Very sad day in my gardening world
So I have had a really awesome year. I have had the blackest thumb my entire life (ok, I'm only 27, so it hasn't been THAT long of a life LOL). I still can't keep house plants alive.
But my garden has done amazing. I have had no issues with anything. I've been able to harvest. I've lost very few plants (and I planted A LOT). I have a ton of tomatoes starting to turn, I have been eating beans for a couple weeks now, along with lettuce.
So I go out to my garden yesterday. I have cucumbers! I planted I think 4 or 5 different varieties tosee what grows well here and what I like and such. I have a total of 4 bush cucs (although they are NOT bushy at all LOL, they are being guided upa trellis). And then I have I think about 14 other cuc plants. They are spread out in 3 different areas, in a total of 2 boxes.
So along with my cute lil cucumbers (a few big enough to be used for dill pickles) and I have cucumber beatles fornicating all over my plants!! *cries*
I have had NO bug problems. NO fungus problems. Just all around NO issues at all (except for some ants and a squirrel stealing my ant traps.)
Cucumbers were the ONE THING thatI really wanted to make it so that I can can some using great gramma's recipe and take them to her! She hasn't been able to garden the last few years (shes 96) and its the one thing I wanted to take to her before she passes away.
So what did I do?!?!?
I went out and covered all of my plants (and surrounding plants and grass on accident LOL) in Sevin Dust. I felt like I was pouring poison on my garden.
I keep telling myself that if I wait the 3 days to harvest any cucs (though they probably won't be ready for a bit longer) and wash them really really well that they will STILL be better than any nasty stuff bought at the grocery store.
Off to pout some more.
Well....cheer up, and march yourself right back out there- and show those beetles who's the boss! That's what I do -I went on the offensive, and really took it to the squash bugs. I climbed right in there with them- and squished every last one. Anybody driving by would have freaked out, when the only thing they saw was a couple of size 15 shoes sticking out of the foliage! That's your garden, and you worked hard on it. Don't let those little pests bring you down. Get mad, go out there at night, when they least expect it - and they're having a big party.....every night.You go girl! Are you motivated yet?
that's right!! don't let them get the best of you!! they are little critters!! LOL geeze and grandma is waiting on YOUR cukes!! did that get ya?? **big grinn**
i bought seven last year, but i couldn't bring myself to use it. something about putting poison on food i'm gonna feed my kids and us, so i never used it, but i didn't tell mom since actually she bought it for me, LOL when she asks i say ahhhh my squash turned out great mom!! thanks!! your the best!! and give her a great big hug :'> LOL ~Medo
now get busy getting them bugs out of there **big smile**
Well I did put the Sevin out there, cringing the whole time, but the good news is I have upside down beetles all over the leaves LOL. AND even better is it is raining like CRAZY out there right now so that means most of it is getting washed off already. And I will probably spray it down 50 more times with the hose before I harvest any cucs. ROFL.
Thanks for the encouragement! I tried to squash a bunch of the *enter not nice word here* last night but the mosquitoes were eating me and the babies alive so we came inside.
*fingers crossed* I hope I got on it soon enough, I hope that in the 24 hours they were out there that they didn't fornicate enough to create too many more of the lil creeps.
Thanks EG! I think I poured enough Sevin on there to last a while. *blushes* I didn't have a shaker can so I cut just a tip in the bag and started shaking, errrr pouring it on the plants. LOL. It poured pretty good last night and there is still some left on the lower leaves. I did go out and do a quick once over this morning and nothing yet. I did look for eggs before I sprinkled and didn't see any (thats not to say with a dog, 2yo, and 3yo that I didn't miss a few leaves LOL).
I got some of that stuff on me yesterday, the wind blew it in my face, and youch, not nice stuff! So Imma wash all the leaves down with the hose and then do some examining during nap time today :)
Thanks for reminding me of those lil eggs!
Next time you use sevin - take a knee high, and pour about a cup full of the sevin powder into it - this will create a "ball" of powder that you can hold in one hand, and just shake it and also brush it - over/under/and against the plant leaves. This is a very good method to dust with, and uses way less powder.
EG you mean Im supposed to have knee highs in my drawer?!?!!? ROFL. Maybe the neighbor lady has some I can borrow.
And an update, its 930 pm and I have yet to see another "thing" (to put it nicely) and no eggs that I've found yet either, though I will keep watching out for those "things."
LOL, No- you're not supposed to have any for personal use, just buy a pair for use in the garden. I bought 8 pairs of extra large the other day at walmart, and the saleslady asked me what I was gonna do with them. I told her that my garden needed them! And the bigger the better......She told me that was TMI...LOL I told her my garden was weird, but in a good way.
ROFL. Hey I wouldn't think anyone at Walmart would think thats strange.......at least our Walmart.........let's just say its a very "diverse" place.
Guess I will have to invest in some next time I go to have on hand in case the "things" (are we allowed to swear on here? LOL) return!
No swearing allowed! Very bad. That's why there's a character map on your computer. It's got all kinds of weird symbols on it, that you can use - to make up words with! Here's where it is - from the start menu, go to programs/accessories/system tools/character map. You can say words like this : "Why you little ΣΣÐΣЮÎÚ³ââºâ«!"
Don't worry Jeni, the plants don't care if you use the thigh-his or the knee-his, although I have to buy new nylons for my garden, last time I wore any was to a wedding 2 years ago. However, the preschool I work at always has little girls ripping up tights and then they toss them, those work fine for tying up plants (tomato bondage, as mr fishy says).

i didn't know that!! i usually just start the word then add the stars!! LOL or you can use the things above the numbers. :') (although they're not as cool!! LOL)
your so nice, i'da told the lady with a nice smile hey, you asked! LOL and grinned big time!! LOL **big ol grin** that's funny, now the topeka walmart, they are stuffy- some of them, its kinda big townish, others are just downright funny, but if ya go to the north topeka store they are a hoot!! LOL
but when we go to salina to visit my dad and susie, ahhhh i love them people!! they are so relaxed!! LOL but if ya
go to the garden center in the walmart they'd think it was funny! LOL ~Medo
p.s. ya can use mint oil for the misquitos and it works great!! lavender don't seem to work this year :'(
Well.....my Walmart is "special". One of the greeters is a retired fellow - that does the best job of welcoming you to his store! First time I walked in with him greeting, As soon as I got 10 feet in front of him - he said, "WELCOME TO WALMART!!!!!!!!" You could hear him all the way to the electronics department! LOL. The women working in the salon weren't even using hair driers no more, if they needed to dry somebody's hair they had just cut- they'd just grab their comb, and tell the customer "Now hon...we're fixin to dry your hair...when I tell you to put the earplugs in - we'll have it dry in about 3 seconds" LOL A few months later, I walked in, and sure nuff....there he was....just waiting for the right time to get me. I was like....Oh god....here it comes - i'll probably have to go to the eye,ear,nose, and throat doctor after this one.. Instead, he faintly said..."welcome to walmart". I asked the cashier if his wife died, or something - causing him to lose some of his "spunk". She said "naw, he just got a new hearing aid!"
her babies were getting eaten by skeeters so she couldnt stay out to long to inpect them plants soosoooo, i told her about mint oil. it works great!! i use it on talla, she is a mosquito magnet!! they absolutely love her blood. so i mix stuff up and if they stay away i know it works!! LOL
ours at walmart are ok so far. LOL
if ya go to sallys beauty salon they have a green tea massage oil, i use that sparingly, but the skeeters stay away!! big time!! and the other thing!! it lasts forever and your skin is sooooo soft!! and you smell good!! LOL :') its like 8 something tho but well worth the price!! especially for as long as it lasts!
did ya get all them bugs?? i hope so!! :') ~Medo
There ya go....see? This thread started out all sad, ( ok, whisper, now.)"then got really weird once you-know-who showed up" shhh....Don't say anything, she might run over me with her boat"......
And ended with a table full of harvested horticultural happiness. Yay!
HEY HEY!!! now ya'll be have!!! LOL had to check on ya'll!! LOL **big grinn** BUTTTT i do have a boat that DOES run!!! LOL but alas hubs wouldn't let me run anyone over with it!! LOL so your lucky there!! only cuz it might get him in trouble, SHHHH pprobably only cuz he don't wanna get stuck with these rugrats!!! LOL **onry laugh** LOL
Looking good on the food!! see ya did awesome!! now if ya just don't keel over from the poison ya put on the poor food!! LOL ya know i'm jsut kidding!! LOL :') although there is a wash i had read about its hmmmm......1 gal warm water, 1 bar of ivory soap, i think like 1//4 c oil, spray on after a rain, and reapply every time it rains. make sure to get under the leaves as well, but ya have to let the bar "melt" in the warm water over night. i tried it last year and works well. i just havent this year. the oil has the soap/water stick to the plant to keep the bugs away from your plant/food. my spreader thingi didn't work, and ya know how it is, everytime ya go to the store ya have moreimportant things on your mind than some little feeder/spreader thingi!! for your hose!! LOL ohhhh the best part, its safe!!! ~Medo
if you're still a little worried about sevin, you can use DE (diatomaceous earth) in your garden instead. it's completely non-toxic to people, plants, and animals. it feels like talcum powder to us, but it's made up of super-tiny sharp skeletons of tiny little sea creatures.
long story short - when bugs crawl on it (ants, roaches, svb, cuc beetles, aphids, fleas, slugs, etc.) it cuts their bodies and they dry out. you can even use it on or *IN* pets to get rid of internal parasites.
you can buy it at hardware stores, online, or plant nurseries. just don't get the pool-filter grade DE, that has chemicals in it.
it's so thoughtful of you to grow the cucs for your gram. i bet she'll *love* 'em!

Has anyone installed this bathtub? We are looking for an affordable, deep, cast-iron bathtub. And it seems like this is one of the best choices out there according to it's specs. But it's special order everywhere and I can't get a hold of any good pictures of it or see it in person.
You may want to post this on the discussions side of this board. This area is for finished bathroom pictures and most people don't respond to questions here.

2005 Mercedes-Benz M-Class ML350 Review
Turns on a dime, easy to park and turn in tight spots! Loaded with Deluxe features. A dream to drive and so safe for driver and passengers. Leather seats are so comfy, and heated seats are cosy!
Takes about $50 to fill it up but goes a long way. Will need new tires this year.
I Love This Car! — I was taking clients out and they had a fantastic new jeep. My partner said to them, nice car! They said, yes, but it doesn't touch yours... the look and perception of this Mercedes is very luxurious, they had just paid over $50,000 but they thought I had the superior car.

Ml500 - Great Vehicle — A great SUV. Of course fuel efficiency is not great. I feel very safe in this vehicle. Use it to go from FL to VT and the handling on the highway is great. We have actually taken it off road on some VT trails and it handles great.

Boyne, Battle of the, July, 1690, a battle between the Protestant forces of William III, king of England, and the Catholic forces of the deposed James II. It was fought in the valley of the River Boyne near Drogheda in northeastern Ireland. Eighteen months before, in the "Glorious Revolution" of 1688, James had been driven from the English throne and replaced by his sister Mary and her husband, William of Orange, who ruled jointly. James then went to Ireland, where he had many supporters and where he was aided by Louis XIV of France, then at war with England. King William crossed to Ireland and defeated James. The movement to restore James to the throne continued for some time, but the Battle of the Boyne greatly strengthened William's position.

Dr Somers was very sweet, caring, and understanding. I would recommend her to everyone.UofU Patient January 10, 2015
Dr Somers always makes me feel that I am listened to and am an active participant in my health careUofU Patient January 07, 2015
Dr Somers and her staff have been phenomenal. As someone who doesn't like going to the Dr, but absolutely has to, the experience of switching providers caused some anxiety. However, Dr Somers is very nurturing, warm and kind. I would use the same words to describe her staff. They are all also knowledgeable and very responsive to my questions/concerns as well.UofU Patient December 30, 2014
Dr. Somers is now my primary care provider because she is the most compassionate MD I've ever had. She listens to me and never seems rushed or overwhelmed.UofU Patient December 30, 2014
Dr. Summers was great!UofU Patient December 28, 2014

Dr. Amy Somers was excellent!!! I would have to hesitation in recommending her to anyone. We will be back to the clinic for our child's future visits (as well as our own). Our previous provider at the clinic is still there as well so it will be up to my child as to which provider we see. Either way, it will be a good choice.

Trends in U.S. Education Spending
HEHS-95-235: Published: Sep 15, 1995. Publicly Released: Sep 15, 1995.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO examined the current status and trends in public education spending, focusing on: (1) the current expenditure levels for education and how they have changed over time; (2) the roles local, state, and federal governments play in financing education in the United States, and how these roles have changed over time; and (3) how the states differ in their capacity to provide resources for education and their relative tax effort.
GAO found that: (1) since 1980, total real expenditures in public elementary and secondary schools have increased, while the average national per pupil expenditure increased then stabilized after 1989; (2) total public expenditures for elementary and secondary education increased by 40 percent to $254.4 billion from the 1979-1980 school year to the 1992-1993 school year; (3) the number of poor children attending elementary and secondary schools has increased, and the cost of educating these and other at-risk children is higher than educating those not at risk; (4) the average per pupil expenditure for elementary and secondary students has leveled off after years of increase; (5) the average per pupil expenditure in school year 1992-1993 was $5,296; (6) the portion of state budgets designated for elementary and secondary education decreased between fiscal years 1987 and 1994; (7) states' ability to raise revenues for education grew more slowly than their willingness to raise revenues for overall spending; and (8) state and local governments feel more pressure to increase education spending in less wealthy school districts.

Holy Thursday - April 2 - Mass of the Lord's Supper - 7:00 pm - bilingual
Good Friday - April 3
Divine Mercy Novena & Chaplet - 3:00 pm - 3:30 pm (Continuing everyday at 3:00 pm until April 12th)
Good Friday Liturgy - 7:00 pm - bilingual
Easter Vigil - April 4 - 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm - bilingual
The Saturday evening Easter Vigil is the mother service of the church. It includes a leisurely and extended reflection on the scriptures, the lighting of the Easter Fire, the baptism and confirmation of the elect and Easter Mass. All are welcome and are encouraged to wear white and bring a hand bell of any kind to ring in the Easter Alleluia. Though powerful in its beauty and rich in its symbolism, the Easter Vigil is never rushed. Allow two and half hours for this service.
We stand in the proud tradition and heritage of our forebears who in 1881 dared to believe that they could be a parish and who built our first church on these holy mountains. Their faith and trust in each other formed the foundation of over a century of dedication to our Catholic community. In this, our second century of Catholic life among the people of Park City we continue that witness, and have formed a firm foundation for future generations to live their faith to the full. We have fashioned the wood, stone and glass of our church into a family of brothers and sisters who have Jesus Christ as their capstone. We continue to open our arms and welcome all who seek the light of Christ
We are Catholic. We are a Eucharistic people. We are called to build up the Kingdom of God. We share the healing power of God's love with our parish and the larger community. We serve those in need. We are beacons of hospitality who model compassion and seek justice for all.
As a Catholic people, we live in a constant state of transformation. We provide opportunities for faith development. We foster unity among the multicultural people who form our parish.
As a Eucharistic people, we become One Body, One Spirit in Christ with all of God's people. We nurture an atmosphere infused with God's love for us and the joy of our opportunity to serve others.
Thus formed in the Spirit, we bear personal witness to the Father's love and to Christ's example of how to live in this world. We embrace and engage all parish members, especially our youth, in living a vibrant, Catholic faith.

Last week's Scrambler: I would rather die of passion than of boredom.
Congratulations to the members of the 2008-2009 Lady Vandal basketball team. The team will be inducted into the Vandalia High School Sports Halt of Fame on Sept. 26 at the home coming football game.
About a week ago, I received an emergency e-mail from Susan Etcheson, who had company coming into town to accomplish some genealogical research in a very short amount of time.
The extended relatives, Tom and Pam Lankford, and his sister, Binky, were coming to Vandalia to visit their mother's hometown.
It's not unusual for two or more law enforcement entities to respond to an accident or other type of incident. Sometimes, the officers don't even know each other or what each other is capable of doing.
Even before he takes over as Fayette County's sheriff, Chris Smith wants to remedy that. He also wants to be involved in the training of all of those officers.
Last Tuesday, Smith, working with Fayette County State's Attorney Joshua Morrison, held the first Fayette County law enforcement meetings.
Kathy Schultz, the administrator of the Vandalia Memories page on Facebook, posted this old photo of the Frier Barber Shop.
This and other photos from Vandalia's past can be seen on the Vandalia Memories page on Facebook
John Metzger, a 42-year-old brick manufacturer, landed in Vandalia on July 10, 1863, following a long voyage from his home in Canton Schofthausen, Switzerland, through the port of Havre, France, to New York aboard the "Goshen" and on to Chicago, arriving July 4, 1863.
With him on the perilous journey was his wife, Mary Magdalene (Stihl), and their seven children: John Ulrich, Jacob, Anna, Margarette, Mary Magdalene, John H. and Louise Metzger. One more son, Gottfried, would be born in Fayette County.
If you have visited the Fayette County website, you have noticed that it's not really useful in your daily dealings with the county. And, some of the information there is even outdated.
On Tuesday, the Fayette County Board approved a proposal to have a company that specializes in the development and design of government websites.
Hopefully, that partnership will create and maintain a website that is increasingly more valuable to county residents and others who have dealings with the county.
We do not have a Banks photo this week.

We're kidding right?
You're missing the point. Irrespective of the laws repsecting pot, it's still illegal to steal electricity... and in many cases from state-run companies.
If growing pot becomes legal, you'll have to pay for the hydro. It'll increase prices
5-point harnesses are not safer than tri-point for street use. The 5-point harnesses do hold you more securely in your seat, which enables you to be more functional in high-g cornering and similar. There's no denying that it holds you firmly in your seat and distributes pressure better.
That said, the main issue with 5-points is rescue operations. With a tri-point, an emergency official can pry open the door and slide you out of the car without ever releasing the belt. Having the open side enables emergency officials to save your life in the event of its need.

This is what happens when you have a single point of failure like a stupid, technically illiterate secretary added to the mix.
Due Process is going out the window. That also includes defending yourself with the lawyer you choose. Recently the SCOTUS ruled amazingly enough that it was okay for the government to even seize assets that were in your lawyers hands to pay for legal fees. [washingtonpost.com] So now the system is rigged against you to the point where the Judge and the prosecution pick your lawyer for you. Good by freedom, hello club Fed.

China Mobile Deploys Acme Packet for China's Largest IMS Network16:30 EDT Tuesday, August 03, 2010 BEDFORD, Mass. (Business Wire) -- Acme Packet® (Nasdaq: APKT), the leader in session border control solutions, today announced that China Mobile (NYSE: CHL; HK STOCK:00941.HK), the largest service provider in the world with over 554 million fixed line and mobile subscribers, has selected Acme Packet for its IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) project. Acme Packet Net-Net® session border controllers (SBCs) are used at China Mobile's fixed access borders to enable the secure, high-quality delivery of IP Centrex and hosted voice services to residential and business subscribers. China Mobile is deploying Acme Packet's Net-Net session border controllers in multiple cities across five provinces throughout China as part of an initial deployment of IMS. China Mobile has a multi-year plan to build its IMS network and migrate all fixed and mobile communications services to this next-generation architecture. Acme Packet SBCs have also been deployed to support multiple services on its pre-IMS NGN including IP Centrex, Multimedia Telephony (MMTel), multimedia ring-back tones, multimedia conferencing and click-to-call services in Shanxi province. "China Mobile is leading the IMS charge in order to deliver innovative IP interactive communications to the largest subscriber base in the world," said Seamus Hourihan, Acme Packet's executive vice president of marketing and product management.

CCI clears Rs 1.83 lakh crore projects in Infrastructure

New Delhi: Seeking to win back investors to shore up the rupee and spur growth, the government has approved a raft of infrastructure projects worth Rs 1.83 lakh crore.
Finance Minister P Chidambaram said the Cabinet Committee on Investment (CCI) Monday cleared hurdles faced by 18 power projects, and a similar number of projects in road, railways and petroleum.
"Our highest priority is to get the investment cycle restarted," he told reporters.
18 power projects worth Rs 83,773 crore, which were stalled because of lack of fuel linkages, will sign supply accords with Coal India Ltd by September 6.
The projects which will get coal include Adani Group's Maharashtra plant, GMR's 1,400 MW Kamalanga unit in Dhenkanal district of Odisha, Lanco's Badandh power plant in Odisha and Talwani Power of Punjab.
Besides, the CCI cleared hurdles for projects like Reliance Power's 4,000 MW ultra mega power project at Sasan in Madhya Pradesh, L&T's Metro Rail project in Hyderabad, Hindalco Industries project and Essar Power's Jharkhand project.
"Yesterday CCI met to look at a large number of projects. It cleared projects with a total outlay of Rs 1.83 lakh crore ... Message that we are sending, we are very keen to get investment cycle restarted. The cycle has started and we are pushing it further," Chidambaram told reporters.
Chidambaram said apart from power sector projects, there are nine projects with a total outlay of over Rs 14,084 crore, where the banks have disbursed Rs 1,484 crore.
"There are no issues related to nine projects that are pending. All of them have been resolved. Only action taken reports are required to be sent from time to time to be placed before the CCEA by concerned ministries," he said.
Another nine projects reviewed by the CCI involved an investment of over Rs 85,000 crore.
The Finance Minister further said that banks have already disbursed as much as Rs 30,000 crore for the power sector projects and with clearances in place they would provide more funds for these projects.
On land acquisition problems, one of the major causes of delays in projects, Chidambaram said, "After the Food Bill, the one listed is Land Bill. Now that the (Food) Bill is passed, the next item on the list will be Land Acquisition Bill."
"In the Sasan project, Stage-I clearance or preliminary approvals have been given. When this is verified by the state of Madhya Pradesh and the promoter (Reliance Power) deposits the money further, clearances will be given," he said.

The Minister said that 'Jaiprakash Power Madhya Pradesh', which is setting up a power plant in MP is yet to identify the land for compensatory afforestation and the Centre has conveyed it to the developer to get the job done so that further approvals can be granted.
GMR's Kishangarh-Udaipur-Ahmedabad project will be brought to the Cabinet by September 15.
As far as the Utkal Alumina plant in Odisha is concerned, there is only one issue which is that the water for the project should be drawn from the Hirakund reservoir.
"Ministry of Water Resources has written more than once to the Odisha government but there is no response. The Minister of Water Resources has been advised to meet the Chief Minister of Odisha to find out why the state government is not taking any decision on the matter," Chidambaram said.
The matter of Essar Power Jharkhand's 1,800 MW thermal plant is likely to be resolved by September 20, the Minister added.

by Andy Ruddock
It's been a terrible World Cup. Germany and Argentina in the final. Again. Mario Balotelli on an early plane back to Italy. James Rodriguez sent home in tears. Neymar almost paralysed. Meanwhile, everyone's favourite panto villain, Luis Suarez,secures his dream move to Barcelona. This year, nice guys finished last.
All of this raises familiar questions about footballers as role models. Suarez's infamous transgression provoked predictable concerns about the effects of media on children.Kinder teachers discussed the difficulties of enforcing 'no biting' policies when kids can see miscreants getting away with it on screen.
They do have grounds to worry. Albert Bandura, architect of the controversial "Bobo Doll" studies, argued that unpunished screen violence can be a powerful source of social learning.
But there's much more at stake here than behaviours. Social scientists pretty much agree that there's a long journey between screen and real anti-social behaviour. Even Bandura concluded that replication required complex patterns of interpretation, motivation and opportunity, which hadnothing to do with media and everything to do with society.
Others have argued that violent television characters – and that is partly what Luis Suarez has become – affect how we think about the world. Succinctly, men who get away with violence time and again in popular culture encourage the view that we live in a 'mean world'. The main 'effect' of these stories is that they erode trust.
We think that, other than our friends and family, the world is a mercenary place full of people who will do anything to get over. And right now, before the final, that seems to be Brazil's main lesson.
But hang on. It's been a great tournament, hasn't it? Tim Cahill gave a masterclass on superstar dignity. Belgium flipped a much-needed bird to European fascism. The group stages were full of the sense that anything could happen in a truly global game. The only real disappointment has been that no referee tried to belittle a haughty defender by spraying him in the face with squirty cream.
All of which reminds us that the role model question is really about how we use football players as resources to imagine what we would like the world to be like.
The most erudite explanation of this process comes from literary scholar Grant Farred. In his bookLong Distance Love, Farred explains how his journey toward Ivy League success started with his passions for Liverpool Football Club and John Barnes.
As a boy in apartheid-era South Africa, football was an international media language that helped him articulate his experiences with global political struggles. And Barnes was a vital ingredient in this intellectual project.
By the 1980s, Farred's love of Liverpool FC was chafing against his political identity. A generation of black players flourished in English football, but none had established themselves at the famous Merseyside club. Was this an expression of institutional racism? Did this leave Farred walking alone?
Barnes success at Liverpool in the late 1980s reconciled this personal/political conflict. So much so that the literature professor wrote a book about it.
He even travelled to Liverpool to talk about the project. There, one gloomy Wednesday afternoon, I sat with a dozen or so other people listening to Farred speak. It was just like any other seminar until the door opened and in walked … John Barnes.
There could scarcely have been a more authentic endorsement of the argument that popular culture matters. Barnes fully accepted that his career was implicated in racial politics. He didn't think he was just a player. He did think that he counted for more than his ability to dribble past the entire Brazilian team and score in the Maracana stadium that will host tonight's final.
But Barnes also warned that the 'role model' tag could never sit easily on any player's head. Poignantly, he explained how, week-in week-out, the only way he could serve it was simply to play.
What Barnes was really saying is that fans need to work too. The encounter with Farred was, in the end, a recognition that football stars are raw materials for social conversations. If they end up saying important things, it's up to audiences to help articulate the message. "Long Distance Love" is an extraordinary example of an ordinary process that we all engage in; projecting ideas and hopes onto players.
So it doesn't really matter what happens tonight. What does count is how we interpret and learn from what we have seen. And that doesn't depend on Suarez, Neymar or Messi. It depends on you. So what sort of role model will you be?

Sports journalism students at Arizona State University take us out to the ballpark for a fan's-eye view of the Brewers and spring training.
Brewers fans give back
Phoenix - So much of spring training, from the lawn seating to the ticket prices, is designed to make the experience as enjoyable as possible for the crowd. On Sunday, Brewers fans had a unique opportunity to repay the favor.
Before the game against the White Sox, the Brewers and the American Red Cross invited fans to participate in a fundraiser for the Japanese tsunami relief effort. By donating the amount of their choice, fans could get autographs from 19 current Brewers, in addition to Hall of Famers Robin Yount and Bob Uecker.
Milwaukee native Donnie Zimmerman was one of hundreds of Brewers fans waiting in a line that snaked up an aisle and into the concourse away from Prince Fielder's seat on the field. For her, the chance to contribute to a worthy cause and obtain a gift for her grandson was well worth a long wait.
"I have a 9-year-old grandson back in Milwaukee who couldn't make it out here because of school," explained Zimmermann. "He loves baseball and loves Prince Fielder. This autograph and the photo I just took of Prince are going to be a present for his 10th birthday, and he's gonna be ecstatic."
For Bob Larson and Debbie Cooke, who flew from Milwaukee for the final four games in Maryvale, the experience of interacting with their favorite players far surpassed their expectations.
"We were so pleasantly surprised by all of this," said Larson. "I mean, everybody's so nice. Everybody takes time not just to sign, but to talk to you, to be nice about it, [saying] 'thank you for your time, for being a fan, and for contributing to the cause.' It was just incredible to be here."
And while the event was certainly an unforgettable experience for the fans involved, the Red Cross donation buckets next to the players at each table were a conspicuous reminder of the tragic events that precipitated it.
The tsunami was especially devastating for Takashi Saito, who was born and raised in Sendai, a city that now lies in utter devastation. Usually a prankster in the clubhouse and comedian for the media cameras, Saito has comported himself with dignified reserve and stoic resolve since the tragedy.
Saito's humanity in the wake of tragedy has earned him new fans, many of whom took time to pass along their best wishes to him during the autograph session. Afterwards, he expressed, through his translator, that he was very surprised and thankful for Brewers fans' strong show of support.
"I can't really express my gratitude for how people here, so far from my homeland, are so concerned for me and my family," said Saito. "It's very special for me."
The event, which raised about $4,600, was the latest affirmation this spring of the benefits brought about by the strong bond between the Brewers and their fans.

Simple Lavender Question?
How well does lavender grow in central Florida, in the ground? Have three plants in a bed that is apart of the house with a roof overhead. Recieves the morning, up to mid-afternoon sun. The medium is house dirt that drains well. Any success out there to speak of that has been grown in the soil? Wanting the hedge look
I actually live in Pa. But I can tell you that you are going to do well with that kind of Soil. I water mine every other day, they do require moist soil. Don't over water but be sure that they are in moisture. Also if it get's to hot and you have not had any rain I would suggest grabbing a spray bottle and around dusk, spry them with water. Do not spray them when the sun is out, it can and will burn the plant. I hope that helps you.
"Wanting the hedge look"
If I understand what you are looking for, rosemary would be another possible choice. I've seen nice sheared hedges of it and it has small lavender colored flowers which are attractive. Someone else will have to tell us if it will do well in Florida but I believe it will.

Medal record
Brett McClure (born February 19, 1981 in Yakima, Washington) is a retired American gymnast.[2] He won a bronze medal in the pommel horse at the 2001 Goodwill Games in Brisbane, Australia, and later helped his U.S. gymnastics team earn a silver in the all-around competition at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. During his sporting career, McClure has collected two more silver medals in the same program at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships (2001 and 2003). McClure is also a resident athlete for the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Early years[edit]
McClure was born in Yakima, Washington, the son of Les and Judy McClure.[1] He started gymnastics at the age of nine under the influence of his father Les, who pushed him to train and perform ten pushups from a handstand position against the wall. When his family later resided in Mill Creek, Washington, he spent two years at Henry M. Jackson High School and finished up early under an international school program in Woodinville. In 1999, McClure moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado to work and train as a full-time resident athlete at the U.S. Olympic Training Center, under head coach Vitaly Marinich.[3]
McClure made his official worldwide debut at the 2001 Goodwill Games in Brisbane, Australia, where he received an average score of 9.362 to bring home the bronze medal in the pommel horse, finishing behind China's Huang Xu and Romania's Marius Urzică.[4] On that same year, he added a silver to his annual hardware in the men's team all-around competition (a total of 166.845) at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Ghent, Belgium.[5]
At the 2003 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Anaheim, California, McClure pulled off a highest preliminary score in the horizontal bar to give U.S. a second straight silver in the men's team all-around competition. His team received a composite score of 171.121, trailing China by nearly eight-tenths of a point (0.8).[6]
2004 Summer Olympics[edit]
McClure competed for the United States at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens by earning a spot in the men's gymnastics team from the Olympic trials in Boston.[7] On the first day of the Games, McClure joined with his teammate Paul Hamm in the individual all-around final from the prelim stage, finishing nineteenth with an entry score of 56.323.[8] In the team all-around, McClure ended a 20-year-old drought to capture a silver for the U.S. men's best medal finish, joining on top of the podium by Jason Gatson, Paul Hamm, Morgan Hamm, Blaine Wilson, and Guard Young.[9] During the competition, McClure performed a pommel horse (9.650) and horizontal bar (9.412) to sum up the team's total to 172.933, trailing Japan by almost a full point.[9][10] In his final event, the individual all-around, McClure finished outside the medals in ninth place with a score of 57.248, just six-tenths of a point behind his teammate Hamm.[11][12]
Life after gymnastics[edit]
On May 25, 2006, McClure announced his retirement from competitive gymnastics to pursue other opportunities and spend time with his family in Colorado.[13] He was later named assistant coach of the Air Force Falcons gymnastics team at the United States Air Force Academy near Colorado Springs, Colorado.[14]

- Introduction
- The Hong Kong Secondary Schools Debating Competition is an independent debating competition, which uses a simple conflict debating format without any points of information or free debate section.
The HKSSDC was set up with 58 teams in the first term of the 2012-2013 academic year. Since then, the number of teams has grown considerably so that the 2014-2015 Term 2 Competition, which has just started, has 180 teams.
HKSS Debating aims to give students the necessary experience to contribute more in NSS Debating module lessons and give better responses to related DSE examination questions. Planning for and competing in debates along with taking part in HKSSDC workshops helps get students' confidence and skills up quickly.
HKSS Debating also aims to develop students' critical thinking and broaden their exposure through debating in English. By doing this, students gain a deeper understanding of important local and regional issues and are better able to discuss them in an international forum.
Each team gets at least two debates each term. Those teams which win both rounds go into the regional and levels finals for that term. There are usually more than 3 weeks to prepare for each round so the workload commitment is relatively light. The timing flexibility also allows teams to schedule debates themselves to avoid busy times in the school calendar.
If you have any questions about the Competition or would like to make inquiries about workshops or about entering a team in the 2015-2016 Term 1 Competition, please contact the Competition Coordinator, Stan Dyer on email@example.com.
