PSA slightly revises Q1 GDP growth
Posted at 08/27/2014 4:39 PM | Updated as of 08/27/2014 5:55 PM
MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine economy grew at an even slower pace in the first quarter than initially reported.
The Philippine Statistics Authority on Wednesday reported the 2014 first quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth figure was revised downward from 5.7 percent to 5.6 percent.
"This was due to downward revisions in Transportation, Storage, and Communication; Mining and Quarrying; and Financial Intermediation," the PSA said.
Second quarter GDP data is scheduled to be released on Thursday morning.
A Reuters poll showed the Philippine economy likely grew 6.2 percent in April-June, as strong factory output and exports, plus a pick-up in state spending helped drive growth.

It was the Saturday of the Super Moon in early May. Stefanie + Josh shuttled 100 family and friends to the middle of Joshua Tree Forest to the ultra cool La Haute Desert Aerie. This venue was originally an artists retreat as proven by its amazing decor. Surrounded by thousands of craggy cream colored boulders and expansive desert the house is in a world all its own. The couple got married under a homemade hoopa made of drift wood Josh collected and fashioned for Stefanie. They danced the night away under the moon lit desert all night. It was magic!
In 2014 I stared working with Jenny from TOMBOYchic. I met her when I shot her beautiful wedding a few years ago to this amazing guy named Joe at Smogg Shop in LA [click here for that gallery.] Last year she translated her amazing street style into an online blog everyone can enjoy.
Jenny and I love to walk her dog Bella, take photos all around Venice and talk about our ridiculously ambitious dreams over a glass of Sauv Blanc (or two.) Enjoy!
Jenny + Joe @ Smog Shoppe
Most people tend to gravitate towards coastlines or fancy resorts for wedding locations but not Jenny and Joe. This super chic couple found the city's hidden gem of a venue in an converted Smog Shop - ya like the kind you take your car to! Don't be deterred by the locales humble beginnings - it is one of the best venues in LA. The two were married under a towering wall of succulents. Dinner was catered by the yummy Heirloom LA and served while Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid played in the background. Dancing was had by all to Jenny's favorite 90's hip hop jams. I felt cooler just being there... but the coolest thing of all was watching how much love was between the two. Cheers to Jenny and Joe!
A perk of my job is working with the best of the best when it comes to wedding artisans. Featured in the gallery are promo shots I've done for Salty Blooms floral design and K.A.Kalligraphy. If you are planning a wedding in Southern California be sure to check them out. Both women are so much fun and incredibly talented!

Katie May is the master of the sleek backless wedding gowns. For this shoot we climbed to the top of the highest peak in Topanga Canyon to get a real bohemian romantic look. Her effortless dresses went perfectly with the dreamy locale. New lookbook drops this February!
Michelle + Mike @ Cedar Lakes Estate
Ever wanted to go to summer camp? How about taking everyone you know and love with you? Thats exactly what Michelle and Mike did when they had their wedding at Cedar Lakes Estate. I cannot even convey how amazing this wedding was! A pig roast, homemade marshmallow smores, and dancing kicked off the three day love fest at the welcome dinner. Day two guests kayaked, jumped into the lake from the BLOB and enjoyed camp activities. At dusk the couple got married on a hill with an impressive view of the valley (think Tuscany rolling hills) and then drank, dined and danced in the estate's barn under twinkling lights. After a gourmet brunch guests (and the photographer!) were sent hope with full hearts and bellies. THIS is how you do a wedding. Cheers!
A collection of engagements. Engagements are my favorite! The couples are so in love and its pre crazy wedding stress! The best shoots happen when people are uniquely themselves, show their style, laugh and make out a lot!

Art deco wedding downtown? Yes please! Taylor and Jack let their dapper style shine through (I can say 'dapper' because Jack is British) at the Hotel Palomar. The bride's bouquet made of purely broaches was as radiant as she was. The two danced the night away to top local band Snake Burner.
VanDeVort Turns One
Shooting events can be fun when you're hanging out with all the VDV babes. Friend Andrea VanDeVort's boutique, VanDeVort, celebrated its one year anniversary with friends and designers including Flynn Skye, Novella Royale, Spell and the Gypsy Collective and model du jour Rocky Barnes. It was a who's who of the bohemian fashion world.
Family portraits, senior portraits, maternity, babies... its all in the family and its all good!
Boudoir is one of my favorite things to shoot. Women are so beautiful! I love shooting grainy black and whites for a romantic and edgy look. Boudoir sessions can be done in the comfort of your own home, while getting ready on your wedding day or in my studio whatever makes you feel sexy!

difference between structural pressure treated lumber & just reg.
what is the difference, if any, between structural pressure treated lumber and regular pressure treated lumber? i know the structurual PT has those little slits or lines on it and the regular does not. At lowes they sell both kinds, very little in price difference, but is the structural PT that much "stronger" or has more chemicals during the PT process? i'll be making a deck roof made out of wood and those slits are unslightly. you can see them on the posts and rafters. could i get away with just using regular PT lumber? There will be no ground contact and I'll be using a ledger board attached to the house frame work.
You wouldn't be able to tell the difference between PT #1 select structural and regular PT #2. Lumber has an ink stamp from the sawmill indicating the grade, species, sawmill, etc. Usually the presure treating process covers up the original stamp.
The little dashes or color of the chemical treatment do not have anything to do with structural grade. Lowes and Home Depot do not sell any #1 structural grade lumber, with the possible exception of 4x6 and larger timbers. You need to look at the stamp to know for sure. The PT at lowes and HD are definitely not structural grade.
If I need #1 select structural PT lumber, I special order it. The sawmill grades the wood #1 and then sends it for chemical treatment. The large PT beams are often already #1, but in order to get PT 2x material in #1, it basically has to be special order.
Don't waste your time even asking the people at Lowes or HD any of these questions. They are probably the ones who told you about looking at the little dashes.
John agrees with Aidan,again, the box stores sell the low grade pt lumber not made for ground contact in other words you would be just as well off using regular yellow pine.
Look for a lumber yard that sells .40 or ground contact material.
Over here I can get #1 pt yellow pine the knot grade is a little better and its been klin dried twice so really it is a little more structural than the #2 grade but your not going to find any of that in the box stores. J.

Capitol Visitor Center:
Update on Status of Project's Schedule and Cost As of November 15, 2006
GAO-07-129T: Published: Nov 15, 2006. Publicly Released: Nov 15, 2006.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
We are pleased to assist the Senate Committee on Appropriations, Subcommittee on the Legislative Branch in monitoring progress on the Capitol Visitor Center (CVC) project. Our remarks will focus on (1) the Architect of the Capitol's (AOC) construction progress and problems since the Subcommittee's September 21, 2006, hearing and their impact on the project's schedule; and (2) the project's expected cost at completion and funding situation. As part of this discussion, we will address a number of key challenges and risks that continue to face the project as well as actions AOC has recently taken, and plans or needs to take, to meet its currently scheduled completion date.
Since the Subcommittee's September 21 CVC hearing, the CVC team has continued to move the project's construction forward, but the project's scheduled completion date has slipped by 6 weeks, to October 26, 2007,3 and further delays are possible. The 6-week delay was attributable to problems with the project's most critical activity--the fire protection system. Under the current schedule, the construction of the House and Senate expansions spaces will be completed before the CVC's construction, but both the CVC and the expansion spaces will be available for occupancy at the same time because final acceptance testing of both is slated to be done concurrently. During the past month, the CVC team has made progress on the project's heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system, interior floor stone and ceiling installation, and other interior and exterior construction work. In addition, AOC sent Congress an action plan for improving its execution of the project and the project's schedule, as the Subcommittee requested and we had recommended, and this plan is responsive to our recommendations. AOC is also considering other action not discussed in this plan. Despite this progress, problems have occurred in many important activities besides the CVC's fire protection system, according to AOC's construction management contractor. Although these delays did not add time to the project's schedule this month, additional delays could do so in the future. Recently identified issues associated with the CVC's HVAC system, fire protection system, and security system--including issues associated with their coordination and testing--also pose risks to the project's scheduled completion date. In addition, concerns have arisen about AOC's ability to achieve a high-quality, complete, and usable facility within the current estimated time frame and cost now that the contractual date for completing sequence 2 construction work--September 15, 2006--has passed. In particular, there is a risk that, without negative consequences, the resolve of some major stakeholders to complete the project in a timely and efficient manner could be adversely affected. Finally, all the indicators of progress that we have been tracking for the Subcommittee, together with other risks and uncertainties, suggest that the project is likely to finish later than October 2007. It is too early to tell whether the actions identified in AOC's November 2006 action plan will be effective in curtailing additional schedule slippages. Furthermore, the concerns identified since the Subcommittee's last CVC hearing, particularly those related to the CVC's HVAC system, if not quickly addressed, could adversely affect the project's schedule. Thus, until it is clear that AOC's actions are effective in curtailing additional schedule slippages, we believe that the facility is more likely to be completed in early 2008 than in the fall of 2007.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: AOC has focused on the HVAC system through their weekly mechanical, electrical and plumbing meetings; bi-weekly commissioning meetings; and weekly schedule meetings. The HVAC commissioning meetings have started and they are close to their proposed schedule. AOC has addressed the need for adequate resources in these various meetings.
Recommendation: To minimize the risks associated with the CVC's HVAC system and the government's ability to get the CVC completed within the current schedule and cost estimates and to give Congress and us greater confidence in the CVC team's project schedules from this point forward, the Architect of the Capitol should work with the rest of the CVC team to ensure that the schedule for completing and commissioning the HVAC system is realistic, that all the work necessary for the proper and safe functioning of the HVAC system--including work in the spaces the air handling units are to serve--is completed in a timely, well-coordinated manner, and that sufficient resources will be available to meet the schedule without creating a trade-stacking problem.
Agency Affected: Architect of the Capitol
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: AOC has established a substantial completion date for the CVC and House and Senate expansion spaces of November 15, 2007. This date was agreed to by the contractor and a modification to the contract was signed by both parties in August 2007. The completion date does not include the final fire alarm test. AOC plans to complete the fire alarm testing by June 27, 2008.
Recommendation: To minimize the risks associated with the CVC's HVAC system and the government's ability to get the CVC completed within the current schedule and cost estimates and to give Congress and us greater confidence in the CVC team's project schedules from this point forward, the Architect of the Capitol should carefully consider the contractual remedies available to AOC to complete all tasks that must precede the start and completion of final acceptance testing of the CVC's fire protection and life safety systems within the time necessary to meet the estimated fall 2007 project completion time frame.

I just wanted to ask everyone to keep the South (and especially Alabama, my home) in your thoughts/prayers. If any of you live in the US, I would also ask that you consider donating blood sometime soon. I believe there is a shortage. My family is fine. In fact, I slept through most of the storms, but about 20 miles away, the area of Phil Campbell got hit really hard. There are a lot of injured, missing, and dead. The school in the town was devastated, and I know many people who have lost their homes. Please consider making donations to the Red Cross if you can. Thanks!
19 September 2010
My sincerest prayers of support are going out to you southerners right now. There is a blood shortage in Alabama (looks like watching CNN dies have value), and I feel sincerely sorry for all those who lost a family member/friend/other acquaintance.
(Also, Is it just me, or do a feel a sort of U/V emerging in the world? The bad, then some good?)
Edit: The US government should offer to double all donations to the Red Cross, up to a certain amount. It raises more money, and, as shown when the Canadian government did the same after Haiti, it made more donate.
As if it matters how a man falls down.'
'When the fall's all that's left, it matters a great deal.
1 May 2010
I just logged in after reading the news. It's just terrible. I'll donate as much as I can. I'm glad to read you're fine kedame.

Perhaps it's too soon, but I'm surprised by the lack of "Donate Here" buttons on the sites I visit.
I'm glad you're safe, kedame. Everyone involved is certainly in my prayers.
This might be worth checking out if you live in that part of the country - weathercall.net.

Hey, guys, thanks for the well wishes. My family wasn't affected at all by the storms other than losing cable/tv/internet for a day. In fact, I slept through most of the storms because school was out that day. Still, I thank you for your kindness. There have been lots of horror stories, but also lots of comforting stories, too.
mr. Sun king coming together said:
I know Joe inquired about one after Japan, although I don't know if he did. (Or was able to)
That's correct. I asked the Red Cross if there was a single page that webmasters could link to, to allow people from all around the world to donate easily, plus banners/overlays to put on the sites. They didn't get back to me, which was a shame.
There are country-specific sites (eg redcross.org is the American Red Cross), but that's not much help if you run a site such as this one that gets visitors from Here, There And Everywhere. Someone needs to create a method where a person's IP address is detected and they're routed through to the correct destination.

The Bosnian-Serb siege of Sarajevo, from spring 1993 until winter 1996, was the longest in modern history. With electricity, water and food supplies cut off and only sporadically supplied, at least 11,541 citizens were shot by snipers or killed by mortars. Today Sarajevo is a rich, vibrant city with stunning architecture and a lively arts and culture scene. Join us for a panel discussion on contemporary Sarajevo.

Feb 27th
EW has debuted these new looks at Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller's 'Sin City' sequel, 'Sin City: A Dame To Kill For.' The cast includes the original cast members: Mickey Rourke as Marv, Jessica Alba as Nancy, Bruce Willis as Hartigan, Rosario Dawson as Gail and Jaime King as Goldie/Wendy. New cast members include: Eva Green as Ava Lord, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Johnny, Dennis Haysbert as Manute, Christopher Meloni as Mort, Jeremy Piven as Bob, Stacy Keach as Wallenquist, Jamie Chung as Miho, Ray Liotta as Joey, Juno Temple as Sally, Julia Garner as Marcy, and Josh Brolin as Dwight. The film arrives on August 22nd. Source: SuperHeroHype.
Sin City: A Dame to Kill For weaves together two of Frank Miller's classic stories with new tales in which the town's most hard boiled citizens cross paths with some of its more repulsive inhabitants. In Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, Dwight is hunted down by the only woman he ever loved, Ava Lord, and then watches his life go straight to hell. Chronologically, this story takes place prior to "The Big Fat Kill" (featured in the film Frank Miller's Sin City) and explains how Dwight came to have a dramatically different face.
Oscars 2014: Matthew McConaughey Interview For 'Dallas Buyers Club'
Feb 27th
Matthew McConaughey stars in 'Dallas Buyers Club' as real-life Texas cowboy Ron Woodroof, whose free-wheeling life was overturned in 1985 when he was diagnosed as HIV-positive and given 30 days to live. These were the early days of the AIDS epidemic, and the U.S. was divided over how to combat the virus. Ron, now shunned and ostracized by many of his old friends, and bereft of government-approved effective medicines, decided to take matters in his own hands, tracking down alternative treatments from all over the world by means both legal and illegal. Bypassing the establishment, the entrepreneurial Woodroof joined forces with an unlikely band of renegades and outcasts – who he once would have shunned – and established a hugely successful "buyers' club." Their shared struggle for dignity and acceptance is a uniquely American story of the transformative power of resilience. The Jean-Marc Vallée directed film also stars Jared Leto, Jennifer Garner, Jared Leto, Steve Zahn, Dallas Roberts, Griffin Dunne, Denis O'Hare, and Bradford Cox. McConaughey's performance in 'Dallas Buyers Club' earned him the Golden Globe Award for "Best Actor – Drama" and an Academy Award nomination for "Best Actor". The Academy Awards take place this coming Sunday, March 2nd.
When you first read the screenplay, what was it about Ron that immediately appealed to you and made you want to play him?
Matthew McConaughey: Well, he was a great anti-hero. A great anti-hero who… what I enjoy about an anti-hero is you don't have to abide by societies laws – they're actually outside of the law and butt the governor on the face, they butt parental guidance on the face. They do things their own way and that means while they are the rule breakers, they make up their own rules, they are usually on the run from something or ducking and diving from something, and they have to live a little on the outskirts of society, or go right up the middle – which Ron does. He goes right up the middle, he sells memberships not drugs, he used the system, a loophole in the system to beat the system – I love that (laughs). The screenplay bled off the page. It was just incredibly human, with no sentimentality. I'd never read a script that tackled the issue from this point of view. Ron was an American original. He shook the tree. He made noise. I said, "I want to get this made, get Ron's story told."
"Chosen" TV Spot For Darren Aronofsky's 'Noah' – Starring Russell Crowe, Ray Winstone, Jennifer Connelly, Emma Watson…
Feb 27th
From Paramount Pictures comes this latest TV spot for Darren Aronofsky's epically-scaled retelling of the biblical story, 'Noah.' Set for a March 28th release in the US and a April 4th bow in the UK, Ray Winstone will play the role of the nemesis to Russell Crowe's eponymous hero. Emma Watson plays Ila, a young woman who develops a close relationship with Noah's son, Shem. That role will be played by Douglas Booth, with Logan Lerman playing Noah's other son, Ham. Jennifer Connelly plays Noah's wife, Naameh. Anthony Hopkins is playing Methuselah, while Kevin Durand is playing a giant who helps Noah and his family. The likes of Dakota Goyo, Nick Nolte and Madison Davenport co-star.
Darren Aronofsky is the man behind some of my favorite films of the last twelve years in 'The Wrestler,' 'The Fountain,' 'Requiem for a Dream,' 'Pi' and 'Black Swan' – fingers crossed 'Noah' adds to that list. 'Noah' is Aronofsky's follow up effort to the Oscar-nominated and hugely profitable 'Black Swan,' which grossed $315 million worldwide on a $12 million budget. The synopsis for 'Noah' is as follows: "NOAH is a close adaptation of the Biblical story of Noah's Ark. In a world ravaged by human sin, Noah is given a divine mission: to build an Ark to save creation from the coming flood."
New 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2′ Viral Post Centering On Dane DeHaan's Harry Osbron
Feb 27th
Today the rather excellent 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2′ viral website, The Daily Bugle, has been updated with a new post directly related to Peter Parker's (Andrew Garfield) childhood buddy Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan). The post is as follows:
By Chelsea Goodrich, Entertainment Editor
Not content to just show off his latest sports car, young billionaire and future misanthrope, Harry Osborn was seen arm in arm with supermodel Valencia Vitaly at the closing ceremonies in Sochi. Osborn had reporters scrambling for an interview, but all questions went unanswered as he disappeared soon after the ceremony ended.
Kate Beckinsale Joins Simon Pegg & The Monty Python Troupe For 'Absolutely Anything'
Feb 26th
Kate Beckinsale has joined the Terry Jones-directed comedy 'Absolutely Anything,' which is gearing up for a March 24th shoot start in London. She'll star opposite Simon Pegg and joins a cast that also include Robin Williams, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Eddie Izzard, Joanna Lumley and the Monty Python gang.
Simon Pegg plays a disillusioned school teacher who suddenly finds he has the ability to do anything he wishes, a challenge bestowed upon him by a group of power-crazed aliens watching from space. The aliens are voiced by Terry Jones and his Python co-horts John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle and Michael Palin. Struggling with the new-found powers, he calls upon his loyal canine companion Dennis (voiced by Robin Williams) to help him along the way. Mishap after mishap finally leads him to an ultimate conundrum: Should he choose the girl (Kate Beckinsale) or the dog?

Former MSU assistant pleads not guilty to drug charges
TOWNSEND -- Former Montana State assistant football coach Joe O'Brien pleaded not guilty Friday to felony drug charges.
O'Brien, 30, appeared in District Court in a hearing that lasted less than 10 minutes. Judge Jeffrey Sherlock allowed him to remain free on $15,000 bail pending another court hearing tentatively set for Oct. 24. A trial date had not been set late Friday afternoon.
Sherlock also agreed to remove restrictions that prevented O'Brien from traveling outside Broadwater or Gallatin counties while his court case is pending. Attorney Dan Buckley made the request, saying O'Brien's new job as a roofer could require him to travel statewide.
O'Brien, who resigned as assistant head coach last week, was arrested in Townsend on Sept. 12 and charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession with intent to distribute, both felonies.
Buckley said O'Brien maintains he was set up by a vindictive individual.
Bozeman Police Detective Greg Megargel, a member of the Missouri River Drug Task Force, has said authorities had been investigating O'Brien for months.
O'Brien was accused of accepting from a police informant an envelope that contained a half-ounce of crystal methamphetamine with a street value of about $2,700.
Authorities say the envelope, first delivered to Federal Express in Belgrade, then delivered to O'Brien by the informant, came from out-of-state. So far, no one else has been charged in the case.
Montana State put O'Brien on paid leave immediately after his arrest. They announced on Sept. 25 that he was resigning.
O'Brien, a native of Pittsburg, Calif., was an All-American defensive lineman at Boise State in 1994. He joined the MSU coaching staff in 2000.
In May 2000, O'Brien was arrested on a misdemeanor assault charge after police said he pushed and injured a woman. He was not convicted, but MSU warned him at the time that if he got in trouble with the law again, it would be grounds for dismissal.

Do most academic historians of twentieth-century Ireland conform to a 'constitutional narrative', driven by a moral imperative to subvert republican interpretations? Has their shared political agenda led to widespread distortion, suppression, 'elision' and falsification of the evidential record? Is it high time to root out 'the insidious influence of Irish public histories presented as objective historical evidence'? In the view of John M. Regan, the answer in all cases is an emphatic 'yes'. This riposte to his recent article in History examines the credibility of Regan's critique, with particular attention to his claim that the late Peter Hart was guilty of 'academic fraud' in his controversial analysis of republican sectarianism and 'ethnic cleansing' in the Irish revolution. When closely examined, Regan's analysis seems perverse and untenable, implicitly relying on a reductionist conspiracy theory which ignores the rich variety and sound scholarship displayed by several generations of historians of modern Ireland.

I likes this.
At first i was gonna give a 9 star but i figured the creativity deserved that extra star. Its a good beat flows nicely, but i have to admit it does seem just a teeeeeny tiiiiny bit repetitive in SOME parts. But all in all, a good "Walk slowly to the dancefloor, then rave like its nobodies business" song. Keep it up.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Very good!!
First of all, great work.
You're right it is pretty smooth unlike some other trances where it's very rough. This is very unique and i like the style of it. The trance matches with the piano very well and there is alot of changes throught the song yet keeping the melody the same (although changing it at some point may have made it better.) There's not really that much i can criticise about this piece, except maybe you could delay the piano melody so that the notes sound longer. I wonder how this would sound like slower =S.
Anyways overall great piece good work and hope you make more. =]
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Ok its alright
Its got a awsome base but it sorta repeats itself......but thats just one thing and its awsome. Keep it going!!!
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Its alright
I liked how the beginning started out, but the rest, I don't know about. It was still pretty good.
Rated 5 / 5 stars

The Challenge
Migration has been and always will be a fact of life; we have to ensure that it is also a safe process that does not negatively impact the health of migrants and host communities. Population mobility influences, guides and supports economic and social development, social stability, and the greater integration of global processes in countries of origin, transit, destination and return. The healthier migrants are, the more efficient and balanced the future of our integrated and globalized world will be.

Sarajevo, Bosnia-Hercegovina | | Friday 3/6/2015 - 14:03 GMT
Two days of blizzards and strong winds in Bosnia and Croatia caused havoc along the Adriatic coast, leaving thousands of homes without power, disrupting traffic and killing a motorist, officials said Friday.
The motorist died near Zepce in northern Bosnia after crashing into a pile of rubble and mud swept onto the road by a landslide, police said.
Storms blacked out some 100 villages in central and southern Bosnia, where dozens of roads were closed off, rescue-workers said.

Question about Japanese Peony
I'm usually not at this site but I do have alot of Peonies. However, I am wondering how you tell a Japanese Peony from others? Would appreciate your answers. Thanks.
If you're talking about herbaceous peonies (not tree peonies), my limited understanding is that Japanese peonies have single petals all around. I'm sure there's more to it than that.
Here's some info I found from Iowa State University:
"Garden peonies are classified into five different flower forms: single, semi-double, double, Japanese, and anemone.
Single flowered peonies have one row of petals surrounding a cluster of yellow stamens. The stamens are the "male" reproductive organs of the flower and are composed of the filament and pollen-bearing anthers.
Semi-doubles have multiple rows of petals surrounding a cluster of yellow stamens.
The stamens of the double-flowered peonies do not bear pollen and have been transformed into petal-like structures.
Japanese peonies have five or more large petals surrounding stamens that bear no pollen. The absence of pollen distinguishes the Japanese from the single flower form.
Anemones are similar to the Japanese type except the stamens are wider and more petal-like.
In addition to the five flower forms, the garden peony has two close relatives. They are the tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa) and the fern leaf peony (Paeonia tenuifolia)."
Hope this clears things up!
Now I've learned something too.

Please advise! Water softener quit working :-(
A couple of months ago we bought a house in Hudson Valley (NY) with well water. The culligan water softener quit working and I need to replace it ASAP. The water is very disgusting right now!
The main numbers:
Iron: 3ppm
Sulphur: 0.3ppm
Hardness: 15 gpg
Ph: 7.4
Occupants: 3
Bathrooms: 2.5
Culligan recommended "Sulphur Cleer" (a KDF based system?) and another local company recommended their "Evolve" system which seemed very similar.
I would strongly prefer a non-proprietary system. Super grateful for any advise!

A non-proprietary system has advantages in lower cost and readily available tech info and parts.
Check the Yellow Pages for independent water treatment companies. They will have ads without a brand name product and sell industry standard water treatment hardware.
Living on a well and getting the water quality you like and water that is safe is more complicated, more work, and more costly than living on a water system... no question about it.
You have high hardness and a softener is required to deal with that. You have high iron and that requires another piece of hardware. All that costs money but $3500 is... well, ridiculous.
It's not like you're in the middle of nowhere. Keep calling around until someone you call recognizes the words Fleck or Autotrol or Clack.
Come back with the specifics a dealer recommends.
I finally got 3 companies to return my calls:
Company #1:
"Charger Iron Breaker (http://www.chargerwater.com/content/how-ironbreaker-iii-works)" to treat the Iron & Sulphur (uses air + filter): $1400, plus a softener: $900
Company #2:
Greensand based system for the the Iron & Sulphur: $1400, plus a softener: $900
Company #3:
Option 1: Use a KDF based system for everything: $2600
Option 2: Chlorine backwash machine for Iron & Sulphur: $1600, plus a softener
Company #4:
Same as company #1, but more expensive.
In general a water treatment company that quotes a treatment solution without a site inspection and water test is less than professional regardless of the information that the homeowner provides. That's how things get done wrong and misunderstandings happen.
That said...
The Pro WS1 softener that company #1 offers is first rate and $900 is a very good price for a local company installed.
Rule out #4 on cost alone unless they are including labor that is extra with the other companies.
You haven't given any details on #2 or #3 so no opinion there.

What is the extent of potentially avoidable admissions amongst hospital inpatients with palliative care needs?

BMC Palliative Care 2013, 12:9 doi:10.1186/1472-684X-12-9Published: 18 February 2013
There is clear evidence that the full range of services required to support people dying at home are far from being implemented, either in England or elsewhere. No studies to date have attempted to identify the proportion of hospital admissions that could have been avoided amongst patients with palliative care needs, given existing and current local services. This study aimed to examine the extent of potentially avoidable admissions amongst hospital patients with palliative care needs.
A cross sectional survey of palliative care needs was undertaken in two acute hospitals in England. Appropriateness of admission was assessed by two Palliative Medicine Consultants using the following data collected from case notes: reasons for admission; diagnosis and co-morbidities; age and living arrangements; time and route of admission; medical and nursing plan on admission; specialist palliative care involvement; and evidence of cognitive impairment.
A total of 1359 inpatients were present in the two hospitals at the time of the census. Of the 654 consenting patients/consultees, complete case note data were collected for 580 patients; the analysis in this paper relates to these 580 patients. Amongst 208 patients meeting diagnostic and prognostic criteria for palliative care need in two acute settings in England, only 6.7% were identified as 'potentially avoidable' hospitalisations. These patients had a median age of 84. Half of the patients lived in residential or nursing homes and it was concluded that most could have received care in this setting in place of hospital.
Our findings challenge assumptions that, within the existing configuration of palliative and end of life health and social care services, patients with palliative care needs experience a high level of potentially avoidable hospitalisations.

Bryan Eisenberg | February 7, 2014 | Comments
A look at which brands managed to capture search and meet the expectations of potential customers arriving at their landing pages, and which ones did not.
There were many aspects of Sunday's game that left people quite disappointed. Forget the game. I don't even want to comment on the persuasiveness of the Super Bowl television ads. Today, we are just going to look at how well those advertisers did at blocking and tackling the digital marketing fundamentals of capturing search and meeting the expectations of potential customers arriving at their landing pages. You may be as disappointed as I am about what marketers haven't learned in the last decade and delighted by those who have.
After the Super Bowl in 2006 we wrote about how badly GoDaddy's banned commercial failed to take account of ad continuity/scent and people's natural behaviors to marry TV and online. Their ad called for people to go to their website to find out more and it took three to four clicks to find anything related to the Super Bowl and their commercial. In 2007, GoDaddy came back and improved their landing page, even though their advertisement couldn't score like the Broncos. However, then chief executive (CEO) Bob Parsons said the following about GoDaddy's 2007 Super Bowl advertising effort:
It did, because in 2007, their landing page included the same actress on the homepage as on the ad, an image of a football if you wanted to see the ad, and the same offer as the TV commercial.
Even If the Ads Stink...
They still drive tremendous volumes of traffic to search and to advertisers' websites. How well they create the ad/landing page experience and include the ad's scent in the landing page can make all the difference in the world in winning the digital marketing game.
The Biggest Losers of the Night
Their ad can be seen here.
A search for Squarespace shows their ad on the top with a reinforcement of their TV ad message, "A better Web starts with your website." However, there is no reference to the Super Bowl ad in the pay-per-click (PPC) ad (which you will see examples of in the winners).
Their big failure, though, is that they didn't plan for the demand to their website and the website did not load up right after their commercial aired. Imagine the erosion of confidence of having someone promise a better website-hosting experience and then failing to even load.
A while later and their page finally loaded and here is what it looked like:
Not bad scent at all. Pity they just couldn't keep it up.

This is the main guard tower seen as you approach Alcatraz Island. It was built in 1934 when the penitentiary began operation. Guards climbed stairs or used catwalks to arrive at their guard posts, where they were locked down for the 8 hour shift. These duties were usually given to new Alcatraz officers. When the wind blew with the multiple storms that came in it could be quite a harrowing experience.

The New York Times article on "The Grisly Death of Cecilia Chang" of St. John's University in New York warrants my response:
First, as a former Chairman of the Subcommittee of Pacific and East Asian Affairs of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in the early 1980s, I had numerous contacts with government and private individuals who had interest in the region. I have continued to support the advancement of democracy in Taiwan and the right of the people of Taiwan to define their own identity, free from any outside influence.
The Times states that I was among more than two dozen members of Congress who had visited or given talks in Sun Yet Sen Hall. I have no recollection of giving any such talks.
In 2003 I did write a letter to Taiwan President Chen Shui Bien, urging Taiwan to continue the financial support for St. John's. The president and his wife visited Alaska while I was governor. He was in Anchorage for two days and we extended our hospitality. At no time did I discuss with President Chen financial support for the university.
The Times states that Dr. Chang had offered both Senator Murkowski and me honorary degrees. I never received such a degree.
I have no knowledge of being asked to write a letter supporting an immigration application for a Mr. Wang You-Theng and feel quite sure no such letter was written.
I can only assume that the New York Times article gathered its information from a journal of some sort, but the facts are as I have presented them. I recall visiting St. John's only twice — the first time to help my granddaughter move in to her dorm in 2004, and the second time to join with her parents at her graduation in 2008.
At no time did I participate or have any knowledge of soliciting for a scholarship at St. John's for my granddaughter.

Come enjoy a great vegetarian brunch at the excellent Adam's cafe. Update: Per Adams policy they will only allow for reservations for a max of 12 on Friday-Sunday so the max had to be changed to 12 this time. In the future Meetups will be arranged so larger groups can attend.
It was a great place to meet for our first meeting. I enjoyed hearing how everyone became vegetarian and how they have all grown since then as vegetarians.

I'm surprised by the level of growth I've seen since becoming an organizer, it's given me more confidence in my abilities.

I actually am pretty solid in my understanding of the size of the drill ill need for the shank, its 5/8 from midwest.
What I could use some advice on is stabilizing it once its going through the door, also, could someone take a look at the picture of this tap and tell me if you think Ill need to drill a larger hole for the tap to sit in the door?
thanks in advance for any and all help, the building should commence tomorrow!!
What I did to help me drill, was to buy a Uni-bit or sometimes called a step bit.
I used painters blue masking tape on the door where I was going to drill, since I was using the tape, it was easy to make marks on it. Then drill a small pilot hole, change to the step bit, and drill slowly until you get the right sized hole.
It left a nice, clean, burr free hole. Look under my profile for pics if you like.
Hope this helps.
Alright, a step bit could be a good way to go. I dont know if we have one, my parents are bringing my gear up along with the tools, so Ill ask. Its frustrating to be moved out and still not have my own full line of tools....

I have a theory as to why a lot of G Pad 8.3's are being received with "Non-Sealed" boxes...
I believe it's because they made every box with a picture of a *White* G-Pad on the box !
Even though the label does say "Black" or "White" who the Hell reads labels..
Mine was purchased Saturday during the $279.00 sale at BestBuy and the store was busy as heck.. A Samsung rep asked if he could help me, so I told him what I was waiting for.. He grabbed a key and brought up a unit in one of those "Theft-Proof" plastic cases and you could clearly see the box looked like it had already been opened, and someone Half-Assed sealed it back up.. this was visible even in through the Theft-Proof case.
I said " Dude.. first of all I said I wanted a *Black* one you can see on box it's white (the label was not visible..) and second, you can see the box is already open.. Please have someone get me a new unit in Black". Their computer said they had 2 in stock for sale.. No one could find the *Black* ones.. So the Store Mgr got involved and the search was on!
30 minutes later someone finally figured it out and actually LOOKED AT THE TABLET instead of all of us looking at the picture on the box and NOT reading the label which clearly states the color...
Me thinks, That's what Vendors are doing.. peaking in to see what color the units are and not reading the label.
I blame LG for this... you should have used a corresponding colored picture with your Tablets.
