Residents hit stores seeking after-Christmas bargains

Rex Cook and Yama Morris traveled 40 miles on Monday in search of a bargain — and they believed they got it, picking up a set of Jennifer Lopez bath towels at Kohl's in the Berkshire Oaks shopping center, and saving $50 in the process.

The Ocala Kohl's was just one of many local retailers hoping to snag some after-Christmas business by offering huge price reductions on its inventory.
The store's advertised post-holiday "blitz" promised customers up to 70 percent off many items.
"It's better deals," Cook explained as the Gainesville resident was leaving Kohl's en route to shop for furniture in Ocala. "I waited for the deals."
And bargains were to be had in many spots along State Road 200, one of the city's main commercial arteries.
Some items were discounted as much as 80 percent as retailers tried to clear the shelves.
And it seemed everything was worthy of consideration.
Angry Birds T-shirts, coffee pots and, despite the balmy winter weather of late, even heavy coats and scarves got a second look from some department store customers.
Inside Belk's in the Paddock Mall, a pair of Ocala winter residents from Canada studied some luggage that had been discounted 75 percent. They were preparing for an end-of-year Caribbean cruise, but like many customers, they said they weren't after any particular thing, but would not hesitate to pick up something if the price was right.
That was the attitude of Nancy and Tom Gouza of Ocala.
They emerged from J.C. Penney in the mall with some rugs for their kitchen.
Nancy Gouza said the rugs were not a gift and that they could have purchased them before Christmas. But they opted to hold out.
"We were going to come when they had the good sales," she said.
While not as large or frenzied as the Black Friday or Christmas Eve crowds, foot traffic was steady and brisk at many of the bigger stores. Lines, even for returns, were modestly populated, running only a few people deep.
And although now cast into history, Christmas 2011 was kept alive for shoppers in other ways.
Christmas carols blared from the speakers inside Paddock Mall.
The Zale's jewelry store at the mall tried a novel approach, with a sale encouraging customers to "bling in the new year."
One of the more congested spots in town was the Christmas goods section in the northeast corner of the Easy Street Wal-Mart in Ocala.
Shoppers politely excused themselves past each other in surveying the half-price discount on everything from Christmas cards and ornaments to marshmallow Santas.
And many exited the store prepared a year in advance, carting out rolls of wrapping paper, bags of novelty items and even an occasional artificial tree.
But it wasn't just the local behemoths of American commerce that were benefiting from the rush.
The operator of the seasonal Hickory Farms kiosk inside Paddock Mall predicted that her stock of sausages and cheeses would be depleted Monday as the pre-Christmas momentum carried over.
Another seasonal seller at Paddock Mall, the Calendar Club, which until mid-January will offer themed 2012 calendars and board games, had also slashed prices by 50 percent — and reported good results, as people sought to track the next year by picking up calendars featuring Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga or their favorite TV show.
An employee, who asked not to be identified, said business had been solid leading up to Christmas and remained so on Monday. One benefit, he said, was timing, since Christmas fell on Sunday.
Overall, though, this Christmas season had been favorable, he added.
"There seemed to be a lot of anxiety about the economy," he said, "but all the vendors I spoke to seemed to do pretty well."
Not everyone who went hunting for a deal found one — at least right away.
A self-described "impulse" shopper outside the crowded Best Buy electronics store said she wanted a new big-screen television but left empty-handed when the prices didn't appear to be much of a bargain. She felt she could get a better deal at Sam's Club.
Nationally, retailers were expecting a bright day on Monday, which was a federally recognized holiday.
Time magazine reported that the research firm ShopperTrak had estimated that foot traffic in stores on Monday would run 60 percent above Dec. 26, 2010.
Time also cited a survey conducted by American Express, which found that 57 percent of Americans said they intended to shop on Monday, compared with only 43 percent for the day after Christmas 2010.
One reason, the magazine explained, was the boom in gift-card giving. More than 20 percent of shoppers would be redeeming gift cards after Christmas, Time reported.
Yet while certain segments of the economy have shown signs of picking up — for example, jobless claims are at a three-year low while consumer optimism is at a six-month peak — many customers wanted to wait to see what deals could be found after Christmas, primarily because they didn't have the money.
USA Today recently reported that 6 percent of people planned to delay Christmas shopping until January.
That led to a pre-emptive strike by some sellers.
The New York Times noted last week that some businesses made the typical, heavy post-Christmas discounts available before the holiday.
"The inventory is worth so much less in two weeks," one unidentified CEO told the paper. "With that kind of inventory, you've got to get rid of it. Whatever the margin is today, it's that much lower next week and the week after when traffic stops."
That's what Cook of Gainesville was hoping when he came to Ocala on Monday.
"It makes sense to tell people 'I'm going to get your gift the day after Christmas,' " Cook said. "They have to get rid of it."

Question about posting
How many of you post via your mobile phone? And do you have problems with it?
I use Firefox on my phone. For some reason, I can't post on the boards. No problems on Facebook. Sometimes it will let me get a few words in, like my test last night. I tried to reply to another thread, got about 20 or 25 characters typed and all of a sudden it just quit ...I thought maybe I can only type so many characters (say, limit of 120 letters/spaces?), but I don't think that is the case. Once in a while, I can get a post typed out, but it won't go through when I hit "submit". Very frustrating, that's pretty much the reason I upgraded my phone.
Have you had the same problem with the other browsers? What about the stock browser that came with the phone?
I also like dolphin hd browser and opera mini.
Let me know what happens when you use another one.
I don't have that problem at all.
What phone?
Obviously, I managed to post that one short reply last night. Then, nada. I'm on a Samsung Stratosphere 4G. I got to exactly 58 characters (in Internet Explorer) on my second attempt last night and it just stopped (no further letters would type out ...)
Okay you lost me. I find that your phone shows as running android, you said you were using Internet Explorer, but IE is not available for use on android. IE is a windows program.
What browser are you actually using?
Here's the link to dolphin browser at google play store, go there with your phones current browser and select to install dolphin, you don't have to select a default it will give you the option of which browser to use when ever you need one.
Use dolphin see what happens.
Have you used android before?
Here is a link that might be useful: Dolphin
Fingers are too big for the virtual screen keyboard. How can I tell what the default browser is? Looks just like the IE icon to me? (World Globe)
Default with Android is usually webkit browser, it is just a blue globe but no IE on it, not possible to have IE on Android.
Just try the virtual keyboard to see if you have the same results. That will help narrow down what could be happening.

Big Mac Benchmark Drops to 7.4 TFlops 417
from the number-adjusting dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Yes, but doesn't Moore's Law and the commodification of computer hardware suggest that each new generation supercomputer will have the best price/performance ratio?
Target the G5 at the consumer market. Target the G5-W at the engineering/high-performance market.
Amazingly, thanks to Apple, the PowerPC architecture has the best chance of capturing a sizeable share of the workstation market, obliterating any remaining UltraSPARC workstations. Apple has a damned good chance if only Steve Jobs doesn't blow it.
KASY0 achieved 187.3 GFLOPS on the 64-bit floating point version of HPL, the same benchmark used on "Big Mac". While "Big Mac" is about 40 times faster on that benchmark, it is about 130 times the cost of KASY0 (~$40K vs ~$5200K). Considering the size difference, "Big Mac" is VERY impressive, but it can't claim to be the best price/performance supercomputer on the HPL benchmark.
Note: KASY0 gets 482.6 GFLOPS (0.48 TFLOPS) on a 32-bit precision version of Linpack, satisfying our under $100 per GFLOPS claim [aggregate.org].
Regardless, Virginia Tech's "Big Mac" is a very impressive machine. My congratulations to them!

- When I ordered this 5mm 950 Platinum Comfort Fit Wedding Band on Dec 30 the website said it was in stock and would ship 2nd day air the next day however I did not receive it until Monday, Jan 12.Upon receipt the ring arrived in a nice box and looked good. However the fit is quite loose. I will have to have it adjusted. Also, more importantly, the weight is off by 0.5 grams. The description on the website stated that the weight would be 9.3 grams but it is only 8.8 grams. Since I calculated that the cost and hassle of return shipping would be more than the price of the missing metal (~$20) I did not request a return. I wouldn't like to think that Sarraf's counts on this for every purchase and intentionally slightly shorts each purchase but...all the reviews I read of Sarraf said to weigh your purchases and that they would be light. They were right. Shop with caution.Written by cindy_jordan on January 19, 2015

The chain is awesome and the quality is super. It weighs 2 grams more then was quoted too at 103.5 grams. Love it. And I asked Kamaran of Sarraf.com what manufacturer made this chain that has a hallmark stamp of a pointy circle (or could be a star) with a Capital A in it and he answered that they made it. Awesome once again. Will be back again as I have many times before over the years! Kudos to Sarraf.com!Written by mwd1957 on July 24, 2014

Dallas firm uses solar to power West Texas oil rigs
- Nicholas Sakelaris, Dallas Business Journal
The sun can be harsh in West Texas but one Dallas entrepreneur is putting those rays to work powering oil wells.
Mark Smith has developed an off-the-grid solar power generator that provides industrial-strength power 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The president and founder of Dallas-based Seldon Energy said this technology, which is still in the pilot phase, in many cases can replace more costly and unreliable diesel or natural gas powered engines at remote locations where electric utility service is unavailable.
Read more about Seldon's efforts at the Dallas Business Journal.

Hillary Clinton's Presidential Chances Are in JeopardyAshley in 2014
Hillary in 2016
Republican suicides hit record highs in 2017
None of this closes the circle on Benghazi. None of it explains the wholly inadequate security or the dismal watch-while-Americans-die performance of her agency that night. And none delivers on her promise to find out how to prevent this from happening again. She's lucky no member in either session subjected her to the grilling this incident surely deserves.
What we have now is a hapless filmmaker in jail for a year on trumped up charges. We have Hillary exiting the public stage to plot her return in two years as, according to all her friends in the media, the odds-on favorite to succeed Obama. And we have a lot of questions about how four loyal Americans lost their lives.
Those questions should have been answered Wednesdayas far from the 2016 election as possible. Now, if Republicans have any clue how to winwhich is debatablethose questions will be answered in the crucible of a campaign. The spin for today, that her legacy at State remains largely intact, is mostly correct. But her chances at becoming president could still take a hit.
Not so fast, Ashley Judd: Clinton may have someone else in mind
Sorry, Ashley JuddBubba does not have your back.
While the actress is reportedly mulling a run for Senate against Mitch McConnell in Kentucky, a number of Democratsincluding Bill and Hillary Clintonbelieve Judd may be too liberal to win the state.
According to Politico, the former president is encouraging Kentuckys Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes to run next year. He recently took her aside and reportedly argued that a Senate seat would be a bigger platform and more important job than running for the House or even governor.
EVEN "killary" doesn't support her[jiggs judd]...

Craftsman remot problem
I have craftsman opener model #139.536745SRT2.standard control console.With 2 remotes.I can only program one remote to work.I reset system by holding in learn button.until system resets.I can then program one remote to work, but cannot program second remote.when I push large button on second remote I get no response on opener unit.I can reset system and get either remote to work alone but can not ever program second remote.They were working until I reset system when trying to get outside cypher lock to work.Any ideas?
I think one of your remotes has reverted to an earlier technology and they will no longer work with each other. One of them should work with the wireless keypad and the other will not. If this is the case you need to replace the one that will not. Make sure you get the same model or you may run up against this again.

When working with prices in C#, you should always work with the 'decimal' type. Working with the 'Double' type can lead to a variety of rounding errors when doing calculations with them, and is more intended for mathematical equations.
(I don't want to go into details about what problems this can cause exactly, but you can read more about it here :
http://pagehalffull.wordpress.com/2012/10/30/rounding-doubles-in-c/ )
I am currently working on a project that involves commerce and prices, so naturally I used 'decimal' for all price types. Then I headed to my db, which in my case is mongodb, and the problem arose. MongoDB doesn't support 'decimal'!! It only supports the double type.
Since I rather avoid saving it as a double for reasons stated above, I had to think of a better solution. I decided to save all the prices in the db as Int32 saving the prices in 'cents'.
This means I just need to multiply the values by 100 when inserting to the db, and dividing by 100 when retrieving. This should never cause any rounding problems, and is pretty much straight-forward. I even don't need to worry about sorting, or any other query for that matter.
But... I don't want ugly code doing all these conversions from cents to dollars in every place...
I'm using the standard C# mongo db driver (https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-csharp-driver), which gives me the ability to write a custom serializer for a specific field. This is a great solution, since it's the lowest level part of the code that deals with the db, and that means all my entities will be using 'decimal' everywhere.
This is the code for the serializer :
public class MongoDbMoneyFieldSerializer : IBsonSerializer
public object Deserialize(BsonReader bsonReader, Type nominalType, IBsonSerializationOptions options)
var dbData = bsonReader.ReadInt32();
return (decimal)dbData / (decimal)100;
public object Deserialize(BsonReader bsonReader, Type nominalType, Type actualType, IBsonSerializationOptions options)
var dbData = bsonReader.ReadInt32();
return (decimal)dbData / (decimal)100;
public IBsonSerializationOptions GetDefaultSerializationOptions()
return new DocumentSerializationOptions();
public void Serialize(BsonWriter bsonWriter, Type nominalType, object value, IBsonSerializationOptions options)
var realValue = (decimal) value;
bsonWriter.WriteInt32(Convert.ToInt32(realValue * 100));
And then all you need to do is add the custom serializer to the fields which are prices, like this:
public class Product
public string Title{ get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public decimal Price { get; set; }
public decimal MemberPrice { get; set; }
public int Quantity { get; set; }
That's all there is to it.

BsonSerializer.RegisterSerializer(typeof(Decimal), new MongoDbMoneyFieldSerializer());

Latest International AIDS Vaccine Initiative Stories
NEW YORK, April 24, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Scientists from The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) and the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) have discovered a new vulnerable site
ReportsnReports.com adds "HIV Vaccine Market Opportunity & Clinical Pipeline Analysis" reports to its vast collection of research databases. Dallas,
The feat bolsters rational vaccine design approach that could also be applied to other challenging viruses including HIV and influenza LA JOLLA, Calif., Feb.
Designing an effective HIV/AIDS vaccine is something of a paradox: a good vaccine would be safe and look enough like HIV to kick-start the immune system into neutralizing the virus – but the problem is that this is exactly what the human immune system has trouble doing even when it's exposed to the real thing.

I enjoyed my time at Jennifer's cosy apartment immensely. It offers anything you need for a pleasant stay and the area reminded me very much of my own in Berlin (Kreuzberg), young people, vintage stores, cafes, bars etc. Therefore I was very lucky I found this place and Jennifer was a lovely hostess. Highly recommended!
Staying at Jennifer's apartment was exceptional. She has been very accommadating and kind from the beginning and responded to all my special requests quickly. The apartment is lovely, clean and has everything one needs for a stay in Madrid. It's conveniently located between 2 metro stops in the most vibrant areas of Madrid. I loved that neighbourhood with it's design shops, small bakeries, bars and cute restaurants. Highly recommended apartment, hostess and area!!!
Great apartment, very nice and comfortable, and located in a very lively part of town. Jennifer was very nice as well. Highly recommended!
The studio apartment was in excellent condition, very clean and very pleasant. Everything that was listed was provided for, dishes, pots & pans. The washer worked well and was mush appreciated.
The apartment was centrally located, near subway and restruants, grocery store.
Jennifer was easy to connect with. I would rent another apartment with Jennifer.
I enjoyed my stay in trendy malasaña. I couldn´t figure out the internet, Jennifer responded quickly to my email about it, trying to help, but that was the only issue during my stay.
Beware. This lady will blame you for any and all things that are not your responsibility. Think twice before leaving a deposit.
Great location. Apartment was clean, comfortable and in a nice building. Jennifer responded quickly to emails and made it easy for us to stay there. The only issue was the wifi which was not what we expected. Would stay here again.
Conveniently located in one of the most bustling neighbourhoods in Madrid.
We had a really good time and would not mind to repeat the experience. Thank you J!
Jennifer and her partner were terrific . Everything went really well, they treated the apartment like home, and left it in perfect condition. Great communication beforehand, and I will be happy to have them back anytime .
I've stayed in Jennifer's apartment before and it is really bright, quiet and comfortable, located in the coolest neighborhood of the center - you can walk everywhere. Jennifer is the kindest person I know, and makes a great host since she has spent so many years in Madrid working in the hospitality industry. If you get to stay at her place, you will be very satisfied!

Wedding Trivia:WEDDING AS A TERMAlthough some brides were kidnapped, marriage by purchase was the preferred method of obtaining a wife. The "bride price" could be land, social status, political alliances, or cash. The Anglo-Saxon word "wed" meant that the groom would vow to marry the woman, but it also referred to the bride price (money or barter) to be paid by the groom to the bride's father. The root of the word "wedding" literally means to gamble or wager!

text: I am retired and spending as much time as possible hiking in beautiful Oregon. My dog Fanny (who often travels with me) is a great hiking buddy. I'm taking Italian lessons and looking forward to a second trip to Italy as well as doing more traveling in the U.S. Reading, yoga, concerts and movies are other ways I like to spend my time. I don't smoke and I'm not into drama. Family, friends, my dog, hiking and coffee are 5 things I can't do without. Out of the way trails, live music, fine art and good books are what I don't want to live without. 'The Years of Rice and Salt' as well as anything by Terry Pratchett or Connie Willis are some of my favorite books. I am very adaptable as a guest. My life motto is "This too shall pass". It helps me deal with unpleasant things with a certain equanimity and stop and pay attention to small pleasures. I look forward to meeting new people and discovering new places.

Tru-Gold peach
This peach grows true from seed. After seeing some mentions of that I did some google work and found the patent info on it at the time, and that is correct.
A friend has this tree and when I tried peaches right off the tree I thought they were just OK. however a day on the counter and I rated them much higher.
Here is my question, with another tree like 50-75' away what are the chances of the tree being pollinated by itself vs the neighboring tree? Or in other words the odds of the seeds being true Tru-gold? and in general what do others think of this peach?
Tomatoes can be cross pollinated, but many times the flower is fertilized by itself before it even opens. A similar process may be going on with this peach. So even if bees bring pollen over, it doesn't matter embryo is already started.Tomatoes and peppers do not need bees at all.
Here is the info I found on it.
this is an excerpt from the link underneath: 1) Release of 'TruGold' peach. Peach trees are currently propagated on rootstocks. This is a labor intensive and expensive process. We have developed a peach that comes true from seed and therefore does not require a rootstock. 'TruGold' peach is a high quality dessert peach that is productive and late blooming to avoid spring frosts. It represents a new technology for nursery production of peach varieties. 'TruGold' is currently licensed for sale by a commercial nursery. This aligns with National Program 301 (Plant Genetic Resources, Genomics, and Genetic Improvement), Component 3: Genetic Improvement of Crops, Problem Statement

Victor Oladipo hits the game-winner at Orlando Summer League (VIDEO)
Jul 12, 2013, 12:01 AM EDT
The consistent ability to knock down a jumper against a defender was one of the areas cited that Victor Oladipo would need to improve upon as he enters his first NBA season with the Magic. It looked pretty good with the game on the line Thursday at Summer League, when Oladipo stepped back and buried…

Kendall Marshall looking to prove he belongs during Summer League with Suns
Jul 10, 2013, 10:26 PM EDT
PHOENIX — Kendall Marshall was selected by the Suns with the 13th overall pick in last summer's draft, but a chance to take the reigns as the team's starting point guard has been far from guaranteed due to a combination of his need to develop, along with the constant personnel additions the team has made…
Report: Mavericks to target Samuel Dalembert now that Andrew Bynum has signed with Cavaliers
Jul 10, 2013, 9:16 PM EDT
Wednesday began with such promise in Dallas, but ultimately ended in some level of disappointment. The Mavericks began the day meeting with free agent big man Andrew Bynum.

Lakers had the highest luxury tax bill last season, followed by these five teams
Jul 10, 2013, 8:00 AM EDT
It is theoretically possible to buy the talent necessary to win a championship in the NBA, but especially since the terms of the new collective bargaining agreement went into effect, it would come at a very substantial cost. We'll get to that in a moment. For now, let's look at the teams who were served…
Steve Nash says what we all knew, that Dwight Howard didn't want to be with the Lakers
Jul 9, 2013, 11:39 PM EDT
As became evident by the fact that Dwight Howard chose to sign with the Houston Rockets in free agency, he simply didn't want to play in Los Angeles for the Lakers. This was true even last season, however, while Howard was still on the team and was theoretically trying to make the best of a…

We make sure to qualify all accomplishments by players at this time of year with stating the simple fact that "hey, it's just Summer League." But anytime a player does what the Thunder's Reggie Jackson did in a game played at the professional level, it's seriously fun to watch, no matter the competition it came…
Rockets fined $150K for publicly commenting on Dwight Howard deal during league's moratorium period
Jul 9, 2013, 6:25 PM EDT
There's a reason you haven't seen a press conference with Dwight Howard holding up a Houston Rockets jersey, or similar events involving Josh Smith in Detroit or Eric Bledsoe in Phoenix.

Jul 9, 2013, 8:00 AM EDT
Bradley Beal was shut down by the Wizards in April after suffering a stress injury to his right fibula, and although no fracture has been detected, he's still experiencing enough discomfort to where the team isn't going to allow him to push the issue this summer. Beal would have been on Washington's Summer League squad,…
Andrew Bynum receives two-year, $24 million offer from the Cavaliers
Jul 9, 2013, 12:13 AM EDT
One of the more intriguing things yet to be determined in free agency is how the market is going to value Andrew Bynum. When healthy, Bynum is one of the game's best at his position, an All-Star caliber player who can pay immediate dividends for his team at both ends of the floor. But after…
Victor Oladipo plays well in Summer League debut with the Magic (VIDEO)
Jul 8, 2013, 12:30 AM EDT
Victor Oladipo was the second overall pick in this year's draft, and looked every bit the part during his Summer League debut for the Magic.

Report: Lakers, Chris Kaman express mutual interest
Jul 7, 2013, 9:30 PM EDT
The Lakers have seen Dwight Howard and Earl Clark both leave in free agency, which means they're in need of some reliable big man help to fill out their roster for next season. It appears that veteran seven-footer Chris Kaman may be an option. From Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports: As Dwight Howard leaves Los Angeles,…
Clippers agree to one-year deal with Ryan Hollins
Jul 7, 2013, 3:30 PM EDT
The Clippers have had a very successful offseason. They've signed Chris Paul to a max contract, re-signed Matt Barnes, traded for Jared Dudley and J.J. Redick to get help on the wing and some solid perimeter shooting, and replaced Eric Bledsoe with Darren Collison as a backup to Paul at a very reasonable price. They can't…
Rockets agree to two-year deal with Francisco Garcia
Jul 7, 2013, 2:00 PM EDT
Francisco Garcia was essentially a throw-in as part of the deal made at the trade deadline that sent Thomas Robinson from the Kings to the Rockets. Garcia was looked at as not much more than an expiring contract, because he had a team option for next season for $6.5 million that was out of line…

Rockets GM Daryl Morey discusses factors that helped Houston land Dwight Howard (VIDEO)
Jul 7, 2013, 8:00 AM EDT
There were seemingly legitimate basketball reasons for Dwight Howard to choose the Rockets in free agency over everyone else. The easy ones to point to that made the case against the Lakers were the age of Steve Nash, the questionable health of Kobe Bryant, and the fact that Howard never believed that the system run…

Party terms decision of the UPA Government injustice to OBCs
The Bharatiya Janata Party on Friday warned the Centre of launching a public movement if it did not drop its proposal to carve out a 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities from the 27 per cent quota for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in Central government jobs and educational institutions.
A public meeting of prominent leaders of all the backward class communities organised by the party's Backward Classes' Morcha expressed concern over the decision since it would reduce their reservation quota. Terming this as an injustice to OBCs, the morcha declared that it would take its fight to the President and that the party would not rest till justice was done.
BJP State unit president K.S. Eshwarappa said the party would launch an agitation in every village against the UPA's decision to reduce the OBC reservation quota. It would also organise a massive public meeting in April in Bangalore.
Stir threat
Pointing out that the UPA was planning to introduce a Bill in Parliament regarding the proposed reservation, Mr. Eshwarappa remarked: "There will be a rebellion in every street if that happens."
He said the party would present a memorandum to the Centre through Governor H.R. Bhardwaj in about a week appealing for withdrawal of the decision. Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda described the public meeting of OBCs as a warning bell to the UPA Government.
Party national general secretary in-charge of Karnataka affairs Dharmendra Pradhan made it clear that the party was not against welfare of minorities, but it should not be at the cost of OBCs.
Speaking on the occasion, the former Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa predicted an early election to the Lok Sabha.
He urged the party to strive for winning at least 23 of the 28 seats in the State to help the NDA to form its government at the Centre.
Party national general secretary Ananth Kumar asked the party workers to burn the copies of the orders on reducing the OBC reservation quota in all the prominent circles of the State to send a strong message to the Centre.
Morcha president P.C. Mohan spoke. Several Ministers, including R. Ashok, Suresh Kumar, Jagadish Shettar and Govind Karjol, attended the meeting.

In First Stage's 'Crash,' a football player learns how to hug
Recalling young actor Seth Horne from past First Stage shows, what stands out is a seemingly incorruptible innocence, inscribed in a sensitive, open face that reflects an unabashed enthusiasm for life. In a memorable show like "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," for example, Horne's projection of Charlie's fundamental, rock-solid goodness stood in stark contrast to the bratty kids accompanying Charlie on tour.
But kids grow up, often losing their sense of magic along the way; many of them become bullies. In the First Stage production of "Crash," that's the rocky road being traveled by seventh-grader John "Crash" Coogan — convincingly played by Horne, in the Defense Cast of alternating young actors I saw Saturday night. »Read Full Article
Lady Antebellum connects with fans, not feelings, at State Fair
Lady Antebellum is probably the biggest country-pop group of the last decade, primarily because it has a knack for locating the universal. Or for dressing up the lowest common denominator to look, feel and sound like the universal.
The distinction didn't make a difference to the packed crowd attending the group's show at the Wisconsin State Fair Main Stage Saturday night. »Read Full Article(14)

949 Park Avenue
Upper East Side
Park Avenue is one of Manhattan's most famous streets, and 949 Park Avenue brings together the tradition you would expect from such an iconic location and blends it with modern style.
With an all-glass/limestone façade, 949 Park Avenue really does stand out from its illustrious neighbors. As a result, it is one of the more modern and unique buildings on the Upper East Side.
As for the apartments themselves, you will not be left disappointed. High ceilings with large windows allow for a huge amount of natural light. The already wide spaces are left to feel even wider, ensuring you have a clean, refreshing space within which to live. All the classic comforts of Park Avenue are here, but a modern finish has been applied.
The kitchens have the very latest models of appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, SMEG appliances, and a Bosch washer/dryer. Bathrooms are adorned with marble and chrome accents, and each apartment has its own private balcony from which to enjoy the views while relaxing.
As far as amenities go, there is a 24-hour doorman with concierge service. The other amenity is the great location, which more than makes up for the lack of a private fitness center. Museum Mile is just around the corner, as is Central Park. If you want to venture further afield, the subway is just a short walk away.

It's impossible to move anywhere when off the ground unless you are buckled in to a safety line. There are age limits on how high into the trees you can... More

This was my first time doing any activity of this sort and I can't believe I waited so long. I am rapidly approaching 60 years old (3 months away) and I was so happy to be able to do something that did not tax me too much physically but lovely surroundings and I always felt very safe and secure in...

I took my 10 year old granddaughter to Adventure Park in Sandy Spring, MD, two days in a row because she loved it so much! She - and I - climbed the trees in Monkey Grove one day, and we both climbed the Labyrinth the second day. (I need to say that she had already climbed in the trees of... More
We came here with our 6 and 9 year olds. I wasn't sure if the 6 year old would be able to handle it (spoiler alert: he did and loved it) The (young but well-trained) staff helped us into our gear, including selecting from a vat of climbing gloves. Those of the faint of heart might want to bring their... More

ornamental tree for Hunterdon county
I would like to buy an ornamental tree as a housewarming gift for a friend in N.J. I live in Michigan and am hoping to get some recommendations from people in her area. Multi season interest and pest and disease resistent would be great. Her front yard has a southeast exposure.
Thanks for your help.
"Forest Pansy" redbud - however, some contend there are pest issues here;
"Prairie Fire" crabapple
What color is her house? Honestly.
I like Forest Pansy Redbud but it is brittle and susceptible to branch breakage. It is as beautiful an ornamental tree that you'll find.
If the house isn't white, I'd also suggest Styrax Japonica (Japanese Snowbell) which is very durable and flowers in June.
Either way, a very nice thought of you to buy a tree as a housewarming gift.
How about a japanese maple? There are many different cultivars and depending on the variety it could have 4 season interest. There are variegated leaf types, colored bark, lace leaf dissected types, mounded or upright, green or red leafed types etc. They usually are small trees but some can grow to 15' plus but some are dwarfs growing to no more than 3' tall. Do a google search on japanese maples-some of the online nurseries have very good photos and description of the different trees. Good luck.
Hey Janice here are a couple of ideas for your tree. Try Oxydendrum arboretum - Sourwood tree or Lagerstroemia indica - Crepe Myrtle or my favorite Franklinia altahama- Franklinia tree. Or see what your friend might like & send a gift check, or call the local nursery & have it delivered.
Hope this helps. Frank
I'd be leery of planting a Franklinia Altmaha on an exposed hillside in Hunterdon Co.( and more than likely it is an exposed property). They're extremely 'prone' to winter wind damage. Remember, this is a tree that was found in Georgia. Zone 6 is a "reach" in my estimation.
My specimen of 6 years is in a very favored southwest exposure and is protected from the north & east with a stockade fence. The other one that I've planted in Colts Neck has similar exposure and attendant protection.
They're extremely 'slow growers'. I think that the poster can do far better with a larger specimen that the owner would appreciate over time.
