I began writing out of absolute desperation. Stuck in a cookie-cutter suburban subdivision with only toddlers and Thomas the Tank Engine to talk to, I began scribbling; filling my books with mayhem and mirth.
Soon, feisty heroines, hunky heroes and assorted wacky relatives, friends and dogs began populating my imaginary worlds and finding their way onto publishers' desks. I stole early morning quiet hours to write before the kids and work could interrupt. I baked chocolate chip cookies in the afternoons, invited a crowd of kids over to play and wrote at the kitchen table while the chaos swirled all around me.
Now the boys are getting older and I write to avoid dealing with the reality of adolescence… you know… teenaged drivers, eye rolling, phrases like 'Whatever!' and 'I'll do it in a minute!'
I live in North Carolina with my two boys, a large mutt named Bailey, a miniature schnauzer named Maggie who rules the roost, and a very confused bunny rabbit who seems to think she's a squirrel. If I had spare time, my cottage garden wouldn't look like the horticultural equivalent of Girls Gone Wild, my funky, retro house would be halfway clean, and my paperwork would be all caught up. However, we all need something to aspire to, and a clean house is apparently not on my list of lifetime goals.

Before the Nixon presidency, the U.S. dollar was backed by gold or silver. A bill was worth a certain amount of either gold or silver. Then Nixon changed all that and ended the gold standard making it so that the dollar could not be exchanged for gold. So what happened to all the gold and silver that was being stored by those banks? Did they just get free wealth? Any information about this would be greatly appreciated thank you.

Nah it's just in some rich people's bank vaults.

The Man In The Dead Machine Poem by Donald Hall
High on a slope in New Guinea
The Grumman Hellcat
lodges among bright vines
as thick as arms. In 1943,
the clenched hand of a pilot
glided it here
where no one has ever been.
In the cockpit, the helmeted
skeleton sits
upright, held
by dry sinews at neck
and shoulder, and webbing
that straps the pelvic cross
to the cracked
leather of the seat, and the breastbone
to the canvas cover
of the parachute.
Or say the shrapnel
missed him, he flew
back to the carrier, and every
morning takes the train, his pale
hands on the black case, and sits
upright, held
by the firm webbing.

Waste: Transparency International has named Venezuela the most corrupt nation in the hemisphere, matching Haiti and besting the likes of Paraguay and Nicaragua. With a $1 trillion oil windfall, that's lots of graft.
Venezuela's Hugo Chavez ushered in the era of high oil prices in 1998, slashing output and earning the country a cool $1.125 trillion windfall as oil prices shot from $9 a barrel to more than $100.
That's bizarre, given that Venezuela remains a crime-ridden hellhole, whose vast slums and impoverished people offer not a scintilla of evidence of any spreading prosperity. Other countries, even lousy ones such as Ecuador, have spiffed up their cities using oil revenue.
Not Chavez's Bolivarian government. Despite claims to have spent $300 billion on social programs, it offers citizens only more poverty.
That raises questions about just where the money went, and the Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index, which ranked Venezuela at 165 out of 176 countries this week, offers useful clues.
TI reports that bribery, embezzlement, patronage, nepotism, conflict of interest and procurement padding in the public sector are the big sources of corruption.
All of these are crimes committed in the dark, the antithesis of transparency, and Chavez has expanded the public sector more than 25% during his regime.
No wonder so many billions are missing.
Venezuela's budget is secret, its oil earnings are secret, its electoral mechanisms are secret, and its media are largely under government control. Whistle-blowers are hit with draconian punishments. As for the health of the president, who apparently is dying of cancer — well, that's a secret, too.
Meanwhile, a U.K. nongovernment organization, Tax Justice Network, reported that about $400 billion in Venezuelan capital has fled to offshore banks.
No doubt, much of that is oil money, given the lack of any significant economic activity in the country.
Venezuelan oil expert Gustavo Coronel points out that some 1,500 government-linked bankers and government elites have managed to take at least $95 billion of the windfall, while the government has squandered billions more on arms purchases, "free" oil to Cuba, imports of food and now refined oil, and waste associated with newly nationalized state-owned industries.
The lesson here is that large amounts of cash don't create wealth in the hands of strongmen; they create only corruption.Venezuela's descent to rock bottom on TI's rankings is evidence of this massive downward spiral.

I have a utility class with a static function that utilizes a global variable:
private static function isRateLimited($ip) {
global $memcached_node;
$memcache = new Memcache;
$memcache->connect($memcached_node['host'], $memcached_node['port']) or die ("memcache failure");
// do stuff
The global variable is set up via a chef cookbook. Everything has been working well within the application until a recent change. The change tweaked code execution so that
isRateLimited() is called twice during a single web request.
Debugging has revealed that, the first time
isRateLimited() is called, the global variable is set and everything work as expected. However, the second time
isRateLimited() is called, the global variable returns an empty value (as tested with
empty()). The result is that the second connection to memcached fails.
The global is not overwritten or unset anywhere else in the code. Why does the global variable lose its value between executions of the function in the same web request?
For reference, I tried referring to the global using
$memcached_node = $GLOBALS["memcached_node"]; as one of my "last ditch effort" darts. The behavior was the same.

Thanks for the feedback! It's actually quite useful...
@mulme944 I'm just not a fan of the Su sound... can't explain it, really. It's interesting that you say Soren goes better with the surname. I'm a bit worried about the repetitive long O in Soren and Zol being a bit too much...
@sbm602 Glad to see Soren love!
@chrisco That's interesting, as I've also thought perhaps Caspian matches Parisa a bit better in their whimsical flavour.
@emsky If we used Caspian, it would 100% be because of the sea, as DH is from a city named after the Caspian. Plus, it's a place that means a lot to us... but I'm just not sure if that overrides Soren. To be honest, I prefer the sound and meaning of Caspian... but I think Soren may just be more "practical", if that makes sense...
@psg007 Thanks! Glad to be someone giving Caspian a little love. I did have Caspian Emre in mind... will have to see if DH goes for it...

I prefer Caspian! I like Soren but I feel like its too wordy for me like "I am soren through the sky!" Caspian I have always adored but fiance wont allow it. In the end go with your gut feeling or bring both to the hospital to see which one he looks like? And I love the sound of Caspian Emre. Its very adventurous to me.

Sweet Heart Lychee tree with lots flowers won't fruit. Help!
Hi all,
I'm new to the site and don't really know anything about gardening. Would love your suggestions.
Bought a 15 gallon Sweet Heart lychee tree $200, about 6 feet tall. The main trunk was curved and not very good looking. Planted it in the grassy yard March 2013. It had some flowers, and some fruit the size of the tip of a toothpick. All of the fruit fell off in 2013 while they were toothpick size.
Now mid April, 2014, the tree is about 7+ feet tall, lots more flowers, both male and female, lots of bees (so many bees that it's a little scary), and very few fruit, still the same size as the tip of a toothpick and falling off immediately.
I'm in Los Angeles, the climate is dry and hot. The past winter was warm, almost like we didn't have a winter.
The tree was planted at a corner of the grassy back yard with 6 feet fence on 2 sides. We water the lawn 2x a week, 10 minutes each time. Haven't fertilized it yet.
How come the tree doesn't fruit? Anything I can do? All my friends tried planting lychee trees (all in Los Angeles) either killed it or had it for years without fruit.
Thanks and looking forward to hearing your suggestions. :)
From Wikipedia: "They require a warm subtropical to tropical climate that is cool but also frost-free or with only very slight winter frosts not below âÂÂ4 ðC, and with high summer heat, rainfall, and humidity. "
They need high humidity ... really high humidity. And acid soil
Also, they may need cross-pollinating by a different variety ... "Isolated or single lychee trees will usually set acceptable amounts of fruit. However, recent research has demonstrated that under some conditions, cross-pollination among different cultivars may increase fruit set. Therefore, in some cases there may be an advantage to planting more than one variety. "
Here is a link that might be useful: California Rare Fruit Growers
Thanks for the info. The nursery where I bought it said one lychee tree is ok because it's self fruitful. However, Los Angeles is REALLY dry. Watering 2x/week should be ok since our grass and other fruit trees are doing well.
Obviously I can't change the dry climate. Is there anything I can do to help? Thanks.
They do fruit in SoCal...
check with these guys.....many socal fruit guys here that grow lychee

Hodgson plea for clubs' help
Sat, 18 May 2013 18:57:00
St Mirren boss Danny Lennon admits time is running out as he attempts to retain out-of-contract playmaker Paul McGowan.
The midfielder scored what proved to be the decisive goal from the penalty spot in their 3-1 victory at Kilmarnock after John McGinn's opener had been cancelled out by Kris Boyd.
On-loan Newcastle midfielder Conor Newton then scored the final goal two minutes from time but talks have now stalled on a new deal for McGowan to leave Lennon frustrated.
"It's still in the balance. I haven't had a conversation with the boy for a number of weeks now," said Lennon.
"I opened up talks with him about three months ago and he knows where we stand. I know exactly what his intentions are but we can't wait for ever."
Lennon is more upbeat about his chances of taking Newton and team-mate Paul Dummett back on loan again next season, however.
"The two of them are good players and the boy Dummett just loves defending," added Lennon.
"He's been a pleasure to have. Our club now has a reputation now of bringing in players and improving them.
"Newcastle have got to welcome the boys back but we have a very good relationship with them. If they are going to go back out anywhere then I dare say we are in with a good shout."
Lennon also handed debuts to youngsters AntonBrady, who was fouled for the penalty award, as well as Mo Yaqub and Jack Smith and he was delighted at their progress.
"It was fantastic that we managed to get another three young boys on at the end and we had seven players under the age of 20 featuring too," said Lennon.
"Credit too to the young lads Killie had out and that's a great advert for Scottish football there.
"We will have to carry a balance of young players next season and these young kids, Jack, Anton - who did well to win the penalty - and Mo have been exceptional at reserve level.
"A great deal of credit must also go to our head of youth David Longwell and his assistant Frazer Robertson for these wee diamonds they are bringing up to us and it's now up to me to polish them."
Spurs' trip to face Jamaica in the Bahamas is just one example of the money-spinning post-season tours affecting England's build-up for their friendlies against the Republic of Ireland and Brazil.
But Chelsea have already agreed to allow Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole and Gary Cahill to return early from their tour of the United States where they will play Manchester City twice next week.
"We are grateful for that," Hodgson told Sky Sports. "It would be nice if Man City do the same. I don't know whether they can.
"It would also be nice if, for the game in the Bahamas, maybe the couple of Tottenham players that are in the squad didn't have to play and had the chance to rest up.
"Of course, I don't get to make those decisions. That will depend on the club coaches. But they could certainly do us a favour if they wanted to."
Hodgson has already named his 22-man squad and while he hopes all of his selections will report for duty he is comfortable in the knowledge that there are others waiting to take their place.
"I know that the players I have selected are very keen to come," added the Three Lions boss. "I can only hope that they are able to survive injury in these games.
"If not then I will have to turn to some others because I left some quite good players out of this squad so I'm not short of reserves."
England face Ireland on May 29th at Wembley before travelling out to Brazil for a showpiece friendly against next year's World Cup hosts in Rio de Janeiro.

Seeds for an experiment for schools
tom_simpsonJuly 9, 2009
To Whom It May Concern:
I am currently developing a schools resource on Mendelian Genetics where school pupils grow some seeds to a point where they can observe a Mendelian trait. The pupils can then enter their results into a Europe-wide database and hopefully watch as these results tend to the appropriate ratios. I have read the comments made in this forum and I agree that there could be over-emphasis on Mendalian genetics but I think it is an excellent starting point for school pupils just starting out in their studies of the subject. To that end, does anyone know of an easy-to-see trait in a plant that could be grown quickly and easily from seed? I am having some problems with seed providers.
Many Thanks
Tom Simpson

|Too much one-on-one
|Written by Doug Thonus
|Thursday, 14 May 2009 16:01
Does Ben Gordon go one on one too much? This is a common complaint put forth by Gordon detractors. Since I have the means, the time, and the intense desire to find out the truth I decided to research this topic by the numbers.
Bulls players isolation usage and effectiveness:
Usage and effectiveness of isolation around the league:
It's also worth noting the majority of two guards whom most people would agree are clearly better than Gordon (Roy, Wade, Kobe, Joe Johnson) all use more isolation than Gordon, with only Wade being close to Gordon's rate while the other three far exceed his isolation usage. Of the players most frequently compared to Gordon Ray Allen has almost no isolation usage (gets most of his shots as a spot up shooter or coming off screens) while Redd has a very similar rate of isolation usage.
What to take from these numbers is up to the individual. They show me that Gordon definitely uses isolation plays quite a bit. There is no denying that fact, and the complaints about Gordon using too much isolation clearly stem from the fact that he does go to the iso quite a bit. However, the numbers also bear out that his usage of isolation is well within the bounds of what other quality shooting guards use especially given his effectiveness as an isolation player. What is scariest is the amount of people clamouring for John Salmons to start at shooting guard who claim Ben Gordon is a ball stopper given that Salmons use a significantly higher percentage of isolation plays at a significantly lower rate of effectiveness.

SEATTLE — Thousands of bridges around the U.S. may be one freak accident or mistake away from collapse, even if the spans are deemed structurally sound.
The crossings are kept standing by engineering design, not supported with brute strength or redundant protections like their more modern counterparts. Bridge regulators call the more risky spans "fracture critical," meaning that if a single, vital component of the bridge is compromised, it can crumple.
Those vulnerable crossing carry millions of drivers every day. In Boston, a six-lane highway 1A near Logan airport includes a "fracture critical" bridge over Bennington Street.
In northern Chicago, an I-90 pass that goes over Ashland Avenue is in the same category. An I-880 bridge over 5th Avenue in Oakland, Calif., is also on the list.
Also in that category is the Interstate 5 bridge over the Skagit River north of Seattle, which collapsed into the water this week after officials say an oversized truck load clipped the steel truss.
Public officials have focused in recent years on the desperate need for money to repair thousands of bridges deemed structurally deficient, which typically means a major portion of the bridge is in poor condition or worse. But the bridge that collapsed Thursday is not in that deficient category, highlighting another major problem with the nation's infrastructure: Although it's rare, some bridges deemed to be fine structurally can still be crippled if they are struck hard enough in the wrong spot.
"It probably is a bit of a fluke in that sense," said Charles Roeder, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Washington.
While the I-5 truck's cargo suffered only minimal damage, it left chaos in its wake, with two vehicles catapulting off the edge of the broken bridge into the river below. Three people involved escaped with non-life threatening injuries.
The most famous failure of a fracture critical bridge was the collapse of the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis during rush hour on Aug. 1, 2007, killing 13 people and injuring more than 100. The National Transportation Safety Board concluded that the cause of the collapse was an error by the bridge's designers — a gusset plate, a key component of the bridge, was too thin. The plate was only half of the required one-inch thickness.
Because the bridge's key structures lacked redundancy, where if one piece fails, there is another piece to prevent the bridge from falling, when the gusset plate broke, much of the bridge collapsed.
Mark Rosenker, who was chairman of the NTSB during the I-35W bridge investigation, said the board looked into whether other fracture critical bridges were collapsing. They found a few cases, but not many, he said.
A collapsed section of the Interstate 5 bridge over the Skagit River is seen in an aerial view Friday, May 24, 2013, in Mt. Vernon, Wash. Part of the bridge collapsed Thursday evening, sending cars and people into the water when a an oversized truck hit the span, the Washington State Patrol chief said. Washington Gov. Jay Inslee on Friday declared a state of emergency in three counties around the bridge, saying that the bridge collapse has caused extensive disruption, impacting the citizens and economy in Skagit, Snohomish and Whatcom Counties.

Gasoline prices have been at all time highs throughout the summer. Unfortunately, they're likely to hover near $4 per gallon for some time locally because of recent hurricanes that disrupted production on gulf oil rigs and at coastal area refineries. Local unemployment has risen to 7.5 percent, up two percentage points from the same level a year ago and higher than the state average.

Easy ways to conserve water
- Hauling water in a five-gallon container a couple of hundred yards from communal spigot to campsite has reinforced my tendency to conserve. You, no doubt, have reasons of your own.
Take a step back in time in North Wales
- One in a continuing series spotlighting real estate markets in the region's communities. Just to be clear: This week's focus is North Wales, the borough, not North Wales, the zip code (19454), of which the municipality is a minuscule part.
Wenonah By the Numbers
- Population: 2,278 (2010). Median income: $103,403 (2010). Area: 629 acres. Settlements in the last three months: 7. Homes for sale: 31.
No matter the forecast prepare for winter weather
- I'm not a farmer, but the Farmer's Almanac is suggesting that this winter might be worse than the last one.
Phila. population jump tied to keeping millennials
- Among the topics that keep appearing on my radar screen are Philadelphia's efforts to attract younger, educated people, age 20 to 44.
In Wenonah, 'a special little town,' demand outstrips supply
- One in a continuing series spotlighting real estate markets in the region's communities. To real estate agent Patricia Settar, Wenonah is a "Norman Rockwell kind of place."
Preparing for winter: First, the pipes
- Someone suggested that I write the annual getting-ready-for-winter column early this year because the last time I did, we had a mild one.

- Population: 10,497 (2010) Median income: $96,796 (2009) Area: 18.2 square miles Settlements in the last three months: 47 Homes for sale: 113
Census data reveal Phila.'s 'creative class'
- To which socioeconomic class do you belong?
Willistown: More than just horse farms and huge houses
- Narberth Realtor John Duffy did a stint with a builder in the late 1970s, when he got out of college. One of the places they worked was Willistown. "Coming in from Lower Merion, it was like going to the end of the world," says Duffy, even though Malvern Borough, at Willistown's top edges, is part of the Main Line and just a train ride away.

Maryland State Fire Marshall Investigates Possible Pipe Bomb in Stevensville
By Jamyla Krempel
The Maryland State Fire Marshall is investigating a possible pipe bomb, found in Stevensville on Thursday.
Officials with the Queen Anne's County Office of the Sheriff say, shortly before 9 a.m., a worker with the Queen Anne's County Roads Department, located the possible pipe bomb next a utility pole, while working in the area of Grollman Road at Old Love Point Road.
The item is described as an 8 to 10 inch galvanized pipe with screw caps on each end.
Traffic in the area was diverted for 3 hours until State Fire Marshall units were able to respond. A Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport bomb squad robot neutralized the pipe with two shots from the robot's high pressure water cannon.
