Injured and on the run, it has been seven days since June and Day barely escaped Los Angeles and the Republic with their lives. Day is believed dead having lost his own brother to an execution squad who thought they were assassinating him. June is now the Republic's most wanted traitor. Desperate for help, they turn to the Patriots – a vigilante rebel group sworn to bring down the Republic. But can they trust them or have they unwittingly become pawns in the most terrifying of political games?
What was once the western United States is now home to the Republic, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in one of the Republic's wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a prodigy being groomed for success in the Republic's highest military circles. Born into the slums, fifteen-year-old Day is the country's most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem.
From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths – until the day June's brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family's survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias's death. But in a shocking turn of events, the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together, and the sinister lengths their country will go to keep its secrets.
Full of nonstop action, suspense, and romance, this novel is sure to move readers as much as it thrills.
I am red now. It was her first thought of the day, every day, surfacing after a few seconds of fogged, blessed ignorance and sweeping through her like a wave, breaking in her breast with a soundless roar. Hard on its heels came the second wave, crashing into the wreckage left by the first: he is gone.
Hannah Payne's life has been devoted to church and family. But after she's convicted of murder, she awakens to a nightmarish new life. She finds herself lying on a table in a bare room, covered only by a paper gown, with cameras broadcasting her every move to millions at home, for whom observing new Chromes—criminals whose skin color has been genetically altered to match the class of their crime—is a sinister form of entertainment. Hannah is a Red for the crime of murder. The victim, says the State of Texas, was her unborn child, and Hannah is determined to protect the identity of the father, a public figure with whom she shared a fierce and forbidden love.
A powerful reimagining of The Scarlet Letter, When She Woke is a timely fable about a stigmatized woman struggling to navigate an America of the not-too-distant future, where the line between church and state has been eradicated, and convicted felons are no longer imprisoned but chromed and released back into the population to survive as best they can. In seeking a path to safety in an alien and hostile world, Hannah unknowingly embarks on a journey of self-discovery that forces her to question the values she once held true and the righteousness of a country that politicizes faith and love.
Imagine a world ravaged by war and taken over by the religious right. This is the dystopic future of Kristen Simmons Article 5. Sometime in the not so distant future the United States has lost a war with foes unknown. The outcome of that war is that the moral majority takes over and takes away the civil liberties of the population. Sounds scary and just a little bit possible doesn't it? This is the world of Ember. She is a regular 17-year old worried about mom, school, friends. Then she comes home one day and the Moral Militia are arresting her and her mom for article violations. Why? Because her mom became pregnant without being married. Ember is a bastard. Doesn't matter that it happened long before the MM took over. They are still arrested and taken away. Ember has no idea what happens to her mom; she is taken to a reform school with a bunch of other girls like her. Then her childhood love, Chase, who now belongs to the MM comes and rescues her. They embark on a race to find a safe place in a world that is hunting them.
We don't learn a whole lot about the war or the group that brought about this dystopian power. Now most of the time I would rage about the lack of world building and how it makes the book weaker, but in this case it is ok. The present time of the world is developed enough that I don't think you need the whole back story of the world. It makes it scarier in my opinion to leave parts up to your own imagination. The articles themselves are pretty interesting and don't seem that out of the realm of possibility: you have to worship the one religion; family is defined as man, woman, children; you can only read appropriate materials; you have to behave morally; etc. Seems like things you hear about in present day. Of course the military isn't killing you if you violate any of these right now. I thought the MM coming in and cleansing towns and people was also a really interesting idea and well thought out. I can just see this systematic taking over of the country. I also liked the rebellion because of course there will be a rebellion. Not everyone is going to fall in line.
I think my biggest issue with this book was the main character. Ember is a really hard character to like or root for. She is whiny and stupid for most of the book. She is 17 so you would think she would be a little smarter and she is about some things but then she is really stupid and naive. Her relationship with Chase is one example. They were in love, he joins the military (because he is drafted and has no choice), he is there when she and her mom are arrested, he rescues her, but then she runs away from him and doesn't trust him several times even though he has shown no reason for this. I didn't get her motivation for most of the book and she really didn't grow into a decent character until about the last 50 pages or so. If I was Chase I probably would have left her on the side of the road. Chase was a great character. You could see his conflict and his determination to do what is right. He was a character I could root for.
Of course there were things about the book that were very predictable as well. The storyline with the mom was so predictable I couldn't believe it. I was waiting for the twist throughout the whole book because I couldn't believe it would be so obvious, but it was. I couldn't believe Ember didn't ask more questions or pick up on the signs or that situation. The MM was also very one dimensional. I wish we could have seen a little bit more from the bad guys. However, I like where this world is going and I will probably read the next book in the series.
The world has come to and end and zombies are run amok. This is the world of Amanda Hocking's Hollowland. This is a fast paced zombie adventure novel. It reads almost more like a movie than a book and I could definitely see it unfolding on screen. There are things I like about this book. I like the heroine; I think she kicks ass and has come to grips with the world as it now is; she isn't sentimental except about her brother. She sees things as they are and she is realistic. So often the characters in these post-apocalyptic books don't seem to be in touch with the reality of their world and she is. I like that. I also love Ripley the zombie eating lion. I know…not very realistic, but for some reason it worked for me and I liked it. I didn't really like the boy in this one. Didn't get the romance angle didn't see the point and not sure why it was in there. Didn't make sense to me why she was attracted to him or why they got together in the first place. My quibble since all these teen books seem to have to have a romance angle. This was a fun zombie book and I am glad I finally got to read it.
Identity crises, consumerism, and star-crossed teenage love in a futuristic society where people connect to the Internet via feeds implanted in their brains.
For Titus and his friends, it started out like any ordinary trip to the moon – a chance to party during spring break and play with some stupid low-grav at the Ricochet Lounge. But that was before the crazy hacker caused all their feeds to malfunction, sending them to the hospital to lie around with nothing inside their heads for days. And it was before Titus met Violet, a beautiful, brainy teenage girl who has decided to fight the feed and its omnipresent ability to categorize human thoughts and desires. Following in the footsteps of George Orwell, Anthony Burgess, and Kurt Vonnegut Jr., M. T. Anderson has created a not-so-brave new world — and a smart, savage satire that has captivated readers with its view of an imagined future that veers unnervingly close to the here and now.
Told from both Tobias' and Tris' perspective this story ends the Divergent trilogy. Tris and Tobias must discover the secrets that lay outside their city's walls. Tris tries to understand the decisions others have made and faces the truth about their city and about her and Tobias' family history. They both learn what courage, allegiance, sacrifice and love really mean.
Beatrice Prior ("Tris") was a divergent who chose to join the Dauntless faction when she turned 16. This book continues exactly where Divergent left off with death and destruction fresh in Tris and her boyfriend, Tobias' minds. They have to figure out what is happening and how to stop the simulations. This book explains a lot more of what is happening between the factions and makes you realize that each faction needs the other to survive. This book was fast-paced and full of twists and turns that leave you breathless. You have to read it to believe it.
Divergent is an awesome, thrill-ride full of an attempt at a utopian society, romance, death-defying experiences, and life choices that will change the world. Society is divided into five different factions with each focusing on a different personality characteristic that is believed to be the best. Courage, pursuit of knowledge, selflessness, and peacefulness are a few of the ideal traits. When a person reaches 16, he or she can choose which faction to join for the rest of their lives. This decision can make all the difference in how your life unravels afterward. I highly recommend this book.
The faction-based society that Tris Prior once believed in is shattered—fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss and betrayal. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the limits she's known, Tris is ready. Perhaps beyond the fence, she and Tobias will find a simple new life together, free from complicated lies, tangled loyalties, and painful memories.
But Tris's new reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. Old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless. Explosive new truths change the hearts of those she loves. And once again, Tris must battle to comprehend the complexities of human nature—and of herself—while facing impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice, and love.
Told from a riveting dual perspective, Allegiant, by #1 New York Times best-selling author Veronica Roth, brings the Divergent series to a powerful conclusion while revealing the secrets of the dystopian world that has captivated millions of readers in Divergent and Insurgent.
Feisty Scarlet is young the star of the second book in the Lunar Chronicles series. When her grandmother, a former military pilot, goes missing, Scarlet does everything she can to find her. This quest to find her grandmother leads Scarlet on a dangerous journey with the street fighter, Wolf. Her quest also leads her to cross paths and develop and unexpected friendship with Cinder.
This book subtly deviates away from the retelling of Cinderella and instead displays innovative retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. Fans of the first book will be sure to enjoy the second book in this series. My only complaint is that Cinder's storyline fades too far into the background of Scarlet.
Cinder, the first book in the Lunar Chronicles series, is a must-read for teens or adults who enjoy retellings of classic fairy tales. This book features a teen named Cinder: a talented cyborg mechanic who has a miserable home life and a mysterious past. Despite her second class status and occupation, Cinder manages to catch the eye of the local prince. But with a plague destroying the earth's population, a war being threatened by a ruthless lunar queen, and Cinder concealing the fact that she's a cyborg, will the romance between these two blossom or burn?
This retelling of the Cinderella fairy tale is fresh and original. But be warned: once you pick this book up, it will be hard to put down!
This title unlike the previous 2, is narrated by both Tris and Tobias. I'm Not sure this adds that much (unlike hearing Beans narrative in contrast to Ender's version of the same story). I'm always suspicious that the author is trying to pad their work to add more pages. Maybe Roth is pulling a Hobbit Movie extension trick, trying to get as much out of the story as she can. Overall, I liked this book, no it wasn't as fast-paced as the other two, but you gained a lot of explanation. I wonder if Roth knew where the series was headed when she published the first book.
If a song was playing during the opening scenes, it could be the Who's "Don't Get Fooled Again" new boss, same as the old boss…
Book three of the Unwind Dystology picks up where book two left off. Pretty much everyone is on the run or in hiding. Connor and Lev are in search of asylum from the Juvenile Authority and a particularly determined parts-pirate. Risa is on her own, also seeking save haven. Cam is busy compiling damning evidence against the Juvenile Authority while living the life of a celebrity. Connor and Lev head to the Arapache reservation where they must come to terms with the tragedies inflicted by the Juvenile Authority the last time Lev was in their care. Risa changes her appearance and mostly travels alone. Cam plays up his public image until he is informed that he is now effectively owned by the military, a fact that doesn't sit well with his already-fragmented mind. The love triangle is still more or less in effect, although the characters aren't really around each other enough in this installment for any real progress to be made one way or another. Eventually, all the major players will reunite and starling revelations regarding the history of unwinding and the role of Proactive Citizenry will come to pass.
A lot of this volume consists of traveling or hiding. All of the major players are nationally famous and must keep to the shadows if they are to survive. The Juvenile Authority and Proactive Citizenry continue to the embodiment of government-sponsored evil. While this book will not work as a stand-alone, it definitely expands the world that Shusterman has created. I didn't love this one as much as the first two, mostly because it's super-long and relatively low-action. There's a lot of reminders about the outcomes from the first couple of books, presumably for readers like me who may have forgotten exactly how everything played out earlier. New characters are introduced, which is always fun and interesting. Things are complicated, but the horrifying premise gains a lot more traction with the extra world-building supplied by this installment. I'm interested to see where this series ultimately ends up. Evidently, there's one more book to go, but I'm still not so sure Connor and co. are going to be able to take down such an insidious system.
The final part of the trilogy, Tris and Tobias's lives continue to be jumbled as they are selected to leave Chicago and visit the outside world. Once there, they find that their entire world-view is false and they have to decide to live in this reality or face that all they know will be erased. This book is a good conclusion to the trilogy, although the wrap-up chapters take way too long, in my opinion. The book is also written differently than the others — it alternates between Tris and Tobias as first-person POV. It becomes clear why Roth did this as the story unfolds, but I found it a bit distracting.
Tris Prior continues on her adventures in factioned Chicago. This book is the typical second act of a three-act play — darker and basically a "how much worse can it get" plot. Tris's life continues to unravel with losses of family and friends. Politically things erode to a point that she is faced with joining the Factionless. However, there are agendas at play there as well…
This book continues the pace of the previous and does a good job building to the climax. Not a bad read.
Tris Prior lives in a future Chicago that is recovering from war. Society is broken into groups of like people, and at the age of 16, each person gets to choose their group. Tris makes a difficult decision to choose against her family's group and the adventure begins. Plots are uncovered and all of society (as they know it) is at stake. Much like the Hunger Games, this book is a good read and would be appealing to teens who do not feel in control of their lives. It is fast paced but still has some substance.
In a future Manhattan devastated by environmental catastrophes and epidemics, sixteen-year-old Lucy survives alone until vicious hounds target her and force her to join Aidan and his band, but soon they learn that she is the target of Sweepers, who kidnap and infect people with plague.
This wasn't too bad, as far as dystopian novels go. I thought it was good, but fairly predictable to me. Teens will enjoy it and want to read the rest of the series to see how the characters turn out. I think I may pass on the rest of them. Very interesting to wonder if we would turn out the past as quickly in order to get our survival skills fine tuned.
The conclusion of the Maze Runner trilogy. Our hero Thomas does not trust anyone at Wicked even though now they say the time for lies has ended. Wicked claims that it is up to the Gladers to complete the final blueprint for the cure for the flare and that they need to have their memories restored to complete the process and agree to a final voluntary test. Thomas already remembers more than anyone at Wicked knows and he doesn't trust that the memories that would be restored would be real. But the truth is more dangerous than Thomas can imagine. Will he survive the cure?
Tom and his father have been traveling from place to place, grifting along the way to keep themselves fed. When Tom's talent for virtual reality simulation games gets noticed, he is tapped by the those in the highest echelons of the US military to join their elite group of combatants who are currently fighting World War III. Tom agrees and is quickly shuttled off to the Pentagonal Spire, where these new types of soldiers are trained. He's in for a bit of a shock when he gets there though. While the military aims to get the best and brightest, natural traits just aren't enough in this brave new world. Each plebe (combatant-in-training) must receive a neural transplant. The brain is altered in such a way as to enhance memory and processing, while also allowing plebes and combatants to directly connect to the space ships that are doing the actual fighting in the war. Tom isn't crazy about the transplant and realizes that he's been manipulated, but eventually agrees to it on his own terms.
At first, Tom kind of loves his new transplant; he's faster, smarter, better looking – everything that he wasn't before arriving at the Pentagon. It isn't long, however, before the drawbacks of the technology become glaring apparent. For instance, Tom learns rather quickly that the brain can be easily accessed and hacked by others, including curmudgeonly teachers, bullies, enemy combatants and the corporations that finance a plebe's promotion to combat. Naturally, in a school full of teenagers with the same type of implant, hijinks ensue.
For me, this book had a kind of Ender's-Game-meets-Harry-Potter (or Percy Jackson, if you prefer)vibe. Tom and his friends were, to me, strongly reminiscent of the Harry-Ron-Hermione trio. His programming professor reminded me of Snape. The bully? Total Draco potential. The virtual training and manipulation of children comes across as an updated rendition of Ender's battle school. It's both fun and thought-provoking. I read this with my middle school book group; everyone in the group loved it. Interestingly enough, roughly half the group said they'd love to have similar implants while the rest shuddered at the thought.

"Card is gorgeous, can't be be beat for formatting, customization and price. I would have given 5 stars except there were a lot of issues with the website and I had to call in and have a customer service agent make the card for me blindly. It took a lot of time and patience that I didn't have, especially with a newborn, but the customer service was great and I have already reordered more. PS If you want the tiny prints logo removed at the back, just ask."
"I loved this announcement. I had newborn photos taken professionally. For the announcement I used a fall themed picture and it matched perfectly with the orange on the card. The cards are nice and thick. The bows on the back were a cute touch. I got a lot of great feedback from everyone I sent these to. I am also very impressed with the quickness that I received them."

LOOKING for: Smoothie Recipes-Fruit Juice to Sweeten?
Anyone know a good smoothie recipe that uses fruit, yogurt and ice (no Splenda, Aspartame, honey, etc.)?
I never eat breakfast because I can't find anything I like that doesn't take an extra hour to make. I like the new fruit smoothie things on the market, but they are full of sugar. One brand has 50g of sugar! I feel terrible after all that sugar, but I think I if I modified them, it would be a good thing for me.
If I could find a recipe that used fruit to sweeten them, I could eat more often and speed up my metabolism and be less likely to eat the vending machine junk.
Please help? Thanks!
My 11 year old daughter had to have her mouth wired shut for a month after a car accident. We made lots of smoothies and the one we liked the best was just this:
Orange juice
frozen Strawberries
frozen Bananas
We peeled the bananas and froze them whole and bought pre-frozen strawberries. You could add yogurt if you wanted to.
I always freeze fresh bananas, strawberries and blackberries. In addition to the recipes listed I like frozen blackberries and diluted cranberry juice. I find if I use regular strength it is a little to overpowering. I dilute with a few ice cubes, into which I've frozen blackberries. But I still put more blackberries in.
I also like to freeze left over coffee in icecycle trays to make my own granditas. Try this sometime with not only frozen coffee but a few of those frozen blackberry ice cubes. Yum
I put any very ripe bananas in the freezer for just such a time as this. any combination of banana, blueberries, strawberries-(any berry), (actually any fruit you like), add a cup of flavored or unflavored yogurt in a blender for a few seconds makes a great smoothie. The frozen banana takes the place of ice and it becomes nice and thick.
I suppose I would not use any melons because of the consistancy!!
I also really enjoy putting 3 tablespoons steelecut (uncooked) oatmeal in a container of yogurt-any flavor- let it set overnight, and eat for breakfast. It's chewy enough to be satisfying and so yummy.-provides good fiber, too.

To start off, I am brand new to this, so thanks for any and all help.
I am looking into what equipment to purchase, and wondering about the fermentation buckets. My question is why not buy both needed buckets with spigots, so that you don't ever need to syphon from one to the other? It seems like this would also stop the need to try and not syphon the leftovers at the bottom of the bucket because the spigot is a few inches above the bottom leaving the junk in the first bucket.
Depending on the type of brew you do, that may not always be the case. If you look at some of the pictures on here of carboys, plenty of them have a few inches worth of trub. Not that it won't work though, just may not every time.

While it's not happened to me, I know of friends who had leaky spigots or those who've had them bumped during fermentation and leak or ruin. While the risk of infection is rare, I personally wouldn't leave it to chance.
But, many starter kits come with spigots and most have no problem.
Honestly, with the cost of an auto siphon and a length of tube I'd rather rack. It's a little more equipment, but it gives you much more control over the process. Believe me, there will come a high trub day where you'll be glad not to be racking off all that sediment. Something else to consider: once the beer is in the vessel it is nearly impossible to properly sanitize the spigot. Not that it means your beer is automatically ruined. It just raises the chances for something to go wrong. I also prefer carboys over buckets and highly recommend a 6 gallon better bottle for your five gallon batches. I clean by soaking in unscented oxyclean.
If you use carbing sugar it would be hard to dump it in and mix it without mixing the trub up and into your bottles
Some companies do sell them, i think williams brewing has fermenters with a spigot.
If you were looking to bottle condition from this you would have to prime each bottle with sugar. And that sucks
I always ferment in buckets with spigots. It's super easy to run the beer into a keg using a spigot...that's half the point of using buckets to start with.
i have 1 bucket with a spigot. i have a clumsy brother. he was visiting 1 night, and kicked the spigot open. didn't notice until a few days later when i went to keg the ipa. felt the bucket was pretty much empty. now i know how how to remove carpet and lay tile. i broke the spigot handle off the bucket
1: Empty
2: Scottish Export 80
3: Hef-wit
Fermenting: English Mild, Cabernet Sauvignon, Barkshack Mead
I used to ferment in a bottling bucket on occasion, and then my fermentation freezer had 2 inches of beer in it one day. I stopped fermenting in a bottling bucket shortly thereafter.
For me fermenters with spigots are fine. If the beer is given the proper amount of time to fully ferment and then allowed to brighten in the primary (I do not do the secondary thing) the trub settles well below the spigot and causes no problems.
I simply use the spigot to drain the beer (the first few ounces cleans out the trub that settled into the spigot) into a bottling bucket or bottle prime right from the fermenter. I've never had any oxidation problems.
My best advice when buying a fermenting bucket is to get one that is a few gallons larger than what is going into it.
I hate blowoffs and don't like to see good beer go to waste.
Watch the temperatures to keep fermentation under control.
Keep the lid on and (depending on the brew) give the yeast plenty of time to do its job, allowing the beer to clear up.
ps. Just make sure your spigots are in good shape, sanitized well and don't leak. Spray the exterior part of the spigot well with Starsan before attaching any tubing or a bottling wand.

Transplanting six organs into a 53-year-old woman in 17 hours of surgery. Dawn Carter has become only the third patient in Britain to survive such a procedure. She now has a new liver, kidney, pancreas, stomach, small intestine and colon. "There isn't a day goes by without me thinking of that person's gift to me," Carter says. "I sometimes joke that there's more of her in me than there is of me."

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - One consultant was required to retrieve Dawn's organs while three consultants to perform the implants, which all came from a 20-year-old female donor. Two anesthetists were present, along with two operating department practitioners, two theatre nurses and two other theatre staff.
Carter, an intensive care nurse from Northallerton, North Yorkshire had been suffering from a serious liver disease and had been given just six months to live. "I'm obviously meant to be here," she says.
Diagnosed with Cohn's disease at the age of 19, she underwent an operation to remove part of her colon at Leeds General Infirmary ten years later.
Her problems continued and Dawn needed several more operations, which eventually left her with just five per cent of her intestine, her only option to receive all nutrition and fluids intravenously.
Dawn along with her partner Martin, who are keen motorsports fans, travelled to various Formula 1 events and spent several holidays in the United States.
Carter was told in 2011 that her liquidized food had been damaging her liver and she had end-stage liver disease. Referred to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, her only chance of survival was a multi-organ transplant.
"It never crossed my mind that I wouldn't get a transplant," Carter says. Two days before Christmas 2011, she was told the organs had become available.
"I didn't hold any fear about the operation," she remembers. "In the anesthetic room I thought, "This might be the last time I am alive". But I felt fortunate I was getting this chance."
Carter is one of three people in the UK to survive a six-organ transplant in one operation. The first survivor was Stephen Hyett, who received a new liver, kidney, stomach, duodenum, pancreas and small bowel in 1994.
Out of the 88,052 transplants that have taken place in Britain, fewer than 30 have involved three or more organs being transplanted at once.
Dawn spent nine weeks on a ventilator in intensive care, with Martin, her mother Dorothy and her brother Larry by her side. She needed a further 12 operations to rectify complications, which included bleeding from her new liver and pancreas. She also required a 17-pint blood transfusion.
After more than five months in hospital, Dawn went home last May. She takes 18 tablets a day - immunosuppressant drugs, antibiotics, enzymes and multi-vitamins.

My family loves the Puma brand. And my son loves these shoes. He uses them for indoor soccer/futsal. It has great grip on gym floor as well as turf. The roof of my son's foot is a little high, so it is sometimes challenging to find shoes that are comfortable. These are very comfortable!
Reviewer: Kathryn J Maxwell
from Kentucky
I send these to my nephew every year. Every time he receives them he says awesome. He has received to date at least 4 pair. He says they are his professional shoes. They are comfy. His new request is another pair but a more professional pair, Vans in Denver Bronco colors.
Fit is a little large for length. Really comfortable and made these my daily shoes. I've had other shoes last longer (current pair needs new insoles at the 6 month mark) but I've probably not worn other shoes as constantly as these. As for styling, the only shoes other Teva Oraibi that anyone has ever complimented me on.

WANTED: Newbie needs help
I am the proud new owner of a lakeside cabin northeast of Atlanta, Georgia. My shoreline has a small dock in water that starts at about one foot deep and is about four feet deep at ten feet from the shore. In the summer, it has about half each of shade and sun. I would like some non-invasive (stay where they're put) aquatic plants that would add beauty and utility (fish hiding places)to the area. Large plant-eating carp are in residence in the 40-acre lake. Any suggestions? Would anybody care to trade plants for rooted fig plants or unrooted cuttings? Could also trade fig preserves, mint, kudzu :), pay postage, etc. Thanks.
Joyce, I'm not sure that an umbrella palm is what I'm looking for. Is that the one that can grow to seven feet tall? I especially want things that grow in water near the shore for decoration and cover for small aquatic critters. Got anything else? Or am I mistaken about what the umbrella palm is? Also, thanks Queens for the tip. I'll be careful.

Fire Island has another scape emerging NOW?!
I noticed the other day that Fire Island seems to have another scape emerging. I wasn't sure, now I am pretty sure... Has anyone else ever seen a hosta scape this late in the season?
My Kiwi Full Monty has sent up a new scape just in the last week or so. Maybe not coincidentally, KFM put on a lavish second flush of leaves just before that? Dunno but I was surprised to see the late scape since it had already bloomed earlier in the season.
I was out cutting seed scapes to put in sugar water ahead of the freeze predicted for next week and noticed that KFM is sending up a second flower scape. It had only one scape earlier in summer & now has two!
After thinking about it, I remembered reading that some hostas will rebloom. I think Moccasin mentioned that some of hers did.
As an aside, I'm stillll waiting for either of my two plantagineas, my one Aphrodite and Adorable to send up a flower scape. The plantagineas & Aphrodite were all moved last summer to a location in the veggie garden where they all get quite a lot of sun. I think they no-like life in central Wisconsin.
hosta are not stable...
meaning. in this case.. the do weird things,...
my only thought.. is that it is wasting energy it stored for next spring..
and my other ONLY thought is... maybe too much fert got it out of phase...
whatever.. its a hosta.. dont worry about it ...
Ci-lantro, just send those babies south if they are unhappy. I will put them in my fragrant playground and send you some that are not happy down this way. :)
But, even here, the plantaginea bloomed late, with the blooms just end of September withering on the scape and one big fat seedpod to show for it. Two of the extended fragrant family, Bennie McRae and Mariachi, wound up being the last bloomers this year.....but I haven't looked for new scapes, so perhaps I should. Our average first frost is not until some time in November, but nothing has been normal for several years and I've forgotten what date that might be.
Did you get a cool snap and then warm back up? Who knows what triggers the urge to bloom......of course, I suppose you could really nip it in the bud and cut them off to avoid wasting the stored energy that will get them through your much colder winters.
I had a bunch of guys rebloom just now in different beds...no fertilizer, but it's been a beautiful warm fall. I think it must be climate conditions in my case. My garden went through a second bloom flush last fall as well...at least I have pretty flowers to look at up until November!

My Fire Island was blooming again until a few back to back hard frosts put the plant to sleep for the winter. The scape had several blooms that hadn't opened yet before it was frozen out.
The bed it's planted in is pretty rich, soil brought up from in front of the horse barn. The weather for the most part has been glorious.

In spite of Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed's best efforts, Democratic Party of Georgia chairman DuBose Porter appears set to coast to re-election.
Over the past several days, a cadre of notable Georgia Democrats have signed off on giving him another term at the party's helm, ranging from former Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin to state House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams. Most recently, he got an endorsement coveted by their party's ranks, that of vanquished 2014 Senate nominee Michelle Nunn.
"DuBose has brought people together, rolled up his sleeves, and is committed to rebuilding the grassroots infrastructure of our party," Nunn said via email.
Porter's sole rival for the chairmanship is R.J. Hadley, who waged an underdog bid for the post in 2013 and is considered, by all accounts, to be an even greater underdog this time around.
Still, the ease of Porter's apparent march to re-elect is notable because of the dynamic between him and the state's most powerful elected Democrat, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed.
Following a dismal showing in the 2014 midterms, Reed vocally spoke out against giving Porter another term, blasting the party's showing and calling for new leadership. Democratic strategist and longtime Reed ally Tharon Johnson considered tossing his hat in the ring, but passed. It left Hadley as the only other contender in the race and again exposed the potential weaknesses Reed will face with his own party's base if he chooses to run for governor in 2018.

Whether you are into math trivia, would like to brush up on the things that you think you forgot, are trying to help a child with homework or are just curious about the world of math in lay terms this is the book for you. Its starts out basic and answers what is a square and gets into all aspects of math in the form of questions. It is not your typical math study guide and for this non-math loving engineer I found myself drawn into the book and the historical explanations of why this or that math was needed or used. But on the other hand if if you just want to know the different types of triangles, it is here in the book.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Castara Riversde Apartment: central castara
We made a reservation as it was during holiday season
The rate was respected and we had the whole apartment for ourselves.
There are three rooms so maybe the kitchen could be crowded if the apartments are all occupied.
Very central place, near local stadium, at the entrance of the path to waterfalls.
A lot of activities arganized by this family, everybody taking part in the tourist business.
The coffeeshop serves very good breakfast and local food.

Parrot Estate Villa: Peaceful Luxury Villa amongst the wildlife
My wife and I stayed at Parrot Estate Villa in April 2008 and had a lovely holiday there.
The villa is located in between the fishing village of Castara and the secluded Englishman's bay beach, up high on the hills. I would recommend anyone to stay here.
it is a few minutes drive down the hill to Englishmans Bay which is a lovely secluded beach with excellent snorkelling. We also used the villa as a base to drive around and explore the entire island.
The villa is US$1000 per week year round, which if you have 4 people staying works out to a very reasonable $250 / £125 per person for the week. Pictures and contact at their website below.
The villa is very private and tranquil - nearest village is a 10minute drive away; there are a few other villas, the nearest one being on the next hill around 500metres away.
There is a nice swimming pool, several really relaxing hammocks, and wonderful gardens with fresh grapefruit, lime, papaya, bannanas, and frequented by green parrots and hummingbirds amongst other birds.
There are 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a fully equppied kitchen, as well as other ammenities such as books, games, TV/ DVD, binoculars and snorkelling equipment.
Car hire essential - manual Jeeps without A/C on the island can be had from around £20 per day.

Best view and location in Safety Harbor Club
This town home is an experience in freedom.....no taxing stairs to climb, no Gulf of Mexico winds and pounding surf, yet with a view all the way across Pineland Sound and a sheltered harbor that is 5 minutes from shelling on Gulf side. All is well here.....we adore our symphonies of crickets celebrating the dusk and morning doves orchestrating the sunrise concert, the rush of heron wings through the mid day air. I have so quickly become acclimatized to these sounds that even the phone makes me jump. I think this peace-able kingdom teaches how much we have violated nature's default rhythms when we live in the concrete (man made) jungle. And Dolphin House is the cat bird seat to experience the best of Robinson Crusoe living with the amenities of the 21st century.

China Monetary Policy in Focus as Reserves and Lending Surge
China's foreign reserves jumped by $199 billion in the fourth quarter, a much larger increase than economists expected. The People's Bank of China (PBOC) may need to raise benchmark interest rates, boost reserve requirements for lenders and allow faster yuan appreciation, as a result, according to economists from Standard Chartered Plc and Credit Agricole CIB.
"All eyes are going to be on what new policies the central bank can bring to the table,"Jinny Yan, a Shanghai-based economist at Standard Chartered told Bloomberg News. "But there's still going to be a lot of excess liquidity in the market in the first half of the year."

County, churches welcome evacuees
Sam Rodriguez of Morgan City, La., sat in the office of EZ DAZE RV Park in Southaven Monday, watching hurricane news on the television.
The damage in his hometown looked "pretty bad," Morgan said.
He and family members had made the trek of several hundred miles to Southaven in his RV to escape the wrath of hurricane Gustav, which came ashore Monday morning.
Rodriguez said "quite a few friends" were at the Southaven park in their campers as well.
"I just hate that people had to come for this," said Pat South, owner of the RV park at 536 W. E. Ross Pkwy. "I wanted them to come to see my park and I want it to be 100 percent full, but not at the misery of somebody else."
From Jackson all the way north to DeSoto County, those running from the path of Gustav covered the northern half of the state Monday.
As evacuees moved north, emergency workers from DeSoto County moved south.
Pat Nelson, regional customer service manager with Entergy in Southaven, said the hurricane had left about 800,000 Entergy customers without power, including about 750,000 in Louisiana.
Nelson, who was in McComb, Miss., Monday, said about 4,000 Mississippi customers were without power, most of them between McComb and Natchez.
As for those escaping, in addition to the Southaven RV park, Goodman Oaks Church of Christ at 1700 Goodman Road in Southaven also was the temporary home of many evacuees Monday. One of the most active DeSoto County churches through the years in helping out during emergency situations, Goodman Oaks was housing 110 Monday afternoon.
Steve Reeves, the minister, said evacuees began arriving Sunday morning as soon as church services were over.
"By 1 o'clock (Sunday), we had almost 80 people waiting on the shelter," Reeves said.
Many more came, but Reeves said 110 is the capacity so those above that number were referred to other shelters.
Just as in past emergency situations, Reeves said church members and others in the community came forth with cash donations, supplies and volunteer work to meet the need.
From 80 to 100 people from the church and the community have been serving as volunteers at the shelter, he said.
He also said a church member went to Wal-Mart to buy several carts full of blankets. On learning what the blankets were for, Reeves said a man paid the $400 purchase price.
The American Red Cross is providing a great deal of assistance this time, Reeves said, which it was unable to do when Katrina hit.
Stacey Lacombe and her husband, Chris, of St. Bernard Parish, were among the evacuees at Goodman Oaks Monday. They were there with their two children, Heather, 8, and Hayden, 6, and their English bulldog, Cosmo.
Like many others, the Lacombes weren't sure they will go back to the New Orleans area if their home and belongings are destroyed this time like during Katrina.
"We are deciding whether we are going to go back," said Chris Lacombe, 43, a truck driver. "Last time, we didn't have anything to go back to."
Added Stacey, 39: "All we can do is just kind of wait and see what happens.
Across Mississippi, emergency officials estimated 14,250 people were staying in shelters. Thousands more filled hotels. And many of them, like the Lacombes, were having doubts about going back.
"I love New Orleans. I really do," said Joann Smith, a former school bus driver from New Orleans and a 33-year-old mother of three. "But I don't want to put my children through that every July or August, to pack up and get out when there's a hurricane coming."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Other than an audacious steal of home, Cole Hamels had no problem shutting down the Washington Nationals.
Turns out, only his Philadelphia teammates' batting performance could keep Hamels from his 11th complete game.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Other than an audacious steal of home, Cole Hamels had no problem shutting down the Washington Nationals.
Turns out, only his Philadelphia teammates' batting performance could keep Hamels from his 11th complete game.
The left-hander gave up five hits over eight innings in the Phillies' 9-3 victory Sunday night. He batted to lead off the ninth, then the Phillies batted around, scoring six runs, and Hamels was lifted for pinch-hitter John Mayberry when his spot came up the second time in the inning.
"When you start games and you're pitching well you want to finish them," Hamels said. "But there's a window of time you have before you lose all ounce of strength and you get the stiffening up, and that's kind of what was happening."
Hunter Pence hit a pair of two-run homers to help the Phillies snap a seven-game losing streak against Washington dating to last year and avoid a sweep in the three-game series.
Of more concern to Washington will be the status of right fielder Jayson Werth, who left after breaking his left wrist while attempting a sliding catch.
"It's a clean break," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. "He's going to be out for a while."
Washington rookie Bryce Harper stole home in the first inning after being hit by Hamels, just the latest in an already growing list of accomplishments for the 19-year-old. Harper came up with two outs in the first and Hamels plunked him in the small of the back.
"I was trying to hit him. I'm not going to deny it," Hamels said. "That's something I grew up watching, that's kind of what happened, so I'm just trying to continue the old baseball because I think some people are kind of getting away from it. I remember when I was a rookie the strike zone was really, really small and you didn't say anything because that's the way baseball is. But I think unfortunately the league's protecting certain players and making it not that old-school, prestigious way of baseball."
Harper quickly shrugged off the sting, going from first to third on Werth's single to left. When Hamels made a pickoff throw to first, Harper broke for home and slid in under the tag.
"It's just, 'Welcome to the big leagues,'" Hamel said. "And I think he kind of did that for me."
It was Harper's first stolen base in his eight-game major league career.
In the third inning, Zimmermann hit Hamels in the left leg with one out and a runner on first when Hamels squared to bunt. Home plate umpire Andy Fletcher warned both dugouts.
