Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Gord Steeves a no-show at bannock handout
Gord Steeves was a no-show today but the Bannock Lady says he can come another Sunday, when he has time.
"I left it open to him, whenever," said Althea Guiboche, known as the Bannock Lady for her practice of handing out bannock, water and whatever is donated that she can give away. "Any Sunday."
For more than a year, Guiboche has offered to feed the homeless and the poor in the heart of Winnipeg's North End on Dufferin Avenue at Main Street.
Friday she issued an invitation to the mayoral candidate, inviting Steeves and his wife Lorrie Steeves to help her feed the homeless after racially charged comments on Facebook written by his wife, Lorrie Steeves in 2010 made headlines.
"To me they were just trying to save face by apologizing. But actions speak louder than words and if they were really serious, then they'd take action to amend their statements... it would have been nice of them to show up, to see life from a different perspective," Guiboche said Sunday.
A small crowd was waiting for Guiboche when she pulled up to her regular stop on the north side of Dufferin Avenue, half a block away from Main Street. By the time pizza, bannock, fresh potatoes, peaches and salad were laid out, the crowd had assembled into a quiet line of about 100 people, including parents with kids in strollers.
Friday started out like any other day on the campaign trail but it went south fast.
The lawyer and former St. Vital councillor made a public appearance to announce he would like to spend $600,000 to $800,000 to ensure an additional 20 police cadets patrol the heart of the city, over and above existing police, cadet and business improvement zone patrols and social-work efforts aimed at combating public intoxication.
"No person who is drunk or high will be allowed to linger downtown. No person struggling with mental illness will be left to their own devices downtown," said Steeves, promising to work with the province and Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries to more rigorously enforce existing public-intoxication rules. This would require police board approval, he said.
Steeves, who has spent the past two weeks trying to position himself as the mayoral candidate of choice on the right, appeared to be gaining momentum for his campaign with a series of provocative announcements.
Within hours of his downtown-safety pledge, however, a seldom-used Twitter account circulated a screen-capture image of a 2010 Facebook post by Lorrie Steeves, the candidate's spouse, who expressed dissatisfaction with "getting harrassed (sic) by the drunken native guys" in downtown Winnipeg skywalks.
The comments were immediately condemned and Lorrie Steeves issued a public apology.
Steeves campaign issued a notice Sunday that he would make statement Tuesday.

Though it's not a huge priority, at some point we will probably want to combine these threats and the ones from the first four generations, since they share the same metagame and it's not the early speculative stage where the older Pokemon are more or less known quantities and everyone wants to try out the new ones.
This looks to be even bigger than the gen 4 threat list though so at some point a way to organize this should be figured out, but yeah, we should start to finalize the early version of this threat list and make it more presentable and easier to navigate.

Oh dont worry i was gonna combine them.
What im gonna do is combine them and all the sets onto one threat list. Its alot smaller now i removed the UU junk.
It would of been done but lack of motivation + irl = ugh lol

Register now for the spring session of NMC!
Class starts Thursday, April 9.
Jesus. We may have heard the name and the stories many times, or maybe not. Either way, we may only think of what he has done as being in the distant past. The reality, however, is that the words and actions of Jesus over a few short years have rippled out into our world in ways we may have never realized. Government, science, education, art; forgiveness, humility, and dignity for every person and class of society; he has revolutionized every aspect of humanity. Who is this man?
Come discover Jesus in a whole new way as we get nearer to Easter.

Customer Reviews
A great child care with many options
Matthew from Bismarck, ND – Verified Buyer
Bought a couple of dozen for an expanding professional child care. Chairs are well made. Easy to clean and scrub (which is very important with little ones). Feel like they will work well for years. Nice to have a choice in foot style as well as color. We have multiple colors to differentiate between rooms. When we expand - we plan to order more!
Classic and Simple
Sue from Gilbert, AZ – Verified Buyer
Purchased to go with the ECR4Kids 30" x 48" Rectangular Adjustable Activity Table in Maple for home use -- it's more expensive than the usual lightweight, all-plastic kid chairs/stools, but looks so much better and is worth it if you have more than 1 kid who will be able to use it. A keeper.
very Sturdy
Olendu from richmond, TX – Verified Buyer– Top 1000 Reviewer
already put together, very sturdy and does not leave marks on the floor
Built well
Cliss from Minnesota
It is not exactly what I expected. The styles must have changed from when we ordered this brand of chair a few years ago . They built well and are very sturdy. The plastic ball on the foot of the chair helps so the chair doesn't scratch the floor.
Exactly what we needed and expected!
Mt. Airy from Mount Airy, GA – Verified Buyer
Sturdy, colorful....love the ball-feature on the legs
Perfect for what we needed.
Sarah from Tucson, AZ – Verified Buyer
The kids love their new chairs.
Great chair
Terri from Roanoke – Verified Buyer
These chairs are perfect for the little ones in our church. The colors are vibrant and the chairs are sturdy. I like the touch of color from the nylon ball glides.

Not a five star at all ! But very clean , food average and recycled a lot which made mad ill one night as it wasn't fresh !
Waiting staff very grumpy and it was an effort for them to have a smile and chat ! They need to be trained on how to open wine and pour it, they haven't got a clue it ended up being splashed into glass and on table !
Restaurant very echoey and noisy as very big . Sun beds uncomfortable could do with soft padding to be attached !
As you can see if it was a five star these issues would be addressed !
Would not use pestanas again. Drinks in bar were expensive two coffees 5.50 euros only 2.60 in town !
Reception staff were pleasant and the only ones with a smile .
I would definitely use fleetway travel our experience was good,nice transfer pick ups and good communication , just a little let down on price for hotel , we paid less for all inclusive in lanzarote with cosmos. This holiday was not good value for money considering the service and being half board aswell !

Batman: Arkham City (Review)Submitted by Vastet on December 13, 2011 - 12:53pm.
Summary: Third person melee action adventure game. Based in a portion of Gotham City, in the DC universe. Featuring Batman, with add on content featuring Catwoman and Robin/Nightwing.
Controls: One of the most intuitive and responsive games out there, but the sheer number of options in a fight tend to mean you stick with your favourites in order to prevent "deer in headlights" syndrome (what do I hit him with next? Oh shit I died..).
The graphics in this game are top notch. I never noticed a single clipping problem, or any graphical artifacts. Settings and person's look as real as one can expect from a comic setting.
The sound is similarly excellent. Voice acting generally provided by the actors from the cartoon in the mid 90's is on cue and well performed.
The setting is Arkham City, a walled off section of Gotham designed to replace Arkham Asylum. As Bruce Wayne you are thrown inside, and begin the task of attempting to discover who is doing what, and what the ultimate purpose of the city is.
Merry Whatever...Submitted by Louis_Cypher on December 12, 2011 - 11:35am.
Let's examine the story of the birth of jesus, shall we?
Luke 2:1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
Luke 2:2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
Matthew 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
This neatly frames the timeline of the events preceding the birth of jesus. He was born after the census of Cyrenius and during the last years of the reign of Herod the Great. It is clear, concise and unequivocal, it is also historically impossible.
Here are the facts, Herod the Great, died in the year 4 BCE.
Cyrenius became Governor of Syria in the year 6 CE, partly due to Herod's death.
If you accept the part of the story that tells us that Joseph packed up the pregnant mizzus and made the trip to Bethlehem because of the census decreed by Cyrenius, then the parts about Herod, particularly the 'slaughter of the innocents', wherein Herod ordered every child under age 2 in the region to be killed become absurd. Since Herod was dead at least ten years past, the slaughter story, the wise men from the east, indeed, the reason for Joseph and family to high tail it to Egypt at all disappears in a 'poof' of reality.
Sheep Herders and Cat Wrangling, is Atheism a ReligionSubmitted by Louis_Cypher on December 8, 2011 - 1:12pm.
Here is a definition of Religion drawn straight from that bastion of veracity and impartiality, Wikipedia.
"…a collection of cultural systems, belief systems, and worldviews that establishes symbols that relate humanity to spirituality and, sometimes, to moral values. Many religions have narratives, symbols, traditions and sacred histories that are intended to give meaning to life or to explain the origin of life or the universe. They tend to derive morality, ethics, religious laws or a preferred lifestyle from their ideas about the cosmos and human nature."
Or perhaps the Dictionary which assures us that Religion is "... a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs. a specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects: i.e., the Christian religion; the Buddhist religion."
What then, is Atheism? (from Wikipedia) "...Atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities. In a narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities. Most inclusively, atheism is simply the absence of belief that any deities exist."
Miss Manners don't live here anymore...Submitted by Louis_Cypher on December 7, 2011 - 3:51pm.
Once, long ago when I was working as a paramedic out of Fitzsimmons Army Med center in Denver, we got a call for an O.D. coincidentally in my apartment complex. When we arrived we found a girl, about 20, lying on the floor with the tell tale white froth on her lips. We went to work and I ripped open her blouse, cut up through her bra with my trusty scissors and initiated CPR. The girl hit the cosmic lottery, and we got her back.
A few days later, my commander called me in and informed me that the Mother had filed a complaint against my partner and I because we had 'exposed' her daughter... (he got our side of the story, and tossed the complaint in the round filing cabinet). I saw the girl on a daily basis, and I gotta say, she WAS hot... but to this day, I can't remember what she looked like 'exposed'...I had other things on my mind than 'boobies!'
I see a lot of complaints that us skeptics aren't polite... that we tend to be unfair and quick to judge 'alternate' ideas as bullshit... and say so.
A lot of 'alternate' ideas are simply dangerous. If not in themselves, then in the fact that they take time away from legitimate and effective solutions. Homeopathy... if it were just quacks peddling pure water as a pick me up...I'd just snigger and let it pass. But it's a case of desperate people wasting valuable time on utterly useless treatments.
There is no way of knowing how many have died from pursuing 'alternate' cures. Homeopathy, Orgone Therapy, Prayer, Faith Healing and other types of quackery.
Fluid MoralitySubmitted by Louis_Cypher on December 6, 2011 - 1:42am.
I've been having the usual running discussion over the issue of Objective versus Subjective morality with a young lad on another venue.
Oh, to be young and convinced that mine was the one true way to view the world, and if I just repeat myself often enough, everyone will SEE that I'm right...
Here's how I see it.
Morality is a set of cultural definitions, most if not all of which can be and are changed as the culture itself changes.
Our current set of values, which seem so true and right to us are merely the most recent iteration...
I brought up the subject of racism, noting that in my youth, it was a deeply ingrained moral value that blacks and whites should not marry, so deeply a part of the common psyche, that there were laws written to prevent it...
The lad tried to argue that it was all an aberration, not a moral thing at all... I pointed out that he was viewing it all in a subjective moral hindsight, a sort of ad hoc moral objectivism. After all, he reasons, if it's wrong now, it was always actually wrong. The majority of the folk I grew up with would beg to differ...
I remember those times, I was a child of them and those values were hard to shake.
Slavery is wrong. I believe that to the core of my being.
Beyond and Beyond.Submitted by Sage_Override on December 3, 2011 - 9:28am.
There are a lot of articles I read, speeches I listen to, experts with motivational quotes that I examine that are designed to hit hard at reality and get us thinking and many scientific discoveries made every day that continue to make me delve deeper and deeper into my psyche. I try to expand every aspect of how I think and learn in any way that I can; well, sans harmful drugs, of course. For me, learning is one of the most important aspects of the human condition and those that come to this realization strive to make us all understand that.
Sometimes, however, there are some aspects of ourselves that may never be understood even through the most thoroughly organized data, tireless research and hair-pulling questions that we grapple with all the time. We can't possibly know everything; of course, theists would explain that that's when you plug a god into that gap and your worries are over. Every one here that disbelieves understands that when you cast aside your brain to a figment of man, you surrender your existence. Everything dealing with what people consider gods are centuries of limited understanding coming back to haunt us in a modern society, plain and simple. Men wrote every holy book on Earth due to observations around them and when they couldn't explain it, they invented supernatural characteristics to feed the need of knowing. What we have now is separation, confusion, disorder, violence and social disillusionment.

StatementSubmitted by Louis_Cypher on December 2, 2011 - 1:26pm.
Religion is superstition writ large, fear of the outer darkness made manifest. Assuaging the unearned guilt with false forgiveness and seeking comfort in emptiness. The lazy mind has no need of questions, filled as it is with spoon fed certainties. Faith is the light that blinds.
And, those of us who have thrown off the shackles of superstition, do we ever fear?
I've seen over and over the act of dieing, and it fills me with some small dread, yet, that which comes after has no horror, because it is the same as what came before… Simple non being.
The universe holds abundant wonders and nature alone is worthy of awe. I am an atheist. LC >;-}>
I need no mouldering tome of savage tales to guide me, only reason.
I need no fantasy forgiveness for my offenses, no reward for the good things I have done, they have all made me who I am, and I would not change them.
The Posibility of ImpossibilitySubmitted by Louis_Cypher on December 1, 2011 - 12:50pm.

Was Jesus Good? The Charlotte's Web connection...Submitted by Louis_Cypher on November 30, 2011 - 4:07pm.
About Charlotte's Web, from Wikipedia "The novel tells the story of a pig named Wilbur and his friendship with a barn spider named Charlotte. When Wilbur is in danger of being slaughtered by the farmer, Charlotte writes messages praising Wilbur (such as "Some Pig" ) in her web in order to persuade the farmer to let him live."
We've been told all our lives about how 'good', 'perfect' and 'without sin' jesus was said to be. The truth is, we don't know because the four pamphlets that comprise his only biography are at best sketchy about his personal life and decidedly slanted for the public view. He may have been (if he existed at all) a pretty good guy. Or, he may have been given to banging two shekel hookers by the dozen while swilling his own miraculous wine and performing the epic 'pull my finger' miracle for the boys... we just don't know.
Let's see how 'good' Jesus was.
"Luke (2:43-49) When Jesus' parents begin the long trip back to Nazareth, the twelve year old Jesus stays behind, without asking their permission. Mary and Joseph search for him for three days and when they finally find him, Jesus doesn't apologize. Rather, he blames them for not knowing that he was doing his father's business."
I don't know about you guys, but if one of my kids, at 12 had disappeared for 3 days, 'good boy' wouldn't have been one of my descriptives. Thoughtless, arrogant, and narcissistic all come to mind.
And how about this?
It has to be blood...Submitted by Louis_Cypher on November 30, 2011 - 4:03pm.
The priest holds the heart of the victim dripping blood up to the gods as an offering, an appeasement. They believed that this act would bring the rains, make the crops grow, make the land and the people prosperous. Other cultures such as the early Canaanites would offer up their children to their god, burning them on a ritual fire. The Celts favored fire as well, burning criminals in huge constructs called 'wicker men'. The Etrusions, the Minoans, the Gauls, even the Romans believed that the gods could be swayed by the offering of human life. We shake our heads at the barbarity, the cruelty of these acts.
Sometimes we make them into a cliche, a joke... the cartoon of a group of Islanders about to toss a girl into a volcano with a caption "Wait!, I'm NOT a virgin, ask Mobimbo, ask Huwali, ask...." We shake our heads and marvel at the primative and superstitious nature of these murderous beliefs.
Unless of course, we are talking about the human sacrifice that is the root of our most prominent western religion, Christianity. Then it becomes a beautiful and moving act. One that essays, books, even entire careers have been built around, extolling the virtue of a death on a Roman torture device. A favorite of the artist, thousands of paintings have lovingly detailed the blood and gore, the sense of suffering. Millions of little children wear the image of this near naked man hanging in torment, dieing on a torture device, around their necks.

Director Luchino Visconti presents the Don's dilemma in a very subtle, intimate, closely observed film.

It was on TV this weekend and I must say it's one of the best films I've ever seen -- on a number of different levels.

25 years later, Corbin Bernsen reflects on "Major League"
It's hard to believe that the classic baseball comedy, "Major League," is 25-years-old. Filmed largely in Milwaukee, everyone here of a "certain age" seems to have a story to tell about the making of the movie.
Actor Corbin Bernsen has many stories to share. He played Indians third baseman Roger Dorn in the film, and he's in Milwaukee tonight for a reunion of sorts. At 7 p.m. tonight, he'll make an appearance at the Milwaukee Admirals game, signing autographs on the 200 level of the BMO Harris Bradley Center.
In this podcast, we caught up with Bernsen to talk about the filming of "Major League," his memories of Milwaukee, Charlie Sheen, and what he's working on now. Bernsen said he wants to see all the extras at the game tonight to stand up and sing "Wild Thing."
Calling all Milwaukee extras who were in the stadium for the big scenes - I want to see you tomorrow night at Admirals game for a Reunion!
— Corbin Bernsen (@corbinbernsen) April 8, 2014
And Bernsen said he's seen a script for "Major League 4." He discussed it all here.
Photodavie | April 9, 2014 at 7:29 a.m. (report)
Corbin... I hope your head is ok! That was quite a fall you took last night.

7 less obvious reasons I love Brewers Spring Training
Published March 19, 2015
My 18th annual Brewers Spring Training trip is now complete, and I'm back in chilly Milwaukee, which actually feels a little better after a few days under the beating hot sun of the desert. This trip was a good one. A really good one. New experiences, old friends and lots and lots of baseball. But you probably know about all that if you read my blog entries this week.
Getaway day: behind the scenes, behind the plate
Published March 18, 2015
When I left off yesterday, I was feeling tan, rested and ready for baseball, and we made the 30-minute drive from Talking Stick Resort to Peoria Stadium a little before noon. Brewers fans were out in force for the game against the Padres. St. Patty's Day revelry was in full effect.
The off day: St. Patrick's Day Eve in Scottsdale
Published March 17, 2015
I've said this before, but sometimes Spring Training feels a lot like the movie "Groundhog Day." Events, games and trips tend to run together, because with only a few variations, you're basically doing the same thing every day (and of course, that's a very good thing). But yesterday, we did something that we've only done one other time in 18 years: we didn't go to a Brewers game.
Back in the swing of things
Published March 16, 2015
When you've been awake for 24 consecutive hours, due to an early flight, a time change and the excitement of an 18th consecutive Spring Training trip to Arizona, it's understandable to make a few bad decisions. Fortunately, the only one I regret is that humungous carne asada burrito from Filiberto's at 2 a.m. Mountain Standard Time, before collapsing into a few hours of sleep at the Talking Stick Resort here in Scottsdale.
6 things I'm looking for at Spring Training
Published March 10, 2015
Every year - since 1998 - I've made the trip to Arizona to watch the Brewers get ready for a long, long season of baseball. It's my favorite work/fun trip (edging out even Las Vegas) that I get to take, but with all the fun and sun in the desert, it's surprisingly easy to forget to pay attention to the baseball on the field.

We caught up with Wachs to talk tornados, technology, and what it was like to dress up as a clown at his last job.
Brewers spring training guide, 2015
Published March 4, 2015
When Brewers fans talk to me about Spring Training, I always see the same look in their eyes. "I've always wanted to do that," they say wistfully, like Arizona exists in some far-away land, where you sit right next to the field and talk to the players in between in innings. Well, actually, most of that's true. Except for the far-away land part.
7 Bar Month cocktails to take your mind off winter
Published Feb. 18, 2015
Doctors are very clear with their warnings that alcohol will not warm you up in the dead of winter. So, obviously, unless you have a Saint Bernard with a little flask of brandy, you should not drink to thaw yourself out during these subzero temperatures in Milwaukee right now. You may, however, drink to take your mind off winter. And it being Bar Month, we tracked down some excellent cocktail recipes from our sponsor brands.
Brains and beauty: Accountant moonlights as Milwaukee model

"I'd rather be known for brains than beauty," says Leahy, who is also a successful part-time model. "I should have been a boy," she says, nuzzling her dog in her chic Downtown condo. "I like cars, sports and sex."
Special feature: Does Milwaukee TV have a weather obsession?
Published Feb. 9, 2015
As we trudge through another winter, thinking we've got it the worst - and we hear about it the most on TV - industry insiders say that's not quite right. Everyone, everywhere complains about their city's weather and its weather coverage. Yet for the most part, every TV station reports on it the same way. Here's an in-depth look at the changing face of Milwaukee weather.

After suffering a 'perfect storm' in 2005, company officials steer new course
GTSI shake-up signals renewed services push
GTSI, a bellwether of the government information technology market, has been struggling to find a business model that will allow it to shake recent financial challenges. It is trying to shift from its old role as a reseller and become an IT services provider.
The company has discussed services for several years, but under the new leadership of Jim Leto, who became GTSI's president and chief executive officer earlier this year, company executives say it is successfully making the transition.
GTSI plans to concentrate on IT solutions and "let others fight it out for the direct sales market and [its] very low margins," Leto said.
"In most cases, large commodity buys are not part of solving a problem for the government," he said. Because much of GTSI's business was already in solutions that combine products and services, "we decided, not only are we in the solutions business, but we're going to make it the cornerstone of everything that we do."
The move was not unexpected. Some observers predicated a new direction for the company when Leto succeeded Dendy Young as president and CEO in February. Leto had spent three years as CEO at the consulting firm Robbins-Gioia.
Mark Amtower, founding partner of Amtower and Co., called Young the master of the traditional reseller channel in the government market. But Leto "is better equipped to develop services," he said.
GTSI's new business plan calls for migrating from a vendor-led fulfillment business to a customer-focused solutions business by 2007, dropping low-margin commodity products in favor of high-margin differentiated solutions.
Leto said the cornerstones of the business strategy include becoming a systems aggregator that sells solutions and commercial products and winning high-margin deals with flexible financing terms.
Leto said 2005 was an unmitigated disaster that prompted him to take the reins of the 23-year-old government vendor in February.
He blamed the company's dramatic decline last year on the failure of the earlier strategy and on government procurement changes. In addition, he said, Hewlett-Packard, an important supplier for GTSI, started selling directly to federal agencies, costing GTSI some $70 million in revenue.
At the same time, he said, the former management team decided to seek greater market share and double the size of the company by 2007. The plan called for implementing a market-based pricing model and a pledge not to be undersold by anybody. Management significantly increased the sales force from about 700 in 2004 to 950 in 2005. It also installed an end-to-end, state-of-the-art PeopleSoft enterprise resource planning (ERP) system that proved troublesome.
"All this was happening at the same time — a perfect storm," Leto said. The confluence of factors led to a backup of 10,000 orders, angry customers and high employee turnover. He said the purchasing department experienced a 165 percent turnover and the company as a whole had a 55 percent turnover.
In addition, GTSI's bankers decided not to renew its revolving credit.
In June GTSI entered into an agreement with Bank of America and Sun Trust Bank for a $125 million credit line and $10 million in subordinated debt.
The company also hired Joseph Ragan as vice president of finance and corporate controller to take charge of all accounting functions, credit and collections, and other company finances.
"As of last week, we had $145 million credit facility, more than enough to get us through this year, next year and probably years to come," Leto said. "It speaks volumes of the banks' confidence in our ability to survive as a company."
"In the first two months we were here, we took our aged receivables down to the $10 million level, which is an acceptable level," he said. "As a result of that, we paid down a $58 million [revolving debt] so that at the end of May, we had zero debt on our balance sheet."
Leto said GTSI has restored its top-rated green status as highly qualified to recompete for its two biggest contracts.
GTSI's moves seem to please investors and analysts. The NASDAQ-listed stock was trading last week at just under $8 a share, close to its 12-month high of $8.80.
Brian Kinstlinger, an analyst at small-cap equity research firm Sidoti and Co. in New York, welcomed the company's cost-cutting measures and acknowledged that the reseller model wasn't going to pull the company out of its financial troubles.
"I would prefer to see the company do half the revenue and twice the profits," Kinstlinger said.

Agreed on the username thing. I have a bad habit of signing up with this name (that dates back to when I was 13, and thought intentionally misspelling icy looked cool for aesthetic reasons) when I don't plan on posting much if at all, and then I end up becoming a regular. And then I look illiterate. Not to mention being named after an ointment.

Marisa Paternoster is god. I last saw Screaming Females in 2010 and they were a tight knit, well-rehearsed act. Tonight at the Eagle Rock Center for the Arts, they were a band that sounded like they were playing to a stadium. Marisa doesn't sing into the mic; she sings at it. As she yelps, she pushes it around with her face, like a crazed animal forever chasing a toy. When she steps back and plays guitar, my god. The woman is one of the most impressive guitar players I've ever seen. She is technically skilled, but also has a great way of putting melodies into her solos and tying them both into the rest of the band and the song itself. The new stuff from Ugly was particularly forceful. Doom 84, which stretched to nearly 10 minutes, was a huge hulking guitar workout, channeling Sabbath and Zeppelin at their best. I was dumbfounded most of the set watching the band force their energy on the crowd and each other. I can't say enough about how much I love them, and if they keep getting better at the rate they are, they will take over the world. Go see them if they're in your town.

A replica of the ill-fated Titanic has been causing a storm sailing the waters of Louisiana.
Mark Koch (52) purchased the replica of the Belfast-built ship on Ebay for $9,000. Built in the 1980s, by Pat and Cecil Gates, the vessel is 23 feet length, 5 feet wide, 9 feet tall and weighs nearly 2000 pounds.
Koch caused quite a stir recently when he went for an early morning cruise down in southeastern Louisiana. When the boat hit Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, where two bridges run parallel, passing rush hour traffic slowed down to admire the replica, causing traffic mayhem.
"It induced one heck of a traffic backup this morning," Causeway general manager Carlton Dufrechous told WWLTV News.
"I'd like to meet the gentleman behind it, but I would also ask him to take it out on the water sometime other than rush hour."
Knoch late told Nola.com that while he thought motorists would enjoy seeing the boat, he didn't expect drivers to stop their cars.
"I didn't do it to piss anybody off," Koch said. "Maybe I made one pass too many. I won't do it again. I promise."
When he purchased the boat around five years ago and drove it back from Philadelphia, he got the same reaction from motorists.
"The whole way home it was the same pattern: People slowing down, taking pictures," he said.
Koch intends to take his family to Washington DC for a cruise on the Potomac River in the coming weeks.

Looking for Fragrant Easy Hoyas & Beginner Tips
Hi there,
I grow lots of African Violets and in a separate room I have a grouping of houseplants. Things were getting overcrowded and stretching for light so I decided to cull some plants (really I just took cuttings) and added some light. I plant to be adding more light later on as well.
I've had one Hoya from the big box store that has been a breeze to care for, although it has never bloomed, I've been so happy with it always looking nice that I'd like to try a couple more now that I'm adding brighter light to my set-up.
So my questions are:
If I get fluorescent tubes, what kind should I get, how many, how close to the plants?
What varieties would be scented but also good for a novice Hoya grower?
Any yellow or orange blossomed ones? I thought I might even try to get one scented, one yellow or orange.
Hi PC101,
Hoyas ARE great! You can't beat them for growing well in normal home conditions. Most are very un-fussy. I will leave the lighting questions to others who grow under lights as I grow mine either in my little GH or in my windows, which mostly face east and west.
But as for an easy-to-grow species with yellow flowers, a good one is H. vanuatuensis. The foliage isn't spectacular like some of them, but the flowers are lovely and it blooms at a young age...
And a good one for easy flowering and very fragrant is H. verticillata...
Those would be my nominations!
Denise in Omaha
Okay great thanks Denise! Those are very pretty. So now I just need an idea of what kind of light they would want.
I love these suggestions, where do you think I should look for these varieties? I know for African Violets there are better vendors than others...also, can Hoyas ship in the winter or should I wait to purchase in the spring?
Most Hoyas thrive best in east windows. I grow mine hanging as close to the glass as possible, but because I grow so many, quite a few grow back a ways, so bright indirect light is fine. They'll bloom a little sooner if given a bit of direct sun, but too much can sunburn them or give them a washed-out look.
Good sources include SRQ Hoyas (cuttings only), Gardino's Nursery and some of the eBay vendors (I'll let others specifiy good eBay vendors...)
Denise in Omaha
> I've had one Hoya from the big box store that has been a breeze to care for, although it has never bloomed.
Let me guess. Hoya Carnosa? :-) The most popular one by far, but relatively stingy with blooms. Sources I've seen say it needs good light and needs to be around 3 years of age before it blooms. Mine has lived with me for just over 2 years, but soggy soil and lack of light for a while set it back, I suspect. Now that both those things have been corrected, it is shooting a long shoot pretty fast, so I am glad things are moving. I do not expect flowers for a couple more years though.
> If I get fluorescent tubes, what kind should I get, how many, how close to the plants?
T5 high output fluorescent fixtures are pretty much the thing for fluorescents. There is a LOT of debate about other lamp types MAYBE being better, with some people religiously defending some types (LEDs primarily). LEDs are more expensive and relatively new, so I went with the tried and true T5HOs. The top fixture in the picture is four 4-foot long bulbs. The bottom picture is 2 bulbs, but that was only because of the depth constraints of the shelf unit, otherwise I would have gotten another 4-bulb one. I've gotten a TON of new growth with these lights. Things are growing even now in the winter, which is really nice, 'cause I need the entertainment. I recommend this kind of setup, no comparison with results on my shady window sills.
> What varieties would be scented but also good for a novice Hoya grower?
Check out this list: http://srqhoyas.com/GUIDELINES. Denise mentioned this site, and I've bought cuttings from her (Joni) and am extremely satisfied. I bought 12 cuttings first, then 18 more. 100% of them are alive. You can buy cuttings by name, or you can buy cheaper "bundles" (http://srqhoyas.com/CUTTINGS/BUNDLES), and in the comments specify roughly what kinds you'd like.
> Any yellow or orange blossomed ones? I thought I might even try to get one scented, one yellow or orange.
See if Joni can take these instructions - or choose from her pictures if you definitely want to have particular hoya kinds.
I've bought several cuttings from Denise as well. Denise, they are all doing fine, by the way - australis ssp australis is full of roots but lacunosa is definitely taking its sweet time just like you warned me. It looks great above ground though, so I am not worried.
> can Hoyas ship in the winter or should I wait to purchase in the spring?
You should mention in your profile which agricultural zone you are in. It's helpful in replying to questions like this one and also to understand people's comments in context of their plant culture.
Hoyas have different temperature tolerances, but I would not subject them to under-50 temps in shipping if I could help it. Joni and other sellers can include a heat pack, but that is not a guarantee. I'd wait till spring or consult the seller you are considering.
This post was edited by greentoe357 on Fri, Jan 3, 14 at 12:24
I just received some Hoyas from cowboyflowerman on ebay (they were sent to me as a Christmas gift!). Even though my area is currently suffering ridiculously cold temps (temp was -8 F this morning), the hoyas don't seem to have been damaged in any way. I would say that if they are sent via Priority mail, you pay for a heat pack, and you are sure someone will be around to receive the package immediately when it comes to you so the plants aren't sitting outside on the porch, you could probably get away with ordering plants even in winter. I wouldn't order more than you can afford to lose though since it is riskier than ordering during the warm months.
> Any suggestions on where to get t5 lights?
The places I got them at are now too expensive, as I see. Do a search on Google Shopping (http://goo.gl/myN6al) or ebay or amazon. They come most commonly in 2-ft and 4-ft lengths and 2-, 4-, 6- and 8-bulb widths.
