"In looking for something that best suits the idea that I had for a 2 year old. This was it. I only wish there was a little glitter on the cup or the bear. I used all of the same colors but played around with the fonts a bit to make it a bit more fun. I loved this!"
"Love this invitation! I was looking for a princess themed product for my daughter's third birthday party. Beautiful thick paper. I liked that this one had a good bit of room for my text. I bought the extra scalloped edges and love how it turned out. I have received several complements. Quick shipping."
"As always, prompt service, beautiful cards and a happy customer. This one is particular is super cute and am so happy with the quality. Thanks Tiny Prints!"
"My first impression of the invitation was the nice paper quality. It's thick and the flat finish absorbed the colors beautifully-- so they are true to what you see online. I tend to be drawn to simpler designs and this one was a perfect fit of cute without looking messy. I also like the way my picture cropped into the space provided."
"These invites turned out really well. Using a blurry natural background in the photo with the subject off center to the right helps. I was surprised by how few such photos I had! If you mimic the sample photo it will turn out great. The paper is nice and thick, good quality and the print was excellent. You can customize the color and size of all the text except for 'It's a Party' and I wished I could have changed the colors there too."

Johnson Grass contains cyanide??
Last week I was looking up info about black cherry trees
being poisonous to cattle. I found what I was looking for.
But I also found this. According to the page below,
Johnson Grass is poisonous to cattle until it is well cured.
I asked my friend/neighbor that raises cows about this
and he told me cows love Johnson Grass and it was wrong.
Can someone explain the descreptancy between
what I read and what I was told?
Leaves and stems possess cyanide. The young shoots are the most toxic, and when wilted or frost-damaged, cyanide becomes readily available in the leaves. Nitrates can also accumulate in johnsongrass. Well-cured hay is relatively safe for animal consumption as mature plants have much lower toxicity.
University of Missouri Extension - Plants Poisonous to Livestock.
And what about the Polk Salad it mentions.
Fence rows here are overgrown with the stuff.
Common pokeweed (Phytolacca americana)
Poisonous part
All parts, especially roots and seeds.
Irritant effects due to phytolaccigenin are salivation, abdominal pain and diarrhea. In rare cases where large doses are consumed, animals may show anemia and alterations in heart rate and respiration.

What was written about Jonson grass is true. I think I might be inclined to keep cattle off a pasture if that is the principle grass growing in it, after a frost gets the young grass, for at least a week, maybe longer. As written, I don't think hay, if well cured, would be a problem. I think it is more toxic for horses than for cattle, but can also affect cattle, if eaten at the wrong times. It is one of the grasses that, in general, is not a problem, but which can become one. I think, because it's only sometimes a problem, people get complacent and start to disbelieve. And, once it gets into a field, it's hard to get out, due to its growth habits, and can crowd out other grasses. It is also a fast growing grass, so offers a lot of feed value quickly - if you discount the toxicity.
Red maple leaves, when wilted, are toxic to horses because of the cyanide they develop. I think a couple of the other maples can be toxic as well. I don't knw about their affect on cattle, but imagine it affects them as well. Fresh are fine, it's only as they wilt...
Wilted wild cherries are also known to be toxic to horses. I believe that the "abortion storm" that hit the Tb breeding farms in KY a few years ago was caused by broodmares ingesting tent caterpillars that had been eating wild cherry, but may be misremembering - it was a couple of years ago, and I don't have brodmares, so only noted it in passing, so to speak.
Most grazing animals won't eat pokeweed, as far as I know, although birds love the berries. If there was little else to eat in a field, then it might become a problem. I think I would do what I could to limit its presence in any fields I had access to.
As I recall Poke becomes much more toxic after frost. There is wide variation between opinions on poke. Some folk say that one should never eat it (human consumption). Others counter with statements like "Grandma had to have her poke salad every spring and she lived to 102!" Our neighbors have it growing all over their fields and I've seen them graze horses over there for months at a time, with almost no attention. They've never lost a horse. But we do try to eliminate it in our fields.
I wouldn't know young Johnson Grass if I saw it.
I know when it gets tall the tops get seedy.
Never seen a cow eat poke weed. They ignore the stuff.
The only reason it gets cut is to keep the fence rows cleared.
I remember when I was a little kid picking the stuff
for my Grandmother to cook. I couldn't stand the stuff.
Pooh Bear
Johnson grass is a warm season grass and usually doesn't start to make an appearance until after frost in the spring. It's just now starting to show itself on bare ground in Central KY. There is no problem in letting your stock graze this grass until frost, early to middle October here. Johnson grass makes excellent summer pasture and hay. It should be good for something since it's rather noxious in row crops and gardens....
Just before frost my husband goes out and anywhere there's a stand of Johnson Grass he cuts with the disc mower or haybine. That way you cut before the frost and there's no chance of the prussic acid forming.
Sorghums also develop this acid upon frosts so if you are raising any for hay or grazing you want to take the same precautions.
Just a reminder too, Taxus shrubs are deadly to cattle. Be extra careful where you dispose of this shrubs trimmings.
Dibbit is right about the eastern tent catepillar..
We had a day long seminar just a month ago about it, and the reason the horses died from the catepillars is because of the spines on the catepillar. Something about they got stuck in the intestines, I should have paid more attention, but they were the cause of death & abortion. Somehow they could either pass to the fetus or affected it in some way.
Last year we had an epidemic with these catepillars, and in some areas were so numerous they covered roads, & cars slid off the roads due to the slime, yuck. I heard that some farms were covered with them.
They are cyclic, but we expect more this year again.
I didn't have a problem, but now have Guineas so I am hoping they will eat everything that moves...

This NIST graphic, taken from the new draft security reference architecture, illustrates the capabilities of cloud computing in various contexts.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has published a draft document outlining security for cloud computing in the federal government.
In 2010, then-Federal CIO Vivek Kundra asked NIST to help accelerate the adoption of cloud computing. NIST released its "Cloud Computing Reference Architecture" the next year, which created a standard framework for cloud computing in the federal government.
The newly published draft, the "NIST Cloud Computing Security Reference Architecture," is a hefty supplement to that document. It outlines a comprehensive security model for cloud computing at the federal level and provides a layer of security to the "NIST Cloud Computing Reference Architecture."
NIST reports progress on cyber framework
It was written by the NIST Cloud Computing Public Security Working Group as part of a priority action plan set out in NIST's roadmap for cloud computing technology.
"The document's objective is to demystify the process of selecting cloud-based services that best address an agency's requirements in the most secure and efficient manner," said Michaela Iorga, NIST Cloud Computing Security Working Group chair, in an announcement of the new draft.
The "NIST Cloud Computing Security Reference Architecture" introduces a cloud-based risk management framework, which will help federal organizations create a security plan based on how sensitive an organization's information is and its level of risk tolerance.
The draft also includes a case study that follows an agency's implementation of the Risk Management Framework in deploying a typical application to the cloud.
"The Risk Management Framework has to be adapted when applying the risk-based approach to applications or systems migrated to the cloud because the implementation, assessment, authorization and monitoring of selected security controls may fall under the responsibility of different cloud 'actors;' for example, consumer, service provider or broker," said Iorga.
The draft is now online, and the agency is seeking public comment. Feedback should be sent to Iorga at firstname.lastname@example.com by July 12.
Video Bonus: Vivek Kundra, speaking in 2010 at a NIST-organized forum on cloud computing.

Tesco scraps trading profit outlook as sales fall
Tesco has scrapped its full-year trading profit outlook as its domestic sales fell sharply in the second quarter of this year.
Results announced this morning showed underlying UK sales own 5.5% over the period.
The group said last month it had overstated its first-half profit forecast by £250 million pounds, but the group said on Thursday this had now risen to £263 million.
Tesco chairman Sir Richard Broadbent to step down
Tesco chairman Sir Richard Broadbent has announced he is stepping down from his role.

Tesco profits overstated by £263m
Tesco has announced that it overstated its profits for the first half of the year by £263m, slightly higher than the £250m originally estimated when the company was hit by an accounting scandal.
ITV News Economic Editor Richard Edgar is following developments.
Tesco confirms it overstated profits by £263 million (a bit more than we were told before). profits halved compared with year before.
Five of the company's executives have been suspended over the issue and city regulators are investigating what went on.

Chief executive Dave Lewis said the suspensions were not disciplinary but would enable a "full and frank" investigation.
Tesco half-year group trading profits at £937m
Tesco has announced group trading profits of £937m for the first half of this year.

Tesco suspends fifth executive over profit probe
Tesco has suspended another executive as financial regulators investigate how the supermarket overstated profits by £250m.
The Financial Times reports that commercial director Kevin Grace has become the latest senior figure to be suspended.
Four senior executives, including UK managing director Chris Bush, were asked to step aside two weeks ago when Tesco revealed that its most recent profits warning to the City in August was much too optimistic.
The company's new chief executive, Dave Lewis, has stressed that the suspensions are not a disciplinary matter, but are designed to enable a "full and frank" investigation into the profit warning.
Tesco 'will co-operate fully' with FCA probe
Supermarket giant Tesco says it will "co-operate fully" with the investigation by the Financial Conduct Authority into how it overstated first half-year profits by £250m.
"Tesco will continue to co-operate fully with the Financial Conduct Authority and other relevant authorities considering this matter," the company said in a statement today.

Tesco-owned Homeplus in data leak probe in S Korea
An investigation has been launched into allegations Tesco-owned Homeplus in South Korea sold customer information to insurance companies.
Former and current executives of Homeplus, which has more than 400 stores in South Korea, have been asked to remain in the country while investigations continue.
It has been reported that the information was collected during in-store prize giveaways and sold to insurance companies for millions of pounds.
A Tesco spokesperson said: "We can confirm our South Korean business, Homeplus is under investigation regarding the handling of customer data. "We take the protection of our customers' data extremely seriously and are co-operating with the investigation."

BARRE A Berlin teen is facing charges after allegedly having sex with a 14-year-old girl.
Kevin A. Taft, 18, pleaded not guilty in Washington County criminal court Thursday to felony lewd and lascivious conduct with a child and furnishing alcohol to a minor. If convicted he faces a maximum sentence of 17 years and a $7,000 fine.
According to the Vermont State Police affidavit, Taft met the girl while they were attending U-32 High School. State police say the girl would sneak out of her parents home in May and June and would be picked up by Taft in his truck. The two would then either go back to Tafts home or to his parents camp on Lake Elmore.
On one occasion, state police say, Taft gave the girl a beer and during at least one tryst the two had intercourse, although the exact date was not specified.
Police say Taft admitted to the acts, as well as giving the girl a Plan B contraceptive pill the day after they had sex.
He was released without bail Thursday.MORE IN This Just InGov. Peter Shumlin chats with Vermont Press Bureau chief Neal P.

Need quick professional advice
Well it's a long story so I'll get to the point. I'm going back to college for a degree in photography. I need to make some very quick decisions on equipment. I am ordering a Canon 7D but have to decide on lenses and a tripod. It's seems like I'm trying to buy a car before I even know how to drive! The degree will focus on wedding and portrait photography. (My heart is in nature and landscape but the college doesn't offer a degree like that.)
I've come to realize that each professional has their own style and preference but I need some guidance. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
If I sound desperate ... I am! LOL
Thank you!
Wedding and portrait photography will have many indoor situations with low level lighting. There will be some outdoor shots, but again the subjects will be nearby, not distant scenes. Indoors, there will be times when all the subjects can not be fitted into the frame at normal focal lenght, therefore a shorter focal length is needed.
[All focal lengths will be referenced to 35 mm format. Adjustents must be made for other formats (film or sensor size).]
On the short end, I have found that 35 mm is ok for 75% of the shots, but 28 mm is better. However, there will be unwanted perspective distortion of subects close to the lense at 28 mm.
Normal length is 50 to 55 mm. A 2/1 telephoto ( about 100 mm) can make flatering portraits.
You'd like to cover everything with one good zoom lense to eliminate the need to change lenses, however, practicalities of lens design set limits. If you chose a 28 to 135 mm lense, this would be alost a 5 to 1 zoom. The lense opneing (f-stops) fall off as you zoom out and you might find the lense too slow for indoor work. Also, at 35 mm format, a practical zoom range is 3/1. Two lenses are needed to cover the range of 28 mm to 135 mm.
For 2 lenses, i suggest:
1. 28 to 80 mm
2. 50 to 150 mm.
If you can only afford 1 lense, then choose:
1. 35 to 105 mm.
For class work, you will need at minimum 1 camera body. But for professional wedding duty, you will need more than one camera. Why? If one camera fails, you need an immediate backup, and it should be on your person. You can not afford to miss that "once in a lifetime" shot. You'll never hear the end of it from your client.
You will be able to cover almost all situations with two camera: one with a 28 to 80 mm lense and a second with a 50 to 150 mm lense. Having two camera fitted with two lense eliminates the need to change lenses and that is an important point with digital sensors. One must minimize the chance of getting contanimants on the sensors. Of course, your assistant will be standing by with supplemental equipment including a backup camera. Record keeping is must for weddings. The names of the people in each shot must be recorded as well as the place, date and time. This is a good job for the assistant.
By the way, I am not a professional photographer. These are some lessosn I've learned over a lifetime. At one time, I had considered doing photos for hire and if that business grew, I could make it my main occupation. And then, I began to think about what was required and decided that if one were to include weddings, then reliability of your system had to be considered. I concluded that to do weddings, you could not approach it piecemeal, but had to make a complete commitmment.
Jemdandy gave you good advice. You might also want to consult with the wedding photographers at the Pro Digital Talk Forum at DPReview. The site's Beginners' Questions Forum is often useful as well.
One question to you: Doesn't the college (or individual instructors) advise incoming students about what equipment they'll need?
Absolute agreement on the need for two cameras for events photography - and I would add that I would have those two camera bodies be identical or at the least be compatible so that if one camera body fails the lenses can be swapped out as needed. No one likes to think about equipment failures but they do happen, and for weddings, having a backup is critical.
Only other thing I'll add is that you'll want to be flashless or quite a few shooting scenarios, so go for fast glass. For any zooms I'd be looking at 2.8 glass. With primes you can go faster, but 2.8 would be be my benchmark for zooms.
IS may help at times too.
You'll pay for 2.8 zooms, but they hold their value over the years versus the slower "kit" zoom lenses.
And yup, ask the school.
FWIW I use the monopod out of the tripod more than the full tripod setup. Still gives you a steady hand for long shots without taking up floor space.

Jónas Jónsson
Jónas Jónsson (known also as Jónas frá Hriflu, May 1, 1885 – July 19, 1968) was an Icelandic educator and politician, and one of the most influential people in 20th-century Icelandic culture and politics. Initially an educator and writer of textbooks, he was chairman of the Progressive Party for ten years, and Minister of Justice from 1927 to 1932.
Jónas was born in Hrifla in Suður-Þingeyjarsýsla. He studied at Möðruvalla School and wanted to attend the Reykjavík Latin School in 1905, but could not afford it—by the time his family had saved enough money he was rejected (by rector Steingrímur Thorsteinsson) for being too old.
Instead, he attended the folk high school in Askov, Denmark, and then moved to England to attend Ruskin College in Oxford, known as an institution for working-class students. On his return to Iceland, in 1909, he found himself in opposition to the class of newly-wealthy Icelanders and became involved in politics. He was elected MP in 1922 for the Progressive Party, a libertarian and agrarian-centrist party, a seat he held until 1949. He became attorney general in 1927, and was Minister of Justice from 1927 to 1932. He was chairman of the Progressive Party for ten years,[1] from 1934 to 1944.
Jónas was the author of the "immensely influential primer" Íslandssaga handa börnum ("History of Iceland for children", 2 vols., Reykjavík, 1915-1916). The primer molded the "historical perception of generations of Icelanders" until the 1970s, when it was no longer being used in education.[2] According to his textbook, Icelanders had a special status since they hailed from descendants of those who fled the rule of Harald Fairhair, an especially hardy stock of Norwegians; in combination with the harsh natural environment this produced the "unique Icelandic nation". The island's economic prosperity, he argued, resulted from its independence from Denmark.[1]

'Orphan Black' Declassified: Dylan Bruce on Paul's Mysterious Agenda, 'Kinky' Rachel
Are Sarah and Paul done for good? "I definitely don't think they're done," Bruce tells THR, adding: "I could understand her wanting to put a bullet between his eyes."
[WARNING: Spoilers ahead from Saturday's episode of Orphan Black, "Ipsa Scientia Potestas Est."]
Paul (Dylan Bruce) has a lot of explaining to do.
Orphan Black's latest episode shed more light on Paul's intentions. Forced to work for the enemy and "promoted" to be Rachel's monitor, Paul did several questionable things at the request of his powerful boss. From planting Felix's fingerprints on Daniel's murder weapon used to kill the police officer to having sex with Rachel, Paul isn't exactly winning over any of his old friends. "He's definitely looking out for No. 1 right now, and he definitely has an agenda," Bruce tells The Hollywood Reporter.
PHOTOS: Broadcast TV's Returning Shows 2014-15
So what is this plan of his? In THR's latest installment of Orphan Black Declassified, Bruce breaks down the latest episode, the Sarah factor and whether Paul can ever be redeemed.
There was suspicion early on that there was something going on behind closed doors between Rachel and Paul, and this episode confirmed that. Is this solely a forced arrangement for him or is it more complicated now?
He's a master manipulator. It is forced, but only to a certain extent. He's doing something that's trying to progress his own agenda. He's not just a patsy. He's got a few tricks up his own sleeve. At the same time, I think he actually is a little terrified of Rachel. I think everybody is.
The episode's big "wow" moment was Rachel and Paul's sex scene.
When I read it on the page, I had never seen anything like this on television before. It's amazing how quickly Tatiana [Maslany] jumps into all these different characters and how immersed she is in each character she's playing. Our director for this last episode, Helen Shaver, she's very good in the realm of sexuality. She knows how to bring the sexy out of her actors. A lot of the moving parts in that scene were added by her. It's almost like Rachel's inspecting Paul like he's a derby horse -- looking at his teeth, making sure that he's clean and worthy of her. It seems like she has a lot of suppressed sexual energy and very kinky as well. I was anticipating that they'd have whips and chains in the room. (Laughs.) I called her Fifty Shades of Rachel. I thought she would have some sort of sex room with a swing or something. That scene was absolutely brilliant. It's very sexy on a completely different level than other sex scenes that I've seen on television. It's weird and sexy at the same time.
Definitely odd.
Creepy, but hot. I don't know what to feel [about it]. (Laughs.)
And across the way you have Helena, who's about to kill Rachel, and Sarah watching this all play out.
Yeah. (Laughs.) The scene between the two of them, and Art, is brilliant too. The last episode ended on such a huge, creepy, climactic note. It seems like this episode does the same thing but in a totally different way.
Q&A: 'Orphan Black' Declassified Features Maria Doyle Kennedy on Mrs. S' Secrets, Racy Past
At the beginning of the season, Paul was still trying to help Sarah, but now, that's put into question. Would he still lend her a hand if given the opportunity?
She did pistol-whip him in the face [in the season-two premiere]. I can't believe Paul didn't go down. She hit him pretty hard. He's got an iron jaw. There's a certain level of need for Paul to help Sarah because of what happened to Beth. His path for redemption is through helping Sarah. At the same time, it doesn't feel like she has that deep of feelings for him, so it's almost mutual. They'll use each other when they need to but they're both going to be pushing their own agendas. Paul's far down on her list of people she wants to help, but she did save him in episode seven last year. He does feel a little obligation to help her out, but I'm not so sure how far that goes.
Are Sarah and Paul done?
I don't know. I definitely don't think they're done done. After what he did to her brother [Felix], which was pretty terrible, I could understand her wanting to put a bullet between his eyes.
How is Paul adjusting to his new role as Rachel's monitor? Will he be taking advantage of his current position?
He's in a situation right now where it's definitely to his advantage. The fact that Daniel is out of the picture, Paul's not a disposable asset anymore. Now he can become a usable force. That helps him out and helps him progress his own cause. It seems like he's being blackmailed into doing this, but there is something much bigger that this guy is involved with. That's about all I can say about that. He would want nothing more than to burn the Dyad corporation to the ground, I think.
There's an interesting power struggle between Dr. Leekie and Rachel, and Paul's stuck in the middle of it. Out of the two, who does he have more allegiance to?
Neither. This is another great thing for him. He can answer to two masters. That allows him to play both of them at the same time, but it's a slippery slope. He has to walk that tightrope between the two of them. It's almost like he's waiting to see who comes out on top. He's maintaining that guise where he's tied to both of them, but in reality, his allegiance is going to lie with the one who wins in the end. He's not going to pick a losing team, that's for sure.
VIDEO: Mrs. S Reunites With a Former Flame on 'Orphan Black'
Speaking more specifically about the Felix matter, does Paul have even an ounce of guilt over putting him in jail?
When I read [the scene], I thought, "Oh my god, this is going to be really hard to play with Jordan [Gavaris]" because I love Jordan so much and I love the character of Felix. The way I was playing it, I was trying to show the least amount of emotion because Paul's a pretty stoic character. [Paul] was not pleased at all with having to do what he had to do. That was a necessity to do that. When he takes the gun out of the bag and Felix is like, "What are you doing, Paul?" it was more like an air of disappointment. If Paul didn't do it, [Rachel] would have gotten rid of him herself.
Paul's not helping himself in the friend department this season now that he's on the other side of things.
When that elevator got to the top floor [in the season-one finale] and they were both gone, the writers wrote it a bunch of different ways, where Paul might have gone off with Sarah. But I liked how they left it ambiguous as to what Paul was doing. At first, I was like, "You're putting me in this world with Rachel and the Dyad and Leekie and I'm doing these awful things to Felix -- how do I become a redeemable character after that?" It was a genius move to put Paul in that world because that dynamic between those three characters is interesting, and I think it was a surprise for the viewers as well. You never know a character's true intentions. You think Paul is on the good team and now he's on the bad team. Possibly he could go back to the good team again.
Paul says it doesn't bother him that Cal is back in Sarah's orbit. Is he lying?
Yeah, I think he's lying. I definitely think there's a certain level of hurt that's involved with that. It is her baby daddy, right? How disappointed can you be? [Paul and Sarah] didn't meet on the greatest of terms -- it wasn't romantic bliss, it was more like they were thrust into this crazy kaleidoscopic event. He understands it. As I perceived it, Paul was starting to have true feelings for Sarah, but unfortunately they haven't really prevailed in season two, have they?
It was dropped in that Paul has slept with three clones: Beth, Sarah and now Rachel. Is that notable?
When he slept with Beth, he was blackmailed into being her monitor and her boyfriend, or he could have faced military trial or the death sentence or life in prison or who knows what. When he slept with Sarah, she initiated the intimacy and now he sleeps with Rachel, she again initiates the intimacy. So he's definitely not a prude but he's definitely not the aggressor in the situation. (Laughs.) I don't know how much you can say "Paul gets around" because it seems these clones are the aggressor in these situations. It's so empowering because we have a brilliant female lead and all these brilliant female characters. It's almost like a role reversal.
You've hinted several times that Paul has an agenda. How soon before what he's been plotting is revealed?
You'll find out this season tidbits, just snippets of it. That will [lead] to the next season. He's very mysterious, isn't he?
Every week, THR will bring in-depth, spoiler-filled chats with the producers and stars on Saturday nights following original episodes. Check back next week for the next installment.

How to make seed cleaning screens
gardengyrl(Ca9)September 14, 2012
Could someone help me out with instructions to make a set of basic seed cleaning screens? thanks!
I use a jumbo "tea strainer"; works great.
terrene(5b MA)
I don't have any plans, but they don't look like they'd be too difficult to make. I currently use the top of a large shoe box as a tray to clean seeds, along with 2 different sized strainers, and my pasta colander. Just regular kitchen stuff. I've collected a lot of seed this fall and have been able to clean almost all of them using this hodge podge of tools.
I fantasize about getting a nice matching set of screens and tray(s) to clean seeds though.

Jill and Tarry Smith of Scott County, Kentucky installed video cameras at their home, not knowing they'd catch this: a U.S. Postal worker throwing packages onto their driveway.
The postal worker was caught throwing packages on the homeowner's drive-way Saturday morning.
In the video, you can hear the packages hit the ground.
Jill checked the surveillance video when she found her packages strewn across the driveway.
"I was astounded," she said. "I just ran and found my husband and I'm like 'you have got to watch this.' And pretty much put it on Facebook immediately just to see what the public response would be. Maybe I was overreacting. Not so much; we've got a pretty big response."
