mini donkey and braying
Hi everyone. Well we are the proud parents of two mini donkeys. High five and Little Skeeter. They are the best. They have been home with us for two weeks now and are become more comfortable everyday.High five was a year old in may and Skeeter will be a year old in September. They do not seem to bray at all. They do make horse sounds.Does anyone have any info? thanks Jenny
My experience is that donkeys bray when they are happy about something. I don't know about mini donkeys but when I bring a new donkey home they are very quiet until they are sure they are in a safe place. They are quite sensitive animals.
I currently have two and they bray when I come home from work! Probably in anticipation of being fed and when I come back from riding my horse! Then we get big brays and lots of excitement!
I have never had a donkey bray all day long and become bothersome to neighbors. They are simply communicating.
Have fun with your donkeys! They are so clever and smart!
I have 3 mini-donks, the youngest one ... Merlin ... brays for me on weekend mornings since I don't have to get up at the crack of dawn and feed them and then get ready to go to work.
It's funny, his Dad used to be the one to tell me it's time to feed them, but when Merlin was a year or so old, he took over that duty.
They also bray occasionally when they are wildly galloping thru the pasture, running for the pure joy of running. I love watching them do this.
They are awesome animals.
Here's a picture just after he was born ... he's 5 now.
Here's both the "boys" ... Dad (Cosmo) is in front.
This is my standard donkey Dominic. We rescued him from the slaughter auction four years ago. What a prankster he is. He is white (believe it or not) and has a rose blanket. He's smart and cute!
This is Tillie. She is 24 and I have had her since she was a yearling. She is the Grand Dam of my farm and very attached to her horses.
Awww .. nhsuzanne ... great pictures too. I just love my donkeys, they are definitely pranksters.
I forgot to mention that Merlin's Mom in the top photo is my Sambina, Sam for short. She definitely rules my small herd. She ignores the "boys" when they do silly things.
Am having my barn floor redone soon and am fixing the one empty stall so I can add a little jenny sometime in the future.
A friend had a mammoth donkey many years ago, now those are BIG donkeys!
A friend had a mini mule named Jack. When he was a baby, all his antics were cute and funny - like running up and stealing your gloves or hat! But when he got a little older, he became a juvenile delinquent - mean little bugger. Now he ran up to you with gnashing teeth. Stand right up on his hind legs and try to stomp you! If she didn't feed him when he wanted fed,he tore his stall to pieces. Eventually, a little surgery corrected some of that behavior. ha.
I think the funniest thing was watching him play with his big rubber ball in the paddock. Run with it just like a soccer player and carry it around and toss it.
Well good news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today High Five Brayed for the first time.I was out playing with them and then left the corral and started for the house and much to my surprise he started braying.He wanted me to come back and pay more attention to him.They have been with us here now for 5 weeks. I guess he just wanted to get comfortable. Hope he keeps up the good work.
Having had one mini donk (Okee) who was so lonely that whenever he heard me around ouside the house he brayed. He brayed to be fed,he brayed for my attention. I finally realized he was lonely so I got him a partner (Dokie) and since then life here has been Okee Dokie, but now they bray about the same time every day about feeding time and when anyone strange comes on our property.
I must say they have to be the cutest animals on earth. My trainer had never trained a donkey but loved the idea of a challenge and is head over heals in love with them. My favorite line from her was "If I didn't think I would be laughed out of the ring I would start riding donkeys in shows they are the smarter than any horse I've ever trained"
It's too bad your trainer won't actually challenge people by doing exactly that.
I've seen people compete on mules.
When I retire, I'm going to teach my "boys" to drive and enter local competitions. I'm sure I'll get the same reaction as your trainer mentioned, but I don't care.
Got my donkey hugs this morning, gorgeous morning today.
This isnÂt about donkey braying but since we have all donkey lovers here I wanted to share this really cute story that happened last night.
At the back of my pasture is a very old and active fox den. (this is an uneasy alliance given I have a flock of chickens but have never had a problem) Each year we watch a new brood play and grow. Each year it gets better and better and this year is no exception. Last night the two horses and two donkeys, Dominic and Tillie pictured above, were out grazing and the kits were out at the back of the pasture romping. They would sit up straight with curiosity and slowly approach one or the other donkey, almost tip toeing. When the donkey would take a step towards them they would run back to the other side of the fence! It was really funny. At one point, Dominic picked a spot to roll near the fence. He pawed the ground and dropped to have himself a good roll. All the while the kits watched from the safe side of the fence! After Dominic was up and walked off, one of the fox babies went to the roll spot and flipped her/himself down and rolled and rolled with the other doing the same! It was too cute. They are like cats and dogs all at the same time!! In a short time Mom came back and rolled there too! I wish I could have gotten pictures but wasnÂt able to get good ones. This picture was taken of last yearÂs brood.
Awww.... great story, wonderful picture. I haven't seen many fox this year, had a fox den and cubs about 4 years ago. It was great.
I always have fun watching my mini-donks running the deer out of their pasture. It's like a stand-off to see who will move first.

Spanglish: The Making of a New American Languageby Ilan Stavans
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In exploring the formation of Spanglish, award-winning essayist Ilan Stavans reflects on, andalso codifies, the most transforming linguisticphenomena in America in the last one hundredyears — one that may predict our future as a nation and that of our entire hemisphere.
No tool is more useful in understanding the changes inculture than language. In today's America, communicationis built around inclusion and efficiency, and this is no more apparent than in the blending of the two most spoken languages in the United States: English and Spanish.
Spanish, the nation's unofficial second language, isimmediately obvious and audible on airwaves and mediascreens, streets and classrooms, from one coast to the other. But el español has not spread on this side of the Atlantic in its unadulterated Iberian form. Instead it is metastasizing into something altogether new: an astonishingly creative code of communication known as Spanglish, which in large part is the result of sweeping demographic changes, globalization, and the newly emergent "Latin Fever" that is sweeping the country. It is used predominantly by people of Hispanic descent but is also embraced by others in the United States, the Americas as a whole, and even Spain.
Naturally controversial, Spanglish outrages English-language-only proponents, who seek to ban all languages other than English north of the Rio Grande. Equal in their outrage are Spanish-language purists and the supporters of the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language in Madrid, as they deem Spanglish a cancer to their precious and centuries-old tongue. With elegance and erudition, Ilan Stavans reflects on the verbal rift that has given birth to Spanglish. He fascinatingly shows the historical tensions between the British and Spanish Empires, and how in 1588, with the sinking of the grand Spanish Armada, the rivalry between the two empires was solidified, and to this day, the differences in religion and culture continue their fight linguistically.
He ponders major historical events, such as the Guadalupe Hidalgo Treaty of 1848 and the Spanish-American War fifty years later, as agents of radical linguistic change, although, as he rightly states, it is in the second half of the twentieth century that Spanglish sped into our daily reality.
Stavans also points out the similarities and differencesSpanglish has with Yiddish, so thoroughly blending intothe American vocabulary, and the much-debated Ebonics, which made headlines in the early 1990s as a uniquelyAfrican American blend of proper English and urban slang.Ultimately, Stavans deftly proves that the manner in whicha language stays alive is through mutation and that itssurvival doesn't depend on academies but on the averageperson's need for expression. This explains why it is increasingly used not only in kitchens and school but in music, TV, film, and literature, all expressions of the American collective soul.
Coupled with Stavans's insights is a substantial lexicon that shows the breadth and ingenuity of this growing vocabulary — at times, semantically obvious, then also surprisingly inventive. An ingenious translation into Spanglish of the first chapter of Don Quixote de La Mancha comes as a bonus. The added impact proves that Spanglish is more than a language — it is the perfect metaphor for an America that is a hybrid, a sum of parts.
What is Spanglish? Does it have a history? Who speaks it today? Is there only one form of Spanglish or are there many? And is it a verbal phenomenon limited only to los Unaited Esteits? What is the reaction of the academy and political establishment to its widespread popularity? Stavans has devoted almost a decade to classifying and studying the linguistic phenomenon. In this groundbreaking volume, he answers these and other questions in the sizzling, provocative style that has become his trademark. He offers us a groundbreaking lexicon of thousands of Spanglish terms, their etymology, and usage across the country. And he includes a controversial translation into Spanglish of the first chapter of Don Quixote de la Mancha.
At once entertaining and prophetic, Spanglish is proof that America is spelled with an accent.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 259-270).

Planting Basil
How do you grow your basil - do you plant individual seedlings or clusters of say 5-20? Thanks.
I grew seedlings under lights and planted out w/ my toms. Many people grow direct from seed in the garden. Last year my wife planted a container full of seeds. It had at least 30 or 40 that never got more than a couple inches tall. The one I planted seperate grew about 4ft tall. I grew about 18 from seed that were 5'' to 12'' when I planted them out. I expect ea of them to be 3-4ft tall.
You can start the seeds closely. Once they grow true leaves you can separate them and transplant them anywher, anyway you want. In one cell of 12 pack nursery tray I had abot 6-8 seedlings.Now they are transplanted into pots and in the garden and growing. The trick is that you water them (almost soak them in water)before separating/transplanting.
Water thoroughly again after planting. Flood them gently, to pack the soil around the roots/to get the air out.
Also, do it later in the day.So by the next morning sunshine they will have time to adjust. Of course, the seedling must have been exposed/hardened to outdoor/full sun for a few days befor transplanting.

Tea With My Mother
I thought I'd share with my sweet friends here the tea for two I set to honor my mom's birthday.
Here is a link that might be useful: Tea With My Mother
Kathe...thank you for sharing this very touching story
of your mother. It brought tears to my eyes.
I know for sure she would have loved being the
guest of honor at your lovely tea table! I'm sure she's smiling
down and is so proud you're her daughter...
What a sweet remembrance of your mother Kathe. I know she would be pleased that you still set up a tea table for her. Love your tablecloth and your dishes. The teacups are beautiful and so is the vase with the flowers in it. Love the simple color of the teapot and sugar and creamer...perfect style.
Beautiful Kathe.
Such a perfect setting to remember your Mother. All of the elements and colors "fit".
A lovely tribute to someone so very special.
Kathe, words fail me...tho tears running down my cheeks don't.
Thank you for sharing your Mom with us. I loved the way you described her affection for soap opera stars and others. And I definitely identified about the fried chicken! My Mom made the most perfect golden fried chicken and I just can't get it like her's.
To lose your Mom when she was far too young is just heart-wrenching, and the sudden-ness of it must have been so devastating for all of you. But reading about her, and seeing this lovely table for her, I can tell she is very much with you all the time.
now pass me a hankie, please.
hugs, Karen

I am going to be moving from Upstate NY to the Atlanta area at the end of June. I have one hop plant in the backyard that I would like to bring with me. Normally, I would just leave it and start over next season, but this is kind of a family heirloom.
My Great-great Grandfather grew hops on his farm here back before Prohibition and the blight and this is a descendant of those Cluster hops. I think it would be nice to bring that bit of my family history with us as we head into our future. My question is: would it be feasible to dig it up and put it in a container now and move it with us in the summer? My other option would be to leave this plant here and take a rhizome from my Grandmother's place (the original farm) after the season is over.
You could try either or both, if the one in your back yard doesn't work, it's good to know you have a backup at grandma's house.
It's very hard to kill hops, that being said I've never tried to transplant a crown.
I agree with COLO but I would first try digging up a nice sized root ball and toss in a big container and see how it takes. If you do it now and it doesnt make it you can still either try again from more roots at your place or go with plan B and get a new rhizome from the g-ma's. Either way...good luck preserving the family heirloom!
i'd dig around the edges to see if you could pick out a few small rhizomes now, and get them started in some pots. just like starting from scratch but being that hops aren't that intelligent, where they end up being planted will be a mystery to them. if that fails, go back to the farm. back in 1985 or 86 i got some roots from a guy named norm soine. he was up in madison county (cazenovia/morrisville area) and told me that they were from hops that were used to establish the first commercial yard in the county back in the early 1800's. one variety i had tested at oregon state turned out being canadian redvine which was grown 'bigtime' in the north west until it was replaced by clusters which have similar qualities. maybe we got roots from the same bloodline? best wishes with your move and remember to B-Hoppy!
Yes pot it now, but you will need a big pot, like an old Tree pot from a nursery. 2ft size
It will relocate easily enough when you move as long as it gets water.
When you get to June/ July , just cut back the growth to leave just about a ft of growth to make it easy to move, next year it will go mad.
Our Hops Farm Bloghttp://zenzele-brewery.blogspot.com/
Thanks for the advice, guys! I will grab a big pot this weekend and get it transferred into it. Should I just let it grow wild rather than allow it to climb something? Right now it has shoots that are maybe 9-12". From what I have read about the history of hop yards, IIRC, the first year, they would leave them to their own devices and then trellis them the second year. Don't know how its done today...
@B-Hoppy: I have always thought them to be Cluster since that seemed to be the prevalent commercial hops variety in NYS during it's height. I also compared the leaves & cones to pictures and to my untrained eye, seemed a match. Maybe i will put a call into Cornell and see if they could test some for me
Most hop yards put bines on twine the first year. Due to improved methods of cultivation, mainly drip irrigation and liquid fertilizers, a hop yard can get as much as 80% yield the first year.
I'd at least give them a bean pole to climb to reduce the chances of a mildew or fungus taking hold.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
Thanks for the advice David, I will do just that.
Interesting about the varieties. That sounds very similar to what I have here lots of lupulin everywhere when dried and quite citrusy. If I have a chance later, I will try to post some pictures.

Marshall and Jackson handed Ireland debuts
ESPN Staff
February 20, 2013
Paddy Jackson starts at fly-half for Ireland © Getty Images
Ulster duo Luke Marshall and Paddy Jackson will make their debuts for Ireland after being named in the XV for their match with Scotland on Sunday.
Ireland boss Declan Kidney has also handed starts to Keith Earls, Tom Court and Donncha O'Callaghan as they look to bounce back from their round two loss to England. Marshall comes into the side in place of the injured Gordon D'Arcy, who is carrying a foot injury, while Jackson gets his chance with Jonathan Sexton sidelined. Veteran No.10 Ronan O'Gara was also in the mix to start at fly-half, but Kidney has opted to give the 21-year-old his chance.
"Paddy's inclusion was a challenge given the stature of Ronan O'Gara, but I think Paddy deserves a go in this one," Kidney said. "It was a very difficult decision to leave Ronan out, it was right up there. But that's a compliment to Paddy.
"There were always going to be five changes to the side that played against England. Luke was with us all through November and accomplished himself very well."
And elsewhere in the backs, Earls starts on the flank replacing the injured Simon Zebo. Earls last started for Ireland during the November Tests but that was in the centres.
In the pack, with Cian Healy suspended for his stamp on Dan Cole in their match on February 10, Ulster's Court gets his chance to impress. He has found his chances to start for the national team limited due to Healy's form and while Sunday's game will be his 30th cap, it will be just the seventh time he has been named in the Test XV.
O'Callaghan gets his chance to shine in the second-row with Mike McCarthy ruled out due to knee ligament damage. He will bring a wealth of experience to the team and will win his 93rd Ireland cap on Sunday.
Kidney has also opted to shuffle his pack on the bench. While the front-row remains the same, Devin Toner comes in for O'Callaghan and Ulster's Iain Henderson replaces the injured Chris Henry. And Luke Fitzgerald could also win his first cap for Ireland since 2011 having missed much of the last 18 months due to injury.
Ireland team: Rob Kearney, Craig Gilroy, Brian O'Driscoll, Luke Marshall, Keith Earls, Paddy Jackson, Conor Murray; Tom Court, Rory Best, Mike Ross, Donncha O'Callaghan, Donnacha Ryan, Peter O'Mahony, Sean O'Brien, Jamie Heaslip
Replacements: Sean Cronin, David Kilcoyne, Declan Fitzpatrick, Devin Toner, Iain Henderson, Eoin Reddan, Ronan O'Gara, Luke Fitzgerald

This loft worked out perfectly for my group trip. While it may not be for everyone it certainly worked out well for our big group. It is located in a commercial building which is unique but for the price you cant beat the size. Check in and out was very easy and communication was great!
This place is great!!! Very satisfied with our stay. This place is very convenient, spacious, and just outside of the main part of the city. Looks exactly like the pictures. John and JT keep in constant contact and make sure that things are according to plan. Very close to the MUNI, with a lot of things to do in the area. Dogpatch is definitely up-and-coming. An Uber ride from here is inexpensive. Only downside to this place are the neighbors. They are pretty rude and complained about the noise made even during the early hours of the night.
First of all, this apartment is really cool and strange and fun. The pictures do it justice, and we (8 of us) stayed comfortably, using two beds and a number of couches/air mattresses.
Host was non-existent (got let in through a phone call/door code), besides a text I got at 2am letting us know a party would be happening above us. It was a huge party, that bumped music until the morning and was very loud. We did not mind, as we were up late and ended up going to the party for a while (after being charged $60 to enter..). Very hard to get ahold of before our stay and would not let us drop bags off early, which is weird because all we needed was a door code to enter.. though they did let us leave our bags for an extra hour and a half after our stay which was nice.
Overall great stay but don't expect an engaging/friendly host.
I'm hesitant to write this as I don't want to seem negative. I'm objectively as forgiving and easy going as anyone. I'm a polite guest and always meet hospitality with flexibility and appreciation. I swear I'm a good airbnb guest.
The description is not accurate. This is a commercial/industrial loft. Absolutely stay here if you are having a soiree or need a space for a big group of people. It's huge and bright and fun. A photographers delight. A very cool space!!
DO NOT STAY HERE if you need a good nights rest. I was in SF on business. I often stay with friends and at small BNB's and boutique hotels. I thought an AirBNB would be a nice alternative to a big hotel, perhaps spend some money that would benefit an individual rather than a hotel chain. Prepared to make certain sacrifices for an authentic experience, I was not willing at forego sleep entirely. This was very detrimental before a long day of work.
This is a place you rent for a party. You will not sleep if you stay here.
The neighbors on the 2nd floor are actual baseball batting cages and commercial studios. Whomever is above this loft is particularly bothersome. It sounded as though high heels where slamming the ground all night. They ramped up as the night went on. By three am it was a stampede. Not sure if it's rumba lessons or what, but it made it impossible to sleep.
Furthermore, The beds are positioned 10 feet from a window which is directly above a produce shipping dock. Trucks moved in and out constantly through the night with the crescendo at 4 am. Every truck needs to reverse into position and that entails very very loud beeping. Being on the second floor, this loft catches every single decibel of noise. It was unbearable.
I am discussing the possibility of a refund with airbnb. Having lived in SF,LA, NY, I can sleep with all variety of street noise. Sporadic sirens don't bother me, etc. This was entirely different.
It's possible that Thursday nights are the only nights with all the shipping and dancing, but I doubt it. And if that is the case, the place shouldn't be offered on Thursdays.
Considering the excessive cleaning fee levied on the single night stay, and my lack of energy from not sleeping, I left the sole detritus, a pizza box, on the kitchen table.
Leaving this place is a logistical challenge. You need to take the garage clicker and walk down and around the corner to get your car out. Park your car somewhere if at all possible, go back into the building and walk the 1/8th of a mile to the loft, put the garage door opener in the loft, then return the loft key to a lockbox back downstairs.
We stayed there for a night with my friends to celebrate and it was perfect. The place is big and very comfortable. Kitchen has everything u need and the beds are very nice. Would come again for sure.
Next door neighbors came by complaining of the noise of the precious 3 nights with great animation and anger towards the owner of the unit. Threatened us with physical harm if the noise continued.
The loft is absolutely wonderful! Very spacious and a great place for my friends and I to stay during our trip. The check in process was very easy and the loft is as spacious as described.

AFC West: David Anderson
McGahee closer to joining Broncos
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Friday he agreed to terms. The Denver Post is reporting the deal is now for four years, $9.5 million. McGahee will turn 30 this season. Again, I think McGahee can make some plays, but his contributions will likely be limited. He had 209 carries the past two years combined.
In other AFC West news:
Denver agreed to terms with receiver David Anderson. The former Colorado State player was cut by Houston. He has a chance to be a rotational receiver and special teamer in Denver.
The Chargers had interest in former Green Bay linebacker Nick Barnett, but not at the price that it will take to sign him.
There still doesn't seem to be much of market for Oakland Pro Bowl tight end Zach Miller. At this point, I'd be surprised if he went elsewhere.
As expected, the Broncos cut safety Renaldo Hill as the team clears cap space. Hill was with the team the past two years. He wasn't going to start this season.
The Broncos were interested in former Houston first-round pick Amobi Okoye. But he reportedly agreed to terms with the Bears shortly after being cut by the Texans. In a strange one, Denver is bringing in Broncos' defensive tackle Marcus Thomas in for a visit. He has been with the team since 2007.
Afternoon free-agency frenzy
Posted by ESPN.com's Bill Williamson
News is popping in the AFC West:
The Denver Post is reporting that the Broncos have resolved their contract issues with running back J.J. Arrington and have agreed to terms again. The team and Arrington had agreed to a deal on Friday but it fell apart on Saturday.
Denver now has three new running backs in Arrington, Correll Buckhalter and LaMont Jordan. The addition of the veterans may mean it will be difficult for youngsters Ryan Torain and Peyton Hillis to get extensive playing time.
Expect Buckhalter, Arrington and Jordan all to play fairly extensive roles. Jordan may be the short-yardage back and Arrington the third-down back.
- The Houston Chronicle reports that Houston matched the offer restricted free agent receiver David Anderson received from Denver last week. Anderson likely would have been a No. 5 receiver with Denver.
- Former Kansas City quarterback Damon Huard is headed to San Francisco. The Chiefs had no plans of bringing back Huard, who was a starter at times the past few seasons.
- Denver has kept defensive lineman Kenny Peterson. He may be the only in-house free agent new Broncos coach Josh McDaniels keeps. The team thinks Peterson will fit in Denver's new 3-4 defensive alignment.
Interestingly, Peterson is the only holdover who knows McDaniels. The two were actually high school teammates in Canton, Ohio. McDaniels was a senior and Peterson was a freshman.
Denver is at seven and counting
Posted by ESPN.com's Bill Williamson
With Denver agreeing to terms with former Indianapolis defensive tackle Darrell Reid, the team has now signed seven free agents in the first 36-plus hours of free agency.
To put the Broncos' wild spree in perspective, the other three AFC West teams have no players.
Sure, Oakland is sniffing around tackles Khalif Barnes and Marvel Smith; San Diego is thinking about bringing back cornerback Drayton Florence after a year's detour to Jacksonville and Kansas City traded for New England linebacker Mike Vrabel. But the only inking going on thus far in this division is coming out of the Rocky Mountains.
None of the names Denver has signed so far will overwhelm you but the new regime, led by coach Josh McDaniels, is trying to create competition and depth.
Here is a recap of the players Denver has agreed to deals with so far:
Houston Texans receiver David Anderson (restricted offer sheet); Arizona Cardinals running back J.J. Arrington; Philadelphia Eagles running back Correll Buckhalter: New England Patriots receiver Jabar Gaffney; Miami Dolphins safety Renaldo Hill; New England Patriots long snapper Lonie Paxton and Indianapolis' Reid.
The team is also trying to finalize deals with Philadelphia safety Brian Dawkins and Cleveland linebacker Andra Davis. Dawkins would certainly be the big catch of the group and if Denver is going to finalize the deal, it could come at any time.
Broncos sign WR Anderson to offer sheet
Posted by ESPN.com's Bill Williamson
A source close to the situation confirmed that the Broncos have agreed with restricted free agent wide receiver David Anderson on a three-year, $4.5 million offer sheet and a $1 million signing bonus.
The Houston Texans will have a week to match the deal.
Denver signed former New England receiver Jabar Gaffney earlier Friday. If Anderson is brought in, it could mean the end of No. 3 receiver Brandon Stokley in Denver. He was the team's No. 3 receiver the past two seasons.
If new coach Josh McDaniels gets both Gaffney and Anderson, it is unlikely he'll want one of them to be a fifth receiver. Stokley could be on the outs if Anderson is brought in.

Confronting "The Enemy Within": Security Intelligence, the Police, and Counterterrorism in Four Democracies
The authors examine the origin, development, and functions of intelligence organizations in the United Kingdom, France, Canada, and Australia. They assess the terrorist threat in each country, the intelligence organization's role in terrorism threat mitigation, its relationship with law enforcement agencies, and the means and modalities by which it is controlled and monitored. The analysis is intended to help inform debate within the United States on the advisability of creating a dedicated information collection and surveillance body that operates outside the existing structure of the FBI.

when I switch off my phone and stick it on my charing station (Docking) my phone goes on to shop the battery is charging. All good. But than it switches off and on again over and over and over again.
And I am not quit sure if this is a docking station problem too: When I switch daydream on the phone do not charge at all... is this releated and I got a broken docking station?
Edit: When I switch on the phone and put it on docking station, it charges normally....

Guessing the 2015 Grammys
PopMatters predicts a night of newcomers, huge sweeps, and some love for two theme songs from 2013.

The Most Welcome (and Unexpected) Song of the Summer Contender
It's all about bass. And booty. And embracing your shape. It has all the makings of a yawn-provoking empowerment anthem ... but instead it's one of the funnest songs you'll hear this year.

avedon_gwAugust 10, 2012
I have a few more to show, I think it's just nice to have flowers when it's been so hot and dry, but lately we have had rain, so that may be why we are getting all this rebloom.
Starstruck put out these very large blooms today
Mom's Seedling--we have quite a few of these as singles blooming right now, and there are new scapes coming on on a number of the plants.
Really nice double on Jellyroll Truffle
Royal Occasion --- Last bloom on this one. It's misshappen, but I do love that color.
Bodacious Returns--a very cheerful, bright color.
Had a surprise yesterday--Leebea Orange Crush rebloomed--this is very rare, usually does not put up rebloom scapes. Unfortunately, I didn't get the picture. It may bloom again tomorrow. Avedon

Bill targets some fat NC pensions for highly-paid state, local employees
State legislation filed Thursday aims to prevent highly paid state and local employees from using the retirement system to spike their pensions as they near retirement.
The legislation comes after The News & Observer revealed how four community colleges boosted the salaries of their longtime presidents by converting housing allowances, annuity payments and travel pay into salary money that could add as much as $50,000 to their annual pensions.
House Bill 1195 affects less than 1 percent of the employees who retire each year and only those whose average pay in their four highest-paid consecutive years of employment is $100,000 or more. It would require the agency and employee to put up the money for a pension that grew rapidly, not leave the cost to be subsidized by others.
State Treasurer Janet Cowell supports the legislation. A recent study paid for by the office did not find widespread pension spiking in state and local government, but treasurer officials acknowledged cases in which leaders of some agencies persuaded their boards to boost their pay as they neared retirement, creating sharp increases in pensions.
Spokesman Schorr Johnson said in a statement that Cowell is "concerned that a very small number of people are being subsidized disproportionately by all members of the retirement system. This legislation will help enhance the Department of State Treasurer's tools to guard against fraud and abuse."
Rep. Jeff Collins, a Rocky Mount Republican and co-sponsor of the legislation, said it has also the approval of the N.C. League of Municipalities and the N.C. Association of County Commissioners, two groups who represent much of local government.
"If the people who are all being held responsible seem to like it and the agency responsible for enforcing it likes it, then it looks like a good deal," Collins said.
Broad support for bill
Representatives of both local groups say they not only support the pension reform, they had a hand in fashioning it.
"We wanted to show the General Assembly we were making a good-faith effort to keep the system healthy and above board," said Whitney Christensen, a lobbyist for the league.
Mitch Leonard, a lobbyist with the State Employees Association of North Carolina, said it is not opposed to the legislation, since it would have little impact on most of the association's members.
In November, The N&O reported that four community colleges – Cape Fear, Central Piedmont, Sandhills and Wilkes – used a change in state law that allowed unlimited salary contributions to community college presidents so long as the money came from the individual counties. A cap on the state share of the presidents' salaries remains in place.
That change allowed the colleges to convert tens of thousands of dollars in compensation that wasn't eligible for pension purposes into salary money that was.
The proposed law requires that a cap on pensions be partly set upon how much the employee contributed to the system plus how much those contributions would have grown through investment.
If the employee's expected pension payment exceeds that cap, that additional amount would have to be paid by the employer if the employee was hired before Jan. 1, 2015. For those hired on or after Jan. 1, the additional amount would have to be picked up by the employer or employee. The employee could also choose to accept no more than what the cap allows.
The N&O report was part of a three-part series, "Checks Without Balances," that used pay and pension data from the state retirement system to identify unusually high salaries, bonuses and other pay increases for employees in state and local governments that became public through reforms to the state's personnel law in 2010.
