Why someone would try to give tips on a character they've never played is just silly. Dorans RING on kennen? Really...
Senior Member
I play kennen ALOT. I will say that his early game damage output is pretty awful compared to just about every other mid champion. However, his ability to farm at range, harass, and escape virtually any gank more than makes up for his lack of pre-6 kill potential. When I play Kennen I typically have the same build.
Hourglass, Crystal Septer, DeathCap, Sorcerers Shoes, Hextech Gunblade, Liandrys Torment.
Alot of people like to go will of the ancients but Gunblade has more AP, the same spellvamp, lifesteal, and attack damage which works well with the passive from Kennens W. Screw auras! Plus the active can be really good for kiting or can be used to slow them after a stun which bridges the gap between rounds of cool downs in a duel allowing you to hit them with another round of Q W E.
I typically build these same items but in a different order depending on how early laning went. If I am ahead, I am going to go hextech revolver and needlessly large rod. If I am behind I willl rush for a hextech revolver + giants belt. Once these things are done I pretty much always proceed to an hourglass since it is such a critical item on kennen.
Kennen is kind of sucky. Theres a reason you never see him played in any tournament. He basically does no damage. His AoE damage/stunner is very strong lategame BUT requires him to dash right into the enemy team, kind of like a Bad Fiddle ult.
His advantage is that during laning, he needs no mana and can really spam it up. He can pretty easily escape enemy meleers up toplane with both his Dash and an insta-stun. A point blank Shurican,Dashthru = 2 counters, so if they already have 1 on them from your autoattack then they are immediatley stunned, take some dmg, and you back off easily.
So yeah, he has some nice utility but he doesn't bring too much damage to the table, which is bad for an AP carry. Building him bruiser or tanky doesnt work either.
If you have hard time playing as Kennen. I recommend you playing him as an adc or ad kennen top or mid (which I often like to do). Thus being said, he's usually more viable top than bottom since he coutners a lot of popular melee tanky tops. Playing him as an ap mage is much harder.
I really love Kennen. He's so adorable and is one of the most flexible champions in roles.
I used to play kennen. What do you max first? In lane, ALWAYS max your q. The amounts of harass coming out of that is amazing. Then max w, then e.
Ok, here is how I build him.
Amplifying Tome + Health Pot
Hextech Revolver + Boots
Rylai's + Sorcerer's Shoes
Now, I usually take Abyssal Sceptre and then finish out my WoTa from Hextech Revolver.
Ok, you NEED to farm as kennen. Learn to play him mid lane. Because the thing about Kennen is he needs his farm.
NEVER use your e to farm, unless you are under your turret. Your e is an AMAZING escape tool so don't waste it!
Now, land those shurikans like your life depends on it. Level your spells as q-e-q-w-q, etc.
Once that q hits level two, you should be able to do massive damage.
Now once you hit 6, the enemy should be around half health. Considering your dodging tools with e, you shouldn't be low at all. Now if they are far away, I usually flash in for the clear shot with the q, and then ult + e+w. They always die from this combo unless it is an extremely tanky champ.
My 2 cents. Hope it's helpfull. He has damage just FARM and HARASS.

"Don't be mislead, this is a romance novel"
I am not familiar with this author so if she is a romance writer, shame on me.
However, I purchased the book based upon it's description, I expected it to be focused around a recovering wounded SEAL hunting down a terrorist. Only about a quarter of this book deals with this, the rest, and really the purpose of this book is to play out three different romances.
I was disappointed and embarrassed by this book. I was disappointed in that I had chosen the wrong genre as I have no interest in romance novels. I was embarrased, when my wife came into my workshop while I was listening to one of the more racy parts of the book.
If you like romances, go ahead and get it, otherwise pass.

Ficus benjamina leaf curl
Hi there,
I've begun noticing some leaf curl on a Ficus benjamina of mine during the last couple of weeks. Other than this, the plant isn't showing any signs of stress. I've been watering it the same as I have the last several years, and it has not been moved. Can't figure it out. Any ideas of what could be causing this?
Have you looked inside the curled-up leaves? Is there webbing or anything else inside?
I've just (hopefully, finally, maybe?) kicked a year+ scale infestation on my benji & never saw any leaves curled up like that.... curling sideways, into a flat C shape every once-in-a-while yes, but never folded over like that.
Pluta..how old is your Ficus?
There's a F. benji, 'weeping willow' that has curly leaves..they older it gets, the culier the foliage.
If you're sure it's a F. benji, (not curly) then check for insects.
Bugs can deform leaves.
Inspect for fine-weaved spider webbs, (Spider Mites---brown hard-shelled lumps---(Scale,) and white, cotty patches---(Mealy.) Toni
Thanks a bunch for the replies.
It's been in my care for 9 years, and when I inherited it, it was already quite large (5 ft. or so). So don't know exactly how old. At least 9.
It's never been repotted (since I've had it, at least). It's still in a nursery grow-pot.
I fertilize from April through August using a balanced Schultz 20-20-20 liquid fertlizer once a month. So I've fertilized twice so far this spring.
No pests inside of the leaves, or anywhere else for that matter.
Two years ago I pruned some roots that were poking out of the drainage holes.
I forgot to mention, it's about ten feet away from another Ficus of the exact same variety, and that one isn't experiencing this.
Thanks again....
Pluta..Maybe you should unpot, check roots, 'remove dying/dead if any' then repot in fresh soil.
If your Ficus is rootbound, up'ing the pot, 1-2 sizes larger 'might' solve this problem.
When you water, does soil drain fast? If a plant is totally rootbound, 'to the point soil dries a day after watering,' leaves can curl. Test soil a couple days after giving a drink. Insert your finger or a stake deep into soil. If soil is dry, your Ficus needs a larger container.
Even if it doesn't need a larger pot, you should freshen soil since it's been in the same container 9+ years.
You said your Ficus was 10' from a second Ficus. Is Ficus 1, 'curly leaves,' getting more sun than Ficus 2?
Other than being rootbound, leaves curl from insect infestation. You said you inspected but didn't see pests. Hopefully, you checked thoroughly.
I hope you can resolve this problem. A 9-Yr old plant has a lot of sentimental value. Toni
P77 - I've tended to hundreds of root-bound benjaminas and never seen (or read about) any leaf curl associated with the plant being pot-bound or dry. Ficus sheds interior and lower foliage and exhibits growth primarily at branch ends when roots are tight. Leaves turn yellow and abscise when the plant gets too dry. Branch extension also grinds to a near halt under root-bound conditions. Leaf curl generally means it's being exposed to extremely bright light (too bright) or nutritional deficiencies. Since your fertilizer contains zinc and manganese, the other two possibilities are molybdenum or Calcium. If it was molybdenum, foliage would be discolored - yellow or purplish.
If you read the analysis of your fertilizer, you'll see that it contains no Ca, and probably contains very little or no Mg, so the only Ca it would be getting is what is in your tap water or what is residual in your soil (probably depleted). Since you never repotted, and I'm assuming you haven't potted up, I think that reinforces the likelihood of it being a Ca deficiency, which also fits the appearance of the leaves and the symptoms.
What the plant needs is a full repot with root work, and a soil that allows you to water freely. Adopting a fertilizer (like Foliage-Pro 9-3-6) that supplies all the essential nutrients in a favorable ratio and a soil that allows you to water properly each time you water will go a LONG way toward your achieving the best opportunity for the plant to grow as close as possible to it's genetic potential.
Let me know if you need more info on repotting vs potting-up, soils, or fertilizing. You might find the link below useful. Take care.

Hot on the heels of Amazon's Fire TV announcement on Wednesday, here's a look at the setup, interface and features now that the streaming TV box is out in the wild.
Hot on the heels of Amazon's Fire TV announcement on Wednesday, here's a look at the setup, interface and features now that the streaming TV box is out in the wild.
There's an old saying that tech bloggers like to use: "It wouldn't be June without an Apple developer conference in the earlier part of June. Let's wait to see what Apple announces and then either type about it or make videos about it, or perhaps both." Ask any tech blogger about that saying, and if he or she denies it, the appropriate response is, "You're either with us, or you're against us." Maintain eye contact the entire time you say that phrase, too.
Anyhoo, this year will be no different. Apple has just announced the dates of WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) – it'll run between June 2 and June 6, almost certainly with an opening keynote where Tim Cook and friends will unveil what's next for Apple.
The announcements skew heavily to the software side – this is a developer conference, after all – but previous WWDCs haven't been without hardware announcements. Last year, we saw the totally redesigned and very-cylindrical Mac Pro and revamped MacBook Air models; the Retina MacBook Pro was unveiled in 2012; the iPhone 4 debuted back in 2010; there was the unibody MacBook Pro and the iPhone 3GS back in 2009; the iPhone 3G was revealed in 2008. But the point of the conference is software, software, software. Last year it was a heaping helping of iOS 7.
That's not a bad thing, by any means. Without software, all you've got are paperweights. You could argue that software's far more exciting than hardware nowadays: Phones are rectangles, tablets are rectangles, laptops are rectangles that fold down on top of other rectangles. Software is the soul of our gadgets.
We'll have plenty of WWDC coverage right here – make sure to check back in early June.
Apple Worldwide Developers Conference [Apple.com]
Amazon has announced the Fire TV, a small television set-top box for streaming movies, TV shows and music.
The box is slimmer than a dime (standing up, that is), and can either sit in an entertainment center or mount behind the television. A small Bluetooth remote has a handful of buttons for media playback and navigation, similar to an Apple TV remote, but it also has a microphone for voice search.
As with Amazon's Kindle Fire tablets, the software is partly based on Android, but it also uses HTML to support easy porting of apps from other television platforms. Apps for Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube, WatchESPN, MLB.tv, NBA, Crackle, Bloomberg TV and others will be supported at launch, and of course Amazon will have its own services on board, such as Amazon Prime Instant video and a store for purchasing and renting videos.
Beyond video, Fire TV will stream music from users' Amazon libraries and from streaming apps such as Pandora, iHeartRadio and TuneIn. Users can view photos as well, as long as they're stored in Amazon's Cloud Drive services.
Kindle Fire users can see information about what's on the TV using Amazon's "X-Ray" feature. Users will get a notification on their tablets, letting them tap to learn about actors and other information on a video, and see lyrics for music. Amazon's FreeTime Unlimited service is supported as well, allowing parents to set time limits for their children and get recommendations on kid-friendly content.
As rumored, Fire TV will have a gaming component, and Amazon lists Disney, Gameloft, 2K, Ubisoft and Double Fine as some of the publishers that are on board. An optional Fire Game Controller will sell for $40, but users can also play games through the remote control or with a companion phone and tablet app. The games are mostly adaptations of mobile titles, such as Gameloft's Asphalt 8, Minecraft Pocket Edition and Disney's Monsters University; many are free to play, and the average price of a paid game is around $1.85.
Amazon did recently acquire a game studio, Double Helix, and Amazon is now building games specifically for the Fire TV and Kindle Fire tablets. One example Amazon demonstrated is Sev Zero, a third-person shooter that includes some tower defense elements. (Amazon's website shows how a second player can use a Kindle Fire tablet to view the map, collect resources and launch air strikes.)
Fire TV's components are similar to that of a smartphone or tablet, with a quad-core processor, a dedicated graphics processor, 2 GB of RAM and dual-band Wi-Fi. It supports 1080p video and offers Dolby Digital Plus Surround Sound via HDMI or optical output.
Amazon says it set out to fix a few common complaints with existing TV boxes: Performance can be laggy, search is too difficult on a typical remote control, and closed ecosystems don't always offer the services users want. The Fire TV's powerful specs and remote control microphone may solve the first two problems, but with the exception of Apple TV, many other set-top boxes are open to competing music and video services. Still, the gaming element is a unique feature, and the focus on a simple, speedy interface could help Amazon stand out.
Amazon's Fire TV costs $99—same as an Apple TV, but twice the price of the cheapest Roku device—and is shipping today.
Let's talk about Seinfeld. In season three, episode 16 ("The Fix-Up"), Jerry and Elaine get in a heated argument. Kramer steps in and abruptly ends the argument by saying, "Now can't you two see that you're in love with each other?"
Really makes you think.
I'll draw no such parallel between T-Mobile and BlackBerry, although with both companies pulling up the rear in their respective categories, you'd think that maybe they'd be able to find enough in common that they'd try to make it work.
Looks like the sun has set on this relationship, though. The April 1 date-stamp on BlackBerry's press release aside (if this is an elaborate April Fools' joke, it's more sad than funny), BlackBerry head honcho John Chen is quoted as saying the following:
"BlackBerry has had a positive relationship with T-Mobile for many years. Regretfully, at this time, our strategies are not complementary and we must act in the best interest of our BlackBerry customers. We hope to work with T-Mobile again in the future when our business strategies are aligned. We are deeply grateful to our loyal BlackBerry customers and will do everything in our power to provide continued support with your existing carrier or ensure a smooth transition to our other carrier partners."
Perhaps this sounds like sour grapes, but put yourself in Chen's position. First T-Mo stops selling BlackBerry devices in its stores. Then it sends mailers out to current BlackBerry owners to try to get them to upgrade to the iPhone 5s. Then T-Mo CEO John Legere pokes fun at Chen for not having a Twitter account, suggesting he's on MySpace instead.
Now can't you two see that you're in love with each other? No? Neither can we.

Homestar Runner has been dormant since late 2010, but it's back. Hopefully "back" means more than this lone update, but we'll see.
Aside from the various sites I've worked at over the years, I can safely say that HomestarRunner.com is the site I've sunk the most time into. That it hasn't been updated in three and a half years is sad, but there's just so much there already. I'm baffled that the Chapman brothers were able to keep it going for as long as they did.
As far as the most recent update goes, everyone's favorite walking speech impediment plays host to a slew of additions to various blasts from the past – the payoff at the end is a pair of downloadable Homestar and Strong Bad themes for Windows 98. Yes, Windows 98 – complete with desktop backgrounds, icons, startup and shutdown sounds, and more.
We'll see if this is a sign of more to come. I hope it is, but I'll understand if it isn't. If it's an issue of funding, sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo didn't exist back in Homestar's heyday, and the Chapman boys could probably raise a small fortune nowadays if they wanted to resurrect the site for good.
Here's a fun TIME-themed diversion, too: At the end of Strong Bad Email #202, click on the words "duct tape him to the ceiling" to get a peek at Strong Sad and his imaginary friend playing TIME Magazine: The Game. "Spiro Agnew's favorite slacks! That's right!"

On paper, it could be – could be – argued that the Lumigon T2 HD is slightly underpowered, with a dual-core processor and a 720p screen bobbing around in a sea of quad-core, 1080p competitors. That all-important front-facing camera is only a 2.4-megapixel jobber, too, although as every savvy shopper knows, megapixels aren't everything.
Those qualms aside, the phone has a few tricks up its immaculately-pressed sleeve. It's water resistant, which comes in handy considering all those exclusive, sexy, oops-I-spilled-my-drink clubs you frequent. And it's ensconced in stainless steel and damage-resistant glass, which comes in handy if you drop the phone while showing it off to all the lesser people in the already-exclusive club. Oh, and it's dust resistant. Let's get real, though: You have people to handle your dust.
The phone also comes with a dock that can be programmed to turn off the phone's visual and audible notifications when it's docked, so you can make sure to sleep in without being bothered.
Pricing will start at around $1,000 (unlocked, off contract), and you'll need to order it from Denmark when it's available sometime in the second quarter.
If you're looking for another phone with a front-facing flash, check out the Acer Liquid E3. Note, too, that there are so-so workarounds for the iPhone and other Android phones that basically entail blasting you with the white light of your phone's screen as a photo's being taken.
(Side note: I just had to add "selfies" to my blogging software's dictionary. The end is near, friends.)

So here's what would apparently happen if 1,500 people all started crossing the street at Tokyo's Shibuya Crossing while they were looking down at their phones.
You'll notice a handful of things:
According to Kotaku, the video is a joint effort between one of Japan's major wireless companies – NTT Docomo – and Aichi University of Technology, which cobbled the simulation together. The message? I can't read Japanese, but I'll bet it's three-fold: Don't text and walk, watch where you're going, and remember that the Worm will never, ever, ever go out of style.
Computer Simulation of 1,500 People Looking at Smartphones and Walking [Kotaku]
If you remember watching My Girl back in the early '90s and thinking how much you'd love to play a video game based on the movie, you're apparently not alone: Someone has gone to the trouble of creating a version you can play in your browser right now. (In case you're wondering, this wonderfully weird game is clearly not sanctioned or otherwise licensed by the people behind the actual movie.)
You play as Thomas J. (Macaulay Culkin's character). You'll recall he was allergic to bee stings, yes? Well, the game entails little more than walking around a hastily-built side-scrolling level that loosely resembles the small town from the movie.
The object of the game is to avoid being stung by bees. Each time you're stung, your mood ring turns darker and darker until you're eventually stung to death. At that point, you'll see a faux-digitized image of Vada (Anna Chlumsky's character) and hear her sobbing as she peers bleary-eyed through the banister rails of the funeral home, trying to coax Thomas J. back to life while her father (Dan Aykroyd's character) consoles her.
That's the game – sorry for the spoiler. If you haven't seen the movie, go ahead and do so this weekend. I assume you like crying? If not, maybe don't see it.

question about instructions?
katy122June 15, 2008
I am knitting myself a cardigan sweater, I have come to the part of shaping the shoulder...It says "At armhole edge bind off 6 sts twice, then 6 sts once." I have 18 sts left on needle, common sense tells me they are saying, "bind off 18 sts all on the "same row"...is this what I am reading or am I missing something. Thanks..
At armhole edge bind off 6 stitches (you will be on a knit
At armhole edge bind off 6 stitches (you will be on a knit
row) then purl next row and when you get to arhole edge
again on the knit row bind off 6 stitches again (2nd time)
then purl next row then at armhole edge bind off 6 stitches
once. I am assuming you are doing stockinette stitch but
if you aren't then do in pattern.
Hope this makes sense. Good luck.

More 2014 CMA Awards Performers Announced

The 48th annual CMA Awards are quickly approaching, and a few big names have already been announced as performers.
Miranda Lambert brought a little redemption to Sin City with her recent performance at the Route 91 Harvest Festival.
Today it's about Chris, Miranda & honey.
Get ready to get excited! Miranda Lambert has just announced tour stops for her 2015 Certified Platinum Tour.
While on tour stop in Hawaii, a hardworking Miranda Lambert thankfully got a little time for some R&R. The singer hit the beach and showed off her bangin' beach bod.
It's Blake, Miranda & headphones.
Touring for months on end can get tiring for anyone, even the world's biggest superstars, but Kenny Chesney helped fellow country singer Miranda Lambert learn an important lesson in touring and spirit -- and it's one she still follows to this day.
Miranda Lambert donned not one, but two spectacular outfits for an appearance at the 'Fashion Rocks' event Tuesday night (Sept. 9). The 'Mama's Broken Heart' singer went from red carpet sexy to performance sassy in dazzling black and red ensembles.
If anyone can get a secret out of a celebrity, it's Ellen DeGeneres. The comedienne and talk show host has a sly way of getting people to talk, so when Blake Shelton was asked if he and Miranda Lambert would be reproducing soon, he answered.
Miranda Lambert has always had long, gorgeous blonde hair -- until recently. After debuting a short, chicer style, the superstar has gone even shorter!

MSU leads largest soil DNA sequencing effort
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Contact(s): firstname.lastname@example.com, Plant, Soil and Microbial Sciences office: (517) 355-0271, ext. 1287
Scientists from Michigan State University have led the largest soil DNA sequencing effort to date, which sheds light on one of the planet's largest microbial populations.
Considering that a single spoonful of soil holds hundreds of billions of microbial cells, encompassing thousands of species, it's no wonder that the daunting task of an accurate census has never been undertaken.
MSU scientists, working with colleagues from the U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, published their findings in the current issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"It's one of the most diverse microbial habitats on Earth, yet we know surprisingly little about the identities and functions of the microbes inhabiting soil," said Jim Tiedje, MSU Distinguished Professor of microbiology and molecular genetics and of plant, soil and microbial sciences, and one of the co-authors.
Since the release of the first human genome, the applications of DNA sequencing have been extended as a powerful diagnostic technique for gauging the health of the planet's diverse ecological niches and their responsiveness to change. The team's results provide a simple, elegant solution to sifting through the deluge of information gleaned, as well as a sobering reality check on just how hard a challenge these environments will be.
The team compared microbial populations of different soils sampled from Midwestern cornfields, under continuous cultivation for 100 years, with those sourced from pristine expanses of prairie.
"The Great Plains represents the largest expanse of the world's most fertile soils, which makes it important as a reference site and for understanding the biological basis and ecosystem services of its microbial community," Tiedje said. "It sequesters the most carbon of any soil system in the U.S. and produces large amounts of biomass annually, which is key for biofuels, food security and carbon sequestration."
As part of the study, the researchers created a new analytic approach, which makes interpreting the data much easier. They offered a data management "democratization" that empowers scientists who don't have access to cloud- and high-performance computing, to analyze the data
It's comparable to how large jpeg files are shared over the Internet, a process that sheds a substantial amount of data without compromising the image, said C. Titus Brown, MSU assistant professor in bioinformatics.
"I think this can lead to a fundamental shift in thinking," he said. "We are actually converting standard, heavyweight approaches in biological sequence analysis to an ultra-efficient streaming approach."
Even though the study provided 400 billion bases of data, however, it was still insufficient to interrogate the microbial players in the localized soil sample deeply enough, confirming that much more data are needed to study the content of soil metagenomes comprehensively, said Adina Chuang Howe, MSU postdoctoral student of bioinformatics and lead author.

Xian to the Terracotta Warriors by Bus
There are many buses leaving regularly for the Terracotta Warrior museum in front of the Xi'an bus station (east to the train station, outside (in the north) the city walls).
Bus 306 (Chinese bus green 5) leaves from the lot in front of the train station and will take you to a parking lot right in front of the museum site in about an hour (it can take up to 90 minutes in case of traffic jams). A one-way ticket costs ¥7 (pay on the bus). It also stops at several other tourist attractions along the way, e.g. the hot springs. Make sure you don't make the mistake of going to the bus station on the inside of the wall near the train station. That's were there are touts with signs saying bus 5 and bus 306, trying to hustle you onto their private bus. Although they do take you to the destinations, you are forced to go to visit attractions you might not want to go to.
Small buses which are used by the locals (e.g. number 914). These buses will also take you to the Museum however they go through local small roads (no highway express like bus 306) therefore it will take longer to arrive. Not a bad trip if you want to see the local bumpy rural roads.
Most hostels and hotels run tours to the warriors with an English speaking guide. These aren't necessarily better, be prepared to spend a good portion of the day (as with any Chinese tour) visiting "terracotta factories," "museums", "Chinese medicine shops", and other tourist traps. But, you will get to your destination without dealing with the bus (the warriors are quite far outside of town) and not all of the public buses that go there are legitimate.
Like everywhere else, taxi-drivers in China are both lovable and detestable. In Kunming, we saw a convoy of `loving heart' taxis ferrying passengers supposedly on welfare for an outing. Such a sight gives us a good impression of the taxi-drivers who are doing a charitable act for society. But elsewhere in Xian, we met a taxi-driver who was out to squeeze money from an ignorant tourist. He was supposed to turn on the meter when we got up his taxi intending to go to the Airport. `It's a long way," we don't go by the meter. "RMB 120" which we bargained to RMB 100. "Okay," he said, "Believe me, I'll not accept anymore than that" But on the way, he mentioned that I had to pay for the road toll to the Airport – RMB10, which we agreed and RMB10 for `waiting', which we rejected. The Airport, however, wasn't that far away. The road toll was in fact RMB 5 for entering the road leading to the airport, but the driver quickly explained that another RMB 5 was for leaving the road from the airport. Metered taxis are, at their worst are better than pirate cars posing as taxis although they could be cheaper. I was told that they are not insured and tend to take you places, which you have not asked for. At the time of our visit, March/April 2005, the turn-on charges for the taxis at various cities are:
Suzhou –RMB5 (Avoid taking private cars or taxis or accepting offers from `brokers' waiting outside the train station. Walk further out to a queue where `regulated' taxis are picking up passengers from.)
Shanghai –RMB10/18 (Airport mini-bus taxis are available for tourists with large number of luggage. The turn-on charge is RMB18. I believe the choice is ours to take the normal taxis)
Kunming –RMB7/8
Xian –RMB6/8
- Budget Travel
- Road Trip
it's convenience to take around in Xian by taxi. It could be take you about $1US or so. Taking the bus of coure is vey cheap but sometimes crouded. If you are not in hurry and want to have speicial and easy feeling, try the pedicab.

He's Always Among Us
As we enter this week of continued celebrations, there may be many that feel alone. But you are not alone. For there was a special gift given this season to ensure that there is always someone among you; watching, waiting, and anticipating the day you welcome Him into your heart.
Beating the Holiday Blues
We have much to be grateful for; even if we think we don't. Is there enough room in your heart to help lift another person's heart this season?
Slavery Still Exists
We cannot afford for another generation to be continued repeat offenders; either dying behind prison bars, or killing each other on the streets.
A Love Letter From God
A great part of our African American Culture has been our Faith. Our faith has given us hope and light. However, so many today have forsaken their belief in God because of the gravity of today's world. Here is a love letter from God to you. May it encourage you.
Giving in the African American Community
As we look over our history as a culture, African Americans have been strong in the area of giving. Our ancestors understood what it meant to give. Many shared and had a spirit of giving because that is what kept us alive. It was a way of life. What are we doing to keep that spirit alive?
Oxtail Stew With Coconut Rice and Black Beans
Looking for a twist to your Holiday fare? Then try this easy recipe for Oxtail Stew with Coconut Rice and Black Beans.
A Stress Free Holiday Season
The Holidays are fast approaching. No need to feel stressed or overwhelmed. With preparation and delegation, you can enjoy a stress-free Holiday. Well, almost stress free!
Election Day Knowledge
It is Election Day again. It is vital that we know why and who we are voting for. be an informed voter, and make the best decision on what is best not only for you and your family. But your community as a whole.
Giving Thanks for the Life You Have
Our life may not be all that we want it to be; but we are alive, and can take the opportunity to count the blessings instead of the problems.
Black Women & Breast Cancer
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Breast cancer seems to be claiming the lives of many African American women than any other race. What can we do to help prevent a greater loss of life, and to get women out their homes and to a doctor for early detection and life sustaining treatment?

After 9/11 Alan Greenspan knew, if he needed any further reinforcement, that we're living in a new world - the world of a global capitalist economy that is vastly more flexible, resilient, open, self-directing, and fast-changing than it was even 20 years ago. It's a world that presents us with enormous new possibilities but also enormous new challenges. The Age of Turbulence is Alan Greenspan's incomparable reckoning with the nature of this new world - how we got here, what we're living through, and what lies over the horizon, for good and for ill-channeled through his own experiences working in the command room of the global economy for longer and with greater effect than any other single living figure. He begins his account on that September 11th morning, but then leaps back to his childhood, and follows the arc of his remarkable life's journey through to his more than 18-year tenure as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, from 1987 to 2006, during a time of transforming change.
Alan Greenspan shares the story of his life first simply with an eye toward doing justice to the extraordinary amount of history he has experienced and shaped. But his other goal is to draw readers along the same learning curve he followed, so they accrue a grasp of his own understanding of the underlying dynamics that drive world events. In the second half of the book, having brought us to the present and armed us with the conceptual tools to follow him forward, Dr. Greenspan embarks on a magnificent tour de horizon of the global economy. He reveals the universals of economic growth, delves into the specific facts on the ground in each of the major countries and regions of the world, and explains what the trend-lines of globalization are from here. The distillation of a life's worth of wisdom and insight into an elegant expression of a coherent worldview, The Age of Turbulence will stand as Alan Greenspan's personal and intellectual legacy.

too late to transplant peonies
Am trying to redo my garden. Hot here but decided I needed to move a peony. It's not doing well. I separated it into 2 pieces and put it to decent soil and have watered continually but it looks like it is not going to make it. I know the time wasn't optimal but is there any hope of saving it? The whole garden is a mess and I have other peony's that need to be repositioned - the hemlocks are taking over - which is good. Any advice on how to keep them going?
You give no hint of your location, but most of the country is hot and dry and I would not move a peony unless I had no choice. You don't give enough details of HOW you moved and divided your peony to guess your chances of success. If your divisions were big enough, and your plant was not diseased when moved, you may get new growth in the spring even if the plant seems to be dying now. Al
Now is the time that growers start digging so you can go ahead and move. One hint is to allow the cut area to air dry before planting. Doing this will lessen chances of rot. You may not see any growth until next spring.
I would back off on the watering.
I have several peonies to be moved this year. DH built a deer fence, and I'd like to move the peonies OUT of this area so I have more room for lilies etc. I am going to put several peonies on the perimeter of the fence.
I was very interested to read that growers start digging up their peonies about now. If I dig them up and let the tubers dry out a bit, I expect the foliage will dry up too and die off. Is that indeed what I should expect?
It does suddenly seem cool and more fall like. I have so much rearranging to do, I'd love to get a jump start on the peonies--I had been planing to wait until next month, but the new spots are ready. WOuld be great if I could get the peonies in and the area mulched before too many weeds start to grow.
We are in SE Iowa.
There is less stress on the plants if you remove the leaves when digging at this time. If you cut the leaves off the plants should send their energy into making hair roots rather than leaves. If you leave the leaf's on the plants will try to provide nurishment from the existing roots for the leaves rather than establishing themselves.
I will not comment on tree peonies other than the buds for next year are already established so it makes no difference to remove leave's or leave.
For those of us in the west,our peonies do not start to yellow the foliage until November, and all the summer months the foliage is feeding the roots for next years flower stems. Even though peonies have ample reserves stored in their roots, I do not like to give up a years nourishment. Al
I am located just North of K.C. on the Iowa line. I transplanted a couple of small pieces of peony in the Spring. They did not bloom. I was thinking that I should dig them up and make sure I didn't plant them too deep. How should I know how deep they should be or should I just leave them be, maybe it was too early to expect anything.
Casi, peonies require patience. They may or may not bloom next year since you state they were small when planted. Did leaves appear? If they did good. If not you may want to carefully brush some of the surface dirt away from where you planted.
Of course you could plan on a day trip to KC on October 1. The HPS sale will be held at Metcalf South Shopping center, Metcalf and 95th on the first starting at 10 in the morning. I helped dig yesterday and packed those today. Will be packing if normal until the last minute. This year there are many intersectionals in either field grown divisions or from a grower in Canada which will be in small pots.
Always a good shopping trip. Expecting several species, osti, teni, and several others including a glaucinium, sp, Japanese Wood Poppy, which is supposedly somewhat difficult to grow but mine is about two feet across and I do nothing including most years removing the surrounding weeds. I have a feeling that the weeds may provide shade and moisture that it likes.
For members there is a potluck and special auction the evening before. Some are very rare or very new.

⬅ Return to Just In Time For Independence Day, A Renewed Call For A National ID Card
Dasve Francis
Jul 3rd, 2012 at 6:59pm
I think Democrats, Republicans and of course ultra left progressives are under the impression that the Constitutional TEA PARTY is declining? This could be any further from the truth, since hundreds each day are joining this split from the GOP and causing frantic demonstrations of nerves in both parties. People who have had no interest in voting before are materializing out of society, because they are now well aware that the Democrats essentially will ignore election laws, as they have done for years. Using any oral device they can, including 'Voter Suppression, Political Correctness' and revealing their true nature of being hard core, anti-American. The truth is that without any official oversight, non citizens will vote in a violation of the law and this is what Democrats want? They don't heed who votes as long as it is for Obama, whether by fraudulent absentee ballot or voting in any precinct. More states than ever before are revising their laws, so any person who votes must have a picture ID, although even this isn't foolproof.
With the outcome of the Supreme Courts decisive answer, America is under an even more danger of a illegal alien invasion? The fact the Obama administration have ignored many elements of the Constitution, should warn all of us of the evident avenue towards Socialism. A large majority of President Obama voters desire his massive escalation of corpulent government, offering welfare, food stamps and public giveaways. These are dregs that have probably never worked in their lives and live of the taxpayers. 40 percent of Americans have never paid anything in federal or state taxes. It is the same with over 20 million illegal aliens who stay in dark corners of our society who pay nothing. Many illegal alien families are collecting large sums of money from child tax credits, when even the child is not resident here? That is $4.2 billion dollars that should be provided to the lawful impoverished people.
I don't blame the illegal aliens, but a lying decade of governments that have intentionally overlooked our laws; otherwise illegal entry would be a felony. Not just the Democrats but the Republicans as well, that's why we need desperately to remove old incumbents entrenched in Washington and replace them with fresh TEA PARTY Senators and House Representatives. America is become a hive of corruption, that emanates from Congress. That isn't to say that all the politicians are unwilling to fight for the rights of all Americans. But what is going on, when 8 percent of birthright citizens, naturalized and permanent residence are jobless? While throughout the country illegal migrants and immigrants are employed. This is a disgrace to us as nation that supposedly believes in the "rule of Law." This happens when the federal government is truly the instigators of this immigration mess and should be held accountable? Not border states as Arizona, being threatened by a federal agency uncontrollable. Arizona doing the right thing for its people was a scapegoat for generations of incompetence.
The new ObamaCare law is yet another magnet, which will attract millions more illegal aliens over our threshold. My guess in some clandestine way illegal immigrants will be able to take advantage of this health care law and further drain state treasuries? Americans are already at a disadvantage, when it comes to healthcare as the majority is forced to pay through federal mandate for illegal alien emergency care? Not the farmers who employ them, not the thousands of businesses that pay under the table; again it's the taxpayer. The open border zealots want a global government and their philosophy is just that; wide open borders. Why does being in this sovereign nation, without documentation and violating the law, give illegal aliens the privilege of stealing the lawful populace money. Why must we, the taxpayer be forced to pay for the children of illegal aliens education, a family's health care?
I don't know what Mitt Romney has in mind on Immigration, but the TEA PARTY says No? Americans have been taken for granted, as have the courageous Border Patrol agents who protect the fence; it's hard to believe that there a big signs in the deserts along the border, in our own country warning us of entering. That signifies it's dangerous to enter these regions, because of the drug cartels and armed foreign nationals. It's a proven fact that property owners along the border regions are fearful for their lives and must carry a firearm all the time.
To really make life unsympathetic for illegal alien criminals, our gutless Republicans should assume E-Verify as a mandatory apparatus without fail. Rep. Lamar Smiths bill 'The Legal Workforce Act' (H.R. 2885) informs a business owner whether an individual has a right to work. Currently it is a voluntary policy, but citizens can change this by rattling the cages of the Republican Party. It has become a remarkable electronic program, which detects unauthorized non citizens already hired, but then flagged and can only be resolved by stepping into Social Security offices. No illegal alien would dream of doing that, even if they are in possession of stolen ID documents? Of course the mainstream Liberal press is adamant in denouncing the E-Verify business checking Database?
Just as vital in importance is the BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP Bill (H.R.140) amendment law. This disqualifies illegal alien mothers from gaining immediate acceptance of their unborn baby smuggled through ports of entry, either across the ocean or through our limited border fence defenses. Undoubtedly a misinterpreted law that was originally consigned to slaves during the Civil War in the emancipation decree, not an identified ruling by SCOTUS, but unfortunately a huge tax burden that must be resolved. These Foothold children are costing $100 of billions of dollars in welfare, cash payments, education and health care treatment to the states and pouring through the cracks in our laws at a rate of 400.000 a year. The only obstruction is the special interests groups in the halls of Congress, which pour large donations into both parties. Pro-illegal alien forces in the Democrat and Republican Party and stopping these bills from becoming the law of the land.
No! You Republicans and Democrats the TEA PARTY is swelling, not shrinking as you will see in November. All people of every race, religion or political party affiliate should join a local chapter. Obviously people who scorned our immigration laws are not welcome. We can relieve this nation of politicians, governors, mayors and all others, who don't comply with the Constitution. The Rupert Murdoch personages are isolated from the real world in their mansions, same as the celebrities who know nothing about buying a
This is the time when every American who believes in the 'Rule of Law' and steps forward to let their Senator or Congress person knows how you will vote. Tell the politician's aide and that you want them to pass E-Verify and the Birthright Citizenship bills. Citizen voters should phone Congress at the central Washington, D.C., Switchboard at 202-224-3121. Insist YOUR CONGRESSMAN/WOMAN TO fulfill their obligation to the oath of office and stop pandering to the businesses that use discount workers or the Democrats who are overlooking illegal aliens voting. You have the power of the VOTE to demand they sponsor these to policies or we are doomed to a future, without any restrictions on President Obama to initiate another spending spree. The country has a near $16 trillion deficit that must be stopped and now.
