Most shade tolerant hydrangea
I have a wooded backyard with tall oak and tulip trees surrounding a lawn. At the edge of the lawn I have several mophead hydrangeas that are doing great. However, I want to plant some hydrangea under the trees as part of a woodland garden. Lower limbs on the trees are trimmed so there is filtered light but I still need some shade loving hydrangea. What type might perform well in such a setting? Thanks in advance!
oakleaf hydrangeas should do well, and annabelle hydrangea.
ALL hydrangeas are shade tolerant - that's the nature of their origins.....woodland understory shrubs. Too much shade will reduce blooming on any type - filtered or dappled light is nearly ideal. Otherwise, morning sun and shade during the hottest part of the day.
Actually, oakleafs and arborescens are a couple of the most sun tolerant species, along with grandiflora. And oakleafs in much shade will not develop very good fall color.
You are welcome to try some of the ones listed below. They are recommended especially for shade in one of my hydrangea books. However, I doubt the author meant 'shade' as in dense shade so allow s o m e light to reach the plant so you can enjoy some blooms.
Immaculata, Maculata, Marechal Foch, Mme. Travouillon, Parzifal, Quadricolor, Soeur Therese

File- A policeman arrests a suspect in Beirut. (The Daily Star/Mohammad Azakir)
BEIRUT: Police arrested an alleged serial rapist in the Beirut suburb of Aramoun, the Internal Security Forces said in a statement Tuesday night.
The statement said the alleged rapist assaulted women in the Aramoun area and robbed them at gunpoint.
The police also confiscated two cars the man used to carry out his crimes.
The ISF intervened after several women in the Aramoun area, south of Beirut, lodged harassment complaints against the man. The man was said to have terrorized the area and confined women to their homes past a certain hour.

Faster than broadband, more powerful than that lame-o "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" trailer — it's Super Global Hero!
The U.S. State Department asked citizens of the world, from Moscow to Madagascar, to design a superhero who represents global values. And since Washington needed a guide through the pow! zap! world of comics, it turned to the reliable source: San Diego's own Comic-Con.
"No matter where we live in the world, or what our external circumstances are, people are more similar than dissimilar," said David Glanzer, Comic-Con International's director of marketing and public relations, who flew to D.C. for this international online discussion.
"Righteousness, justice, strength in the face of adversity — these transcend cultural differences," he said.
Glanzer was joined in Washington by Evan Ryan, assistant secretary of state for educational and cultural affairs, and — via remote connection — Naif Al-Mutawa, a Kuwaiti psychologist who created "The 99," a comic book featuring Muslim superheroes.
Superheroes@State was scheduled to begin at 4:30 a.m., Pacific Standard Time. The live webchat was to be broadcast online at 1.usa.gov/1faZ5qc.
Sound Goofy? A Bizarro project from some Joker, spending money like water (or at least like Daddy Warbucks)?
Not so, insisted Susan Pittman. "We're looking for new and innovative ways to reach our audience," said Pittman, a State Department spokeswoman. "And seeing how this is virtually done, there is very little money involved."
(Glanzer can attest to that: Comic-Con, not the taxpayers, is picking up his tab.)
Still, Washington has spent millions on "soft power" campaigns. For decades, the State Department has used international exchanges of academics, artists, journalists and others to bolster America's image abroad. Many, like the Fulbright Program, are aimed at mid-career professionals.
This one, though, is meant for "a young audience," Pittman said. "This is typically a time when people have a lot of ideas and are formulating their world views and experiences."
Superheroes@State began with the announcement, over social media, of a contest. People were asked to submit an image of a superhero without borders, a character who could represent the world and its highest values.
"This is a way to start conversations," Pittman said. "We want to show people that there are not a lot of differences between themselves and others."
And why not launch that conversation with an art form that has proven international appeal? At Comic-Con, Glanzer annually sees books and artists from Japan and South Korea, Brazil and India, China and Mexico.
"We are starting to see the diversity of comics," he said. "It reaches far beyond the borders of the United States."
Take, for instance, "The 99." This 8-year-old comic book series has a premise that may — scratch that: will — sound familiar. Ninety-nine ordinary folks suddenly gain superpowers (a la "Spider-Man"), a development that brings them into conflict with super villains (a la "Superman," "Batman," "Star Wars" and an overflowing intergalactic toy chest more).
If the 99 superpowers loosely follow those that the Koran attributes to Allah and if the archenemy's lust for power and his twisted theology echo Osama bin Laden, well, Al-Mutawa doesn't push the parallels too far.

Kudos to CVS, which just got my business.
My parents, too, were heavy smokers and utimately succumbed to smoking-related diseases. What a terrible waste of a wonderful generation due to Big Tobacco's greed.
I'm so grateful that my children are growing up in a generation where smoking is definitely uncool. Maybe there's hope for the future.

THis is personal opinion but I've always thought golf courses to be one of the biggest wastes of water. I let my lawn and garden suffer so that sprinklers can run nonstop keeping golf courses green? Just an opinion, folks.

No televised special can compare with the magic of Christmas in Santa Barbara during the 60s and 79s. It's that reality I'm nostalgic for as I sit snowed in where I somehow managed to wind up "living".
I wish you all the Merriest of Cristmases and a magical and happy New Year!

As for resoures, I have to recommend Freecycle (www.freecycle.org). Freecycle is a community offering members the opportunity to offer or receive items free of charge. Groups are local but post online via a Yahoo group. I've received numerous books, clotthing items, computer equipment, even a television set (other people's trash becoming my treasures) and found new homes for stuff I no longer need. Recommend everyone check this one out!

Brisco...Brisco! Hailing from Florida, the man that claims he is a "star that raps," looks ensure that fans don't forget his name [by incorporating it into the clever and catchy hook] on his new single, I'm Into That. Brisco's flow is solid and the production work from Cool N Dre is on point! Sporting a unique sound that will make it stand out amongst similar tracks, a trumpet-sounding synthesizer adds an inspirational angle that should get heavy rotation in both the clubs and the iPods of athletes looking to gear up for a big game.

For a guy getting slammed all over the media for running the Dodgers into the ground Frank McCourt did not do too bad as owner.
The Irish American has increased the value of the team three-fold according to experts, to close to a billion dollars.
He doubled team revenue from $156 million to $286 million in 2009 --and he made them contenders for several years by hiring a top class manger in Joe Torre.
The Dodgers reached the play offs four times in his six seasons of owning them and they went to back to back National League Championship Games for the first time in 31 years.
Not a bad record when you consider so many other 'normal' owners who could never post such results.
Sure McCourt got caught in a very nasty divorce battle and has ended up paying out $130 million in a settlement.
Let's face it, it was the wife who allegedly had the affair with the driver setting up all the tabloid frenzy.
But the Dodgers owner looks likely to recoup all his investment in the sale for the team which will go for close to a billion dollars .
Despite all the negative press Frank McCourt has actually done the Dodgers a big favor by making them a very desirable team for prospective buyers again.
He is being unfairly pilloried in the press.

... As we wandered through the gardens, we also came across a beautiful brick and stone staircase which had banisters that doubled as little water canals.
From the gardens, we made our way to the Alcazaba, the oldest and most ruined part of the complex. As we scrambled over the ruins, we got fine city views from its highest watch tower and views over the snow covered Sierra Nevada mountains. This fortress once defended the Alhambra's 2000 residents. ...

We stayed 3 nights with half board. Our room was on the 3rd floor with the Lugano lake view. The room was excellent with a fantastic view. The only downside is that one could hear the cars passing by, people talking and the activities that goes on in front of the hotel. The SPA area was very good and well stocked with everything that one needs. But too dark for my taste. The big disappointment was the food at the restaurant. Starting from the appetizer till desert the food had no taste to it. As a good cook I was completely disappointed. Luckily the hotel was nice enough to reimburse the second night. On the other hand I have to say that service was EXCELLENT! throughout the entire hotel.

Trust government? Fuhgeddaboudit
New poll reveals most voters are dissatisfied as crucial election nears
Oregonians, like other Americans, do not trust their government even as they prepare to elect new officials Nov. 4.
By a substantial majority of 59 percent, they say Oregons system of government may have its problems but is sound. Democrats are more likely to say so than Republicans and independents, but there is no majority from any group on the other side.
Yet by an almost identical majority of 58 percent, Oregonians also say they do not trust their state and local governments to spend their money wisely.
In a different DHM Research survey conducted last month for Oregon Public Broadcasting, 11 percent strongly approved and 35 percent somewhat approved of the Oregon Legislature. In the DHM survey conducted recently, only 27 percent saw their city government favorably, and 28 percent had similar feelings for their county government.
According to other recent surveys by DHM Research, 51 percent of voters sampled felt Oregon was going in the right direction; 39 percent, on the wrong track.
But 67 percent also said candidates for governor, and 68 percent said candidates for U.S. senator, were not addressing the issues they thought the election should focus on even though there was no consensus on what those issues are.
Men were more dissatisfied than women in both races.
In the race for governor, Republicans and independents were more dissatisfied than Democrats.
In the race for senator, dissatisfaction came most from outside the Willamette Valley and the Portland area. While a majority of 61 percent felt no change from previous elections, 24 percent said they had more enthusiasm and 15 said they had less for the Nov. 4 election.
DHM Research conducted online surveys with 447 people in September about what they thought of government, and with 451 people earlier in October about what they thought of politics. Neither survey named candidates or specified ballot measures or general issues.
In the election survey, 48 percent of those sampled opposed online voting, mostly because of questions about security; 36 percent favored it.
Oregon now votes by mail ballots, although voter registration can be done online.
Asked whether the Legislature should be elected on a nonpartisan basis, 54 percent said yes, 39 percent said no.
Although a 2006 study commission said such a step should be considered, the Senate voted down a proposal in 2007.
The DHM Research surveys complement some findings in the 2013 Oregon Values & Beliefs Project survey, which also was conducted by DHM Research by telephone and online means in April and May of 2013.
There were actually three separate surveys ranging from 1,835 to 3,971 participants.
They were sponsored by a coalition of public and nonprofit institutions.
In the 2013 survey, while nearly all those sampled supported government and taxation for the common good, 64 percent concluded that they do not trust government to spend tax money wisely, and 63 percent concluded that Oregons tax system is not fair.
When asked how they would change the tax system, Oregonians disagree and their dispute is not limited to whether Oregon should institute a sales tax.
The sample was evenly divided 42 percent agreeing, 43 percent disagreeing on whether Oregons tax system was unstable with its dependence on the income tax for schools and state services and the property tax for local services.
Oregon is one of five states without a general sales tax.
While 77 percent said those who made the most should pay the most, 61 percent said Oregons personal income tax was too high.
They also were evenly split 36 percent agreed, 38 percent disagreed on whether Oregons tax code had too many exemptions.
Based on the type of measurement, Oregon ranks in the five top states for personal income taxes. While 42 percent agreed that reducing taxes would increase economic growth, 41 percent said it would cut funding for public services.
One potential point of agreement: Half the sample said they strongly or somewhat favor a tax aimed at reducing carbon emissions.
Spending priorities
When asked about how they would change government spending, more Oregonians have shifted in the past decade to the position that not enough is being spent on some services or that they do not know instead of saying the amount spent is about right.
The 2013 survey ranked support for spending on 20 government services. At the top were spending for public schools, 81 percent labeling it as very or somewhat important; public safety (police and fire), 79 percent; air and water quality, 74 percent; road and highway maintenance, 72 percent; community colleges, 68 percent, protection of farm and forest land, and disaster preparedness, 66 percent each.
The two that fell below 50 percent: New roads and highways, 49 percent; tax breaks and other subsidies for economic development, 43 percent.
Only spending for public schools commanded a majority 58 percent as a very important priority.
The 2013 survey concludes: Overall, the survey results might be seen to imply that the public wants more than it is willing to pay for. But the findings also suggest that Oregonians may be willing to pay more in taxes if they can be convinced that government is fair, trustworthy, and efficient. These perceptions are critical at the ballot box as well as in policy implementation.

In 1979, David Hirsch, now 69, bought 1,000 acres of sheep farm up on a craggy ridge above the Pacific Ocean in Sonoma County. Then he had to decide what to do with it. George Bohan had planted grapes in the area previously, but Hirsch was a pioneer in what would become the Sonoma Coast appellation. Wine Spectator's James Molesworth explains.

TUNKHANNOCK —Wyoming County Auditor Laura Dickson will seek the 117th State House District seat currently held by Republican Karen Boback in 2014.
The district shifted geographically last year under redistricting. Previously it included two municipalities in Columbia County, eight townships in Wyoming County and 23 municipalities in Luzerne County.
It now includes just nine municipalities in Luzerne County, four in Lackawanna County and all 23 in Wyoming County. It still has a Republican advantage when it comes to voter registration.
Boback, 62, of Harveys Lake, said she doesn't take anything for granted, including the voter registration disparity.
Dickson, a Democrat and the president of the Wyoming County Democratic Women's Society, made the announcement Thursday afternoon at Lazybrook Park in her hometown of Tunkhannock.
"I decided to run based on the conversations I've had with people across the district and their dissatisfaction with our current representation in Harrisburg," she said.
Dickson, who has served as Wyoming County auditor since 2010, said her record related to fiscal responsibility will serve her well if sent to Harrisburg.
"We need to make sure that every penny is being spent properly, especially when so many municipal and county budgets are shrinking. We need to balance the needs of our citizens with the financial resources available to us," said Dickson.
She and her husband, Jim, have been married for 34 years and have a daughter, Sharon Dickson-Jacoby.
Dickson, 58, stated her focus as state representative would be on promoting economic development through education, infrastructure rehabilitation, and development of new "green" industries.
"If we can coordinate our education system with the needs of potential employers, we can create hundreds, if not thousands, of new jobs in this district. We need a representative that will work every day to achieve that goal."
Boback said her voting record is strong, her committment to her constituents, regardless of county, is too.
The new district, she said, actually "represents Karen Boback." She noted she was born in Lackawanna County, worked in Wyoming County and lives in Luzerne County.

"I customized these invites with shades of purple and sage. They were SO cute!! I was worried it would be a very time consuming and frustrating task because I had to customize quite a bit including the main wording and didn't know if it could be done. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was and how nice their customer service is. The quality was very good and the standard paper it came in was nice and thick. These will perfectly compliment our outdoor, rustic wedding!"
"Text has enough flourish while still being easily readable - and the writing was not too small, which was a problem with other invites we had considered! Nice thick paper, back design did not show through to the front. Tree image was very clear, not blurry or smudged. Love this design!"
"We ordered these in watermelon with the white pearl shimmer cardstock. Absolutely beautiful, already received tons of compliments! If you're doing a vintage/ shabby chic theme, these are perfect! The quality is fantastic! We also ordered the platinum silver shimmer euro flap envelopes & the matching envelope liners. Very easy to put together and a very nice compliment to the invitations. The only issue we've had is with printing addresses on the envelopes, the ink doesn't want to dry. However, you can buy a fixative at a craft store to spray on it and that solves the problem. All in all, very impressed with the invitations and would definitely recommend them!"
"I don't normally leave reviews, but I was so happy with these invites that I wanted to share my thoughts. The customer service was exceptional, the turn around rate for edits was fast and they arrived promptly. I had looked through hundreds of invites and searched several sites, but kept coming back to Wedding Paper Divas. Their prices were competitive and the invites are of strong beautiful quality. We needed clear wording with a delicate touch and these invites came through! I'm looking forward to mailing these out soon!!"
"I ordered the black version of this card, and it is absolutely gorgeous! I'm using a lot of bright wildflowers in my wedding, so this invitation complements the theme very well. Another reason I gave them a five star review is because of their customer service. I almost freaked out when I saw that my venue had changed addresses but hadn't called me. They changed it after 4 days of submitting my order for invitations on here! I contacted Wedding Paper Divas and they were so understanding. They sent us 200 invitations with the new address free of charge. I will forever be a returning customer. Thank you so much Wedding Paper Divas! :)"

Gorgeous Art and Awesome Awkwardness
Uncanny X-Men #539 surprises in many ways. Along with the addition of new artist Ibraim Roberson, this issue features the return of Hope and her squad to the realm of Uncanny, from which they have been absent for ten issues. Hope is an interesting, if polarizing, character, and I (along with many other fans, I'm sure) have been waiting for the awkward confrontation between Hope and Wolverine. We get that in this issue, and it does not disappoint.
At the beginning of the issue, Hope, Idie, and Laurie (now called "Transonic") are discussing shopping while Wolverine and Teon spar. I am a little annoyed by the fact that almost every time Laurie has a speaking role, it concerns shopping, but I am glad to see some more character development for these teens.
After being kidnapped whilst shopping by lackeys of the Crimson Commando, which is random, but not implausible, Hope is released from captivity by none other than the Wolverine. The awkward dialogue between them is just great to read. For example, when Hope asks Wolverine, "We get cut to pieces over each other and you won't even talk?" and he replies, "You remind me of an old road. The idea of going down it again has me worried going on scared." It is obvious that Hope's similarity to Jean Grey and Phoenix is bugging Logan out and putting him in a rare vulnerable position. Extra kudos are awarded for the brutality in the Crimson Commando's assault on Hope. Good thing Logan and his deux ex machina healing power was in the vicinity (however I would have enjoyed seeing a panel of Hope with her nose cut off)!
All in all, this issue is an excellent beginning to one of the last important arcs for the Uncanny X-Men. In my opinion, this issue will be an important reference to the happenings in "Schism," but we shall see. May I now take this time to extol the greatness of the artwork in this issue? It is marvelously gritty, yet refined and precise. Bravo! Additionally, the cover, by Simone Bianchi, is stunning. This issue, in summation, is a must-have for the art alone, but the story is great too.

Machinima, the video entertainment network for young males, and ULTRA Music have established a partnership aimed at boosting engagement for both brands.
Machinima, the video entertainment network for young males, and ULTRA Music have established a partnership aimed at boosting engagement for both brands.
Under the agreement, Machinima will exclusively represent ULTRA content on YouTube and will oversee all ad sales on the ULTRA channel, and related content. ULTRA Records YouTube channel will be incorporated into Machinima's distribution network, and Machinima and ULTRA will also work together on additional ULTRA content that could be distributed on other channels within the network.
The new ULTRA partnership makes sense on so many levels, for both brands, says Allen DeBevoise, chairman, co-founder and chief executive of Machinima, adding that the same fans, creators, and contributors on Machinima's network also listen to and engage with ULTRA's artists.
"Our viewers are the most engaged audience on YouTube and ULTRA Music content will provide yet another reason for our fans to tune-in to Machinima," he comments.
Patrick Moxey, president of ULTRA Music adds: "As YouTube is now one of the most powerful platforms being used to distribute digital media and advertising, this partnership with Machinima is a great step forward for our artists and our music".
ULTRA Music currently has the number one YouTube channel for electronic music boasting over 1 million subscribers and over 2 billion views.
Machinima is a dominant channel on YouTube and serves over 2.6 billion video views per month. It also reaches over 262 million viewers monthly.

text: I have a PhD in Conservation Biology from the University of New Orleans and currently work as a postdoctoral research associate for Shaun Winterton at CDFA. Up to this point my research has focused on the systematics of neotropical butterflies in the family Nymphalidae. However I am in general interested in the evolution of interesting and particular life history traits. Taxa with interesting life history attributes that lack a phylogenetic hypothesis typically lure me. I am also interested in the biogeography of highly diverse biota such as the Amazon. I am committed to spreading knowledge on systematics and propagating my passion for phylogenies and for natural classifications, it is this endeavor, the purpose of my career.

Radar Could Save Bats From Wind Turbines 116
from the holy-pressure-drop dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
The guy who noticed this was using a device that detects the ultrasonics emitted by bats.
Instead of setting a radar to pump out radio waves, why not set a device like that to send an amplified return?
Nah, nothing so direct.
Radar pulse hits bat. Pulse generates heat, which produces sound waves, inside the bats head (sounds scary, but we've been operating proximate to radar machines since WWII). I've heard of this effect elsewhere, and can readily believe it might be more pronounced in bats than humans. Sound confuses/diverts/drives off bat - they're not sure how exactly, but any number of theories might explain this behaviour.
I can only begin to imagine the complications of wind farms interfering with military radars which scan much closer to the Earth's surface
Turbines are a problem when they reflect signals back to the radar with sufficient Doppler shift to get past filters for static reflections. The emission from this device won't be near the frequency of the military radars (you would think) so there is unlikely to be a problem.
You have to be very careful with sonic systems and creatures like bats and flying foxes. There are arguments afoot here in Australia that many sonic systems are waayyyyyy overpowered, causing bats to freak out and drop their young, or fall straight out of the sky and hurt themselves. Although technically this is a deterrent, it isn't really a good thing for the bats, which is the main point of the system. It might be like trying to keep humans away from an area by blasting our optic nerves with a near-blinding psychedelic lightshow and being a little miffed when the human falls over backwards in shock, tumbles down a hill and breaks their legs. Whoops.
Intrigued, I did some google searching about bladeless wind turbines and there are some links but perhaps not any actual real life comparisons. Do you know of any such?
It seems to me though, from what I've heard recently, that a bladed wind turbine extracts power from the area that the blades cover whereas a rotating cylinder [ecofriend.org] would only extract power from the area near the cylinder, even if the cylinders were arranged in a more traditional configuration [ecofriend.org] and the catavent [bloggingthegreen.com] system would seem to intercept even less wind
Here you an find a plethora of companies making such devices [ecobusinesslinks.com], I hope this helps.
Actually some bladeless turbines make power through some different principles than bladed ones. For example, the Savonius Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (the romans were using it to pump water using a screw) derives power from planetary swing-by, like a pelton wheel.
A bladed turbine DOES only generate power from what the blades cover. However, it's from what they cover at any given time. They don't magically catch wind they're not in front of. It's very much based on their area (among other factors) and the same is true of VAWTs.
Provide a link and you might get an Informative instead of a Funny.

Ever been bullied online or through a text?
Ever felt like no one could/would understand?
Ever wished you had someone else in a similar sitution to talk to?
Do you wish for cyberbullying to come to an end?
Most importantly, would you join a GL club to help make everyone more aware of how cyberbullying has affected lives in a negative way?
G.A.C.B. (Girls Against Cyber Bullying) is a club I have created for those of us who want to get/give advice on bullying situations that happen on the computer/cell phone. I need more girls to join, and I really want to help because I know how it feels to be bullied!! Also, if you haven't been bullied online/through cell phones etc. you should join because EVERYONE needs to be aware of why cyberbullying is becoming such a big issue with many teens today. Thank you, and please consider joining the club, it would mean so much to me.

"Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul." "Invictus" by William Ernest HenleyIn our wanderings through the strange world of interfaith we are seeking to understand and to celebrate the richness of our diversity, but I believe that the seeds of that understanding and celebration are rooted in a deeper appreciation of the human universality of our experience of life and of the s … [Read more...]

The Spirit of the Season
As we enter the winter holiday season I am struck by the discord that seems to arise each year at this time over whom the holiday "belongs to". It's as if there is a conclusion that the celebrations of the season are limited to one religion only, that the celebrations are a finite commodity to be "owned" by one group or another. How silly. Just because I celebrate Yule, someone else celebrates Christmas, and another joins with family to honor Kwanzaa doesn't mean that any of us impacts the meanin … [Read more...]
Hometown Pilgrimage – 2014
Every year the Interfaith Mission Service (IMS) here in Huntsville sponsors a Hometown Pilgrimage with the express purpose of celebrating and embracing the religious diversity of the City of Huntsville. This year's Hometown Pilgrimage is co-sponsored by the University of Alabama-Huntsville Office of Diversity and the City of Huntsville's Office of Multicultural Affairs. The Hometown Pilgrimage began on 2 September 2014 and runs until 2 November. This year the Pilgrimage has included a number of … [Read more...]
Bringing Them All Back Home
In 2012 the suicide rate among combat veterans reached an all-time high with some 22 veterans dying by their own hand every single day. Deaths to suicide among these veterans were actually higher than combat-related deaths that year in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Despite efforts by the Veteran's Administration and other agencies, suicide deaths among combat veterans continues to be a major problem with approximately one veteran suicide every hour. This rate is twice that of those who never served … [Read more...]
A 2000-Year Journey in Interfaith
I have just returned from my annual vacation in Pennsylvania where my husband and I attend Pennsic War, the world's largest medieval re-enactment event. This year nearly 11,000 of us who are fascinated by the Middle Ages camped together at Cooper's Lake enjoying two weeks of friendship and learning in the hills of Western Pennsylvania. During that time we took classes on medieval arts and skills, fought mock battles, danced, sang the hours away, renewed friendships and made new friends. All of th … [Read more...]
A Call to Activism
On the 8th of May we mark the 69th anniversary of the surrender of Nazi Germany to the Allied Forces. The horror and the tragedy of the rise of the Nazi party and the Nazi ideology in Germany is that so much of what happened might have been preventable if people had been willing to stand up and say "This is wrong!" when it was first noticed that the powers that be were imprisoning, killing, and discriminating against their own citizens. The Holocaust did not happen overnight, it happened in a ser … [Read more...]
Growing the Interfaith Garden
It is April now and here in the South that means that spring is all around us. The redbuds and dogwoods are in bloom and the trees in the woods behind my house are covered in a pale green lace of tiny leaves. As the earth has warmed I have been drawn more and more to get my fingers in the dirt. I've been cleaning out the detritus of fall leaves, pruning the rose bushes, and planting new flowers and herbs for the coming season. It is a fitting reminder that the promise of life renewed has been … [Read more...]
A documentary to you and me, real life for others
This month of April is well-known for recognizing and remembering the Holocaust. The monthly 'Journeys' lecture series that I attend, 1st Sunday of each month (at the stark hour of 8am), showed a documentary that honored one of the victims of the Holocaust. I could go into lots of gritty detail about the significance of this 50 minute film, but that's not what I want to point out here.What is important to share with you dear reader, is the diverse crowd that was in attendance for the showin … [Read more...]

Disney Dream Cruise With Food Network
In this one-hour special, Melissa d'Arabian, Amanda Freitag ("Chopped"), and "The Kitchen's" Katie Lee and Jeff Mauro, along with their families and friends, set sail on the "Disney Dream" cruise ship for three days of sun, fun and food. Going where no cameras have gone before, the hosts investigate the inner workings of the ship's galleys, the very kitchens where the "Dream's" talented chefs prepare food for thousands of happy — and hungry — vacationers a day.
Nick and Hank (David Giuntoli, Russell Hornsby) are called in to investigate the aftermath of a one-night stand that turned deadly when a man found himself part of a bizarre love triangle in the new episode "Double Date." Elsewhere, Capt. Renard (Sasha Roiz) turns to Monroe and Rosalee (Silas Weir Mitchell, Bree Turner) for help with his recurring episodes of phantom bleeding. Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) makes a major decision that could change the course of her relationship with Nick.
Hart of Dixie
When Zoe (Rachel Bilson) makes an important decision, Wade (Wilson Bethel) tries to take care of everything before their baby is born in "Bluebell," what is reported to be the series finale. Guilt-stricken about misleading Lemon (Jaime King), Lavon (Cress Williams) pledges to make things right with her. Frustrated with their current situation, AnnaBeth and George (Kaitlyn Black, Scott Porter) are faced with a big decision. Tim Matheson also stars.

Need recommendation for landscape contractor
We need a retaining wall built and some grading done. Can anyone recommend someone?
Call Barry at Blooming Colors! Highly recommend. You may have to be on a wait list, but he's worth waiting for.
I interviewed a lot of different people to re grade our back yard. We insisted on natural drainage. Everyone wanted to put in area drains. :(
We did not want area drains. Barry was the only one who listened to what we wanted and understood what we were asking for. He didn't try to sell us on something else. His crew re graded, removed (most) of the bermuda, installed St Augustine, and layed out and put in rock edging for the new beds, added good soil to them, and even hauled in and spread horse manure that I found a few miles away from here. We got exactly what we wanted from Barry, and more.
We're having them back out this week to put in a retaining wall & expand a flower bed for us. Hubby and I are very happy with his work, & crew.
A gardening friend recommended him to us. She had used a company I was going to use and talked me out of them. Thank goodness she did!
We love the work Barry did, and the other guy has gone out of business now.
Here is a link that might be useful: Blooming Colors
I second Blooming Colors! They built us a decorative retaining wall in the front of our house (our yard sloped drastically toward the street) and built flowerbeds behind it and even a dry stream bed on one side where our backyard drains around the side of the house to the front sidewalk. They found the 2 nicest moss boulders too. They were quick, the team was hard working, and Barry came out a couple of time to check their work and make sure I was happy. They are a great company to work with.
Its not so much being able to afford a landscaper, its not being able to do the work ourselves. As it was there was no drainage from our back yard. Water would sit and we'd have a swamp out there for weeks at a time.
You eventually reach a point that some things you have to get done but can't physically do it yourself. :(
We still do all the designing, planning and planting ourselves. :) (Except for the huge pine tree we had Barry plant for us, I forgot to mention that originally)
I think we'll give Blooming Colors a call. Two other people came well recommended, but are too busy to even give us a bid. This wouldn't be so bad, if they had been clearer about that when they came out to look at the project. I wouldn't have minded hearing "it will cost about $X, but it will be 3 months before I could get to it" or even "it will be a few months before I can get back to you with a bid" Two months ago, we wanted to get this done early enough for some vegetation to get established before summer. I wish I'd thought to ask here at GW back then!

bringing goats across the border
I'm looking into getting a few dairy goats, and I'm not having much luck finding any around here. It would be a much shorter drive to get some goats from mn or wi rather than s on, but I was wondering what I would need to get them across the border. Are there special health papers or anything we would need?
We travel to other states for shows with our goats and a health certificate is required to cross state lines. They are issued by a veterinarian and are good for 30 days. They are checking for things like scrapies, hoof and mouth, Caseous Lymphadenitis, etc. It is always a good idea to have a vet look them over anyway if you are making a major purchase. There are other diseases like CAE you would want to check for and I would ask for proof (as in a blood test) that the animals don't have it. It is a hard road when you start our with diseased animals in your herd.
Now that I know where you live it helps. Manitoba has several nubian goat breeders.Just google Nubian Goats in Manitoba and you should be able to get an assortment of breeders. This would be a lot closer to you.I used to live in TB and still have family there. Visit often.

You may have noticed things look a little different around here - we've switched to a new platform (XenForo) and have some new forum styles and features. This how-to guide will help you find your way around. If you find anything that looks strange, post it in this thread.

ID please
The blossoms of begonias don't tell much about identification, you need a good photo of the leaves.It looks to me like a hybrid, generally the species do not produce such nice, thick flower clusters.
Thanks will take more photos in the future.
Here is one with leaves if you would know the species.
Jamie, that is an obvious hybrid cane, a lovely plant, someone here will know the name I think.

Most people think that the big advantage of being able to test their Coumadin levels at home would be the convenience of not having to get tested at a clinic every month. But in fact the big advantage is the more information and therefore greater control you would get from weekly testing at home.
Few people are getting those levels tested at home yet. Before my wife died four and one-half years ago we tried in vain to get medical insurance coverage for that home testing. She had had to take Coumadin for atrial fibrillation, which was probably one of the complications that she had from her diabetes.
Medicare started covering home testing for people who had mechanical heart valves in 2001. But it wasn't until 2008, a year after Catherine died, that they started covering that testing for chronic atrial fibrillation and deep vein thrombosis.
If you have Medicare the cost is minimal. Medicare covers 80 percent of the cost, and if you have a secondary supplement, it picks up the rest, $26 per month.
The cost is for renting the testing device and buying the test strips. For the weekly testing you need four test strips per month, but you get two extras to use if you have a problem with them.
