Sales of luxury goods drop as China market dries up
Chinese shoppers are cutting back on designer duds, leather handbags and pricey watches, putting a drag on global sales of luxury goods, which a study forecasts to expand just 2 percent this year.
The analysis released Monday by Bain & Company estimated 2013 luxury sales at EURO217 billion (USD300 billion), up from EURO212 billion (USD288 billion) in 2012. The increase is a fraction of the double-digit growth enjoyed the previous three years.

Hi: 10° Lo:6°
Thursday 05 June 2014 Updated: 06/06 09:32
A COUNCILLOR at the centre of a police investigation over alleged racist and homophobic comments has quit.
Dave Small resigned from the Church Hill Seat on Redditch Borough Council yesterday (Thursday) and intends to stand again as an independent candidate when a by-election is called.
Mr Small was booted out by UKIP just over a week ago for his comments which included branding gay people perverts.
He had been resisting calls to quit from Conservative, Labour and UKIP councillors.
But Mr Small told the Standard he changed his mind after being publicly urged to stand again by council leader Bill Hartnett and despite the revelations about his views was confident of winning again.
"People will stand by their vote and vote for me again," he said.
A protest organised by Coun Joe Baker ahead of Monday's council meeting (June 9) at 6.15pm outside the Town Hall is still going to go-ahead as planned.
"It's to show a united front and that Redditch is not homophobic."
Mr Small was voluntarily interviewed by police last Friday (May 30) after being reported for making alleged homophobic and racist comments online and in a radio interview. He was not arrested and a property in the borough was searched by police.
A file will be submitted to the CPS once all investigations have been completed.

During Episode 4-1 you will find Rachael in the "Crew Quarters" area. She is part of the main objective and cannot be missed. You have to defeat her very quickly, before she gets to the room with the purple glowing vending machine. It's crucial that you have some good weapons, such as the Rifle. You should find the Rifle in Episode 3-2 (it's very hard to miss) and the MP5 can be found in Episode 4-1, in a side room just before getting to Rachael.

How I Met Your Mother Season 8 meets another runaway bride, except this time, the bride character is from another sitcom. Jayma Mays, who played "Coat Check Girl" way back in Season 1, is returning to the CBS series. This happens while her return as OC bride Emma in "Glee 4" is sparking a lot of speculations. But why bring the coat check girl back - is there a mother connection here?

How I Met Your Mother: Future Barney Stinson and Ted Mosby Time Traveling Episode (Image: CBS/HIMYM/Tumblr)
HIMYM welcomes back Jayma Mays
How I Met Your Mother takes a short break after Monday's episode called, "Weekend at Barney's." It is one of the weaker episodes this season, but it's a good one mainly for marking the end of the Ted Mosby - Jeanette madness.
When HIMYM returns on Mar. 18, Glee star Jayma Mays will reprise her role as the coat check girl from the "exclusive club" episode back in October 2005. (Yes, it has been that long.) The gang will be doing some sort of time traveling in this episode, according to teasers. But what is so important about the coat check girl, when Ted has already told his kids she is not the mother?
How I Met Your Mother Time Travel: Guessing the Jayma Mays - Mother Connection
In the "Okay Awesome" episode where Jayma Mays first appeared, Ted and the gang find themselves in a club that Robin recommended. Ted later dances with a hot blonde girl who couldn't hear him through the party music. He then says stuff like, "I'm from outer space!" And then the loud music stops just when Ted was mess-yelling, "I'm wetting my pants!" The hot blonde girl leaves, Ted realizes clubs aren't awesome and he had to get out.
RELATED | How I Met Your Mother Season 9: 5 Legendary Ways Season Could Be 'How I Met Your Father'
Coat check girl later tells Ted that the "fun" things people often talk about aren't usually fun. Marshall senses a connection between the two but future Ted tells the kids the mother wasn't Mays' character. Barney wants Ted to forget all about this night because he dirty danced with his cousin. But Ted concludes here the only way for him to have someone is to spend crazy nights with Barney. What happens when Mays returns?
Could Mays be playing the role of a friend of the mother - someone who could put in a good word for nice guy Ted Mosby? Or is her return a mere tribute to celebrities who have graced the show (i.e. Kyle MacLachlan as The Captain)?

Caroline was great about communicating her plans ahead of time, even as they changed due to inclement weather. I met her briefly when she arrived, and she was very polite and friendly. She stayed in the apartment while I was out of town for the weekend, and she took great care of it, and left it just as she had found it. I would highly recommend her as a guest, and she would be welcome back anytime.

So I am fairly new to brewing (1 kit, and 1 AG brew) but I am extremely motivated and dedicated. I have come up with a few recipes, with just my personal experience of taste and knowledge of reading (and having done 2 brews). I have put together this recipe and was curious as to any thoughts or opinions on actual outcome on this. I am an extreme HOP HEAD, so this may seem a bit left field for some people, but be gentle as this is my first post and my first publicized recipe. Cheers!!
Name: Hoptaneous
Est OG: 1.082
IBUs: 241.2
Grain Bill:
12# Pale Malt 2 Row
1# Crystal 60L
2oz Warrior - 60min
1oz Centennial - 40min
1oz Cascade - 40min
1oz Chinook 15min
1oz Columbus 15min
.5oz Cascade 5min
1oz Simcoe 5min
.5oz Chinook 5min
.5oz Centennial 5min
1oz Simcoe - 14days
1oz Chinook - 5days
1oz Cascade - 5days
Misc. Ingredients
.5tsp Irish Moss 10min
Oak Chips - 7days
2 Packs: California Ale (White Laps #WLP001)
Mash at 152F for 1 Hour
Pre Boil Vol : 7.5Gal
Um...some issues.
1. Too much crystal. I'd ditch the carapils as it kind of defeats the purpose of adding simple sugar to an IIPA.
2. Too much 60 minute hops. You're already surpassing the threshold in which humans can taste bitterness. You're basically just adding more plant mass to the wort which can cause vegetal flavors and will cause some wort loss. The 40 minute hops are kind of pointless too.
3. A 14 day dry hop is about a week too long. I've seen a lot of beers get funky grassy flavors when hopped for that long.
4. I personally don't care for warrior as a late hop. Save it to bitter a different beer.
5. I'd ditch the oak. I've never been a fan of oaked IPAs (I think hop flavor and wood flavors clash)
Well I guess I have different tastes than the previous poster.
I think the oak chips would be nice. The story is that ipa's where aged in oak anyway so I don't think it's crazy. I know the BJCP says its inappropriate but I've had lots of great oaky ipa's.
I also don't think 1 lb of crystal is too much for this beer. But I do feel that the carapils is unnecessary. Your aren't going to have a problem with head retention in this beer and of your doing it for body then the dextrose doesn't make sense.
I do have one serious issue with this recipe though. Please, please please please don't use Simcoe that early in the boil. The stuff is really hard to get ahold of and all it's wonderful flavor is going to be lost in a pre-thirty minute boil. Save it for another beer or later in the boil, in my opinion.
Also, I'm not sure I'd use warrior as a flavor/aroma hop but that's just me. Maybe you know something I don't.
Dry hopping 14 days is on the long side, usually people dry hop 7 days but I've seen 5-14 days suggested. I doubt it will get grassy in 14 days.
Grays on your first recipe, I hope it turns out well.
Thank you for the advice, I have taken a lot of influence on this recipe from my first 2 batches, they were both big IIPAs, one was Pliny The Elder. Both had simcoe in for 90mins and 60mins. And both had 14day dry hops and 5 day dry hops. And I loved them both, Thats the reasoning behind it. I will probably drop the late addition of warrior, and do away with the catapults all together.
I just made this, and it's similar enough that you may want to check it out (not that I'm just pooping on your recipe - I like it, with the changes suggested above):
14 lbs us 2-row
12 oz. Belgian Caramunich (any good 40L crystal malt would be fine though)
16 oz. Honey @ flameout (mine was some good stuff from a local apiary)
1.0 oz. Warrior pellets @ 60 min
1.0 oz. Amarillo whole hops @ 15 min
1.0 oz. Simcoe whole hops @ 15 min
1.0 oz. Amarillo whole hops @ 5 min
1.0 oz. Simcoe whole hops @ 5 min
1.0 oz. Amarillo whole hops @ flameout
1.0 oz. Simcoe whole hops @ flameout
us-05 yeast fermented for 10 days, cool
cold crash
** this is the point I'm at right now, tasted it last night - it's amazing ***
keg-hop with 3.0 oz. Amarillo whole hops & 3.0 oz. Simcoe whole hops - this is where I choose to go nuts on the hops
My OG was supposed to be like 1.080 but I screwed the brew day up and ended up with about 5.5 gallons instead of 5, so I ended up at lie 1.070. FG was 1.012, it's nice and light bodied, with a noticeable but not overpowering bitterness.
and *edit*: obviously you have different hops - I'd use the warrior early on, and perhaps the centennial, and save the cascade, chinook and simcoe for late. that sounds like a very nice combo

A classic black comedy from Stanley Kubrick in high definition. Great film, as you probably know already. The transfer has some grain, which is normal for this film was shot in black and white in 1963. Some may complain that the original multi aspect ratio previously available was not used. I am not complaining, as I think the 16X9 look doesn't lose much info, and it looks and sounds great.
I might add that I live in the States, but got this version as the U.S. version is housed in that damn Digi-book thing that Warner has been using a lot for classic films. Some may like it, but, not me. They get dusty, banged up, and the book has pretty useless info that any fan that's buying this film probably knows already. It's mostly pictures. Notice that after a time, Warner is reissuing most of these in a non Digi-book version. I bought North by Northwest from the U.K. for the same reason.

5.0 out of 5 stars "You can't fight in here! This is the War Room!",
Alex Diaz-Granados "fardreaming writer" (Miami, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dr. Strangelove [1963] [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Dr. Strangelove, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is one of the most biting and hard-hitting commentaries about the U.S.-Soviet arms race, overdependence on technology, the can-do philosophy of the Air Force, and the sheer lunacy of MAD, the apt acronym for the term Mutual Assured Destruction -- which was the Cold War diplo-speak that meant "you nuke our country, we'll nuke yours."
Normally one wouldn't think the possibility of nuclear annihilation would be the wellspring for a comedy, just as most people today wouldn't think the Holocaust is fodder for satire. Yet when Stanley Kubrick set out to do a straightforward dramatic film based on novelist Peter George's "Red Alert," a novel about an "accidental" nuclear attack on the Soviet Union by the United States, the more research and contemplation the director and co-screenwriter did on the subject of nuclear deterrence and all the nitty gritty of nuclear warfare, the more insane the whole theme seemed. So Kubrick -- no doubt aware that a similarly themed film (Fail-Safe) was underway -- gave in to his impulses and switched gears from drama to "dark" comedy.
Kubrick sets the tone right from the main title sequence. As the credits (and you have to see these yourself) roll, we see footage of a B-52 Stratofortress being refueled by a KC-135A aerial tanker. In the background, the very romantic strains of "Try a Little Tenderness" gives this aerial ballet an almost grotesque ironic counterpoint. Love music? In a scene depicting a nuclear bomber being refueled as it heads toward its fail-safe point?
Things get going, though, when Royal Air Force liaison officer Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake (Peter Sellers) gets an unexpected phone call from Burpleson AFB's B-52 wing commander, Gen. Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden), ordering him to impound all privately owned radios and to order the B-52s already on deterrence patrol to leave their fail-safe points and to implement Wing Attack Plan R. Befuddled but obedient, Mandrake complies, setting off Gen. Ripper's plan to launch an unauthorized attack against the Soviet Union.
Dr. Strangelove follows three story threads, each getting loopier as the world hurtles closer and closer to annihilation:
First, there is hapless Group Capt. Mandrake's reaction to his discovery of Ripper's real plot and the loony logic of the general's motives. The Soviet Union hasn't started a war, Ripper says, but has been messing around with Americans' natural fluids since 1946 -- the same year fluoridation began to be implemented in earnest.
Second, there is President Merkin Muffley's (Peter Sellers again) stunned reaction when he is summoned to the Pentagon's War Room along with the Soviet ambassador, where his increasingly pathetic attempts to defuse the crisis run into various stumbling blocks, including the hawkish demeanor of Air Force General Buck Turgidson (George C. Scott), the dissembling of the ambassador (Peter Bul), the vagaries of long distance telephone service, the bizarre machinations of one of his senior advisors, Dr. Strangelove (Peter Sellers yet again), and the inebriated state of the Soviet Premier.
Third, there is the sheer pluck of Air Force Maj. T.J. Kong( Slim Pickens), who, upon getting the orders to implement Wing Attack Plan R, doffs his flight helmet and puts on a cowboy hat, peppering his orders and pep talk with slangy cowboy terms. He, too, is a bit loony, yet he and his crew (which includes James Earl Jones in his first film appearance) overcome every obstacle thrown at them on their way to their target.
Kubrick peppers his film with sight gags (nuclear bombs with Dear John and Hi There! stenciled on their warheads, a buffet counter in the war room) and punny names (Keenan Wynn's paratrooper character, one who fears retribution from the Coca-Cola company more than the prospect of an unstopped nuclear war, is named Bat Guano), and his use of music in an ironic counterpoint to the visuals ("Try a Little Tenderness" in the aforementioned title sequence, a hummed rendition of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" over Major Kong's toe-to-toe with the Rooskies speech, and Vera Lynn's famous rendition of "We'll Meet Again" as the crisis comes to a stark close) puts an end to the misconception of the director as being cold and unfunny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Relevant as ever, sharp enough to cut your throat...,
Andy Millward (Tiptree, Essex, UK) - See all my reviews
You might think that this powerful, indeed blood-chilling satirical vision of the insanity of nuclear brinkmanship would be redundant in the post-cold war era. On the contrary, the world of Bush and Rumsfeld fits very comfortably in the fabric of Kubrik's realpolitik. Bush might lack President Muffley's diffidence in the face of doomsday scenario's, but perhaps the gung-ho Texan bomber pilot Major Kong was cast with a foresight none of us could have predicted, 40 years ahead of his time!
This is a masterpiece, played without a false note by a truly memorable cast of characters portrayed straight(ish) by one of the finest acting ensembles I can recall seeing in any movie. Sellers is great, of course, but so are George C Scott, Keenan Wynn, Slim Pickens, and (my own personal favourite) Sterling Hayden as Gen Ripper, among other gems.
The fact that substantial portions of screenplay are improvised and changes to the plot (including Slim Pickens's bareback ride on the WMD targeted on a Russian ICBM base) continued right up to the last minute is remarkable since the whole film is executed with frightening precision. Every speech and considered analysis of the realities of MAD strategy like a fresh move on the chessboard planned five moves in advance, yet the very random and unpredictable behaviour of the human being (in this case Gen Jack D Ripper) and machine throw the whole system into total chaos... and that is as true today as it has ever been!
As for the Sellers factor, this is probably not his greatest performance(s) - that privelege must surely go to Being There - but he carries off three enthralling characters with a totally instinctive and bravura acting that you could not doubt for a moment his genius.
But the star of the show must surely be Stanley Kubrick for keeping on the rails what might in lesser hands have gone completely over the top. Whatever madness appears on screen, Kubrik ensures it is never less that believable. And with that power, the film is a not a political comedy but a political weapon.
One last thought: Kubrik packs into 90 minutes what many directors would have bloated out into 3 hours. Would that every film could be so razor sharp that not so much as one word is out of place! Rest in peace, Stanley.

5.0 out of 5 stars Peace is our profession,
bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
For those that have not seen the movie, which is highly unlikely, this is an improbable situation where a base commander is in the position to order an attack on Russia. Originally supposed to be a serious movie based on the book "Red Alert" by Peter Bryant (really Peter George). Now converted into a black comedy with many great stars including Peter Sellers as there of the characters. (It would have been four characters if he has not broken a leg).
This DVD (special edition) is worth purchasing even if you have earlier versions. Many DVD's contain what they call extras (I call them Goodies). In a lot of cases they are just rehashed versions of the movie or just rattling. In this case the extra "Inside the Making of DR.STRAINGLOVE" rivals the movie itself for entertainment and useful content. You find out how the movie evolved from a serious piece to a serious black comedy. You find that the movie is an aggregate of many talented people. It would take too log to describe the details that motivated the movie so you will just have to purchase this edition.
There is also a trailer for "Fail Safe" a rival movie...
One part I found interesting was when the Air crew was examining their survival kit. Slim Pickens says a person can have a good time in Dallas with the kit. This is over dubbed by Las Vegas as a result of JFK just being shot in Dallas.

5.0 out of 5 stars a classic revisted,
W. Pollock "Bill Pollock" (Auckland NZ) - See all my reviews
Wonderful Blu-ray rendition of the classic Stanley Kubrick and Peter sellers movie in Hi definition. The works of Stanley Kubrick brought back to life. With Sellers playing many rolls in this black comedy, which prompted the Americans to rethink how safe and secure they were. The quality is good and the extras a worthy addition. Sellers as the British Representative on the American Base, to the Nazi hangover of Dr Strangelove as part of the presidents close circle of decision makers and consultants - Sellers at his best. The riding of the bomb into the Old USSR target is a classic scene and the high definition print shows the overlay as does many of the aerial shots. This film was shot many years ago before digital composites could be seamlessly added. The film is a masterpiece that goes beyond its years and continually points out the pointlessness and stupidity that once was a MAD COLD WAR world. Wonderful movie and one highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars We all know the film's great, but what about the blu-ray?,
Remus (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
You'll have to read the product description for all the extras and subtitled languages - what interests me is the film itself.
To say the film is perfect would be stretching the truth a little. The trouble (as viewers of the various DVD editions will know) is that Dr Strangelove was not filmed in a consistent aspect ratio, so every subsequent editor has to decide how to combine the full frame shots (1.33:1) with the matte in camera shots (1.66:1). To me it seems obvious that the open matte scenes were meant to be cropped to match the rest, but obvious is not a term usually associated with Kubrick. Nevertheless the makers of the blu-ray have done just this, presenting the entire film in 1.66:1. This results in thin vertical black lines either side of the picture when viewed on a 16:9 television, or an equal-sized border when viewed on a 1920x1200 monitor.
In my opinion this is a better solution than the mixed format of all the DVD releases. Besides which, this is how the film was originally seen in cinemas - at least in Europe; in the US it was apparently projected in 1.85:1. However, various sources (mostly tied with the mixed-aspect ratio LaserDisc and DVD releases) assert that Kubrick actually intended the film be projected in mixed format.
Then there is the matter of picture quality. Kubrick sometimes seemed to go out of his way to find grainy film stock, but in this case it was probably justified as the entire film is shot at night (even on the bomber flying over Russia). What this means, however, is that the blu-ray is not the dramatic improvement over DVD that is seen in other films. But I think this is as good as it gets. The detail, brightness and contrast are superb and there are no scratches or other defects that I can see, and I don't think the film grain - even in the external airbase shots where it is excessive - should be edited out.
All in all I suppose that DVD owners who prefer the mixed 1.33:1 and 1.66:1 aspect ratio format will probably not bother buying this blu-ray, and the same issue might persuade some new buyers to choose the DVD, but for everyone else the blu-ray is easily the disc of choice.
Finally, although I said I wouldn't mention the extras I am mildly disappointed that the excellent original film trailer is not included. I don't think this is on any of the DVD releases either and I recommend looking it up on YouTube.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!,
Mr. G. Robinson "garyrobinson15" (North Wales) - See all my reviews
Kubrick's follow up to Lolita is perhaps the greatest comedy ever made.
Originally to be a serious drama it soon dawned on Kubrick that a seriously black comedy could be honed out of such dark material and that the notion of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) was exactly that and it could not be taken seriously by anyone with an ounce of intelligence. So the basis of Dr Strangelove was decided and what a film was eventually made.
Commander Ripper, suffering from a particular male problem in the bedroom if you understand me, sends his entire fleet of B52 bombers to bomb Russia who he blames for his "problem". When the authorities become aware of this they realise they have only an hour or two to recall the planes or there will be worldwide thermonuclear war. Not the obvious basis for a comedy you might think.
The principal action essentially takes place in three locations. The Bomber Command Base, on-board one of the bombers, and in the United Stes Presidents War Room. Sterling Hayden plays Commander Ripper with so much conviction that you almost feel sympathy for the man. Slim Pikins plays the Bomber pilot apparently defending his county and the ever wonderful Peter Sellers plays The US President, a British exchange officer on the B52 base and the mysterious and chilling wheelchair bound Dr Strangelove of the title.
Shot in glorious black and white with a documentary feel, Strangelove feels almost too real in its depiction of mad generals, ineffective politicians and how common sense can become lost in the fog of war. Serious and frightening points are driven home so hard by the use of comedy that even the military have come to regard Strangelove as a warning for the future.
Much of the dialogue is just so funny and memorable that many lines have passed almost into the language. "Gentlemen you can't fight in here this is the War Room" being just one of them. With Sellers, Slim Pikins and George C Scott all putting fabulous performances Strangelove is a thing of beauty and should be on the shelf of any respecting film buff. Not since has such a dark and deeply worrying story been told in such an entertaining way.
Dr Strangelove or How I learned to stop worrying and love the Bomb is tremendous entertainment with all the frailties and insecurities of the human condition at its heart. All wrapped up in 91 minutes. There isn't a minute or a line a dialogue wasted.
Kubrick's most human film.

5.0 out of 5 stars The famous custard pie scene,
I cannot add anything that hasn't already been said by other reviewers. This remains one of the funniest films ever made. Just a couple of things not many people know. Stanley actually wanted Peter Sellers to do 4 parts. In addition to Captain Mandrake, The President and Dr. Strangelove, Sellers was also expected to do the Slim Pickens part of the pilot who drops the bomb. Peter persuaded Stanley that he wasn't up to doing 4 parts and not long after the film was made, Peter Sellers had one of his many heart attacks. Stanley also had a different ending for the film: A major custard pie scene in the war room. You might notice during some of the scenes in the war room that there was a table set with food, (never actually used). But it was there for a reason and that was to set the scene for the famous custard pie scene at the end. For some reason known only to Stanley Kubrick the scene was never shown. However it was shot and must remain hidden in the vaults of some American movie company. How wonderful for all movie scholars if we can ever see this scene.

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny, intelligent and doesn't patronise the audience,
D. J. Andrews "David Andrews" (Keele, UK) - See all my reviews
Dr Strangelove: or How I Stopped Worrying and Learnt to Love the Bomb is the 1964 masterpiece by Stanley Kubrick with Peter Sellers playing about 50 (ok 3) different roles. The film satarises the cold war and centers around a renagade general who decides that its about time america nuked the soviet union.
It may seem strange to review a film so long after its release date but I wanted to see whether Dr Strangelove had dated. In a post Airplane! World we see that although it still works as a farce we are used to laughing our socks off more in a comedy film. However that said it is still more intellectually prodding than most modern comedies.
If we take the decision that a comedy must make you laugh at least twice for every half an hour of film then Dr Strangelove is a brilliant piece of satire but normally nowadays a smart joke in comedies is rare and if it was released now surely we would end up with "dude! Wheres my atomic bomb"
I will say that strangelove has dated but amazing comedy performances by Sellers and George Scott as the government personell. James Earl Jones (Darth Vader, Mufasa) also shows up.
In conclusion, an incredibly funny films with many good lines and a parody of the cold war hilariously. The problem comes is when one realises that as time goes on and ignorance of the past increases we will end up with a niche period piece for historians.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here. This is the War Room!",
This and numerous other satirical tongue-in-cheek quotes will be found throught this fine film. It is as funny as it is frightening and outlines a world where the threat of 'the bomb' is right on everyone's doorstep. In it you'll be pleased to find an all-star cast including Peter Sellers, (who does a fantastic job playing 3 characters all by himself) George C. Scott, and a young James Earl Jones. That's right, folks...the Bell Atlantic Man himself in charge of a nuclear payload aboard his very own B-17. Sellers plays the President, Group Captain Lyonel Mandrake, and the mysterious and chilling Dr. Strangelove. If you know anything about the Cold War era, give this one a try...you'll love it!

Siberian irises
bellarosa(z5/IL)June 10, 2014
When is a good time to divide siberian irises? Please let me know. Thanks!
In fall.
The "rule of thumb" for division of perennials is early blooming ones divide in fall - late blooming ones divide in spring. Less chance of inhibiting the bloom cycle with this method. Siberian iris do not have a root system that is sensitive to the timing of division (like beardeds or PC iris do) so I've found it best to follow this method.
Your climate may be a factor, though, if fall planting not advocated in your area.

U.S. Merchant Marine Academy Welcomes Incoming Class of 2018
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Story Number: NNS140702-18Release Date: 7/2/2014 3:29:00 PM
By Lt. Cmdr. Amber Lewis, Defense Media Activity
KINGS POINT, N.Y. (NNS) -- The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point (USMMA) welcomed its incoming Class of 2018, July 2.
The class of 2018 consists of 252 students who will be known as plebe candidates for the next 20 days. The plebe candidates represent 46 states and four foreign countries, including Malaysia, Romania, Panama and the Republic of Korea, are congressionally-nominated future midshipmen and began a rigorous, 20-day regimen of academic, military, and physical training known as indoctrination. The training is intended to transform them from recent high school graduates into future leaders and licensed maritime officers.
During their first day of indoctrination, also known as INDOC, plebe candidates were issued uniforms, received their first regulation haircut and formed on Barney Square as companies for the first time.
During formation, they were greeted by the Acting Maritime Administrator, Paul N. Jaenichen. Jaenichen said, "Kings Point is one of our nation's most selective schools, and you have proven yourselves to be among the best of the best of this year's applicants. It is a strenuous regimen of academic, military and physical training that will change you - inside and out."
All USMMA midshipmen are in the Naval Reserve and sign a service obligation to the Navy. USMMA is the largest commissioning source for the U.S. Navy after the Naval Academy in terms of number of commissions awarded annually.
USMMA is one of the five federal service academies. The school is funded by the Department of Transportation and has a mission to educate and graduate licensed Merchant Marine officers. Graduates from USMMA receive a Bachelor of Science Degree, an unlimited merchant marine officer license from the United States Coast Guard and an officer's commission in one of the branches of the military.
In return for the federal scholarship, each graduate is required to choose to either serve as a Merchant Marine Officer while concurrently serving in any branch of the U.S. military in the reserves for five years, or serve five years of active duty in any branch of the U.S. military.
USMMA graduates ensure a steady stream of merchant marine officers who support the nation's economic and security requirements in times of peace and war.

It's transplanting time again : )
The mild weather of late has pushed a lot of us outside this past week, especially here in the MidAtlantic.
Attendant with that, there are dear 'friends' here which have to be moved to make way in order to allow 'nearbys' to fully grow in their projected spaces.
Skimmed off a width and a half of some of the existing ornamental beds with the rototoiller today. Tranplanting to follow, perhaps Monday. February is simply the best time to do this and it brings such peace and joy to this writer to be able to do so (garden) at this time of the year.
To be moved (also with great joy : )): Rh. My Mary, Az. 'Salmon's Elf' which for some reason has not flowered the past 4-5 years (buried in ostrich fern), a white lep..'April Dawn'?, and a beautiful prostate evgrn. az. that I purchased from Betty Cummins some years ago, Az. 'Hillier's Pink' which I believe is from England.
This after the clean up of that 'blow' that passed through earlier in the week and hopefully did the last of Mother Nature's 'pruning' for the year.
Cheers everyone,
The weather has mild here too birdsong72 but, unfortunately, it seems to be the time for colds and/or allergies for others all around me. Knock on wood. Knock on wood. Makes me want to stay indoors for a few more weeks so I do not catch something since allergies are my usual problem... sigh.... This time, I am the one that is ok...
I have a Christmas Cheer Azalea that is now starting to bloom outside in its back plastic container; needs to be planted... needs to be planted.... needs to be planted... Will I remember? Hee hee hee

And the king has decreed that his royal abs of steel will be on display for all to admire... LOL!
I think the crown really looks appropriate on him ... always wanted to think that he'd eventually succeed his father as ruler of Eternia. At least, that's the opinion of this old sorcerer ....

VA Fights Against Veteran Identity Theft
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
August 5, 2014
VA launches new identity theft website and toll-free help line
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) today announced that it has launched a new campaign to educate Veterans about identity theft prevention. The new campaign, titled More Than a Number, references the personally identifiable information that VA encourages Veterans to protect.
"We recognize that for Veterans, as for all Americans in the digital age, identity theft is a growing concern," said Steph Warren, VA's Chief Information Officer. "Our goal is to help educate and protect those who have protected this great country."
VA's Office of Information and Technology recently announced the launch of a new website containing identity theft resources for Veterans and their beneficiaries. The website can be found at www.va.gov/identitytheft and features educational information, interactive multimedia and links to other online identity theft prevention resources. The campaign also includes a toll-free help line offering support for Veterans, their beneficiaries and VA employees who have questions and concerns about identity theft. The toll-free number is 1-855-578-5492, and it will be open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. - 8 p.m., EST.
In defending against identity theft, VA understands that awareness is critical. With More Than a Number, VA aims to educate Veterans on the risk of identity theft and how to avoid becoming a victim.
"Small changes can have big consequences," Warren added. "Little things like shredding banking statements before throwing them away or using strong and unique passwords for all of your accounts can make a significant difference in protecting your identity from thieves who may try to use your personal information."
VA takes seriously its obligation to properly safeguard any personal information within its possession and has in place a strong multi-layered defense to combat evolving cyber security threats. VA is committed to protecting Veteran information, continuing its efforts to strengthen information security and putting in place the technology and processes to ensure that Veteran data at VA is secure.
In the event of a loss of VA data, VA has safeguards in place to protect against identity fraud. Acting out of an abundance of caution, VA's standard practice is to provide free credit protection service enrollment, monitoring services and reports, fraudulent charge alerts, and fraud resolution and identity theft insurance to individuals affected by a VA data breach with a reasonable risk for the potential misuse of any sensitive personal information.
For additional information on identity theft, visit www.va.gov/identitytheft or contact the VA Identity Safety Service at email@example.com.

He essentially put down the same run in the second round – including creative rails and a bunch of dubs – and was given a score of 91.33, almost 20 points higher than his first run.

Hi I'm Andrew, I consider myself a pretty laid back person who likes to have fun! I also consider myself a very caring and kind hearted person. I have a great sense of humor, but I can be serious when needed. I can make the best of any situation and have fun doing anything from staying inside talking, enjoying a movie/tv. I love to be outside too(Biking, Snowboarding, Swimming, wakeboarding, etc.) I love animals. I also really enjoy traveling when I can. I'm not currently in school anymore due to transfering and money issues with that new school, however I do want to go back asap. I also love music, I own a drum kit and a guitar. I also sing frequently...when no one is around, but occasionally when there are people, depends on the song! I'll try to get some better pics of myself up too.
