Long before The Dirty Projectors covered Black Flag, local musician Dan Doggett found another creative way to rethink classic punk rock. While hanging out with his college buddies in 2006, he thought it'd be funny to sing the lyrics to Minor Threat's "Straight Edge" with a goofy southern accent. His friends loved it, and suggested he could perform under the moniker Minor Twang. It was a joke at first, but Dan decided to pursue the idea further. "I recorded all the songs in my parents basement on an old 4-track I had lying around," says Doggett. "I originally just made a few CD-R copies of it to give to some friends." The project got more popular when those recordings made their way to MySpace.
Minor Twang may have been recorded in a basement, but close your eyes and it sounds like a forgotten Hank Williams tune. Doggett's voice is strangely haunting on his "Straight Edge" cover, as if the decision to abandon drugs and alcohol is an action weighted with melancholy, not buoyed by defiance. In order to better capture the sound, Doggett used different chords than the original to better approximate the sound of a classic country tune. The cover of "Minor Threat" bounces along pleasantly, bearing little resemblance to Minor Threat's punk-rock thrashing. So when the CD made its way into the hands of Ian Mackaye, the new melody was one of the first things he noticed. "I gave a copy of [Minor Twang] to Ian at a Fort Reno show. He said he enjoyed it, but was interested to hear what it would have sounded like if I kept the original chords in place. He also told me he made a copy of it for [Minor Threat drummer] Jeff Nelson."
Doggett's project never really expanded. He played a couple of small shows, and the recordings all but disappeared when MySpace faded into irrelevance. But thanks to the effort of YouTube user "artichokeification" who uploaded the covers last October, Minor Twang will always have a place on the Internet. Only one of the four tracks has more than one hundred views, but even if Minor Twang somehow manages to go viral, don't expect Doggett to pick up his harmonica. Now his primary focus is Monument, a band influenced by '90s emo music, where he plays bass and sings. He's nonetheless proud of Minor Twang and the strange footnote it's left on the D.C. music scene. "I think it's a testament to the originality and solid songwriting of so many bands from the area," he says.

Maria Menounos may just have a hit reality show under her belt….actually, make that Maria Menounos and her family. In the newest reality show from Oxygen, Chasing Maria Menounos, the soon-to-be-former host of Extra — more on that in a moment — is charming and relatable as she maneuvers her way through a busy career while living with her long-term boyfriend and Greek parents, Costas and Litsa, who would really like her to get married and start popping out babies.
I am surprised it took this long for the reality world to take advantage of the photogenic looks and friendly personality of Maria Menounos, who besides being a television reporter is also a best-selling author, actress and sometime professional wrestler. The premise of the show is simple: Her busy career — see above — is getting in the way of her parents wishes for grandchildren.

Need this pattern for Hat for Cancer Patients
BarbaraNY316September 10, 2007
Looking for hat pattern made from 1 inch gingham check material. You use the corners of the check to smock that makes the sides of the hat and then you fold up a section that makes the brim. Elastic is sewn in to make it fit the head. It is cute and comfortable and was made for cancer patients who had lost their hair.
Would like to give this to a new friend who gave me a nylon net scrubbie to make and will work on that as soon as I get the sample.

The Space
Situated in an alcove near the tip of the prestigious Northridge peninsula of Playa Flamingo where the Flamingo Bay is your front yard and the WHITE SANDY BEACH of Flamingo is your play ground, we welcome you to our hide-a-way in paradise. Our home which is named CASA DE SERENIDAD is aptly named for the tranquility and serenity one feels when here.
To enhance your vacation with us, there is a decadent small wading pool with 2 hammocks positioned over the pool where you can be partially submerged and can relax, and enjoy the gorgeous scenery. If you are a fitness buff, we have a fully equipped gymnasium including a wet sauna and dry sauna for your use. We also have a small infinity pool with lounging chairs next to the rancho/BBQ. You won't need to bring your beach towels with you because we offer towels for your use during your stay with us. Laundry facilities are available with soap provided, too!
Snorkeling during high tide is an favored option while you are already there. To go exploring, we offer the use of a 2 person sit on top ocean kayak for FREE!
Playa Flamingo is 1 km from our property so we are in walking distance to the beach. There are great restaurants in town at the LA PLAZA Commercial Center and on the way down the hill towards town. Each of the local hotels have restaurants as other options s well.
We have a service manual in our apartment which offer your information about the area and recommendations of restaurants, activities and places to visit while you are here. We will share more in detail about house rules!
My boyfriend and I stayed at Casita Mango for two nights during our week vacation in Costa Rica! It was the perfect way to start our trip. The view of the beach from the villa is indescribable...it really is incredible! Playa Flamingo is a quiet little town with a great beach and some great restaurants. Make sure you check out Coco Loco, which is just a short walk from the villa and is a great place right on the beach! Babe and her Husband Don were the best hosts! They helped plan transportation, gave us great recommendations for restaurants, showed us where to get groceries, baked us some top notch chocolate chip cookies, and even arranged for us to spend the afternoon at a private beach across the street!
Overall our time here was wonderful! It was quite and relaxing, a perfect romantic getaway!
Thanks for everything Babe & Don! Hopefully our paths cross again soon.
Babe made us feel welcome throughout our visit. She was always there to answer our questions and assist us whenever needed. We loved the hammocks/wading pool area with shaded roof. The views of the bay were fantastic! Enjoyed seeing the iguanas eating the papaya on the tree, as well as seeing various birds. There was even a howler monkey cruising the neighborhood. We didn't have a car, and yes it was quite a hike up to Casita Mango, but found the going rate for a taxi is 1000 colones from Playa Flamingo.
A great restaurant to eat at is Coco Locos on the beach. The drinks and foods were fantastic. Loved our stay at Casita Mango!
Babe was an amazing host. The place is a one of kind mansion on a cliff where you have the ocean sounds right outside the window which makes it very calm and a perfect place to relax. Very close to the little village Flamingo where there are som nice restaurants. We defenetely recommend this!
Babe was excellent in communicating on what to expect and how to get to her place. It is an absolutely beautiful setting. The privacy and beautiful views of the pacific ocean were amazing. The shaded patios, hammock pool etc were just great. I enjoyed watching the birds, howler monkeys and ocean life from the decks.
Babe and don were fantastic! The apartment was kept clean and the grounds were gorgeous! Babe and son were very very helpful and sweet. We had a blast and wish we didn't have to leave!
My girlfriend and I really loved our stay at Casita Mango. The entire villa is amazing, with tons of amenities, and incredible views of the ocean and stars at night . We especially loved the infinity pool, hammocks, and ping pong table. They had beach equipment including chairs and snorkel gear, which we were able to borrow for the day. The bed was comfy and air conditioning was amazing in the 90 degree weather. We had a car, so it was really easy to explore other beaches in the area including Tamarindo, Playa Conchal, and Playa Danta. We loved our stay here and cannot wait to come back!
The Casita Mango was great! We stayed 1/9-1/12 and everything was what we expected. The grounds were breathtaking with great views, and an amazing pool. Our favorite spot was the hammocks above the little pool overlooking the ocean. Babe was a great host and even brought us cookies the night before our early flight.
This host has 22 reviews for other properties.View Other Reviews
My husband and I have been living in Playa Flamingo now for 16 years and love the tranquil beauty of our area. Our home is located overlooking the ocean so the sounds of the ocean are constant and the breezes keep the air fresh. With unobstructed views, I enjoy the vastness of our vista and the peace that comes from being out in the open air. When you come to visit, you will be understand what it means to experience our little part of paradise.

Sports fans are all too familiar with clutch moments or plays. Season in and season out, their collective joy or despair hangs in the balance as each potentially clutch catch, shot, kick or drive comes and goes.
Sports fans are all too familiar with clutch moments or plays. Season in and season out, their collective joy or despair hangs in the balance as each potentially clutch catch, shot, kick or drive comes and goes.
"Being clutch in sports is very important and we thought that would be relevant with our fans," says Adriana Rizzo, senior director of consumer marketing at ESPN. The broadcast sports giant is leveraging that theme in a new, ongoing series of animated spots to promote WatchESPN, a mobile app originally launched in April 2011.
"The Clutch Way to Watch" campaign features two animated super fans, Vic and Steve, talking about how they watch the biggest moments in sports at home, away or in the office. "Most fans will relate to them either because they are them or they know someone like them," adds Rizzo. "They are true sports fans and you will seem them throughout the year talking about different sports."
When ESPN approached 72andSunny to develop a new campaign ready to launch before the college basketball season approaches its defining moments of the year, it wanted something different, informative and relatable. "We were looking for a fresh and own-able approach to the product and service. It is a market that can be a bit confusing to fans and viewers, particularly because there are a lot of versions of TV Everywhere," Rizzo says.
The teams began collaborating in November on a tight deadline, which called for the first two spots of the campaign to debut on ESPN networks last Monday, running through March 17.
ESPN wanted a flexible concept that allows it to introduce new story lines in short- and long-form content based on strategic needs in the marketplace, adds Rizzo. "We always go out in market and time it to specific moments in sports."
ESPN plans to feature more clutch moments for fans of football, motor sports, tennis, X Games and more throughout the year. The campaign will also carry into ESPN's digital platforms, social media outlets and mobile, but plans for the latter channels haven't solidified yet.
"We're still in the early stages of that. Personally I think it has a tremendous amount of power in the social space," Rizzo says, adding that ESPN is also designing a feature that will allow sports fans the opportunity to contribute and share their favorite clutch moments in sports via Facebook and Twitter.

Eating and drinking while pregnant - are we too paranoid?
Started by AmityD , Feb 08 2010 02:54 PM

Posted 23 February 2010 - 02:11 PM
Wow, I'm amazed at how many women on here are absolutely PARANOID about the effects certain foods and drinks may have on their unborn child. Having said that, I am yet to conceive so perhaps my views will change once I'm pregnant.
I would like to think that I will be sensible, without going totally OTT. If food is fresh I will eat it - whether that be sushi, soft cheeses, ham, chicken or takeaway food. And during later stages in pregnancy I'm sure I will enjoy a glass of wine here and there.
A friend of mine who has recently had her first baby spent the majority of her pregnancy in London and made a comment about how less judgemental people are over there about pregnant women having a wine now and then. Being so close to Europe where it is the norm, it's not seen as anything out of the ordinary. Funny how women all over Europe continue to drink wine throughout their pregnancy and it's not considered dangerous. Same with women in Japan eating Sushi... if all the women on this blog are correct, I'm amazed that Japan's population has managed to increase at all. Everyone on here makes it sound like sushi will be the death of your unborn child for sure!
Having said all of this, if I had had multiple miscarriages in the past then I'm sure my attitudes would change dramatically and I wouldn't have such a relaxed attitude, so to these women, if that's the reason for you being overly careful then fair enough.
Other people just enjoy the drama I think.

QUOTE (Firstbub @ 21/02/2010, 01:39 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
If your baby was born and you were holding it in your arms and someone came up and offered you some sushi but said 'there's a very small chance your baby might die if you eat this' would you eat it? And if not then why should that answer be any different when the baby is in your womb?
Hmmmm, I hadn't thought of it like that. Maybe that's what it does feel like when you are pregnant thus choosing to avoid certain foods is an easier decision to make.
Posted 24 February 2010 - 04:39 PM
I used to think that women were crazy for giving up their favourite foods and alcohol while pregnant, I am sure I had even rolled my eyes on occasion with the hype around it.
Now I am pregnant there is no way I am taking chances. Although I might not agree with all of Mightymummys sentiments I agree totally with her general opinion on not indulging.
Seriously, it's 40 weeks of not drinking or eating a handful of different types of food. You're not missing out on any nutrients that you can't get elsewhere. As for the car argument - I have to travel to go to work to earn the money to pay the bills that will allow the baby to have somewhere to live and a decent quality of life, which I consider totally different to giving up stuff that I simply DON'T NEED and isn't going to benefit the tiny helpless life that depends on me.

It's interesting to note that sushi is actually a delicacy in Japan. My sister lived over there for a while with a number of different families and ate less sushi there than she does here at home.
Natalie, I think you will find you may feel a little differently about it when pregnant
Posted 26 February 2010 - 03:29 PM
After a number of miscarriages I'm now happily 'knocked up' with twins so I'm being super-cautious with what I eat and drink.
In saying that, I'll occasionally have a glass of cheer to celebrate (I've had about 5 glasses in 5 months), have one cup of coffee each morning, will eat ricotta if it's cooked and as hot as molten lava, I haven't really touched left-overs at all, and all the delicious things I love - pate, soft cheese, soft serve, sushi, salami, bean sprouts, raw parsley - I'll stuff myself with when I've a babe or two in arms. It's a small price to pay for the joy I experience each time I feel a good kick in the ribs. (Clearly the kicking is a new thing for me. I'm sure I won't be quite so whimsical when I'm full term )
I'm using the following link to help me make smart food decisions:
I hope this site helps you by explaining what's GOOD, BAD and in between.

I haven't read all the replys, but I used to be one of these people who said 'it's too over hyped'....although I
tried to eat right and never drunk anything nor did I smoke etc. Then I got pregnant with my second son. He was born full term at only 4lbs12oz...he was skin and bones. He was food and oxygen staved for who knows how long, but if I hadn't got to the hospital after I realised something was wrong (he wasn't moving) he would have died.
Apparently I had an infection in between 25-35 weeks...possibly from something I ate???
He is now severely disabled. Cerebral Palsy, severe epilepsy, Severely delayed, vision impaired..the list goes on.
I think it's worth making sure you eat and drink only healthy food...I mean it's 9 months...that's it - for the sake of both your family and babies quality of life, why risk it????????????????? It annoys me so much when I see mothers smoking and of course drinking - I don't even care if it's 'one' drink. No one wants their child to go through as much as my child has gone through....it's worth taking care of that little bundle of joy - self sacrifice is just part of motherhood!!!!

In my late teens, I had a friend who had a 10 year old brother with severe physical and intellectual disability. His disability was a direct result of his mother contracting Listeria while she was pregnant. My friend often spoke of his mother's guilt and his family's struggle through everyday life. My friend's brother and also his mother have since died.
When my niece was born they found Listeria in her umbilical cord. She is 8 and we now know that she is fine.
Needless to say, through my two children's pregnancy's I followed the rules.

His disability was a direct result of his mother contracting Listeria while she was pregnant.
There is no evidence that listeriosis in the mother causes either physical or intellectual disability in newborns.

My sister has a friend whose baby died shortly after birth last year, as a result of listeria. So yeah, if I wasn't paranoid before that, I would have been after.
But now I've given birth, it's bring on the soft cheese and cold chicken, please!!

It is far better to generally follow the cautions and guidlines for the limited time of the pregnancy, and use common sense regarding when and to what extent these are adhered to. Plus if anything does not go perfectly you can at least not feel recriminations about something you did imperfectly regarding things consumed.
Alcohol can be a risk , particularily in higher amounts or even if lesser quantaties but concentrated forms consumed quickly . This would apply through out the pregnancy and no one should pressume that those imbibing like I mentioned had completely unharmed babies as subttle neurological impairments are not obvious. In the first trimester particularily it isn't worth having even small quantaties being the riskiest most sensitive stage, even if contemplating a termination in case it's not gone through with for a range of reasons. In later pregnancy a small sipped glass isn't likely to be too harmful if having food with it on the odd occasion. Plus you'd be surprised at the bits of alcohol that can occur in some sweets, fruits, juices as well as continental types of sauces and meat dishes.
One doesn't need to feel that deprived in avoiding the listeria risk list of foods.
Freshly caught lobsters, yabbies & fish cooked (fully) promptly as killed and eaten pronto are safe. As are most tinned versions.
Freshly made coleslaws and salads from fresh well washed vegetables & using fresh commercial packaged dressing eaten promptly ( aside from an immediate short refrigeration time to have it cooler if preffered) is safe.
A hard cheese like parmesan from conventional brands is safe enough.
Cooked at home , cooked thoroughly silverside is too.
Generally it is deli style, buffets, parties and BBQ's plus other peoples places that might contain the risks.
The odds of getting listeria are generally low, but it can happen and can impact more on the pregnant than others. So why chance it if you can avoid it?
Though if you know of others or yourself imbibed such foods in ignorant bliss don't make a fuss over it, remaining relaxed is also important.
Sure people in the past ate , drank and were merry in their pregnancies seeming to often still have healthy babies , but likewise where their were compromised outcomes from this no one knew what caused these, hence a mild distortion of how the benefits derived via cautious consumption.
It's like wearing a seat belt, most car trips for many years could have been done without them , but we wear them for the couple of times they may be needed ( excluding the reasons of legislation & fines)

Oh and another thing I don't like about the histeria is the competition to be the perfect pregnant person it creates between women.

I went to my ob/gyn today for an 8 week scan (my first scan). I asked about seafood because I am going to Noosa this week and I don't want to miss out on some fresh seafood if I can help it. He told me seafood is fine - even raw seafood such as oysters. He's a professor so I presume (at least one would hope) he knows what he's talking about. He did say stay clear of the soft cheeses however, and cold meats like salami. I'm just completely confused by all the advice on the net etc, it does seem to go over the top and whenever you ask someone, they all have a different opinion or answer. If you ask me all that Macca's, cakes and other junk food probably does the baby much more harm than eating these things in moderation. But then again, I don't really know do I!

Oh how ridiculous! Much better to have the kid OD on stress hormones than a bit of chicken. I can only hope the kid doesn't suffer from the same anxiety disorder.
Just stop smoking and cut your Gin & Tonics to less than 5 a day and it'll be fine. Remember a few billion kids survived under much worse conditions. Read Angela's Ashes.

i think being aware informed and educated are all good things but with that we can also go overboard there doesnt seem to be a happy medium though, i am 34 near 35 and in my fourth pregnancy ,i can honestly give input on this subject but i think its important to always remember that there are n guarantees with any side of this debate you can do the so called right thing during pregnancy and have complications and you can do the absolute wrong and be blessed with no consequences. i was naive and uninformed at20 with my first but did do things that anyone knows is wrong, i often wonder tho is ignorance really bliss? i was a drug addict at the time and used heroin every day smoked cigarettes and marijuana up until i was nearly five months pregnant then (thankfully)was incarcerated and spent the remainder of my pregnancy inside plus a month after giving birth, i was placed on the methadone program to avoid loosing the baby due to going through withdrawals they (doctors) believe its best to be on methadone whilst pregnant rather than risk loosing the baby if you withdraw also but if yr on methadone they can treat the baby for withdrawals if need be once born wheras if your on herion they cant do anything but helplessly let bubs withdraw as they dont know whats in the herion yr using but they know everything about the methadone but i was very very blessed my boy was born 8 pound 4 ounces and altho he did withdraw they were able to treat it, he is now two months shy of his 14th birthday and has had no problems physucal or mental he is healthy loves his sport is smart (altho doesnt use his brains as much as i would like) but my point is he has no ill effects from what i did during my pregnancy and believe me when i say YES i DO know how lucky and fortunate iam and how selfish i was back then . now i have a 11 month old who i almost did everything right i did smoke alittle but drug free and didnt eat the wrong foods and didnt drink and altho all seems ok he does have a lazy eye but otherwise seems ok but it was my worst pregnancy with stress and he was born early and very low birth weight he was 5 pound and altho i ate everything i could to put his weight up and just lived so much better than when i was 20 so i was surprised that i had some problems with him when i expected him to be the healthiest ! altho age and other factors play a part i had the rhesus factor so they had to monitor the whole pregnancy and took him out once my blood began attacking him and after he had to have blood transfusion but like i say there just are n guarantees now that im pregnant again im going to be wise and reduce the risks such as eating properly and not drinking drunk and reducing my smoking but i wont be going overboard i wil have the occasional drink i had one drink last week and ive got one drink in the fridge but im going to leave that until i have my first ultrasound which is today i do believe that in yr first trimester perhaps being more careful as this is when everything is being developed but with my experience i know its not necassarily going to guarantee anythimg but as im older and more informed i do worry more and because i know how lucky i have been im very aware that i should appreciate my luck and not abuse it and i also worry that id be punished if i did the wrong thing now considering how fortunate ive been, but i think its gods will or the universe or who knows but i think so much of its out of our hands getting pregnant is such a miracle in itself appreciate it follow yr instincts and dont go overboard and not enjoy yr pregnany but also find that happy medium for you and treat yr body well for you.... good luck to everyone who is expecting and please do not judge me for what ive admitted here as i found this very hard to admit and put it out there i know iam blessed!!

I am currently 30 weeks into my second pregnancy and am living in Europe, first Florence and now Barcelona and I have only been advised to stay away from raw foods and to wash all my fruits and vegetables. My doctor when giving me my food warnings even told me to eat prosciutto cotto (ham) but to avoid the prosciutto crudo (what we know as prosciutto). Unfortunately, though I have had to abstain from all the beautiful cheeses, prosciutto crudo, jamon and smoked salmon that is so widely available in my local market, which takes quite a bit of self-control.
The Europeans also seem to have a more relaxed attitude to having the occasional glass of wine or beer while pregnant, although they are not big drinkers anyway, they have a respect for alcohol that just isn't present in Australia. In fact I am very much showing and waiters have no qualms in asking me if I also want a drink when my husband orders one, but I obviously do not always take up their offer. In a pregnancy diet given to a woman I knew by a doctor in Italy, it advised she actually drink a small glass of red wine with both lunch and dinner (Italian wine is also not as high in alcohol as Australian wines) and an espresso with breakfast.
With my first pregnancy I sat across from a woman in my office who used to judge everything I put in my mouth, and would comment that she "would never risk" the cup of tea or coffee I would have in the mornings, amongst other things. Not only did I grow to resent her, vehemently, I had done a lot of reading up on the matter and I kindly (out loud, I wasn't so kind in my head) advised her that I could make my own decisions. This kind of judgemental attitude helps no one, and unless a woman is blatantly disregarding the health of her unborn child, and herself, then people should keep their mouths shut. Our doctors and nurses do a great job of advising us of the risks and harms that are involved with what we consume during pregnancy.
In other words, what we have been told to be cautious of and when to moderate our behaviour has turned into paranoia which is causing undue stress on many women, and it should be up to each and every woman to decide what is right for her. As long as those choices are based on sufficient evidence, which I think most pregnant women make sure they do.
A final thought on the matter should be that although there is no peer reviewed scientific evidence to prove that enjoying a wine every now and then is not harmful, there is even less proving that it is harmful, and there are lot of extremely healthy people out there, and have been for centuries, whose mothers had a tipple every now and then.

My nana told me back in her day, it was the norm to sit around and have a beer or wine while pregnant. Oh, and a smoke. It was never frowned upon like it is now.

Thanks for bringing this one out again. I haven't read it before and it really has made me calmer about Listeria.
I have had two sips of alcohol since falling pg which sent me on a guilt spiral and had lettuce on my big mac (once) then later found out that the lettuce may have Listeria and again, I stressed and felt guilty about my apparent negligence.
Since researching the 'naughty' list of foods, I have become a little OTT with my food choices. Christmas day is going to prove hard though.

I can tell you that we supplied a smoking room in our Maternity Hospital for our patients in the late 70's but it doesn't make it right.
Problem with the "we used to do it and we turned out ok" argument is that it doesn't account for the fact that since that time we have been blessed with research and science that now explains the higher rate of sick babies back in the 'old days'.
If you'd like to live in the days when we didn't know the curse that smoking and alcohol can be to our developing babies then be flippant about today's recommendations but if you are happy to enjoy the fact that the mortality and morbidity of our babies is at an all time low then we should embrace these recommendations to change our behaviour.

I'd probably avoid cold deli meats and soft cheeses, but honestly, lysteria can also be in raw vegetables etc... I dunno. I don't drink much anyway so I probably wouldn't change that habit during pregnancy. I might have a drink if I really felt like it, but I wouldn't be drinking more than once a month if so - same as I do now. I think it's up to each individual how much they want to do in this regard. I don't mind the idea of people avoiding every risk if they want to - just so long as they don't impose their standards on me.

After 5 years of trying to conveive we were paraniod about getting our diets right once we finally got pregnant. My wife and I read loads of books and did acupuncture, saw a nutritionists, doctors and other healthcare professionals. We got such mixed messages on what we should and shouldn't eat - it was friggin confusing. The Italians all eat deli meats but don't eat soft cheese when pregnant, my neighbour ate soft cheese as long as it was pasteurised and the Indians must eat hot curry when pregnant so why can't we?
One of the best books we read was The Bump to Baby Diet but not sure who the author is. Also we Decided to stop asking friends their thoughts as everyone had different opinions which made it confusing. My wife got a great little card from our fish shop which told her which fish she could and couldn't eat. It was business card size so easy to keep in her purse.

Hard Work and Results of same
Remember the pile of mulch I said was left from the tree we had cut down?
Well I got into it after weeding part of the garden for the third time! The silly mulch was really hot, almost charred at the top (spontaneous combustion, anyone?)
Almost 6 hours of weeding, Putting out Preen and mulching gave me one nice area with a few daylilies. I shouldn't have to weed this again for a while.
Thank you Mantis. I am wishing I had had them put another big load at the back...they did put a smaller lead of finer mulch from the trimming in the on the other two big trees in the back...I plan to use that around the roses. I have never put down mulch that it wasn't hard work, but nothing makes the garden look neater (and for longer) to me than when it is nicely weeded and mulched.
It is work, but it saves work in the long run, doesn't it? Everything looks really good, & always good to get free mulch. I guess it really wasn't free though, was it.
Talking about hot mulch, a few years ago they put down mulch at work, like they do every spring. I went out a day or 2 later, really hot weather. The mulch was in flames. I ran in & got some water. Got it put out & called the maintenance people. Went back out just a few minutes later & there were flames again in a spot a couple of feet away. I don't know if someone tossed out a cigarette, or it just got that hot, since it was in 2 different spots.

A minimum wage of Rs. 50 per hour and weekly-offs were some of the demands made by domestic workers, who protested in the city on Wednesday.
Notice before termination of service, paid holidays and medical benefits were some of the other requirements demanded as part of a national policy for domestic workers. Domestic workers from Ashok Nagar, Ambatur, Saidapet, Anna Nagar, T. Nagar, Adyar, Kodambakkam, Korukkupet, Aminjikarai and other neighbourhoods gathered near the State guest house.
"Domestic workers across the country are not entitled to weekly offs, medical benefits, notice period or paid leave. Instead, they are exploited and overworked. This has to end," said Clara, state co-ordinator, Tamil Nadu Domestic workers Federation.
The number of domestic workers has been on the rise mainly due to mechanisation in the construction sector. However, members of the federation said, working conditions and pay remain poor.
A memorandum with several demands was given to the State labour minister, secretary to the labour department and to the commissioner of labour by the federation. "Similar protests will be held in the coming weeks in each district across the State to highlight our plight and demands," said Clara.

2007 Nissan Versa Hatchback 1.8 SL 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl CVT)
I like it very much because it has very good Fuel Economy and Comfort.
Read the full review
Coming from an '02 Ford Explorer, my concept of spacious is a little warped. But my Versa is BIG inside! The rear storage under the hatch is deceiving - it looks small but is very deep. It handles great, and everything seems really solid. Interior design is a little funky, and the comfy front seats (the dealer tells me that they're Maxima seats) leave not so much room for good cup holders or useful console. So what? I'll get used to it. Great door buckets/pockets, even in the back seat. I've driven over 800 miles in a little over a week and have been running the A/C pretty much non-stop. Averaging ~32 MPG on the first 3 fillups.

I fell in love with this vechile as soon as I test drove it. It's just fun to drive. It's roomy and handles well. Very responsive steering, good braking. Bluetooth seems to work well. Too soon to know for sure what the gas mileage will be.

I got the car to replace a minivan. I found that the room inside the car makes this easy. The car is small but the passenger space inside made moving from a minivan to a car very very easy, everything fits. I dive several hundred miles a day, and the car is a joy climate controls work great and the smart key is a wonder. I had a problem with the bluetooth but nissan helped. But I find the people in the phone too polite and thick Brithish/Indian accents.

I owned another 4 cylinder car and the Versa has way much more power although it has 122 of horsepower. The ride feels great and smooth. It handle well. I consider this car small, economy with a bit of pep to it.

2007 Nissan Versa Hatchback 1.8 S 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 4A)
This is a luxury car disguised as a subcompact. It drives and has most all of the features of a car that costs $10,000 more than this car. It's a steal!

2007 Nissan Versa Hatchback 1.8 S 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 6M)
The Versa is a well desinged, well built and most importantly well though out vehicle. Nissan has done it again. The car drives beautifully gets great gas mileage and makes you feel as though you are in a luxury car, not an econobox. I heavily researched toe Yaris and Fit, Civic and Corolla. The Versa was the best overall choice, and oh yeah...the best price apple to apples. Don't hesitate.

I mean come on now, what do people expect for a cheap car. I thought when I bought it that it would make a great commute car! Then my wife decided to drive it to Florida to visit her sister instead of her Quest. It is an awsome little car! It drives great, gets good mileage and has plenty of room. But the best part is I could buy 2 for what I was expecting to pay for my "new" car! She has averaged 32+ going down at a steady 80, I would have to believe it might hit 34-35 when it is broken in good (still has less than 1500 miles on it)

If you have not driven this car with the CVT trans, you are missing something special. Big car inside, small car outside. Excellent field of view all around. Handles like a sports car. The interior style is just enough.

GREAT CAR! I absolutely love my new Nissan. I get great gas mileage, it's sporty to drive, and the interior space is very efficient and user friendly. I would reccomend this car to anyone who has a limited budget.

HOBBS, N.M. (AP) — A southeastern region of New Mexico facing a housing shortage thanks to a Permian Basin oil boom has seen several planned projects fall through.
Oil hot NM area still facing housing shortage
The Hobbs News-Sun reports (http://bit.ly/14Y8qZs) that a number of affordable housing projects in recent months have fizzled in Hobbs and Lea County despite the pressing demand for housing near the Texas border.
For example, a planned 60-home, 12-acre mobile home park that sought to bring homes selling at less than $100,000 fell through last month due to a lack of financing. "I was having challenges getting the financing secured. That is what killed it," Albuquerque developer Tony Lopes said of his planned Willow Creek subdivision. "The banks out here in Albuquerque were unwilling to loan on something that was 'too speculative.'"
Meanwhile, a proposed 60-unit affordable senior living apartment complex in Jal and Eunice flopped earlier this year when the developer, Chelsea Investment Corp., didn't secure state tax credits.
A similar problem plagued Albuquerque-based YES! Housing and a planned 72-unit affordable apartment complex near City Park in Hobbs. YES! also failed to win a bid for highly-competitive state tax credits.

fast growing privacy trees
I am hoping for suggestions from experience on what would be the best type of tree to use for a privacy barrier to run about 250 to 300 feet. I am located in zone 5/Eastern Washington State. We are looking pretty much for a total privacy barrier at a height of at least 15 feet or more. We have been told the hybrid Willow or golden willow would be good choices for this region and for what we are looking to do. The question we have is that we have read where the roots can be a bit intrusive on sprinkler and or other type of underground pipes and was wondering if anyone had any idea how much area around these type of trees would be safe. Plus from experience can someone give us an idea on how far apart these type of trees would need to be planted to obtain quick privacy. The images we have saw of the hybrid willow the tree looks huge and you would think 10 feet apart would be plenty but we have read from a little as 3 to 5 feet apart. Anyway any tips or suggestions would be appreciated a great deal. Cost of course is a factor as well. Plus any other type of tree suggestions would be appreciated as well if there are any others that would do the job.
Thank you, Frank
My neighbor's weeping willow STILL has green and yellow leaves. Not to mention it has grown fast as can be.
How far from the sprinklers and all are you planting?
Try to plant a variety of species. That way when the Chinese XXXXX bug comes through your whole screen doesnt die.
As tornado mentioned, it covers your rear end if you plant more than one species. And rather that a solid hedge, which screams out to future potential homebuyers... "whatever you do... don't look behind here," a mixed hedge not planted in a single line will look like "landscaping," which adds value to a property rather than attracts attention to a fault like being very close to a neighbor or having a neighbor that has a junk car collection.
In that region, I think you can grow just about everything your heart desires and from what I gather everything under the sun grows like a beast in the northwest. And you can actually find stuff to plant. I'll defer to the people who live in that area, they'll give you some ideas.
I will say that willows in general, are not that desireable. The hybrid willows are often used here in the midwest as windbreaks and they really aren't much to look at. Seems like unless you're in the eastern part of your state you will probably have a lot more, better options.
My experience of the knowledge of "designers" and MGs in E WA is generally not good, so you must be careful of advice you get out there. Good, knowledgeable landscape advice is hard to find, but cr*ppy advice is very easy to come by.
Sure, you can have willows, but the second you are gone and something cuts off their water they are dead in the single-digit humidity and wind. I'd contact your County Extension agency and see what they have, esp wrt what critters and pests are in the area. Extension agents are pretty good out there, esp the closer you get to Wazoo or Yakima.
For a privacy screen, consider choosing trees that are evergreen in your area.
Willow, along with poplar, is one of those trees it's recommended not be planted anywhere near a septic tank or leach field.
Tell us a bit more what your planting conditions are like.....what kind of soil, soil pH, accessibility to water, exposure to wind, etc. Knowing that will make appropriate suggestions easier to come by :-)
I'd hesitate to recommend the willows unless you have an expansive piece of property and an unlimited and consistant supply of water. They DO have a very aggressive and widespreading root system and will seek out water sources over a large distance. Any inground piping or plumbing or septic system within around 40' will be vulnerable. They also produce a lot of surface roots and planting close to driveways can create issues down the road:-) And you sure as heck don't want them close to any structure. Willows, hybrid or not, are prone to a host of pest and disease issues and tend to have brittle wood that is easily damaged in wind or snow/ice. And they need copious amounts of water to thrive and produce that fast growth they are touted about.
Water availability in the northwest, especially in our rather dry summers, is something to keep in mind. Ideally, you would want something that is going to be more drought tolerant than not. Water is not an unlimited resource here and for ease of maintenance and ecological responsibility, drought tolerance is an extremely desirable attribute. And "fast" growing also tends to be very closely aligned with being short-lived, not to mention, growing to be BIG. Is there an upper limit on height you intend?
I have no issues with planting a screening hedge of a single species - it does not necessarily mean you are 'hiding' anything - but 300' of the same species will be a bit boring to say the least. A mixed planting of both deciduous and evergreen trees (and shrubs!! shrubs often offer better and faster screening than do trees) will be visually far more interesting as well as offer increased wildlife attraction.
I'd get ahold of a copy of EB1579: Landscape Plants for the Inland Northwest from the WSU extension office or you can access it online. It's about 80 pages and a hard copy may come in handy if you are planning much landscaping. But if you can come back with answers to some of your site conditions outlined above, perhaps we can provide some more immediate suggestions.

Breaking the Silence: Speaker at BSU conference talks about 1977 attack in state park
One summer night in 1977, as Terri Jentz and her Yale roommate Shayna Weiss slept in a tent in a state park in Oregon during a cross-country bicycle trip, they were met with terror.
A stranger drove over the tent with a pickup truck and then attacked them with an ax, Jentz described Monday night at the Breaking the Silence Conference at Bemidji State University.

Ultrexx Corporation Leads US Consortium to Participate in Multimedia Projects in Malaysia.
- Yayasan Guru (Teachers Foundation of Malaysia) Makes Alliance
with Ultrexx Corporation -
Ultrexx Corporation, Seattle, Washington (symbol `ULTX' on NASD bulletin board), announces that it is leading an International Consortium called Ultrexx-SSDI (Smart Systems Development and Integration) to pursue business opportunities in the Malaysian Multimedia Super Corridor Initiative.
Ultrexx has entered into a partnership with Yayasan Guru (Teachers Foundation of Malaysia) to pursue joint ventures in the area of Teachers Training. Trained teachers will participate in the Smart School initiative, one of the flagship ventures of the Multimedia Supercorridor. Joint ventures presently being explored by the partnership include the design and implementation of a Teachers Resource Center and a network of Smart Training Centers throughout Malaysia. Ultrexx-SSDI Consortium members include the Community Education Life Long Learning Center (CELL Center), Grays Harbor, Washington and the Washington State University (WSU), Pullman, Washington.
The CELL center is a creative learning consortium dedicated to providing high technology services and educational lifelong learning opportunities. It is a unique Smart School environment connected to over 20 school districts in Western Washington and serves as a hub for telecommunications, voice, data and distance learning. It is supported by leading private and public sector institutions including NASA and National Science Foundation.
"The Multimedia Super Corridor in Malaysia is a significant opportunity for the application of advanced communication, multimedia and networking technologies. Our consortium members bring many years of proven expertise in the application of technology to education, including Satellite based distant learning. There is great potential for the use of knowledge base tools such as our flagship product `Cruxpert', in the field of education. We are very excited at the tremendous growth opportunities in Malaysia and S.E. Asia," said Ram Menon, CEO of Ultrexx Corporation.
The Smart School project is one of the flagship applications in the Multimedia Super Corridor. Utilizing new instructional methodologies, multimedia technologies and worldwide networking, over 9000 schools will be transformed into Smart Schools. This will involve an estimated enrollment of over 5 million students and 400,000 teachers. The project has significant implications, particularly on multimedia infrastructure deployment, training and materials development.
"Yayasan Guru (Teachers Foundation of Malaysia) is an organization that is committed to the welfare of teachers. It is the largest single organization in Malaysia with membership to date of over 150,000 teachers. The Ministry of Education is fully committed to support the Foundation. In order for the Smart School project to truly succeed, it is imperative that the teachers in Malaysia be trained in the new paradigms of instruction pedagogy and technology. We must assist the teachers to adapt to this new environment. The Teachers Foundation in alliance with Ultrexx-SSDI will bring proven expertise to achieve this goal," said Tan Sri Dr. Wan Zahid, Chairman of Yayasan Guru Berhad, during his visit to Seattle this week.
Founded in 1991 Ultrexx, is a publicly held corporation (ULTX) based in Seattle, Washington. Since 1996, Ultrexx has been developing "Rapid Application Development Tools" for knowledge base development and distribution over the Internet and the corporate Intranet. CRUX, Inc., is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ultrexx Corporation, (symbol `ULTX' on NASD bulletin board). CruXpert(TM), Version 2.0, a Rapid Application Expert System Development Tool deployed on the Internet, is the flagship product of CRUX, Inc.

'Game of Thrones' Author George R.R. Martin Inks Overall Deal With HBO
The scribe behind one of the network's highest-rated series will stay on as co-executive producer for at least another two years, simultaneously developing other projects.
HBO is staying in business with George R. R. Martin.
The author behind the network's successful Game of Thrones series has signed a two-year overall deal that will keep him on as co-executive producer for an additional two years, The Hollywood Reporter confirms. Additionally, Martin will develop and produce other projects for HBO.
PHOTOS: 'Game of Thrones' Season 3 Preview
Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire book series serves as source material for Game of Thrones -- and he has twice penned scripts for the drama, which is going into its third season.
Trailing only True Blood in average ratings, Game of Thrones has been a smash for the network. The series averaged a gross audience north of 10.4 million viewers in its second season, with the 2012 finale drawing a record 4.2 million in its first play.
Martin is repped by WME. His longtime manager Vince Gerardis is attached to his HBO deal.
Game of Thrones returns to HBO on March 31.

Two North American firms that specialize in horizontal directional drilling, Brotherton Pipeline and Direct Horizontal, have merged their equipment and workforce to form Brotherton-Direct.
PipeLine Machinery International (PLM), Caterpillar's global pipeline equipment dealer, has recently teamed with Cranesmart Systems and is the exclusive distributor of the Pipelayer System, the industry's first wireless load monitoring indicator (LMI) system for pipelayers.
TERRA AG has developed a manhole HDD drill that is able to undertake directional bores from manhole to manhole and from manhole to all near-by homes. At 2.5-feet depth, telephone cables can be laid; water lines at 4-inch depth, and gas or power lines at 5 feet.
Rigonomics: [n.] efficiently and effectively conducting HDD operations to ensure maximum profits
Plan the work, work the plan -- good advice no matter what the job. On construction projects, failure to properly follow that simple advice can result in lost and wasted time, costly errors and accidents.
Advertisers in the print edition of Underground Construction, June 2010, Vol. 65 No. 6.
Of all sanitary sewer operations, blockage removal is perhaps the most demanding and highly visible. For the purpose of this discussion a blockage is defined as the "stopping or interruption of sanitary sewerage flow."
It's really only been a little over 20 years since horizontal directional drilling effectively became mainstream for all rig sizes. In that time, the technology has progressed from a unique method for installing large diameter steel pipes under streams and rivers, to a procedure that can now shoot a tiny conduit from street curb to home.
The Griffin Electric Wellpoint Pump, model 6WPRE, features fully automatic, dry priming and dry running, self-contained, portable dewatering pump.
Leica PowerDigger 3D expands on the unique PowerSnap concept, which provides total flexibility and interchangeability of machine control products and of machines such as excavators, dozers and graders.
The 324 compact excavator is a conventional tail swing unit in the 1.5-ton operating class. Its boom cylinder is attached to the top of the boom instead of the bottom, giving it more protection from damage while digging.

"Are you ready?"Licard ask Marlitana."Open it!"Mariltana replied.Licard opened the big door to his ships storage room and an angry rancor was let lose! "Ha!We'll see how those little padawans make it out now!"Mariltana's green eyes shined excitedly with the idea of how much she and Licard were going to get payed by doing this!"Lets get this ship in the air so that we can watch this battle!"Licared laughed, watching a Rancor feast on the innocent was one of his favorite hobbies."OK,"Malitana sighed,she hated watching people die but there was nothing else to do.*********** Alana jumped up. She sensed that a rancor was coming to eat her, Jax,and Samelo! Wait, the Force didn't tell her that, the ground shook.Alana looked toward a rock that was a several yards away, the boys were sleeping on top of it."Wake up!"Alana commanded in a loud voice. The boys were still asleep."RORRR!"the rancor screamed from a mile away.The boys jumped off the rock, even Jax whose leg was injured!"What are we going to do?"Samelo asked as soon as he saw a large figure running towards them.Alana rolled her eyes, she knew that both of the boys were discouraged and all but really, they ask what are they going to do?"We'll fight!"Alana said trying to talk as kindly as she could."Alana-"Jax began but before he could say anything else Alana grabbed him and pulled him back up onto the rock."Here's the plan!Do you guys remember that story of that Togruta padawan who used the Jedi mind trick on Jabba's rancor?"Alana asked.The boys nodded."OK, then, good.Cause Samelo, you are going to use the Jedi mind trick on the Rancor that's coming and then we'll ride it to the town!"Alana contiued excitedly. Samelo's face brightened and Jax became excited,"Finally!We found away to get out of here!""RORR!"the rancor was coming closer and closer.Samelo's heart pounded in his chest.Finally the Rancor was so close that Samelo could almost touch him!"NOW!"Alana shouted over the Rancor's roars."You are a tamed animal that will take me and my friends to the town." The rancor stopped roaring and sat as though he was waiting for them to hop on!"It worked!"Samelo laughed.The three hoped on the rancor and rode off toward the town.*********"What?!"Marlitana exclaimed.She had never seen anything like this!"Smart kids,"Licard grumbled."I'll show them whose smart!"Marlitana snapped angrily."Drop me off a in front of the town,I'll give them a nice greeting,"she told Licard.Licard then began to set the ship on course for the town called Libernad.Marlitana grinned wickedly.She would finish these clever padawans,despite her beliefs.**************************************************TO BE CONTINUED*****************************************
