The decennial census is a constitutionally-mandated activity that produces critical data used to apportion congressional seats, redraw congressional districts, and allocate billions of dollars in federal assistance. This testimony discusses (1) the various measures of population used to allocate federal grant funds (2) how the accuracy of the population count and measurement of accuracy have evolved and the U.S. Census Bureau's (Bureau) plan for coverage measurement in 2010; and (3) the potential impact that differences in population estimates can have on the allocation of grant funds. This testimony is based primarily on GAO's issued work in which it evaluated the sensitivity of grant formulas to population estimates.
In fiscal year 2000, GAO found that 85 percent of federal government obligations in grants to state and local governments were distributed on the basis of formulas that use data such as state population and personal income. The decennial census is the foundation for measuring the nation's population. It provides a count of the population every 10 years, and is the starting point for estimates of population made in years between the censuses. Obtaining an accurate population count through the decennial census has been a concern since the first census in 1790. Concern that the decennial census undercounted the population has continued since then. To measure accuracy, the Bureau since 1940 has used demographic analysis, in which it compares census counts with information on births, deaths, and other information. With the exception of 1990, the Bureau's demographic analysis shows that the extent to which the census undercounted the population has declined. More recently, the Bureau has used statistical techniques in which it compares the census count with the results of an independent sample survey of the population. For 2010, the Bureau plans to use similar statistical techniques to measure the accuracy and coverage of the census. Evaluating the accuracy of the census is essential given the importance of the data, the need to know the nature of any errors, and the cost of the census overall. GAO's prior work has illustrated that the accuracy of state and local population estimates may have some effect on the allocation of grant funds. Specifically, to show the sensitivity of grant programs to alternative population estimates, GAO simulated how two grant program formulas would allocate federal funds to states if population estimates were substituted for census counts. This simulation was done for illustrative purposes only. While only actual census numbers should be used for official purposes, this simulation showed some shifting of grant funds among the states when estimates were used. For example, recalculating allocations of Social Services Block Grant funds using estimates of population for 2000, rather than the census count, would result in shifting $4.2 million--or 0.25 percent--of $1.7 billion in fiscal year 2004 funds. Specifically, 27 states and the District of Columbia would have gained $4.2 million and 23 states would have lost a total of $4.2 million.

This is one of Lincoln's best restaurants. A nice place to go on a date to enjoy some delicious Thai food. My recommendation: sip on some Saki and eat the Pad Thai. Golden Triangles are yummy appetizers!
Great server (Eric) and spectacular food and drinks. The Tom Yum Soup was excellent! The environment was clean and calming, beautiful fresh flowers on the table.
Super spicy green curry and delicious drinks and dessert. The atmosphere was fancy (I felt slightly awkward with my baby there amongst the lawyers and bankers.) Service was on the slow side, but we weren't in any hurry. Would definitely eat here again when visiting Lincoln.
Great food. ... very spicy for someone who love spicy food. Got the drunken noodle. Went with a large group and service was fine
Too salty, oily drunken noodles. $1.50 for one shrimp in soup little outragious. Small portions about $2 overpriced. Not enough vegetables in Asian delight, boiled chicken, (lazy or lack of knowledge) bland. Lot of money for mostly white rice.
I first ate here when it opened and it initially did not wow me. The last couple of times it has been divine. I had the drunken noodles and Thai tea on this trip and it was epic. Seriously nose-running, buzzed on caffeine perfection. Service and price are excellent as well.
Having been here before, I knew what to expect and am pleased they are consistently good. Service is well done and not over the top and the food was very good and the vegetables were fresh. It was busy due to several events going on so I would recommend making reservations, if possible. Even then, they try their best to...
Love the food atmosphere and service. One of my favorite restUranus in Lincoln. Love the curry dishes.
Blue Orchid has great, unique Thia food. You can choose what type of meat or vegetable you want in each dish. They also have awesome desserts!
I have ate here countless times Times, the two constants are that the food is amazing but the service is below average. I would recommend but make sure your waiter and or waitress is aware that you like good service. Of the 66

Any one else see this?
HAHA yea i did just see this on intuitions facebook page!! you beat me to the punch, i wanted to share it!! lol. Hilarious i think. Everyone knows there are bad brewers, they exsist :P
"This one should be ready in 2 mins" HAHAHA!! epic.
I don't know, those homebrew beers look like a glass I got at Wild Wings once. Pretty sure the local one has never cleaned their beer lines - at least the non-BMC ones as the last couple of times I had one of the few craft beers they offered the flavors were WAY off... and they were beers I am very familiar with.
I'll bet BMC did have something to do with that. However- let's be honest- it's funny and it's not like craft brew drinkers are knocking down the door of Buffalo Wild Wings.
"studiopub" for 10% off Grog Tag
it kinda annoys me...because, tons of people have no idea about homebrewing and craft beer, now I see that commercial and and it almost makes a mockery of what we are doing here! Granted I do know some crap brewers who should just ditch the Ale Pale or Mr beer kit, and leave it to people who are interested in it, and not just the cheap drunk.
But still, I am willing to pay twice the price of a BMC for a craft beer, yet you poke fun at my hobby (hopefully some day career)...BWW will not be getting any of my money any time....
Eh. It's just stereotyping. They had to go somewhere because, as everyone knows, it ain't right to say that:
Jews are tight with money
Blacks are criminals
Asians can't drive
Homosexual males are effeminate
Mexicans pick beans
Blondes are dumb
Blah, blah, blah.
I bet they had to really scrape the bottom of the bucket for some group to make fun of.
Also you can blame the brewers who keep putting weird things in their beer, like bacon.
bratwurst beer... off to make a recipe!
RDWHAHB. If you can't laugh at yourself, everybody else will do it for you.
I thought it was kind of funny. I'm not a fan of Bdubs to begin with so to me it was meh. That homebrew dude did look kind of like me though, minus the protective goggles and the apron...

Over the Rivers: An Aerial View of Geology,
by Michael Collier
Roughly speaking, the difference between sedimentologists and geomorphologists comes down to their angle on the geological world. Sediments are, at least by origin, horizontal and always require that perspective. Geomorphologists prefer the vertical: What shaped a particular topography? In this, geologist and family physician Michael Collier is the quintessential geomorphologist. He peers down on the landscape with a Pentax from his Cessna 180 recording the way rivers and the land they cross interact. But he's more than that.
After my first browse of Collier's book,
Over the Rivers
(Mikaya Press, 2008, $34.95), neither earth scientist nor physician came to mind. Collier is a photographer of the highest caliber, someone who deeply understands the photographer's paintbrush, what he himself calls "Rembrandt light." Each of the book's 73 aerial images of rivers at work is captivating, and the accompanying text helps the viewer decipher the landscape.
The photographs are restricted to North America and concentrate in the desert Southwest, where the Earth readily reveals in skeleton. But nothing is lost by the focus. It's impossible to come away from this book without a deeper appreciation of our home and the processes that shape it.—David Schoonmaker ‹PREVIOUS12345NEXT›»View All

Food Network partners 15 street vendors for interactive campaign
By Matthew Chapman, campaignlive.co.uk, Monday, 01 October 2012 08:00AM
Food Network UK is launching a digital campaign based on a partnership with 15 street food vendors to push its forthcoming 'Andy Bates American Street Feasts' series.
Holler created the campaign, which will encourage customers to tweet a picture and description of food bought from participating vendors using the #StreetFeastsUSA hashtag.
Each vendor is giving away 20 free lunches over the course of the week, based on what the they think are the best images sent through Twitter.
All tweets and images posted by people using the hashtag will be added to an interactive online map hosted on the Food Network website.
Participating vendors will also receive advertising on the Food Network UK Facebook page and mentions across the brand's other social media channels.
In the week following the airing of the first episode, Bates will visit the food vendor who generated the most social media posts on the interactive food map.
Food Network UK will also run a Twitter Q&A with Bates during the premiere of the show at 6.30pm on 8 October.
The series comprises 15 episodes of 30 minutes each and follows Bates across the Atlantic as he travels to the US to uncover the best American street food.
Food Network is turning to crowdsourcing to further expand the campaign by inviting food and lifestyle bloggers to submit their choices for the 'Top 100 Street Food Stalls' via the interactive map.
It is hoped the activity will establish Food Network UK as the authority on street food.
Influential bloggers will be invited to take part in a street food Apprentice-style challenge with Andy Bates with video content from the event uploaded to the network.
Kate Bradshaw, head of digital at Food Network UK, said it was the "first channel to uncover and showcase street food as a genre, with Andy Bates a great example of the authentic, grass-roots talent unearthed by the channel".Follow @mattchapmanuk

This is a screen shot from a Brady episode, right? Do you know what the current status of that house is today?
Like so many others, I grew up with the Brady's...I have a 10-year-old son now who absolutely loves the show, and we have great quality time watching it together. The messages and storylines in the episodes are so much better for kids than the overly complicated offerings they get from contemporary TV today.
Anyway, thanks for sharing your pics; it looks like you're doing great!
My sister found cigarettes in her son's pants when he was in high school, and was a bit upset about it. I reminded her of the episode where the PTA woman was over, and Greg's friend's cigarettes fell out of his coat pocket. I told her it was probably her son's friend's cigs, she was not amused.
I thought it was pretty quick thinking actually.....
I grew up with the "Bunch" , it was my favorite show (heck it still is!!) When I was a kid I could not wait until Friday nite to watch the show. Up to this day I will drop everything I am doing if I am going through the channels and find the Brady Bunch on tv. I remember one Christmas in the early 1970s I got to choose a dollhouse for a holiday gift. The one I chose? One that looked just like this house! ;-)
Great photo Greg! :-)
I took a photo of the actual house about 2 months ago. I'll post it soon.
Has anyone been inside the actual Brady home? It would be interesting to see what the actual interior looks like. I am sure the owners of the home are used to the traffic due to all the Brady fans that want to see the house.
Greg...I mean Barry ;-) Have you ever had the opportunity to tour the real Brady house?
I've got a whole flickr page-full of spec renderings of what the inside of this house may look like. For now, I'm afraid, it's as close as anybody's gonna come to getting inside the place.
I seen your renderings, they are wonderful! Great job!
I seen the house listed on Zillow.com, it is well over $1 Million. There are a few arial shots of it. There is a large addition on the back.
Thank you, CarrouselGraphix!! :-) Can you believe that place is worth more than a million?! The house next door to it (the one we assumed was the Dittmeyer's) was up for sale for well over a year and was going for more than a million as well!
You are welcome Robert Reed fan!! :-) If that house was in Mass it would be about 450 to 500K. The house was built in 1959, added on in 1960. It is 2,477 square feet. 5 bedroom 3 bathrooms. Now ...didnt the Brady kids share one bathroom? lol! How much did the Dittmeyers house sell for? The real estate is pretty high out there!

I thought this song was pretty unique. I don't really like songs with drum beats like in this song , but with the drum's beat and the other music it just sorta fit together. I thought it was a special song that is really awsome! Nice work!
I am glad you felt the drums fit. I wasn't a big percussion fan myself, though as it stands right now, I love them to bits.
Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it! I apologize for the late response!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
just when i thought you couldnt get any better (because it kicked so much ass already) lol.
This is indeed one of my favorite pieces. I had just found out about the African drums in my sample library, and then went ballistic on them :D!
Thank you for the review, I am glad you liked it! I apologize for the mad delayed response!

Monkey Princess Is Here
This is Annie's granddaughter Makayla. Also I'm Very popular with the name of Monkey Princess,As you all know.
Oh, she already did! Her cousin Jamison helped her peel and cut up zucchini and they have a big dehydrator full of zucchini simmered in Black Cherry koolaid. (grin)
We went to Michigan's Adventure today, tomorrow I take them all back to their respective homes and then go help Sherry finish up a couple of small repair projects.
I'll have get together pictures soon!
Annie (who still won't take a backseat to the Monkey Princess because Her Highness does not have internet connection and can only use the computer at her grandmother's house! Plus, she has to be in bed by 10 pm, LOL)
Zucchini simmered in black cherry koolaid and then dried? Sounds interesting....do you then eat the zuke chips or make jewelry with them? LOL - ;o) Are they like a sweet pickle or a fruit leather snack? Or was this a mad scientist Monkey Princess experiment?
And when is the local fair? And what will you enter this year?
Very happy to see you here!
By the way, where does the name Monkey Princess come from? At first I thought you were the only one, but then I saw that you put numbers after the name, which made me think that there might be another one.
Learning to cook from grandmothers is the best - mine was very helpful, and I have fond memories of cooking with her. I look forward to seeing pics of what you are making.
Lars, she is the "Monkey Princess" because when she was small she'd climb all over me. I asked her if she thought she was a monkey and she said "Yes, and you are my tree". Since she was the only girl child in the family at that point, everyone referred to her as "The Princess". So, she became "Monkey Princess" and it stuck. Why is she "101"? I sure don't know, I think she's used to having numbers with all of her passwords, etc.
Teresa, the zucchini comes out of the dehydrator much like gummy worms. No one that has eaten it has yet identified it as zucchini and the kids all love the stuff. The fair is already gone and she got several blue ribbons with a couple of seconds and thirds, including one third for a picture she had drawn. We had a lot of company the week before Fair, so we didn't have the time to spend that we usually do. She made bagels and donuts and apple cinnamon syrup, brother made fudge and cookies, so we were still well represented, although no Grand Champions this year.
She's back home now, but she'll be back. She was "teaching" her cousin Jamison to cook during this last visit. (grin) She deserved her break with Grandma, her Mom had another seizure last week and she and her brother were the only ones home. Makayla got her brother outside, kept him calm, called the ambulance, gave them directions and kept her Mom from hurting herself by lying her on the floor so she didn't fall. She did well, stayed calm and I'm proud of her.
And now that's over with, we can get back to cooking, she's going to help me make salsa next week, if enough tomatoes ripen. I'm sure she'll post then, she's excited to have her own "screen name".
Welcome to CF, MP!!! I enjoyed reading your posts under your grandma's ID a few months ago. Now she's posting under yours. I'm so confused!
Yeah, anyone that's been here a while already "knows" you so that makes it all the more fun to welcome in a new generation. Has anyone else done that?
Hi Monkey Princess,
I'm another member who's delighted to welcome you. Did you know that your Oma is one of our favorite members? She often posts stories about family events (like weddings and holidays) and shows us pictures of the yummy food and the wonderful people, including you and your brother and cousins. That's why we all feel as though we know you. Even if we've never met you in person, we've seen photos and heard stories about you ever since you were babies.
Congratulations on winning all those ribbons at the fair. Soooooo ... what's your next cooking project?
Hello Monkey Princess! I rarely come to the Cooking Forum anymore but I've met your Grandmother before. You're a lucky young lady to have such a wonderful Grandmother and I'm lucky to have met her. Welcome Makayla!

Levee standing strong, officials say
The Yazoo-Mississippi Delta Levee Board has responded to normal saturation adjacent to the berm area near Robinsonville in Tunica County.
"This response is a normal, high-water exercise," said Kelly Greenwood, Yazoo-Mississippi Delta Levee Board chief engineer and CEO. "There is no cause for alarm."
Yazoo-Mississippi Delta Levee Board crews have brought in trucks of sand to contain the saturation, typical in a high-water event.
"This does not constitute a levee emergency," said Kelly Greenwood, Yazoo-Mississippi Delta Levee Board chief engineer and CEO. "We are confident in the stability of our levees, and we will continue to monitor them 24 hours a day."

Here are SI.com's future game changers, with a related poll at gallery's end: One of a talented crop of current U.S. U-17 National Team goalkeepers, Jane Campbell hopes to one day follow in the ranks of U.S. national team stars Brianna Scurry and Hope Solo. During the recent CONCACAF U-17 tournament, she had five straight shutouts and did not concede a single goal in all 450 minutes of the tournament. Campbell's performance earned the U.S a berth in the 2012 FIFA Under-17 World Cup in Azerbaijan. "Hope Solo is the best goalkeeper in the world right now and if I want to be like her I have to keep reaching my own smaller goals," Campbell recently told U.S. Soccer's website. The daughter of a pair of former Navy pilots -- her father Mike flew in the Blue Angels -- the 17-year-old has already committed to play at Stanford in the fall of 2013, when she graduates from the Darlington School (Rome, Ga.). 14 Future Game Changers July 9, 2012 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More Recommended Galleries Olympics 38 Best Shots from the Sochi Olympics 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More Olympics The Opening Ceremony of the 2014 Sochi Games was aesthetically spectacular, but it did have one rather glaring error: One of the giant Olympic rings designed to expand failed to do so.

That was the case in Sochi, where SI used two robotic units. One was in Adler Arena for Speed Skating, mounted on the lighting truss hanging from the ceiling above the track. Since there was no catwalk over the track, that was the only way to get these unique perspectives. The second was in Fisht Stadium for both Opening and Closing Ceremonies, again hanging from a lighting truss above the audience. The robotic camera rig allows us to pan, tilt, zoom, focus, trigger, and transmit images.This is all controlled from our office in the MPC via Vlan.

If you get lost whilst driving to us please call 07963 717063 and we will direct you to us or come and find you!
Parking Instructions:
Our Studio is based in a quiet residential area. Whilst we have permission to teach here, it is important to us that our neighbours and their visitors are able to park near to their properties, So when parking we would really appreciate your consideration and would ask you to follow the guidlines below.
When you arrive, please only park along our hedge line, on our side of the road or on our driveway (see street plan). As a guide, please do not park any further up than the lamp post at the top of our hedgeline and no further down than one car's length past our lowered driveway kerb. Parking anywhere else close by the studio will take up all the parking spaces and will also prevent our neighbours from easily exiting their driveways or entering their garages in particular on the camber and near other road entrances where it is obstructive and dangerous for you to park. The parking is checked at the beginning of each of our classes and we may need to ask you to move your car.
If our hedgeline and driveway have been filled, you will find plenty of road parking, near to the lower entrance of Loxford Road (on the right side as you enter / left side if you are driving back down) there is further parking on Harestone Valley Road, with only a short walk to the Studio (see street plan). You are welcome to bring your vehicle closer to drop off or collect any bulky/heavy items. If you have problems with your mobility please let us know and we will allocate you a driveway place. When you leave, you can exit Loxford Road without turning your car around, simply follow the road up the hill and at the top turn left onto Harestone Valley Road, follow the road down until you get back to the Morrisons Mini Roundabout.
The road is quite narrow so it may be necessary for one wheel to be parked on the pavement to ensure that there is enough room for an emergency vehicle to pass by your car. But please also make sure that there is enough room on the pavement for a double buggy/mobility scooter/wheelchair to pass by freely, we have been warned that there is a £30 legal fine for reported bad parking!
If you have someone dropping you off or collecting you after class, please ask your driver to consider parking in a proper space so that we do not obstruct passing vehicles or cause our neighbours difficulties accessing their driveways.
Inspired Creations is not liable for any damage to vehicles.

I don't have an actual crush on indie pop artist E.B, just a Girl Crush. You know, like a friend crush. Why? Well, for starters, Ms. Wright is the daughter of the late Eazy-E, which makes her related to rap royalty. On her bubbly, new single, E.B. too shares in having a Girl Crush, only hers sounds a little different than mine. Setting the stage on this catchy cut is the floating, synth-driven beatwork of Sonny Digital. While the production is undeniable ear candy, it plays second fiddle to E.B.'s poppy yet powerful vocals that are used to explain her interesting infatuation. This effort is not part of a larger body of work at present time, but be sure to check out her debut DJBooth feature, 2011's What I Wanna Do.

Yeah, Just Like Chappaquiddick
David Ignatius goes for broke and takes the media tantrum over the Cheney hunting accident to new heights today.
Nobody died at Armstrong Ranch, but this incident reminds me a bit of Sen. Edward Kennedy's delay in informing Massachusetts authorities about his role in the fatal automobile accident at Chappaquiddick in 1969. That story, and dozens of others about the Kennedy family, illustrates how wealthy, powerful people can behave as if they are above the law. For my generation, the fall of Richard Nixon is the ultimate allegory about how power can corrupt and destroy. It begins not with venality but with a sense of God-given mission.
Ignatius really should have left out the Nixon link -- it gave away his motive as singing of the press's glory days. Ah, when we took down a national official who disdained us. If anyone here has the "sense of God-given mission," it's today's arrogant press corps.
But Chappaquiddick? Seriously? Let us list the differences:

Do you switch lights off when you leave a room?
Started by Gumnut82 , Dec 10 2012 03:37 PM
13 replies to this topic
Posted 10 December 2012 - 03:37 PM
Do you switch lights off when you leave a room?? As in, if you won't be back for a reasonable amount of time (eg. an hour)?
I got in a quasi argument with my colleagues today about the fact that I constantly find the lights/fans/wall-mounted AC left on when there is nobody in our small, 5-person staffroom. Their logic was that 'You don't know if somebody else might come in' so the lights should simply be left on all day for convenience. I was essentially laughed at for suggesting that the last person out at any time should switch things off, because we never know if/when somebody will be coming back in. (FTR, this is a room with plenty of natural light so it's not like you're fumbling in the dark for a switch, and it's not a public space or thoroughfare at all.)
So, what do you do? Do you switch off lights automatically when you're "done" in a room (ie. not just ducking out for 2min) or do you leave them on, because somebody else may go in at an unknown time in the future?
Posted 10 December 2012 - 03:40 PM
Automatically switch off lights always. It drives me bananas when others don't do likewise.
Posted 10 December 2012 - 03:44 PM
At home I usually switch off all the lights after DH has walked in and left them all on.
He will have a shower and the kids too while I am cooking dinner and I go upstairs two hours later to find all the Tastic lights going on full, fans on etc. I can't imagine how much power that is sucking!
At work, the lights are on auto in staff room areas so they turn off when no one is there and then turn on if someone approaches.
In your work situation I would think I would turn lights off and on.
Posted 10 December 2012 - 03:45 PM
At home yes but not at work. I'm forever turning lights on at work because people seem to think dark stairwells are awesome. That said my office is in the basement so without lights it's blooming dark!
Posted 10 December 2012 - 03:56 PM
Im lights on .
If im going out and know ill be back late ill leave on lights. Hate navigating through toys in the dark. Spare room light stays on all night so I have some light if I get up.
General in and out of rooms I usually forget to turn them off
Posted 10 December 2012 - 04:01 PM
At work the only light that gets turned off is the bathroom. Well the girls does, not sure about the guys. Small company, only 3 of us girls working there, so it's not like someone is always using the bathroom.
At home, yes always. Although we do leave one on when we're out in the evening.
Posted 10 December 2012 - 04:05 PM
At home most lights are switched off when leaving a room (except maybe a small lamp in the kitchen or bedroom). At my old work we switched off the kitchen and bathroom lights when done, but where I am now it gets too dark inside so its safer to leave them on.
Posted 10 December 2012 - 04:05 PM
There is a big difference between work and home. At home, lights and tv always get turned off when I leave the room. At work, with people constantly coming and going, the light to the kitchen, stairwell, reception area etc are left on all day. The last person to leave the office for the day goes and turns everything off.
Posted 10 December 2012 - 04:10 PM
YES! It drives me crazy when DH walks around the house leaving a trail of lights behind him.
I am not currently working but my previous workplace had lights with movement sensors that would turn off if they didn't sense movement for a few minutes. Was a bit annoying in meetings when the lights would suddenly turn off though!
Posted 10 December 2012 - 04:12 PM
Home ones are automatic so I don't have to worry about it. At other people's houses I will turn them off and will in some rooms at work (meeting rooms), not others (tea room) and my office only when I am finished at the end of the day
Posted 10 December 2012 - 04:12 PM
I do but I think DH assumes the lights magically go out when he leaves the room .... or he thinks a servant follows him around the house turning off the lights and picking up his clothes.
Edited by wesse, 10 December 2012 - 04:12 PM.
Posted 10 December 2012 - 04:13 PM
At home, yes (much to the annotance of DH who keeps asking me to leave a light on because he is going back in).
At work - no - we have a panel with 4 switches which does our whole floor, so if the boardroom light is out that means some desks are not lit too. I do have a desk light which is on all day once I get in. The bathrooms do have their own light switches but they stay on all day.
Posted 10 December 2012 - 04:13 PM
We had sensor lights installed in our staff room and toilets for this reason.
And yes, I always switch off lights at home when not in use.
Posted 10 December 2012 - 04:16 PM
At home yes but at work no... I work in a small office with 4 other staff.

Like Han Solo in Carbonite
The once in my lifetime ice storm that occurred just pre Christmas 2013 encased our entire Rhodo in a quite thick layer of ice:
And for much of the rest of the winter this same plant experienced temps from -10 F to -15 F (often for days on end).
By coincidence this was the first winter that I did not provide provide protection (a windbreak of burlap).
Now this shrub is by no means an exemplary example of of a rhodo (far from it) but even with all these hardships it has flowered just fine in 2014.
I've kind of come to the conclusion this past winter was hard for people, but that doesn't necessarily translate to a winter tough on plants. My losses were minimal and really nothing out of the ordinary. In fact, the last few weeks I have been amazed at how huge and lush everything is this year. The survivors really didn't seem to suffer that much. In fact, maybe it gave them an incentive to grow like they've never grown before. (I'm sure all the rain has helped, but I don't think it's the only factor at play.)
Kevin, there is no doubt that significant continuing snow cover helped perennials but this wouldn't have been much help to trees and taller shrubs. I am disappointed to have lost the top half of my Acer palmatum 'Filigree Green Lace'. The bottom branches, all insulated with that snow are lush and green and the unprotected upper branches are barren.
I just got your reference to Star Wars, Rouge! One of my favorites. :-) Sorry about your Acer palmatum. I have not grown that type but I thought they were slow growing and the form is of particular interest. So will you be able to salvage it with pruning or do you think it is ruined?

Free yourself from Windows datacenter complexity, suffocating licensing costs and OS sprawl.
Get complete enterprise workload portability from any host, to any host, anywhere while maintaining a consistent application connection endpoint.
DxEnterprise™First-of-Its-Kind Container Management Software for Windows
DH2i's innovative container technology enables workload portability and high availability for any Windows application or service, with native NTFS volumes that follow the workload. Datacenters get application portability, near-zero downtime and ease of management – with cost reductions of 30-60%.
DxEnterprise has the potential to do for Windows in the data center what Docker is doing for Linux.
Simon Bramfitt, Founder and Principal Analyst, Entelechy Associates
Demand application freedom! Our logical containers decouple Windows Server applications from the
OS/IT infrastructure—while maintaining a consistent connection string—to eliminate OS sprawl.
POWERED BY DH2i
IT Lifecycle Maintenance
Typical Datacenters
Typical datacenters spend 70% of budgets and resources on maintenance and only 30% on IT initiatives that drive business value
Powered by DH2i
We give you the agility to simplify maintenance and shrink downtime windows so you can focus your resources on new IT initiatives
A Hands-On Review by Denny Cherry
Hottest New Container Approach to SQL Server Availability
Get superstar consultant and SQL Server MVP Denny Cherry's in-depth review of our Windows container software.
No Matter How It's Deployed

Their Independence Into Action
WSFC smackdown, for the money. A global insurance provider pitted DH2i's platform against Microsoft Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC). After painstaking due-diligence testing, DH2i not only came out on top—we saved the customer $2 million in license costs alone.
Sell mission-critical software to 4,000 lawyers? No worries. With DH2i, one of the world's largest corporate law firms easily exceeds 99.9% SLAs on all SQL Server instances. All that and disaster recovery failover across two datacenters for the firm's 40 million documents.
No more late-night house calls. One of Australia's largest private healthcare providers got the high availability and easy maintenance it needed for its 16+ TBs of medical records data. We preserve 24×7 operations, without the late nights previously needed for failover clusters and VMware patching.

Mike Capuano: Thug 4 Life
"He's a thug, plain and simple," says Pundette, after Massachusetts Democrat Rep. Mike Capuano demonstrated the liberal "New Tone" at a union rally in Boston:
"I'm proud to be here with people who understand that it's more than just sending an email to get you going. Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary," Rep. Mike Capuano (D-Ma.) told a crowd in Boston on Tuesday rallying in solidarity for Wisconsin union members.
Head-busting union goons — like the SEIU thugs who recently roughed up a Tea Party supporter in Denver — are surely grateful to know they have Capuano's enthusiastic support. Because of the decline of union membership, most young people today know little of the coercion, intimidation and outright terrorism by which Big Labor has always operated, and it still goes on to this day. As Karen Kerrigan noted in a 2002 article, "According to the National Institute of Labor Relations Research, there have been over 9,000 reported acts of union violence since 1975. These incidents have included intimidation, sexual and racial harassment, physical violence, vandalism and even death."
Big Labor likes nothing better than having its Democrat buddies in charge, so they can use the force of government to extract money from the pockets of the unwilling:
Unions, most of whose members are public employees, gave Democrats some $400 million in the 2008 election cycle. The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the biggest public employee union, gave Democrats $90 million in the 2010 cycle.
As Mike Hendrix at Cold Fury points out, this creates a "nice, tight, and very vicious little circle": Taxpayers are forced to pay more to government employees, who are in turn forced to pay dues to the unions, which then give money to elect Democrats, who then give generous concessions to unions — and round and round we go!
Da Tech Guy was at the rally in Boston and got this video of a union member who expressed the basic rationale of Big Labor:
"You want to go make seven, eight dollars an hour, go make seven, eight dollars an hour. You know, we fight for what we believe in here so we can make prevailing wage and have benefits."
Implicit in this assertion is the belief that the only way anyone can ever receive higher wages is through the "collective bargaining" (or to say it more honestly, the organized intimidation) power of unions. That this belief system amounts to a license to commit extortion against employers, and an authorization of violence against uncooperative workers, is self-evident.
The labor-union mentality involves a vast galaxy of false and pernicious beliefs that require more time to explain and unravel than I'm willing to devote to the topic here. However, the net effect is to convince workers of their own lack of individual agency, so that they think their working lives have no value except what they can extort through "collective bargaining." Where that mentality can eventually lead may be surmised from Da Tech Guy's Examiner column:
The basic union argument was that Wisconsin was trying to bust unions. A former nonunion ironworker who now was in the union talked about how he found himself protected by the solidarity and the contracts of the union and made a strong case for his side.
On the other side a gentleman from the former Soviet Union equated the union side to the old communist apparatchiks of his youth where the benefits were actually shared by a few.

Britannia Stadium
14:36 9th July 2013
Club dismiss claims that they will take on Italians
STOKE CITY have today dismissed reports that they will take on Bologna in a pre-season game at the Britannia Stadium.
While the Club have lined up a meeting with their Serie A rivals Genoa for Saturday 10th August, reports coming out of Italy claiming that a second game against Bologna will go ahead as part of the pre-season build-up are not the case.
City's Chief Executive Tony Scholes explained: "Bologna were one of the clubs under consideration when we originally announced our intention to stage a pre-season game at the Britannia Stadium, but those plans went no further than that.
"In many respects, we were spoilt for choice by the quality of potential opponents for this game before deciding Genoa were the preferred option."
City's players reported back for pre-season training on Monday at the start of a five week programme which will see them visit a training camp in France and then embark upon a ten-day trip to the United States where they will play three MLS sides.
The game against Genoa is the final fixture of that pre-season schedule, one week before they kick off the new Barclays Premier League season at Liverpool.

Solitaire remains the most-played computer game of all time, and for good reason. Simple rules and straightforward gameplay make it easy to pick up for anyone. Just focus on clearing out of the cards from the table, or try to increase your score to rival your friends. Solitaire has been part of Windows for more than 20 years, and The Microsoft Solitaire Collection makes it the best experience to date with five different card games in one: Klondike This version is the timeless classic that many people just call "Solitaire". Try to clear all the cards from the table using traditional scoring or the popular Vegas scoring system. FreeCell Use four extra cells to move cards around as you try to clear all cards from the table. More strategic than the Klondike version, FreeCell rewards players who think several moves ahead. Spider Eight columns of cards await your attempts to clear them with the fewest moves possible. Start out playing with a single suit until you're comfortable, and then see how you fare when using two or even all four suits in a game. TriPeaks Select cards in a sequence, either up or down, to earn points. How many boards can you clear before you run out of deals? Pyramid Pair two cards that add up to 13 in order to clear them. Try to reach the top of the pyramid. See how high you score in this deceptively simple and highly addictive card game that continues to increase in popularity! Xbox Integration Log in with your Xbox account to earn achievements, compete with your friends, submit your scores to the leaderboards, and track your personal gameplay statistics.

3/27/2015Great collection, but it would be nice if it could remember settings. Every time I play I have to turn the sound down and I keep getting pop up with game instructions when I have been playing for a while.
3/25/2015Just a classic.been playing solitaire since windows 95.thanks Microsoft!
3/25/2015Buggy, batter draining... Please fix the resetting of the settings every time i start playing my game type and settings are reset so I have to start a new game and my win percentage became as low as fifty...
3/25/2015Pretty cool... But it crashes too often and doesn't save the personalized settings. Lumia 1520. In all the phones I ran this game it makes the CPU run very hot. It's been ages since this game got updated. MS give this app some TLC
3/25/2015I like it when it works correctly. But if I rotate it to landscape and back to portrait, the screen goes all crazy and ****** up. I have to exit out and start over.
3/23/2015Very goo but it eats your battery and makes it so hot!
3/23/2015Enjoyed the one-draw Klondike solitaire, but can't find it again. Can't win the three-draw Klondike.
