1.3 million Americans are about to lose a vital lifeline of unemployment insurance benefits if Congress doesn't act. This is money that helps pay the bills while folks work hard to find their next job.

The economy is finishing 2013 in a stronger place than where it began the year, though more work remains to grow the economy, create jobs, and strengthen the middle class. This is especially notable given the general fiscal environment, including the onset of the sequester in March, and the government shutdown and debt limit brinksmanship in October. The recent budget bill passed by Congress on a bipartisan basis will contribute to certainty, a better fiscal stance over the next year, and more funding for the critical ingredients of longer run growth.Read More

DEFINITION of 'Reversible Swap'
An exchange of cash flows that allows one counterparty to use a swaption to switch the payor and payee of the fixed and floating rate income streams. The counterparty who is making fixed payments and receiving floating payments would begin receiving fixed payments and making floating payments, and vice versa. A reversible swap consists of an interest-rate swap plus a swaption for two times the notional principal amount of the interest-rate swap. If the notional principal amount of the interest-rate swap was $100,000, the swaption would be for $200,000.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Reversible Swap'
Reversible swaps are a type of interest rate swap. They allow investors to hedge against or speculate on possible changes in interest rates. One situation when a reversible swap would be desirable is when political instability makes interest rates especially unpredictable. Other types of financial instruments investors might use to manage interest-rate risk include plain vanilla swaps, constant maturity swaps, airbag swaps, forward rate agreements and many others.

With the fundraiser for TLC's final album now sitting at over $250,000 ($100k more than the set target), the legendary group are piecing together their dream-team to produce it.

With the fundraiser for TLC's final album now sitting at over $250,000 ($100k more than the set target), the legendary group are piecing together their dream-team to produce it.
Find out who they've recruited thus far below…
TLC have done it.
The legendary R&B group have once again defied the odds – this time with the fundraising campaign for their final studio album.
Details below…
The Generous Chanteuse might be one moniker fit for Pop princess Katy Perry this year, set to fit her just fine after it's emerged she donated a four figure sum to a business venture launched by 'Dear Lie' girl group TLC.
Full story below…
Are TLC re-moulding the game for independent artists? It could certainly be argued so.
During their heyday, the group were hailed as innovators and trailblazers. And, against the odds, it appears they're reminding the naysayers why they enjoy such status.
As widely reported, the trio's surviving members T-Boz 'Tionne' Watkins and Rozonda 'Chilli' Thomas launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds to facilitate the recording of their fourth and final album.
With a set target of $150,000 and 30 days to reach it, the ladies appealed to fans to "become part of the process" by donating and giving incentives such as fitness classes with Chilli and trips to the movies with T-Boz.
Shade as some may, it's working. Because less than two days since going live, the campaign is fast approaching its target total.
Details below…
As top-selling girl group TLC readies a new album of hopeful hits to perform alongside their already envied catalogue, the duo took to 'Good Morning America' to officially announce a joint tour with fellow 90s hitmakers New Kids on the Block and rapper Nelly.
Blasting off on May 1 in Las Vegas, the 47-date Stateside trek will see the trio of acts touch every corner of the U.S and wrap on July 2 in Buffalo, NY.
"It's going to be one big, huge, massive party," said Joey McIntyre of NKOTB. "That's a lot of hit records in one night. I'm excited."
Alot of hits indeed. Look below to hear TLC dish on the upcoming tour:
'Waterfalls' singers TLC have been receiving showers of kindness from their fans.
For, less than 24-hours after the fundraising campaign for their "final album" went live, the group have raked in a third of their requested total.
Details below…
TLC's status as one of the greatest girl-groups of all-time is undeniable.
However, disaster, dodgy decisions, and dodgier business deals have plagued the trio from their debut right up until today.
It's an unfortunate trajectory for a Grammy winning ensemble, yet one that continues to be the reality of TLC.
Because, in a shocking move, today has seen surviving members Tionne 'T-Boz' Watkins and Rozonda 'Chilli' Thomas launch a Kickstarter campaign which asks fans to help them fund the recording of their final album.

33 year old man | Playa del Rey, CA, USA | Seeking women 25-32 within 30 miles
More than just an option
I love to be creative, have great conversation, and experience new things. My job affords me a lot of flexibility, so I try to make the most of that by traveling and exploring the LA area. I'm a big USC football fan (wish this season could have been better) and love going to games with friends and family. I come from a close Italian family, and yes, we tend to talk with our hands and take forever to say goodbye but always have a great time. I like being active (going to the gym regularly, running on the beach, hiking, did a half marathon) and doing things, but also enjoy relaxing, enjoying a bottle of wine (preferably a red) and staying in to watch a movie or have a TV marathon. I recently got back from my first cruise and while it rocked back and forth a bit too much for my taste, it was a lot of fun and a great way to celebrate being 30 with a couple dozen friends. While I have my things that I like doing a lot (concerts, Vegas, Santa Barbara, San Diego), it's always enjoyable to try something new and random, especially if it leads to a great story. Even a four hour layover in the Nashville airport turned into a great experience and only furthers the inspiration to keep traveling (New Orleans and a proper trip to Nashville besides the airport are next on my list). I'm looking for a woman who is fun, upbeat and up for anything; someone who can talk about mundane and deeper things during the course of the same conversation.

I love music and attending concerts. I enjoy trying out new restaurants and bars, going to sporting events and doing outdoorsy things, going to the beach, bar trivia nights, karaoke, and unique, random and "only in LA" types of things.

"I was sitting down and I got weak in the chair," Greene said Wednesday afternoon in a telephone interview from his home outside Dallas, describing the way he felt when he was told his No. 75 jersey was going to be retired.
Greene, a member of the Steelers organization for 27 years as a player, coach and scout, understood the significance of the honour.
For 50 years, Ernie Stautner, a defensive tackle like Greene, had been the only Steelers player to have his jersey number (70) retired. That was done at Pitt Stadium in 1964.
Greene's No. 75 will officially be retired Nov. 2 when the Steelers play host to the Baltimore Ravens at Heinz Field, the Rooneys announced Wednesday.
"I feel so wonderful," Greene said. "I was flabbergasted when Dan and Art mentioned it to me. I know what it means to the Steelers when they do something of this magnitude. I say that because they haven't done it in a long time.
"It is so special. When I think of my associations with the Steelers over the years, it's as a player and the Super Bowls, it's as a coach and it's as a scout and then of course the Hall of Fame. Now having my No. 75 retired is another milestone in my career as a Pittsburgh Steeler. I was so proud to be a Steeler and continue to be a Steeler."
Art Rooney said he had wanted to retire Greene's number for years, but the concern always was the number of other jerseys that would have to be retired because there were so many Steelers greats from the 1970s.
Rooney said decisions on other players will be made in the future, but he said Greene deserved to be the first of the Super Bowl team members of the 1970s to receive the honour.
"We decided now was the time," Rooney said. "We don't have to decide who is next. Joe is the obvious person from the '70s team to go first. We're excited to honour him and his many contributions to the Steelers."
Greene played from 1969 until 1981 and was a driving force behind the team's march to four Super Bowl victories in a six-year span from 1975-80. Many consider Greene to be the greatest Steelers player. He was a 10-time Pro Bowler and was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1987.
"I don't think it was a difficult decision at all, because it was Joe Greene," Dan Rooney said. "It was not a difficult decision as far as we were concerned because of what Joe was. This doesn't take anything away from Ernie. Joe is something special. What he did, the way he acted. He is much deserving of this honour.
"I think this is a tremendous thing to do. Joe was the cornerstone to the team. Chuck Noll came and the first pick he made was Joe. Joe had a great determination to win. He pushed everyone in the organization."
Greene was the Steelers' No. 1 draft choice in 1969. He was voted the rookie of the year and made the first of 10 consecutive trips to the Pro Bowl. After his playing career, Greene coached for the Steelers from 1987-91 and later served nine years as a Steelers scout.
Greene, 67, said his Hall of Fame career would not have been possible if not for the Rooney family and Noll, who died this year.
"I was fortunate enough to have a great ownership group and Chuck," Greene said. "Being in that group of men, that is what made it all possible. I was in Pittsburgh in 1969 and I saw what it was to be a Steeler at that time. I saw and lived what happened. When Dan took over and Chuck came in, everything changed. This is a signature thing for me, but I cannot stand alone without the people who impacted my life so much."
Greene said he chose the Ravens game for the ceremony because they are the team's biggest rival.
"Probably because they have emerged as the No. 1 antagonist," Greene said, laughing. "During my days it was Cleveland and then it was Cincinnati and then Houston. It's been the Ravens for a while. I did it knowing that it's going to be a hotly contested game."
The Steelers had not issued Greene's No. 75 to any of their players since he retired. Other numbers the team does not issue include Terry Bradshaw's No. 12, Franco Harris' No. 32, Mike Webster's No. 52, Jack Lambert's No. 58 and Jack Ham's No. 59.
"That was the hesitation for a long time," Art Rooney said.
"If we started down this road, where do we stop? Are there enough numbers to go around for all the guys who deserve to maybe have their numbers retired? The decision we made was we'll make the decisions one at a time and not decide about any other jerseys at this point."

Quentin Tarantino Honored by Rome Film Festival
ROME – Quentin Tarantino stopped in Rome Friday to receive a special lifetime achievement award from the International Rome Film Festival and to present his latest film, Django Unchained, which is screening for the first time outside of North America.
In addition to Tarantino, the movie's stars Jamie Foxx and Christoph Waltz -- who is from Vienna, just 500 miles north of Rome -- were on hand for the premiere. They were joined by Franco Nero, a Rome resident and the star of the original Django, and Ennio Morricone, the five-time Oscar-winning composer whose music is closely tied with the Spaghetti Western genre. Morricone was scheduled to present Tarantino with the award.
It is significant -- though not a surprise -- that the film's first stop outside North America is in Italy: the film was inspired by Sergio Corbucci's 1966 Italy-made Spaghetti Western classic Django, while Nero, the hero of the original film, has a cameo role in Tarantino's production.
Furthermore, Tarantino is connected with Marco Mueller, the former Venice Film Festival artistic director now in his first year at the helm of the Rome festival. Mueller selected Tarantino as head of the main Venice jury in 2010. Also, the film's Italian distributor, Warner Bros-Italia, was previously led by Paolo Ferrari, now the president of the Rome festival. Plus, the head of Rome's press office is doubling as the lead press officer for the film.
There had been a great deal of speculation that Django Unchained would screen at the seventh edition of the Rome festival, which ended Nov. 7, but the film was not completed in time for that.
Django Unchained has performed strongly since premiering in the U.S. and Canada on Dec. 25. It remains to be seen if it can repeat that success abroad: Tarantino is popular in Europe, but westerns have had uneven receptions in Europe in the past, and the film's racial and historical references could fail to resonate in Europe.
Django Unchained will go into wide distribution in Italy Jan. 17.

Any Shipments Yet?
I only placed an order to Bluestone this year, which I am anxiously awaiting. I had a gift certificate to White Flower Farm, but haven't ordered anything yet because for the past two years, they shipped way too early for me.
Has anyone here gotten a shipment yet? Where from? What's in it? Have you been able to plant yet?
I got my first shipment today, from Witherspoon Roses...Honey Dijon, Intrigue and Brandy...I did do some planting on Tuesday, three other roses which I purchased locally.
I have three more rose orders coming and two perennial orders, all this month, or very early next!
Stark Brothers sent fruit trees two weeks ago and I planted them. I received the Raintree Nursery order yesterday and about have it done, raspberries, and chestnut trees. My local 4-H delivered strawberries and they are in the ground too.
i received a shipment about 4 weeks ago from spring hill nursery. i received carnations, foxglove, columbine, coreopsis, trumpet vine. all were planted within a week and are doing very well. 2 weeks ago i received 12 bamboo from tradewinds nursery and planted them the day they arrived: 5 sasa palmata, 5 pseudosasa japonica and 2 ph. bissetti. all are doing well except for the palmata. they require shade until they adjust, but there isn't enough tree foliage.
I received my order of daylilies from Oakes on Friday. They arrived in great shape, and the fans are huge as usual, and there were two bonus plants sent also. We had a beautiful day for planting today, but because of my dear brother-in-law's funeral and much needed time with the family, they will be planted on Monday. There are four more orders of daylilies from other vendors to follow.
Happy gardening. Jane
I received a shipment from Springhill Nurseries on Monday. 3 russian sage, 3 fountain grass and 5 hosta.
In addition to these plants, I have 12 perenniels I bought last year when Frank's Nursery and Craft's went out of business. $.50 a piece and all survived the winter in my garage--veronicas, yarrow, columbines, butterfly bush, and one unidentified (hey it was 50 cents--couldn't resist!).
Plus I have evening primrose and white iris divisions from a co-worker. Needless to say, I will have a busy next couple of weeks!
But thank goodness spring is FINALLY here!
I couldn't wait and went to a nursery outside D. C. to get 21 rose bushes. However, I received two mail shipments too: a Scentimental and Sunsprite from Edmunds last week; a Radiant Perfume and a Tuscan Sun from Jackson & Perkins yesterday, and next week my Just Joey, Honey Dijon, and George Burns from Rosemania are to be shipped.
I hope to put the Radiant Perfume and Tuscan Sun in the ground within the hour.

Lion goes to an out-of-home concept with digital at its core.
Cannes, France-- A campaign pairing Bing with the launch of Jay-Z's autobiography "Decoded" has won a Grand Prix Lion in the Outdoor category, in the first of what could be many Lions for the Droga5-created effort this week.
While "Decode Jay-Z With Bing" was based on an out-of-home concept, its entry point and much of the experience played out online.
Each of the book's 320 pages was printed and installed in a different spot across 13 major cities. Locations were selected based on the content of each page, so that a section dealing with Brooklyn would be installed in that borough, UK in London, and so on. They appeared on media as varied as rooftops, bus stops, a Cadillac, leather jacket linings, and restaurant plates.
Droga5 then created a race of sorts, seeding clues about the location of pages on Twitter, radio, and Facebook. Users were driven to bing.com/jayz, where they used Bing search to decipher successive clues that led them to a specific location. Using Bing Maps, players were told precisely where the page was. The first fans on the scene texted a code to expose the page to the whole community.
Over one month in October and November 2010, Droga5 seeded 400 clues, exposing 5 to 10 pages of the book per day. By month's end players had assembled the entire book online before it hit stores.
The campaign drove an 11.7 percent increase in visits to Bing while it was live, according to Microsoft's internal numbers. Average engagement per player topped 11 minutes. While the campaign was live, Jay-Z grew his Facebook "likes" by 1 million.

NJ Man Arrested For Shooting Backyard Squirrels
I feel like setting up a legal defense fund for him.
And by the way, my Kania is working well!
Here is a link that might be useful: NJ Man Arrested For Shooting Backyard Squirrels
Um, yeah, words escape me regarding the folly of this. What a waste of taxpayer dollars prosecuting someone for "squirrel cruelty". It probably wasn't particularly cruel, as he shot them and it was probably fast.
The real moral -- be very discrete in dealing with issues of this sort. You never know who is watching in today's society.
Here's some 80's musical paranoia you can dance to. Michael and Jermaine Jackson do background vocals.
Here is a link that might be useful: Rockwell, 'Somebody's Watching Me'
I live in NJ, and this story has been all over the news. It's a bit gruesome how he hung them from his fence, but I don't blame him for shooting them. Those damn things are everywhere here, and are quite the nuisance. They destroyed every bird feeder I have ever tried to hang up in my back yard. Though, it's our overpopulation that is reall the root cause, they simply have nowhere to go, just like the deer here. We continue to develop the land they live on, and then blame them for eating the stuff growing in our back yard.
Idiots all the way around. Why he hung them up is beyond me. No corpses no case. Of course there's always a strong possibility a neighbor will consider this cruelty.
Where I live squirrels are a game animal so the state doesn't want you shooting them out of season and without getting their cut. Fees are another word for taxes but aren't termed as such so the politicians love them.
They really aren't being displaced by human intrusion, since they are just as home in your attic as they are in a tree cavity, and just as prolific. The forests of America are now larger than they were in 1900 since modern agriculture has centralised operations. If you were the only human within ten square miles, would they still be a pest. Yes. When the territories were being settled you had to pay a bounty of squirrel scalps as well as money for tax. They are so at home around humans, they're practically domesticated.
Animal cruelty? If this man is guilty, then we had better shut down every slaughterhouse in the country. In our state squirrel are considered game, and fried squirrel and gravy is a real treat if you have never tried it. I can see them be protected under game laws, but shooting a squirrel called cruelty? Get real. His display offended somebody's sensibilities. You are not allowed to offend anyone anymore, and the next thing you know mouse traps will be illegal.
Squirrels are like other species of animal. They are probably doing better with humans around. Food year round, not as many things trying to eat them. once they enter my garden it's turns into a nuisance. Peels my corn like a bannana and eats it. The guy should of buried it or compost it.
Maybe the squirrels arenot being displaced, but the deer and bears definetly are. And that may be true about the forest overall, but is certainly not the case in NJ. If there is a patch of trees, you can be certain a developer will come along and cut it down, replace it with cookie cutter homes, and then name all the streets in the development after either the trees they just cut down, the wildlife that used to live those amongst those trees, or after native American tribes that once inhabited the area lol...
Oh I understand that. But we were talking squirrels, and grey squirrels in particular, and they are not displace but attracted by human habitation and activities. They are overtaking and predominating other species, particularly outside the U.S. where somebody thought it was a good idea to introduce them. There are good laws and there are silly laws. I can understand them being protected as a game species. I could understand intervention if somebody was torturing them for the fun of it. I can understand if shooting a firearm in a populated area was the issue. I cannot understand how dispatching a destructive rodent qualifies as cruelty, even though I don't participate in killing them. I enjoy them and we even feed them to watch their antics. But I don't pretend to think I should dictate my ethics on other people who don't see it that way when it comes to a rodent.
I think the law against (or hope I should say) shooting squirrels (or anything in a suburb) are really to protect the people in the community. You can see there is a house right behind his fence. You don't want people shooting guns towards your shared fence, a stray bullet could hit your property or you!
Animal cruelty would be a strange charge. What about mouse traps and the like? Are they okay with that?
A couple of years ago a man who wrote a column for the NY Times was asked by a reader what she should do about a neighbor of her elderly mother who looked out for her mom but drowned squirrels that "trespassed" into his orchard. The columnist urged the reader to turn the man in for animal cruelty no matter how nice he treated her mother.
I wrote him explaining that drowning was a reasonably humane way of dispatching this vermin as they drown in just a few seconds and that the man was protecting his food. He answered me with some silliness about the squirrel having a different point of view and never responded when I compared the squirrels to his city rats.
Modern existence has most people living very far away from nature so they have no clue about the real meaning of survival and the competition that's involved.
When you choose to care for an orchard you enter the real world- our true homeland- but a foreign country to most of us.
Thanks for posting Milehigh.
I was struck by the phoniness of it all. The mayor said he wants to send a message "not to take matters into one's own hands" that he should have called animal control officers.
That makes for good sound bites (after all who hasn't heard from youth not to take the law in our own hands). But do they really expect animal control officers to set and monitor traps for nuisance squirrel complaints? I expect the animal control experts would only recommend exclusion as a remedy. Exclusion can be expensive measures if there is a heavy population of squirrels with lots of large overhead trees. Squirrels can chew through wood siding.
The other day I was speaking with someone who had experienced squirrels in his attic. His neighbor was currently dealing with the same problem. The damage (urine, chewed wires and insulation) was extensive. His kids have started shooting the squirrels.
I can understand if they city had an ordinance against BB guns, as some cities do to prevent vandalism. If that were the case, they should have cited the squirrel hunter with discharging a BB gun.
LOL.....that's about the gist of it. I have had crop damage in a greenhouse caused by chipmunks. They're cute little rodents too. The value of the crops they ruined would hit four figures at the retail level. One year they managed to unearth and then bury thousands of newly sown tomato seeds into pots of geraniums. I was able to salvage the geraniums, but had to purchase more seeds for the vegetable crop and then weed the emerging tomato plants out of all the geraniums pots. Don't even go there with damage to corn seedlings. Hundreds of oak and buckeye seedlings chewed off at soil level when they went for the still clinging nut, consumed it and left the plant severed in the pots seperated from its root system. Or the mice who get into the chicken shed to chew holes in the feed containers and spread their germs and feces around. No, I did not trap or poison or shoot them. I installed a barn cat into the operation. Then I get critised for not keeping kitty in the house and letting it 'roam free'. LOL
Hah, olpea, I caught the same silly statement by the mayor. Can you imagine calling animal control over squirrels?!? They'd think it was a prank call. Here in San Diego county, and I believe the entire state of California, ground squirrels (our nemesis here) are considered "pests". If you trap them, you MUST dispatch with them. In fact, if you are caught trapping and releasing, you will be fined. And the fine is no small chump change. They don't want you to create a pest issue for someone else. Bamboo has it right - the three "S's". For me, it's the 3 "P's" - Poison, Plant (I bury the dead squirrels), and Party (as I then get to actually eat my fruit).
Patty S.
Here in Ohio they recently changed the laws regarding squirrels. Squirrels are now treated like nuisance raccoons: you can trap them and then destroy them humanely. They can be released on someone else's property only with permission. Seems silly, though, that you have to trap, then shoot. Why not just shoot?
Yeah, I've got no sympathy at all for squirrels. Red squirrels did several hundred dollars damage to the wiring on a Chevy truck I used to own in the course of a weekend. I parked on Friday after work in my driveway, on Sunday the darn thing wouldn't do anything when I turned the key. I popped the hood to find a mess of fiberglass insulation torn from the underside of the hood (for whatever reason, Chevy insulated the hoods on the late 1980's model S10's) and chewed wires, all mixed with leaves from the nearby maple tree. It had made a cozy little sleeping nest in there.
Several years later, squirrels stuffed the ventilation system in my Chevy Tracker with walnuts -- it wasn't covered under my warranty since it wasn't GM's fault, and the quote to correct it was about $1000.
I used to trap the squirrels with 2 hava-hart traps and take them for a long ride (5 miles) to re-locate.
Last year I was spoiled as my neighbor was unemployed and handy with the air rifle (he is a fire arms instrutor).
Now he has a job so back to trapping.
Poison? About 10 years ago when liquid Diazinon was available I jokingly suggested to a friend to lace peanut
butter with Diazinon and spread it on the pine cones in his yard. Just a joke, but they did it! They went on a
2 day vacation afterwards and came home to find dead squirrels all over the yard!
I don't advocate poison but just telling the true story as
you all know how frustrating it is to find the squirrels
taking your fruit.
I will go back to trapping.
"If you build it, they will come" - From that crappy Kevin Cosner movie....
Its true when It comes to our gardens. You plant a cherry, birds strip it. You plant a block of roses, aphids come. IT just so happens that squirrels eat most of the same stuff we do. They are one of the most successful and impotiant species in a forest. They spread seeds around to ensure a proper distance for trees to help genetic diversity.
If something is actually a problem, rather then just "walking in your yard", sure, you may have to do something. Unfortunately, this isnt the middle ages, and displaying your kill in your front yard isnt the best idea.
Now, a funny thing. IF this were stray cats or dogs, there would be a larger uproar, rather then just "a squirrel"...
Just sayin..............
A good number of years ago, where my family was from, it was commonplace to shoot woodchucks and hang them on the roadside signs, guard rails, etc.
I can see this opening a HUGE can of worms. Squirrels damaged my chevy truck. I was not allowed to stop them, as I did not want to take the law into my own hands. Pay up mayor...
Ernie, I beg to differ. Drowning is quick. Shooting you may wound the animal. I think drowning a coon is cruel because the animal suffers for quite a while before dying but a squirrel is so high metabolism it perishes in a few seconds. A high speed pellet to the brain brings a very quick and merciful death to a trapped coon but trapped squirrels are hard to kill with a single pellet.
If you've never dealt with the dispatching of vermin you probably can't say what is the most merciful technique. What nature has in store for most of us (including squirrels) is much crueler that dunking a squirrel in water.
D-Con rat pellets mixed 50-50 with peanut butter. Neighbor put in new lawn and tree rats kept digging in it. So he made them dinner every other night for a few weeks. They went extinct for a few years in our area. He dares them to return.
Hard man. Nice lawn.
I got 3 squirrels right away with my Kania and then all of a sudden they were all gone. I had counted at least 10 juveniles at one time while I sat on my porch one day. I couldn't figure out where they went; for one whole day I saw no squirrels. It turns out that my neighbor, upon hearing my thoughts on squirrels, decided it was safe for him to do them in. He said in two days he trapped and shot 11 of them! Guess who will be getting some peaches from me this year!
He deserves a defense fund with the "animal cruelty" charge. However hunting out of season without a license or using a possibly illegal weapon (when I lived in NJ you needed a license to own a BB gun) could be indefensible charges.
His main crime when disobeying improper laws was to not follow all three of the S's. Shoot, Shovel, Shut-up.
I found my city has squirrels as protected species. Odd since they keep annexing rural lands where hunting is otherwise legal. I've been tempted to call them to take care of their squirrels or pay for the damage.
melikeeatplants, it's a BB gun. Although if I could use my 223 there would be no issue with stray bullets. I have a squirrel load where nothing solid exits and it is extremely accurate. It would just be a bit loud for neighborhood shooting.
Ernie, It's for all the varmint's relatives to see what happens to trespassers and looters. I was thinking of doing it with racoons, but ...
But the real intention, is sensationalism. People sometimes do things to see how others react. They get a kick out of seeing people glance with puzzled looks and having an approach-me-not display. Imagine all the impressions they can make, especially upon the little ones when they say to teach other, "I hope our ball doesn't end up in his yard."
hahaha time for some coffee
I've heard 100 times that the best way to keep crows out of your garden/field is to hang a dead crow up. A neighbor, where he plants his sweet corn, hangs up triangles of black plastic to imitate dead crows. I even knew someone to kill an old hen, spray paint it black, and hang it up in his garden.
If someone suggested it could work with squirrels, why not try it (apart from mayors, police, etc. that live in consumerist bubbles)?
Floyd, I have not found squirrels to care about their dead brethren, I would shoot one and the squirrel right next to it would keep on feeding. But right now I have three dead squirrels I shot with my pellet gun that I have not gotten around to picking up yet, and their now-stinking bodies seem to be keeping the herd of their brothers and sisters away from whats left of my peaches. So, I don't think dummy squirrels would work, but bottled dead-squirrel-stink might. I am going to keep these dead guys there for now.
I posted an answer yesterday to your qeustion but I do not see it so here it is again.
I bait my trap with unsalted peanuts in the shell. It works good on squirrel. The only issue is sometimes chipmunks raid the bait without setting off my trap. I suppose they are too light to set off the trip pan on my trap. I guess salted peanuts would work too, but I like to eat unsalted ones better. Whatever I do not use for bait, I then get to eat once my peach season is over.

Moving and concerned about moving plants..
Hi, I'm moving and was wondering what suggestions you all might have to safely move a nearly 6 ft. tall Bay Leaf (not sure what the 'real' name is) and a 6.5 ft. Norfolk Pine. They've grown a lot in the 4 years I've been here and when I moved to where I am now it was possible for me to put them in the back of the station wagon. No longer! Would it be possible for me to move them on their side? Moving 50 miles away and it's a straight shot on the interstate so there wouldn't be a lot of moving around.
I would take them out of the pot and wrap the root ball up in a couple layers of plastic, like garbage bags or something like that. then you don't need to worry about soil getting all over your car. You'll still need to prop up the plants by the stem so the branches don't break off. Maybe some flat cardboard boxes will work for that, something that can reach the stem between the branches will be necessary.
Don't need to take them out of pots. You can use scrunched up newspaper to surround the trunk of the plants on top of the soil, even bubble wrap. Then tape it down a few times across with packing tape. Put the whole pot into a garbage bag and if you are still concerned about spillage twist the ends of the bags at a couple of points and tape down again.
That takes care of the pot end.
For the growing end, it depends on what vehicle you are intending to use. and how much other stuff you have in there that might damage the leaves etc.
If, for example, you were thinking of strapping to a roof rack, well you'd position the pot at the front of the car and try to wrap the rest in as much bubble wrap as yu could afford.
If inside - like in the boot (trunk?) and then laying some seats forward, you just need to cushion the plant with bubble wrap, blankets, whatever works to stop it bouncing around. Seatbelts can work for plants, too!

Rated 5 out of 5 by AAnderson91 from Classy and fun! I wanted to upgrade my daughter's room when we moved into our new house. On her first birthday, we had lots of friends and family wanting to see her new nursery. I was so excited to show it off!The sheet set is super comfy and my daughter loves sleeping with the blanket it came with. Highly recommend this set!

Rated 5 out of 5 by lakegirl from Beautiful I bought this for my Granddaughter's nursery. The fabric is great quality and beautiful. The only surprise was that the accent color was more lime green than yellow as it appeared on my computer screen. Land of Nod has excellent service. I forgot to order gift wrapping and called back immediately. Although the order could not be changed they had a store send me the boxes, tissue and ribbon!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Boston_mom from Gorgeous & unique nursery bedding! I bought this entire purple mosaic crib bedding set recently and am so happy with the products! The color is beautiful -- a nice warm purple that goes well with lighter purples (lavenders) and neutral colors. It makes the nursery feel so welcoming. Even my husband, who is not at all into design, went out of his way to tell me how pretty and inviting the room looks. The quality of the cotton is excellent, and I expect this set to last for years to come. At the sale prices, this set is truly a bargain!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lindsaycsc from Love love it! I just want to say that I am so glad I stumbled upon Land of Nod. I was searching/google-ing and etsy-ing for crib linens and couldn't find anything that I fell in love with. Was very close to paying 250$ on etsy for custom crib linens which only include a skirt, bumper (which is highly NOT recommended), and a sheet. So I fell in love with this pattern and even better the skirt is reversible and you can mix and match the sheet patterns/colors etc. Also love the fact you can buy or not buy all the different pieces in the set. I bought the lavender skirt, the pink sheet, and pink changing pad cover. They are beautiful and good quality material, especially for the price! Screw etsy prices.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Carly from Everyone needs some lavender in their life! Since my daughter was born 13 mths ago I have been trying to find her lavender bedding, so I was so excited to find the new mosaic lavender collection. I purchased the two sided (bonus!) crib skirt and paired it the singing forest crib sheet for a really fun, lavender inspired look. I love that the bed skirt gives two looks and that the sheet offers endless color palette options (i'm always re-decorating). Aside from the fabulous colors they feel great for sleeping, I want some for my bed!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Sunshine Mom from Pretty, but difficult color to match This bedding is very pretty. I chose the lavender. However the purple color is very muted, which makes matching it to other lavenders for curtains, lamps or any other decor or accessories very difficult. I'm going to use yellow on the walls and match the color at Lowe's for a lavender accent wall, but just beware the color is nice, but not the same as many traditional lavenders.

Australian PM Abbott to meet Indonesian president as tensions ease
Published on Jun 2, 2014 8:25 PM
JAKARTA (REUTERS) - Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono will meet Australia's prime minister on Wednesday, Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa said on Monday, a sign of eased relations between the neighbours.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott's visit will be the first since late last year, when often tense relations hit a new low over media revelations that Australia had spied on top Indonesian officials, including the president and his wife.
"The meeting will give a chance to both leaders to review the status of the relationship at this time," Dr Natalegawa told reporters. "The ball is in Australia's court to exlain the problem of wiretapping and asylum seekers."
Ties have also been strained over the handling of asylum seekers who attempt to sail to Australia via Indonesia. Australia has started implementing a "turn back the boats", towing back to Indonesia often leaky vessels carrying asylum seekers, a practice Dr Natalegawa criticises as "unhelpful".

Metallica Add Dates, Reunite With Jason Newsted for Rock Hall Performance
Everybody now: "Die! By my hand!"
By Tom Breihan on March 26, 2009 at 2:20 p.m. EDT
Photo by Tom Breihan
One of the best things about Metallica's utterly ripping secret/not-secret SXSW show (crowd pictured above) was the way they treated Stubb's, an extremely small venue by Metallica standards, like it was an actual arena. Stubb's is an outdoor barbecue joint with a capacity of about 3000, but that did not stop one of the world's biggest bands from blazing through an hour and a half of their classics, delivering all their gloriously over-the-top stage-banter ("Are you ah-liiive?"), and dumping a cup of beer on my head (Lars). Even better: The crowd treated it like an arena show, too, belting all the big lines right back at the band and generally acting like a way rowdier bunch of motherfuckers than you usually find at music-biz conferences.
So it would follow that the only thing better than seeing Metallica play a pretend arena show would be seeing them play an actual arena show. They are in rare form right now, pulling at least half their set lists from their bloodthirsty first three albums and generally knowing and caring why people like them. The band will spend their spring and summer in Europe, playing some shows with couldn't-be-more-perfect openers Mastodon. And when they make it back to North America this fall, you might owe it to yourself to check them out.
Until that time, though, you'll have to make do with pretending to be Kirk Hammet in front of your TV. "Guitar Hero: Metallica" drops on March 29 and looks pretty sick, Foo Fighters inclusion notwithstanding.
Also, the band will enter the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 4. Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers will induct them. And as Hammet told Rolling Stone, the band will reunite with former bassist Jason Newsted at the ceremony. If they're in a hatchet-burying mood, maybe they'll holler at Dave Mustaine, too.
