FY '14 budget full of goodies. And by goodies I mean . . .
A version of this post appeared in the Express-News on Aug. 18. Reading a city budget from beginning to end, I have found, takes focus, perseverance and lots and lots of alcohol.

Watermelon stains?
Anyone have any success getting watermelon stains out of clothing that can't be bleached? I have tried several different detergents, a variety of pre-treatments (Zout, Shout, etc.), and an overnight oxyclean soak. I've tried different water temps, from cold to the hottest my tap can produce (which admittedly isn't very hot, as I have young children in the house, hence the watermelon stains). The stains get a bit lighter but they don't disappear.
Any suggestions?
I swear, next time the kids eat watermelon, they're wearing raincoats!
For fruit juice stains of any kind, I've always used boiling distilled water. Just pour on/through. I just did this with pomegranite stains on white cotton/polyester two days ago (about as bad as it gets) and they came out immediately.
Boiling water, eh? I'll give that a try. Thanks.
I would be extra careful with the boiling water. If the fruit stain contains any sugars, the heat will carmelize the sugar and set the stain making it very difficult if not impossible to remove. A good enzyme pre-soak product should easily remove watermelon.
That is interesting especially with pomegranite. Stranger things have happened, but generally introducing heat initially to many food or protien stains will in fact set the stain. Perhaps you can explain your procedure and the products you are using, because it defies the law of laundry chemistry.
Nothing special. Boiled distilled water and poured directly on the stain. That's it. Quite literally nothing more. No "products" of any kind. Just the boiling water. The stains faded instantly. Were totally gone in less than a minute. I learned from my mother. She did it throughout her life.
I'm not talking about something I think or read. This is something I've done many times -- most recently a couple of days ago.
I'm not a chemist. All I'm saying is it works.
I included a link to this forum in my watermelon posting at askdrmanny.com. Thanks for the tips.
Here is a link that might be useful: Watermelon Days
I have used my mother's advice as the previous person stated to pour boiling water over other fruit juice stains and had great results, but it TOTALLY DID NOT WORK WITH WATERMELON JUICE. I used the boiling water on a fresh, rinsed out, stain I got on a white cotton skirt and now I'll have to resort to using bleach! :-(
I use boiling water on red wine stains and it works like magic. I've been doing that for a couple of years now. Before, my tablecloths were never entirely stain free (the stains would fade over time but not disappear), now no more red wine stains! I haven't tried it on other stains but I would think that other fruit juice stains would react the same as red wine.
I have never had problems getting watermelon out of our clothes. I never even had to pretreat. It just comes out in the wash. That must have been some super duper watermelon.
My problem stains are tomato sauce, some chocolate, and mustard. Those three make me crazy.
Now watch... I just posted this and we have watermelon waiting for consumption in our fridge and I will end up with melons stains that don't come out. LOL
A couple of clarifications would help here:
-contrary to what someone stated above, boiling water cannot caramelize sugar. Sugar can only be caramelized by heat that is substantially higher in temperature than boiling water (at least at sea level). In fact, when you make caramel on your stovetop, you will not begin to get that brownish color until all moisture is gone from the pot.
-typically, it is protein based stains that will "set" when treated with hot water. WHat happens here is not unlike what happens when you boil an egg. Tangly proteins coagulate to form a network. I do not know if watermelon contains protein, but a typical example of this is a blood stain. And everybody knows the best way to get rid of a blood stain is an immediate soaking in cold water.

The 26-year-old claimed Lindsay Lohan was one of the best girls he's ever slept with, Ashlee Simpson was loud in bed and he rated Jennifer Love Hewitt an "eight" out of ten when it came to sex.
However, Valderrama claims he was only messing about to please Stern's listeners.
He says, "This is what I have to say about the Howard Stern thing.
"When you go on Howard you are in his home. And I allowed myself to be playful about a lot of subjects and topics. Eventually such topics were paired up with certain names.
"Obviously, we know the media loves to get a little confirmation of a story line, and that is all they needed and they ran with it. I don't really have a real opinion about it anymore. I am so past it already."
During his appearance on Stern's show, Valderrama also claimed he is "blessed" when it comes to penis size, and he revealed he has videotaped his sexual escapades on numerous occasions, but erased the tapes to keep them from being linked on the internet.

text: Despite having no quorum and no vote, tribal members at the Calista-sponsored Yukon Kuskokwim Governance Convention Monday decided to move ahead with an interim step toward unifying the region politically. Leaders put the future of a proposed regional tribal government first in the hands of tribal councils and set a deadline of 30 days for them to vote. If successful, individual tribal voters would then have the opportunity to vote yes or no on the proposal.

TNT has an excellent doubleheader for us this evening. LeBron James $10500 and Kyrie Irving $8500 take on Chris Paul $9200 and Blake Griffin $9400 in a matchup that's possibly as lucrative in DFS as it is fascinating in real life.
Photo of the Day: Robin Van Dyke Lopez
I hate to put the same guy in the Photo of the Day for two days in a row, but there was nothing I could do today. I had no other choice, and after you see the picture you'll know why. Robin Lopez is once again our chosen athlete for the POTD, but for a good reason.
Photo of the Day: Robin Lopez Excited to Return
The Portland Trail Blazers are starting to fall back in the Western Conference Standings. They now sit No.4 in the playoff seeding, down from the No.2 seed from just a couple of weeks ago. Portland is coming off of a four-game East Coast road trip that was trimmed to three games when their matchup versus the Brooklyn Nets was postponed due to a winter storm. On that trip, the Blazers went 0-3.
Tweet of the Day: Robin Lopez Has A Problem With Selma
The film "Selma", which opened nationally on January 9th, details the Civil Rights efforts of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in the small city of Selma, Alabama, as he and his followers sought voting equality. The movie has achieved critical acclaim, even earning an Oscar nomination for Best Picture. Yet, for all the praise that the film has received, it is not without it's critics — many of whom will cede that the film is good, but point out its failings. Count
New Orleans Pelicans feeling the pressure after losses to Celtics, Sixers, Knicks
The Madison Square crowd was in a frenzy. New Orleans Pelicans head coach Monty Williams had just called a meaningless timeout with 8.1 seconds left and his team down 99-92 to a New York Knicks team that had lost 16 straight games dating back to Dec. 12. New Orleans failed to score after the timeout, and the Knicks won at home for the first time since Nov. 22. A 2-3 road trip against Eastern opponents looks bad enough for a New Orleans Pelicans
Photo of the Day: Happy New Year 2015!
Happy New Year everyone! It's now officially 2015, and hopefully everyone had a safe and happy New Year's celebration last night. It's weird to think it's 2015 already. Let's start the new year off with a few pictures that I found today. It's also College Bowl Season, with the first ever college football playoffs starting on New Year's Day.
Scotto: Greg Monroe to Knicks in '15? Rival Executive Thinks So
Now that Josh Smith is gone, what does the long-term future hold for Greg Monroe? A rival executive believes he will end up with the New York Knicks. "I could see $48 million for four years. I don't think he's a max (contract) guy, but he is pretty good. He might get more based on who is left on the board. I could see New York overpaying him," the executive told SheridanHoops. Monroe has a trade veto after signing his qualifying offer
Tweet of the Day: Robin Lopez Reveals Recovery Plan For Broken Hand
Portland Trail Blazers center Robin Lopez broke his hand in a victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night. It is the first time he'll sit out of an NBA game in nearly three seasons. He is, however, taking the injury in stride. He took to Twitter Tuesday to express his gratitude for all of the well-wishes and prayers and unveiled his plan for recovery.

having bad problem w/maiden grass, please help ny
I dont know too much about this type of amazing looking grass...so if I explain something that does not make sense please ask me again.
The problem: I picked up 4 maiden grasses, that are about 3ft tall. They looked GREAT while in the pots and for a day or so...they looked fine in the ground, but now they are looking like they are about to die and I need some help!
I would have posted a pic but having issue with camera. There was only one tag in the pot that came with the OG and it says they are 'Gracillimus'. The blades are very thin with only 1 white stripe going down the center.
What is happening now, is that the sides of the leaf are rolling into the center and the tips are turning brown and beginning to curl...so it went from a wide, flat thin blade to a very thin round blade and I dont know why.
We live in staten island NY which I was told is zone 6b. I dont know if this is from too much water or not enough water. Does anyone know if the look I described would look the same if it was too much water...or would the blades turn yellow or etc???
Please help...
Hello and thank you.
The roots were bound and tight in the pots and I tried to loosen them up a bit but didnt want to really rip the roots apart.
Is there a way to tell if I'm adding too much water...or would it start to look the same way as before with the curling?
After posting my question, I decided to give it more water and then that night it rained a little bit...and when I looked at them today I could not believe that they looked as if nothing ever happened to them...the tips are not curly anymore....so I guess the water I gave it and the rain helped.
BUT...my problem is how much watering should you do if you have just planted it in the ground?
Also, last question...from what I read on maiden grasses and this type of grass...they like full sun, right? I just want to be clear that the problem I'm having is not also from the sun beating it.
Thanks again so much for all the advice...this forum is the BEST!!!
If the pots were really root bound and tightly packed, best to cut off the bottom inch or so of roots and cut slits into the roots down the sides. Also, when you prepare the soil/hole for planting, really loosen up the soil 1 1/2 to 2 x's the size of the rootball. You want to be sure you're getting water to the roots. When you plant, don't plant any deeper than the existing soil line of the pot...that will help avoid rot problems if water tends to sit in the area or if the soil does not drain well.
Miscanthus likes full sun and deep watering, but let the soil somewhat dry out between waterings. Don't let them sit with their toes wet all the time.
It sounds like the root ball was very pot bound and you're now having trouble getting water to the plant, without the help of a good rain. The first few weeks are the most important as they establish. Don't let them dry out excessively during that time. Once established, they can better handle the occasional dry period, however, frequent summer waterings will keep the grass from getting brown tips.
Grasses are really good at telling you when they're thirsty.
Good luck!
I suggest digging up the plants and ripping the rootballs apart as the previous poster described. They're so root bound they can't spread into your soil and they can't take in water properly.
BTW, with very rare exceptions, whenever the root ball of a plant is bound as you describe, rip it apartbefore planting.

Etruscan Sun porcelain tile: Comments and/or photos?
Central79November 17, 2012
Thinking of using Etruscan Sun porcelain tile by Best Tile (new construction, builder sent us to Best Tile to choose our tile floors) for laundry/mudroom and screen porch. Color we are considering is Nut.
Have a sample of the tile, but have not seen photos of an entire floor done in Nut color Etruscan Sun.
Has anybody used this tile? Comments on it?
Also, would be very helpful if someone could post pictures of a floor done in the tile.

Is there a way write code in web.config file using preprocessed function. Say I created environment variables like %Temp%, %WINDIR%. order to read these I can use the configurationManager class. But I dont want to use it. I woudl like to use a preprocessed function similar to timeStampPattern="{timestamp(local)}". Here timestamp(local) retrieves the value directly. So in a similar way can i read the environment variables %temp% and %windir% using preprocessed function if any exists?

No. There's no way to do this.
Are you looking for Environment.getenvironmentvariable()? You will need to find and replace them yourself.
It can be done.
That is all you need to do: value="${envVarKey}
where envVarKey any environment variable.

When it's time for a mother dog to wean her puppies, she knows what to do naturally. You can help the process along if you need to though. Generally, a mother dog begins to wean her puppies at about three or four weeks of age. Weaning usually ends at about eight weeks, but it is a gradual process over a period of weeks, not an instant removal of nursing.
During the nursing period, the puppies are beginning to learn proper behavior and socialization skills from their mother and through the interactions with their siblings. They also get nurturing and bonding during the nursing period, so they have a sense of belonging. Because a puppy's vision is limited in the first couple weeks, they need to stay close to their mother. Nursing is not only food and nutrition; it provides a sense of security for the puppies.

Sapphire Energy's 'green crude' farm comes online
- Staff Portland Business Journal
Sapphire Energy's commercial algae crude oil farm came online Monday in southern New Mexico after 14 months of construction.
When completed, the project, now in a commercial demonstration phase, will have 300 acres of algae cultivation. Sapphire has developed a process to turn algae into crude oil, which can be used in many of the ways drilled oil can be used.
"What was once a concept is now a reality and model for growing algae to make a renewable crude oil for energy," Cynthia "CJ" Warner, CEO and chairman of Sapphire, said in a news release.
With only sunlight and carbon dioxide, Sapphire Energy is turning algae into renewable, low-carbon "green crude". Sapphire has already developed technology to produce transportation fuels, including 91-octane gasoline, 89-cetane diesel and jet fuel. By 2014, the facility hopes to produce 100 barrels of green crude per day. The average production of an oil well in Texas is fewer than nine barrels per day.

We Tell the Financial Regulators: Don't Let Big Banks Make Taxpayer-Backed Bets
Last night, U.S. PIRG and the AFL-CIO joined Americans for Financial Reform in a detailed comment letter urging issuance of a strong Volcker rule by the financial regulators. It's a 72-page pdf comment letter that basically comes down to one simple thing. We tell the financial regulators: don't let big banks make taxpayer-backed bets. The rule implements Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as proposed by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker and implemented into law by the consumer and investor champions, Senators Jeff Merkley (OR) and Carl Levin (MI).
Excerpt from our joint letter:
There are significant positive elements in this proposed rule. But it still falls well short of fully implementing the statute. It is clear from both the legislative history and the text of the statute that in passing the Volcker Rule Congress sought fundamental change in the American financial system by restoring basic firewalls between the banking system and the capital markets. In the proposed rule, the regulators have not placed the statutorily required limitations on permitted capital market activities. Instead, they have gone to some effort to preserve business as usual in important areas. This includes practices at the center of the financial crisis, such as dealing in illiquid and customized products for which no market exists and bank participation in securitizations. The metrics-based oversight regime favored by the regulators here, while positive in many respects, simply will not work unless it is accompanied by clear restrictions on the scope of permitted activities.

Not sure on this one , I have a feeling it will be either really good or really bad... what do you guys think?!

|I can't wait for the movie with Steve Carell funny he is.
Who will play larrabe?
As a Steve Carrell fan, I have high hopes, but at the same time I am apprehensive. From what I've read, the producers are going a "Johnny English" route and making Max into a real buffoon...an "agent-in-training" who is recruited by 99. Now, Max on the show was goofy, but he was a competent agent. He certainly wasn't stupid. After all, KAOS always tried to assassinate him! Max made mistakes, but it was still recognized that he was a good agent.
Maybe this is wrong...I hope it is! But I think if they try to turn this into an "idiot saves the day" comedy, it won't work, and it won't be true to the spirit of the show. I do, however, have to give the producers a lot of credit. Carrell, Anne Hathaway, Terrence Stamp, Alan Arkin...they've assembled a strong cast. Let's hope the material is equal to their talents!
Has anyone seen the trailer yet? It's available online at Yahoo Movies.
It's a short teaser, but I like what I see.
I have seen the trailer, I'm still not sure how I feel about it though lol. It looks decent but at the same time since the "trailer" is more of a teaser its quite difficult to tell which route they will take with it....
only one way to find out! lol
There is a lot of information on the movie at http://www.wouldyoubelieve.com/movie.html
Unfortunately, it says that while the cast is good the script is not. The page has a list of reasons why not and even an early copy of the script.
Yeah, the initial script review I read a while back did not give me much confidence. But I do think Steve Carrell is watchable in whatever he does (he was the best thing about Dan in Real Life)...I think he could be a perfect Maxwell Smart if he's given the right script. Too bad that sounds like it's not going to happen.
It's kind of baffling to me that movies based on great TV shows usually wind up as botched movies. Get Smart is, in my opinion, one of the best comedies in TV history but it doesn't get the love it deserves. And certainly this movie is shaping up to not be the best source of goodwill for the series and its legacy.
The international trailer is up, and it has raised my hopes for this movie. Even though it's short, it's got some great bits from the show. Shoe phone, "The old...trick," "Missed it by THAT much!"
|antdude wrote:
|During the 80th Academy Awards, they showed Steve Carrell and the woman (forgot her name) coming down to announce the nominees and winner for the category (forgot which one). It had Get Smart song too.
Check out the website & movie trailer:
Hymie appears at the end, doesn't play an important in this one.
I liked the movie, only real complaint was Seigfried was a little OOC with his seriousness. He is a much more darker character in the movie than on the series.
If and when they do a seqeul I hope Seigfried returns, but other villains appear as well like the Clow or Claw (I forget) and have the villains be an alliance, or just have them be unrelated to the main plot and have Seigfried be the villain in the main plot.
Also the movie didn't have any female KAOS agents, the sequel should use at least one evil girl, the show had memorable episodes with the evil girls.

11 Warning Signs Of A Problem Designer Or Web Developer
This is a hard one for me to write, because IŌĆÖve been at this over 40 years, and the mistakes IŌĆÖve made! IŌĆÖve probably made (and still make) many of the mistakes below, and IŌĆÖve paid the price for it by losing clients. It wouldnŌĆÖt surprise me if some former (and even current clients) nudged me and said, ŌĆ£Hey, you missed a few.ŌĆØ
- The designer (letŌĆÖs just use this for our all-encompassing term) works without a net. IŌĆÖll cover this more in another blog post, but what this means is a contract that spells out the expectations for the designer and the client, including payment terms. Copyright law says the designer has to release copyright (they can sell all rights or just some rights), usually in writing, to the client, or they continue to own it, since it belonged to them from the moment of creation. Most clients donŌĆÖt like this, and I have no desire to track usage, so I just release all rights available for me to release upon final payment.
- No portfolio, no website. In this technological age, IŌĆÖm conflicted as to whether or not I should keep my portfolio of hard samples of projects ŌĆō I havenŌĆÖt dragged the black portfolio out of the closet in over a year ŌĆō but if a person is a web designer or even graphic designer, there is absolutely no excuse for not having a website with their portfolio on it. ItŌĆÖs hard to keep up with it when the designer is slammed with work ŌĆō mine is still under my old business name (blush) but being worked on. No, really. Even if the designer isn't web-savvy, WordPress has plenty of gallery/portfolio type templates, free and premium, that they can use to build a site.
- Poor or no communication. Just as I complained in my ŌĆ£15 Warnings Signs Of A Problem ClientŌĆØ blog post about clients not communicating, itŌĆÖs unacceptable for the designer not to communicate. They should return phone calls and emails as soon as possible. If a deadline needs to be delayed, they should be on the phone immediately to discuss it with the client. This is especially critical when the clientsŌĆÖ domain is expiring and the client canŌĆÖt contact the designer. The domain registrar will not even talk to the client if they donŌĆÖt have the correct information, and the domain could be lost forever.
- Bad referrals. Ask people in your business community who they use for certain services, and ask whom to avoid. See if you can find out why they should be avoided, because the other person may have had unreasonable expectations. One person posted some crazy review of me on Google Local that made him seem unhinged. I was a little unhinged myself, wondering who I could have treated so poorly that they would write something like that! My current clients posted several glowing reviews. So maybe I wasnŌĆÖt such an awful person after all.
- Arrogant, rude jerk. If the person comes across as a thoughtless, ungrateful, SUPER busy, overimportant, impatient, arrogant, ŌĆ£my-way-or-the-highway-I-am-the-designerŌĆØ prima donna, thatŌĆÖs probably not going to be someone youŌĆÖll want to interact with over the course of your project. I know a few like this. I donŌĆÖt know how they stay in business. If IŌĆÖm ever this way, I hope someone smacks me upside the head.
- Poor grammar. When you are a graphic designer or web designer/developer, you work with text. ItŌĆÖs a sad fact that too many kids are graduating from high school and college without the ability to spell, form a sentence, or punctuate. Everyone makes mistakes, but if you canŌĆÖt keep an eye on the content your client sends you and clean it up for them (let them know, first), you need to find someone to do the job. Print is forever, and even mistakes on a website make your client look bad and incompetent (it makes you look incompetent, too).
- Lack of attention to detail. ItŌĆÖs not just a matter of grammar. It could be as simple as using the right or wrong logo, or not paying attention to the branding manual, or putting the wrong personŌĆÖs name in a photo caption. ItŌĆÖs making sure that, on a website, every link works and displays correctly. If you look at a designerŌĆÖs work and see problems, ask about them, because they could mean problems for your project. Lesson learned the hard way: When you and the designer are going to be choosing colors, make sure they bring a color chip book or fan, and both of you sign off on what colors are chosen. My personal mantra: ŌĆ£Bring the color chip book or die.ŌĆØ Cost me thousands of dollars to have the job reprinted (it was the right thing to do, even though the client didnŌĆÖt know what color they were asking for), and I lost the client anyway.
- DoesnŌĆÖt understand what a deadline is. If the conference is on October 15, and you need brochures, business cards, and your site launched before that day, itŌĆÖs not good if the brochures are delivered on the 16th, and the website isnŌĆÖt launched for another month (unless you didnŌĆÖt get the developer content in the first place).
- Inappropriately dressed. IŌĆÖm old-fashioned, and even though IŌĆÖm an artiste, I try to show up to a client visit looking business-like, because this is a business transaction. I'm not necessarily talking about suits (I don't own one), but I also make sure my clothes arenŌĆÖt coming apart and stained. If your business is casual and you donŌĆÖt care if the designer shows up in shorts and flip-flops, more power to you. If youŌĆÖre all in suits, maybe the designer should dress up a little for you, and find out first. It's often not to difficult to deduce from the type of business you're in, but when in doubt, they should dress up, not down.
- Takes off for extended periods of time. A local printer made a habit during the recession of closing for several weeks at a time during the summer and Christmas break. How would I tell a client on a deadline that the printer was closed for a month or so??? We all need to take vacations, but designers can check their messages and return calls and emails while theyŌĆÖre gone.
- Holding domains hostage. If your web developer is self-employed, and theyŌĆÖre a domain name reseller, what is their plan B if they get hit by a truck? What if you decide to go with another developer? Can you still access your account? Some resellers and web designers put the domains in their own names. That means they own it. Tsk-tsk. Whose business is it? Yours.
What a warning sign isnŌĆÖt
An answering machine. The CompletHost site mentioned that an answering machine was a warning sign. I donŌĆÖt see why, as long as messages are returned promptly. I know of offices that take off for lunch and all you get is an answering machine.
Executive suite conference room. Even if you meet at Starbucks, think of it this way: Lower overhead (no expensive office) can mean much lower prices for your project.
There is no perfect designer, or perfect client, but these should be a good road map to finding a designer you can work with in your successful business for years to come.

Rolling Stones channel King Kong for album pre-order push
By Sarah Shearman, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 20 September 2012 11:58AM
The Rolling Stones' 50th anniversary 'Grrr!' greatest hits album is to be promoted with augmented reality that features a virtual gorilla hanging from famous landmarks including Big Ben and the Sydney Opera House.
From today, Rolling Stones fans can download a dedicated iPhone app that superimposes the gorilla onto their screens when they point their smartphone at one of 3,000 landmarks in 50 cities around the world.
Landmarks include The Empire State Building and Toyko's SkyTree.
The gorilla image is based on the album artwork and features the band's signature red tongue hanging from its mouth.
Universal Music has partnered with augmented reality specialist Aurasma for the global activity. The app also allows users to pre-order the album ahead of its launch next month.
Users are being encouraged to take photos of the gorilla animations and share them on Twitter, Facebook and the band's fan site. The 50 best submissions will each win a prize.
Deborah Hyacinth, vice president of digital marketing at Universal Music Group, said: "This pioneering use of mobile technology extends The Rolling Stones' reputation for innovation and imagination."Follow @shearmans

Smaug and Friends: Dragons in Literature
It's been over a decade since Peter Jackson released his blockbuster film adaptation of The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Then in 2012, the first installment of Jackson's three-film treatment of The Hobbit, called An Unexpected Journey, hit the theaters, followed last year by part two, The Desolation of Smaug. And now, at long last, the third and final piece of the puzzle is here. The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies brings Bilbo's big screen story to an end next week. Which means we get to hear more of Benedict Cumberbatch's voice through the throat of Smaug.
Everyone always mentions Bilbo Baggins of course, but there's no denying to me that Smaug was the true star of The Hobbit.
Dragons are often portrayed in literature as charming, charismatic – and dangerous. Smaug is no exception. Hardened (both emotionally and physically!) from centuries spent sleeping atop a pile of treasure, Smaug is a formidable foe for Bilbo, Thorin and company, and even survives a dip in a pool of molten gold.
Not all dragons in literature are the enemy, however. Christopher Paolini's Inheritance trilogy features Saphira, a wise, loyal dragon, who while capable of great violence, is entirely devoted to her human companion. There are all kinds of dragons. Not all breathe fire. Some talk. Some have four legs, other, earlier incarnations like wyverns have two, or none. It's wonderful that a creature borne of human imagination has earned such a place in our stories and hearts. Read here about more dragons in literature.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A voluntary evacuation of about 50 homes near a burning biodiesel facility in north Mississippi was ordered late Wednesday, officials said.
Explosion caused fire at Miss. biodiesel plant
The fire began with an early Wednesday explosion, according to authorities, who said no injuries have been reported and the cause remains under investigation.
The evacuation was ordered after winds began shifting smoke from the blaze and heavy smoke began to accumulate on the ground, said Union County Emergency Management Director Curt Clayton.
Clayton said a shelter has been set up at Victory Life Center in New Albany for those needing it.
Meanwhile, officials planned to let the fire at North Mississippi Biodiesel near New Albany burn out, a process they said could go into the night.
Two workers escaped without injuries at the time of the explosion near New Albany about 6 a.m., Clayton said. He said there was a second, though smaller, blast Wednesday afternoon.
The explosion and fire shut down a highway, damaged a power substation that knocked out electricity to parts of Tippah County, and caused the evacuation of one home and two industrial businesses, authorities said.
The company makes biodiesel fuel, and that is what is believed to be on fire, Clayton said.
The blaze has died down some, "but it's still big enough that we're not sending anybody up there," Clayton said.
David L. Franks, listed as North Mississippi Biodiesel's vice president in documents filed with the Mississippi Secretary of State's office, declined to answer any questions when contacted Wednesday by The Associated Press. The company was incorporated in 2005, according to the secretary of state's records.

Kata Blessing Scarf
Roll over image to zoom in
Give a colorful blessing to friends or family with purity of heart. The purchase of our white Kata Blessing Scarf brings peace and solemnity into your life, but, more importantly, it benefits refugee Buddhist nuns living in Tibet. The Tibetan Nuns Project provides education and support for nearly 600 nuns in northern India, including improvements in standards of food, sanitation, and medical care. Each scarf is is blessed by the nuns of the Dolma Ling Nunnery.
- Viscose
- Blue: Approximately 59" x 13" (1.5 m x 33 cm)
- White: Approximately 51.5" x 10.5" (130.8 x 26.7 cm)
- Edges left raw
- Handmade in & fairly traded from Nepal
In Tibetan culture, the Kata Blessing Scarf serves a variety of ceremonial purposes. Given to family and loved ones when they arrive for a visit or from long travels, they are also given when the loved one departs, asking for a blessing of safe journey. It may hold similar significance for you -- or perhaps find its way as a decorative accent for sacred pictures and objects around the home.

January 15, 2015 - Got lots of compliments on it! Love the blue color! The only problem, which is minor, is the edge, not being hemmed, catches on things.
December 14, 2014 - Size is different than shown. Fabric is incredibly thin. The design is pretty & if they donate money to the nuns, I am okay with that.
November 18, 2014 - I got white one - it is very 'dressy' - haven't worn it yet, but I LOVE it !
November 17, 2014 - I'm glad it helped the nuns
June 23, 2014 - I think is has a poor fabric quality & in the display it looks wider and longer than actual size
Artisan: Dolma Ling Nunnery
Dharmasala, India is home to the Tibetan government in exile, as well as the Dolma Ling Nunnery -- a refuge for Tibetan Buddhist nuns living in exile. Run by the sister-in-law of the Dali Lama as part of the Tibetan Nuns Project, it provides humanitarian support and education for hundreds of nuns living in exile from their homeland. There, the nuns produce beaded necklaces and prayer flags in a time-honored manner, blessing the items before sending them out into the world.
Founded in 1987 to provide humanitarian aid and an education to refugee Buddhist nuns, the project began as a response to 66 nuns who found themselves ill and exhausted with nowhere to go after a two year pilgrimage over the Himalayas from eastern Tibet. Emergency assistance was provided to meet their basic needs, but more was needed, and the Tibetan Nuns Project began actively seeking a more long-term solution for the problems of secure housing, medical care, and education. A sponsorship program was created which reached out to individuals and organizations around the world, supplementing the income-generating projects that the nuns themselves have instituted.
Now joined by five other nunneries as part of the Tibetan Nuns Project, the refugee nuns at Dolma Ling are able to work on mission with a sense of security and hope. This includes improving standards of living, a self-sufficient future through education and training, training for leadership and service roles within the community, improving the level and status of ordained Buddhist women in their culture, assisting recently arrived refugee nuns from Tibet, and the continued establishment of further facilities for nuns in need.

The empty spaghetti sauce jar after a recent dinner inspired Katie at Little House of Four to start a quick project. Looking at the jar, she realized that it would be just right for storing all of the pocket change she finds while doing laundry.
Laundry Room Tip Jar
Upcycled Cardboard Make a Great Earring Display
Over at Blah to Tada, Claire came up with an inexpensive and eye catching way to display earrings. It's a great idea for anyone who sells jewelry–especially if they want to keep their expenses down at craft fairs and other venues, since it starts with a very easy-to-find material: cardboard.
Salvaged Chairs to Family Bench
Over at My Repurposed Life, Mindi of My Love 2 Create put together an amazing piece of furniture, using chairs that she found on the curb during her city's spring clean up. The chairs were in bad shape, with ugly upholstery and a broken spindle or two.
DIY Painted Area Rug
At Upcycled Treasures, Katie had fabric medium in her craft stash that she'd purchased for a craft project and didn't use. So, when she came across a fantastic looking area rug that she couldn't afford, Katie had a light-bulb moment. Why couldn't she make a rug?
Tube Television Turned Dog House
"I got this old TV for free at a yard sale, " says Shanna of Restoration Redoux. "My hubby didn't understand why we were bringing home something that ugly or heavy." We rescuers are evil geniuses with plans up our sleeves all the time, are we not?
Wood Crate Upcycled to Silverware Caddy
"I found this abandoned little wood crate in the middle of a K-mart parking lot," says Stacey at Addison Meadows Lane. She had been wanting a silverware caddy forever, so Stacey knew exactly what she could do with the crate and snatched it up immediately.
Dollar Store Find Becomes Stylish Swim Cover-Up
Michelle, who blogs at A Little Tipsy, admits that she's the girl who buys a 5XL t-shirt from the dollar store because she likes the color. (I'm with you, Michelle!) After a fruitless search for a cute, short-sleeve swim cover-up, she realized that the oversized aqua dollar store t-shirt could be refashioned into just what she'd been looking for.
Garden Bench Rescued from the Forest
"This old bench was rescued from the back of my mom's flower garden right before it completely slipped away into the forest never to be seen again!" says Amy at Joyful Daisy. "I am truly amazed what an afternoon with spray paint can do."
