2004 Election Results
By Ronald W. Hull
Rated "G" by the Author.
This is from my friend, Donna Kilgore Kimble. Donna is an English professor and poet. For those that think that the silent majority has spoken, I suggest that you read her words very carefully.
I learned much from this election:
1. We are a stupid, unread, gullible people, and rural, uninformed masses are able to dictate what the educated masses must do.
2. We are so small-minded that, even faced with the truth, we would rather stick with our prejudices than change our choice of candidate or party.
3. We consider a person who thinks a problem out and changes his mind weaker than one who stubbornly follows the wrong path.
4. The American media has been compromised to the point that it reiterates right-wing spin and has no plan to seek the truth, half-tells it, or lies by omission.
5. The people who are most likely to be hurt by this administration's policies are the ones who most arduously support them.
6. Complaints about disenfranchisement, dirty tricks, and scandals have no effect on this country.
7. Dirty tactics are rewarded. From small groups controlling textbooks in the classroom, to awarding of contracts, to Supreme Court positions, minorities and the poor are null and void.
8. People who don't go to war or even report for duty can ridicule and sully the reputation of those who do and send other young people off to war.
Folks, I am sitting out the next four years. However, the same thing may happen then. What I am finding interesting is that many articles now are coming out that the voting machine tallies do not match the exit polls, and since no paper trail can confirm, this is now being called voter-gate. I wonder if any more of this will come to light. We should be afraid, verrrrrrry afraid!

The Macallan Masters of Taste
Behind the scenes at El Celler De Can Roca
As the setting for our Masters of Taste Ultimate Dinners we thought it only fair to give you a sneak peek behind the scenes, so step inside El Celler de Can Roca and join us for a tour of the Roca brothers' culinary playground...
Snugly hidden in a suburban neighbourhood in Girona, the World's Best Restaurant sits proudly. Upon entering the courtyard you are instantly awed by the mix of Catalan meets modern elegance and a sense of calm overcomes you...
The decor is crisp white and fresh, divided by glass walls that make the eye travel far. Overlooking operations is the traditional home of Joan Roca with his dog, a regular voyeur from the house's balcony.
Inside the silent cellar sleeps over 60,000 bottles and sommelier Josep Roca stands guard. One could get lost in the cavernous cellar studying their rows and rows of fine wines, whiskies and spirits – or maybe that's wishful thinking on our part?
Journey into the kitchen and your senses come alive – this is where the Rocas' gastronomic imaginations are brought to life and you witness true masters at work. In every corner of the kitchen there are elements of culinary genius, from a machine distilling mountain earth to a chef creating cloud like foam. Joan, Josep and Jordi are inspirational; world-class innovators whose commitment to their craft is exceptional.
The Roca Brothers have used all their senses to interpret the essence of The Macallan and create The Ultimate Dinner. Our collaboration will break down classic perceptions of food pairing and enter into a whole new, awe-inspiring world of taste and flavour experience. Guests at our Ultimate Dinner will have the opportunity to visit the kitchen and the cellar, as well as enjoy 14 courses paired with 14 whiskies, many of them never released. For a sneak peek, watch the making of The Ultimate Dinner in this exclusive video here.
The restaurant will open exclusively for these dinners, for more information on booking The Ultimate Dinner with The Macallan and Roca please visit www.themacallan.com, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call +34 93 222 4995 (from 9am-6pm GMT).

TrekLit Recommendations/Opinions
I've been thinking about slowly getting some of the Trek books I'm not familiar with, mostly from near the end/after the numbered book era. There is a lot of them, so (while I may be opening myself up to some cheap shots) I'd honestly like to know some recommendations and opinions.
First off, I've done some looking on my own, and my personal list of books I'm looking closest at is:
New Frontier (Hardcover collection of first 4 New frontier Books)
Have Tech Will Travel (Collection of first 4 SCE stories)
Lives of Dax
Hollow Men
The Never Ending Sacrifice
Tales of the Dominion War
Ex Machina
Constellations anthology
The Buried Age
The Sundered
I'm curious what people think of these books. I'm also open to recommendations. I'd prefer books that aren't part of a specific mini-series, duology or trilogy. I know I have Harbinger on there, which is the beginning of a 7 or so book series, but I mostly don't want books that have a story that I need to get the other books immediately to get a whole individual story. Its the difference between a mini series like The Fall and one story spread over two books like Avatar (which I intend to get eventually but isn't on the list right now since I'm looking for more individual stories right now). I could read any of The Fall or typhoon Pact books and at least get an individual story, even if its events interconnect with the other books in the series.
When it comes to TrekLit, I actually like a lot of different stories (Believe it or not :vulcan: ). I'm a fan of TNG/DS9 about equally, I like TOS fairly well and I like Voyager well enough, and some of my favorite books weren't focused on any of the TV shows at all. I'm also a huge Q fan (which I mention specifically because he's a big enough character to have gotten a good amount of books, and I probably haven't heard of them all).
Also, I've read most of the newer books from the last year or two through the library, so if it came out from about 2011-now I'm probably aware of it.
The only thing off limits as suggestions would be
USS Titan books
Section 31 books
Enterprise Relaunch (the books are still a bit pricey, and my knowledge of Enterprise is just ok, probably making the books a bit hard to get into)
I've looked around for opinions, but I figured a thread would help me see how the books I've been looking at specifically are thought of by people currently, and there are so many books out there I've probably overlooked some good ones that deserve to be on my list of potential future purchases (I didn't even know about a good amount of the books on my list before browsing the Charting the Novelverse thread earlier today).
Re: TrekLit Recommendations/Opinions
I would recommend first and foremost from your list of possible choices The Buried Age. It's technically a Lost Era book, though, so I don't know if that will work against it. I heartedly recommend it either way. Early TNG will make so much sense when you watch it with this story in mind. As a prequel to TNG it's really well conceived, and it's one of the best Picard books out there. Also it features Picard's first encounter with Data, which is surely a scene any TNG fan needs to read (even more so because it's such a well-written piece).
If not, my second recommendation from the list is The Never-Ending Sacrifice, which retells the entire Cardassian story arc from DS9 in a beautiful and intelligent way, and really effortlessly sews events together into something very emotionally provocative. Someone once described it as the closest we've come to a Dickensian Trek book, too, which is a description I quite like.
Re: TrekLit Recommendations/Opinions
Both of those books definitely sound good. Also, I removed the "no Lost Era" thing from the first post, because it looks like those books are less connected than I thought (some place I read seemed to imply the Lost Era Novels all went together). I realised that The Buried Age was Lost Era, and when I looked at the list most of the books don't seem to connect to each other, except for those two books with the Enterprise that existed inbetween A and C that I won't mention :lol: I also added The Sundered to the list because it seems like a cool Sulu-Excelsior book and I've liked the few books I've read that focus on Sulu as Captain of the Excelsior.
Re: TrekLit Recommendations/Opinions
My favorites from your list are The Buried Age, Ex Machina, Harbinger and Q&A. Tales of The Dominion War was also pretty good. I've heard great things about Never Ending Sacrifice, but have not read it yet.
Re: TrekLit Recommendations/Opinions
Here's a quick run-down of your list and some thoughts on the ones I've read:
New Frontier (Hardcover collection of first 4 New frontier Books)
NFR is what I consider "light" reading; it's very different in tone from all the other series. I don't remember the first few stories that well, only that they were a bit short compared to the later installments. Getting the collection would be a good way to test if the series is for you though, without having to track down the individual novels. I'd put this down as a maybe.
Have Tech Will Travel (Collection of first 4 SCE stories)
These give a decent intro into the SCE series. I took some time warming to the short story format, but the SCE crew holds some great characters and its "conundrum-of-the-week" format might fit better into your "no series" preference than its NFR equivalent does. While these are not SCE's strongest stories IMO, it's definately fun.
Lives of Dax
A bit average. I generally found the stories a bit light, likely due to their limited length. A must if you're a Dax fan though.
Hollow Men
Una McCormack has written some of my favorite Trek novels, but this is not one of them. Again, a bit average for me, I felt the buildup failed to deliver a good ending. Will definately fit your "standalone" criteria, and if you like Garak, Sisko and/or intrigue stories, you might like it.
The Never Ending Sacrifice
Got some nice reviews on the board, but I've not got round to it yet.
Tales of the Dominion War
I'd not recommend this for you, largely because of the stories within that derive from novel-only series. Enjoyable, if a bit of a mixed bag. The only story I remember fondly is Mirror Eyes, the story about a Romulan infiltrator on DS9.
The first three or so books of Vanguard are just pure awesome (not that the rest is ever bad). If you do decide to take a chance on a series, I'd recommend this over all the other ones, save perhaps the DS9 relaunch. Can be read solo, but I fear you'll end up wanting to get Summon the Thunder ASAP after finishing it. :)
Ex Machina, Constellations anthology
Not read these.
A lighthearted, but highly enjoyable novel. It has the disadvantage of being sandwiched between two novels that I will charitably call "bland" and "disaster", but don't let that put you off. Largely a Picard story, I think it can be read solo even if you're not entirely up to speed on the preceding stories in the TNG Relaunch. Probably my favorite TNG Relaunch story of the ones set before Destiny. Also a must for a Q fan.
The Buried Age
Likely my favorite novel of the ones you've listed. Excellent candidate, as it's both standalone and yet integral to the backstory of Picard "before TNG". Also just a very epic story.
The Sundered
Not my favorite Lost Era book, but decent read all the same and like all Lost Era books also standalone. Definately recommended if you like Sulu and/or Tholians.
Some other books that are standalone that I highly enjoyed:
- DTI: Watching the Clock
- Lost Era: Serpents Among the Ruins
- Lost Era: The Art of the Impossible
- TNG: Diplomatic Implausibility (this functions as the prequel to the short Gorkon/KE series, but is mainly a Worf-after-DS9 tale)
Re: TrekLit Recommendations/Opinions
Not to toot my own horn or anything, but to toot my own horn for a moment, if you consider yourself a Q fan, you really really should read Q & A. Trust me. :D
Re: TrekLit Recommendations/Opinions
My first purchase ended up being The Buried Age. It was a hard choice, but a story about a post Stargazer/Pre-Enterprise Picard sounded cool, and it's apparently well liked. I'm hoping to get more books as I get the funds, so I still appreciate opinions and recommendations. There are a lot of cool sounding Star Trek books out there that I've missed.
Re: TrekLit Recommendations/Opinions
New Frontier & Q&A are the best of your list that I've read.
Other then that it's kinda hard to suggest without knowing how much you've read. The Final Reflection, Q-Squared & Federation are probably the best Trek books available. Here's some of my favourites from the last time this came up:
Re: TrekLit Recommendations/Opinions
The Never-Ending Sacrifice is possibly the best Trek novel ever written. One of the few Trek novels that I think almost any reader of science fiction or fiction in general without prior knowledge of any Star Trek series could pick up and enjoy. Your knowledge of DS9 and Cardassian society will only deepen your appreciation for this one.
Q & A is a fun Q story which ties together most, if not all, of the Q episodes. While the story is big in scope, the writing is very in line with the general semi-serious, semi-humorous tome of the best Q episodes.
Ex Machina If you enjoy TOS and are curious about what happened after TMP, this book gives a nice sense of what a TV series or movie sequel to TMP might have been like.
Re: TrekLit Recommendations/Opinions
I think A Time to Kill/A Time to Heal are an awesome pair of books.
Re: TrekLit Recommendations/Opinions
Re: TrekLit Recommendations/Opinions
The Never Ending Sacrifice is my next purchase. It's gotten some interesting praise, and its a different series than The Buried Age, so there is some variety. I've ordered them from Amazon, so hopefully both of them will arrive before too long. I'm still open to recommendations and opinions, since I still plan to get some more books as I get some extra money.
Re: TrekLit Recommendations/Opinions
Being a TOS fan, I really enjoyed Ex Machina.
Re: TrekLit Recommendations/Opinions
I got the books I ordered (The Buried age and The Never Ending Sacrifice). I've started reading TNES. I'm still pretty early in, but its good so far, although
I question the decision to make Sisko responsible for the deportation. Last time I checked, being the emissary did not make his director of the Bajoran Child Protective Services. Also, taking a child away from the only parents he remembers just because you found his birth dad is extremely screwed up, regardless of the hand wave "explanation" of people bad mouthing his adopted dad. It would have made more sense if it had been a Bajoran bureaucrat/politician who had a thing against cardassian adoptees in general or the family in particular.
Now, I'm just wondering why Sisko hates adopted families, and is willing to break them up and ruin peoples lives without seemingly caring about what the teen or his adopted family want or just their side of the story at all. It doesn't seem in character for sisko, who as a Dad (and an "enlightened" human) should recognition adopted families as just as legitimate and I don't think would ever do what he did. Still, I'm liking the premise of the book, and its been good so far. I just think that the author could have found a better reason to get the teen to his biological Dad that didn't involve Sisko being out of character (and an ass). I don't think this will effect my opinion of the book, its just a part of the story that I don't think quite works with Sisko's character
Re: TrekLit Recommendations/Opinions
I'd also recommend Forged in Fire (Captain Sulu) and Once Burned (Mackenzie Calhoun).

Tie Ying Ma, Economist at DBS, says the central bank has indicated that it will tolerate low consumer inflation data as a temporary phenomenon.» Read More
Japanese retail sales rose 1.1 percent in March from a year earlier, government data showed on Monday, matching economists' median forecast.
Panasonic maker Matsushita Electric Industrial and Sanyo Electric may tie up in the first reorganisation move among Japan's top electronics makers, the Yomiuri newspaperreported on Monday, but the two companies quickly rejected the report.
A bounce in the U.S. dollar lifted some Asian stock markets on Friday, while crude oil sank further from its recent $120 a barrel record, dragging energy firms down but boosting airline counters. Japan finished at a two-month high.
Asian stocks were mixed in the afternoon session Thursday with Japan and Australia closing lower. But the Shanghai market took centerstage, surging as much as 9.5 percent at one point after a stamp duty tax cut gave flagging Chinese stocks a boost.
Mobile phone maker Sony Ericsson posted sharply lower profits on Wednesday as a slowdown in consumer spending hit its business, but earnings were at the high end of the firm's range and exceeded market expectations.
Asian markets were stronger Wednesday, shrugging off the burden of near $120-a-barrel oil and a record high euro, to continue a rally that has recovered all the ground lost last month. Shanghai surged over 4 percent, while Australia gained 1.6 percent.
Japan's exports in March rose less than expected from a year earlier, suggesting that companies are starting to feel the pinch from a slowing U.S. economy.
There is a fondness and attraction to Cadillac, Buick and Chevrolet that is helping GM make headway in China.
Asian markets came under pressure on Tuesday after U.S. stocks pulled in a mixed performance. Investors sold financials following weak earnings from Bank of America.
Talk about coming of age. The Beijing Auto Show and China's auto market are making a statement this week. It's loud and clear: "We are world players!" In fact, it brings up the question about whether this show and the Chinese market are bigger than the Detroit Show and U.S. Market?
Asian stocks rose to their highest level in seven weeks on Monday, as investors cheered upbeat earnings from U.S. bellwethers which triggered a rally in U.S. stocks last Friday.
Asian markets eked out some gains Friday. Stocks spent the better part of the session dipping below and above the line. Japan and South Korea pulled ahead at the close, finishing higher, but China and Australia closed weaker.
Bank of Japan Governor Masaaki Shirakawa said on Friday that the economy was slowing due to rising energy and raw materials costs, but he maintained that it would likely pick up gradually.
Asian stock indexes made firm gains Thursday, with the exception of the Shanghai Composite Index, boosted by financial and technology stocks with Japan, South Korea and Australia all closing stronger.
Asian markets moved forward Wednesday, with high-tech exporters buoyed by a reassuring outlook from industry leader Intel and energy shares underpinned by record high oil prices. Japan and Australia both closed over 1 percent higher
Asian markets wavered between losses and gains Tuesday, but closed broadly higher, as oil and gold prices gained. The U.S. dollar struggled to attract buyers due to signs of a weak earnings season for banks, which could expose yet more subprime losses and punish stocks worldwide.
Asian markets dropped sharply Monday as a nasty earnings surprise from General Electric and a 26-year low in U.S. consumer sentiment drowned out the Group of Seven nation's support for the U.S. dollar. Japan shed 3% while China was down over 5%.
When I heard that Toyota is finally getting into the sports car business two thoughts jumped into my head. First: it's about time. Second: those who accuse me of fawning all over the Japanese automaker will have a field day.
Asian stocks rose Friday, with Japan's Nikkei closing almost 3 percent higher, led by chipmakers on expectations a slump in the sector may soon end, while oil prices retreated after testing a record high above $112 a barrel.
Japanese annual wholesale inflation hit a 27-year high in March, squeezing businesses as they struggle to pass on higher prices for fuel and other raw materials to their customers.

WANTED: Ruby Glo, Alata, or Whatever You Call It.
My Ruby Glow vine totally died,all 100 feet of it. I have spent nearly $45 on tiny cuttings from Ebay,and all have died.
I am so desperate for this vine. some call it Ruby Glo, others, Ruby Glow, other Alata. The huge red heavy flower that is just fantastic. does anyone have any rooted cuttings,bigger than a 4in stick with 2 leaves, that would be willing to trade to me. I have nothing at the moment to trade...except maybe postage and a little more. I am trying to not get this posting booted off. I just need this vine so badly. I cant find it on EBay,they all die and for the price, it is unreal! I miss my vine...anyone have some rooted vine for a fellow passion vine lover?
You might check your local home depot- Last time I was in the one in Chico they had about 15 of them.
If they don't have one at the moment maybe they can order one for you.
I'd just make you a cutting of mine but simply haven't had much luck getting the thing to root.
I bought P. alata seeds off Ebay last January from josam5. They were very inexpensive and easier to germinate than any other Passie seed I've tried. They produced numerous, huge vines outdoors here in Indiana which grew between 10-25 feet at least. I wish I had rooted some when I had to cut them all back to bring them in this September, but was very busy at the time. Otherwise, I'd be happy to trade. All I can advise is trying to get them going from seed. Good luck!

Basic Transcription Assistant
Closed - This job posting has been filled.
Job Description
I am looking for a reliable Transcription Assistant to convert dictated audio files into Microsoft Word documents.
This will be an ongoing role with 2-4 tasks per week. Each audio recording will be between 5 and 10 minutes. So it should take around 30 minutes to transcribe the files and supply. Basic grammatical improvements will need to be made to the dictated audio so a good grasp on the English language is important.
Audio files will be supplied via email in AMR format (you can use VLC Media Player for playback).
It's a very simple, straightforward job that will be easy for anyone with experience in this role.

Organize My Clutter projects with client permission.
Are you BURIED in CLUTTER, UNFINISHED PROJECTS, and YEARS of ACCUMULATION and wish for a more organized life?
Are you OVERWHELMED, FRUSTRATED, and don't know WHERE TO START, and always asking, "How
do you get organized?"
you repeatedly said, "Help me declutter" to friends, family, and loved ones, only to find frequent delays and broken
If you're feeling
DISORGANIZED and HELP-LESS, be comforted by knowing you are not alone.
You need more than ORGANIZATIONAL TIPS.
You need SOLUTIONS.
You need AN EXTRA HAND!
Sometimes, life just takes
over. Life happens.
Major life transitions are a natural part of everyone's lives. Marriage, kids, career change, relocation,
renovations, downsizing, aging parents, and the loss of loved ones are things we should expect but often are unprepared
for. When these life transitions happen, priorities change, and some things need to be put on hold. After the
transition has passed, you may become aware of the clutter and disorganization which accumulated due to lack of time to maintain
it. This physical and emotional clutter can be daunting and often ignored because you simply don't know where to
begin. You may look around your home and think, "I need to organize this," but overwhelm stops you in
your tracks and still, life must go on. So when life takes over and you feel you've lost control, know you
are not alone, and we are here to help you gain an organized life once again. The DeClutter Crew
from Organize My Clutter will never judge you or your home. We will work by your side to help you get through those
clutter piles. Our organizing service includes the physical sorting, categorizing, and organizing, and we can help make arrangements
to remove donations, recyclables, and trash. We'll walk
you through the tough decisions, keep you motivated and focused on your goal, and help catch up the back-log.
On the other hand, many people struggle
with clutter and disorganization, in general. It may have been triggered by a traumatic experience,
or it may simply be something they have never been taught. As Julie Morgenstern states in her book, Organizing
from the Inside Out, "organizing is not something that is taught in school." If you are not aware of basic organizing
techniques, then organization is a constant struggle creating undue stress from not being able to find
things or chronically paying bills late. If this is you, you are not alone and shouldn't feel ashamed. Disorganization
is very common and can be found in clean, neat homes, just as much as dirty, untidy homes. We see it
in doctors, lawyers, business owners, professors, leaders, and professionals of all types. A Professional Organizing service will help you learn organizational tips and techniques that will
benefit you for a lifetime. We will reorganize your things, your paper, your time, and your life. We will walk you through
the process of setting up systems at your pace, and we'll be your support system to help keep you on track.

"It's routine day in, day out," said Banyay of a race mechanic's work. Here, he's giving Andrew Talansky's bike a thorough wipe-down with polish. "Routine isn't always fun, but it makes sure you do everything. It becomes mindless and you feel like you're forgetting something, but you're not. It's the same thing 280 days a year, but that's good."

Gym teacher does the nasty
I was 16, a junior in high school, and yes I had a very bad attitude!

My parents had gone off travelling, and she had decided that I should stay with her, much to my annoyance at the time. But now, 11 years later, she was actually more of a maternal figure than my real Mum. Aunt Liz sat cross-legged on the kitchen chair, showing off her long legs, balancing one of...Read On

My 48 year old wife gets a free massage from a young hunk but it ends up with him fucking her.
It all started back when my wife and I had taken a trip to the mall. We were just spending the day walking around from shop to shop when we came upon a shop that offered massages. They gave massages ranging from 5 to 30 minutes in length. The massages were also very expensive. A gentleman at the front of the shop offered my wife a free one minute massage. He was hoping to drum up business...Read On

I would give it higher ratings, but I only had it for two days before returning it for a larger-size rug. This is a quality rug. Color is lavender and trim was beige, FYI.
Pretty rug! Sheds a bit though. It is a very thick and lush texture to it.
The rug came quickly and is of high quality and a beautiful color.
This is a very high quality, soft rug that we are using in our daughter's nursery. Product quality is kind of hit or miss on overstock, but this is a really nice rug. It comes as advertised, maybe the purple is a little more muted than the picture, but that actually matches our colors better, so we were really happy. The bold pattern adds some interest as well.
The color and quality are perfect. It is just what I wanted.
Color is very muted. Bought this after lots of great reviews but I wish I'd taken more time to find something better.

Continuing to lead the industry with the latest technology trends, ANADIGICS Inc. announced that its power amplifiers are being utilized by LG Electronics (LG) for the new VL600 USB wireless modem. The VL600, which will be offered by Verizon Wireless, adapts ANADIGICS' ALT6713 and AWT6321 power amplifiers (PA) to boost the performance and reliability of the device.
With the ever increasing worldwide commitment to Long-Term Evolution (LTE), the VL600 is LG's first product for Verizon's 4G network enabling significantly higher mobile data speeds with increased network throughputs.

"With our extensive product portfolio, we are really excited about providing our solution to LG, one of the industry's most innovative mobile product companies," said Marcus Wise, Vice President of Wireless RF Products at ANADIGICS. "The ALT6713 powering the VL600 is another example of our innovative contribution towards driving the overall evolution of 4G."

Tall Lily wanted for zone 5
I know what the catalogs say, but do any of you here know of an Oriental, Asiatic, or Orienpet lily that gets 4.5' or 5' tall, or more?
I have a north-facing fence and only the tall plants get enough sun to bloom.
Most oriental lilies easily get to 4' and with good growing condition will get to 5-6',(except those marketed as "miniature" or "dwarf" such as Mona Lisa). So you are pretty safe with any of those.
An oriental that is particulary tall is "Aruba". It always grows to at least 6 feet in my garden, and usually taller.
Most Orienpets are tall (reflecting their Trumpet Lily heritage). Scheherazade starts out pretty tall and gets taller as it becomes established in the garden, (in some settings can reach 9' or higher).
The asiatics don't have a reputation for being particularly tall, but if anyone knows of one feel free to correct me.
Longiflorums are also generally on the 3' scale, as are many of their hybrids, yet I have Longiflorum - Oriental hybrids Triumphator and one of the "Promise" Lilies (I think Prince Promise) that easily exceed 4 feet.
Arena Oriental is a good 5' for me & the color is outstanding. White petals, yellow/green stripe through the center of the petal that turns to deep rose color as it reaches the tip of the petal point. There are deep pink/rose speaks on the whole inside of each petal. Do a search so you can find a picture. It is worth looking at. Fragrance is outstanding.
I agree with the suggestion of Scheherazade and Black Beauty...both are magnificent plants and can get very tall. The former will take 2-3 years to reach full height of 6 feet, the latter will take about 2 years to reach her height of 5 feet.
If you do a good job of deeply preparing your soil you can hurry things a bit but I agree it will take 2 years for Black Beauty anyway to make its height. My 3 yr olds got to about 6 ft last yr and I've read they can go to 9' - altho I don't expect that in my garden. You might consider Anemone Honorine Jobert or Filipendula as alternatives - both of which I've seen going to 7-8'.
I have a row of Le Reve Orientals along my back deck & they were 7' this year, nearly as tall last year. Also they are now growing trunks, not stems. They get sun most of the day although in the late afternoon the sun goes around the side of the house & their light is indirect.
When they were planted they received very well prepared soil. Now they get top dressed with compost in spring.

Penetrating, beautifully sparse, and eerie in its stillness, Gerbrand Bakker's The Twin tells the story of Helmer van Wonderen, an aging farmer whose life has been characterized by passivity, inaction, and a profound sense of isolation. Having begrudgingly taken over the family dairy farm after the accidental death of his twin brother Henk, Helmer finds himself, after 55 years, suddenly and unexpectedly the master of his own life—if only he knew what to do with it.
For years, Helmer has been "doing things by halves," living the life that was intended for his brother, a monotonous existence at the beck and call of his tyrannical father. As the story opens, however, Helmer has moved his father, close to death, to a bedroom upstairs, an act of self-assertion that pushes him to reassess his past and the decisions—or lack thereof—that have left him stagnated and alone. "Why did I let it all happen like this?," he wonders. "I could have said 'no' to Father and 'do it yourself' or just 'sell up.'"
But while Helmer may not be satisfied with the life that he has accepted for himself, it is a routine that if not fulfilling, is at least familiar. "I've milked the cows, day after day," he reflects.
In a way, I curse them, the cows, but they're also warm and serene when you lean your forehead on their flanks to attach the teat cups. There is nothing as calming, as protected, as a shed full of cows on a winter's evening. Day in, day out, summer, autumn, winter, spring.
In the absence of any truly meaningful, reciprocative human relationships, Helmer has forged quiet connections with his animals. He finds solace in the ritual of milking his cows, keeps two identical donkeys as pets, and almost drowns himself trying to save a sheep mired in an irrigation ditch. And it is through natural imagery such as this—swallows sleeping on telephone lines, a hooded crow alighting outside the kitchen window, ducks swimming in a pond—that Bakker (a former linguist who has since become a gardener) is able to not only reveal more of his taciturn protagonist's interiority, but also bring the narrative to a kind of gentle compromise between what should have been and what simply is.
On an unexpected trip to Denmark—his first holiday "in thirty-seven years of milking day and night"—Helmer walks down to a beach at sunset. "The beach is deserted," he says.
There are no hooded crows in the sky and even the busy grey sandpipers are missing. . . I am the only one for miles around making any noise . . . I know I have to get up. I know the maze of paths and unpaved roads in the shade of the pines, birches and maples will already be dark. But I stay sitting calmly, I am alone.
By the novel's close, Helmer has found some measure of peace and acceptance in his quiet life—even in his solitude.
Pedro Zarraluki's The History of Silence (trans. Nick Caistor and Lorenza García) begins with the narrator and his wife, Irene, setting out to write a book about silence, itself called The History of Silence: "This is the story of how. . .
There are plenty of reasons you can fail to find the rhythm of a book. Sometimes it's a matter of discarding initial assumptions or impressions, sometimes of resetting oneself. Zigmunds Skujiņš's Flesh-Coloured Dominoes was a defining experience in the necessity. . .
In a culture that privileges prose, reviewing poetry is fairly pointless. And I've long since stopped caring about what the world reads and dropped the crusade to get Americans to read more poems. Part of the fault, as I've suggested. . .
I would like to pose the argument that it is rare for one to ever come across a truly passive protagonist in a novel. The protagonist (perhaps) of Three Light-Years, Claudio Viberti, is just that—a shy internist who lives in. . .
The last five days of the eleventh-century Icelandic politician, writer of sagas, and famous murder victim Snorri Sturleleson (the Norwegian spelling, Snorre, is preserved in the book) make up Thorvald Steen's most recently translated historical fiction, The Little Horse. Murdered. . .
We all know Paris, or at least we think we know it. The Eiffel Tower. The Latin Quarter. The Champs-Élysées. The touristy stuff. In Dominique Fabre's novel, Guys Like Me, we're shown a different side of Paris: a gray, decaying. . .
One hundred pages into Birth of a Bridge, the prize-winning novel from French writer Maylis de Kerangal, the narrator describes how starting in November, birds come to nest in the wetlands of the fictional city of Coca, California, for three. . .

Uma família colombiana muito agradável, não me deram nenhum trabalho, todos muito educados e extremamente higiênicos, gostaria muito que todos os hóspedes que viessem para cá fossem desse nível, parabéns ao seu Alberto e família, e muito obrigado por ter escolhido o meu imóvel, espero ter a honra de recebê-los outras vezes.
Excelente, ningún inconveniente con ellos, puntuales en la llegada y salida, espero regresen otra vez a mi casa
Jaime and his wife are very nice and easygoing. They are also very punctual. Although, they can't speak English, they are very patient in listening and would never trouble you. What is the most interesting is actually it's their very first time in Brazil and they are so organized in schedule, car rental, domestic flights and everything. I definitely would host them again.
Jaime and his wife were great guests. It was really nice to have them with us these days. They are this type of people that make friends wherever they go. Highly recommended to any host!

The day they rented a car, I needed to go to Marica, 60 km from Rio, and they offered to me to bring me there, it was so nice from them, I thank you a lot for that, again, Jaime and Luisa.
And I don't speak about their cleanliness, good education, respect of my place....well, more than highly recommended !!!! And they are welcome whenever they want to come back !!!
Don't let yourself be lie to with that serious face, the most sweet and adorable couple ever, I wish the come back all the time their happiness is contagious.

The Concrete Industry Management (CIM) program raised $540,000 at its annual auction at World of Concrete. "The support from the concrete industry was tremendous," said Brian Gallagher, chairman of the CIM marketing committee. It was the highest amount raised in the three years the event has been held.
A rear-discharge mixer and truck donated by McNeilus Cos. and International Truck was again the centerpiece. In addition to the live auction, a silent auction was conducted throughout the show. Items included concrete saws, drills, mixers, vibrators, scaffolding, safety equipment, dust collectors, laptop computers, sports memorabilia, vacation travel packages, and more.
Money raised by the auction benefits the CIM National Steering Committee and also supports the CIM programs at Middle Tennessee State University, Arizona State University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, and California State University-Chico, in addition to helping fund future program expansion.
