Katrina's Wake
Arsenic-Laced Schools and Playgrounds Put New Orleans Children at Risk
When Hurricane Katrina tore through New Orleans in August 2005, the levee failures inundated the city -- particularly its most vulnerable neighborhoods -- with a hazardous sea of fuel, sewage and chemicals. Two years after the storm, a team of researchers from NRDC, working in partnership with local community groups, has found that hazardous levels of arsenic are still present in the soil at several locations in New Orleans -- including schools, playgrounds and residential areas. This August 2007 issue paper reveals that people in New Orleans are still returning home to communities that have not been adequately cleaned up, and offers solutions on a federal and local level for charting a safer course for New Orleans.

Just as the cold winds sweep the last leaves off Beijing's trees, November 11 was Singles, or "bare branch," Day in China (guanggunjie, after a Chinese term for single men). It's chosen for the four number ones of 11/11, an appropriate date to be dateless. In a country with 118 boys born for every 100 girls, the main function of the festival seems to be making all of China's single twigs feel inadequate. When I texted "What are you doing this guanggunjie?" to a handful of partnerless Chinese friends, I got back the same curt reply from three: "Sleeping." I'll know better than to ask next year.
Singles Day is mostly about online shopping sales now, but there are also a spattering of singles' events in Beijing on the night. Speed dating is increasingly popular in China, as young urban people in full-time jobs try to find a compatible life partner. I went along to one for a look. Continue reading

Highwoods first-quarter earnings miss Wall Street estimates
Highwoods Properties reported first-quarter earnings late Tuesday that missed Wall Street estimates.
The Raleigh real estate investment trust reported funds from operations, a profitability measure for REITs, of 66 cents per share for the quarter, compared to 67 cents per share in the first quarter of 2013.
That was below the 71 cents that was the consensus of Wall Street analysts who cover the company, according to Bloomberg.
But Highwoods raised its year-end occupancy forecast as well as its fund from operations outlook.
The company now expects its year-end occupancy to be between 91.3 percent and 92.5 percent, up from 90.8 percent to 92 percent. Funds from operations is expected to be between $2.86 and $2.94 per share. That's up from $2.82 to $2.94 per share.
Highwoods leased 1.2 million square feet of second generation office space during the first quarter. The company's quarterly average last year was 956,000 square feet.
In a statement, CEO Ed Fritsch said market conditions continue to improve and that the company continues to focus on leasing up the vacant space in the $549 million worth of acquisitions it made last year.
"Robust year-to-date leasing activity will more than offset the impact of the harsh weather," Fritsch said in a statement.
Earlier Tuesday, Highwoods shares closed at $39.52, down 9 cents. The stock is up 9 percent this year.

bromaloonie this is for you
you know....mine used to look that nice till i repeatedly drowned the poor defencless thang
Thanks HDD......lol....for thinking of me and showing me your lovely Xero
when i first bought him he looked like this
I just sat him in another pot plant,while his other new home was being thought about and made
this is where he lived he was under cover and out of the rain and doing well
then realising he had no roots i thought well maybe he needed to go out in the big wide world and get wet with rain water(obviously for far too long...lol
Hes now out under the veranda sitting on something drying out and looking 100% better then last week....LOL
Cheers Germaine
Often it's not the amount of moisture the plant receives, it's the direction in which it is mounted. When grown where there's ample moisture a sideways mount is usually best. This causes excess water to drain from the leaf bases more quickly rather than if pointed straight up like a turkey in the rain.
Ohhhhh ok.
The way it was in that huge log had bits of that coir and rock in a hollow but the hollow had drain holes so it was never sitting in puddles
but i can see how the bases of the leaves can catch too much moisture by sitting upright.
So its next new home will have to be sitting on a sideways angle for proper drainage
Thanks so much guys for your added imput into my Xeros well being...lol

Exegesis of Surah al-LahabWritten by محبوب حسين الأزهرى
- font size decrease font size increase font size
The name of this Sura is al-Lahab. It has one rukoo, five verses, twenty words and seventy seven letters.
This was revealed in Makkah Mukarramah. For the full information on the reason of revelation refer to point one. All that is being mentioned here is why Abu Lahab's name was taken when he was highlighted by the Quran, despite the fact that that in Makkah, Madinah and amongst other tribes of Arabia there were ample enemies of the blessed Prophet peace be upon him and Islam. Their attempts to cause pain, heartbreak and failure to Islam were no less than those of Abu Lahab. Therefore what is his significance that he is named and rebuked?
Where love is expected from, if hatred and enmity springs forth or where support and help is anticipated from, if the storm of opposition starts brewing, undoubtedly this becomes very painful. Abu Lahab was the blessed Prophet's real uncle; Hazrat Abdullah and Abu Lahab were real brothers. It was rightly expected from him that he would stand shoulder to shoulder with the orphan of his real brother and would not fail in helping him in the slightest manner. In addition to this, he was one of the leaders of the Banu Hashim. The culture in which the blessed Prophet peace be upon him was born gave the tribe a central role and it was the social and political duty of the tribal leader to offer every kind of support to every member of that tribe. If the member was an oppressor, rather than help the oppressed the tribe would deem it their responsibility to help their oppressive member. Abu Lahab was a leader of the Banu Hashim and the blessed Prophet peace be upon him was a Hashami, therefore it was his duty from the outset to accept the invitation of such an upstanding individual and to ensure at all costs that his invitation was made successful.
Despite the blood and family relationship between them, Abu Lahab was also the blessed Prophet's peace be upon him neighbour and only a wall separated their homes. The rights of a neighbour are acknowledged all over the world, thus he was aware of the holy Prophet's peace be upon him personal and family matters which other people would be ignorant of. He would be a witness to a pure lifestyle, a sublime life and an unblemished character, but despite this he still did not refrain from slinging mud on this image of grace and exquisiteness. Also the manner in which he showed enmity towards the blessed Prophet peace be upon him, with such ferocity and meanness, it would be difficult to find an equal.
When the blessed Prophet peace be upon him would be engrossed in his worship at home, he would throw fowl smelling tripe and the burnt entrails upon him. In addition his daily routine was to gather the rubbish and filth from his courtyard and throw it where the food would be cooked in the blessed Prophet's house. The matter did not end with him, his wife, despite her riches and position would go into the jungle and gather barbed thorny branches, carry a bundle of them back home and at night would lay them out in the path of the blessed Prophet peace be upon him in the hope that when he would rise in the latter part of the night and go towards the Haram (Sanctuary), he would step on a thorn and damage his soft gentle blessed feet.
Prior to the proclamation of Prophethood the blessed Prophet peace be upon him had given his two daughters in marriage to his uncles' sons Utbah and Utaibah. When the blessed Prophet peace be upon him began preaching, she called her sons and told them in an undignified manner that if they didn't divorce their wives she would stop talking to them and completely sever her ties with them. Both brothers divorced their wives, but Utaibah showed his true awful self and said "I disbelieve in Muhammad's God" and had the audacity to attempt to spit on the blessed Prophet peace be upon him. He was unable to and it fell back on his face. The blessed Prophet peace be upon him appealed to Allah and said "'O' Allah appoint one of your dogs for this wicked person." Subsequently on one journey a lion attacked Utaibah and ripped him to bits, but amazingly neither did it drink his filthy blood nor did it consume his impure meat. The detail to this incidence can be found in the commentary to Surah al-Najm.
I would like to present another incident that reflects Abu Lahab's disgusting character. In the seventh year of Prophethood the Kuffaar (disbelievers) of Makkah socially boycotted the blessed Prophet peace be upon him, his family, the Banu Hashim and Muttalib. Merely based upon tribal prejudice, they were imprisoned in the Valley of Abu Talib and Abu Lahab, despite being a Hashmi, opposed the blessed Prophet peace be upon him and supported the Kuffaar of Makkah. His enmity towards Islam and its Prophet peace be upon him was so extreme that he was always after him trying to falsify him. The blessed Prophet's peace be upon him routine was that wherever there were commercial bazaars or gatherings he would attend and invite the people towards Tawheed. This imbecile would reach that place and would shout out loudly 'O' people this is my nephew and he has gone mad, don't go near him, don't listen to him otherwise he will lead you astray.
In conclusion whatever support could have been imagined from one so close, the opposite was shown in extreme enmity and opposition. He had a great role in enmity and opposition towards Islam and stood out amongst the others for this. For this reason his name has been mentioned in the Quran and he has been severely cursed. His title was Abu Lahab, which he was popularly known by, but his real name was Abd al-Uzza, and this impure name was not worthy of being mentioned in the Quran. For this reason his title was used so that the message of his being an occupant of Hell would reach everyone.
From the study of this Surah it becomes evident that the slightest disrespect towards the blessed Prophet peace be upon him will cause the almighty to become very angry. That misfortunate man only raised one finger and uttered such filth, to which the reaction of the blessed Prophet peace be upon him was one of forgiveness, as was worthy of his status, but Allah could not tolerate this against his beloved messenger peace be upon him and responded with "May Abu Lahab's both hands perish. By saying this he sent out a clear warning to every disrespectful person that if any action or word came from their behalf through which any aspect of the holy Prophet's peace be upon him respect was compromised the lightening of Allah's anger will strike you and turn you to dust.
As a poet once said
"It is a place of reverence under the sky which is more fragile than the 'Arsh' (The Supreme Throne above Heaven): This is the place where (pious) persons like Junaid and Ba-Yazid used to come with holding their breath out of deep respect of the Holy Prophet (Allah's grace and peace be upon him"
Exegesis of Surah al-Lahab
Allah's name I begin with, the most compassionate, the most kind.
(1) Perdition overtake both hands of Abu Lahab, and he will perish.
(2) His wealth and what he earns will not avail him.
(3) He shall soon burn in fire that flames,
(4) And his wife, the bearer of fuel,
(5) Upon her neck a halter of strongly twisted rope.
1) The word 'Tabb' is used in the context of loss, failure and destruction (al-Qurtubi). When the verse "Warn your close relatives" (Q26:214) was revealed to the holy Prophet peace be upon him he climbed Mount Safa and called out loudly "Ya Sabahan". It was the practise of the Arabs that whenever they were faced with an unexpected calamity and assistance was sought, they would appeal through the words of "Ya Sabahan". When the people heard the call they came running to the base of the mountain and those who were unable to respond in person, they sent representatives to enquire about the reality of the situation. When all the tribes of the Quraysh were gathered the blessed Prophet peace be upon him addressed the people and said, "If I was to inform you that behind this mountain there was a large army coming to attack you, would you believe me? Everyone responded with one voice "Indeed we would believe you because until today we have heard nothing but the truth from your lips". The blessed Prophet peace be upon him said, "I am forewarning you that if you don't abandon Shirk Allah's punishment will destroy you." Abu Lahab, who was the blessed Prophet's peace be upon him uncle, he raised his finger and indicated whilst saying "May you be ruined! Did you gather us for this?"
Allah found the insolence of this contemptuous person in relation to his beloved messenger peace be upon him intolerable, and in a show of extreme anger and intolerance, he said, "May Abu Lahab's both hands perish." The hands from which one finger was raised in disrespect, both those hands perish and may he never be successful in his purpose. This was a curse for him. By the pronunciation of "Wa Tabb" he was destroyed, he was broken into pieces; his body was ripped into shreds because what Allah had said about him did not take very long to transpire. Due to cowardice he avoided participating in the Battle of Badr, but only one week had passed since the terrible defeat of Badr that an infectious boil appeared on his body, which in a matter of few days spread all over his body. Malodorous pus began seeping from all over his body and his flesh started withering away. When his sons saw that he had been infected with a contagious disease, they kicked him out of his home and he died suffering horribly.
Even then no member of his family was prepared to come anywhere near him to fulfil the last rites. For three days his corpse lay there and when the people became sick of its decay and smell and started to curse and blame his sons, they reluctantly hired some Ethiopian slaves to get rid of his body. They dug a ditch and using long pieces of wood they pushed him into that and filled it with earth. The fate of the leader of such a large nation and one of the four main rulers of the Makkah can only have been the consequence of the wrath of Allah. Children would not leave their father in such a state and after death they would not allow the body to rot and decay in such a manner, but when Allah's wrath is unleashed then the love in their hearts and that apparent affection disappears and that person shares the same fate as this person who disrespected the blessed Prophet peace be upon him. All of Makkah witnessed that prophecy of the blessed Prophet peace be upon him from his Lord was fulfilled word by word. May Allah protect us from his wrath and the wrath of his blessed Prophet peace be upon him.
Some scholars are of the view that "Tabbat" is an informative sentence and "Tabb" is also an informative sentence with the purpose of emphasising the first sentence, but Imam Qurtubi has narrated an opinion of Farra (grammarian) that the first is a curse (prayer) and the second is an informative sentence, whereby the meaning of the verse is that in the first sentence is that his destruction is desired, but in the second sentence it is confirmed (al-Qurtubi). Imam Pani Patti also says the same "informative sentence after an informative sentence, the first as a curse and the second for emphasis" (Mazhari). Abu Lahab's name was Abd al-'Uzza and because of his beauty and luminous face he called himself Abu Lahab. Allah only mentioned him by his filial appellation (kuniyyat) and not his real name for numerous reason from which two are; that he was more well known by his filial appellation (kuniyyat) and secondly the name Abd al-'Uzza was a name not worthy of being mentioned in the Holy Quran.
2) He was from amongst the four wealthiest individuals in Makkah. He had a considerable amount of gold, land and property, other wealth and cattle and had many children. His sons were mature in his lifetime, but when Allah punished him and an infectious/poisonous boil appeared on his body all is slaves, servants, brothers, relatives, even his own sons left him to suffer alone. In this world he witnessed that the excessive wealth which he was proud of, the sons who he was conceited about, at the time of need/difficulty they abandoned him and were of no use to him at all. Some scholars have interpreted 'Ma Kasaba' as children.
3) Today he is insulting towards my blessed Prophet peace be upon him, disrespectfully pointing his finger at him and being loutish, very soon there will come a time when we will give him a taste of his disrespect and throw him in such a fire where the flames will be severe.
4) His wife was called 'Ardah' and her filial appellation was 'Umm Jameel'. She was Abu Sufyan's sister and was also squint-eyed. Her heart was consumed with loathing for the blessed Prophet peace be upon him and she was equal to her husband in her enmity towards Islam. He job was that during the day she would go out to the jungle and gather barbed thorny branches, carry a bundle of them back home and at night would lay them out on that path which the blessed Prophet peace be upon him would travel upon to prostrate to his lord in the Haram. When this surah was revealed she heard about it and became enraged and gather small stones in her hands so that wherever she met the blessed Prophet peace be upon him she would stone him. The blessed Prophet peace be upon him was sitting near the Kaba and Hazrat Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq was at his service. When Hazrat Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq saw her approaching he said "'O' messenger of Allah Umm Jameel is coming and she will most certainly do something disrespectful." The blessed Prophet replied "She cannot see me." This was exactly what happened. She came close and was unable to see the blessed Prophet peace be upon him forcing her to go away muttering to herself. It was proclaimed that the fire in which her insolent husband would be burnt, she would also be thrown into that.
5) 'Hatab' refers to fuel, wood used for burning. 'Hammaltun' refers to bearer/carrier (female). With this word her practise (of gathering thorny branches) is highlighted. 'Hammalaat al-Hatab' also has another meaning. It is said regarding that person who tells tales about people "So and so was tells tales about someone when he stirred up trouble for him. This is used for someone who tells tales and sows seeds of discord amongst people. Such a person has been condemned in the Hadith "No tale bearer will enter paradise". It has been narrated from Ka'b al-Ahbar that the Jews suffered a drought and Musa peace be upon him along with the people prayed for rain for three days, but not a drop of rain fell. Eventually Musa peace be upon him implored "O" Lord these are your people, if you don't have mercy upon them who will?"Allah responded by sending a revelation "I will not accept you prayer nor the prayers of your people because amongst them is a person who tells tales." Musa peace be upon him asked "'O' Lord who is that person so that we can remove him from amongst ourselves?" Allah replied "'O' Musa I am prohibiting you from backbiting so how can I do that to someone?" Thus everyone repented and then prayed for rain and their prayer was answered.
There is no doubt that backbiting is a major sin. Hazrat Fudhail ibn Ayyadh stated "Three things destroy the actions, break the fast and ablution, backbiting, tale bearing and lying. Regarding the textual analysis there are varying opinions, but the correct opinion is that its accusative state is due to contempt. She was known due to this attribute (hammalaat al-Hatab), therefore this attribute did not become her specification, but rather her contempt.
6) 'Jeed' refers to neck, 'Habl' refers rope and 'Masad' refers to twisted rope. The reason for mentioning Umm Jameel with these specific words is that she was the wife of the leader of Makkah. She constantly adorned her neck with valuable jewellery and would say "By Laat and Uzza I would sell this necklace to fund my enmity of Muhammad (peace be upon him). Allah replied by saying that the neck which was proudly wearing expensive jewellery today, we would put a rope of twisted fibre measuring 70 yards around her neck and drag her in Hell. According to some narrations she had been to the jungle to gather the barbed wood and had tied that with twisted palm fibre rope to help her carry the bundle. She sat down on a rock to rest and the bundle fell backwards resulting in the rope becoming entangled in her neck choking and killing her.
There is no power and might except that of Allah the most high, the most Majestic. 'O' Allah we seek protection with you from disrespect towards the blessed Prophet peace be upon him

Commuter Darren Watson, 31, was viciously attacked yesterday by fellow passengers on the 07.18 Virgin Trains service to London.
'The journey started pleasantly enough', said Darren. 'People were reading copies of Librarian Monthly or working on spreadsheets. I hadn't even realised I was in the Quiet Coach until it all kicked off.'
'It wasn't even much of a call, just my wife phoning to ask what I wanted for my tea. When I looked up, all these people had risen from their seats. Some were wearing bandanas, and an accountant from Preston was stripping to the waist and smearing camouflage paint on his cheeks. They didn't make a sound, just used hand signals like in films.'

I'm planning some future beers and don't currently use a secondary. So I was doing some research on past theads concerning dry hopping in a primary. A couple of interesting topics came up in those threads and I'd like to see some discussion on them:
1. While it seems like dry hopping in a primary is no problem, there is a big dispute between those that think it's a must that you wait until fermentation is done so as not to remove the esssential hop oils needed for aroma, and those that swear by dry hopping when fermentation is still going on (but slowed way down). Some have stated that they had poor results with harsh aromas and flavors by dry hopping any other way. This seems odd since the most common procedure for dry-hopping is in a secondary.
2. I like the idea of dry-hopping using a bag, or better yet an stainless herb/tea ball (seems like sanitation would be very easy....I'm not sure the best way to sanitize a bag). But there is some dispute between this method, which makes racking a clear bear (with no hop pieces) easier, and just dumping the hops in the fermenter to make sure you get the proper beer/hop contact.
I know there's no one right way to do this stuff, and most is personal preference, I just like to see the discussions by you folks with a lot of experience.
I have dry hopped every way possible. All I can tell you is what works for me....and that is dry hopping in primary with pellets. I usually start about day 7 but every beer is different. Throw them right in and give the fermenter a little nudge every day. I like to do 2 rounds for about a week each. Rack off the top and enjoy!
I've had good and bad results with all sorts of different techniques, but this is old reliable for me. Never had any problems.
I do the same as dale. The beer clouds up a bit but autosiphon does a good job keeping large particles out. After a few days chilled the beer clears up just fine, no soggy hops in the mouth.
As to #1 - I would definitely wait until fermentation is complete. If fermentation is ongoing, it will, as you said, result in a less effective dry hop simply because CO2 will still be pushing hard out of the fermenter and it will carry off the aroma of the hops along with it.
As to #2 - there are a million ways to reduce particles in your finished beer, either of the ones you suggested would most likely be fine. You can sanitize a bag the same way you sanitize anything else - dropping it in a bucket full of sanitizing solution. I just dump the hops right in to my primary and then I siphon into the bottling bucket with a 5 gallon paint strainer bag tied off on the auto-siphon. If you do that, make sure you tie off the siphoning portion (i.e. the one that's going into your primary/secondary) and not the output end that's in the bottling bucket. If you do it on the output end, you might end up aerating the beer during the transfer, which is a no-no. Of course, some people are skilled enough at racking that they don't need any fancy products to prevent sediment from getting into the bottling bucket, but I do not possess such magical racking skills, thus the crutch of a paint strainer.
I too have good luck throwing in my pellets/leaf hops stright into my fermenter. I typically throw them in around day 7 and let them ride for another 7+ days. No need to sanitize the hops if you don't put them into something as they are naturally antiseptic.
I dry hopped my IPA with whole leaf and initially tried to use a bag but it was a no go to get them into the carboy in the bag so I ended up just throwing them in. If you are using a bucket you could just toss the bag of whole leaf hops in. Next time I will use pellet hops and put them in the carboy in a bag.
As far as santizing a bag, there is nothing to it. Either soak it with star sans or just boil it.

The "House of Mouse"
To Kate & Jeff, thanks you for a great vacation. The house was wonderful and made the stay in the area that much more enjoyable. Thanks for working so quickly with us for the resevation when our plans changed at the last minute. The accomodations we clean and well kept. We ejoyed the pool and hot tub. If we are in the area again next spring we would love to rent the property again. Tracy B.
Spacious Vacation Home
From the very first phone call this rental experience was made simple and easy by Lisa. The home was exactly as we saw in the pictures with an abundant supply of towels and even beachtowels. We had a problem with the disposal not working, but one phone call to Sonya, the property manager,and the disposal problem was taken care of and a new one was put in by the very knowledgeable maintenance person. Even though this home is in a close built community area there was plenty of privacy and we never heard any neighbors. This property is located closely to the theme parks which was an advantage after being at a park all day. The welcome Hamper was very thoughtful and much appreciated on our arrival. We found the pool to be very clean and spacious and also delightful to be in during our vacation. Everything was clean on arrival. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone and I certainly would not hesitate to rent from Lisa Ellis again. We enjoyed the game room on a rainy day. Great vacationing in a beautiful spacious home.
This house was awesome!! Way bigger than it looks it pictures. We had 19 people in our family. 11 adults and 8 kids. There was plenty of room. The bedrooms were all really nice, especially the master suite. The home theatre was awesome too, perfect for movie night and playing video games. The pool and hot tub were very relaxing, and were the perfect place to go after a long day out. Overall I think this is the best villa that I've stayed at ( I've been to 4 other ones). I would definitely recommend this place to anyone! Looking forward to coming back again :)

A pleasant surprise this past week was a letter to the Canyon Courier with photos enclosed of some American goldfinches at a feeder. The photos were taken by Bud and Sandy Madigan at their home feeder in the Upper Bear Creek area. The photos helped me identify the birds.
American goldfinches are not too easily identified in winter. Their winter plumage is not distinctive, especially in the black-and-white print that was sent to me by the Courier. However, the two light wing bars are distinctive in these little olive drab birds. The plumage of both the male and the female are much alike in winter and very similar to the female's summer plumage. If the birds continue to visit the Madigans' feeder, they will be able to watch as the males begin to acquire their yellow summer plumage. They will slowly change their body colors to a bright golden yellow, their wings and tail will remain black, and they will acquire a little black cap on their heads.
I am very fond of these little birds. Most books use such terms as joyous, happy and merry when describing them. Most of the year, they travel in small happy-go-lucky flocks, rollicking about the countryside. Their undulating, rollercoaster flight is distinctive and their flight song of "per-chick-o-ree" makes one think of a group of happy children at play. Watch for them at your feeders for if they are in the area, as winter snow buries their weed seeds, they will surely turn to feeders where black oil sunflower seeds are available.
As spring arrives, they will acquire their full yellow plumage and the winter flocks will break up into nesting pairs. They nest in shrubs along the edge of pastures or forests or in small trees. Their nests are well constructed of plant fibers and down. The inner nest is almost always lined with thistle or dandelion down. For this reason, they nest later than most birds and in many areas they are commonly called thistlebirds. Don't worry about their bringing the seeds of thistles to your yard for they usually nip off the seed to eat it before they bring the down to their nest.
The eggs hatch in about 12 days, and the young are fed for another two weeks or so, but there is not much known about their nesting in Colorado. After the young leave the nest, they start traveling about in family groups and are often joined by other families. You seldom see one or two goldfinches alone for they are so strongly oriented to flock life that they spend most of their life in flocks, only being separated during the brief nesting period.
Goldfinches range all across America and southern Canada. They winter in the southern states and in northern Mexico.
These birds are almost as acrobatic as chickadees. They will gather in thistle patches to feed and hang upside down if necessary to reach their prized food. They are delightful to watch and prefer the small black oil sunflower seed, which is easier for them to handle.
The Madigans also have a flock of 50 or more evening grosbeaks coming to their feeders daily. Their activity probably alerted the goldfinches to come see what the attraction was, and of course, once they found the feeders full of sunflower seed, they stayed to dine. Since both of these species are flock birds, they seem to get along well even though the goldfinches are much smaller.
A few years ago, I was going out my driveway one day and was amazed to see so many dandelions blooming on my leach field. As I came closer, the dandelions suddenly flew away. They weren't dandelions at all, just a flock of summer plumaged goldfinches having lunch on my grass seed.

The 7-foot-1 rookie played in his first game Tuesday for the Phoenix Suns since Nov. 20. He had missed 21 straight games, and even though he was the No. 5 pick in the 2013 draft, nary a Suns fan probably noticed his absence, as second-year center Miles Plumlee has had a breakout season in his first go-round with the team.
Len suited up Saturday at home versus Milwaukee but did not play, but with 4:20 left in the first quarter Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls, the 20-year-old Ukrainian got his name called to spell Plumlee. He made his first shot in nearly two months just over a minute later.
The former Maryland standout sunk his only shot of the game and finished with three points and two rebounds in those six minutes, which was longer than he played in his previous two outings. He has only seen the court five times all season.
The team has been in no hurry to rush him back to the court as he recovers from a surgically repaired left ankle. The Suns' brass knew he was coming off injuries when they drafted him, and they maintained a "wait-and-see" approach to his development.
Coach Jeff Hornacek said in December that Len had been staying active and hitting the weight room while he waited for his injury to get better.
There were times in 2013 where he couldn't take a step at all without the aid of crutches. So any stint of action in an NBA game, even six minutes of it, is progress.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
This is a split board - You can return to the Split List for other boards.
My, honest to God, Roster 2
My, honest to God, Roster 2:
-Mewtwo/Awakened Form (Pokemon)
-Zoroark (Pokemon)
-King K. Rool (Donkey Kong)
-Shulk (Xenoblade Chronicles)
-Chrom (Fire Emblem)
-Wonder Red (Wonderful 101)
-Takamaru (Samurai Warriors)

-The Villager (Animal Crossing)
-Wii Fit Trainer (Wii Fit)
-Fossil Fighter (Fossil Fighter) (OBSCURE CHOICE)
-Mega Man (Megaman Franchise)
-Pikmin 3 Antagonist Creature
Heres what it looks like: http://images.wikia.com/pikmin/images/5/54/Pikmin3_WTFISTHIS.jpeg
-Pokemon Trainer (Squirtle, Ivysaur, Charizard)
Total Characters: 45
It was either keep Pokemon Trainer or Lucario; I felt like Pokemon Trainer was too heavily disliked and Lucario would play too much like Mewtwo, so I figured Zoroark would be a good addition. Representing generation five, Zoroark could use basic punches, jabs, chops, tail whaps, and kicks with his lanky body and of course dark/psychic type attacks such as his illusions.
Despite all the oversized character debate, I think he could easily be shrunk down to SSB size. Of course he would be a heavyweight. I honestly hate his new Other M model, so I hope they would use his Metroid Prime form. Metroid hasnt been popular recently, but I think its an original sci-fi franchise that deserves at least one more character.
Fossil Fighter:
Really no explanation cause he wont make it in, but he would fun would he not? A fierce dinosaur at your disposal versus Mario?
I felt bad cutting Falco, but he is a complete clone of Fox. In more recent games, Krystal rivals the relevance of Falco, being Foxs girlfriend and whatnot, and she could have a much more unique moveset ranging from bombs to magic. So yes, I think Krystal is a relevant character to the series that would make a great fighter and an acceptable replacement of Falco.
Masked Man:
Earthbound is an abused franchise. Does it deserve three characters? No. But Masked Man, I feel would make a unique, lightweight antagonist. He has what, PSI, some sort of sword, and wings? Wow but in any case he could be omitted and I wouldnt care.
Pikmin 3 Antagonist:
Pikmin is one of the most original, creative, underrated franchises of all time (IMO). Pikmin 3 deserves two reps at most, and for advertisement and varietys sake this odd creature makes the cut. Able to morph his golden, fluid-like body into various shapes pertaining to various hazards, he would make a versatile, epic fighter. While I wouldnt say its out of the question its probably not happening. I am very excited given that Pikmin usually doesnt have villians; nature itself is usually the antagonist!
Poor F-Zero, always getting stuck with just a single rep when there are so many possibilities. Granted the single rep is the most badass man ever created, but still...
Ridley is Love, Ridley is Life
Takamaru isn't from the Samurai Warriors series. He was just a guest character in one of those games.

I read 'Able' as 'Alph' and for a second I was absolutely horrified

With 3 ensuite bedrooms and set within a beautiful thatched walled garden Enford House Cottage is the perfect place for a relaxing & peaceful break in the english countryside but is also within easy reach of many tourist attractions including Stonehenge, Avebury & Salisbury.
The cottage is an attached wing of the 18th Century, Grade 2 listed manor house (Enford House) and is a home away from home with comfortable beds, good quality bedlinen and towels and a well equipped kitchen.
The property is surrounded by the wall garden which is situated next to the village church and beyond that fields. The village pub, which serves good food, is 2 minutes walk away. The cottage is child friendly - the garden is enclosed by the wall and there is a thatched games room for visitors to use with table tennis and table football. Wifi is available throughout the property.
For those with children, within the large garden (shared with the owners who live next door) there is a games room with table tennis table and table football and outside a swing and slide, football net and chickens. When there are spare eggs, and vegetables from the garden, we will put a selection in the cottage fridge for your arrival (please note this is seasonal!). The garden is completely enclosed and the entrance gate can be shut for those with young children or dogs.
The village of Enford is in the Avon Valley - the village is surrounded by countryside and there are lots of places to walk or bicycle. Stonehenge is an hours walk or 10 min drive.
The village has 2 great local pubs. The Swan, which is 2 minutes' walk, and The Red Lion, in the next door village of East Chisenbury, which is 2 minutes' drive or a 20 minute walk. Both do good food - the Red Lion has a Michelin pub award for its food and is a well known Wiltshire pub which people come a long way to visit. There is no shop in the village itself but there are local shops in neighbouring villages less than 5 minutes drive away, major supermarkets in the local towns and all the supermarkets do delivery to the door. And for those looking for a winter get away the cottage is very warm with central heating throughout, an electric log burner in the sitting room and double glazing so is very cosy!
The cottage is ideally situated for the following places of interest
•Stonehenge (10 mins drive) and Avebury (25 mins drive) Stone Circles (World Heritage sites),

Simon and Mary Campbell, who own Enford House Cottage, live in the main house next door with their children. The picture shows the main part of the house in which they live. The cottage and main house have seperate entrances it feels very seperate although we are attached at the back. There is a trampoline and Swing and slide in the garden which all guests are welcome to use.
Mary Campbell purchased this cottage in 1969
My husbands parents bought the property when he was a baby and he grew up here and inherited it in 2005. His grandmother used to live in the cottage
With the thatched walled garden and special door in the wall to take you through to the churchyard Enford is a very special place. The cottage has a lovely feeling about it and everyone comments on how comfortable the beds are!
We had a very happy holiday in this lovely cottage. Coming from belgium we were very excited by the walled garden and lovely old house the cottage is part of. Really well equipped in the cottage and we felt at home very soon. We visited the beautiful countryside and lots of 'old stones'!
A gorgeous cottage in a beautiful location. Better than the pictures. The owners ( who live next door) were extremely helpful and kind. A lot to see nearby. A great family meal enjoyed at the Swan which is an easy 2 minute walk away, and a beautiful dinner at the Red Lion 5 minutes drive away.
As soon as I saw this cottage online after an extensive search, I knew it was the right one -- and I was happily proved correct! Quaint and very "olde England" on the outside with all the mod cons on the inside. We were three generations coming over from the U.S. for 8 days and all of us loved the cottage, the grounds, and the Enford area. Mary was extremely easy to work with ahead of time. She made sure all my questions were answered and by the time I actually met her I already felt she was a friend. During our stay she and her family were nearby (their main house is joined to the cottage) but never obtrusive. When we had a question or minor concern she addressed it immediately.
For groceries we went to the Sainburys Local in Durlington, less than 10 minutes away, and they had everything we needed. Enjoyed several dinners in the Swan, where they welcomed us like locals. We took day trips to Salisbury, Marlborough, Swanage, the Cotswolds, and Avebury. Mom and I enjoyed market day in local towns while my brother and nephew took long walks (and met the local farmer and his bull named Teddy). The weather cooperated, I didn't wreck the car, and we always had our cozy nest to return to at the end of the day. What more could you ask for?
I cannot praise Enford House Cottage highly enough. Spotlessly clean, incredibly comfortable, equipped with everything you can possibly think of, and in a wonderfully peaceful location. The owners are lovely people, very friendly and welcoming, and have compiled a helpful and comprehensive folder full of details of places to eat, places to visit, places to shop, places to walk etc. The cottage itself is beautiful, very light and spacious, with lovely views from every window. There are lots of interesting places to visit nearby, including Salisbury Cathedral, Wilton House, and the Avebury Stones, and the Cotswolds are only just over an hour away. Negative points? Absolutely none! The cottage and its owners deserve every one of the five stars awarded – and then some. We only stayed from Monday – Friday (I wish we'd booked a fortnight!) but still managed to end our short holiday feeling refreshed, relaxed and revitalised. If you're still undecided whether to book your break here I can assure you, you won't be disappointed. This place is perfect.
Four friends from Canada had a most memorable stay in this beautiful country cottage. Nothing was too much trouble for our host, Mary and we recommend it without reservation. The cottage is spacious, beautifully furnished and perfectly located for visiting historic sights in central southern England.
The cottage was beautiful. Our family of 6 stayed for a week, and we were very pleased with everything - very clean and well-maintained, the rooms and beds were very comfortable, and we loved having a bathroom for each bedroom! The grounds were absolutely gorgeous, and we enjoyed a few berries and apples! Mary graciously provided some eggs and milk when we arrived. We would recommend this cottage to anyone, and hope to return someday. It was the perfect location for day trips to Salisbury, Bath, Marlborough, and others.
I stayed at Enford cottage in May 2013 with my husband, two children (15 & 12), my parents and our dog, Marley. The booking procedure with Mary was easy and she was very helpful answering my endless questions. The cottage is lovely, with everything you could need. There is a downstairs bedroom with shower and toilet which was perfect for my parents as my dad has walking difficulties. The upstairs bedrooms were lovely. Lots of original features but with modern facilities. Mary and her family live in the house next door but were not intrusive in any way and happy to answer any question we had and advise on walks, places to visit, restaurants etc. The walled garden was perfect for Marley as he could be let out with no worries about him getting out and the games room was great for the kids as it gave them something to do while we were cooking etc. There was a table tennis table, table football and various other things in there to keep them amused. The cottage also had Wifi, much to the delight of my 15 year old who cannot be away from twitter for very long!! You can walk from the cottage up to the pub which is in a really quaint road with thatched cottages, a river, ducks - an idyllic English scene. We went for long walks up on the plains which Marley loved and also drove out a bit where there are numerous places to walk and visit. The garden was lovely to sit in so we spent the evenings at the cottage. We had beautiful weather so took advantage of the BBQ. The only negative is that there are no shops within walking distance so its a drive to get the morning papers and milk - but really not a hardship. Would thoroughly recommend the cottage to anyone and hope to return

VANCOUVER — Vancouver has become the next stop for real estate tycoon and reality television icon Donald Trump's international hotel chain.
Surrounded by his two sons and daughter, as well as the CEO of Vancouver-based developer Holborn Group, Trump says the $360-million Trump International Hotel and Tower in Vancouver will be an architectural wonder and worth the hefty price.
The 63-storey twisting tower will be built by Holborn Group on city property that was once slated to become a Ritz-Carlton Hotel with residential condos above.
The Trump Tower will have luxury residences and guest rooms, as well as a night club, a champagne lounge, and a boutique spa.
The Trump family will be lending its brand, and will be operating the hotel, but the family will not be investing in the project's development.
This will be the second Trump International Hotel and Tower to be built in Canada, following the one in Toronto, which opened last April.

So the way we make this work is we create a link from the internal music storage folder to one on the external SD.
Some root browsers/explorers call this a "shortcut" but I use Root Explorer v3, which in my opinion is much easier.
You must have root to do this.
First, use Root Explorer to go into your external SD and create a folder, you can call it whatever you like. I used "GoogleMusic"
Next, create a folder underneath it called "files" and then long-press on it and choose the option to "link to this folder"
Next, browse to the Google Music internal storage directory (/data/data/com.google.android.music/files) and delete it (you may want to move the files to your new "files" directory first)
Then, click on the "create link" button to link to the files directory on your external SD.
Works like a charm for me.
Keep in mind these MP3s will be stored using Google's numeric naming convention, so they will really only be useful for Google Music. If you want to use the files for other players you can remove the .nomedia file from the directory with the MP3s in it.
Most of my info cam from a good write-up here on how to do it on an S3 running CM10:

Winning a legal battle against the NCUA is a long shot. So why waste industry resources on legal opinions?
International credit union trade group cautions that the NCUA and other U.S. regulators often implement Basel ideas.
New Basel guidance for weak institutions recommends risk-based capital for all.
As May 28 comment deadline looms, reaction runs deep to risk-based capital rule from NCUA.
Read why industry leaders think parity of Basel III is inappropriate for credit unions and what the NCUA should do instead.
The World Council of Credit Unions urged the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision to strive for greater clarity in its recent "Sound Management of Risk Related to Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism" consultative document. The Basel Committee's AML rules are one of the international standards that influence U.S. credit unions'...
World Council pens letter on AML lists and CU membership to Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.
Fed, FDIC, Comptroller say comments, concerns influenced decision. No new date announced.
Under proposed Basel III guidelines, credit unions must treat shares members can redeem without restriction as liabilities on their balance sheets.
The leaders of CUNA and NAFCU yesterday wrote NCUA Chairman Debbie Matz requesting her "leadership and assistance" in moving capital reform through Congress.
