Despite quite a few challenges, Pam Jones has managed to do a whole lot with little.
The tiny space and the extremely vertical backyard landscape would be a challenge for most ordinary gardeners, but Jones has created a backyard retreat that brings delight to the birds and creates a relaxing space to unwind. And with large windows in the back of the house, the landscaping creates a beautiful backdrop for her interior decor. Standing in her kitchen, visitors can look out on the waterfall and the knockout roses tucked into a retaining wall garden.
When Jones lived in Kentucky, she said the front yard was very steep and the landscaper suggested a tiered retaining wall with room for plants on three levels and she I loved the way it turned out.
Returning to Starkville and a new home, she saw the possibility for the tiered retaining wall for the backyard on a much smaller scale. She called Four Seasons and Adam Brown came over to discuss the possibilities.
"I roughly knew I wanted cut flowers on one side and herbs on the other," Jones said. "When he saw the hillside, he insisted that I add the water feature. I told him I couldn't afford it, and he said, you can't afford NOT to with this setting. I am so glad he talked me into it."
Jones' favorite spot in the garden is now the waterfall. She can sit at her kitchen table and view the waterfall and much of the garden, as well as garden visitors such as birds and butterflies.
"I enjoy a cup of coffee first thing in the morning sitting right in front of it nearly every weekend,"Jones said. "In the afternoons, I love sitting with friends in my outdoor living room under the arbor where there is lots of shade from the arbor as well as the huge oak tree in my neighbor's backyard. I can hear the waterfall anytime I'm in the sun room or in the backyard."
The small pathway between her home and the neighbor showcases a variety of plantings and large pots leading to a wooden trellis with a view of the fountain.
The small front yard is highlighted by a variety of zinnias that are providing vibrant color and texture to the beds.
"I love all my plants, but the zinnia's have been beautiful and seeing them every time I drive up makes me smile," Jones said. "I also love the trailing pink and green variegated ivy that I have in two or three pots. My two angel wing begonias have been full and gorgeous all summer. This is their third summer and I just cut them back in the fall and put them in the sun room."
Emily Jones, one of Jones' best friends, said she can't believe what she has done in such a very small space.
"The water feature and vertical planting above the retaining wall were brilliant ideas — and best of all, she is one of those gardeners who shares her plant materials," Emily Jones said.
In 2009, Jones' small garden was featured on the Art in the Garden Tour, sponsored by the Starkville Area Arts Council.
Wanda Thorne, former chair of AITG, said Jones' garden was exceptionally charming.
"I love her water feature and the upper level garden," Thorne said.

The Premier League's longest-serving current manager Arsene Wenger will stay at Arsenal into a third decade after signing a three-year contract extension that will keep him at the Emirates Stadium until 2017, the Premier League club said on Friday.
"Wenger has been with Arsenal for 17 years, making him the longest-serving and most successful manager in the history of the club," the north London side said in a statement.
The 64-year-old Frenchman has led Arsenal to three Premier League titles and five FA Cups since joining from Japanese club Nagoya Grampus Eight 18 years ago but this month's 3-2 FA Cup final win over Hull City was their first silverware since 2005.
Wenger had delayed putting pen to paper on a new contract, despite stating publicly that he was planning to stay at the London club.
"I want to stay and to continue to develop the team and the club," Wenger said.
"We are entering a very exciting period. We have a strong squad, financial stability and huge support around the world. We are all determined to bring more success to this club.
"The club has always shown faith in me and I'm very grateful for that. We have gone through fantastic periods and also periods where we have had to stick together.
"Every time when that togetherness was tested I got the right response. I think I have shown some loyalty as well towards this club and hopefully we can make some more history. I am sure we can."
Arsenal led the Premier League for much of last season before fading to fourth, good enough to secure Champions League football for a 17th successive year.
Sustained Excellence
"Sustained excellence is the hardest thing to achieve in sport and the fact Arsenal has competed at the top of the game in England and Europe throughout the time Arsene has been manager, is the ultimate testimony to his consistency of performance, talent and ambition," Arsenal's majority shareholder Stan Kroenke said.
"We are delighted with the FA Cup success which has added to his already outstanding record. Under his guidance we look forward to adding more trophies in future seasons."
A virtual unknown when he joined the club in October 1996, Wenger, dubbed The Professor, oversaw a revolution in the way Arsenal played and led them to league and cup doubles in 1997-98 and 2001-02.
Three more trophies followed in the next three seasons, including the 2003-04 title as Arsenal became the first side to go through a Premier League season without defeat.
After FA Cup glory in 2005 and a Champions League final appearance the following year, financial constraints imposed by the club's move from Highbury to the Emirates Stadium meant Arsenal were unable to match the high transfer fees and big wages offered by Chelsea and Manchester City.

9 Tips For A Happy Marriage According To "The Honeymooners"
They may have squabbled for years, but Ralph and Alice Kramden just expressed affection in a different way.
1. Occasionally throw a sandwich at your spouse.
In the episode "A Matter of Record," Ralph finds out he has the measles and tells Alice to stay away so she doesn't get sick. She tosses him steak and tells him she loves him on her way out the door. Classy.
2. Solve every fight by making-out.
For a show that aired during the 1950s, there was a surprising amount of physical affection between the two leads.
3. Dance like there's no tomorrow.
Jackie Gleason did physical comedy so well that Ralph seemed surprisingly light on his feet for such a big guy.
4. Be patient if your partner chooses to look like a cross-dressing robot.
Ralph, a bus driver, was always coming up with one hairbrained scheme or another to make a lot of money fast. They were, unsurprisingly, less than successful.
5. Say things like "One of these days…POW! Right in the kisser!" or "BANG, ZOOM! Straight to the moon!" when irritated.
Ralph was always saying sort of scary (but famous) things when Alice annoyed him. These empty threats are an effective way to let off steam (if they're just empty).
6. To men: Cry.
Ralph was actually a huge softy and had way more bark than bite. He could break down around Alice and he knew it'd be okay.
7. To women: Be a total bitch.
Even though Ralph was always freaking out at Alice, it was mostly because she always let Ralph know who was the boss and he didn't like it (though, let's face it, he probably loved it).
8. After making a mistake, compare yourself to shellfish.
Even though Ralph messed up a lot, he admitted it when he was wrong.
9. Just be REALLY REALLY nice every once in a while.
You'll have a lifetime of happiness!

Beaumont/Port Arthur
After a vehicle pursuit and a foot chase, police arrested a man suspected of breaking into cars in the 2200 block of Broadway Street in Beaumont on Feb. 25 at about 3:25 a.m.
Mardi Gras season is upon us, and there's no bigger party than the annual Mardi Gras Southeast Texas in downtown Port Arthur beginning Thursday, Feb. 27, through Sunday, March 2. If you've never witnessed Mardi Gras Southeast Texas, these fine folks know how to throw a party since they've been doing it for 20-plus years now — 22 to be exact.
Hundreds of gallons of gumbo were boiled up Saturday, Feb.
The Jefferson County Fugitive Warrants Division requests the public's assistance in locating wanted felon, 22-year-old Shawn David Dages.
For the past nine years, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services' Prom Project has made dreams come true for hundreds of high-school-age foster kids in Southeast Texas who might otherwise never attend one of the most memorable nights of their lives.
And this year was no different. With at least 600 dresses, thousands in donations from area businesses and a small army of volunteers, this year's Prom Project ensured area foster kids would have a prom night to remember.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event.

2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Release
The Jeep Wrangler is slated for a full redo for the 2015 or 2016 model year and Manley believes that would be the ideal time to introduce the Wrangler diesel. There is no better time to introduce a new engine option than with the launch of a new generation of the model (just like what they did with the new Grand Cherokee) and with the growth of diesel passenger vehicles sales in the US – it would make good sense for Jeep to offer their two best vehicles with this powerful, efficient and clean diesel technology.
Now that there is a good chance that the 2015 Jeep Wrangler will have a diesel option, the question shifts to just what engine the Wrangler would feature. The 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2013 Ram 1500 will both be offered with the new 3.0L V6 turbo diesel engine and should Chrysler go with that engine; the new diesel Wrangler would likely amount to the most powerful Wrangler ever. Currently, the most powerful Wrangler engine is the Pentastar V6 with 285 horsepower and 265lb-ft of torque. The new 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 in the Grand Cherokee offers 240 horsepower and 420lb-ft of torque so there is no doubt that the EcoDiesel would make for one seriously powerful and seriously fun off road monster. More importantly, the EcoDiesel would likely offer incredible fuel economy in the lightweight Wrangler while also affording the 2015 Wrangler more towing capabilities than ever before.
The next possible engine for the 2015 Jeep Wrangler diesel model would be the new 3.0L inline 4 cylinder being utilitzed in the upcoming 2014 Ram ProMaster commercial van. This engine offers only 174 horsepower and 295lb-ft of torque but the 4 cylinder construction may offer weight savings over the V6 EcoDiesel that would allow the Wrangler to handle itself a little better on road and off.
Finally, the Jeep Wrangler is currently offered with a diesel engine in Europe in the form of a 2.8L 4 cylinder mill built by VM Motori that produces 197 horsepower and 340lb-ft of torque so this engine falls between the two diesels already slated for US use. Like the ProMaster's 3.0L 4 cylinder engine, this VM Motori diesel could offer weight savings over the 3.0L V6 turbo diesel from the Grand Cherokee and Ram 1500. Plus, the company already knows that this motor will fit nicely into the Wrangler engine bay. That is, of course, ahead of the 2015 or 2016 refresh of the Wrangler that could change everything.
The fact that you have to know about the existence of rumor about the use of diesel engine in 2015 jeep wrangler is that it is actually something that still remains unclear. In other words, it can be said that it is still remain a pure rumor until now and no one can really proof that it is really true. The main starter that makes the rumor spreads seems to be the announcement that the 2016 series of this car will also receive the same engine option. The difference is that it is already confirmed that the 2016 will really receive the diesel engine. Maybe people get curious about whether or not this engine will adorn the 2015 series.
Other than the rumor about the use of diesel engine in the 2015 series of Jeep Wrangler, there is still another rumor that has relation to the kind of engine. The rumor is that this car series is mentioned to have excellent fuel economy is the diesel engine is really applied. Future cars, including the ones that will be released in near future, seem to have better and even better fuel economy feature. If this feature is really included in the future car, it is so certain that this car will be considered more by nowadays buyers because they tend to choose vehicle with better fuel economy that is certainly also friendlier to nature. Even it sounds to be so great, still it is a rumor and we need to wait for further official information to know about 2015 jeep wrangler.
2015 jeep wrangler is strongly rumored to have diesel engine that is also predicted to have excellent fuel economy. If this engine is really applied, it is so certain that this car is a good option to choose in 2015.

NBA Finals Game 1 Preview & Pick: Heat at Spurs
- Updated: June 4, 2014
The first NBA Finals rematch in 16 years begins on Thursday night when the San Antonio Spurs host Game 1 against the Miami Heat. The NBA also returns to the 2-2-1-1-1 format for the first time since 1984 and that could play a role with two veteran teams having endured the grind of the postseason. This series is filled with superstars, deep benches, and two of the most efficient teams in the league. The best team in the NBA this season will truly be decided by who wins this series. The Spurs are a four-point favorite for Game 1 on Thursday.
Home-court advantage may be the deciding factor in this series as the Spurs and Heat are a combined 17-1 at home. The Spurs enter this series shooting 50.6 percent at home and the Heat led all playoff teams at 50.9 percent. The Heat are also leading the pack in road shooting at 48.4 percent, while the Spurs are pack towards the middle of the pack at 45.4 percent. The Spurs shot below 40 percent from the floor in two of the three games in Oklahoma City in their last series.
The big three for each team, with Tony Parker, Tim Duncan, and Manu Ginobli for the Spurs, and Lebron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh for the Heat, are going to be productive and are going to get their points, assists, and rebounds, but the supplementary players will go a long way in deciding a winner. The Spurs have outscored their opponents by 1.52 points per possession with Danny Green on the floor, which is the best rate in the league. Green has played strong defense and is shooting over 48 percent from three-point range. Kawhi Leonard has the best plus-minus of any player at +111. Only one player, Marco Belinelli, has been a minus player for the Spurs.
The Heat, meanwhile, have gotten plenty of contributions from their bench guys as well. With Ray Allen on the floor, the Heat have scored a playoff-best 1.197 points per possession. Rashard Lewis had the best plus-minus of any player in the conference finals and Chris Andersen has had the largest jump in defensive rebounding from the regular season to the postseason.
These two teams faced off twice during the regular season and the home team was victorious each time. Last year's NBA Finals went the full seven games as the Heat prevailed. Tony Parker had an off series, shooting just 11-of-42 outside the paint. Dwyane Wade was a factor last season, but for all the wrong reasons, as the Spurs outscored the Heat with Wade on the floor and did just the opposite with Wade on the bench.
Looking to Game 1, the Spurs have never lost the first game of the NBA Finals and a Lebron James-led Heat team has never won a road Game 1. San Antonio has won Game 1 in the Finals by an average of more than 10 points per game. These are not only the two best teams in the NBA today, but have been for quite some time. Since the start of the 2005 Playoffs, the Spurs led the NBA with 92 playoff wins and the Heat are second with 89. The next closest teams have 59.
The Spurs are 11-3 at home in NBA Finals History, while the Heat are just 4-7 on the road. The Spurs are 4-0 in the NBA Finals when they have home-court advantage. However, the Heat are 2-0 in the NBA Finals when they start the series on the road, and they lost Game 1 both times.
Entering this series, the Spurs are 9-1 straight up and 7-3 against the spread at home with a streak of seven straight home covers. The Spurs have been favored in all 10 games at home. The Heat are 4-3 straight up on the road and 4-3 against the spread. Game 5 in Indianapolis snapped a string of 14 consecutive games as a favorite for the Heat, however, they opened a favorite. Game 1 of the NBA Finals will mark the first time the Heat are an opening line underdog since April 14.
Including the postseason, the Spurs are 27-24 against the spread at home and the Heat are 23-24-1 on the road. The Spurs are 4-0 ATS in their last four as a favorite, however, they are 0-4 in their last four as a favorite of 0.5-4.5 points. They are 7-0 ATS in their last seven as a favorite of 5.0-10.5 points, so keep an eye on the line movement if you believe in trends. The Spurs are 15-7 ATS in their last 22 in the NBA Finals.
The Heat are 0-4-1 ATS in their last five as an underdog of 0.5-4.5 points. Rest has been good to the veteran Heat, as they are 5-1 ATS in their last six on three or more days of rest. The road has not been good to the Heat. They are just 1-5 ATS in their last six as a road underdog.
For totals bettors, the Game 1 total is currently at 198.5. The over was 4-1 in the last five games of last season's Spurs-Heat NBA Finals. The over is 17-7 in San Antonio's last 24 as a favorite of 0.5-4.5 points. The Spurs have also turned momentum into offense as the over is 8-3 in their last 11 following a win and 7-3 in their last 10 after scoring 100 or more points in their previous game. The over is 7-2 in Miami's last nine overall and 19-7-1 in their last 27 games played on three or more days rest. The over is 4-1-1 in Miami's last six as an underdog in the playoffs.
Free NBA Pick: San Antonio Spurs
This series projects to go seven games because neither team loses at home. The Spurs have been dominant at home since Game 7 of the first round against Dallas. The time off has allowed both teams to rest up injuries and nobody needed the time off more than Tony Parker. Coming off a lackluster performance in last season's Finals loss to the Heat, expect Parker to have a big game for the Spurs in an attempt to set the tone for the rest of the series. The Spurs have shot so much better at home than they have on the road and that confidence will come through in Game 1.

Holidays are typically slow time for home sales, but some agents suggest staying in the game
Buyers also may deal with the challenges of bidding against cash buyers and investors, who can look more attractive than traditional buyers.
Their share of the homebuying market has remained strong. Almost 28 percent of total homes sold in October were purchased by absentee buyers, many of whom are investors. That's up from 27 percent logged a year ago and in September.
Hovering near the peak, almost one-third of buyers bought with cash in October.
"I'm expecting 60 to 70 people at my open house," said San Diego Realtor Miguel Contreras before a recent Wednesday showing at a property in La Mesa. "The property is a fixer, so it's mostly investors."
Contreras, who worked during Thanksgiving week, said he'll make himself available throughout the holidays to cater to what he expects to be a continued interest from investors, cash buyers and traditional buyers.
The same goes for Cherilyn Jones, another local real estate agent. Last week, she was preparing for two new listings to come online. Her most common clients are first-time homebuyers and investors.
"The investors have not slowed down," Jones said. "We get holiday freeze, but not for investor clients. It's hard to find them properties because their criteria is very, very specific ... and the deals are not as good as they used to be."

The Lumineers
"Wesley Schultz, 9, who wants to be an artist, said, 'I spend a lot of time on my drawings and it turns out good 'cause I've been practicing a lot.'" -The New York Times, 3/15/92
Twenty years ago, Wesley Schultz saw the future. Back then, growing up in the New York City suburb of Ramsey, New Jersey, Wesley spent his days drawing side by side with his best friend, Josh Fraites. Today, as bandleader of The Lumineers, Wesley's replaced his pencil with a guitar, his drawings with songs, and plays side by side with Joshua's younger brother Jeremiah. He still practices a lot, and it still turns out good. But The Lumineers' story didn't come so easily.
It begins in 2002, the year Jeremiah's brother, Josh, died from a drug overdose at 19. Amidst the loss and grief, Wes and Jer found solace in music, writing songs and playing gigs around New York. After battling the city's cutthroat music scene and impossibly high cost of living, the two decided to expand their horizons. They packed everything they owned—nothing more than a couple suitcases of clothes and a trailer full of musical instruments—and headed for Denver, Colorado. It was less a pilgrimage than act of stubborn hopefulness.
The first thing they did in Denver was place a Craigslist ad for a cellist, and the first person to respond was Neyla Pekarek, a classically trained Denver native. As a trio, they began playing at the Meadowlark, a gritty basement club where the city's most talented songwriters gathered every Tuesday for an open mic and dollar PBRs. Neyla softened Wes and Jer's rough edges while expanding her skills to mandolin and piano. And so The Lumineers sound took shape; an amalgam of heart-swelling stomp-and-clap acoustic rock, classic pop, and front-porch folk.
In 2011, an eponymous, self-recorded EP led to a self-booked tour, and before long The Lumineers started attracting devout fans, first across the Western US, then back in their old East Coast stamping grounds. Young, old and in-between, they're drawn by songs like "Ho Hey" and "Stubborn Love," Americana-inflected barnburners in the vein of the Avett Brothers and Mumford & Sons. They're drawn by songs like "Slow it Down" and "Dead Sea," slow, sultry ballads that suggest the raw revelations of Jeff Buckley and Ryan Adams.
They're drawn by the live Lumineers experience—a coming-together in musical solidarity against isolation, adversity, and despair. The roots revival of the last few yeas has primed listeners for a new generation of rustic, heart-on-the-sleeve music—the kind that nods to tradition while setting off into uncharted territory.
The Lumineers walk that line with an unerring gift for timeless melodies and soul-stirring lyrics. It will all be on display soon, on the band's first full-length album, due in March. Born out of sorrow, powered by passion, ripened by hard work, The Lumineers have found their sound when the world needs it most.

Father Leonel Narvaez Op-Ed Published by Eureka Street
Father Leonel Narvaez takes on the challenge of writing about a complex issue at depth. His op-ed for Eureka Street begins with the difficulties of establishing peace after 54,000 Colombia insurgents agreed to cooperate with the Commission of Reparation and Reconciliation. Narvaez goes on to discuss the necessity for both forgiveness and reconciliation in any progress to a genuine and lasting peace.

Katherine Marshall Op-Ed Published by Eureka Street
With its enticing title of "Men in dresses and conversations about peace" Katherine Marshall's op-ed on the importance of interreligious engagement draws its readers in from the start. But this is a penetrating and rigorous look at dialogue that is, to quote Marshall, "right at the heart of today's global agendas."

Photo posted on Jamie's Phuket Blog.
For nine days on the Thai island of Phuket, while tourists tan on beaches and get massaged, locals are busy walking on hot coals and piercing their cheeks with unlikely objects.
Legend has it that in 1825, members of a Chinese opera troop on tour in Phuket mysteriously fell ill. They recovered after a nine-day period of penitence, during which they fasted and pierced their bodies with sharp objects.
Since then, every year, on the first nine days days of the Chinese lunar calendar, local residents of Taoist faith have organised the "Phuket vegetarian festival", intended to cleanse their bodies and minds.
Jamie is a British expatriate who has lived in Phuket since 1999. He attended several Taoist festivals and posted the photos and this comment on his blog, Jamie's Phuket.
"Some of it is quite gruesome, some is more spiritual"
Post written with France 24 journalist Ségolène Malterre.

Hope everyone has a good start to the month.
Just feel frustrate, I had been given dairy milk the other day in my coffee. took a sip and knew from the taste it was not a non-dairy milk like i'd asked.
the weird thing is that i had a lot of stomach / GI distress. but pre-vegan this kind of pain or discomfort had not happened with milk. i guess if one avoids dairy long enough, one can become lactose-intolerant?
so yes, not feeling well, both physically and emotionally - it's hard to keep inspired when so many around me are not vegan. can anyone relate? how do you handle the feeling of isolation?
Sorry to hear you're not feeling well
There's lots of online support if you don't have many (or any) other vegans in your immediate circle of family and friends.
This discussion forum is a great place to start - everyone here is so welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. I found this forum to be very helpful for me when I was first starting out.
There are also lots of other online vegan "hubs" that you might want to check out:
Colleen Patrick-Goudreau has a fantastic podcast series - when I was a brand-new vegan, I found a lot of useful information and inspiration from these podcasts. It felt kind of like getting really good advice and information from an older sister or a good friend.http://www.compassionatecook.com/publications/food-for-thought-podcast
Alicia Silverstone has a site called "The Kind Life".http://thekindlife.com/
If you're interested in sports (or just being active), you might like the discussion forum on the nomeatathlete.com website:http://community.nomeatathlete.com/Discussions/tabid/95/Default.aspx
There are also lots of vegan-themed groups on Facebook.
You might also want to look at vegan groups/associations in your city. You might be surprised - there are lots of vegan groups in cities of all sizes. Or if you can't find anything, you could possibly even start one. It can be really great to have a sense of community.
If there are any vegetarian/vegan restaurants in your city, you could also ask the staff if they know of any local groups.
Anyway, I hope this list helps - and I hope you feel better soon!
Hi, I'm sorry to hear about your troubles.
I find this forum helps a lot. As does the Engine 2 forum (http://engine2extra.com). There's a small fee for the Engine 2 forum but it's well worth it.
I think the president of the Vegetarian Society of DC is an Indian vegan. He may be able to give you some good advice specific to Indian culture. Perhaps contact their headquarters and ask if you can speak to him: email@example.com http://www.vsdc.org/keyvolunteers.html.
I hope you feel better soon.
My goodness, what I wouldn't give to not have any vegans around me. Enjoy it while it lasts, Kittens.

Installing Fonts on KDE
A well chosen font is the perfect addition to your
Linux experience. KDE provides a number of tools
that help you cook up a really tasty alphabet soup
with very little effort.
Gone are the days when you
needed a degree in computer
science to install new fonts in
Linux. In fact, installing fonts in Linux
became child's play when KDE went to
version 3.
To install fonts in KDE, simply pop up
a Konqueror window by pressing
[Alt]+[F2] and typing konqueror, then
type the fonts:/ URL in the location box.
Now copy the fonts from any folder to
your Personal directory to make them
available to programs (see Figure 1).
There is no need to relaunch the GUI or
KDE. As an alternative, you can right
click and use the context menu to save
launching a second Konqueror window.

Hello.Hope you are doing well today! I must admit,I came to this KORN party 'WAY' late.I became a KORN fan January of 2010.I was 47 years old.Just goes to show it's never to late and you're never too old to become a KORN fan. Of course most of you must realize I got my KORN nickname from 'Twisted Transistor'.There are many reasons I connect to this song.I want to stick to the lighter ,funnier side. You see when I was growing up in the 60's and 70's a lot of people thought 'Rock and Roll' was very evil. If I were caught listening to that 'hard rock' I would get in big trouble.So,I would wait for my big ass baby boomer family to all leave the house,and there I was tuning into the Rock station listening to my 'Twisted Transistor'.Wasn't I evil? So this was me always liking that evil music. So, 2010 rolls around and I find this most incredible band called 'KORN'.I start sharing this with my people.My people have not listened to KORN ,but they have heard how evil they are and how evil their music is.(Talk about laughing my ass off.)So here I am again,listening to my 'Twisted Transistor' I just 'can't get enough'..I am 'out of control'..I should be 'anesthetized '. As for me and what I see and believe, KORN lyrics are brilliant and speak the truth and it is accompanied buy kick ass rock music. If listening to KORN makes me evil,then I am very,very evil.In fact I must be 'devils little sister'.My saving grace is my 'Husband' understands me, and the'Music do,music do'. Love, Hugs,Kisses and Prayers, devils little sister
So excited for my fellow KORN fans that are lucky enough to indulge in this concert!I I hope you all have the most amazing time!LOVE YOU all!

I was always a skinny kid. I could eat anything and everything I wanted and I still never gained weight. When I joined the Marine Corps at eighteen, I was still stick-thin. In fact, I came THISCLOSE to being put on double-rations while in Boot Camp to fatten me up. For nearly four years, I ate calorie-heavy food, drank crazy amounts of alcohol, and rarely gained an ounce. I credit a turbo-charged metabolism and nonstop Marine Corps physical training.
Unfortunately, after leaving the Marine Corps, I continued to eat and drink the same way for many years. What I didn't continue was the physical fitness training. And year after year, meal after meal, my body began to change. It was subtle at first, but weight gain was inevitable. I gained a couple of pounds each year, and by my mid-thirties, I could no longer pretend that everything was fine. But I didn't really know a way to turn it around.
In late 2005, a friend surprised me with a 5K while we were together in Chicago. It was my first and I finished, and it got me thinking about my health and fitness levels. I spent the next year off-and-on at the gym and managed to lose a bit of weight. In January of 2007, I was diagnosed with Pertussis. (It's the adult version of Whooping Cough, and yes, I did feel like a 17th century peasant with the Plague.) For nearly one hundred days, I coughed. I could barely move, let alone workout. And even after I recovered, I didn't feel like doing anything healthy. I was angry at having been sick for so long and resigned to a life of being overweight.
You would be right if you credit them for waking me up from my mental funk. But it didn't happen the way you might think. They didn't make me feel fat or bad about myself. Quite the opposite, in fact. They helped me remember the person I used to be, the young Marine who was fearless and funny and passionate about life. They helped me see that I was still that person; I just needed to reach out and take control of my life again.
And I did. I had been a member of SparkPeople.com (a free health and fitness website) for over a year, but I had never really explored the site. Now, though, I began checking in every single day. I read articles, took quizzes, joined teams, and started blogging.
I also made a commitment to myself that I would be perfect - yep, perfect - but just until I got myself back under 200 pounds. That meant no alcohol, no fast food, no desserts and no eating out. It meant going to the gym and working out every single day, no exceptions. I knew it wasn't something I could live with forever, but I could definitely do it long enough to drop 20+ pounds.
Since then, I have run nearly a dozen half marathons and I have another full marathon coming up. I have found a balance in my life, eating and being active while indulging from time to time in my favorite foods and drinks.
Looking back, I understand why my first attempt in weight loss in 2005 didn't work. I was all about the physical, and I completely ignored what was happening in my mind and in my heart. I didn't just eat because I was hungry. I ate because I was sad and lonely and depressed. And that doesn't just go away on its own, no matter how much weight you lose.
I don't judge my success by my weight. Instead, I think of the miles I've run, the races I've completed, the challenges I have met... and most importantly, the relationships and friendships I have made along this journey.
I struggled along the way. I still struggle sometimes. But I am proof that anyone with a plan and a will to work for it can go from couch potato to marathoner. Join me as I continue to make my life an adventure.

Driving 1000 miles in a Toyota GT86…
…in just 36 hours. How does our Speed Week champion fare as a mile-muncher?
Posted: 10 Sep 2012
Still, the tight-hugging sports seats remain remarkably comfortable throughout, and with time ticking on I'm grateful for the French people's impeccable motorway manners: approach in outside lane, indicate to the central reservation, and to a monsieur et madame they pull over. One worry about the car is dispelled: the torque proves enough to get past all comfortably while staying legal.
Well, until Paris. Given its idiosyncracies to date, I'm concerned at how the sat nav is going to handle the Paris periphique, which could have been designed as the ultimate stress test for any GPS system. A cacophonous, confusing and narrow series of tunnels and flyovers, with undertaking bikers and diesel-belching HGVs leaving inches of give as they career past, I need a solid virtual wingman to see me through.

Z-Hat Custom, Stock Duplicator
We have a Master Carver 10-2, two spindle stock duplicator. We accept both individual and batch orders. This pantograph is capable of making two stocks at the same time, but can be used for single copies as well.
There are patterns on hand for most popular bolt actions, and a huge selection of two piece stocks as well. It is also possible to use the take-off stock from your gun as a pattern, or it can be modified to deliver the shape your looking for. Of course setting up your original as a pattern is hard on the stock, we only do this is your willing to sacrifice the stock.
Broken stocks can be glued together to make a pattern. This is often necessary if you had an unusual or rare stock that cannot be purchased from a wood supplier.
We have been making and modifying our own patterns for years, this saves a lot of time. Patterns can be quickly modified to provide the client with the details and or shape they need.
Contact us with your questions about these services. No two jobs for this machine are really the same so we need to discuss the project with you to determine what will be involved in your job.

Do you think men who hate their mothers...are guys to avoid dating?
What do you think it says about a man if he resents/hates/has a bad relationship with his own mom? would you take this as a red flag? someone said... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
It depends on whether or not their mother actually deserves the hate. If she was a lazy alcoholic who didn't take care of him properly growing up, then obviously he has his reasons and that wouldn't really be a red flag to me in and of itself. But sometimes situations like that can just turn people rotten but that's another story.
However, if his mother tried to raise him properly and obviously cares about him and he still hates her, then yeah that definitely sets off some red flags. Especially if he's mean and/or disrespectful toward her. If a man can't even love his mother, then odds are he won't really love any other woman either.
What Guys Said 5
A guy who is too distant or too close to his mother, you might want to understand _why_.
I know a guy who hates his mother because he feels she's the reason his parents marriage ended because she asked for the divorce (for good reason and he knows all the reasons/abuse/infidelity) but he thinks she should have sucked it up and kept the family together. I think that's one to avoid...I just never really thought about it until it came up and then I was like "oh yeah...that might be a red flag to consider" of course taking into account why like you suggested
- Show Older Hide Older
A lot of married women with kids seem to be able to become less wild but still bring plenty of crazy. Winning combination :/
maybe they're crazy out of boredom not because they're actually wild? that's an entirely different animal. sometimes unwild women create chaos cause they get a rush out of the drama. Wild women never have time to get bored lol
Generally speaking, men who have good relationships with their mothers are more likely to make good partners, but there are exceptions. Case in point, I had a friend who dated a guy who was a bit of a mama's boy, and yet he was an absolute dirtbag. I have another friend from college who doesn't get along terribly well with his mother, but he's a really great guy.
no it depends on what there mother was like. my mom was very cold uncareing and munipltive. I was hurt in the worst way you can hurt kid when I was a kid over and over agin from 6 to age 8 by a babysitter my mom told me to forget it happend nouthing would be done about it since it was a 18 year old girl that did it and her mom was my moms best friend to this day I will not let older women tuch me. my mother forsed me to do sports I hated it I had to do outher things I did not like to make her look good and god for bid I messed up my dad was not around much he was in the navy. so to anwser your qustion no if a guy dose not like or hate his mother its not a bad thing.
i don't like my mom at she is gone now she passed in 1997 when I was 19 but I never hated her
Did you get any help for the trauma you suffered? you probably need to deal with it even though it's been awhile because it doesn't ever really go away it just manifests itself in different ways through your life. Sorry that happened to you and I'm sorry your mom didn't protect you. I would hate a parent who didn't protect me but that doesn't mean that it didn't affect the way you see women and I think it would be good for you to be able to work that relationship through even though she is gone.
- Show Older Hide Older
its taken 26 years to come clean about it I am 34 and I am a single dad of 2 I will do any thing to protect them I would do the same for any kid
i will not go in to detail what was done to me but its was evel and sicking
What Girls Said 3
I wouldn't necessarily see it as a red flag, but I would certainly want to know the reasons why. I think you can tell a lot about a person based on their relationship with their family.
that's what's interesting about it to me. I never really saw it as a red flag but once I thought about it I thought maybe it is something to consider? if he has a bad relationship with the one woman who is closest to him what would that mean with his other female relationships that are intimate and close? Just thought it was an interesting observation. I almost don't see how it wouldn't affect his other female relationships maybe not always in a negative way but it would affect them.
I think it depends on the situation. But in most situations yes.
I think it does sound kind of unfair to label guys with mommy issues as potential problems but also for how many years have girls with daddy issues been labeled that way (and for a lot for good reason I will say) I think the mommy issues just manifest in different ways that are just as destructive to a relationship it's just more under the radar and not so in your face.
Have an opinion?

We have two shelf elves who like to get into Christmas michief: a boy and a girl. They are both into something all of the time from the morning after Thanksgiving until Christmas day. While the boy is a little rascal, the girl occasionally does some sweet things. We got our elves at Amazon.com for about $30 a piece. They come with a book and you can register them online at elfontheshelf.com. You can also get the elves at http://elfontheshelf.com/SantasStore.aspx
Here's my ongoing list of Elf Shenanigans to keep the fun going throughout the Christmas season. Since there are two, the impish pair often get into devilment together. But sometimes, they go their separate ways, stirring up trouble while my son Joel is sleeping at night.
1. Tape toilet paper across bedroom door like crime-scene tape, so that Joel will have to break through it to get out
2. Snowball fight with marshmallows
3. Taking photos of themselves with Mom's good camera
4. Make flour snow angels on the countertop or play in a box of fake snow we have
5. Hanging from a light fixture with a candy-filled cane
6. Eating candy off the gingerbread house
7. Taking the TP and running with it throughout the bathroom and living room
8. Read something on the Kindle
9. Load and play a Christmas game on the iPad
10. Play a new board game (this is good for Friday – so we can play the game during Family night)
11. Drive Mom's car (maybe leaving it outside of the garage)
12. Make a mess fixing hot cocoa with marshmallows. They leave little cocoa footprints on the counter.
13. Eat Christmas cookies (they are messy eaters)
14. Make a fuzzy sock hammock between candlesticks to sleep on
15. Tie Joel's tennis shoes together
16. Build a zipline with a candy cane. String can hang from tree to fireplace or across Joel's loft bed.
17. Play Christmas music on piano
18. Listen to Christmas tunes on the iPod
19. Pull all of Joel's underpants out of his drawer and hang them up all over his room and the living room
20. Play with legos and other toys, leaving a mess
21. Leave a note or a letter from Santa
22. Load photos onto the family computer
23. Fill the bathtub with white balloons
24. Open someone's gift
25. Wrap a gift but leave the scissors, tape, wrapping paper out and about
26. Ride the Christmas train
27. Hang a new wreath on Joel's door
28. Hang a new ornament on the tree
29. Leave a bag of holiday Kisses or M&M's on Joel's desk
30. Pack a fun lunch for Joel to take to school
31. Dress up in costumes (doll clothes or things they make themselves with paper/scissors/fabric)

Senator Magnus Abe representing Rivers South-east senatorial district in the National Assembly has said he will continue to prioritise the welfare of the people in his legislative agenda.
He disclosed this while inspecting a water project he donated to traders at the Nchia market in Alode, Eleme Local Government Area of Rivers State.
Accompanied by some members of the state House of Assembly and council chairmen from the senatorial district, Abe, who used the forum to list some welfare packages so far initiated, said: "Apart from providing water, we've given scholarship and financial assistance to students in institutions of learning to lessen the financial burden on parents."
"This water project is an intervention; just a small intervention for the people around here, our constituency projects for this year are in University of Port Harcourt and Rivers State University of Science and Technology where we are building blocks to improve the quality of education. We have also attracted MDG projects to the District.
"We cannot deny that your votes have propelled us to a level where we see things more than you see and we get more than you do; so, whatever we are getting will be shared with the less privileged in keeping with our commitment, that our being in the senate will not benefit just us and our friends but the ordinary people in the senatorial district," he said.
Abe, who thanked the chairman of Eleme Local Government Area, Hon. Oji Ngofa, for drawing his attention to the need for water in the market, emphasised that, "there are little things we can do in our communities that don't cost so much money but would help a lot of people.
According to him, "if we have information on things like that we would be glad to assist our communities in whatever way that brings us closer to the people, so that's what we are doing here. I am grateful."
Responding, a traditional ruler in the area, Emere D.O.N. Awala, expressed gratitude to Abe for the water project and assured him of their support.
"I have to thank the Senator for putting this borehole here for us. Like as he has said it's not part of his constituency project but he thought it wise and proper to do that I'm very grateful to you; I know and believe that God will propel you to do more for us," he said.

i'd have to agree, but he indicated that woody has had just a very few
updates in the past couple of months, which is about right. bug fixes
for ssh and stuff associated with the zlib double free bug and the like.
very strange.
bill, if you can tell me the name (and new version) of any package that
got updated last night, maybe we can figure out what happened. rick's
idea seems plausible, but 200 packages... you must have last updated the
system a looong time ago!

Darren Criss on Klaine Marriage Proposal: Is It a Finale Cliffhanger?
Blaine (Darren Criss) has made up his mind to propose to his ex-boyfriend, Kurt (Chris Colfer), in Glee's Season 4 finale — despite the fact that Kurt's dad thinks the entire thing is a terrible idea.
But with all the recent developments in marriage equality, Darren Criss tells The Hollywood Reporter that Blaine is just so excited about the idea that he can get married, he's not exactly considering the long-term consequences.
"We're obviously miles, if not light years ahead of where we were as little as five years ago and Blaine gets wrapped up in that. He really wants to be a part of it, though I think he's a bit young," Darren says.
So will Kurt say yes to his ex's proposal? Darren wouldn't say, but he did point out that a marriage proposal isn't really the sort of thing Kurt would see coming. "I don't think Kurt knows. I don't think Kurt knows so we'll see. I've yet to know that. I don't know. We'll see. We'll see how he reacts."
Wait. If the episode has already been filmed, how is it possible that Darren doesn't know how Kurt will respond?
As it turns out, Darren says he and Chris filmed a couple of endings, and he's not sure what actually made it into the finished episode. That said, he recognizes that the wait for Kurt's answer certainly could be one of the "many cliffhangers" that Glee creator Ryan Murphy promised fans were coming.
"I don't know if it will be a cliffhanger. I don't know how they're going to cut it. We shot a variety of different things and I don't know what they're going to use."

Herman Miller, Inc., Announces the Twist LED Task Light by Yves Béhar
June 08, 2009
Herman Miller, Inc., the office furniture manufacturer that strives for a better world around you, introduces Twist, a new LED undershelf light designed by Yves Béhar.
Twist is Herman Miller's new, energy-efficient, eco-friendly undershelf LED light for systems furniture that provides value, simplicity, and personal control for office workers.
The company's problem-solving approach to invent solutions that improve the human experience comes from its passion for the health and well-being of its customers and employees. Designing products with consideration for their environmental impact remains a central corporate strategy.
Béhar is the founder of fuseproject, an integrated design firm dedicated to the development of the emotional experience of brands through story-telling.
The collaborative relationship between Béhar and Herman Miller began with the groundbreaking energy-efficient LED technology in the Leaf personal light. Béhar describes his lighting design projects for Herman Miller as a "fusion of technology with humanity." For a company like Herman Miller, he is a key innovation partner who understands the mix of problem-solving and creativity. He is also the designer of the Ardea personal light.
"New technologies are driving a fundamental shift in the way people think about lighting," says Béhar. "With LEDs in particular, their incredible efficiency, extremely small form factor and minimal maintenance requirements are changing the way people conceive of, design, and integrate lighting into the built environment." States such as California are advocating new regulations to enforce higher energy efficiency standards in the workplace, and other states will soon follow suit. Worldwide, new legislation will drive large scale interest in efficient office lighting solutions, both for new construction as well as retrofit projects.
Twist offers low power consumption and low maintenance, achieved through LED chips. It delivers an appropriate amount of light with 40-50 percent less energy consumption than traditional undershelf lighting sources. It supplies 60,000 hours of light, or 24 years of light (at 10 hours per day for a five-day work week). And it's recyclable at end of life.
"With its reduced energy consumption and lack of hazardous materials, Twist can help organizations achieve LEED certification. Low energy consumption decreases facilities and maintenance costs and reduces CO2 levels, which positively impacts the environment," says product manager Matt Sall.
With its sleek, refined form, it was designed to reduce waste throughout its life cycle—requiring minimal packaging and allowing for more efficient shipping methods. And it is easy to specify and install: It comes in one size and one color, with a simple magnet fixture for attaching under a shelf.
Employers are realizing that creating flexible, individually-customizable environments empower people, increase job satisfaction and ultimately boost productivity. Twist empowers workers to control the light's position (with its easy-to-move magnets) and the light's angle (with its intuitive tab adjustment)—a significant benefit with the rise of Computer Vision Syndrome—an increasing ergonomic issue caused by glare generated on backlit surfaces.
Twist demonstrates Herman Miller's leadership in innovation, performance, and sustainability by using fewer raw materials and providing a lighting solution that's efficient to operate and maintain. Its design is compatible with all Herman Miller and most competitive office furniture systems.
Twist has a list price of $369 and carries a 5-year warranty.
About Herman Miller, Inc.
Herman Miller works for a better world around you-—with inventive designs, technologies, and related services that improve the human experience wherever people work, heal, learn, and live. Its curiosity, ingenuity, and design excellence create award-winning products and services, resulting in more than $2 billion in revenue in fiscal 2008. Innovative business practices and a commitment to social responsibility have also established Herman Miller as a recognized global company. In 2009, Herman Miller was again cited by FORTUNE as both the "Most Admired" in its industry and among the "100 Best Companies to Work For" in America, while Fast Company named Herman Miller among the innovative "Companies to Watch." Herman Miller trades on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol MLHR.

Maputo — Armed men, believed to be members of Mozambique's main opposition party, the former rebel movement Renamo, abducted and beat up the first secretary of the ruling Frelimo Party, in the central district of Maringue, Andre Madumane, on Wednesday, according to a report in Friday's issue of the independent newsheet "Mediafax".
His captors released Madumane on Thursday afternoon, but his injuries from the savage beating he received are so serious that he is to be taken to Beira Central Hospital for medical treatment.
Maringue used to be a Renamo stronghold, and it was where the rebel movement set up its military headquarters in the final years of the war of destabilisation. But Renamo support in the district has collapsed, and Frelimo won a majority of votes in Maringue in the 2009 general elections.
Madumane was once a Renamo guerrilla, and occupied a senior Renamo position in Maringue. But about five years ago he clashed with the Renamo leadership, particularly with Renamo leader Afonso Dhlakama, and defected to Frelimo.
"Mediafax" reports that ever since his defection Madumane has suffered harassment from Renamo. The daily paper "O Pais", however, suggests that his abduction and beating may be related to the detention of Renamo members found in possession of an 82mm mortar in Maringue in January.
When the police seized the mortar, the Renamo members were allegedly carrying it into the neighbouring district of Gorongosa, where Dhlakama is currently living, surrounded by several hundred demobilised Renamo fighters.
In addition to his post as Frelimo First Secretary in Maringue, Madumane is also a member of the Sofala Provincial Assembly.

Concept and process
Director Bryan Markovitz guides Liminal's creative and production processes. He works with other Liminal members to conceptualize the performance as a written score before it is performed. He also teaches rehearsal techniques in research and accumulation, rules and constraints, and extended-duration. In partnership with the ensemble, Markovitz developed Liminal's signature process of constructing performances with modular and interchangeable units of action that can be arranged in any number of combinations.
The ensemble's approach to performer physicality is based on the work of Movement Director Amanda Boekelheide who has extensive training in physical and vocal performance practices. In collaboration with the ensemble, Boekelheide developed two primary physical techniques used by Liminal—Articulated Physicality and Mutual Physicality. Articulated Physicality develops the performers precise control and expression of physical action through repertoire, composition and improvisational work. Mutual Physicality focuses on partner work through stretching, support principles, group flips and lifts, and basic structures that build ensemble and physical trust.
Sound Director John Berendzen guides the ensemble in developing sound and electronic media that enhances the unique qualities of live performance. Berendzen designs and programs Liminal's media and instructs others in media implementation. He has designed and programmed interactive systems for Liminal projects including barcode scanners that trigger media events, game stations that control mechanical objects in the performance space, and set designs that capture sounds from live performers and process them into complex soundscapes. He also collaborates with Liminal video designers to integrate light media with sound and other electronic elements. As a composer and conductor, John collaborates with musicians to perform live compositions for Liminal.

Adobe to open-source Flash tool Flex
- Related Stories
Adobe's Apollo looks to one-up AjaxMarch 21, 2007
Adobe updates Flash Player, Flex toolJune 27, 2006
The company on Wednesday is expected to announce the move, which will start when it releases a beta of the next version of Flex, code-named Moxie, in June.
By the time Adobe releases the final version of Moxie, which will be called Flex 3, near the end of the year, it expects to have a fully functioning open-source project, company executives said Tuesday. Adobe intends to use the Mozilla Public License.
The company said it will open-source the Flex software development kit, which includes a compiler and libraries designed to speed up development. It plans to continue to sell Flex Builder, an Eclipse-based development tool, and Flex Data Services, server software for accessing corporate databases.
Flex is one of a growing number of alternatives for building so-called rich Internet applications, which sport an interactive front-end interface. Using the development framework, programmers create an application that can run within Adobe's Flash Player or Apollo, its "player" for desktop applications.
The company chose to create an open-source project for the Flex software to garner good ideas and contributions from developers outside Adobe, said Jeff Whatcott, vice president for product marketing at Adobe's enterprise and developer business unit.
The move is also meant to appeal to open-source developers who shun closed-source and proprietary products. Adobe already offers the Flex software development kit for free and provides the source code.
"For some people, (open source) is a philosophical requirement, a sign of integrity and trust in a vendor," Whatcott said. "This will close that gap and address any lingering doubts they have about our openness and commitment to community."
The company is making the transition to open source now because the Flex technology is mature and there is growing interest among developers and rich Internet application development, Whatcott said.
Adobe will initially provide nightly updates of Moxie code and will publish a bug database when the software goes into beta in June. When it is released near the end of the year, Adobe will be able to accept outside contributions.
The move follows Adobe's donation last November of its ActionScript virtual machine to the Mozilla Foundation, the makers of the open-source Firefox browser.
Offering free or open-source development tools has become nearly de rigueur for software vendors. Like many companies, Adobe intends to make money via associated software, like higher-end tools and server software.

- open flash player, too
- yes some developers trust open source, as being "a sign of integrity and trust in a vendor", and freedom too, but let's not forget that the swf runs on top of the flash player, so it's not free(dom), yet...

- misses the point of flash player
- one of the benefits of flash player for developers and businesses is that there is so much market penetration and assurance of certain features. If the flash player goes open source, I don't forsee it being long before alternative flash players start to show up with extra functionality or certain features turned off. That is why it will still be a while before the player is opened up. I don't see it never happening though.
