I once did a new bed with plants inserted through weed suppressant fabric and chipped stones. Despite cutting generous crossed and folding back the fabric, two years later all the plants were gasping for space as they had grown big and strong and wanted room. Removing the stones and the fabric was a nightmare but I did eventually liberate all my plants.
I would suggest a better method would be to mark out your new beds and then apply a dose of glyphosate to kill off any perennial wildfowers and grasses. Once this has worked, dig the soil over adding as much well rotted manure and or garden compost as you can.
Plant your new treasures with enough space in between to hoe any new seedlings and taking into account there eventual height and width. Water them in well so they establish quickly. Keep them watered well until the autumn rains start so they don't get checked by drought. Then it's just a question of hoeing regularly to remove any unwanted seedlings.
Your border should get established quickly if you do the soil preparation right and then spread to cover all the soil. There will always be new weed seeds arriving on the wind or dropped by birds but hoeing will deal with these until there is no bare soil visible for them to set up home.
Milk in a compost heap? It will stink to high heaven and attract rats and other vermin.
The big thick roots anchor the tree. Damage those and you will get instability and a potentially damaging and costly tree fall in a storm. The fine, fibrous ones feed and water the tree. Reducing those will reduce the tree's vigour but only temporarily as they regrow quickly.
Having bought a garden with trees and neighbours it behooves you to work with, rather than against them, especially those belonging to neighbours. For trees in your son's garden, get a tree surgeon to advise whether the whole tree or part of the tree or some of the roots can be safely removed and get them to do the job properly. They and their work should be fully insured and guaranteed. They can also advise you on whether or not the neighbours' trees are too close to buildings or drains and whether or not pruning or removal is advisable. Don't do anything without advice and without checking tree preservation orders and local council policy on trees or you could find yourself with bigger problems down the line. Don't do anything without first talking to your son's neighbours. It's a basic courtesy and he will have to live with them for years so it's best to stay friendly.
As Dove says, you can also use the trees as a design feature and make a shady woodland corner that future grandchildren will love to play in. There are lots of plants that will thrive their and make it beautiful. Have alook here for some ideas - http://www.bethchatto.co.uk/gallery/woodland-garden.htm
As far as I know, Monty doesn't visit these boards.
Haven't watched GW yet but I have a curved puning saw head which fits my Wolf system handles so I can choose whatever length suits the job. The saw makes very short work of banches that are a bit too thick for my loppers and it proved very uesful when my 12 year old parrotia persica was felled by lightening last year and I had to cut thorugh its trunk to remove the carcase.
You can also propagate it like mint. Take a decent stem, strip of fthe lower leaves and put it in a glass of water. Once decent roots from, pot into compost. Do it regularly and you can perpetutae your plants through the year and keep yourself supplied from just one or two plants.
Have you repotted it in proper compost for flowering plants? It may just be short of nutrients.
I like it too. It can self seed when happy but it's easy to pull up unwanted babies. Birds love the seeds but they're no good for humans, pets or livestock. I've never had any problems.
I think 16 inches is a bit mean for a clematis and that 24" or 60cms wide and deep should be a minimum with a mulch of pebbles or expanded clay pellets to retain moisture. A John Innes no 3 would be better for the compost.
However, as I said, they can take a season or two to settle down and get going so be patient but do consider giving it a deeper, wider pot if you can next spring. It flowers best when treated as a group 3 which means you can cut the stems hard back to just above the lowest pair of buds next spring which will make repotting easier.
Plant it 3 or 4 inches deeper than you currently have it as this encourages extra stems to form and thus more flowers. Give it a generous feed of slow release clematis food then and every spring plus weekly top up tonics of tomorite or similar until it starts to flower. Living in a pot makes it entirely dependent on you for food and water.
Not really. Central Belgium so much colder on occasion. I once had a clematis Montana Elizabeth that had spread itself about 10 metres along a fence I had between the veggie plot and the main garden and it was just about to burst into flower when a late spring frost of only -8 or so zapped all the fresh juicy stems and buds and the whole thing died. Same thing happened to a Gothenberg I bought thinking a Swedish one would cope better. No surviving alpinas here either and my cirrhosa bit the dust in 2008 after spending 3 winters hardly flowering at allbut the larger flowered hybrids that start in May do OK and so do lots of group 3s.
I'd love one as it's a lovely looking clematis but, unfortunately, montanas and alpinas don't do for me as a late frost usually gets them and kills them stone dead just when they're about to burst into bloom. Very frustrating.

Late in Game 1 of the 2013 NCAA Baton Rouge Super Regional versus Oklahoma, then sophomore pitcher Aaron Nola looked over to former Tiger first baseman Mason Katz and said, "If we score, we are going to win." In the eighth inning, junior JaCoby Jones blasted a triple to the right-centerfield gap, and a pinch-hit double by Tyler Moore knocked Jones in for the first run of the ball game.

WHAT: Accenture gets six-month extension on HealthCare.gov contract.
WHY: In the midst of a procurement for a new contractor to take over the lead role in developing and managing the Federally Facilitated Marketplace, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services have opted to give incumbent Accenture six more months at the switch to get through the busy open enrollment period.
Open enrollment, which runs from Nov. 15, 2014, through Feb. 2014, is expected to be "a period of high stress on the ACA IT systems, including HealthCare.gov and the associated infrastructure," because of the traffic from millions of visitors expected to sign up for health insurance, switch plans, or extend their current coverage, according to contracting documents posted Sept 2.
"With millions of consumers expected to visit the website during open enrollment, we believe it is unwise to potentially transition the systems development and maintenance to a new provider during the open enrollment timeframe," a CMS spokesperson told FCW via email.
Accenture won a one-year contract on a limited source basis in January 2014 to take over from CGI Federal, which was widely blamed for the disastrous launch of the site in October 2013. Accenture's contract to run the Federally Facilitated Marketplace was initially pegged at $90 million, but has since grown to $175 million according to a July 31 report from the Government Accountability Office. Accenture will now hold the contract until July 10, 2015.
CMS expects to award a new contract next February.

Howard's best not enough to save US World Cup run - 0 Comments
SALVADOR, Brazil — Tim Howard kept the ball out of the net with slides, with dives and with leaps.
He couldn't do it forever.
With the United States trying to reach the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time since 2002, he saved 12 of Belgium's shots in regulation to keep the game scoreless.
But Kevin De Bruyne scored in the 93rd minute and Romelu Lukaku in the 105th to build a two-goal lead for the Red Devils, who hung on for a 2-1 win Tuesday that eliminated the Americans in the second round for the second straight World Cup.
Howard tried to sound modest.

Bentboy Slim
It's fun to watch disasters. It's fun to see country and rap hook up to form "crap", notably in the form of such artists like Cowboy Troy and songs like "Over and Over" by Nelly and Tim McGraw. This, and countless other combinations (opera and new age, anyone?) have been the hilarious tourist traps of the pop-music landscape. Yet every once in awhile, something just clicks. Rock and rap were born to be mixed up together. The countless amount of amateur mashups that go up every day seem to tell us that genre doesn't matter—it's just a matter of knowing what works and what doesn't.
Flash forward to right now. Techno and jazz have been having an odd and surprisingly strong courtship as of late. Verve opened up its vault to techno remixers for its Mixed/Unmixed series, scoring massive hits like Felix Da Housecat's reworking of Nina Simone's "Sinnerman", bringing a classic jazz vocalist to the dancefloor while still making something groovy. 2004's excellent Bird Up compilation had artists as diverse as hip-hop producer El-P, System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian, and the Kronos Quartet deliver fun and drastic reworkings of Charlie Parker songs. All of a sudden, the idea of jazz trumpets bumping next to dancefloor basslines didn't seem so outrageous or blasphemous. Much joy abound.

It was inevitable that, eventually, the gap between classic jazz samples and the drum machine would close, and with Bent Fabric, it has. Original jazz songs and piano given blacklight-pump, ultimately sounding as if Fatboy Slim dropped the rock samples to take on happy jazz ditties, but retaining the same essential sound. Opener "Bam Boogie" is essentially a drum-driven party jam with some keyboard over it, sounding a lot like the similarly-themed Geggy Tah jazz/dance side-project Action Figure Party. Though "Boogie" is ultimately forgettable, it's the obvious single and title-track to this Jukebox LP that carries a bit of infectious energy to it, accomplishing just its goals and nothing more: to be fun and danceable. "Shake" proves to be nothing more than a rewrite of the first two tracks, and it's obvious that the exceptions to the dance-jazz rule prove to be more interesting than the floor-burners themselves.
The very Frou Frou-ish "Just Be There for Me", with scratchy bass and pleasant vocal performance by Nellie Ettison, proves to be one of the best tracks on the album. Even "Alley Cat", Bent Fabric's one stab at true jazz legitimacy with a simple repeatable piano lick, sounds better than all the drum-and-snare bombast that carries away some of the other tracks. When the jazz dominates the drums, like in the excellent instrumental "Blowout", one feels that this is more than just fun background music (the same could be said for the throwback pop of "Everytime"—a song that could have been a '70s R&B hit if not for the modern production).
Is there room to grow? Certainly. Are there serious moments that drag the album down? Nowhere in sight. Though the four remixes included at the end are worthless, ultimately Bent Fabric has crafted a fine debut and a welcome breath to the emerging dance-jazz genre. It's not perfect, but when you find yourself dancing without even realizing it, it doesn't need to be.

There are 6 private schools located in Virginia that offer Mountain Biking as an interscholastic sport.
The main academic building, called "Old Main" today, was the first building constructed on the Miller School of Albemarle's 1,600-acre campus.
Snow on campus is a rare treat. But there is enough snow throughout the winter in the local ski resorts to take students skiing several times a week.
Trinity's Outdoor Education elective is a long-standing tradition which offers students the chance to canoe and kayak, camp, hike, bike, and more -- all while learning to sustain and care for the world around us.

DD has v little in way of references for UCAS - is there any hope?(34 Posts)
Namechanged for this. DD did very well in her GSCEs, and pretty well in AS, despite being diagnosed with clinical depression. She unfortunately got worse at the beginning of this academic year, and despite treatment, is coping reasonably well on a personal level, but not well academically. She is insistent that she wants to keep on with A levels, and apply to university, and has now just about managed to get a UCAS form together.
Unfortunately she apparently has very little in the way of references as she's been absent or has had problems completing work this term. School have been very supportive, but say they can't say what isn't true, and so have written very brief references. DD is still adamant she wants to apply, but says she can't cope if she gets 5 rejections. She's scaled her ambitions down from top ten, and is applying for a range of universities with a range of entry requirements.
I don't mind if she has this year off, next year off, gets through clearing or doesn't go to university at all, as long as she is happy doing it and manages to maintain her mental health.
Can I ask if anyone knows if she has any chance of getting offers? I am going to ring the school and find out if their forecast is as dire as DD says (she doesn't always get the right end of the stick at the moment).
I would like to have some information to give her, other than my own hopelessly out of date experiences.
I thought the strategy of Uni applications was to spread your bets. Have a "if all goes best first option" all the way down to "Oh well if that's all I can get sobeit" 5th choice course. And then there's clearing. I'm no expert, but there was a whole thread (in Higher education, recent) about how tough it is to get Nothing in clearing. It may be harder to get her first choice, but that doesn't mean there's no choice.
Thanks. I will pass that on. She has spread her bets, and we've discussed clearing numerous times, but she regards that as failure (despite fact her brother went through clearing and ended up doing very well).
So what, the thousands of teens who go thru Clearing each year are all failures? Don't be daft. Wouldn't be life be boring if you always got everything you wanted.
Here's thread about offers.
I think you have to think VERY carefully about her going to University at all. Its a very stressful environment and leaving home/being with strangers is never a good option for anyone with active MH issues. Fgs dont even think of Clearing - can you think of anything more stressful than not knowing if/where you are going to Uni until 3 weeks before it starts. G
Pull out of UCAS this year. Let her really concentrate on the A levels and getting the best grades possible without any extra pressure. Then once the grades are known, contemplate retakes or a carefully considered application for 2015 entry. She really does need time to sort the depression out - how on earth will she/you cope if she hits rock bottom at Uni, possibly miles away from home? Could you live with the possible consequences?
IMHO she needs to get well before she takes on the big move that is University. What is all this talk of failure? I would try and persuade her to take a gap year.
MrsBright, that's what I want her to do - pull out and do it next year, if at all, but it's not what she wants to do. And yes, I do absolutely and entirely agree with you about not going to university with MH issues. One of the worst things about all this is that I can see only too hideously clearly what might happen, but I can't get her to see that, and neither at the moment can anyone else get her to see it. She is absolutely fixated on doing what everyone else does.
It is a terrible juggling act, all the time, between somehow attempting to foster her confidence, protect her, and allow her to be in an environment where she will get better. I wish I knew what the absolute best thing to do was, but I don't.
The talk of failure comes from her, btw. I don't think Clearing's a failure. IMO it doesn't matter how she gets there, if she goes to university,or whether she stays at home, does an OU course, doesn't do anything, or what, as long as she's happy, and she gets better, but that is NOT, NOT, NOT how she sees it.
I know she is making life terribly hard for herself, and that is probably one of the things that is contributing to her condition. Unfortunately I am the mother crying in the wilderness as far as she is concerned.
I didn't mean that you had said it was a failure... but she might take the msgs on board if she reads it from strangers on the 'Net, too. Who don't know her from Eve so aren't biased to be nice like she thinks you are biased, but we do know a bit about life.
Thanks - sorry for wailing and misunderstanding. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed by it all today. Normally I cope better. I spoke to school, who say that isn't quite what they said, but DD has refused to discuss it with me. I'm going in next week to see them.
Monday, I would try to ensure that the referee says something about the difficulties your daughter has had. I am speaking as someone who deals with admissions and would like to have a fuller sense of any particular issues the applicant has and which might have an impact on their academic profile. It's not at all out of the ordinary to include this information in the reference.
If she does go ahead with her plans then it is a good idea to look at what support systems the university has in place (health centre, counselling, registration for additional needs etc). If is is a good university it will help your daughter with the transition and work with her beyond that point.
I would second what lionheart has said. The reference needs to explain the difficulties and give an assessment of potential, rather than just the predicted grades.
Also try to encourage to declare a disability the UCAS form, as this will usually trigger contact from the support services asking about her needs.
Thanks - I didn't know about the disability thing. She has had physical problems as well. School does know, but I'll check when I go in that they are mentioned in the reference. They are definitely going to include the depression.
I must admit it does seem very odd to be doing this. It's like we're pretending to be normal
Mondayschild I'm going to sound harsh here, but it's from over 20 years of dealing with, teaching and advising undergrads.
If she's not quite coping academically, and she's ill, she should be focussing on getting better, getting stronger. If she'd had a bout of cancer, we wouldn't be expecting her to stride on & cope. Mental ill-health should be the same & it's such a pity it isn't.
But -- this is where I may sound harsh, but honestly it's meant as compassionate advice -- too often young people cling to their ability to "manage" to keep going on their studies, as a bulwark against feeling a failure. But that is NOT the purpose of a university education. University is NOT therapy. And you don't get a degree for being ill -- this is a tough lesson your daughter is already learning re her references.
If she's not coping well academically at A level she really really will not cope well at university. Better for her to take a break, do something physical and not in her head -- I sometimes think that the intense self-reflection, self-discipline, mental toughness, and introspection that a lot of university courses require is akin to mild depression anyway.
I know it sounds all stiff upper lip, but there is a lot to be said for a period of non-self-consciousness: of a lot of physical exercise, of productive work, with perhaps creative but not competitive activity for a self-help "mental fitness" sort of maintenance approach to depression (and its been seen in clinical work apparently). Not that that is a "cure" but it can help to alleviate the severity of some people's sufferings.
If your daughter is in a period of severe and/or chronic depression (and it can be cyclical) then frankly, university studies may not be her best life option at this time. Her long term health for the rest of her life is more important.
And at my current place, with a patchy record of attendance etc, she'd be on our "reasonable diligence" radar within her first term, and we'd be recommending a leave of absence.
UptheChimney, you're not sounding harsh at all. I completely agree with what you say. This is what I think she should do, and she does know that. I'm going into school to have a talk with her and the Head of Sixth, at which I shall repeat all this.
Although she knows what I think, she's carrying on down this course, and so that's what we actually have to manage. I know it's not ideal. I know it could well end in utter disaster. I know all that, but what I have to manage is what is in front of me, and it's a DD absolutely determined to apply.
Can you persuade her to apply but for 2015 entry? That way she still has something to work towards, but if she gets offers has a year to really think if that is what she wants, and to concentrate on her health.
Will school let your dd see a copy of the reference? When ds went through ucas, once the form had gone off, everyone was given their own copy if they asked. If your dd knew what had actually been submitted, she would be in a better position to decide if she wanted to pull out.
Seems to me though that she's got nothing to lose by just waiting to see what happens, if she gets no offers she can go through extra or clearing or apply again next year.
If however the reference hasn't yet gone off they should surely be mentioning the reasons they can't write a longer one, ask the ucas coordinator to include something by way of explanation.
UptheChimney, I think that's very wise, and I'll be showing this to DH tonight.
DS is in the throes of MH issues himself and barely managing to work, but the situation is a bit different in that he's already got some UCAS offers and will probably feel a failure if he can't meet them.
The 'pretending to be normal' is so familiar, Monday!
I was very depressed throughout my A levels and I found university life very tough, in fact I dropped out in my first year (but I did return and complete later). The social side of university is a real challenge for any young person but as someone with mental health issues, I found it quite disastrous. I would have definitely benefited from an extra year out to recover instead of going straight into my degree (for me, ploughing on was a way of appearing to be normal and covering up my problems, which I suspect applies to your DD as well)
I got DSA (Disabled Students' Allowance) when studying to help with the costs of studying with a disability, it meant I could get a mentor to support me and a laptop with software as my depression meant I had more problems concentrating. It's definitely worth her while to look into applying for that, she'd need some kind of report/letter from a doctor to confirm her needs. Universities also tend to have reasonably fast access to counselling services, although only for short-term treatment and they tend to be for students with milder issues. I also saw the MH team at the hospital near my university but they were quite poor in offering any treatment except medication.
Thanks everyone for your replies, which I really appreciate. At school and for DD I have to be the thereabouts in control parent, but it is so good to be able to say what I actually think here to people who know neither of us (if that makes sense).
Lancelottie, yes, that's the other thing. If she gets offers, she'll then set herself another goal she's going to have a massive struggle to attain. When she got worse at the beginning of Upper Sixth, I wanted her to stop school and go back and do her A levels later, but it's this absolute obsession with doing what everyone else does. Is this the same for your DS? Is it something, do you think, that they can actually hold on to because it has a progress of its own, even though it's not good for them?
Titchy, I've tried to persuade her. The thing is if I give her too many options, or even any other options, I'm not sure in her current condition that's a help. Oddly, when she was worse, last year, she concentrated on her schoolwork because I think that was actually all she had the energy to do. Now she's in some ways better some things are actually harder. Decision making is something she finds hard, though some of her therapies have addressed that. She still has a way to go, imo.
Eatyourveg, yes, I am going to see a copy of the ref.
Australianegg, thank you for what you said, which confirms the way I think she'll struggle, which is socially. I am sorry it was so bad for you, but you've shown amazing courage (sorry if that sounds patronising - it's not meant to be, but I know from seeing DD just how difficult it will be, and how it must have been for you). Thanks too for the info on DSA and support. I just hope she's not going to need it. It's bad enough thinking about your DC setting off on their own when they're reasonably ok, let alone when you know they're not.
How about providing the teacher with a framework to consider when writing a reference? They may be used to writing fairly generic references and simply dropping the sentences that do not apply to the individual. If you give them points that they can add easily (assuming they agree with them if course) then it may help?
Who do they need references from, I wonder if a reference from a mental health worker may be permissible? This may help the uni better assess her ability to adapt to uni life.
Note: I have no experience if UCAS whatsoever so I don't know how practical/useful these suggestions are!
Has her UCAS already been sent off? If so, then there's not much you can do, except wait and hope for the best.
If not, I would encourage her head of sixth (or another teacher who knows her well) to write a bit on the reference about the difficulties she has faced, and comment on her potential, as well as explain what is actually happening with school work right now. This may work in her favour, as it may lead to her getting contextual offers from universities due to her diffculties. It may be better to have a reference written by a single teacher explaining her circumstances, rather than each teacher writing a little bit, even if that is not what the school usually does.
However, as her teachers have said, they can't outright lie on the reference. Perhaps these breif reference are their way of saying she is not quite ready for university education yet.
What are her predicted grades like? If these are low, even with extenuating circumstances, they could put universities off. What is the spread of universities she is applying to compared to her predicted and AS grades? Ultimately, this will probably be the deciding factor as to if she will get a place or not.
If she has missed a lot of work this year, it might be better for her to focus on getting the best grades she can this year, and reapplying next year, whilst taking a gap year to try and improve her mental health. Lots of people take gap years, and apply during them, so she would still be doing "what everybody else does". She must know some people planning on gap years, or who have taken them in the past, surely?
If things have been missed off, which need to be added, quite a lot of Universities seem to allow/encourage additional statements. For example at the open day Warwick said specifically that in order to ensure a level playing field if there were additional issues which meant a student was in some way disadvantaged, eg around home circumstance, which they had not wanted to put on their personal statement they should add an individual additional statement to Warwick. (I cant remember what is was called.)
DS was also told by another University in response to a phone query about their specific entry requirements that he should email them directly with additional information. You might phone the admissions offices perhaps without giving your daughter's name and ask what they might want to see in the circumstances.
Obviously it depends on finance but if you could afford it I might look for a structured year long course rather than a gap year. Perhaps a year spent at a German University learning the language, something vocational or some sort of art foundation etc. Something that would add to a general CV and aid eventual studies, but which could be dropped out of. The problem with a gap year as such might be the lack of structure. Your daughter might be afraid of drifting. Starting a full university course sounds as if it would be a risk, and really damaging if she should then fail. .
If she needs a reason to take a gap year, the cap on numbers looks like it will be lifted for 15/16 entry (was mentioned in the spending review, waiting for fuller details to come out from HEFCE).
So entry to many university courses will be easier then even without high grades.
I've now seen the reference, which is fair, and I think an accurate picture of her. It talks about what she's done, and her potential, but gives a fair picture of her current state. If I were reading it, I think I'd have a pretty fair idea of her from it.
Her predicted grades were As and Bs, but I think have probably come down after the results of recent tests, so she thinks may well be Bs and Cs. One of the universities she's going for is top ten; the rest middle to lower rank, with entry requirements she's likely to get. She's still determined to send the form off for this year, and we've discussed it all again. It might be that she gets a lot better of course, and copes fine, but I tell myself that applying is not the same thing as actually going. We've taken a step along that road, but a step is all it is.
Needmoresleep, yes, she is afraid of drifting if she takes a year out, and I can see the sense behind her having something structured to do, but if she's not capable of coping with going away to university, she's not going to be capable of going abroad, or possibly going anywhere for a year. If she does stay, I think I'd be tempted to try her with a practical course for a few months, if we can find something suitable: something at any rate which doesn't demand the same things of her, but which lets her achieve something at not such a cost as academia.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. When the Guardians were unable to reach Wissen, the Green Lantern of Space Sector 1915, they sent this trio of Lanterns to alert him to the impending destruction of his home planet Veltre. Unbeknownst to Wissen, Veltre's core had grown unstable and was in imminent danger of exploding through a phenomenon known as "the Krypton Effect". The planet was doomed unless this team of Lanterns acted quickly.By arriving on Veltre, the Lanterns unintentionally exposed Wissen to be a mere corpsmen and not the "god" his people believed him to be. Their presence was living proof of Wissen's deception. Wissen was humiliated, and came to realize how wrong he was to allow himself to accept the people's worship. The trio of Lanterns did more then prevent Veltre's destruction, their arrival prompted Wissen to face the fact that he was living a lie. Ultimately the people of Veltre forgave Wissen and accepted him into their community as both their protector and as a fellow citizen of Veltre.THE SAVIORS OF VELTRE: "The Leader""The Leader" - The Leader of the group was a seasoned Lantern, who took charge and issued commands with ease. He was a pink skinned humanoid, who large belly could not hide his powerful frame. The Leader was a talkative sort, who sported a large walrus-like mustache and mane of white hair. When the Lanterns arrived on Veltre, the Leader took charge and briefed Wissen of the impending danger. In short order, the Leader was ordering Wissen and his team into orbit where they would complete a complex repair of the planets core. The Leader displayed a slight annoyance at Wissen's inattention to the repairs of his own planet, and chastised him to concentrate on the task at hand. The Leader rouses a distracted Wissen "The Orange Woman""The Orange Woman" - This female Lantern was distinguished by her orange hued skin, facial markings, and shocking hair. In all other respects, the Orange Woman, had the build of an athletic and attractive human woman. She did not interact much with Wissen but she expressed concern over Wissen's somber mood, and asked her fellow Lantern if they could help him with anything else before they left Veltre. Concern for a trouble Lantern "The Turtle Lantern""The Turtle Lantern" - An Alien Lantern whose species evolved from turtle-like creatures into an intelligent bipedal species. The "Turtle Lantern" stood a head shorter then the Leader and looked like a giant turtle, complete with green amphibian skin and a hard shell. Clad in a white and green uniform, the Turtle Lantern was a unique looking officer. He expressed an annoyance at having been called away from his Sector, and implored the talkative Leader to get on with the mission, stating that he had pressing business of his own to attend to. When the task was complete, the impatient Turtle Lantern was the first to fly away from Veltre. The Turtle Lantern did not hide his impatience and desire to return to his own SectorThe Saviors have not been seen since their actions on Veltre and their ultimate fate remains unknown. However, their heroic deeds will forever be remember by Wissen and the grateful people of his home world. The Saviors have passed into Corps history; their ultimate fate unknown

Author has written 3 stories for Andromeda, Charmed, and Harry Potter.I looked at my previous bio and found it not so good so I decided to try again. Okay, here goes.
Hi, it's me(who would have thought ?). Just calling to tell you I'm a 15 year old guy(16 in a month. yeah!!!) who loves to write and read fanfiction. I come from quebec, but I have Algerian origins. English is my third language so don't get all excited if make mistakes. I'm trying my best here so if you don't like it, the door is just on your left (great, now I'm upset)
I have written three stories so far. Here's their status:
Now, a bit more about myself. I hate my life and everything associated with it(what a cheerful fella I make). That's why I always add an OC in everyone of my stories. My characters represent what I wish I could be, that's why they're so perfect. I immerse myself in them to forget about my life. In other words, I'm a coward who doesn't want to face the harsh realities of life and uses his work to create another, better world for himself. (Now, I'm depressed.)I'm very sarcastic and very mean. I tease everyone I can. I know it's not very nice, but it makes me feel better when someone is more miserable then me. If I can admit it to myself and to everyone of you, guys, doesn't mean i'm on the path of recovery ? or something like that. geez, this sound more like a diary than anything else so I'll stop right now.

The Houston Astros are the parent club of our Oklahoma City RedHawks. Have been for several years, since the Rangers took their AAA team to Round Rock, Texas.
Since the Rangers announced they were leaving town, they've excelled. The best years in franchise history, with back-to-back World Series trips, 2010 and 2011. Meanwhile, the Astros have sunk to historic depths.
Not that it's hurt the RedHawks so much. The Astros have supplied OKC with just as solid of a talent base as did the Rangers. Texas constantly was calling up RedHawk players, because the Rangers were in the winning business.
The Astros are not.
The Astros have won 51, 55 and 56 games the last three seasons: 51-111 in 2011, 55-107 in 2012, 56-106 in 2013. The winning percentages are .315, .340 and .346.
That's not just bad baseball. That's historically bad baseball.
The Astros were born in 1962. So they've played 52 seasons. The only other sub-.400 winning percentage came in 1975, when Houston went 64-97 (.398).
So the worst three seasons in Astro history – by far – are the three most recent.
The Astros are on the verge of joining some of the worst sustained baseball ever.
Baseball history is not short. When the NBA was born in 1946, major league baseball was 70 years old. It's hard to make baseball history.
But the Astros are trying.
The Angels have been in business 54 years. They've never had a winning percentage under .400. In their inaugural season, 1961, the Angels went 70-91.
The Indians have played 113 seasons. They've had one season with a winning percentage under .350. The Astros have had three in the last three years.
The Brewers have played 45 years. They've had two seasons under .400. One of those seasons, 1969 as the expansion Seattle Pilots, they were 64-98-1. Barely under .400.
The Yankees were established in 1901. In 113 years, they've had four sub.-.400 seasons. None since 1913.
The Giants' first season was 1883. In 131 seasons, they've had five sub-.400 seasons. The lowest was .353 in 1902. The Astros have sunk below that each of the last three seasons.
The Cardinals haven't been below .400 since 1919.
These Astros have 324 defeats the last three years. That's tied for third on the all-time baseball list.
The expansion Mets lost 340 games from 1962-64 and 332 games from 1963-65. So Houston at least knows it hasn't fallen to the level of the Marv Throneberry era.
And those Metropolitans don't even deserve the mantle of worst team of all time, considering a three-year stretch. That would belong to Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics, who from 1915-17 also lost 324, but those A's won just 134. At least these Astros have won 162.
Mack had some epic teams, but he also had some of the great clunkers of all time. I don't know why they put him in the Hall of Fame. The Philly Athletics had two three-year stretches of sub-.360 winning percentages (1915-17, 1919-21), then had six straight years (1935-40) of sub-.400 baseball.
And some of those years, the Athletics weren't even the worst team in town.
The Phillies were awful in the first half of the 20th century. They played sub-.400 baseball in seven of the eight years from 1921-28. Then went seven straight years, 1936-42, with sub-.400 records. Over a 22-year span, the Phils finished below .400 17 times. I don't know how baseball survived in that city.
I mean, this is ridiculous. The Astros have brought about comparisons to some of the worst franchise eras in a history that dates back to when U.S. Grant was in the White House.
Like the Boston Braves, who from 1904 through 1929 had four stretches of at least three straight seasons below .400. Most of those years, the Bostons (they were called the Beaneaters, the Doves, the Bees, they went through a lot of nicknames) were below .350.
Like the St. Louis Browns, synonymous with futility. Eventually, the Browns moved to Baltimore and became respectable. But in St. Louis, the stunk. In the 20 years from 1936 through 1955, the Browns 12 times were below .400.
Even the stately franchises that have had bad stretches did so in dusty days.
The Red Sox had a stretch like this, going six straight (1925-30) years below .400.
The Reds did so 1932-34.
The Cardinals from 1895-98 and 1905-1909.
As you can see, really bad baseball is not much of a modern phenomenon.
Modern-era teams that have played as bad as these Astros are mostly expansion teams.
The Mets.
The Padres, whose first season was 1969, and not until 1975 did San Diego finish .400 or better. But even those Padres weren't losing 105, 106 games. Their final five winning percentages in that rocky start were .389, .379, .379, .370 and .370.
The new Washington Senators, who eventually became the Rangers, opened with four straight sub-.400 seasons, 1961-64, but only one of those years was below .373.
The Blue Jays were born in 1977 and stunk for three years: .335, .366 and .327.
And the Tampa Bay DevilRays from 2001-03, their third, fourth and fifth seasons in existence, were 62-100 (.383), 55-106 (.342) and 63-99 (.389).
So have any modern-era, non-expansion teams approached these Astros? Yes.
Let's not count the original Senators (who were futile from 1955-58 and soon thereafter moved to Minnesota) or the 1952-55 Pirates (who were truly awful, but that's now been 60 years ago).
So here's the list.
* The 2004-2006 Royals went 58-104 (.358), 56-106 (.346) and 62-100 (.383). That's still 14 games better than these Astros.
* The 1971-73 Rangers (who actually were in Washington in '71), who went
63-96 (.396), 54-100 (.351) and 57-105 (.352). That's 23 fewer defeats than these Astros.
And that's it. These Astros are playing the most sustained bad baseball (at least three years) since the 1950s.
