Propagating Shrubs
Step-by-step instructions for propagating gardenias, hibiscus and azaleas.
If you have a flowering shrub and would like another just like it, propagate a cutting from the plant to create a duplicate version. Host Jamie McMurray demonstrates the different methods of shrub propagation:
To propagate a gardenia:
1. Take a cutting from the shrub, choosing a stem that is neither new or old growth but a semi-hardwood cutting from the midsection of a stem.
2. Using sterile, sharp shears, cut just above a leaf axil. Note: A quick way to sterilize your cutting shears is to dip the blades in rubbing alcohol.
3. Remove the leaves along the base of the stem.
4. Make a diagonal cut at the base of the stem.
5. Dip the cutting in rooting hormone.
6. Make a small hole in the potting soil, and plant the cutting. Remember to use a soil that drains well.
7. Gently tamp the soil around the stem, and water thoroughly.
8. To create a humid environment for the plant, stake toothpicks, chopsticks, or even pencils around the base of the plant and place a piece of plastic over the top.
To propagate an azalea:
1. Find a hardwood stem, and use a sterilized, sharp knife to cut an inverted "V"-shape along the underside of the stem.
2. Place a tray of moist soil beneath the stem, and place the cut edge on top of the soil.
3. Place a brick on top of the stem to hold it in place.
4. Over the following several weeks, the cut area will form roots. Once it has taken root, you can cut it away from the original plant.
To propagate a hibiscus:
1. Use a sterilized knife to make a shallow cut just below where a side branch joins the main stem.
2. Pull the side branch down, tearing it off. The branch won't tear below where you've incised the main stem.
3. Dip the cutting in rooting hormone, and plant in a container of soil.
Note: If you're not sure of the technique to use for a particular type of flowering shrub, check with your local nursery.

Imtech Marine is pleased to announce the addition of two Area Sales Managers to the Radio Holland USA team.
Mike Pizer of Houston, and John Schwiering of Ft. Lauderdale recently joined the Radio Holland sales team, adding more than 40 years of navigation and communication experience to the RHUSA sales organization. Radio Holland is a member of the global company Imtech Marine. Recently Imtech Marine announced the expansion of its service network in the USA to a total of 15 ports and its intentions of further growth to provide on the spot quality service to ship owners.
Mike Pizer, with more than 20 years of marine electronics experience, returns to Radio Holland after a brief term with Telemar, to serve the Central gulf coast territory. John Schwiering worked for Radio Holland for 18 years, starting his career in the Northeast, then moving to the Northwest to open the Radio Holland Seattle facility in 2001. Over the last 4 years, John spent some time working for a major manufacturer of marine electronics, and most recently with L3/GA International. "We are excited to have both John and Mike back on board with Radio Holland. Both John and Mike fill key roles in our organization, and their return furthers our ability to provide consultative expertise to our clients", said Craig Cabiro, National Sales and Marketing Manager for RHUSA.

Surfer-girl chic and gorgeous-floral fabulous, this classic string bikini bottom gets a luscious upgrade in the form of Zinke's signature cotton lace overlay. Graphic in the best way, the just cheeky enough bottoms are effortlessly natural. Ideal for hanging out or hanging 10.

Triangle Bikini Top$61.00
Surfer-girl chic and gorgeous-floral fabulous, this classic triangle string bikini top gets a luscious upgrade in the form of Zinke's signature cotton lace overlay.
May We Recommend?
We think our favorite thing about this ssssstunning bottom (besides the fact that the no-dig fit-freeing corset ties at the hips) is the luscious snakeskin pattern.
This is the perfect wanderlust tassel necklace, with cottonwood white wooden beads and flashes of gold, the ideal pairing for a margarita in the setting sun. Meet us in Marfa?
Lola, L-O-L-A, Lola. This brilliant cross-back large-scale-lace crop top is as classic as the Kinks, but with none of the ambiguity. Tastes like cherry cola.
This no-tie halter neck and slinky tie back are perfectly barely-there, while triangle cups offer ideal coverage. Don't forget the sunscreen (but do forget your to-do list).
This hipster is bold, a little edgy, and totally fresh. Classic stretch microfiber is ruched at the hips for a flattering shape that won't dig.
This bottom has the trappings of the classic bikini: just the right amount of cheek vs. coverage, light lining, and slender tie sides. Add a little gold and you're good to go.
Ready for the Rose Bowl? We think this bold and fabulously tribal "pajama" top just might be. Or, this wonder would be equally at home at the Ace in Palm Springs. Just sayin'.
Truly classic, these bottoms also offer the perfect amount if stay-put coverage. A must for bathing beauties and ladies who actually like to play in the surf.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Venga, the only complete customer management system for restaurants, announced it has closed a $1 million Series A round. Founded in 2010, Venga has raised a total of $1.65 million.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140115/MN46476)
Led by Militello Capital, the round includes a prestigious roster of industry executives, restaurant groups and angel investors. They include: Think Food Group (Jose Andres' restaurant group), Big Red Ventures (Cornell University's venture fund), Bill and Pat Anton (founders of Anton Airfood), Philip Cummins (partner, Innovative Dining Group), Gus DiMillo (owner, Passion Food Hospitality), Brad Zions (co-founder, Lemonade Restaurants), Alicia Aloe (founder, RezSource), Jodie McLean (President and Chief Investment Officer, EDENS), and various angels.
Venga's patent-pending technology automatically links restaurants' point of sale systems and reservation systems (such as OpenTable®). In doing so, it connects purchases to the individual guests who made them to seamlessly build profiles on individual guests' habits and preferences. Restaurants use this information to increase visit frequency, customer satisfaction, and spending through targeted email campaigns and personalized service. To date, they've tracked over $160m in spending and created over 6 million guest profiles. Restaurants using Venga have seen an ROI exceeding 650%.
"Venga has built the 'holy grail' for restaurants," said Bill Anton, Chairman Emeritus of the Culinary Institute of America's (CIA) Board of Trustees and restaurant industry icon. Pat Anton, Chair Emeritus of the Women's Foodservice Forum and CIA Trustee, agreed, saying, "Venga allows restaurants to connect actual customers to their purchase history for the first time. This allows managers to engage customers like never before."
Some of the most influential restaurateurs and restaurant groups around the country have adopted the product, including Michael Mina, Michael White, Richard Sandoval, Fig & Olive, and EMM Group. Venga plans to build on this success, using the additional funding to scale their sales team and develop a CRM product for the casual dining market.
"This funding will allow Venga to satisfy the incredible demand in the restaurant marketplace for its current product and identify new opportunities," said Matt Brady, co-founder and COO of Militello Capital. "We are excited to support Venga's growth as they continue to develop innovative ways to deliver customer insights to restaurants."
About Venga
Founded in 2010 in Washington, D.C., Venga's mission has always been to provide restaurants with deeper insights into guests' preferences and habits. Venga has grown into the leading guest management software for the restaurant industry and their patent-pending technology remains the only product to combine dining reservations with point-of-sale data. In doing so, it connects purchases to the individual guests who made them to seamlessly build profiles on individual guests' habits and preferences. Venga's clients, which include many of the most successful restaurant groups in the country such as ThinkFoodGroup, Michael Mina and Altamarea Group Restaurants, use this information to increase visit frequency, customer satisfaction, and spending through targeted email campaigns and personalized service.

Malicious agents are moving faster than the speed of business. Even more worrisome, most companies are relying on legacy approaches to security that are no longer capable of meeting current threats.

European LED commercial lighting market value to increase by 7 times
May 25, 2012 // Christoph Hammerschmidt
According to a report from market researcher LEDinside, the European LED lighting market's rapid growth is attributed to the energy-saving awareness and high electricity prices in Europe, especially the latter. For example, if a 7W LED light bulb (a replacement for 40W incandescent light bulb) is used for eight hours a day for a month (31 days), it can save 8 kWh compared to using an 40W incandescent light bulb. With the electricity prices of EU-27, US$2 can be saved every month by adopting a LED light bulb instead of incandescent one
As for the future of LED, the market research company expressed "high hopes" for LED commercial lighting's prospects. Given the global anti-nuclear trend and no room for the electricity prices to dip, the energy-saving demand will only climb. LEDinside predicts that LED price will see a drastic drop starting from 2012 and expects the value of European LED commercial lighting market to reach US$1.9 billion by 2015, seven times more than that in 2011.
LEDinside, the LED research division of market research company Trend Force, indicates that more money can be saved by adopting LED lights in the outdoor and commercial lighting sectors due to their high electricity consumptions. LED light bulb's lower wattage and higher thermal dissipation efficiency will result in better energy-saving efficiency. Thus, high electricity price is one of the most important factors that really spurs European LED lighting market's growth surge.
As for the indoor lighting, European lighting market is mainly dominated by Philips, Osram and GE. In particular, Philips and Osram dominate the trend in European LED lighting market; they continue to put efforts into traditional lighting market and channels, but in the meantime, they have been developing their LED products. European LED lighting firms take a more scientific stance on manufacturing LED products, with emphasis on LED components' color temperature, brightness and beam angle.
According to LEDinside, in terms of the color temperature for indoor lighting, Europeans prefer warm white, yellow light (2500K-2700K), while for the commercial lighting they prefer around 3,000K with CRI being above 80.
It is very easy to buy 10W (and lower) LED light bulb and candle light at convenient stores and supermarkets in Europe. However, LED still has a long way to go before it reaches wide adoption in the household lighting market; currently, LED lighting is mainly adopted by new buildings and luxury houses, the market researcher finds. LED lighting fixtures' prices are still much higher than those of traditional lighting products, not to mention that at present, LED light bulbs cannot replace traditional ones in terms of beam angle. For this reason, regular consumers are still conservative about using LED lights in their households.

TEGAN AND SARA Announce Headlining Tour
Tegan and Sara's new album is creeping closer. Get excited, because this may very well be the best output of twin sisters Quin's thirteen year career. Their seventh studio album, Heartthrob, is set for a January 29th release on Warner Bros. Records and features the hit single, "Closer."
Heartthrob was produced mainly by Greg Kurstin (The Shins, Kelly Clarkson, Ke$ha), who is the master of polishing up an indie cool sound and taking it to the next level, yet without compromising. Heartthrob may very well be the girls' finest work to date and one they're incredibly proud of. Fresh off performances on both The Late Show With David Letterman and Conan, Tegan And Sara will be performing on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! during their new earlier time slot on January 31st.
Tegan and Sara have been road warriors this year. After putting the finishing touches on Heartthrob, they hit the road with The Black Keys and performed at Austin City Limits, before heading out on a two month UK and US tour with The Killers. They're set to go on their own headlining tour this year, highlighted by shows at NYC's Beacon Theatre later this month. WATCH the official video for "Closer." LISTEN to their new song, "I'm Not Your Hero." LOOK at Tegan and Sara's Vanity Fair photo diary from The Killers tour. READ this in depth interview with W Magazine. A complete list of upcoming tour dates is below.

After going 0-for-5 with five strikeouts, Hughes delivered a walk-off single in the bottom of the 13th to give the Triple-A Norfolk Tides a 4-3 win over the Pawtucket Red Sox.
"I think that might be the first walk-off hit I've had at any level," Hughes said. "It was a big relief. I'm glad I could come through for the team at the end."
Matt Angle led off the 13th with a single off Tony Pena before Brendan Harris moved him over to second with a sacrifice bunt. Following a groundout by Brandon Snyder, the Red Sox elected to walk Josh Bell to get to Hughes.
"Two outs, runner on second -- I kind of knew they were gonna walk Josh there," Hughes said. "You try not to let the at-bats earlier affect you, because you never know if you're going to have a chance to come up in moment like that. I was just looking for something to get a hit. I fouled a couple pitches off. Then he threw one that got too much of the plate and I got a good swing on it."
Before that hit, Hughes said there was one performance in his career comparable -- an 0-for-5, five-strikeout game on May 2, 2009, when he was playing for Double-A Montgomery against Mississippi.
"I had a lot of friends and family there," the native of Mississippi said. "Friends from north Mississippi, friends from south Mississippi. I was 0-for-5 with five strikeouts that night. That was a rough night as well.
"You try to look at it in the grand scheme of things. As frustrating as it is, you tell yourself it's just one night. You bounce back and try to do a little better. It's frustrating. Nobody wants to go through that. Records are made to be broken, but that's not one you want to hang your hat on."
Overall, Hughes is hitting .233 with six homers and 29 RBIs this season. As the designated hitter Tuesday, the 27-year-old said he tried not to let his poor night get to him while he was sitting in the dugout.
"You know, I've DH'd a lot this year," he said. "I try not to let each at-bat affect me. Sometimes it's tough -- a little easier said than done.
"I don't know if it was any easier or harder, just because I wasn't playing defense or anything like that. To be honest, it was just bad either way really."
Pena (3-3), a converted infielder who served as the starting shortstop for the Kansas City Royals in 2007 and part of '08, took the loss after surrendering one run on three hits in 1 2/3 innings.
Troy Patton (2-0) earned the win for Norfolk by tossing four innings of one-hit ball in relief.

I think it is highly significant that this happened at a Walmart. Can you imagine what would have happened if it had occurred at a unionized grocery? I rest my case. God Bless American, and God Bless Walmart.

Absolutely amazing..Pleasanton is just one big conspiracy story to read some of these...meanwhile I have lived here for 25 years..raised a daughter thru the great school system..shopped here..eaten here and made great friends here..give it a rest folks..the glass is also half full...

Statoil ASA and Brigham Exploration Company (NASDAQ: BEXP) announced that an entity controlled by Statoil, Fargo Acquisition Inc., has commenced the previously-announced tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Brigham at a price of $36.50 per share, net to the seller in cash without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes.
Statoil is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission today a tender offer statement on Schedule TO, including an offer to purchase and related letter of transmittal, setting forth in detail the terms of the Offer. Additionally, Brigham is filing with the SEC today a solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 setting forth in detail, among other things, the recommendation of the Brigham's board of directors that Brigham's stockholders tender their Shares to Purchaser pursuant to the Offer.
The Offer and withdrawal rights are scheduled to expire at midnight, New York City time, on Wednesday, November 30, 2011, unless extended or earlier terminated.
On October 17, 2011, Statoil and Brigham announced that they had signed a definitive merger agreement pursuant dated October 17, 2011 among Statoil, Purchaser and Brigham pursuant to which the Offer would be made. Following the consummation of the Offer and the satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions as set forth in the Merger Agreement, Purchaser will merge with and into Brigham (the "Merger"), with Brigham continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Statoil. At the effective time of the Merger, each Share immediately issued and outstanding immediately prior to such time (other than (i) Shares then owned by Statoil, Purchaser, Brigham or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, in each case other than on behalf of third parties, and (ii) Shares that are held by any stockholders who properly demand appraisal in connection with the Merger) will cease to be issued and outstanding, will be cancelled, will cease to exist and will be converted in to the right to receive the Offer Price, net to the seller in cash without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes.
The Offer is not subject to any financing condition. The Offer is conditioned upon (i) the expiration or termination of the waiting period (and extensions thereof) applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the regulations thereunder, (ii) there being validly tendered, and not withdrawn, that number of shares that, together with any shares then owned by Statoil and Purchaser, represents at lease a majority of the outstanding Shares on a fully diluted basis, assuming the issuance of all Shares that may be issued upon the vesting, conversion or exercise of all outstanding options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities or similar rights, and (iii) certain other conditions described in the Merger Agreement.

Kansas City (21-20) at St. Louis (24-17)
Just in time for the start of interleague play, Albert Pujols(notes) broke out of a little power slump with a mammoth home run to help the St. Louis Cardinals sweep their archrivals.
Pujols, baseball's top hitter in interleague games, now looks to lead the Cardinals to their fourth straight win Friday in the opener of a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals.
St. Louis (24-17) defeated the Cubs 3-1 on Thursday, limiting Chicago to two runs in the three-game sweep. The Cardinals, who were swept by Milwaukee last weekend, entered that series losers of seven of nine.
"We played a really bad series against Milwaukee, top to bottom, and we came back and beat a really good team," said Thursday's winning pitcher, Adam Wainwright(notes), who came within one out of a complete game.
Pujols gave the Cardinals a first-inning lead with a solo homer off the third deck of the left-field stands to snap a seven-game homerless streak. The ball knocked out the electricity in the "I" on the Big Mac Land sign.
"It's cool doing things like that," said Pujols, whose 14 homers are tied for third-most in the majors.
Pujols is the all-time leader in interleague batting average (.350) and was 12 for 28 (.429) with two homers and five RBIs in seven games against the AL last season.
The reigning NL MVP is batting .388 with 11 home runs, 13 doubles and 40 RBIs in 36 career games against the Royals (21-20), and he's 11 for 25 (.440) with a homer and seven RBIs in six games against them at Busch Stadium.
Despite all of Pujols' success against Kansas City, the Cardinals dropped four of six to the Royals last season and were swept in a three-game series at Busch.
"The last few years we've got the better of them, so maybe we can continue it this year," Kansas City third baseman Mark Teahen(notes) told the team's official Web site.
The Royals lost to Cleveland 8-3 on Thursday and have dropped nine of 12 after winning a season-high six in a row.
Kansas City's Zack Greinke(notes) left Thursday's game after six innings with a 3-2 lead, but the bullpen couldn't seal the victory. Royals relievers, who were expected to be a strength this year, have allowed 10 runs and 14 hits in their last six innings.
In the series opener, Royals manager Trey Hillman gives the ball to Kyle Davies(notes) (2-2, 5.01 ERA), who gave up three runs and six hits in seven innings of a 3-2 loss to Baltimore on Saturday.
Although Davies is still seeking his first road victory of the season, he's been his best away from Kansas City. The right-hander has yet to record a decision in three road starts despite posting a 1.89 ERA.
Davies won his only start at Busch Stadium on June 17, allowing one run and five hits in seven innings of a 2-1 victory.
The Cardinals counter with Todd Wellemeyer(notes) (3-4, 5.87), who is looking to put another disappointing outing behind him.
After allowing four runs in 14 innings in winning his first two starts this month, Wellemeyer has been tagged for 11 runs in 10 innings in losing his last two. On Sunday, the right-hander gave up four runs, three hits and a career-high seven walks while also hitting two batters in 5 2-3 innings of an 8-2 loss to Milwaukee.
"He's shown enough to where we've got to stay with him," manager Tony La Russa told the Cardinals' official Web site. "He's got this rough patch of several games and he's working through it."
In his only career start against the Royals on June 20, 2007, Wellemeyer gave up four runs and five hits in five innings of a 7-6, 14-inning victory.

MCM is proud to announce a new program, Growing Healthy Kids, created by partnership with Whole Foods Market of Jackson. This fun, hands-on program occurs on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month starting at 10:00 a.m. in the Literacy Garden from June 9 to August 25, 2015. All summer long, children will explore and discover their own creative points of view and develop wholesome habits through healthful cooking classes, story time, and environmentally-friendly crafts. Through these fun activities, children will make the connection between the health of the body, the health of the mind, and the health of our beautiful Earth.
Growing Healthy Kids program will be held on the following dates:
Presented by Whole Foods Market Jackson and Whole Kids Foundation.
Join us in the Literacy Garden on Saturday mornings for our newest program, Know to Grow. Starting at 10:00 a.m., children and families will listen to a garden story and participate in hands-on garden activities. Know to Grow will provide a fun forum for children to make a connection between reading, science and aspects of the natural world.
As part of MCM's 2014 grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, this program serves to bridge a gap between a foundation of reading skills and comprehensive application in the new Literacy Garden. Children of all ages will learn something new that they can apply to their own backyard.
