What Happened Monday
The good news is, we worked our fingers to the bone all last week and mowed, weedeated, pruned, and primped the area around the Lodge within an inch of its life. I think I might have lost a pound!
And thanks to your myriad suggestions, the following things occurred:
We bought rusty, geometric planters and planted them with native grasses. Josh had to tie the Crepe Myrtle to a rock to keep it from bending in the breeze. Nice touch, eh?
Or not.
We rounded up a large natural area rug for the main part of the deck.
We stained our picnic tables a deep brown, which really warmed them up.
We got some large floor pillows for the deck, which added a sense of coziness and texture.
We assembled a great collection of mix-and-match placemats and napkins—nothing too matchy, natural shades.
We were all ready. We powerwashed the deck, swept every crumb off the porch, and cleaned the windows until they sparkled.
We bought two orange pillows for the new rockers on the front porch. They're not shown here, because Charlie and Hamilton were fighting over them.
Aside from that, Everything was in place.
The guests arrived Sunday night and began setting up for the photo shoot on Monday. It was to be a dinner in the country…outdoors…on the deck overlooking the prairie. Bucolic, peaceful, serene.
And then it rained.
It rained and it rained and it rained.
And four days later, it's still raining.
(Thank you so much for your help. It's nice to have the deck and porch all ready!)
(Ready for what…I have no idea. But it's ready. That's all that counts.)
And here's the thing: I've been married to a rancher for thirteen years. We make our living in agriculture. And as much as I tried to get irritated that all our primping and pruning wound up being for naught, I couldn't do it.
All I could do was be thankful.
It's nice to feel that sense of kinship with the land around you.
Not to mention the peace that comes from knowing that no matter what scientific and technological advances man makes in this world, we still can't keep the skies from opening up and raining all over our heads when it wants to.

What a fabulous job sprucing things up! I'm so impressed, though I like the stark simplicity of before as well.
And good for you, for being thankful instead of irritated.
Greeneyes Martha On Thursday, August 20 at 9:46 am
Too bad you don't have a view.
I kid.
Of course.
Because you get to look at MM every day.
The end.
Dianne On Thursday, August 20 at 9:47 am
Amen. Thank God for the rain…we could sure use some here in Oregon. It's the DRY season now. Granted, in a few months, I will be saying, "anyone want some rain?!"
For now, the parched ground is happy in Oklahoma and your LOVELY deck is ready for future company!
Shana On Thursday, August 20 at 9:47 am
It looks absolutely serene and peaceful! At least thats one less thing you have to worry about!
Daddy Scratches On Thursday, August 20 at 9:51 am
Could your home be any more gorgeous?
Allow me to answer my own question: No. No, it could not.

Vicki On Thursday, August 20 at 9:51 am
And then what happened?
Connie On Thursday, August 20 at 9:51 am
There is NOTHING like life-giving rain. It refreshes the land and the spirit!..oh, and the smell….
I'm sure you thanked all for the wonderful job. It looks gorgeous.
Inna On Thursday, August 20 at 9:51 am
Looks gorgeous!
snobound On Thursday, August 20 at 9:51 am
It looks wonderful, but I too wouldn't have been able to be upset at the rain. We could use some in our neck of the woods, that's for sure!
Woo On Thursday, August 20 at 9:52 am
Sandy W. On Thursday, August 20 at 9:53 am
Looks great anyway. Can't wait for your cookbook to come out. Any idea of the timeframe?
OldNuffToKnoBtr On Thursday, August 20 at 9:54 am
The deck is so beautiful.
We have had a rainy summer where I live. I truly do enjoy listening to and watching a summer thunder storm, (From a safe, warm, dry spot.)
the inadvertent farmer On Thursday, August 20 at 9:54 am
I would have great sympathy for your change of plans but I live in the Pacific Northwest…we have the only rainforest in the continental USA…we have webs between our toes…and moss on our back…enough said! Kim
Leadra Martin On Thursday, August 20 at 9:55 am
I know! It's been raining here all night and day… I can't say that I'm too upset though, as I've been neglecting my flowers and they needed a little drink.
Chris Wolfgang On Thursday, August 20 at 9:56 am
Well, as everyone says, the deck is lovely and I'm sure you're happy to have it set up now. I like your attitude about technology still having to give way to weather
christi On Thursday, August 20 at 9:57 am
Beautiful porch.
Send some of that rain down here to Central Texas-we are drying up down here.
cori On Thursday, August 20 at 9:57 am
That's they way it goes, but it is all ready for you and fam. to use. Beautiful, I think I could stand and look out at the vista all day long, rain or shine.
Denise Lamb On Thursday, August 20 at 9:58 am
The lodge outside looks beautiful.
Now it is as nice as the inside.
Did they leave for good or will they be back?
Enjoy your beautiful deck.
Meme On Thursday, August 20 at 9:58 am
Oh dear. Well, now you have a lovely view of a newly improved deck to gaze upon from indoors and see what you like and what other changes inspire you. It looks quite pretty and you're ready to use it for your most important little crew!
Quincy's Keeper On Thursday, August 20 at 9:58 am
Looks beautimous.
cindy On Thursday, August 20 at 9:59 am
bummer that all your hard work was impeded by the rain. but how can you not be grateful for a good long soak?
Darcy On Thursday, August 20 at 10:03 am
Amen for rain! Spoken like a true rancher's wife…when it rains, we are thankful!
Michelle On Thursday, August 20 at 10:05 am
Traci On Thursday, August 20 at 10:08 am
Beautiful! And waterproof…we got rain in our part of OK, too. Hooray!
Rebekah On Thursday, August 20 at 10:09 am
That last line is SO true lol, best of luck it's raining and tornado weather here in Ohio today.
Jocelyn Stott On Thursday, August 20 at 10:09 am
Seeing as I hail from the NW part of this country, I can totally relate. Here in Oregon, rain can come at any time and you always have to be prepared for it, but if you don't let it get to you, then it just doesn't. Nice work with the positive attitude – it goes a long way.
Brussel Sprouts On Thursday, August 20 at 10:10 am
It looks gorgeous! I like your comments on nature. In our fast-paced technological world people often forget that you cannot control everything.
Dawn On Thursday, August 20 at 10:11 am
but it IS ready…for whatever life brings you next.
MelissaH-from So. Fla On Thursday, August 20 at 10:12 am
BEEEE UUUU Teeee FULLLLL!!!
Can u please let us know about those gorgeous rockers….they are divine
Junebug On Thursday, August 20 at 10:13 am
Rain is a blessing. Just the timing might be off. I think the crepe myrtle looks like a cowboy roped it. Everything is gorgeous!
J-Dub On Thursday, August 20 at 10:16 am
LOVE your attitude, P-Dub! 'Tis a blessing to be able to be thankful!
Meredith On Thursday, August 20 at 10:16 am
I love life. And rain. Can't wait to see what you end up using the deck for next.
Angela On Thursday, August 20 at 10:16 am
I just love the irony of the situation. lol. The deck and outdoor area looks fantastic!
cjwsbg On Thursday, August 20 at 10:19 am
Rain is wonderful! Are you re-doing the shoot?
Tamara On Thursday, August 20 at 10:19 am
I can't tell you how many times on the farm I have cursed the weather for personal reasons while at the same time said my "thank you" prayers on behalf of the crop! It's a painful state of psychosis but it's the life of a farmer
It's looking wonderful on the deck!
Taylor On Thursday, August 20 at 10:22 am
Looks lovely
maryconnealy On Thursday, August 20 at 10:23 am
You know you're married to a rancher when you CELEBRATE that the Fourth of July Parades all get rained out.
Very strange mindset.
Chell Nicely On Thursday, August 20 at 10:24 am
And as of this morning…. it's still raining. The Lodge looks great though! Nice Job!
Karen from A Creek in the Back On Thursday, August 20 at 10:25 am
Goodness it's flat out there!
I know what you mean about the rain. We were in a drought last summer, but luckily this summer has been much better. I love each and every drop we get.
Lori On Thursday, August 20 at 10:27 am
Once it's done raining, could you please post some more photos, showing the rug area and from the direction of the edge or beyond the deck, which includes a view of the lodge with the deck in front of it? You know what I mean? Thanks!
rubberwalls On Thursday, August 20 at 10:27 am
wow – beautiful,
Where did you get the gorgeous rocking chairs???
Leane On Thursday, August 20 at 10:29 am
You guys did an amazing job — I love the different heights and textures of your plantings!
Lola On Thursday, August 20 at 10:30 am
Isn't that the way it always goes!?!? Hurry and prep something and have the weather spoil the moment. Oh well. At least you now have the deck a little more decorated.
sweepea On Thursday, August 20 at 10:30 am
always thank G-d for the rain, and the grass.
Megan On Thursday, August 20 at 10:31 am
All that work! At least it's ready for next time something comes up. And it looks great.
Amber McCaslin On Thursday, August 20 at 10:34 am
I absolutely love it! I wish I could be sitting in one of the rocking chairs right now!!!!
Vanessa On Thursday, August 20 at 10:36 am
It looks great! To see the bright side of things, just think all that rain is really going to help with the new plants!
Scott McKittrick On Thursday, August 20 at 10:37 am
It looks awesome. I like the planters a lot. Funny how things like that rain happen.
Shelley On Thursday, August 20 at 10:38 am
The lodge looks great! What great inspiration you have given me for my little city paito!!!
Minnesotamom On Thursday, August 20 at 10:48 am
I appreciate your attitude. You're right–the Lord still does what He wills, no matter our plans.
tksinclair On Thursday, August 20 at 10:48 am
It looks wonderful! Absolutely gorgeous!
Tracy On Thursday, August 20 at 10:49 am
very sophisticated. I love that you used native plants.
PatW On Thursday, August 20 at 10:49 am
And you've got your native grasses back where nobody can pull them up! Bonus!
Couple of weeks ago something similar happened to me. I'd been carefully nuturing a precious Gloire de Dijon rose. They're not easy to get; and they're a little dicey in our climate zone, but this baby came through the winter fine and had just put up its first big shoot. And then my landlord brought a buddy over to help him clean the yard, and the guy yanked up my rose and left all the crabgrass. I didn't see it until after they'd left. I started going through the bags of waste, and never found it.
Bought another one, planted it, and it's showing its first teeny sign of growth.
Susan On Thursday, August 20 at 10:57 am
Amen! Why get mad..you can't get even~ Anyway..the rain will green up the grasses so the photo shoot will be better than ever. Once you are able to have a photo shoot, that is!
Your pic's look great, Ree.
Natasha R On Thursday, August 20 at 11:00 am
That deck looks so inviting! Excellent pictures and very nice work!
Peach On Thursday, August 20 at 11:02 am
I second the desire to know… Where did the rockers come from…. they are beautiful! I heart them…
Please inform the masses or at least the two of us that want to know. I love the rich color of the wood and the matching little table!
Susan On Thursday, August 20 at 11:11 am
I lived in Colorado for several years and know exactly what you mean. We were always greatful for rain since it helped ward off fires! "You gotta take the good you take the bad…" (sorry to get that stuck in your head!)
Brigid of Calif On Thursday, August 20 at 11:11 am
I'm not sure why, but I never realized your lodge was on a hill. All the pictures you post show a flat expanse of land on the ranch. The green hills are lovely and the lodge is all spruced up and beautiful!
Jane George On Thursday, August 20 at 11:12 am
Yup, God's the boss.
Robyn On Thursday, August 20 at 11:20 am
Thank you Lord for the rain. Sorry you got rained out. Hopefully they were able to reschedule. I've spent many summers in OK at cattle camp with my daughter. Rain there is torrid. At least the interior of the lodge was done so your family could eat together there. The deck is awesome. i love the planters.
Kathy Second Fiddle On Thursday, August 20 at 11:22 am
Hard to be mad at rain. Though changing plans can rattle me.
Now you are ready for the next one… and since the inside is great you still had a great place for them
TJ On Thursday, August 20 at 11:24 am
Nice and beautiful.
Laura On Thursday, August 20 at 11:24 am
you give perspective to life – I love that and your deck decor!
Anne DeRuiter On Thursday, August 20 at 11:26 am
"A man makes his plans, but the Lord directs his steps." Good for you for staying peaceful about it.
CAtoTXgirl On Thursday, August 20 at 11:34 am
It looks beautiful!! Could you send some of your rain to Austin? We are about to turn to dust down here.
Kathy On Thursday, August 20 at 11:38 am
If you want to hear God laugh, tell him your plans . . .
The outdoor space looks beautiful — you did a wonderful job!
brenda On Thursday, August 20 at 11:39 am
Wow, its BEAUTIFUL! Love your VIEW! I would love to move back to the mountains someday! I wil just keep dreaming big!
Pam On Thursday, August 20 at 11:40 am
Man I wish it would rain for 4 days here, or even 4 hours. We need it bad. South Texas is a strong breeze away from being dust in the wind.
carolyn On Thursday, August 20 at 11:42 am
It looks fantastic out there Ree!
books On Thursday, August 20 at 11:45 am
Your hillsides are green again, hooooray!
Emma in Ft. Worth On Thursday, August 20 at 11:49 am
I do hope they'll come back! Yay for the rain though. The deck looks so finished now – guess you'll just have to throw an impromptu party ? Or a quick contest with the winners (ME) coming to the Lodge and enjoying the deck.
Oh, I forgot that I want to come when it's a LITTLE cooler than 100.
Maureen On Thursday, August 20 at 11:53 am
Well done
Nezzy On Thursday, August 20 at 11:54 am
Six inches have fallen in the Ozarks since Monday. Hubby says never complain about rain in August. I mowed my green acre of a lawn…this morning…..in the rain. Nothing else to do. No electricity due to the storm last night and it was Thrasher Thursday. Love your deck improvements. Looks like it's ready. Have a gorgeous day!!!
toni On Thursday, August 20 at 11:56 am
The yard and patio look fabulous!! Awesome job!! Glad for the rain – I am sure the ranch is breathing a sigh of relief. =0)
mama jenny On Thursday, August 20 at 11:57 am
I here ya, sista. I've been married to a farmer for 24 years, and not much bothers me anymore. If we're heading for a day out and a cow decides she needs help birthing her calf? . That's life in agriculture. I wouldn't change any of it.
jensamom23 On Thursday, August 20 at 11:59 am
Looks pretty! Married to the Ag life, too, Ree. Rain is a good thing…can you send some our way, though? Please?
LISA C PARSONS On Thursday, August 20 at 12:03 pm
Trudy On Thursday, August 20 at 12:05 pm
The deck area looks great. I was afraid you were going to say you got high winds and everything blew from there to the big city. Rain is good but at the right time-in the middle of the night. Guess we have had our share so far this summer.
echristine1 On Thursday, August 20 at 12:07 pm
Rain in August is GOOD! Our crops and pastures needed it, too.
Robbin On Thursday, August 20 at 12:09 pm
We too make our living in agriculture and rain in August is ALWAYS a blessing. The Lodge looks great and you will get a LOT MORE use out of the outdoor area now that it's all fixed up. My front porch is so blah, 'cause I never go out there, 'cause its so blah, 'cause I never go out there, 'cause its so BLAH! Hmmmmm. I think I need to do what you did :)!!! FRONT PORCH MAKEOVER TIME!!!
Cate On Thursday, August 20 at 12:10 pm
Looks great ! Very inviting… hope you got the cushions in before the downpour started! More photos please!
Thanks! PS send some rain east please!
Thunja On Thursday, August 20 at 12:13 pm
love, love the planters and all the terra cotta pots. well done. give us some more pics.
Bri On Thursday, August 20 at 12:13 pm
It looks fantastic. I like the pops of orange. And I just discovered crepe myrtle – can you believe it? I love the little pods that they leave behind. And the bright pink color.
Terry in Indiana On Thursday, August 20 at 12:17 pm
Rain is God-sent in August, for sure! We've gotten some of that blessed wet stuff here in Indiana too. Things were looking a little brown.
Married to an Aussie in OK On Thursday, August 20 at 12:18 pm
AHA! So it's not ALL my fault it's raining. My son's been blaming me since it started because I had watered the garden that morning. I'm glad to see someone else can shoulder the burden of the water that is standing in our grass that desperately needs to be mowed. And I love the new deck and hope you get to use it soon!
Barb On Thursday, August 20 at 12:19 pm
Looks gorgeous! Great job.
Jillian On Thursday, August 20 at 12:22 pm
Looks great. Rain happens. And happens.
Sue On Thursday, August 20 at 12:25 pm
Mother Nature has a way of bringing us back to reality doesn't she!
The deck looks great! Very natural, cozy, and inviting.
kath On Thursday, August 20 at 12:25 pm
A screened in gazebo? Wouldn't that be nice? I love being outside in the rain
Sandy On Thursday, August 20 at 12:29 pm
Here in Tennessee, we've been in a drought for years, but this year have had a FOOT!!! of rain since June. Everyone's now remarking on how we've had yet another rainstorm, but everyone also quickly says, "Not that I'm complaining, Lord …"
Tootall On Thursday, August 20 at 12:30 pm
LOL Ahhhh, nature. God has a weird sense of humor Looks awesome, though! =D
Becky @ Farmgirl Paints On Thursday, August 20 at 12:41 pm
I love your thankful heart. What pretty views. You are blessed indeed:)
MegS On Thursday, August 20 at 12:47 pm
Well…it looks awesome anyway. Very rustic but somehow elegant at the same time. Does that make sense? Probably not.
Are you sure you didn't wash the cars and trucks, too? Rain is always good. How does that saying go…'Man plans, God laughs'…something like that.
Teresa Camp On Thursday, August 20 at 12:58 pm
Jennifer On Thursday, August 20 at 1:01 pm
Looks beautiful! You can enjoy it and maybe the magazine folks can come back on a sunny day;)
Heidi Fremony On Thursday, August 20 at 1:05 pm
You know, eventhough it is August, your pictures make it look cool and comfortable. I don't know about where you are, but in Georgia, the humidity is off the charts. Eventhough the temperature is low 90s, it feels like over 100. I wish I could just sit on that porch or deck, I'd probably stay there all day and jingle the ice in my glass for someone to bring me more lemonade or sweet tea. It is interesting to see all the green in the background of these pics. The green in Georgia has pretty much turned brown from the heat. YUCK!!!
ms ellie On Thursday, August 20 at 1:08 pm
we've had our share here in TN, of rain that is….
readhead.kate On Thursday, August 20 at 1:11 pm
Well, now if they come back, you can do a 2nd round of primping. Something to look forward to…or not.
I kind of like the tied down tree. It looks like you are trying to tame nature in the midst of all the rustic-ness. Tell Josh good job.
readhead.kate On Thursday, August 20 at 1:14 pm
I also understand not really being upset when it rained. I work for a farm and we use lots of big machinery that sometimes has to be moved on regular roads. Let's just say that now it is paying my bills…I don't get so upset if I get behind slow moving farm equipment.
ValerieC On Thursday, August 20 at 1:32 pm
Murphy strikes again!

Light Mine Magnetic Orb Flashlight
Won't blow up
- Not an underwater naval mine or a shock ball
- It's a flashlight with magnets so you can work hands-free
- Regular (golf ball size) or Pro (baseball, with moar lights!)
Won't blow up
That headline may be a lie. You see, the folks at Light Mine have assured us on multiple occasions that the Light Mine Magnetic Orb Flashlight is only a flashlight and that its similarity to an underwater naval mine is merely in design, not function. We're inclined to believe them, but The X-Files taught us to Trust No One. In that spirit, we recommend caution when inviting a Light Mine into your home and will offer a full refund if in fact, a Light Mine detonates in your house.
Seriously, though. The Light Mine Magnetic Orb Flashlight is the coolest hands-free lighting device on the block. Simply stick it to any magnet-friendly surface and aim it where you need light. We love it for doing a little DIY around the house (and the magnets come in handy for scooping up wayward screws). It's also a handy friend to have in your car in case of a late-night flat tire or engine trouble. Stick one on the fridge and you'll always have a flashlight handy for when the power goes out!
Product Specifications
- Looks like an underwater naval mine, but it's a flashlight!
- Use it to point light exactly where you need it and work hands-free
- Powerful magnets also make it a great "pick-up" tool for grabbing dropped screws, nails, or hardware
- Use it for:
- Fixing a flat tire at night
- A hazard light for your bike or motorcycle
- Repairs in dark spaces, like under the sink
- Adventures in power outages
- Camping trips, hiking, and outdoorsy stuff
- Light Mine:
- About the size of a golf ball
- 12 neodymium magnets to attach and aim hands-free
- Super bright white LEDs shed light on the situation
- Batteries: 3 LR44 (included, replaceable)
- Light Mine Professional:
- About the size of a baseball
- 11 neodymium magnets to attach and aim hands-free
- Front white lens has 8 LEDs
- Back red lens has 4 LEDs
- Four light functions: low power spot, high output flood, red night vision, high visibility signal beacon
- Batteries: 3 AAA (included, replaceable)
Wanna chat about it?

Portland Fire
Firefighters have gotten a three-alarm fire in Portland's Old Port district under control. The blaze broke out early Thursday morning around 1:30 a.m at a multi-story commercial building on Wharf and Fore streets. Dozens of tenants of upper floor apartments were evacuated…. Luckily no injuries were reported. Several businesses are housed in the building… The fire is believed to have started at Joe's New York Pizza… Although there was no immediate word on a cause. The fire was under control by 5 am… The Fire chief on the scene said it was difficult to tame because of the buildings ages and its tight spaces. The entire Portland fire department and crews from several surrounding towns helped to put out the blaze.

Eating out in Bristol - Mark Taylor reviews City Deli, The Paragon, Victoria Street
Posted: April 18, 2014|
Victoria Street is virtually unrecognisable from the seedy, rundown parade of boarded-up shops it was 25 years ago.
In recent years, a raft of new offices and apartments have sprung up around the Finzels Reach development on the site of the old Courage brewery, breathing new life into the area.
This regenerated part of the city's floating harbour has a decidedly London Docklands feel, so it should come as no real surprise that new businesses are jostling to secure sites that have the potential for café or restaurant use.
City Deli is the first business from Bill and Christine Rennie and their daughter, Natalie. Bill used to work as an area manager for a large supermarket so he is well versed in the importance of sites with large footfall.
The Rennies have clearly done their homework – the queue at City Deli had wrapped itself around the room by 12.15pm on the weekday I visited and most table space was taken.
A light and airy place with two long wood tables in the centre for people to share, this café-cum-deli has a vaguely industrial look.
Fridges are packed with pre-made sandwiches and salads and one wall is taken up by boxy white shelves of crisps, packets of posh biscuits and colourful French lemonades in artisanal flip-top bottles.
Huge chalkboard menus display the daily soups – these included chorizo and butterbean (£2.70 regular or £3.30 large), or Stilton and broccoli (£2.50/£3.10) and a pasta dish of the day – on this occasion, homemade macaroni cheese and salad for £4.75.
From the fridges, choices included kimchi beef noodle salad, Reuben pastrami sandwich and homemade yoghurt pots.
My jerk chicken plantain wrap (£4.15) contained plenty of mildly spiced chicken pieces with cubes of ripe mango, some snipped spring onions and crunchy lettuce.
I followed it with a deep, moist, zesty slice of gluten-free orange polenta cake (£2.40), one of several GF options devised by co-owner Christine.

Popular Dinner Lecture Series Offers Food for the Mind and Palate
Lakewood, N.J., Feb. 25, 2011—Georgian Court University offers a glimpse into the life and work of four women painters who broke new ground for their gender with "Breaking the Mold: Women Painters," a multimedia presentation, on Friday, March 4, at 6:30 p.m. Part of Georgian Court's popular Adventures in the Arts: Dinner and an Artist series, a complete Continental dinner will be served. Enjoy dessert and coffee during the presentation.
"I think people will enjoy hearing about these women painters who were caught up in the unique histories of their times. We have Romantic French painters Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun, who was the official painter for Marie Antoinette and had to flee when the Revolution began, along with her counterpart Adélaïde Labille-Guiard, who worked for the revolutionaries, even painting Maximilien Robespierre," says Lisa Festa, Ph.D., GCU assistant professor of art, who will be your travel guide on this armchair journey.
"Then we have Neoclassical painter Angelica Kauffmann, who, despite her Swiss heritage, was one of the founders of the British Royal Academy. And our other French painter, Rosa Bonheur, was a Realist who was brought up with the very unique religion of Saint-Simonianism—followers of which believed in a female Messiah."
Dr. Festa will also present two more lectures as part of this ongoing Friday night series this spring:
All Dinner and an Artist events are $37 per person and take place in the North Dining Room on Georgian Court University's Lakewood campus at 6:30 p.m. Reservations are required. To reserve your place, contact the Office of Conferences and Special Events at 732.987.2263 or email@example.com.
About the PaintersÉlisabeth Vigée-Lebrun (1755–1842) was a rare female member of the Academie Royale. Adélaïde Labille-Guiard (1749–1803), who was also a member of the Academie Royale, enrolled at the Academie de St. Luc at the age of 20. Rosa Bonheur (1822–1899) disdained traditional female conventions, and Angelica Kauffmann (1741–1807) spearheaded the establishment of the British Royal Academy.
Founded in 1908 and sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy, Georgian Court University is a comprehensive university with a strong liberal arts core and a special concern for women. A forward-thinking university that supports diversity and academic excellence, Georgian Court serves nearly 3,000 students of all faiths and backgrounds in a residential Women's College and a coeducational University College with undergraduate and graduate programs. Georgian Court's main campus is located at 900 Lakewood Avenue, Lakewood, N.J., on the picturesque former George Jay Gould estate, now named a National Historic Landmark. Georgian Court also offers classes at its site at One Woodbridge Center in Woodbridge, at Coastal Communiversity in Wall, and at Cumberland County College in Vineland.

March brings Daylight Saving Time, St. Patrick's Day, the beginning of spring and student spring break.
Not to mention spring cleaning. I figure if the décor outside is changing, the décor inside should, too.
Spring means to start anew, and changing my surroundings helps reinforce that. These are a few guidelines I try to go by:
●If I bring a new item home, I discard an old one.
●If I haven't seen an item in more than a year and haven't missed it, chances are I can probably get rid of it without losing sleep.
●With every item I ask myself, 'Does it have sentimental value? Do I love the item? and 'Does it serve a purpose?'
In the past few weeks, I have become interested in yard sales. With the pleasant weather lately, it has been a perfect time to have them, so they have been popping up everywhere. I have been thinking of having one myself this month.
So, instead of throwing items away, why not dispose of them in other ways? Give them away, donate them or have a yard sale?
Just a thought!
Switching gears, I have tried several times to read Laurel Hill School's marquee sign. It can cause traffic jams, and I figure if I'm having trouble, others are as well, so I'm going to start listing those items here.
Currently, in Marquee News:
● Jennifer Franklin is Laurel Hill School's Teacher of the Year.
●Joann Jackson is the school's Support Staffer of the Year.
●Kindergarten registration starts this month.
●Junior class Hobo Cards are on sale for $10 at supporting businesses including Country Folks and Huddle House in Florala. Mia's Italian Restaurant, Waffle House, Coney Island, Forever Kids, Uncle Bill's Family Restaurant and Los Rancheros.
That's it for this week. Until next time, be safe and God bless!

I purchased the Left and Right splash guard for my car. I was just wondering if the parts were not meant for a CS? I ordered the parts a while back and just this weekend got around to putting them on, and everything fits right except the bottom.
Asked by Candi Y. from Valdosta | Comment 0 0
Best Answer:
california special edition mustangs accept the same splash shields as standard v6 and gt mustangs. there is a lower air deflector, though, that's unique to the cs mustang. it fits behind the front bumper and attaches to each side of the bumper cover at the splash shields. you may be missing that piece. it comes as part of our california special front bumper cover kit, or can be ordered separately.

At left: Paula Stockholm, creator of Maine GayNet, sits beside her computer at her Cumberland home. Maine GayNet was among the earliest of state-oriented Internet lists for gay people. Staff photo by Doug Jones
Reminiscences of a first kiss. Accounts of discrimination. Chit-chat about a new nightclub, religion and sex, human rights legislation and how to survive and thrive being gay in Maine.
It's all part of Maine GayNet, an Internet mail list that has broken the isolation of gays and lesbians in this far-flung state since going online in 1994.
''It's common for a lot of us, as we discover we're gay or lesbian, to feel we're the only ones, and on Maine GayNet we're almost guaranteed there are other people like us that will understand,'' said Paula Stockholm, who created Maine GayNet.
''The way I phrase it is, it creates community where there is none,'' she said.
In recent months, GayNet subscribers have shared gossip that gay-rights opponent Carolyn Cosby was leaving Maine (a rumor proven untrue); urged one another to lobby for the gay rights bill now in the Legislature; traded Valentine's Day recollections of first kisses; crowed over Ellen DeGeneres' ''coming out'' on the TV sitcom ''Ellen'' last Wednesday; and traded opinions, advice and insights of particular interest to homosexuals and their friends.
''There's news in there, personals, help-wanted,'' said Patricia Peard, a Portland lawyer and gay rights activist. ''It's a little cyberspace newspaper.''
State-oriented Internet lists for gay people are ''popping up all over the place,'' but Maine GayNet was among the earliest, said Kathleen DeBold, deputy director of the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund in Washington, D.C.
''Not everyone can move to the city, the 'gay ghetto,' '' DeBold said. With an Internet mail list, ''people can keep connected with politics, social events and make friends.''
DeBold said the Internet also provides valued anonymity for gay men and lesbians who haven't acknowledged their homosexuality publicly but want to communicate with people like themselves.
GayNet is not a live, interactive ''chat room.'' Rather, it is a list to which subscribers write e-mail, knowing that it is sent automatically to every other GayNet subscriber.
Stockholm, who studies communications at the University of Southern Maine, estimated there are 300 subscribers today compared with about 90 two years ago. The list generates four or five messages daily, or, for the cyber-savvy, about nine megabytes monthly.
Anyone can subscribe by contacting the Internet address ''email@example.com'' and then typing in ''subscribe me-gaynet''. Because it is by nature a medium for reaching many people, the discussions, information and e-mail names that appear on GayNet are not confidential.
Stockholm's creation of Maine GayNet in 1994 was just in time for the statewide debate over Question 1, a 1995 ballot proposal that would have limited legal protection from discrimination to those categories already listed in the Maine Human Rights Act.
Among the categories that would have been left out was sexual orientation.
Jim Fotter lived in Caribou at the time and was a local organizer of the ''Vote No on One'' campaign.
It was not a popular position in Aroostook County. ''All we saw were 'Yes on 1' signs,'' Fotter recalled. ''It was very lonely.''
It would have been lonelier without GayNet. ''One of the things (GayNet) helped us do was feel connected'' to other gay rights supporters in Maine, Fotter said.
Via GayNet, Fotter shared his frustrations, offered advice on strategies that would sway Aroostook voters and absorbed lots of moral support.
Fotter, who now lives in Brunswick, experienced the support of GayNet in a different context in February of this year.
He was returning from a work assignment in Aroostook when bad weather forced him to stop in Bangor and take a motel room for the night. ''I woke up to find my car vandalized, tires slashed, mirrors smashed,'' he said.
The fact that his car had a rainbow bumper sticker, symbolizing support for gay rights, and was the only vehicle vandalized suggested the crime was motivated by anti-gay bias.
Five hours later, Fotter was typing an account of the incident onto GayNet.
''What I have experienced for the first time in my life is the symbol of violence in apparent retaliation for a six-colored, 50-cent piece of paper adhered to my car bumper,'' he wrote.
Fotter's posting prompted an outpouring of 40 messages of sympathy, consolation and support. One writer sponsored a collection to help pay for Fotter's car insurance deductible. Over and over, the comforting message came through: ''We're here to help you and talk with you.''
''To me, (GayNet) is a perfect example of something that was a simple idea that's helped us help each other and act as a community even if we're far apart,'' Fotter said.

I have worked my way up to MP4 and I havnt found any upgrades at all. All the yellow an orange items I find are junk. Is there a trick Im missing or will this get better with Loot 2.0? I know these items must drop somewhere, people are selling them on the AH ;).

You get lucky.
My winter flurry(for example) is worth anywhere from 4mil to 7,5mil Gold in HC AH. And I thought it was quite good(+27 int, +20 vit, 2% chance to freeze) until I saw one that I suspect is hacked. It had +75 int, +82 vit and 10-24dmg(it's usually 2-5, sometimes 1-4 or 3-6). That's just...WTF!!! HAX! Because for a level 10 item to have those beastly stats is just...unheard of(oh both mine and that winter flurry had a socket). It practically doubles your stats on that level!
Duping, hacking, cheating. That's the name of the game I'm afraid. And the best part? Always online did nothing to stop them. It merely hinders us in the Hardcore(it's always like that-when the big lords are battling, the common folk gets the dick up their arses).
Either that or try running with a full gear of %mfind. It's supposed to help you with stats(nobody verified this so...). And obligatory MP 10. But it's nothing better tbh. I am playing through normal and nightmare on MP 10 and my drops are still crap. Yes, they are mostly Rare items, but they are crap rare items.
I'd suggest to either play the Marketplace Tycoon or wait for loot 2.0. That which you have mentioned is the very driving force behind the loot 2.0. So that when you defeat an Act boss, do the event or open resplendent chest, you feel like you did in Diablo 2. Awesome with all the rares, uniques and sets dropping like, excuse the perhaps misused American saying, cats and dogs.
(Perhaps we{HC crowd} even get an offline mode seeing how the major driving factor behind the always online went offline{or rather will soon: RMAH}-I'm so sad about Gold AH tho :( )

Best way to get good loot (ilvl 63) is to do MP1-2 in speed runs and having high MF/Paragon levels. The closer you are to MF 300% (cap) the more loot you get and the better chance you get a good ilvl 63 rolled loot. Of course a lot of the game relies on luck of the draw (be sure to have 5 stacks of NV at all times). Also some items like rings and amulets only require ilvl 62 and a perfect roll to massively boost your stats (esp if they roll with the CRIT DMG and CRIT chance as well as the ATK SPD stat). It's been proven be more beneficial to run thru the game and killing everything fast than run a high MP game and killing slow / dying so only do the MP you are comfortable with.
Generally recommended levels:
35,000 - 50,000 DMG suggested MP 1-2
50,000 - 75,000 DMG suggested MP 2-3
75,000- 100K DMG suggested MP 4-5
100K - 125K DMG suggested MP 5-6
125K - 150K DMG suggested MP 6-7
150K - 175K DMG suggested MP 7-8
175K - 200K DMG suggested MP 8-9
200K+ suggested MP9-10
Note: it's recommended from MP 1-5 to have at least 36-40K HP and around 500-600 resistance to all. If you are going to do the higher MP above 5 it is recommended to have at least 700 resist to all and around 40K-50K HP so at least you can survive getting hit a couple times before dying.
Note that as your gear gets to the top it gets harder and harder to find gear (probably a dozen run for 1 upgrade). Also if you buy from the RMAH/AH upgrades tend to be more expensive EXPONENTIALLY. Gear that can boost your Damage over 100K can cost a ton of money (50-100M+) those people with 200K damage pretty much have top line gear and they probably spend several hundreds million gold on it.

If you play enough, you will get lucky.
I got some very nice items, though most i cannot use, and have sold them in the AH/RMAH so i can buy upgrades.
Before i decided to sell all my stuff and prepare for the expansion, i get my wizard up to 520k+ dps and it took quite a while. While i use the RMAH to sell my stuff, and pump that money back into gear, i never spent a dime of my own. In fact, i made the game back.
So it can be done .. just you have to play quite a bit. The best items i have found are a cc mempo that sold for like $50 and a LS echo fury with a gem slot that also sold for a similar amount.

This was taken during Bhudda's Birthday, sort of like the Bhuddist version of Christmas. Only during it, every Bhuddist in town makes little paper lanterns and participates in a march through town. In Seoul this meant that there was a march of about 100,000 people silently walking with little coloured lotus lanterns. My girlfriend at the time and I visited a big temple in the area of Insa-Dong. The effect of a million paper lanterns quietly swinging in the breeze was most definitely the calmest feeling I've ever experienced. Add to that the fact that on each of these lanterns is a little card with someone's name and their wish and you have the best holiday I've ever heard of.

Crazy Bagel

The parking roulette goes like this: Street cleaning every Wednesday and Friday for street cleaning that never seems to happen. Protest or negligence costs forty bucks. My neighbors stack the game, leaving their cars on the safe side for days at a time.
Ticket time begins at 10 a.m., easy for most people, but I am not most people. A) I work at night. B) My overactive thinker makes sleep an uncertainty. Never sure when it will happen and for how long. Most days I'm okay with 4 or 5 hours, others, well no alarm exists that can rouse me from my crash.
I crashed last night. Woke at 9:58. A quick internal budget provided the funds for continued inertia. Pride made me stand. Axe body spray, a fresh fabric skin, the pre-packed survival satchel, and I was off, drowsy and muddled.
The great thinkers of LA congregate in coffee houses. You can tell their quality by the ones they choose, funky or independent. The problem with the funk is the employees work to their own standard. The Latino kid at Psychobabble on Vermont kept his low. The wifi and parking are the only reasons to go there no matter whose working.
He vanished, simply vanished after putting my bagel in the toaster. A line of thinkers formed in his absence. They called out for assistance and whispered strategies to procure the network passwords. Finally, the kid appeared, oblivious or reveling in the malevolent stares.
Then, she arrived, a whirlwind that cut the line with unmedicated fury. She wanted nothing but to express her world view to the under caffeinated and that view pertained to Psychobabble and how she hated it, the employees, the owners, and all the great thinkers who toiled there.
She'd been burned by bad service, used as a sperm dump by some guy called Gary, and fuck us all for not appreciating all she did for Los Angeles, Los Feliz, and the generality of the world. It was the type of performance that reminds you exactly where you are. LA is a city of well-groomed crazy, generally isolated in their cars and homes, just looking for a stage.
And since that crazy's been honed in pursuit of some craft, public displays come furnished with headshots on request. At the door, she spun around, paused for the proper beats, and said "I hate this fucking place." Several people thought about asking for a glossy at that moment. You could see it in their eyes.
And me without my headphones.
I went to the counter where the kid remained, a little shellshocked, but grateful for the buffer the counter provided.
"Puta," he muttered. "Crazy, huh?"
"Yeah," I replied. "Can I have my fucking bagel, kid? It's been 15 minutes."

The Racist down my road

At number 94 there's an ex-boxer in his fifties.
He wears a denim jacket and flannel shirt.
His barrel chest has aquiesced to age and his stomach has become a weight-watcher's nightmare.
His hairstyle is a sort-of cross between Tommy-rocker and late Elvis impersonator.
He's also a racist.
Usually it's just dirty looks and something muttered under his breath, but other times I can make out the words 'fucking' and 'paki' and he spits whenever I walk past or he cycles by, breathing heavily, face redder than a baboon's backside.
I've considered saying something.
But what do I say? Do I shout, swear, chastise, mock, pity?
If he hasn't learnt anything in his fifty-odd years on this planet what words can I throw at the fool?
What difference will it make?
In the end, I just shrug and walk by.
I feel nothing.

Why I Blog
Posted by
on 1 Feb 08
It seems to me that, at least in my area, we live disconnected from each other IRL. Families don't eat together much, don't do much of anything together. We don't talk to our neighbors, and I don't think anyone in my town knows who their local beat-cop is, much less would ask him for help with anything (our cops are scary). We don't watch our fellow humans as if they were people. We watch them as if they were objects put in our way for the mere purpose of annoyance. Please and Thankyou? Pfft. Who the hell heard of that?
So, with a lack of RL socialization, I turn to the blog, seeking connection, friendship, something to cure that "O
h God I'm alone and surrounded by idiot zombies
" feeling that curls deep within my black little heart.
I just can't identify with my 20-something peers with their 2-3 young children, wellfare and mcdonalds lifestyles supported (HAPPILY!- how do they manage to be happy in such poverty?) by bad jobs and the nightly napenthe of booze. I look at them- my peers who never did much after graduation, and try to strike up conversations, when words falter.
I don't have anything in common with these people, these wage-slaves who spend so much time with their kids and their crap jobs that they've forgotten there is a life beyond that box, that other things exist. I don't drink, I don't do illegal drugs. I read. I write. I use "Big" words like Genre, sycophant and plebian.
I look at the people I knew in high school, and I have nothing to say to them. They look at me; the feeling's mutual. We both speak english, live in the same city. But our values, our lives, our loves are so different that we might as well be speaking different languages.
So... I blog. I chat. I e-mail. I digitally communicate, because, goddamnit, I need wit. I need vitriolic sarcasm. I need
I need sharp, curious minds, people aware of what's around them.

i miss the days of having hobbies like chain smoking and drinking enough coffee to cause tetanus-like symptoms. i have a soft spot for egotists and megalomaniacs (suppose the difference between them is really sort of subtle and probably unimportant). i might be one or the other. i can't decide if i want to do what i can to help the human race survive itself, or sit back and enjoy a nice drink while watching things continue to spiral downward. i find it a bit humorous that i taste as bitter as i feel.
yes, i just licked myself to test this (my ARM, for god's sake you sick fucks. christ.).

Today I'll be far less accessible via the internet.
Last night, instead of getting work done I had productive conversations with Ms S, Mr B, and Mr R. Poked at a few story fragments half-heartedly, gave up.
Even last night I was preoccupied with what's coming this morning- news about the raise situation.
I'll read anything you post here during my lunch, maybe even reply. E-mail, however, probably won't get a reply until tonight.
Tell me anything.

Mario Mandzukic could soon find himself joined at the Emirates by Bayern Munich team-mate and often-mooted Premier League target Xherdan Shaqiri.
The 22 year-old has more commonly been linked with a Liverpool switch, but famed for his mixture of power and technique, he'd more than suit Arsenal's style of play too – just take a look at his fancy footwork in this vid…
The attacking midfielder has proved a useful cameo performer for the German Champions following his move from FC Basel in 2011, finding six goals and two assists in 17 Bundesliga outings this season. He also netted this cool nut-meg finish for Switzerland in a World Cup warm-up friendly…
Furthermore, although Shaqiri is considered to be one of Europe's top prodigies, a lack of game time with the Bavarians is stifling his progress.
A summer departure is widely expected, but speculation thus far suggests Liverpool are already close to an agreeement…

WACO (April 27, 2012) -- Josh Turley had his bid for a no-hitter broken up with a one-out single in the eighth inning, but he combined with two relievers on a shutout, as No. 3 Baylor knocked off No. 25 New Mexico State, 5-0, on Friday night at Baylor Ballpark.
Turley (7-0) tossed 7.1 shutout innings and allowed one hit with two walks and five strikeouts. He threw 75 of his 106 pitches for strikes and allowed only three runners past first base. Crayton Bare and Joey Hainsfurther took care of the rest, combining on 1.2 innings of scoreless relief.
"I'm not going to pull him out of a no-hitter," head coach Steve Smith said. "His pitch count wasn't that high, but he was pushing it. When I went out, I wasn't 100 percent sure I was taking him out. I asked him, and he qualified how he felt, so I felt like it was time to go."
Baylor (37-8) won its school-record 19th straight home game to earn its best 45-game record in program history, one win better than the 36-9 start in 1999.
New Mexico State (30-12) managed only three singles in the game, but starting pitcher Ryan Beck held the Baylor offense in check through the first five innings, and the game was scoreless headed to the sixth.
After Turley retired the side in order on 10 pitches in the top half of the sixth, the Baylor offense broke through for three runs in the bottom half. Max Muncy drew a one-out walk, and Josh Ludy, Logan Vick and Dan Evatt followed with consecutive singles to give Baylor a 1-0 lead. Cal Towey added a two-run double before Beck escaped the inning.
"We weren't getting a lot of things done but it was still a tight ball game, and we finally do get a couple guys on and Towey gets what I thought was probably the significant hit," Smith said. "It's what we talk about working the cut, it's a boxing term, and that's what this game felt like to me. We're chipping away early, throwing punches, not knocking anybody out. Eventually you do pretty well, you keep doing that and something good can happen, and that's what happened tonight."
Beck (4-3) took the loss after allowing three runs on seven hits with two walks and six strikeouts. Five NMSU relievers combined to allow two runs over the final 3.0 innings.
Ludy's sacrifice fly in the seventh extended Baylor's lead, and Jake Miller's RBI single in the eighth capped the scoring at 5-0. Miller finished 2-for-4, while Towey had two RBI and Nathan Orf and Muncy had one hit and two walks apiece.
After an error with one out in the eighth, Tanner Waite dropped a single inside the left-field line to end Turley's no-hit bid and his day on the mound. Bare came out of the bullpen to get the next two batters to keep the shutout intact, and Hainsfurther worked around two singles in the ninth.
Baylor improved to 11-0 this season in games started by Turley, all of which were the first game of a weekend series or tournament, and Turley lowered his team-leading ERA to 1.74. Friday was the eighth time in 11 starts this season that Turley held opponents to no more than one earned run.
The two-game series concludes when the teams meet again at 12:05 p.m. Saturday in the Bears' final game before a 10-day break for final exams. Saturday's game will be one of three remaining regular-season games at Baylor Ballpark, where the Bears are 26-3 this season.

Science fiction comedy on the lowest of low budgets, Red Dwarf began life as the demented ramblings of Rob Grant and Doug Naylor and ended its nine series run as a cult phenomenon with a huge fan following. Red Dwarf was the story of Lister (Craig Charles), the last human being alive, Rimmer (Chris Barrie), a hologram of his dead bunk mate and a creature who evolved from the ship's cat (Danny John Jules), all of whom are stuck on a large mining vessel three million years in the future. It was an entirely off-the-wall comedy but with jokes that ranged from the inspired (Lister appearing behind Hitler at Nuremburg and mocking his genital shortcomings) to the utterly bizarre (the crew being stalked by a curry monster) Red Dwarf was an unapologetically demented comedy. It hasn't aged all that well given that early episodes were made for roughly the same price as a bag of crisps, but the series remains one of the BBC's all-time comedy greats.
Quarantine (Series 5, Episode 4). Rimmer is infected by a holo-virus and imprisons the crew. "Mr Flibble is very cross."
The word show's expletive, 'smeg' is used 194 times across the show's eight seasons.

The former Republic of Ireland international has been out of management since leaving Al Ahli in April 2011.
He has been away from the game in England since seeing his contract at Aston Villa terminated by mutual consent in July 2006.
Prior to a stint at Villa Park, O'Leary had spent six years at Leeds - two as assistant to George Graham and four as manager.
He oversaw a productive period in the Whites' history, as they spent big chasing the dream and graced the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League in 2000/01.
Reports have suggested that O'Leary is among those being considered to fill the managerial void at Elland Road created by Warnock's decision to quit the Championship club, and the 54-year-old has welcomed the rumours.
"I still live in the area and they (the supporters) have been absolutely fantastic," O'Leary said.
"I'm very flattered that people remember me up there.
"I don't want to influence anyone but it wasn't my decision to leave and the supporters have always been there for me. That's why I've stayed in the area. It's a fantastic place to live."

Best Hip-Hop Artist St. Louis 2005 - Spaide R.I.P.P.E.R.
With his big braids and big smile, Spaide is everywhere -- car shows, clubs, picnics, even orphanages. His ubiquitous street team is composed of eight women, ages seventeen to twenty-one, and their daughters, and they hand out swag galore at these events -- everything from Spaide CDs to Spaide towels. Spaide's yet to break out on a national level, though his single, "Always," gets play on a handful of mainstream radio stations around the nation. It's the Lou where big Spaide gets his love -- well, here and Boonville, where he played to a bar full of bikers earlier this year on a bill with Ruka Puff. "Our crews were the only black people there," recalls Spaide. But it was all good. "They clapped for us at the end!" See, even leathered classic-rock fans can't help but fall under the spell of "Da People's Champ." Maybe it's because he doesn't go in much for profanity or samples. Maybe it's because he's got a track with Juvenile. Or maybe it's because he's -- sorry Spaide! -- so damn cute.

One way to get involved in Northern Michigan University's sustainability efforts is to serve on a committee that makes decisions about things happening on campus that have an environment impact.
The two committees that are specifically related to sustainability efforts are the On-Campus Environmental Committee, with oversight by the Engineering and Planning and Facilities and Operations departments, and the Environmental Innovation Program, which has oversight by Academic Affairs. These two committees are charged to work cooperatively to address and manage the majority of sustainability and environmental issues and initiatives. There are representatives from across the campus – students, faculty, staff and community members – on both committees. You can learn more about these committees via the links to the left.
However, there are some additional committees on campus that are not solely focused on environmental issues, but whose work and decision-making, at times, may involve decisions that impact NMU's sustainability. Some examples include the NMU Parking Committee (as it pertains to decisions about parking lots on campus and driving access), the Academic Senate (for academic course and program decisions) and the AQIP Steering Committee (in selection of the university's annual AQIP action projects).
To find out more about committee members for groups with sustainability impact, e-mail email@example.com and your e-mail will be forwarded to the appropriate committee chair who can respond with more details.

The Scaredy Cat Plant Lives Up to Its Name
The scaredy cat plant is aptly named, as it does to a good job of keeping cats out of places where you would rather not have them. The real name for the plant is Coleus canina, and it is a particularly attractive species of the coleus genus. The plant also goes by the names scaredy cat coleus and pee off plant.
Some Things Work – Some Don't
Some people go to great lengths to try to keep cats out of their yard and garden. Dogs will sometimes do the job of course, but not everyone wants a dog, and there are some cats who can hold their own against most breeds of dogs. When it comes to fighting, cats sometimes have street smarts that dogs don't. When a dog chases a cat under a car, things can quickly become one-sided. Shiny things are said to sometimes keep cats at a distance, but shiny things can sometimes attract other visitors. Cats are supposed to be afraid of snakes, and there are some who advocate placing a few rubber snakes around the yard.
The truth is, there are several plants you can grow in your yard that cats can't seem to stand the scent of. They don't like anything that has a citrus smell to it, nor do they care for peppermint or lavender scents. Rue is an herb that is both attractive in the garden and has a scent that cats don't seem to like one bit.
This article however is about the scaredy cat plant, which seems to be as effective in keeping cats away as just about anything else. In fact, it is said to do a good job of keeping dogs, rabbits, and a few other critters away as well. This plant is a member of the mint family. Its odor is, as far as cats are concerned, very similar to the odor of tomcat urine, although it is supposedly not the least bit offensive to humans. The plant has attractive foliage, ironically somewhat similar in shape and color to catnip, and features attractive blue flowers. It can be planted as a bedding plant, or as some gardeners have done, planted in pots, so it can be moved around to strategic locations, should the need arise.
Attractive, But Not All That Friendly
As attractive as this plant is, it is not always all that friendly to people either. Even though the leaves definitely indicate the plant belongs to the mint family, they are poisonous. So are the seeds. In fact all parts of the plants are poisonous. There are also some sharp spines on the plants, making it advisable to wear gloves when handling them, and the pollen will cause an allergic reaction in some people. If you plant a few of these, you'll keep cats away, but may keep some friends, neighbors, or relatives away as well during pollen season.
Characteristics of the Plant
Coleus canina is listed as an annual, although some growers say it can overwinter. It might be better classified as a half-hardy perennial. It will grow to a height of between 12 and 18 inches, and does best when planted in full sun. The colors of the flowers can vary from a medium blue, to lavender, to violet. The plant blooms repeatedly throughout the growing season. Coleus canina is highly drought tolerant, and it is definitely a low maintenance plant. While it has a tendency to spread slowly, the fact that it is only half hardy keeps it from becoming overly invasive. It does have a wandering characteristic however, so you might not want to plant it where its tendency to creep along the ground might cause a problem. In some gardens this plant is grown as much for its foliage as it is for its blooms. The foliage can provide a nice background that does not distract from other plants. Not everyone grows scaredy cat plants to keep cats away. Some grow the plant strictly on its merits as an attractive addition to a flower garden.
Upon looking at a few owners' reviews of this plant, it is apparent that is it effective against not only cats, but effective against dogs as well. Some owners say it has an odor similar to that of a skin if brushed up against. Others say the plant smells like a skunk whether you brush up against it or not. Still, almost everyone who has some of these plants seems to be pleased with them, and more than a few keep them as indoors plants.
Those who choose to propagate the plant say it is quite easy to do so from stem cuttings. If the side branches of a plant come into contact with the ground they will usually set roots. When sold at nurseries these plants are often sold in plugs. The plants can also be grown from seeds. If you live in a temperate climate, and have a problem with cats digging in your garden, or chasing after the song birds, you might consider giving a few of these plants a try.

But I first want to know just how rare it is to find a situation like this (in terms of practice space with drums set up), and perhaps whether it would be foolish on my part to leave so hastily. Is this a very rare occurrence? If I left, is it likely that I could find another band to join within the next few months that had a similar setup? Anyone have any general advice?
When you say "have their own practice space" do you mean not paying rent for it? Regardless I'd say about 20-25% of bands in my area have a kit you can use. I was just thinking about all the times I've tried out for bands, seems to me about 50% of the time it's at an industrial era building usually next to a railroad and they have to pay rent for it. The other 50% it's either at a house, apartment, dorm room or it's a room someones boss lets them use after work...
Of all the bands I've tried out for only one had drums and a practice space they didn't have to pay for. I think a couple weeks back someone put an ad up on here trying to get a better drummer than what they are so they could move to guitars or something like that. It's about 4 pages back...

Merger of three organizations promises stronger voice on sexual and reproductive rights
"The time has certainly come for this meeting of minds. Though sexual and reproductive education and service needs across this country are specific to each diverse community, community-based member organizations can now look to a grander, central force to which they belong. Perhaps this is the way they will see their experience and advice finally amplified and heard."

Axtell, Neb. - The Missouri Southern golf team shot a 291 as a team today and finished ninth overall at the 2013 Nebraska-Kearney Fall Invite, held at Awarri Dunes GC.
The 291 represents the lowest team total for a 54-hole event in the tenure of head coach Mike Wheeler.
Two separate Lions posted under-par totals today as both junior Ryan Buerk and freshman Taylor Lansford shot a one-under 71. Buerk finished with a three-round total of 228, while Lansford carded a 230.
The low round of the tournament, however, went to senior Andrew Maier as the Webb City native shot a 226 to finish tied for 27th individually. He finished the tournament with a 74.
Senior Ryan Russell shot a 75 on the day to finish with a 239, while sophomore Ethan Hutcheson had an 80 to finish with a 243.
Nebraska-Kearney won the tournament as they finished 14 strokes in front of second-place Lindenwood. Fort Hays was third, while Central Missouri and Central Oklahoma rounded out the top five team scores.
Northeastern State was sixth, followed by Missouri Western, Midland University, Southern, Washburn, Pittsburg State, Lincoln and Southwest Baptist.
The Lions will be in action on September 22 and 23 when Southern travels to St. Clouid, Minnesota to take place in the St. Cloud State Invite at St. Cloud Country Club.

Brown's Cones Hotline Moment [1]
Concerns over food waste are well-founded, but Brown's comments make him look out of touch
Concerns over food waste are well-founded, but Brown's comments make him look out of touch
by Martin Bright [2] Published
Gordon Brown's speech on Britain's food storage habits was a strange political moment. Could this be his version of John Major's Cones Hotline: not a bad idea in itself, but somehow redolent of the man himself. When the Prime Minister becomes a red-faced motorist in a traffic jam it's demeaning of his office. The Steve Bell image of Major with a cone on his head was almost as iconic as the underpants worn outside his trousers.
Brown is right to talk about not wasting food just as Major was right to be annoyed about roadworks. But the speech just reinforced the nation's idea of Brown as patronising, interfering and out-of-touch. As the 19th teenage knife-crime victim is named, we don't want to be told to eat up our greens.
