As far as You're Next goes, it is a step in the right direction but I'm still not sold on his abilities as a director. There is a lot of really good gore, the masks worn by the killers are very creepy and the twist ending was well done. But what really baffles me is whether or not the film was suppose to be scary or darkly funny. Considering how over the top and "Home Alone" esque the kills were conflicts with the very serious tone of the film as a whole. Also there were a number of scenes that just drove me nuts with the level of stupidity invloved from a writing stand point.
Overall I thought You're Next was mediocre.

Agree with both of you. I thought it was just okay, but not worth all of the hype. I've heard people describe it as a horror comedy, but I didn't find it funny at all, other then the dumb decisions. And the acting was awful! Not a fan of all these young Directors starring in each other's films. That being said, it had some fun ideas and some decent kills, and the masks were definitely cool.

london geek dinner
went to the
london geek dinner
at the
texas embassy cantina
just off of trafalger square.
it was fun, productive (i met some great people and had some good conversations) right up until scoble got the mic and his few words stretched into 30 minutes ... didn't expect a scoble-fest. i'll blame it on the feverish interest and the sheer fun it is to have a bunch of people interested in what you say as opposed to a carniverous ego. i'm not one for "a-list blogger spotting", so i didn't do the whole "OMFG you don't know me but i MUST try and say something witty about you ..." instead, i talked about the power of social software that people are trying to realize, both in society and the office. some people are able to do it, and some people are finding it difficult.

Thursday Brings Severe Weather Threat to Alabama
Montgomery, Alabama – (AP) - Another strong storm system is expected to push its way into Alabama.
National Weather Service forecasters say hazardous weather is
likely across central and southern counties Thursday.
The storms may produce heavy rain, dangerous cloud-to-ground
lightning, hail and strong wind gusts.
Meantime, Alabama Power Company said it has opened spillway
gates at six Coosa River dams - Weiss, Logan, Martin, Lay, Mitchell
and Jordan lakes. Another gate at Neely Henry lake will be opened
later Thursday.
Residents are urged to listen to media outlets and National
Weather Service radio for possible watches and warnings.

Teacher Accused of Teaching Drunk
A teacher in Marion County is pleading her case to school board members after accusations that she was drunk during class.
The school district's superintendent recommended Tuesday that Lanetta Saleh be fired from her job as a fifth grade teacher at Emerald Shores elementary in Ocala.
In October SaleH was called into the principle's office for showing signs of being drunk.
"Our school administrator observed some slurred speech, some erratic behavior patterns," Marion County School District Spokesperson, Kevin Christian told TV20.
Saleh is also accused of being drunk at a fifth grade ceremony last June.
She has hired an attorney and says the allegations are not true. Saleh is now on unpaid leave and asked for a hearing before being fired. School board members agreed. They have not yet set a date for the hearing.

ORIENTATION: Begins before dinner. We'll have an overview of the program ahead and review the up-to-date schedule, responsibilities, safety guidelines, emergency procedures, any other administrative issues, and answer your questions. Please be aware that local circumstances may require adjusting program elements. In the event of changes, we will notify you as quickly as possible. We appreciate your understanding.
Menus are contracted for the program and are designed to offer balanced, healthy meals for the participants. In addition to the regular Road Scholar meal plan, this hotel offers a vegetarian meal option. Unfortunately, there are no other special meal options. Participants with special dietary needs should be prepared to avoid certain foods or supplement the regular meal plan as needed.
Enjoy the remainder of the evening getting to know your fellow participants and discovering what you share beyond a love of lifelong learning.
In conjunction with the 2013 America�s Cup in San Francisco, a collection of Impressionist artworks will be on view at the Palace of the Legion of Honor. You will examine images of activities set on the waterways of 19th century France, including the popular pastimes of rowing and sailing, and explore the places chosen by these artists who settled and vacationed on the water.
When you arrive at the museum, you have one hour of free time to explore the museum as well as step outside and see spectacular views of the San Francisco skyline and the Pacific Ocean.
You then have a one hour docent-led visit through the Impressionists on the Water exhibit.
This program offers the participant an opportunity to learn about some of the important aspects of any one of the great religions of today�s world. Each program will include a discussion of the nature of religious thought, practice and tradition and then an overview/history of that particular tradition�s worldview, practices and engagement with the larger world community. Possible traditions include Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism and Christianity. Discussion of some of the major sects of each tradition will be included.
What does gender have to do with what�s funny? �Take my wife. Please.� As Henny Youngman�s famous line points out, it�s a common theory of comedy (thank you, Freud) that one way we use humor is to exploit the anxiety, tension or anger we have about different things. Men making jokes about women, women making jokes about men, and both making jokes about marriage and sex, have been a staple of our comedy diet since the beginning. Take Aristophanes, please. Over 2400 years ago, his plays were filled with comedy about the genders. And those cave drawings in France? What do you think they were talking about? How he won�t take out the garbage and how she put on a couple of extra pounds. Beginning with a short history of how gender has played out in humor, we will discuss the following questions: In what ways do the genders continue to battle out their differences through humor? What is the difference between women�s humor and men�s humor? Why does comedy tend to be so dominated by men? How do things change when a male or female say the same joke? How does gendered comedy challenge or uphold the values of the status quo? How does the humor of the gay/lesbian/bi/trans community enter into this? Employing audio and video examples and lots of jokes, this workshop, promises a lively, provocative and fun discussion.
Savor the unforgettable music of Gershwin, Porter, Rodgers & Hart, & Berlin, as we discuss the careers and musical styles of America�s most popular songwriters from the 20s to the 50s. Enjoy such favorites as I Got Rhythm, You�re The Top and White Christmas.
In the early part of the 20th century, Stravinsky elevated ballet music to an unprecedented level in a manner similar to that in which Beethoven had elevated the symphony a century earlier. While Stravinsky�s ballets produced strong reactions (at times violent) among Parisian audiences at their premieres, they have grown to be regarded as masterpieces of both the ballet stage and the concert hall. Stravinsky�s contributions to the genre will be examined from his first ballet (The Firebird � 1910) to his final ballet (Agon � 1957).

text: The show ended three years before Gadget's Go Coaster debuted and has been off the air in syndication for a number of years therefore making it quite unreatable to today younger generation. I as well many of you still have fond memories of the show but most kids today dont relate and many always think its based on Inspector Gadget. I dont understand why they don't get rid of this attraction since it really has no place in Toontown anymore along with the chip n' dale treehouse which has suffered greatly throughout the years and is no more than a tree you walk up and down in. That whole side of Toontown could really be used for something else, I'd even take Mickey's PhilharMagic because when I think about it, theres not else they can put there with such limited space.

Leading Copyright Expert Will Shift Focus to Corruption
The Daily Journal covered Professor Lawrence Lessig's Constitution Day lecture on corruption--the first public presentation of his new research direction. Lessig and Dean Kramer are quoted in the story:
Lawrence Lessig, a Stanford law professor and one of the nation's most prominent intellectual property experts, attempted Tuesday to explain his decision to move away from the field in which he made his reputation to focus on researching and combating corruption.
In a much anticipated speech in Palo Alto that was streamed live on the Web, Lessig said, "I invite you to see this as the beginning of a conversation that I plan to have with you for the next 10 years."
Then he blasted politicians from President Bush, who he said deserve to be impeached, to the Democrats in Congress he said failed to challenge Bush.
But Lessig also attacked corruption that he said warps public discussion about everything from federal nutrition guidelines to studies of new pharmaceutical drugs, all because of money and career ambitions.
"In this system of good people, how does the system become corrupt?"
His new intellectual venture has the enthusiastic support of Stanford Law School Dean Larry Kramer, who says legal studies need to be about more than judges and court rulings.
Kramer said Lessig's plans are somewhat risky, because it is not clear whether the professor will be able to establish new ideas and solutions to topics that have been in debate since the time of the ancient Greeks. "If anyone can, Larry can," Kramer said.
"The best scholars do that," Kramer said Tuesday. "You don't want to spend your career adding incrementally to what you've already done."

So what do you do after that? You hit the practice field on the first Saturday of March 2013 for the opening day of spring drills. Johnny Manziel's sophomore season at Texas A&M kicks off on Aug. 31 at Kyle Field against Rice.
ATLANTA — Should the NFL not work out for junior receiver Malcome Kennedy once his Texas A&M career wraps up, he might have a future as a breaking news reporter.
For all of the speculation, conjecture and plain common sense concerning whether A&M stars Johnny Manziel and Mike Evans will turn pro after their sophomore seasons, Kennedy offered the biggest clue about the duo's intentions — by speaking of them in the past tense nearly two months ago.
"It was fun watching them, and everybody would love to see them back here again, but you've got to make some decisions in life," Kennedy said on Nov. 9 after A&M's final home game. "And it was fun playing with them."
On Monday, senior analyst and former Dallas Cowboys executive Gil Brandt threw the weight of NFL.com behind Kennedy's early revelation by posting on his Twitter account, "No surprise, but Manziel and Evans will be playing final college games (Tuesday), multiple sources tell me."
The No. 21 Aggies (8-4) face No. 24 Duke (10-3) at 7 p.m. Tuesday, in what's long been considered by A&M insiders the final college game for Manziel, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner, and the probable final collegiate action for Evans, a record-setting receiver.
Evans spoke earlier this season about having an infant daughter to help care for, while Manziel said in the weeks after last season he'd explore his NFL options. He also said playing quarterback in the NFL has been his dream — typically code for, "I plan to declare for the NFL draft."
The young men, each expected to be first-round selections, have yet to officially declare for the draft, while trying to keep the focus on the Aggies winning a third consecutive bowl game for the first time.
Manziel leads the SEC in total offense (4,418 yards) and passing yards (3,732). The 6-foot-5 Evans owns two of the SEC's top five receiving games in history, with 287 yards against Auburn and 279 vs. Alabama this season.

Operating Systems
Education Software
Graphics Software
There are only a few operating systems on the market and they do try to tailor themselves to their users needs. Windows offers a number of built in games because Microsoft knows that everyone likes an occasional game. Unfortunately Windows does not allow you to alter the code to make the game you really like part of your personalized system.
This is all made possible because Linux and Unix make their source code available to the users. With other software, the companies/creators have all rights to that software. You are not allowed to make changes to the software; it comes as is and is meant to be used as it. This means you usually have to use their applications that are compatible with that system.

Ingesting Rick Simpson's "Hemp Oil"
Posted 10 September 2010 - 07:45 PM
I do not have cancer, but I have many other diseases which I have been smoking or vaporizing to treat. About a month ago, I started eating small amounts of the Simpson concentrate. I started with the rice sized pieces and now consume 1/4 inch ball of this "tar" each evening before bed. I was trying to get better sleep.
My sleep improved a LOT. But I now notice other things. Before starting this I would only have energy till about noon. I now have the energy I had 20 years ago. I feel an overall sense of well being. Is it the better sleep or are other factors involved?
I no long am able to notice much if I have smoked or vaporized. The "high" does not happen - even with hash and kief. But that is not missed. I do not need to smoke. The benefits I get from the Hemp Oil, has made me realize that smoking and vaporizing is inferior to ingestion. This is medicine of the highest potency; it is truly healing.
I now see smoking and vaporizing as mostly recreational - people look for the high they feel. I was happy with what smoking provided, but that is no longer the case. I suggest you test this for yourself. You will be amazed.
A friend of mine is on this - he started 2 months ago when his doctors told him the cancer in his liver and pancreas would kill him within 6 months or so. His doctor now can not find any trace of the cancers. Please do not start the argument pro or con that hemp oil cures cancer. I know it helps many people I personally know very well.
Test this yourself as posting pro or con will prove nothing.
Peace and good health to all,

Is Everclear considered a solvent? Are alcoholic tinctures legal?

Yes it is. Bummer. I do not know if alcohol tinctures are legal. Better check the laws before to do something that should not be illegal if you are a patient. The stronger your medicine the less you need for medical benefits. They are easy to make into tinctures, medables, ointments, etc. Good thing California allows mechanical processed concentrates like kief and ice water hash.
Oregon laws define cannabis to include concentrates, salts or derivative. To bad it is not seen this way in California.

I've seen a lot more places stocking glycerin tinctures. Those are supposed to be considered edible lipid extraction. Doesn't have that mouth wash-like vapor "bite" of alcoholic tinctures.

A little more involved to create, but awesome for a lot of edibles, and actually more effective than alcohol.
The active ingredients dissolve more fully into the glycerin.

I prefer the unrefined Hemp Oil - It has all the soluble stuff including the plant waxes - when all solvents are gone - it is stick tar like substance which will harden over time and become less sticky. Until each component of cannabis is tested, I do not want to risk refining any good thing from the complete extraction.
People make capsules and may mix other herbs to specific effects. About 200 milligrams is a strong dose.

i'm interested in any stories or actual accounts by people who have used green goo,ie simpson oil to cure,= ???? I am head coordinator of a public non profit called The Help and Hope Group.We provide OMMP support and mentoring.I've used pot for pain since 1976 .I was born without 4 vertabrae. I never thought it could do what it is these days.It's totally incredible and enough of us are doing the research now that the pharma companies can't stop it. The genie is out of the bottle so to speak.Hence now the need to do the research FOR REAL and document it to share with everyone.People growing a few plants and making their medicine for a whole year for next to nothing and then actually curing themselves.don't get no better in my book.so we're trying to get a group of patients hooked up with meds and then document the whole deal.cancer,hiv,diabetis,blood pressure,etc.
so any input from your end on actual accounts that have happened all the way to urban legend please consider sharing them.I know it will help.onward through the fog.

Hi Clinton ,
Check out OLCC Title 37 Chapter 471 Alcoholic Liquors Generally ,471.035 certain products excepted . They have it posted at the registry (which some would call a dispensary) here in H.R. Oregon, as they have alcohol tinctures on shelf. My link after clicking on link ,scroll down to 471.035 . Community and getting info out to folks is still my thing.

I put one e-mail up on Hightimes.com regarding my Rick Simpson Oil I make (it's not hemp oil people, hemp is not the same as cannabis) and my tinctures made from glycerine or infused oils (vegtable, olive, coconut, sunflower and my newest vitimin E infused oil for topical or ingesting) and I get so many out of state e-mails asking me how they can obtain the Rick Simpson Oil.
It is the true Wonder drug. I am happy to provide people with information and if you live in the Portland Oregon area or SW Washington are, the possibility of providing some medicine but please people DO NOT contact me asking me to do anything illegal such as Mail any product/medicine to you, or provide any medicine to you if you are not a current valid Oregon or Washington Medical Marijuana Card holder. Although it is now legal in Washington state, they have not worked out the laws yet so it is still ILLEGAL to buy or sell it to anyone whom is not a medical card holder.
Questions? Contact me at; firstname.lastname@example.com
I will do my best to share my knowledge with you.

At this point, two parts of a hoarder's brain become active. The brain's orbitofrontal cortex is involved in decision making and causes a hoarder to process this experience as a punishing one. At the same time, the hippocampus of a hoarder actively searches for memories about the object. The hoarder tries to remember the object: What it is and why they saved it in the first place. By contrast, people without hoarding problems just don't think about the object that much.
"What we find is that the brain is acting very, very differently when a person hoards," Tolin said. "When the person is trying to make a decision about what to throw away, it seems that the person who is hoarding is processing this activity as if it is deeply punishing."
"The person who hoards is going through a very, very effortful search of their memory to try to think of as many things as they can about this item before they make the decision," Tolin said. "What this all amounts to then is a painful and effortful process of decision making, that you and I might take for granted."
There is no cure for hoarding, and there is no medication to treat the condition. Right now, cognitive behavioral therapy is the only way to help hoarders make decisions and deal with their emotions.
In Beth Johnson's Clutter Workshop in Hartford, hoarders and clutterers practice throwing out possessions to which they have grown attached. Johnson also takes her clients on nonshopping -- or nonacquiring -- trips to teach them not to buy things they don't need.
"I try to help them see the larger picture and how this item won't fit into their life," Johnson said. "If you have a jam-packed house, if you're adding to it on a weekly or daily basis, you're basically defeating yourself."
Randy Frost, a professor of psychology at Smith College in Massachusetts, focuses on helping hoarders make their homes clutter-free.
"One of the things we know about hoarding is that the beliefs people have about their possessions are so powerful, that it's very difficult for them to get out of this behavior," said Frost, who also wrote the book "Buried in Treasures," co-written with Tolin. "If the person throws something away and experiences distress, and does it again and again, eventually, they won't have that extreme emotional response, throwing something away."
Frost held a one-on-one session with Brennan to see if he could help her. After a few hours, she was able to throw away receipts and a few pieces of junk but, as with most hoarders, there was still a long road ahead.
One major motivator for Brennan was the possibility of losing her fiancé if she didn't clean up her home. When asked if she thought he would really leave, Lorraine said, "I don't want to find out. I don't want to end my relationship. I want to do better. I want to make it work. I don't want to live like this anymore. I really don't."
Today, Alloca said the biggest change is that she can actually "see" the mess. "I can acknowledge and accept that I have this problem," she said, but she cites things such as stress, emotional upheavals, bad habits and avoidance of dealing with old memories as still hampering her progress.
Alloca said clutter workshops and support groups did help, although "there is no magic pill, no one way that works for everyone."

WVU tops Fairmont St. 89-70
MORGANTOWN -- Eron Harris scored 31 points and freshman Nathan Adrian added 21 to lead the West Virginia University men's basketball team to an 89-70 victory over Fairmont State in the WVU Coliseum on Monday.
It was West Virginia's lone preseason tuneup before Friday's 8 p.m. season opener against Mount St. Mary's. The WVU women's team plays Ohio State at 5:30 p.m. Friday.
West Virginia got almost all of its 89 points from five perimeter players -- 85 to be precise -- as the Mountaineers shot the ball pretty effectively from 3, knocking down 12 of 27 for 44.4 percent for the game.
"I think we're going to be able to shoot the ball," West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said.
Fairmont State started the game fouling and continued to foul throughout as officials are more closely watching defensive hand-checking as college basketball looks to make the game more free flowing this year. The Falcons had five players foul out and sent the Mountaineers to the free throw line 54 times, where they converted 37.
After leading by 12 at halftime, West Virginia never let its advantage slip below double digits and briefly led by 20, 89-69, with 22 seconds left.
Gary Browne contributed 18 points -- 12 of those coming from the line -- and Juwan Staten added 13.
Freshman Devin Williams led everyone with 14 rebounds.

Grant Traylor: Opening night in Charleston was a record-breaker
Spring Valley point guard Sarah Kelly had waited all season for what she was able to accomplish Wednesday night in the Charleston Civic Center.
Kelly got a coveted triple-double to lead Spring Valley to an 84-60 win over Capital in the Girls Basketball State Tournament.
After being close on several occasions this season, it was Kelly's first in her high school career.
"It feels good to have a good game and get that triple-double and actually finish shots," Kelly said. "I've had 14, 9 and 8 (points, rebounds, assists) four times this year, but I finally got it."
On this night, it was Kelly's defense that was the crucial as she set a Class AAA tournament record with 10 steals, meaning her triple-double was the first-ever involving steals in a Class AAA girls basketball game.
Kelly's performance followed another record-setting triple-double that was nearly more on Wednesday.
Huntington St. Joe's Mychal Johnson is no stranger to triple-doubles with several this season, but she was only one steal away from a quadruple-double.
Johnson finished with 17 points, 14 assists, 10 rebounds and nine steals to lead St. Joe to an 89-29 win in a Class A game.
The 14 assists eclipsed the previous record in a Class A tournament game, set by Montcalm's Stephanie Davis in 1987.
The Irish also tied the record for 3-pointers in a game with 10 as Griffin Dempsey hit five in the contest.
WHO'S BO?: Prior to entering the media room for their post-game press conference, Spring Valley players looked baffled outside after hearing Scott James, the tournament media coordinator, ask for Larry Miller and his players.
The players looked around and offered a collective "Who's Larry?"because they know their coach as Bo.
Brooke Heck shouted, "Bo, your name is Larry?"
It set off a roar of laughter that stayed with the players as they entered the post-game interviews.
Now, they know Bo. And Larry, too.
PAYNE IN THE POST: Valley (Fayette) center Alexis Payne showed an impressive amount of skills during the first half of her team's Class A loss to Wheeling Central.
Payne was injured in the third quarter when she went up for a block and flipped over Wheeling Central's Colleen McCormick after a shot fake. Payne stayed on the court for several minutes after landing awkwardly on her neck and back.
Prior to injury, Payne had 13 points, eight rebounds and five blocks to keep the Greyhounds within 24-22 at the break.
She finished the game with 14 points, 12 rebounds and five blocks.
QUITE A TURNAROUND: After struggling early in its game Wheeling Central turned things on in a big way in the second half.
The Maroon Knights outscored Valley (Fayette) 42-5 in the second half en route to a 66-27 win.
CLARK LEADS BLUE DEVILS: In the day's first game, St. Marys overcame a sluggish 9:30 a.m. start for a Class A game behind the solid play of post player Audra Clark in a 52-24 defeat of Tygarts Valley.
Clark finished with 28 points and 11 rebounds in a 52-24 win. The University of Rio Grande signee was 11-of-17 from the floor.

The Bachelor
The Bachelor's AshLee Frazier: 5 Things You Need to Know
Warning: spoilers below!
AshLee is a southern belle through and through, so there's no doubt Sean Lowe will love her. After all, they both have folksy accents! This cowgirl nabbed a spot in Sean's final four, so expect to see a lot of her on Bachelor 17. Get the lowdown on everything you need to know about Ash — other than the fact that she loves Homeland (much like the rest of us) and is obsessed with Kate Middleton (much like the rest of us)!
1. She's Older Than Sean
AshLee is a very young 32, which puts her at 4 years older than Sean — who's just 29. Let's not forget that Sean is emotionally mature for a twenty something superstud, so the age gap shouldn't be a problem. Phew!
2. She's a Personal Organizer
Remember when Sean showed his bedroom to Emily Maynard and it was full of stuffed animals, cookie crumbs and dirty underwear? AshLee probably cried so many sad tears over that. Turns out this gal works as an organizer for Love It! Organized, and will clean out your entire closet for just a small fee!
3. She's From the Lonestar State
AshLee is from the great state of Texas, so we fully expect her to spend her time on Bachelorette tickling Sean with her spurs, carrying around a loaded gun for protection, and saying "howdy, y'all" to Chris Harrison.
4 . She's Religious
AshLee's dad is a pastor in Texas, so we're pretty sure her religious interests are right in line with Sean's. Let's just hope Sean is ready to have a Man of God as his father-in-law — he better keep his hands off AshLee in the fantasy suites!
5. She Loves Adele
Like the rest of humanity, AshLee loves herself some Adele. We can only assume she spends her waking hours sobbing softly to "Someone Like You" while eating ice cream. Ashley even says she would love to have lunch with this British bombshell to "hear her story behind her music!"

The contract is usually signed when deposit for services are made. I also provide a contract for payment arrangements for bigger packages.
Often, people ask, where do we print the photos after recieving our disc? Any store location that offers print services. I recommend a print station that prints matte/lustre finish. Most of them are glossy, and well glossy brightens your photo, and does not allow for a professional polished finish. For best results i recommend Matte.

Tilia species
Lime tree © Bob Press
Generally tall trees, up to 45m.
Domed. Most species have upwardly angled or arching main branches. The smaller branches and twigs are hanging in some species.
Generally heart-shaped. They are always hairy on the underside but the hairs may be confined to the angles between the midrib and the main veins. Silver limes have leaves with dense silvery hairy on the underside.
Very distinctive. Each loosely hanging cluster has a long stalk attached for part of its length to a pale greenish, narrowly oblong bract (leaf-like structure).
5-petalled, white or yellowish and sweet-scented.
A hard, egg-shaped to globe-shaped nut, 6–12mm long. They may be hairy and have longitudinal ribs.
The flowers of limes attract numerous bees. The trees also attract aphids - the leaves, ground and any objects beneath the trees such as cars may become sticky with a sugar-rich substance called honeydew that the insects produce.

Gland (of a leaf) – a small organ on a leaf that gives out oils or similar substances.
Inflorescence – the arrangement of all the flowers on a tree. The shape is used to help identify the plant.
Key – a tool used to identify groups and species of living things.
Leaflet – a subdivision of a leaf - it may look like a leaf but is attached to the leaf stalk or midrib, not to the shoot.
Lobe – a rounded or pointed section of a leaf, not divided into a leaflet.
Margin – the edge of a leaf.
Midrib – the central vein of a leaf.
Native – a tree that occurs naturally in an area, as opposed to a non-native tree that has been introduced.
Opposite – the arrangement of leaves on a stem - the leaves attach in pairs at the same point, opposite each other, rather than attaching at alternate points.
Palmate – a leaf shape in which the lobes or leaflets radiate from a single point, like fingers from a hand.
Petals – usually larger and more brightly coloured than sepals.
Pinnate – a leaf shape in which the lobes or leaflets are arranged on both sides of the stalk or midrib like a feather.
Pollarded – when the upper branches of a tree have been cut back to encourage new growth.
Sepals – the outermost parts of a flower which cover and protect the flower when it is in bud. They are usually green.
Side shoots – short, spur-like shoots growing from the main shoots.
Spike – an elongated cluster of flowers; a type of inflorescence.
Stalk – the structure that supports the blade of a leaf.
Stigma – the part at the end of the style. It is covered with a sticky substance that pollen adheres to.
Stipule – a small, leaf-like structure, found where the leaf connects to the stem.
Style – a tube-like structure in the centre of a flower that supports the stigma.
Trunk – the woody stem of a tree, before the branches.
Urban forest – the trees in our towns and cities.

Reign FC managed a first-half lead on the road against the Western New York Flash, but the newly crowned queen of international scoring provided the equalizer and Seattle settled for a 1-1 draw at Sahlen's Stadium in Rochester, N.Y.
Midfielder Keelin Winters scored in the 28th minute to put Seattle ahead. In the 55th minute, the Flash (5-2-4) earned a penalty kick, and New York forward Abby Wambach, fresh off her four-goal performance with the U.S. national team that made her the international all-time leading goal scorer, converted the shot from the spot.
Megan Rapinoe made her National Women's Soccer League debut earlier than expected after returning from a loan to France's Lyon and played 90 minutes for Reign FC (0-9-2).

Nets GM Billy King: "P.J. Carlesimo is our coach"
Dec 30, 2012, 8:55 PM EDT
After the Brooklyn Nets fired Avery Johnson, we heard all the big names come up. Phil Jackson. Jeff Van Gundy. Jerry Sloan.
But according to Nets GM Billy King, he has "not contacted anybody" about the coaching position yet. While you would hope that King would be involved in the coaching search, considering he's the GM and all, it is interesting that the Nets don't appear to be in quite the same rush the Los Angeles Lakers were when they fired Mike Brown.
Here's what King had to say about the coaching search:
King told Ian O'Connor during an interview on ESPN New York 98.7 FM on Sunday morning that the team "supports" interim coach P.J. Carlesimo and will "re-evaluate" things moving forward, while deflecting questions about Jackson by repeatedly saying "P.J.'s our coach."
"We've put our support behind (P.J.) and then we'll look at things and evaluate it later," King said. "I know people have been throwing lists together and things like that, but we have not contacted anybody. … We've made the move and now we're going to let P.J. coach."
Via Mike Mazzeo | ESPN New York
It's hard to believe that the Nets haven't already reached out to Phil Jackson and had a conversation. He's arguably the greatest coach of all-time, and although Carlesimo may have paid his dues to earn another head coaching job, he's still not quite Phil Jackson.
Throwing the public support in Carlesimo's corner is the right thing to do in the meantime, however. We don't know if the Nets are actually willing to give Carlesimo a fair shake, but it only seems prudent for the organization to give off the impression that they are.
Make no mistake about it — if the Nets get the inkling that one of the coaches on their wishlist is interested, they won't hesitate to call. Carlesimo is their interim coach, and the Nets management and ownership support him in that capacity. But until you hear that first word removed from his official title, you better believe the Nets are searching for someone to occupy the chair Carlesimo is keeping warm.

"But until you hear that first word removed from his official title…"
Well, even when they do sign a longer term contract, we know that doesn't change anything, no matter how much dough is involved.
The head coach is expendable. This very fact should be instructive to folks who fancy themselves experts in the field of NBA-ology: If a player has a huge contract, they don't just fire him, ie. allow him to go elsewhere to seek employment while still having to pay him. But a coach? Meh.

PJ the job is yours until Phil takes over and fires ALL of us……………………..
or until D-Will thinks you should go………………….
oh boy!

PJ is in the same position as deputy commissioner, Bill Rawls, from The Wire. Rawls was essentially a "placeholder" for LT Daniels. PJ has to gain the respect of the players while Nets' management actively pursue Phil, Van Gundy, the ghost of Red Holtzman, et. al.

Nets gave Laurence Frank the opportunity to see what he can do so why not PJ. PJ always makes excellent points when they interview him going into the half. He's an underrated coach.

Phil Jackson is arguably the greatest coach of all time? Really? Yes he's good, but he had the added benefit of coaching two of the greatest players ever (definitely the greatest of their generation) in their prime to get all his rings. He's a very good coach, but lots of decent coaches could've won championships coaching those teams.

Colorado Crossing is at a crossroads.
The ambitious 153-acre mixed-use project on Colorado Springs' far north side was supposed to be developed with 1.6 million square feet of stores, restaurants and offices, 1,600 residences, a 14-screen movie theater complex and a water park. Construction began in 2007 and buildings began to rise on the site, southeast of InterQuest and Voyager parkways.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - In just a few years, Gov. Jerry Brown has helped turn California's budget deficits into surpluses, persuaded Californians to raise taxes and quieted the complaints of many political opponents. But as he prepares to deliver his latest State of the State address Wednesday, the Democratic governor will confront a number of new challenges.
With wildfire dangers growing and many communities running short of water, California's drought could drain some of the funding he had hoped to devote to paying down debts or setting aside in a rainy day fund.
Brown also is facing scrutiny for continuing to promote the $68 billion bullet train project and will be pushed by Democratic lawmakers who want to spend some of California's record tax revenue on their own projects.

hot peppers from the garden
in addition to
the garlic we harvested
, we got two jalapeño peppers. i don't know how hot they'll be, hopefully not too hot for us to enjoy. not entirely sure what to make yet with them, rest assured it will be delicious. not quite a bountiful harvest, but a source of pride nonetheless. we've been using garden herbs for months, including mint, parsley, basil, and such. if you have any more recipes that call for mint or parsley, please share them.
used one of the peppers in a dish the other night, it added some nice flavor. hopefully the plants will yield a few more peppers before winter strikes, we see about 4 of them growing in the vines. i expect we'll have them harvested before any frost sets in.

An 'Airbender' Blunder? M. Night Thrashed by Critics
Is 'The Last Airbender,' director M. Night Shyamalan's live-action version of the Nickelodeon cartoon 'Avatar: The Last Airbender,' the "worst movie epic ever"? Time magazine certainly thinks so and it isn't alone -- the film carries an especially rotten rating on movie review website Rotten Tomatoes, earning a paltry 9 percent fresh rating from the nation's top film critics.
This marks the latest misfire from the once lauded director of hits like 'The Sixth Sense,' 'Signs' and 'Unbreakable.'
Before its release, the film was seen as a comeback vehicle for Shyamalan, who after weak box office performances from his last two movies 'The Happening' and 'Lady in the Water,' which earned 18 and 24 percent ratings from Rotten Tomatoes, respectively, changed up his usual formula. The director is best known for supernatural thrillers set (and filmed) near his home in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
'Airbender,' according to its IMDB synopsis, was very different:
Despite the film's reliance on images associated with eastern and Buddhist culture, it was principally filmed in eastern Pennsylvania (like all Shyamalan movies), with some filming also done in Greenland and Vietnam. The pic is said to have cost north of $100 million to produce -- with some estimates running as high as $150 million -- and as much as $130 million to market.Air, Water, Earth, Fire. Four nations tied by destiny when the Fire Nation launches a brutal war against the others. A century has passed with no hope in sight to change the path of this destruction. Caught between combat and courage, Aang (Noah Ringer) discovers he is the lone Avatar with the power to manipulate all four elements. Aang teams with Katara (Nicola Peltz), a Waterbender, and her brother, Sokka (Jackson Rathbone), to restore balance to their war-torn world.
For Shyamalan, a writer-director desperate to prove he can do more than PG-13 spook films, the critical trashing must be particularly hard to swallow.
In its review, Time magazine calls the film "surely the worst botch of a fantasy epic" since a 1978 animated version of 'The Lord of the Rings' and says Shyamalan's dialogue "has the stilted sagacity of a fortune-cookie dictum." The mag also responds to the controversy over Indian and Caucasian actors being cast in parts intended for Asian actors, saying, "The actors who didn't get to be in 'The Last Airbender' are like the passengers who arrived too late to catch the final flight of the Hindenburg."
But it's Roger Ebert who perhaps best sums up the reaction to the film. In his review for the Chicago Sun-Time, the beloved film critic says, "'The Last Airbender' is an agonizing experience in every category I can think of and others still waiting to be invented. The laws of chance suggest that something should have gone right. Not here." Ouch.
'Airbender' hit theaters July 1 as counterprogramming to the blockbuster third film in the 'Twilight Saga,' 'Eclipse.' Its studio, Paramount, saw an opportunity to attract young male moviegoers unlikely to be interested in whether Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) picks Edward (Robert Pattinson) or Jacob (Taylor Lautner). Only time will tell if the reviews will hurt the film's box office, but precedent isn't on its side in the competitive summer season: The critically-slammed 'Jonah Hex,' a semi-supernatural western starring Josh Brolin and Megan Fox, earned a similarly weak 12 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and has so far grossed a disastrous $10 million since its June 18 release.
Shyamalan, a two time Oscar nominee for 'The Sixth Sense,' presently has no other films in development as a writer or director. Domestically, his seven films have grossed nearly $900 million, led by 'The Sixth Sense' and 'Signs.' The director became well known for his use of surprise twist endings after 'Sense' and 'The Village,' and has taken small roles in many of his films.

I have noticed that the critics really seem to dislike M. Night Shyamalan. This has been very apparent just after his first few films. I do not know what M. Night did but there must be something as I have not seen a director been so overly criticized even for movies that are pretty good it doesn't seem to matter, critics like to slam him regardless. Maybe they resent his quick rise to fame after Sixth Sense, or don't like him because he sometimes has roles in his movies, or maybe they don't like him because they see him as an outsider, not one of the good ole Hollywood boys. Who knows, but there seems to be animosity towards him from the critics for whatever reason.
- Sunday 04 JulyBy Robb
They don't like him because his movies are terrible. There is no need to search for deeper meaning than that...his movies have gotten progressively more pretentious and dull and unbelievable since The Sixth Sense -- the critics are just reacting to the giant bore-fests that he keeps throwing up onto the screens, each more indulgent and wooden than the last.

All I can ask of all of you is just relax and think back to being a kid and how fantasy really captured your imagination and enjoy.
These critics think to much and put that stuffy prejudice attitude into there shared critiques.It's all about having fun and letting your imagination flow.It is a fun and exciting and entertaining if you just pull the stuffy blinders off.

Getting a little sick of all these critics - It's a KIDS movie - how can it possibly appeal to an adult as much as it will to kids, and I know 2 who are dying to see it! Why don't we get kids to watch the kids movies and tell us what they think instead of the adults?

Honestly, as an avid airbender watcher (i even purchased the first season in the collectors edition), I thought the movie was pretty damn good. In truth the cartoon is mainly east asian facial characteristics but what was great about what m. night did was that he incorporated other races. It makes the movie more believable that it's mirroring an actual world. One thing that bothered me about Ebert's review was that he claimed the movie was set in the future when in reality it's not, so that kind of tarnishes his opinion since he clearly didn't do much research on the film.
yes, it's true that the 3D effects sucked, i would like it was disappointing, but the scenery was beautiful and the lag between the action and the actual bending made me feel like the people had to reach within themselves to gain the power to do the actual bending, which seems more realistic. Furthermore, zuko's role is not one of a villain, those who have seen the show know what i'm talking about. The acting wasn't as bad as critics say either, they're kids and most kid's don't speak eloquently.
I really hope he continues doing the movies, just next time film with a 3D camera and leave the conversion at home.

The animated series this movie is based on is pure, derivative, garbage to begin with. All it did was "borrow" themes from every conceivable Japanese anime series imaginable, then water them down to make them palatable for American kids.

I saw the movie with my children. The reviews this movie has received are from people who obviously never watched the cartoon and have no idea of the characters or the story. It is a great story of epic proportions. It is hard for someone who never watched the cartoon to understand and appreciate this movie. These kind of reviews are malicious and an insult to thousands of fans of Avatar. One critic has written that this is a fantasy without any touch to reality. How many movies do they make in Hollywood with any touch to reality, fantasy or not ? The race of the characters do not matter since the 4 nations represent the whole world. The director has done his best to introduce the characters and story in the short frame of a movie. The critics are obviously irritated by seeing too many Indians in this one ( though they are all bad guys). The appropriate question should be whether the actor was chosen on his acting abilities. The most important character is Zuko and I have to admit that Dev Patel is too weak for this role.
Generally, this movie does not deserve these kind of reviews and it is not fair to the public.

Editorial: Laws limiting concealed carry only limit those who obey
A state debate on the rights of permitted Tennesseans to carry guns in city and municipal parks turned up a notch Thursday.
The Tennessee Senate overwhelmingly approved a bill to repeal local control of gun possession in local parks by a 26-7 vote.
The lone Republican to vote against the bill was locally elected Senator Doug Overbey (R-Maryville).
"I support Second Amendment rights, but I think we can also draw a distinction here," Overbey told the Knoxville News-Sentinel last month. "(And not be) telling local governments what to do."
As it currently stands in Tennessee, local governments may prohibit licensed permit holders from carrying their guns in a "public park, natural area, historic park, nature trail, campground, forest, greenway, waterway or other similar public place."
The current status came by way of an exception to a law in 2009 which allowed the permitted carry of guns in parks and public places across the state. Cities were allowed to exempt themselves at that time.
Many cities, like Gov. Bill Haslam's own Knoxville, opted out.
Sevierville did not exempt itself from the law.
Many Second Amendment supporters have seen the exemption as a direct contradiction to the Bill of Rights — specifically giving governments permission to deny citizens the right to bear arms.
Some, such as 7th District Senator Stacey Campfield — who sponsored the Senate bill — argue that it's often places like city parks where citizens need the most protection.
After all, several assaults and rapes occurred in East Tennessee parks and green spaces over the past 12 months.
Campfield has also argued that the current law violates a provision of the state constitution that states "the Legislature shall have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms with a view to prevent crime."
He says the General Assembly delegating that power to local jurisdictions would be unconstitutional.
For the repeal to happen, a House bill must still be approved.
On first glance, someone might think it's only logical to keep guns out of parks. But by banning firearms in these public places we're only limiting the freedom of those who obey laws. Criminals — that is to say, those who'd be using guns illegally in the park — won't obey regardless. Why force trained, law-abiding citizens to be unprotected?

Voice of the people
Poll topic is a loaded question
I have to say, The Herald-Dispatch's poll question, "With drug addictions, particularly heroin, many addicts are shoplifting and snatching purses to get their next fix. Do you think alternative sentencing is adequate to deter theft?," is a very loaded and leading question and ignores the point of alternative sentencing.
One might also ask: Does prison cure drug addiction or get to the root cause of an addict's problems, or does it just ensure that when the offender leaves prison that he or she will be unable to find employment and be further entrenched in the criminal system, more likely to return to the addiction and whatever it is they need to do to support it?

Cities could profit from lawbreakers
If state troopers can issue 38 citations in four hours on I-64, just think how many citations could be issued on U.S. 60, especially to the speeders who have no respect for the law that set the speed limits.
The city of Huntington and Barboursville would profit from many lawbreakers.

Food poisoning is serious business
Food poisoning is a term which groups together a number of different illnesses caused by eating food contaminated with bacteria, toxins or chemicals.
It nearly always causes abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea which, in some circumstances, can be extremely serious.
I know people that had recent bouts with contamination with bacteria in what we ate. I was one of those. Thanks to Cabell Huntington Hospital, I was able to go home having learned a lesson in food poisoning treatment.
The time interval between eating the food and the start of symptoms is an excellent clue as to the cause of illness.
The dangers are severe diarrhea that can cause dehydration, which in some cases may lead to death.
The treatments that were recommended, bed rest, plenty of fluids, light meals, if possible place a portable commode near the patient's bed, most of all watch very close what you eat and make sure you wash and cook food as per instructions.
Everyday foods are often not what they seem. Coloring can be added to cakes, frozen and canned vegetables and packed orange juice. Some oranges even have their skins dyed. Brown sugar can be colored white sugar.

Detailed photos added depth
As I looked at the photographs accompanying the recent article about the clearing of homeless encampments along the Ohio River, I was struck by the presence of an opened Bible shown in a close-up photograph.
This photograph caused me to look closer at the encampment photos where the Bible is seen on the encampment bench prior to removal and in the clear plastic along with the other encampment dwellers' belongings being removed.
I would have missed this detail entirely had it not been for the photojournalist's ability to add depth, giving me pause to consider the story within the story.

ENGELHARDT COLUMN: Andre Thomas pulls double duty at Bosse, but not single-handedly
People told Andre Thomas he was crazy.
But thanks to quality assistants and an understanding wife, he has been able to successfully juggle coaching Bosse High School's football and girls' basketball teams.
Thomas, a Harrison High School graduate who served as an assistant football and basketball coach at West Orange High School in Winter Garden, Fla., the past four years, returned to Evansville to become the Bulldogs' football coach.
Bosse hoped to find a suitable replacement within the building for Angie Oliver, who stepped down as girls' basketball coach in April after leading Bosse to a 247-169 record over 20 years, Thomas basically said if they couldn't find anybody else, he would accept double-duty.
"They went through the process and couldn't agree, so here I am," he said, relaxing in his office after practice on Monday. "It takes time management, organization and great assistant coaches. It's the same thing (as being an assistant coach in two different sports). It's just more responsibility."
Assistants Garland Copeland and Eugene Kendrick, who also coached under Oliver, led the girls' conditioning program, beginning in September, while Thomas was still coaching football.
"I couldn't do it without them," said Thomas, whose new assistant is Jenna Ollie. "They already had background information (on other teams)."
After the Bulldogs' football team lost in the first round of the Class 3A sec
tional on Friday, Oct. 21 to finish 3-7, girls' basketball tryouts began the following Monday.
In this era of seemingly round-the-clock sports, football's offseason weightlifting program began on Monday. Perhaps Thomas will take some time off this spring to recharge his batteries.
At West Orange High, he and other coaches had young children, so special allowances had to be made for walkers and playpens, out of harm's way.
"I would say we're 'Team Thomas,'" said Andre. He and his wife Jessica have a young girl, Anabella, 4, and young boy, Adyson, 2.
Thomas, who had previous experience coaching girls with a flag football program in Florida, credited Oliver for laying the foundation for a solid program. This year's team is 2-4 entering Saturday night's game at Vincennes Lincoln. Janisha Lindsey, a 5-foot-3 sophomore, leads the Bulldogs in scoring (16 points), assists (5) and steals (5).
After playing one year of college football at the University of Toledo, Thomas played two years of junior college basketball at John A. Logan, then his final season under current University of Evansville coach Marty Simmons at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville.
"In one year under coach Simmons, I learned a lot about preparation and focus," Thomas said.
He also learned there's no such thing as democracy in athletics. Under Mitch Marsch and Will Wyman in high school, Mark Imhoff in junior college and Simmons at SIUE, it was a dictatorship.
"It was his way or the highway," Thomas said.
He wouldn't have it any other way at Bosse.

Africa is home to more than 30 species of wild fruit trees belonging to the genus Uapaca. Several produce fine flavored and attractive looking fruits that are in high demand in various parts of the continent. They are an African heritage that adds zest to traditional foods from porridges to desserts. But so far none has been accorded much—or even any—horticultural recognition.
This should change. These are promising resources for widespread cultivation. They are highly respected; farmers clearing land normally leave the wild groves standing. The public likes the fruits so much that in several countries an organized trade occurs, much as if the harvest came from orchards rather than wild stands. And in nature the trees seem fully at home on adverse sites where food production is generally poor. Indeed, because of that feature they have traditionally helped people survive famine.
Fully ripe, these typically plum-sized fruits are yellow-brown in color, juicy and honeylike in taste. They enclose several white seeds, each with a characteristic ridge along its back. Most are eaten fresh, but some are pounded with water and served as a refreshing drink. If left to ferment, this sugary liquid develops into a pleasant fruit wine. In addition, tasty snacks are made from the pulp by adding water, flour, and sometimes egg, flattening the doughy mixture into round cakes, and frying them.
Although little is known about these fruits' nutritional value, it is thought to be outstanding. The level of vitamin C can be especially high. In part, this is what makes sugarplums important foods in time of famine.
When left on the tree, fruits tend to ripen unevenly. Thus, although they can be picked up effortlessly from the ground, most are picked green and stored several days in the dark. They may be put into plastic bags or other containers. Commonly, they are placed in a shallow hole in the ground and covered with leaves from the tree. Other times they are placed in the village grain bins. In each case, they are exposed to ethylene, the fruit-ripening hormone, and they ripen evenly. Once ripe, they exhibit a good shelf life.
These valuable trees could be useful components of several cultivation systems, including backyard gardens or orchard-like plantings, as well as in agroforestry operations. They are ideal tools for projects proposing to protect soil and/or conserve habitats and native biodiversity. They are promising for

Redesign project moves to next stage as teams are chosen to submit proposals.
A major competition to re-imagine the grounds of the Museum was announced two months ago, in conjunction with Malcolm Reading Consultants.
Five teams have now been chosen from the entrants and invited to submit their proposals. The teams are:
Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) with Martha Schwartz Partners (landscape)
Grant Associates with Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios (architect)
Niall McLaughlin Architects with Kim Wilkie (landscape)
Land Use Consultants (LUC) with Design Engine (architect)
Stanton Williams Architects with Bradley-Hole Schoenaich Landscape Architects (landscape)
The redesign of the Museum's grounds must be able to accommodate the needs of more than 5 million visitors who pass through every year.
The project will aim to create an innovative exterior setting that matches the architectural excellence of the iconic nineteenth-century site, while ensuring that the Museum grounds remain easily accessible to visitors.
Director of the Museum Dr Michael Dixon said, 'We are delighted with the architectural community's response to the project and are eager to see the design proposals that aim to enhance the world-class setting of the Museum. We look forward to working with the winning team.'
Architect and competition organiser Malcolm Reading said the brief for the design stage was challenging, but he was confident that the chosen teams had the breadth of expertise to deliver an integrated response.
'The Museum is one of the world's great institutions,' he said. 'We now have a shortlist of designers of world-class status and capability.'
For full details of the competition, visit the Malcolm Reading website. The winning team will be announced in February 2014, following a public exhibition of the entries.
