While we're getting our flower seeds started for the season I thought I'd share what we are considering here at Bloom Master.
Petunias are loved in lawns, gardens, and hanging baskets; they're probably the favorite in Bloom Master baskets and planters as well. With this general petunia popularity has come the constant development of new varieties, series, and best practices on how to grow and maintain these floriculture all-stars. This post will hopefully help you get the most out of your petunias.
Petunias classes:
Grandiflora – Most popular, largest flower
Multiflora – Smallest blooms, high disease tolerance
Florabunda – Combination of grandifloras and multifloras (e.g. Madness series)
Milliflora – True miniature plant
Trailing – Trailing stems (versus mounding) (e.g. Wave series)
*Double varieties (double layered petals) are available in all classes.
Starting from seed:
|Germination Temperature
|Growing Temperature
|Days to Germinate
|Crop time (weeks)
|6 – 10
|15 – 18
|Full Sun
Humidity for germination should be near 100%, soil moist but not saturated. Seedlings should get 2,500 foot candles of light to avoid stretching; 5,000 foot candles as they mature. However, be aware that too much light and too high of temperature may cause flowering too early. Weekly applications of nitrogen and potassium may be used. As you grow them on notice that petunias like cooler temps but they are not frost tolerant so keep them in until Mother's Day.
Some Popular Series:
Avalanche – not particularly fussy trailing series
Supercascade (and Double) – 4″ flowers cascading habit
Celebrity – 3″ compact blooms long blooming season
Daddy – 4″ ruffled, veined, early blooms
Dreams – tight branching, excellent weather tolerance
Hulahoop – "picotee" edging (exterior color band)
Madness (and Double Madness) – Staple for landscaping
Picobella – dwarf, controlled mounding habit
Prism – massive blooms, award winning "Sunshine" color
Wave (Cool, Easy, Tidal, Double, Shock Wave) – so popular they made a whole "Wave Family." They are known for their spreading quality
Starting from Cuttings:
Besides seeds you can grow Petunias from vegetative cuttings. A couple favorite suppliers for a lot of our customers are Suntory and Proven Winners. The favorites from PW are their branded "Supertunias." At Suntory you'll find their branded "Surfinias." Both are known for their vigor and I haven't heard any bad feedback about either of them. You might want to try Suntory's new Surfinia double petunia or their standard trailing varieties. The favorite colors among the Supertunias are Bubblegum, hot petunia pink as you can imagine, and Bourdeaux, a high fashion plum vein.
So hopefully that helps as you start planning and planting for your spring flower displays. Email or call if you have any questions or post comments and questions on our facebook site – someone may have a good idea.
Happy planting!

We hear the Bloom Master get called a "Modern Strawberry Pot" pretty frequently. While it's more than that they are definitely right—Bloom Masters are dang good strawberry pots! Visiting a lot of homes and nurseries I've seen some amazing success and some that are not quite there. So I thought I pass on some tricks of the trade as given by one of the professionals that seems to be getting it right.
I visited with Bart Flint of Flint Nurseries in West Point, Utah. He sells thousands of strawberry baskets to Fred Meyer, Associated Foods, and other grocery market places in his region. And it's no wonder because they look terrific. Here's how you can copy his success.
Mindful of cost, Bart starts from seed—Berry Basket ever-bearing variety, because they taste the best and grow well in a container. It's best to sow your seeds in a 288 seed plug tray, or bigger cell, starting in November the last possible day of planting on December 1st if you want them in time for Mother's Day. The seeds get a regular dose of 17-5-17 fertilizer until February, when they are ready to transplant.
In 2 – 3 months the strawberries will have good root development and will be ready to transplant. In his greenhouse Bart has a lot of plants growing not just strawberries so he has to keep things simple and conditions favorable for all his plants. He keeps the same fertilizer as he did on the seeds and the greenhouse temperature at 65 at night and 76 during the day. Watering needs after transplant fluctuates. You'll want to let the pot get relatively dry before you water again (not constantly soggy). So that means right after transplant you may only water once a week, then three times a week, then during May it could be once a day. You kind of have to eyeball that one. But water thoroughly, until water drips out the bottom. By May the containers will be full with runners, flowers, and even berries spilling out of the Bloom Master.
With the greenhouse work done the next issue is delivery to the customer. Bart has his own trucks for the shipping process and it seems to work well. The retail stores have nearly 100% sell through so it's a win-win for everyone. The strawberry baskets are a popular item; they're great for condos or anyone that doesn't have a yard they can dig up, and of course Mother's Day. Bart chooses Bloom Master pots, first because they have holes in the side that are perfect for strawberries, but also because plastic pots use half as much water as the fiber ones.
And that's about it for the strawberries—it is that simple. Bart says you could do the same thing with tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers but he is busy enough with just the berries.Greetings!
There always seem to be a moment when I know winter is over. That moment came last week as I passed by the orchard near my house. The farmers were out with their ladders and loppers; the apple trees were getting their late winter pruning. I had no idea we had already made it through winter. On to spring and spring planting! And we here at Bloom Master are ready for it.
And that's how I want to start our first newsletter; introduce you to our blog and website. This is a call to all Bloom Master aficionados. We are making this website our little community where we can share questions and ideas and awesome pictures. We consistently hear great ideas from you all and want to share them with others. We get tough questions and hope some of you can help. We have started our photo gallery and have some pictures up but we want to highlight your work. We want to post your pictures. Please share! Actually we could create plantagrams named after you, your city, or your store. That is, if we all love it. And that depends on you-the community-and your comments.
So for the first post of the spring 2012 season and the first post of this new website we say to you what your flower baskets are saying to your friends and neighbors: Welcome! And come back often. Come to the website for new ideas, new products, and new arrangements. Come back to ask questions and come back to share answers. We'll have voting and competitions, free stuff and crazy discounts. So stop in to see what's new and let us know how things are growing.

Our office orders from them all the time and we have never been disappointed. From individual orders to catering for 30 they have always delivered excellent food for a very reasonable price. They are always willing to adjust seasonings or add/subtract ingredients. The service is outstanding!

I've tried a handful of arlington area delivery chinese places and this one is hands down the best. The food quality is always excellent and if you're a fan of spicy foods they will not disappoint. If you ask for something extra spicy it'll make you cry (good thing).
Posted by anonymous on 03/30/2009
Great value.. was wondering.. has anyone tried their fish? i'm scared to order any of them until i see a review of it..
Posted by ballston209 on 01/27/2009
I have been coming here for five years and they consistently deliver good chinese at a reasonable price. If you want gourment chinese then, you should be eating at mei wai in dc, but this is a family run take out style place which provides a very good deal for lunches and dinners.. Try their hunan chicken.. very good.
Posted by Hank on 12/09/2008
I thoroughly enjoy the Lo Mein there and the General Tso's chicken. I've also eaten on the patio they have there and enjoyed the view of the block very much. It is also in the heart of Ballston and Virginia Square so it is very convenient for anyone in those neighborhoods.

Called "Shady Wok" by some locals, don't be fooled. This place has excellent food, large servings and a great price. The General Tso's is my favorite, like it with a little cook. The soup never disappoints. This place is one of the few food gems that I will miss when I leave Arlington. Carry on Shady Wok.
Posted by Sean and Deena on 09/26/2007
My experience at the wok was pretty darn awesome. I order the steamed vegetables with the kung pao pork. My tongue was tantalized with the beutifull and delicate flavors that chef sichuan puts into his creation. Keep up the good work guys!!

Slow day
By DragonBloodthirsty 1 Comments
Not a lot happened today. I did a vanquish in Guild Wars and played some DDO. Saw some stuff about FFXIV, which wasn't flattering, but since it seems like they're in open-beta mode I might as well check it out (if it's not open, I won't be checking it out).
I've also been playing Recettear, which has been fun. I can't really point to anything new or interesting that it's doing that I haven't seen before; it's not like I've never been a merchant in an RPG. The dungeons, although fun, don't seem all that out-of-the-ordinary except that they're random (which isn't even a new feature in gaming). But the game is fun, and I can't help myself. I've been pleased.
I also thought I'd share a video one of my friends showed me today, if I can figure out how to do it. It was a review/comparison between FFXIV and GW2, and their showing at PAX. I could summarize more, but the video speaks for itself better.

Lake residents opposed to boardwalk, dredging
by MICHELLE TANGUAYResidents who live on Cusick Lake spoke in opposition of plans to install a boardwalk and deck on wetlands on the lake and dredge a portion of it during a March 15 public hearing conducted by officials from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). The hearing was held at the Washington Township Municipal Building.
Observer News Editor
The Private Group of Shelby Township has applied for a permit to install a boardwalk and a deck in wetlands on the lake, which is located on 32 Mile Road, west of Mound, in Washington Township. The boardwalk and deck are part of a proposed residential development called Arcadia Estates that will include seven lots. The development is proposed to be located on the southwest side of the lake.
A total of 645 feet of six-foot wide boardwalk will be constructed in wetlands near the lake's shoreline. The boardwalk will serve as shared access to the floating docks by the development's four waterfront lots.
A 15-foot x 20-foot deck is proposed to be built adjacent to the boardwalk. Approximately 1,485 cubic yards of material will be dredged from approximately .38 acres of lake bottom/wetland to construct a channel for boating access to the lake, according to the application.
Several lake residents expressed concern that the proposed dredging will adversely affect the lake and its ecosystem. Residents told the DEQ officials that the lake is home to fish, frogs, turtles and more.
"It will be irreversible," said resident Ben Pollock of the dredging's effect.
He questioned who monitors the dredging.
Lake resident Mike Rowley told the DEQ officials that Cusick Lake is a glacial lake that is spring-fed and not large.
Another lake resident, David Cooper, expressed concern that residents of the proposed Arcadia Estates would introduce large, power boats to the lake. Current residents primarily have pontoon or fishing boats.
"The lake just can't take four more good-sized boats," Cooper said.
Washington Township Planning Commission Helen Sergott told DEQ officials that the commission had approved Arcadia Estates' preliminary site condominium plan. That plan, approved in May 2006, included three lakefront lots, according to Sergott, not four as proposed in the application to the DEQ. She said the commission was also concerned that nothing be constructed in the wetlands.
"I am extremely disappointed in the developer," she said.
David Dortman of the DEQ said public comments on the proposed application would continue to be accepted in writing through March 25. He said all public comments would be incorporated into the department's review of the application.
A decision on the application must be made by May 17, Dortman said. The DEQ can issue the permit, issue the permit with provisions or deny the permit, Dortman said.
He noted that the permit decision must be made based on specific criteria, not on the support or opposition for the proposed development.
The application is available for review at the DEQ Website, www.deq.state.mi.us/CIWPIS or in person at the Land and Water Management Division, DEQ, 27700 Donald Ct., Warren, MI 48092-2793. Call (586) 753-3862.

I'm working on a mon game (Pokemon, Digimon, Monster Rancher, etc) and i'm having a hard time figuring out how i want to handle the stored, monsters should i put them in some kind of array or list not to mention what i also have to do with their stats. can anyone suggest how to proceed?

It sounds like you need a class to describe monsters(possibly one for each monster, inherited from a base class) and then hold instances of that class (or those classes) in a List.
If you mark your class as Serializable then you will be able to edit the properties of the monsters in the Unity inspector.

It's a pale, sea foam green (or aqua green, if you prefer) with very fine white micro-shimmer. Butter London Fiver is the closest shade I have to this, but Fiver is a cream finish (no shimmer) and a touch lighter. MAC In the Limelight is bluer, darker, and a cream.

So let me ask you something:
Why is it that women who have no boobs or small boobs can just walk into any retailer that even has a half-ass lingerie department and scoop up an armload of sports bras, many of which are probably $20 or less and do their jobs very well, but those of us who actually need them can barely find any that fit and support worth a shit for less than $50 and usually have to search high and low to find the damn things in the first place?
[cut for ranting about boobs, feel free to skip]
I am talking to you in particular, Lane Bryant, you with your two items in your "sports bra" category, one of which is only available in a 40H and the other of which is, uh, not a fucking sports bra, but also to–well, pretty much the whole bra industry.
Oh sure, I've got a few that fit. I have several that I wear as tops over other bras when I work out at home, but they support about as well as a slightly snug T-shirt. I got really lucky and found one that fit and supported for $5 on the clearance rack at Academy one day, but I've lost about 40 pounds since I got it and now it doesn't fit so well anymore.
Usually, what I end up doing to control the girls is–well, I double-bag 'em. Slightly-too-small regular bra with a cheapo Hanes sports bra on top of it. And that works for DDR, it works for light to moderate aerobics and whathaveyou, but you know what it doesn't work worth shit for?
I would really like to be able to run. I dream about it all the time. The best I can manage is a slow, shuffling jog; anything faster than that, anything resembling an actual run makes the girls dance in ways Nature did not intend, ways that are uncomfortable at best. The combination of shuffle-jogging like an idiot and the whole Sarah And Her Two Dancing Girls thing also makes me not want to run where any other human beings might see me. You can probably imagine the shit one hears. I got made fun of enough in high school and the military. I don't want to hear it anymore.
And if you're thinking about suggesting I just get over it and learn to not care who's watching, please go find two standard-size round balloons, fill them with water until they're about 6″ across, stuff them into your shirt, and go for a jog.
Oh, and have fun trying to find a bra to stuff them in. Which brings me back to my original problem.
If you're, say, a 36C, here's how you go about buying a sports bra:
1. Go to store with bras
2. Take bra off shelf
3. Try bra on
4. Buy bra
5. Go home.
If you're a 38DDD (read: me), here's how you go about buying a sports bra:
1. Wait for the paycheck when no bills are due
2. Go to one of three stores in area that might have sports bra in my size
3. Fail to find a single one in stock and go to the next store
4. Find one that kind of fits but does not support
5. Find one that would support if it fucking fit
6. Give up, try the Intarwebs
7. Find sports bra that theoretically fits and supports
8. Buy bra
9. Wait 3-14 days for bra to arrive
10. Try bra on
11. If bra is not satisfactory, jump through whatever hoops retailer requires for a return or exchange
12. Repeat ad nauseam until satisfactory bra is obtained or you're tired of fucking with it and decide to make do with whatever mediocre bra you ended up with rather than deal with one more customer service department
It is just fucking ridiculous, is what it is.
I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would want DD+ boobs. If you are even thinking about implants, let me just tell you right now: DON'T DO IT. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T DO IT.
I hate to be the one to break this to you, ladies, but huge boobs are not fun. They make it impossible or at least very difficult for you to find bathing suits, workout clothes, sports bras, and a number of other things that fit. They make it impossible or at least very uncomfortable for you to engage in a number of athletic activities. And if you have ever even considered having implants of that size, you are fucking stupid.
tl;dr: I JUST WANT TO GO BUY A GODDAMN SPORTS BRA THAT WORKS OFF A RACK AND NOT HAVE TO PAY $50+ FOR IT, IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK
(Actually, what I'd love to do is have a reduction and solve this whole problem. Except I don't have $30K lying around, and I doubt the VA would cover it because I'm not having back problems, and to be honest I would really rather not have something like this done by the goddamn VA anyway, and the last time I talked to a doctor about it I was 15-16 years old, 5′ 4″, and 130 pounds and was told that if I just lost some weight, they would shrink.
Which is bullshit. Losing weight does not make the boobs any smaller. It doesn't work that way. At least it doesn't in my family. I was a 40DDD at 190 pounds, I'm a 36DDD at 165 pounds right now, and I was a 34DDD at 130 pounds. Maybe losing 200-300 pounds would make a difference in cup size, I don't know, but the amount we're talking about makes no fucking difference at all. All losing weight does is make it even harder to find a sports bra that fits–or really, any bra that fits, I don't think I've ever seen anything smaller than a 38 in a DDD-cup at Lane Bryant.)

I have several friends that have the exact. same. problem.
I'll ping them next time I see them and ask where they get their stuff at.
John C. Welch - May 18, 2009 at 9:39 pm
Having dated women with varying degrees of your issue, yeah…there's no good answer at all, which is you know, kind of surprising, because I think if someone did come up with a decent sports bra for the EL GRANDE BOOBED, they could probably make a tidy bit of change, esp. if they were able to not charge $50 per bra.
olukemi - May 18, 2009 at 11:58 pm
I feel your pain, really I do. With a 50E chest, I can't even go to Lane Bryant for bras any more. And it's not even worth it with their prices. I have found a couple of places that are better, but, they're online. BUT, I have yet to be disappointed. HerRoom.com and Alwaysforme.com. I put a great deal of stock in the customer reviews and they've been pretty spot on. I hope your search pans out. Fight the good fight.
Serenity - May 20, 2009 at 5:38 am
I have a pretty good idea how you feel. I'm a 38DD, and it sucks. It is impossible to find a sports bra that works on my budget (which is tiny because I'm a full time college student). Which is not only an issue for exercise, but also because my boyfriend wants me to go running with him sometime, and despite the fact that he is fairly intelligent, the idea that running without a sports bra is asking for trouble (and pain) is something that he seems to have trouble grasping.
Hmmm… maybe I'll try your water balloon boob idea… *evil grin*
Jess - May 22, 2009 at 1:37 am
Have you tried Junonia? I have their Goddess sports bra and it works great for keeping my 48C boobs from hitting me in the face when I run. It does cost $50, but it's worth it.
Sorry, the comment form is now closed.

If you are not familiar with Colorescience Mineral Cosmetics, it is a product line that is offered online. The core focus of this brand is skin-friendly cosmetics and formulations. These products are claimed to contain the "highest quality ingredients," and are suitable for women of all skin types. You will find that Colorescience products contain antioxidants, natural plant extracts, and enzymes to benefit the skin. However, these products are not supposed to irritate the dermis or clog the pores. The product we will look at more closely is Colorescience Sunforgettable Rock & Roller Ball SPF 30. It is available through online stores like SkinCareRX for around $50.
Product Details
Colorescience Sunforgettable Rock & Roller Ball SPF 30 is an everyday formula that endeavors to give the complexion a glowing look, while protecting the dermis from damaging UVA and UVB rays. It should be applied generously to the face, before you head outdoors. According to the website, this product adds a touch of shine and shimmer to the skin, while leaving behind a clear finish. Colorescience Sunforgettable Rock & Roller Ball SPF 30 comes in a powder form.
The key ingredients used in this product are sunblocks. These are revealed as Zinc Oxide 12% and Titanium Dioxide 12%. Put simply, these two ingredients provide a protective barrier on the skin, which blocks damaging UV rays. This in turn prevents new signs of aging and sun damage. Mica is also found in Colorescience Sunforgettable Rock & Roller Ball SPF 30, and leaves a shimmer on the skin to improve radiance. No actual anti-wrinkle ingredients are used in this formula.
The Good
- This product is supposed to be suitable for all skin types, which is convenient.
- An applicator ball is provided on the container of this formula.
- This skin care product offers a sun protection factor of 30.
The Bad
- This product does not contain key ingredients to reduce existing wrinkles.
- There are many alternative, daily sunscreens that sell for less than $50.
- No active ingredients are found in this formula to reduce age spots.
- You only receive one ounce of Colorescience Sunforgettable Rock & Roller Ball SPF 30 in a single bottle.
The Bottom Line
Clearly it is beneficial that Colorescience Sunforgettable Rock & Roller Ball SPF 30 provides a sun protection factor of 30 to block out damaging UV rays. This can certainly aid in the prevention of sun damage and new signs of aging, such as wrinkles and age spots. Then again, this face formula does not contain any major ingredients to help reduce existing wrinkles, age spots, fine lines, or hyper pigmentation. It is basically just a powder sunscreen that costs $50.

"Sign up for Gmail"
Wednesday, August 24, 2005
It's pretty exciting to see those words on the Gmail homepage. For the last 16 months, a lot of people have been asking us how they can sign up for Gmail, and today we're happy to be able to say, "Just go to gmail.com." From there, you can get an invitation code sent to your mobile phone, and with this code, you can create a Gmail account. Once you have Gmail, you can try out our brand new IM and voice service, Google Talk.
Why use mobile phones? It's a way to help us verify that an account is being created by a real person, and that one person isn't creating thousands of accounts. We want to keep our system as spam-free as possible, and making sure accounts are used by real people is one way to do that.
We're also working on some new mobile features that will make your Google account more useful and secure, such as SMS alerts and password recovery. When you sign up using your mobile phone, you can choose to save your number with your account so you can use these features as soon as they become available.
Right now, sign-ups only work with U.S. mobile phone numbers, but we're eager to support others. With Gmail now available in 29 languages (and counting), we're already working hard to bring you "注册 Gmail 邮箱," "Зарегистрироваться в системе Gmail," "Abra sua conta no Gmail" and many more.

In an interesting interview with Steve Moore, Minority Whip Eric Cantor explains the new face of the Republican Party — reform-minded, fiscally disciplined, and energetic. He also has this interesting observation on the pro-Israel coalition:
Mr. Cantor believes the American-Jewish community is overwhelmingly Democratic because Jews "are prone to want to help the underdog." But he thinks the Jewish allegiance to the Democratic Party is changing, in large part because of Israel. "I tell the Jewish groups that more and more of the problems with convincing folks that Israel's security is synonymous with our own comes from the Democrats. There are a lot in the progressive movement in this country who do not feel that the U.S. should ever be leaning towards Israel. They are openly hostile" toward the Jewish state.
Mr. Cantor points to a poll indicating that 46% of American Jews say they would consider voting for another individual for president. "That is astonishing given the history. Reagan got 40%—that was probably the high water mark."
There are multiple reasons for Jewish allegiance to the Democratic Party, and I tend to favor an explanation other than Cantor's. But his analysis of the Democratic caucus is candid and accurate. However, there is an opportunity for the Democratic Party, or a significant segment of it, to right itself and re-establish its full-throated support for Israel.
Certainly there are hard-core leftists who played footsie with Soros Street, signed on to the Gaza 54 letter, and cheered Obama's Israel policy. But far more members of the Democratic caucus in the Senate and House were pulled by partisan concerns and felt obliged to run interference for Obama. For months and months they dared not criticize the administration. When Obama "condemned" Israel, many reacted with platitudes rather than a sharp rebuke of the president. When it came to the flotilla, the Senate letter (and the House letter to a lesser extent) revealed Democrats' reluctance to challenge the president on his straddling at the UN.
But the landscape is about to shift dramatically. Obama's approval ratings are tumbling. Those Democrats who survive the 2010 tsunami will owe little loyalty to the Obama team. And the putrid results of Obama's flawed Middle East policy are now there for all to see. In other words, there is little reason for House and Senate Democrats to follow the Obama administration's lead on Israel. We already saw a hint of this when 87 senators signed on to a letter that, in effect, warned Obama not to blame Bibi for the potential collapse of the peace talks.
Once the 2010 midterms are behind us, J Street completes its collapse, and the damage to the Democratic Party is assessed, there is an opportunity for those pro-Israel Democrats who pulled their punches to reconnect with their Republican colleagues and re-establish that broad-based pro-Israel coalition. A good start would be a unified message on Iran along the lines Joe Lieberman detailed in his recent speech on the subject. Another would be some congressional action with regard to political and human rights abuses in the Muslim World. Why are we giving billions to Mubarak when he represses his people? Why aren't we cutting funds to the UN Human Rights Council?
There are still liberal Democrats who will shy away from such moves and be uneasy about confronting the administration. But frankly, carrying water for the Obami is not good for one's political health. And Democrats will be all too familiar with that truism come November.

Product description
Even though the Persian period has attracted a fair share of scholarly interest in recent years, as yet no concerted effort has been attempted to construct a comprehensive social history of Phoenician city-states as an integral part of the Achaemenid empire. This monograph explores the evidence from Persian-period literary (both ancient Jewish and classical), epigraphic, and numismatic sources, as well as material culture remains, in order to sketch just such a history. This study examines developments in Persian-period Phoenician city-states on the three levels: that of the individual household, the city-state, and the administrative unit of the Persian empire. These three societal levels are analyzed within the contexts of economic competition between and among the Phoenician city-states, their burgeoning economic ties with the outside world, and their interaction with the Persian imperial influence in the Levant.

Review quote
'It is useful to have an English survey that gathers together the major sources and bibliography at a manageable length. The text will be a helpful starting point for those interested in getting to know the Phoenicians of the Persian Period.' - Review of Biblical Literature 'Dismissing the link between coinage and rowers proposed by H. T. Willinga in 1987, J. advances that mercenaries preferred to be paid in 'money of their own states or other currencies with a much wider area of distribution' than 'in currencies of different Phoenician city-states' (p. 106). This crucial issue for the social history of Achaemenid Phoenicia deserves further research and J. has produced a most convenient resource towards this aim.' - Palestine Exploration Quarterly

The Challenge of Achieving Effective Corporate Governance in an Increasingly Competitive Global Environment
The Canada Institute of the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars and the Toronto Board of Trade hosted William H. Donaldson, former chairman, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, for a keynote luncheon on April 12, 2006. Carol Stephenson, Dean of the Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario, introduced Mr. Donaldson. His address, "The Challenge of Achieving Effective Corporate Governance in an Increasingly Competitive Global Environment," proved a timely contribution to a topic that continues to be front and center in both the Canadian and U.S. business communities.
Donaldson discussed the changes in U.S. business practices mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act passed in 2002. He also talked about the differences between the U.S. and Canadian regulatory frameworks and how they were positioned to face the new global challenges for security market regulation. Donaldson described what he thought were the future challenges for global investing in particular the inevitability of adapting to an international financial reporting system.
In answering questions that followed his speech, Donaldson commented that Canada does not necessarily have to adopt U.S. governance standards. "There is going to be a need to pick and choose the best governance methodology that fits as wide a group of people as possible on a worldwide basis," he said. But he added that Canada will face a challenge participating in the global debate through its fractured structure of thirteen provincial and territorial securities commissions. "I think that Canada needs to get its house in order in terms of a unified approach to some of the governances issue here and to have a unified front that it can present to international councils to be able to say 'this is what we think is right' and see how much influence it can bring."
For a full transcript of his speech, please click here.
The Toronto audience of nearly three hundred people included top business people, government securities regulatory officials, academics, and public policy makers. Media coverage included ROB-TV and business reporters from the Globe and Mail and the National Post.
This program coincided with the launch of our One Issue, Two Voices publication
on corporate governance.

Many issues remain cloudy surrounding Seymour proposal
From reporter Jeff Farrell's tireless research on the topic of Seymour's incorporation over the past two weeks, something has became abundantly clear.
Neither the state of Tennessee nor the community of Seymour seems prepared for the large unincorporated area to become a full-fledged city.
Calls to a variety of state offices with questions about the incorporation process were met with confused responses and directions to contact other agencies.
The state largely directs inquiries to the Municipal Technical Advisory Service — a University of Tennessee group dedicated to helping answer technical questions for already-established cities and towns.
While MTAS is certainly helpful, it's not a state regulatory agency and its opinion on matters related to Seymour's situation are just that — opinions.
With a slew of Tennessee codes, attorney general's opinions and Supreme Court rulings floating around, it's next to impossible for a citizen or group of citizens to get completely up-to-date and accurate information on the steps a community would have to do to become incorporated.
In fact, one MTAS document officials often mention about the topic is nearly 15 years old and leaves many questions unanswered.
With no new areas successfully incorporated in the state since Three Way in Madison County became official in 1998, it's no wonder most at the state level become slack-jawed at the mention of forming a new city.
They hear the requests so infrequently, they're not even sure which department would be responsible for overseeing the process.
Those behind Incorporate Seymour, the group pushing for the community to unify as Sevier County's second-largest city, also seem somewhat behind the curve on the process.
It was suggested at the first meeting that members might be premature in bringing the matter to the public, and it has since come to light that they were unaware a large portion of their proposed city borders is in an area that might be ineligible for incorporation under the growth plan adopted by local governments several years ago.
In addition, no plan of services for the proposal has been released. And many of the primary arguments cited for the effort seem flawed.
Incorporate Seymour had argued the area was under threat of annexation, but the same growth plan appears to protect Seymour residents from involuntary annexation.
All in all, if the community's citizens truly wants to incorporate there's a lot of hard work, planning and convincing still to do. This isn't a step to take on a whim. Careful considerations must be made, and proper, thorough planning would be vital.

Cheverus AD 'honored' by national citation
In his nearly three decades as the athletic director at Cheverus High School, Gary Hoyt has been considered one of the finest in the state.
Earlier this month in Texas, Hoyt went national, earning a National Federation of State High School Associations Citation recognizing his work as an outstanding athletic director at the local, state and national level.
"It's nice to know you've made a difference and that the difference is not only recognized in your own school and state, but also nationally," said Hoyt. "It's an honor."
Hoyt, 59, has served as Cheverus AD for 28 years, but that only begins to tell his story. A Thornton Academy and University of Maine graduate, Hoyt first came to Cheverus as a chemistry, biology and physics teacher. Hoyt has served as a coach as well as an administrator and has led the school through countless changes (most notably the inclusion of female students) and rapid recent growth.
"Gary sees the big picture from the perspective of a parent, a coach, a teacher and an administrator," said Kennebunk High athletic director Thor Nilsen, a longtime colleague. "He is a role model for others to follow. His energy, dedication to his school and his commitment to athletics have allowed Gary to create a first-class program and facility. Over his career he has had a tremendous impact on athletics at the local and state levels. His service and leadership working on various sub-committees, including Sports Medicine, Officials Fees, and Sportsmanship, has not gone unnoticed. For his efforts through the years, Gary's recognition at the national level is fitting and well deserved."
Hoyt has won several professional awards, implemented a "Coaching for Character" program and helped create the athletic portion of Cheverus' web site. He helped develop and raise funds to build the Shea Field Athletic Complex and was instrumental in the completion of athletic practice facilities and an on-campus gym. Hoyt has presented at the Maine Interscholastic Athletic Administrators' Association conference on 10 occasions and has served on the Maine Principals' Association's Ice Hockey Committee, Sports Medicine Committee and Coaches Education Committee.
All of the above helped make this citation a slam dunk.
Hoyt, in his typical fashion, downplayed the award and praised others.
"I'm thankful for the heritage and legacy at Cheverus and in Maine," he said. "Without them, I never would have had an opportunity."
Longtime Cheverus boys' lacrosse coach Deke Andrew said that Hoyt has had a tremendous effect on him personally, as well as the school and athletic community.
"Gary is the most significant figure of my adult life," Andrew said. "His guidance and stability have been a key to my growth both as a coach and a person. Not only does he possess an innate ability to find high quality coaches, but his unwavering leadership creates an environment where they can succeed. His sense of duty to the Cheverus community is tireless. Gary is a presence at the school six days a week, 12 hours a day.
"It's difficult in words to do justice to the impact Gary makes on Maine high school athletics. He is without question the most progressive thinker. Never satisfied with the status quo, Gary looks to do what is best for the athletes and growth of their sport. His rare ability to create league schedules from scratch makes him the go-to resource for athletic directors around the state of Maine.
Making the award even sweeter was the company of his wife, Margaret, and two of his three children in Texas.
"The ceremony was an incredible production," Hoyt said. "It was wonderful to have my family there with me.
"Another nice part of this was that I reconnected with people from the past through notes, calls and cards."
Perhaps the best news of all is that Hoyt plans to remain an active athletic director for the foreseeable future, doing everything he can not only for Cheverus, but for high school sports in general.

The Iron Man of India, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel is remembered as a highly eminent statesman and leader of the masses. He played an instrumental role in the freedom struggle of India. His strict disciplinarian persona and staunch conviction of a unified India made the amalgamation of the 500 princely states to the Indian nation possible.
Hard-working since early life
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel was born to Jhaverbhai and Ladbai in a village called Karamsad (Bombay Presidency). According to the date of birth that he wrote in his matriculation examination, he was born on 31st October, 1870.
Since his childhood, he showed tremendous will power. He spent time working alongside his father in the fields. He also observed fast twice a month as per the Hindu customs. This observance has been regarded as the reason for his great physical endurance.
He studied in various schools in Borsad, Petlad and Nadiad while working to fund his education. He focused on saving money so that he could go abroad and study to become a barrister. He cleared his matriculation examination when he was 22 and set his eyes on becoming a lawyer. With unshakeable determination, borrowed books and relentless self-study, he cleared the law examination.
Strong concern for family honor and friends
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel was clear about his goals but he did not let his dreams come in the way of preserving family honor and fulfilling responsibilities. After becoming an advocate and having saved sufficient money for studying in England, he applied for the essential documents. The papers that arrived had the initials 'V.J Patel'. His elder brother, who too wanted to go abroad for studying, incidentally, had the same initials. He argued that being the elder one, he should get the opportunity. If the younger brother went first, their family would become a butt of jokes in the community.
The Iron Man of India agreed to sacrifice his dream for protecting the family name and decided to start saving again for his own visit in the coming years. At the age of 36, he went to England and became a barrister.
He showed his strong sense of responsibility towards his friends when he risked his life by taking care of a friend, who had caught the dreaded bubonic plague. When he fell sick, he left home and spent his days in isolation until full recovery.
Role in freedom struggle
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel developed a keen interest in Gandhi's methodology of running the struggle for independence after the Champaran protests. In 1917, he urged people to sign Gandhi's demand for Swaraj (self-rule). He plunged into the freedom struggle by taking responsibility of the activities in Gujarat.
He went to prison for his vehement participation in the Salt Satyagrah. His inspiring fiery speeches drove numerous people to stand up against the foreign rule.
His profound respect for Gandhi was quite evident during the election of the Congress president in 1946. Out of 16 states, 13 were extending their support to him for the post. At Gandhi's suggestion, he withdrew his name from the candidature and made way for Jawaharlal Nehru.
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel died of a stroke in 1950.

No problems and sorry that i didn't explain well. Carbon Express arrows are kinda backwards with their naming convention and spine. For example, a full length CE Maxima Hunter arrow shaft: Maxima 450 arrow is .298 spine Maxima 350 arrow is .337 spine Maxima 250 arrow is .417 spine The more weight your bow shoots, you will need a stronger spine arrow. In stronger, I am saying going from a .417 arrow to a .298 arrow. The Monster Safari bow at 85lbs will need an arrow beyond any of the Maxima range's IMO. Therefore, you will need to look at Gold Tip, Easton, Victory, etc. They make good quality arrows that are either .200 spine or .250 spine that will be well suited to handle the high output of the Monster Safari at 85lbs. I have to have two sets of arrows for my Safari. One set is when it is tuned at 70lbs and another set (Gold Tip Kinetic Pro 200s) for when I have it set at 85lbs. That should help a bit...

Charges were officially filed against Rhonda M. Ford, 29, on May 2, 2012, in answer to accusations made against her involving inappropriate behavior involving students at Clayton High School. Ford was a teacher at Clayton High School at the time of the incidents but quickly resigned.
Ford faces over 12 felony counts, including: 1 count of lewd molestation or indecent proposals to a child under the age of 16, 4 counts of second degree rape, 4 counts of sodomy and 3 counts of permitting guests under 21 to possess or consume alcohol or beer.
The accusations span a time frame from February 14, 2012 to February 23, 2012.
In March, the Clayton Police Department requested that the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation open a case based on allegations against Ford having a sexual relationship with a 15 year old male student attending Clayton High School.
The student told investigators that he had sex with Ford on at least 10 occasions in her home after their relationship started in February.
According to the affidavit, shortly after Valentine's Day, the student said he and Ford kissed and then had a sexual encounter that involved touching of the genitals. The boy said that he returned to Ford's residence and had intercourse with her the next day and up to 10 times total.
Three times the two preformed oral sex on each other, according to the affidavit.
The boy stated that because of the sexual relationship, he could identify a tattoo on Ford's pelvic area, which is placed low enough to be hidden by panties.
The document also alleges Ford of providing alcohol to three students at her residence in March after they had helped Ford move into her new house. According to the documents, there were two boys and one girl present at the time of the infraction. After they had helped Ford move, she bought them a 30 pack of bear. The students told investigators that Ford then fixed herself a cocktail of pineapple juice and rum, and provided one to one of the students present.
Before becoming employed at Clayton High School, Ford had been employed at Cleveland Public Schools where she was only employed for one semester. Cleveland High School Principle, Allen Baker, is listed as one of the witnesses for the State of Oklahoma on the affidavit, but no media outlets have been able to make contact with him as of yet.
Ford turned her self in to Pushmataha County Law Enforcement officers on Sunday, May 6, 2012 and was booked into the Pushmataha County Jail, where she remains. Ford's bond was sent in the amount of $100,000.00.

text: State spending on k-12 cut in Romney budget Despite claims that public schools are protected in the new budget plan, state spending on K-12 education is actually reduced when all factors are considered, according to the Massachusetts Teachers Association. If enacted, Gov. Mitt Romney's proposed reductions -- coming on top of recent education and local aid cuts -- would force many districts to lay off staff, increase class sizes, and reduce educational offerings at the local level in the coming fiscal year. A further concern is that fiscal experts, such as the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation, have determined that the governor's budget does not really contain $2 billion in "savings" garnered by eliminating "waste and fraud." Thus, a genuinely balanced budget plan will have to contain either more budget cuts or increased revenues. The MTA is asking the Legislature to "stand up for education" by increasing revenues, rather than making cuts in public schools or higher education. "Our children and college students are entitled to a quality education that will enable them to succeed in life and in the workforce," said MTA President Catherine A. Boudreau. The state contributes to K-12 education in three ways: (1) Chapter 70 school aid to cities and towns;(2) Education grant programs and reimbursements;(3) Lottery aid and additional assistance provided to communities -- funds that are spent on a variety of municipal services, including education. Romney's budget plan affects all three areas. (1) Chapter 70: House 1 increases Chapter 70 by $73 million (from $3.259 to $3.332 billion). According to MTA, that is $18 million less than needed to maintain Chapter 70 spending at current levels, when taking inflation and enrollment growth into consideration. (2) Grants and Reimbursements. House 1 decreases some grants and reimbursements and increases others. (Two of these line items are moved to other agencies, and, thus, are not considered in these calculations.) The net effect of these changes is to decrease state spending on these accounts by $63 million. Of the many grant reductions, the three biggest are: Full-day kindergarten: ($28 million) Class size reduction: ($18 million) Early literacy: ($18 million) These grants fund services with a proven track record of improving student achievement. Under the governor's plan, if school districts want to continue to fund these programs, they will have to take the money from other education accounts. The largest reimbursement reduction is: Transportation: ($72 million) The largest increase is:Special Education Circuitbreaker: $45 million (3) Other Local Aid. House 1 cuts non-Chapter 70 local aid by $232 million. (House 1 actually calls for the elimination of "additional assistance" and a reduction in "lottery aid." Those reductions are partially offset by a one-year allocation to a mitigation fund.) To make up for the loss of $232 million, many municipalities will be forced to make cuts in all municipal services, including public schools. Taking the larger picture into consideration, then, public schools are not "held harmless" by the governor's proposed budget.

1 cup
wild rice
3 cups
6 tablespoons
1 tablespoon
minced onion
1/2 cup
all-purpose flour
3 cups
chicken broth
3/4 cup
minced cooked ham
1/2 cup
shredded carrots
3 tablespoons
slivered almonds
1 cup
We loved this!! The first time I made this, I made it as directed and it was great but I thought it was just a little too rich and thick. So the next time, I made a few changes. I cooked up a box of long grain and wild rice mix from the store. I added the whole thing (about 2 1/2c.) to the soup. I also decreased the flour to 1/3c., so it wasn't so thick. I also used skim milk instead of the half and half. It turned out great! MY husband usually doesn't give anything a five star but this he said definitely was!
I scaled the recipe in half and made as written, except I followed the advice of other reviewers and cut the flour quantity in half; very glad I did. It is a bit bland, so I did add a splash or two of sherry to it; added the almonds more toward the end for a bit of crunchy texture, and also added a couple of grinds of freshly-grated black pepper as I served it. This was a nice soup to try. Thank you, Debra!

Very good! I made a few small changes and it turned out wonderful. I added 4 cups of broth instead of 3 to make it a bit less thick. I also added cooked chicken instead of the ham and it was a definite thumbs up!
I didn't add as much flour as other reviewers suggested and added a little extra ham and carrots and skipped the almonds all together since I didn't have any on hand. This was fantastic!!!! I served it for 10 guests and everyone thought it was great.
Excellent recipe. Tried it for my family and I'm going to serve it on Thanksgiving. I added some sauted mushrooms but fine without. Delcious!
This soup was like something you would get in a good restaurant. I didn't know how it would be without any spices, but it had just the right flavor. Even my picky eater really liked it. The only thing I did different was I used 4 cups of broth and it was still pretty thick. I definately will make this again!
Doubled the recipe and added a bit of celery with the onion. Also did 4 cups of broth vs. 3 and this was a great wild rice soup!
I just had this soup for dinner and it was excellent! I did use a box of long grain and wild rice and followed the box directions for that. So that was 2 cups of rice, I didn't have any ham so the extra rice made up for the missing ham. The only other changes I made were that I used only 4 tablespoons butter and 2% milk instead of half & half. It turned out great! It really was very delicious and elegant.

How Companies Hire International Candidates
As part of successfully locating a position, familiarize yourself with the challenges employers face in hiring international students and clearly communicate pertinent information about your work eligibility to a potential employer. It is helpful to understand that there are basically three types of companies.
first type of company
is one that may have a policy of not filing for H-1B or hiring international students on Optional Practical Training. These companies rarely make exceptions, except for candidates with skills that are difficult to find, as these companies can hire others who do not have visa restrictions. You may be able to position yourself with such a company if your skills and experience are in an area in which employers have difficulty finding appropriate candidates and if the employer does not have other constraints that would preclude them from being able to hire an international student, such as federal contracts or security clearance needs. Otherwise, you may want to focus your research upon identifying the other two types of companies.
second type of company
is one that has hired international students in the past and may be open to evaluating you for an employment opportunity if you possess the right skills for the position. Many of the companies in this category have their own attorney available on retainer to work with employment visa applications. Establishing yourself as the candidate of choice for the company is critical to obtaining an offer, and this type of company is more likely to hire an international student. As company needs frequently change, one national list does not exist that will help you to quickly identify these companies. However, you can utilize some of the resources below to identify companies who have hired international students in the past. Networking with other international students, faculty and others may help you to locate appropriate companies.
third type of company
is one that may not be as familiar with hiring international students. Some of these companies may not have previously hired international students. However, they may consider hiring a student who presents well in an interview, especially if the student is the right candidate for the position and can articulate their visa status and employment options in an organized, well thought-out, understandable manner.
Given the information above, it is critical that you understand your visa status and how it impacts potential employment, along with any pertinent immigration-related deadlines that would affect employment options. Make an appointment with the
International Programs Office
. Also, make an appointment with Career Services to learn how to position yourself for companies of interest.
Utilizing all of your resources and the strategies above will help you to maximize your success in the job search. Make an appointment with Career Services to develop an individualized job search plan and discuss your job search strategy.

Sorry, but there has to be more to the story. Is the OP boarding under an agreement that the BO uses te horse in a lesson program? That might explain why she seems to have no say in how the BO uses her horse. It would be nice if the OP would explain things more clearly. It's hard to make sense of things as they are now.
There is obviously something else going into this.

- Ph.D., University of California, Riverside, 2013.
Principal Research Interests
My main field of research is health and safety risk-taking behaviors. We know that emerging adults (ages 18-25), particularly emerging adults enrolled in 4-year colleges, participate in the highest rates of risky behaviors associated with unintentional injury and death.
My research focuses on understanding developmental changes and individual differences that contribute to this increase in risk-taking behaviors, with particular emphasis on social and cognitive factors. In another line of research using a social-cognitive framework, I have looked at bullying and victimization behaviors among older children and adolescents.

- Health and safety risk-taking behaviors

I come from a family of casual musicians, mostly pianists. When I was very young, I learned to play piano, then forgot it all when I was teenager and then discovered guitar and bass...
2. What training have you had?
Formal training? Almost none. But I've made every mistake one could make in the world of recording and learned from every one of them. I've also had the privilege of interning with some very knowledgable studio techs and engineers and consider that a very valuable education.
3. When did you get into recording?
As a teen in the 90's, my band needed a way to get our music on CD, but our budget was very limited. We pooled our parent's money and bought a cheap Tascam 4-track tape recorder. Since I was the resident geek, it was my job to figure out how to record a 5-piece band with only 4 tracks and 2 SM57s. When I discovered overdubbing, my mind was officially blown. Then I discovered software and digital recording and became an instant lifelong addict.
4. People you have worked with/for?
The vast majority of my work as an engineer, studio tech or producer has been for projects I was personally involved in, or for close friends. However, I have had the opportunity to work with several notable Bay Area studios over the years. Including a bit of work at the Wash House, famous for their work with late rapper Mac Dre.
5. Why are you so good at training people?
I consider the pursuit of knowledge a lifelong journey, and I've always been willing to share what I know with others... Perhaps to a fault. I've been known to speak at length on subjects for which there is no justifiable reason to know so much... I just enjoy teaching, and enjoy digital recording. I think the only things you need to train are knowledge and passion, and I'd like to believe that I have those in spades!
