http://www.dailypaul.com/266399/amer...-a-gun-problemOur government justifies murder every single day.
Weve been at war my entire life. Weve been at war for the majority of my fathers life. Weve been at war for the majority of the existence of this country. This country doesnt just co-exist with violence, it promotes it. It profits off of it. It uses it as a tool, not just politically, but economically. If you havent heard the term broken window policy, look it up. Its the notion that if something is destroyed, there will be an economic gain from rebuilding it. Thats Keynesianism and Keynesianism is the main economic philosophy that runs this country and the economies of many of the other western countries.
It is a violent philosophy in nature and through it we justify military spending and military raiding. Its what we do and its what we teach kids. Falsely attributing economic recovery and prosperity to war time. I learned that in the 4th grade. What got us out of the Great Depression, kids? WORLD WAR II!!!! The class would answer unanimously.
If you teach kids that war is profitable and that money is the key to happiness, people will support war so long as they perceive it as a means to make their life wealthier and happier.
And it works. When I was young, I bought that message hook, line and sinker. Im not brilliant but Im no idiot. Yet it sounded reasonable to me, the correlation was there and the logic made sense, at least to a child it did. But it was all a lie. I wont get into it here, go read Bastiat.
Through the propaganda of pushing war, we also justify murder and violence. How many protests and outcries do you hear when we drone an entire village of children in Pakistan or Yemen? Or when we drop a few bombs on a wedding or a funeral in the Middle East? It happens all the time and we just shrug our shoulders and move on. Its acceptable violence and through that acceptance we become numb.
Then theres the ultimate propaganda wing for violence; the media. News, movies, video games and even toys profit off of violence. News channels cant get enough coverage of murder, war, school shootings, hostage situations. Just watch the news and count how many serious positive stories they tell and how many violent stories they tell.
Then go to the movies or watch a television show. Violence is everywhere. Just look at the list of biggest movie blockbusters. Look at that list, almost every one of the Top 10 movies center around violence or war. Think of some of the most famous actors or characters in American cinema history; James Bond, Rambo, Terminator, Darth Vader, all hyper-violent murderers.
Then go to Toys-R-Us and take a stroll through the toy section. Soldiers, guns, fighting toys, its like a plastic military bunker in there. Whatever happened to building blocks and engineering toys? Even Legos have added guns and lasers and swords to every set. Then walk into the video game section. Modern Warfare, Battlefield, Halo. Kill, kill, kill, murder, murder, murder.
And we wonder why we have a violent society?
People want to blame inanimate objects. But thats what we like to do in America, blame others. We blame guns for murder just like we blame role models for our lack of parenting, we blame the successful for our own shortcomings. The problem is our own society and how we shift the blame from the responsible party to their choice of weapon.
I own 5 guns myself, never had to use one. We keep one at the family store where weve been robbed at gun point 6 times over the last 10 years, once with shots being fired. Luckily, never once when a family member was there. Not sure how I would have reacted if I was but I do feel safer knowing that if I or someone from my family is there, they have some sort of defense against the criminals.
There are hundreds of millions of guns in this country and tens of millions of gun owners. The majority of which go their entire lives without using the gun for crime let alone thinking about doing so. If guns were truly to blame, wed have 80 million murderers living within our own borders. The law abiding citizens have guns and want to keep owning guns because violent people have guns. Criminals have guns. Governments have guns. Police have guns. The 2nd amendment is there to level the playing field. We have these rights and they are defended in the Constitution to allow law abiding citizens the ability to defend, deter and defeat violence, criminals and tyrants.
Children are dead and thats the worst kind of tragedy. However, the gun isnt responsible, the gunman is. 22 children were stabbed in China by a man this week, while none of them died, 15 children have been killed since 2010 in that country. Evil people will do evil things. Murderers dont need guns to kill just like terrorists dont need guns to kill just like drunk drivers dont need guns to kill. Someone woke up this morning and decided they want to kill children. If you dont see some sort of physiological issue there than Ive wasted my time with this post. Someone who is willing to kill children is willing to do a lot of inhumane things, even in the absence of guns. There is a problem with his morality and his mentality.
Guns and gun owners arent the problem, its how they are used and more importantly who they are used by thats the problem. Dig deeper than that and youll find that the real problem is how the American society promotes the same behaviors through war and media which end up causing us the greatest anguish.
We are violent and irresponsible and more importantly we are delusional and unwilling to get to the root of our problems, the morality of this country.
You cant legislate violence out of a society by outlawing objects or even actions. If that worked, wed have won the War on Drugs 50 years ago. Just as how prohibition didnt work in the 1920 and it actually increased usage along with illegal activities and violence, gun bans wont work. You cant change the morality of people through the passage of laws, if that worked, wed have empty prisons and a Utopian society. But clearly that doesnt work seeing how we have the highest prison population rate in the world and we still cant end the violent culture of this country.
We have some serious mental health issues in this country and no one is willing to do a thing about it. The mental capacity to justify killing children, whether it be a citizen or our government, is a serious issue that goes beyond the existence of the gun. When we see issues arise in a person, we are afraid to talk to them, get them help or confront them, just like we are afraid to parent our own children. We see the all the signs that a person isnt right and most of us choose to walk away from the problem instead of resolving it. If you see someone who needs help, help them or get them help. Its that simple. Dont walk away thinking they become someone elses problem. Societys problem is everyones problem. You cant walk away from these things and how that they disappear.
This morality problem is an issue that is at the very base of our societal roots and its one we have failed to address. Change cant come by force or by legislation. The people have to be willing to accept that change. It has to be an intellectual change. We need to teach our children, hope that the learn to become moral citizens. We must condemn violence regardless if its perpetrated by a local crook or by our military and government. There are no exceptions to morality, violence is violence. Murder is murder. Dont try to justify it and dont teach others to ignore it.
America has a decision to make, especially with the rise of mass shootings and the call for gun bans across the country, are we going to finally solve our morality problem or are we going to deffer the blame and ban guns?
Thanks for reading.
Good read.

We've learned negotiations to renovate the Target Center for $100-million dollars have hit a snag. One City Council member confirms the Timberwolves and AEG, the company that manages Target Center, would like a long-term financial commitment to ensure Target Center gets upgrades down the road. That's a whole lot more money than the City is willing to pledge right now. Here is the full interview with City Council member, Gary Schiff, who explains why talks have slowed …but are far from dead.

Last American Virgin
October 30th 2008 21:13
The teen sex comedy genre reached epic heights in the 80s, when a flurry of releases made being a teenager seem wild again; the genre always seemed to pit boys against girls, in the quest to see who could have risky, unprotected sex.
Since then, however, the hedonism and irresponsibility of those days have been lost, along with the relative innocence. We've had a resurgence of sex comedies from Hollywood, starting with "American Pie", continuing on with a series of decreasing quality. Lately, Judd Apatow and crew have hit the box office with the likes of "Knocked Up" and "40-Year-Old Virgin", while Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson stepped up with their own crew to give us "Old School" and "The Wedding Crashers".
For my generation, though, the most influential film was, arguably, "Fast Times at Ridgemont High", starring several future Oscar winners, directed by Amy Heckerling and written by Cameron Crowe. It managed to capture the ennui of small town high schools, plus the rabid desire for love and approval - best of all, it ignited the imaginations of me and my contemporaries with that legendary scene of Phoebe Cates, stepping out of the swimming pool.
The success of "Fast Times..." eclipsed the release of another teen sex comedy, one that, perhaps, should have received more credit: "The Last American Virgin". It's an American remake of a very successful Israeli teen comedy, "Eskimo Limon", which went on to spawn -six? -seven? -eight sequels. Though it was based on a successful foreign film, "The Last American Virgin" went unnoticed and flopped at the box office.
For a small group of cult film fans, though, it was a far superior film, despite the terrible acting, the half-hearted production and the unbelievability of it all. Eli Roth is a massive fan of the film, going as far as to make his cast and crew watch it, as he prepares his own sex comedy, "Scavenger Hunt".
Directed by Boaz Davidson, the film centers around a group of three friends, each set to a stereotype, as outlined by Eli Roth: the Cool guy, the Nerd/Nice guy and the Fat guy. This divine trinity is an unlikely set of protagonists by today's Photoshop standards, but in the 80s, it was key.
The three boys only think about sex, and will do anything to get it. It's a remarkably shallow plot, and one that seems to be watered down compared to the intricate social hierarchy of "Fast Times...", but "The Last American Virgin" really steps into the clouds when the Nice guy falls for a girl, but she, naturally, falls in love with the Cool guy.
At the end, though, when the cute girl, played by Diane Franklin, with curly hair and an innocent smile, - when she gives up her virginity, gets pregnant and goes to the abortion clinic, it's here that we feel ashamed of our lechery, our desire for knowledge of flesh.
Teen sex comedies flourished in the 80s with the idea of carefree sex, and it's something I wished I had embraced as a teenager, instead of the crushing weight of paranoia about AIDS and STDs. Pregnancy seemed like something unreal, something that happened to adults, until a friend of mine announced that she was swollen with child, and that she would give it up for adoption.
"The Last American Virgin" ends miserably, which makes it transcend from mere obnoxious comedy into a film to be treasured. The idea of virginity, remarked in the title, seems less about the physical act of sex; it's more about the loss of innocence and the acceptance of pain in real life.
I say: If you can find it, grab it with more hands and never let it go.
See it for: The soundtrack, from '82, is epic by any standard: U2, Devo, The Police, Oingo Boingo, The Cars, and much, much more.

Mormon missionaries safe in Thailand after coup
After a bloodless military coup in Thailand, LDS missionaries in the Southeast Asian nation "are safe and are communicating regularly with mission leaders," church spokesman Cody Craynor said Friday.
"Missionaries were instructed to return home early in the evening," Craynor said in a statement, "and maintain basic provisions in their apartments."
There is one LDS mission in Thailand with just under 200 missionaries, including a growing number of females — "sister missionaries." The bulk of the young full-time proselytizers are serving in the capital, Bangkok, which is "quite calm at the moment," Kristie Kenney, U.S. ambassador to Thailand, told CNN.
LDS leaders, Craynor said, "continue to closely monitor the situation."
There are 18,000 Mormons in Thailand.

SIA Flashback – 1954 Zeder: The Second Z-car
What would you expect the son of famed Chrysler engineer Fred Zeder to drive, some boring sedan? No, Fred Zeder Jr., in the early 1950s, conceived a hot little Hemi-powered, Italian-bodied sports car, and unlike many other young dreamers of the day, actually had the resources to get it built through his family's connections at Chrysler. It's interesting to speculate what might have been, had Zeder Jr. been able to produce the car as he intended. Michael Lamm had the story of the car for SIA #142, July 1994.

Today this car is at the Petersen Automotive Museum and looks as great as ever.
Oh oh, now I'll have to go through my collection of old SIA to reread the article about this beauty.
I could never understand why Chrysler had so many beautiful specialty cars,and concepts which never went into production.They had so much power and class.Just the right note !
One of my all time favorites! Being ex-USN Special Forces and with the name Stormbringer you can see why I like this one.
Here's some more recent pics from Just A Car guy blog.

Manufacturing businesses set for spending boost
Posted: March 06, 2014|
Manufacturing businesses in the East Midlands are gearing up to spend more on new machinery, according to an industry survey.
Some 84 per cent said they were planning capital investments over the next 12 months, according to the latest Manufacturing Advisory Service (MAS) Barometer, with companies looking to spend £129,000 on average.
A similar survey last June suggested 48 per cent were planning to invest in machinery and premises, an indicator of how much confidence has grown since then.
The survey of small to medium-sized manufacturers said more and more firms were planning to invest in new plant and machinery, IT/communications and improving premises.
Many said they were relying on grants and support from the Government's Regional Growth Fund for the investment.
Nearly 100 manufacturers took part in the survey, which provides an overview of economic conditions during October to December 2013.
MAS, which is funded by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, supports manufacturers through experienced advisers who can help shape strategy, create new products, reduce waste and review supply chain. Its regional office is in Melton.
It said 63 per cent of companies reported an increase in sales over the last six months – 9 per cent up on the last report – while three quarters of businesses expect to boost sales between now and June.
JCK Joinery, in Heanor Street, off St Margarets Way, Leicester, was one of the companies questioned.
The firm, which manufactures timber doors for security, fire, access control and bespoke applications, has grown 20 per cent in the last year and is predicting further expansion in 2014.
Part of the Britdoors Group, it has increased its workforce to 25, taking on two new operatives and a trainee.
Commercial manager Anthony Kellett said: "Architects and other client groups are certainly a lot more discerning with the type of doors they require these days.
"Britdoors have made a conscious decision to invest in our Leicester factory, opening up 3,500 sq ft of additional premises to accommodate production space, not to mention the installation of an additional paint shop and machine tooling.
"This means we've been able to keep up with demand and also put in place a platform for future growth."
David Caddle, area director for MAS, said: "There is a definite feel-good factor around East Midlands manufacturing at the moment.
"Investment is crucial if we are going to take advantage of reshoring and predicted growth in markets such as offshore wind, renewables and low carbon vehicles."

Order a kebab platter for delivery and you will get: Pita bread, a small container of techina, pickles (cucumber and hot peppers), An Onion, a spice packet, (Saffrin?), A side order of Tahdig (most of the time), An onion + the kebab, rice and tomato (perfect). The Gourmeh Sabzi and Bademjoun are really tasty.

I think the food is really good - I've ordered many times when I'm stuck at work and you can't get great food at a better value at any other Kosher restaurant. Each entree comes with a huge side of tadig plus salad and pickled vegetables. I highly recommend it!
Posted by Midtowner on 05/13/2004
It's over priced -- you could have much better food from a cart on the street for 1/6th the price! The food is nothing special, so unless you're Kosher, stay away!
Posted by Anonymous on 04/16/2004
The food isn't all that great and it's well over-priced for the quality that it offers. Definitely rather go to Ravagh or Persepolis, a little cheaper or the same on most dishes and the food is 100 times better.
Posted by Anonymous on 01/14/2004
A great place to order in from - you literally get a whole, satisfying, delicious meal with each entree.
Posted by Grono on 10/30/2003
Excellent food. The atmosphere is a bit dreary, and a pet peeve is the tiny soft drink bottles. But the service is very good.

Before the growth in the fields
of inevitable verses,
before the grass falls asleep
in expectance of a violin,
before the faning chestnut-tree
fondles me with its thoughts...
Before the violets paint themselves
with a haze of a bird indifference
before i hear an impuden laugh
of an acid rain,
before the burning of the butterflies
at the stake of the spring temple...
The crocus was alone
and saffron from impatience.

S.A.'s homicide rate is up 22% this year
By Eva Ruth Moravec : August 25, 2012 : Updated: August 26, 2012 11:37am

Irene Solis, whose son, Isaac Champion, was killed in an incident classified as "justified homicide," holds a portrait of him with his daughter, Channel, on Thursday, Aug. 16, 2012.

Isaac Champion, 20, (but 18 in this 2/19/10 booking photo) killed around 12:30 a.m. today, 4/9/12, in a shooting at his girlfriend's house in the 100 block of Terrell Avenue (106 Terrell Ave) after he refused to leave the house and reportedly threatened one of the girlfriend's female friends who struggled with him over a gun and shot him.

Hernandez's son was shot and killed by police last Wednesday afternoon at the Days Inn near Laredo street and Interstate-35. Police say the man was a suspect in six robberies.
Photo By COURTESY PHOTO
This is a drivers license photo of Gregory Clark Miller, 52, who was shot and killed by a San Antonio police officer on 4/4/12 when they responded to Miller's house at 11627 Sandman St at 1:45 a.m.
As the number of homicides has climbed 22 percent this year in San Antonio, the death of Isaac Champion in April is one of six that was ruled "justified."
He and his girlfriend had been fighting when she called the police, but he left before they arrived so he could cool off, his mother said.
When he returned, the fight resumed and the woman sent a text message to a friend, Krystan Rios, asking for help, according to a police report.
It was Rios, 21, who would fatally shot Champion, 20, after the two struggled over a gun in his waistband.
She told police the shooting was an act of self-defense: she was in fear for her life, she said.
Rios was not charged in connection with Champion's death, and the incident is one of six justifiable homicides from the first half of 2012. He leaves behind a 1-year-old daughter, Channel.
"They closed the case and let her walk away," said Champion's mother, Irene Solis, 38. "Everybody remembers his laugh, his smile. His daughter was his pride and joy — he loved that little girl to death."
Sixty one people were killed in San Antonio between January and June 30 in incidents classified as murders, manslaughters, justified homicides and officer-involved homicides.
That's up from 50 in the same period last year, based on statistics compiled by the San Antonio Express-News, following what experts say is a national pattern.
"The thing that concerns me is that if there were a particular location or a group of individuals causing a lot of murders, creating a pattern, those are easier to predict and easier to strategize on stopping," Police Chief William McManus said. "The trend is that there is no trend — (homicides) are pretty much all over the map this year."
Since July 1, SAPD investigated another 11 homicides in the city, one of which involved a police officer who killed a suspect.
San Antonio, like the rest of the U.S., has seen a rise in officer-involved killings as well as homicides categorized as "justified," under the years-old "Castle Doctrine" that allows people to use deadly force in certain circumstances.
All of the SAPD officers involved in shootings before July 1 have been cleared of any wrongdoing by the Bexar County district attorney's office, McManus said. In all of last year, there were no officer-involved fatalities.
"Nationally, we've seen an alarming trend where suspects are no longer giving up, they're starting to attack," said Mike Helle, president of the local police union. "Statistically, we're seeing more actors who are taking out violence against police officers."
Killings in the U.S. were down 2 percent in 2011,according to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting statistics, which omit justifiable homicides from annual totals. But after the first half of this year, experts say the U.S. is experiencing a rise in slayings.
One pattern criminologists have seen is more justified slayings in Texas and other states whose laws allow citizens to arm themselves to protect their life or property if faced with a deadly threat. "People are not being prosecuted when they've acted in self-defense, and that may be giving people more confidence to use deadly force when they have to," said Michael L. Seigel, director of the Criminal Justice Center at the University of Florida.
Ruled justified
In 2007, state Sen. Jeff Wentworth, R-San Antonio, authored changes to Senate Bill 378 to allow people to defend themselves at any location where they have a right to be.
Texas' amended law lacks a clause that encouraged restraint, similar to other "Stand Your Ground" laws in states including Florida, where Trayvon Martin, 17, was fatally shot by a neighborhood watchman in February.
"The 'duty to retreat' premise is that life should be saved at all costs, even if the life you're saving is someone who's attacking you," Seigel said. "Under 'Stand Your Ground,' citizens are able to protect themselves from thugs on that street; if that protection requires deadly force, that's OK, as long as in fact it was in self-defense."
Of the six justified homicides between Jan. 1 and July 1 this year, two took place during a home invasion or attempted burglary; two were a result of a fight or gunfire exchange; and two others were domestic disputes.
Five of the incidents took place after Martin's death, which some experts say may have affected Americans' behavior.
"One of the leading hypotheses, is maybe there's an emulation affect to all of the recent attention given to these self-defense cases, most notably with George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin," said J. Mitchell Miller, a criminal justice professor at the University of Texas at San Antonio and an Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences fellow.
In May, Keith Harp, 68, fatally shot a man who had forced his way inside Harp's home in the 8000 block of West Hausman Road.
Harp told police he shot Erick Whitaker once as he came into the house, but Whitaker reportedly continued to approach Harp, who then fired twice more.
Whitaker, 19, died at the scene.
This month, a man who answered the phone number listed for Harp replied, "Who's asking?" when a reporter called for him.
The reporter, who had phoned Harp's home from his front gate, requested an interview for a story on justified homicides.
"Ma'am, you back your car out of that driveway right now or I will call the police," he said. Moments later, a man emerged from the home and watched as the reporter drove away.
Champion, 20, was a gang member in his teens and already had a criminal history of assaults when he was killed by Rios in the 100 block of Terrell Avenue.
"Once I saw the gun, I just went at him to take the gun away," Rios told police. "I don't know how I took it away but I did, and when I did, I shot right at him."
Champion was shot five times.
"There is no way, in my eyes, that she can claim self-defense after shooting him that many times," Solis said. "Why didn't she get away? Why would she stay there and argue with him? I don't think that she should have gotten away with murder."
McManus said that while SAPD investigates justified homicides, too, he doesn't pay as much attention to them as he does the rest of the city's homicides.
"That law has been on the books in Texas prior to the Martin case, and I just think a lot of people are exercising their legal rights to defend their property," he said. "I'm more concerned with the murders than the justified ones."
Armed and dangerous
It's understandable that, after the law changed to allow lethal action if necessary, more citizens armed themselves.
From 2007 to the end of 2011, new concealed handgun licenses increased by more than 45 percent in San Antonio and 39 percent statewide, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Criminologists say this increase has also led to more officer-involved shootings, since suspects are more likely to be armed.
"Anecdotally, it does seem that it's been more violent for police officers, whether it's armed attacks, multiple murders or just resisting and fighting," said Bill Johnson, the executive director of the Virginia-based National Association of Police Organizations. "Suddenly, walking up to a traffic stop can become a violent encounter. I think it's a trend."
All five people shot by police before July 1 were armed.
Two of the men slain by police this year were suicidal.
Javier Torres was killed in March after he fired a gun at officers; in June, Derrick Smith was fatally shot after he approached police while refusing to drop a screwdriver, then ripped out prongs of an officer's deployed Taser.
Two others died after police were called to investigate family disturbances. On April 4, Gregory Clark Miller was shot after he refused to drop a machete while approaching police, and in May, Gilbert Luis was killed while walking towards officers wielding a large kitchen knife.
On April 11, Mario Soto was fatally shot after he fired a gun at undercover police trying to arrest him on felony robbery warrants.
McManus said the rise in officer-involved homicides this year doesn't mean the SAPD is trigger-happy.
"The question is always asked, 'Why is it that we've gone so long without one?' The answer is, it all depends on what the officers encounter when they're on the streets," McManus said.
Curious criminologists
Miller said he and his colleagues have been watching with curiosity the overall rise in homicides, but so far, explanations are mere theories.
"This is a fairly recent phenomenon," he said. "But this has been something that's been obvious as it's developed, almost in real-time. It's been interesting how apolitical a topic this has been."
Seigel researched how the laws have affected homicide rates across the country, and found that justified homicides, including officer-involved incidents and those involving civilians, are on the rise.
"Our studies are showing that in general, in states where the law hadn't changed in five or six years, we're generally not seeing an increase in homicides," he said. "In Texas, there definitely has been an increasing trend of homicides classified as justifiable."
From 2007 to 2010, the rate of justified homicides in Texas nearly doubled, Seigel said.
"Since then, it's kind of stayed at this elevated rate," he said. "You could have predicted this outcome."

2 suffer minor injuries in W.Va. blast
ROCKET CENTER, W.Va. (AP) — A spokesman for the defense contractor that operates a Navy-owned ballistics laboratory in West Virginia says two employees received minor injuries in an explosion.
Alliance Techsystems spokesman Brian Grace said the cause of Monday afternoon's explosion at the Alleghany Ballistics Laboratory is under investigation. He said the two injured workers were expected to be released from a Cumberland, Md., hospital Monday night.
Grace said nobody works in the building where the explosion occurred. The injured workers were in a nearby building.
Fire and rescue crews from a broad area responded. Grant County resident John Lutz said he could see the smoke from his home 30 miles away.
Alliance Techsystems produces explosives and rocket propellants for the Department of Defense at the plant, which employs about 1,400.

My wife and I, along with friends & relatives, have been going to Stir Crazy for 10 years now, and we uniformly agree it's the best Asian restaurant in the region. For many folks (although not for me personally), the big draw is the stir-fry bar where you select your rice or noodles, your veggies, your protein and your sauce, and then stand in the cafeteria-style line while a cook rapid-fire makes your dish to order, and you take it back to your table while it's still sizzling in your plate. I prefer their pad thai (the national dish of Tailand), served while I watch my table-mates wait patiently at the sometimes too crowded but fun stir-fry bar. Either way, Stir Crazy delivers what you want from an Asian restaurant -- excellent dishes nicely prepared. Plus, they have a very good selection of tasty appetizers and soups, noodle dishes, and entrees like cashew chicken that my wife loves. We've never been disappointed by virtually any dish we've ordered here. No wonder it's always busy during peak dinner hours. And if there's time afterward, you can walk off your meal by strolling through Town Center.

I didn't have food but that bartender Bill makes the best drinks in town. I'm actually allergic to asian food but his smile beckoned me from the door. Two thumbs up! :-)

Hi, I was lucky enough to be offered a dozen or so laurel bushes, about 5ft high, and I though they'd be great to fill a 5ft gap for more privacy.
However, I have now read up a little and I am concerned I might have cut the roots too far back? There were planted in a friends garden and I cut around a foot square around each plant, chopped off the roots, and pulled out.
That was this morning, and so now I currently have ten plants sat in buckets of water as I dont want the roots to dry out.
Have I just killed off some perfectly good bushes? I was planning on replanting tomorrow (weather permitting). I'm aware they will need to be kept watered once planted so the roots dont dry out and to expect some of the leaves to die and fall away initially. Is there anything else I need to know?
You might be lucky Kevin but you have cut off the business end of the roots. I'd cut some top back to balance them up and keep them watered but not drowned. Speak to them very nicely and they may survive. If one of them does it will be more than enough for a 5 foot gap.
Yep, prune the top growth right now or u'll lose them for sure. They used to have the right amount of root to support the to growth, but not anymore! Don't worry - if they live, they'll grow back fine (and fast) next year. And get them out of the bucket or you'll drown them. Air round roots is just as crucial as water. Get them pruned and planted immediately (though I struggle to keep just one laurel to a 5ft 'ball'). Dont over water, or you'll rot off new roots. Just give em a soak if soill dry from about a finger-depth below surface. Good luck.
Thanks Nutcutlet and auntie betty
Just to clarify, I cut the roots at about 12-15 inches along as I was digging out - does this change any of the earlier advice? Perhaps not..!?
It's those fine roots at the end that take up water and nutrients Kevin. Have you still got some of those?
And are they joined on to the bushes?
Sorry - couldn't resist I'll get my coat ....................
I see what you mean about the roots...
I've down to around 3ft high, should i prune leaves, take off half the branches? I'm thinking of ways to preserve water requirements to the main stem?
Thanks Doveformabove - just get another shandy and sit back down
Can you take a photo or 2 Kevin so we can see what you've got there?
Do these help?
You'll need to remove a lot of top to balance the lack of root. The roots won't hold that lot upright apart from the water loss problem. I'd cut them back really hard. Get them in the soil asap, their roots shouldn't be exposed to the air. Give them a good watering in but don't over water them after that. They won't be absorbing much because they haven't got much root and they won't be using much if you chop the top growth back. You don't want them to drown.
Not a huge expert, but from generations of farmers, so know a bit about hedges, (planting as well as uprooting ).
You've not got a lot of root there for some quite large bushes.
I would be very brave and cut the tops right back to about 18" from the soil level, then plant in really well prepared soil with some lovely compost/leafmould etc. Don't let them get waterlogged, but also don't forget to water them. If they survive (and they probably will) they'll shoot again from the bottom and you'll get a lovely thick hedge in a few years' time - if they don't, well they probably wouldn't have done anyway so what have you lost?
Good luck
Oh, had to leave mid-post to answer the phone - son needs ideas for fancy dress costume so didn't see your post Nut - but totally agree
Thanks all for the advice
So, amazingly I have received a message this morning that there are another 6 laurel bushes on offer...
So, do I try digging those out instead and replacing the 'butchered' ones? If so, do I dig 3 feet around and 2 feet under each? More? Less? What should I look for? For example, on the ones I dug up before they each had a stronger 'tap' root which was around an inch in diameter but spread out from the bush horizontally, and as you now I chopped off at around 18 inches.
Should I dig all the root out? Might it be 3 or 4 feet long?

PHOTO | UFC Fight Night 27: Condit vs. Kampmann 2 Poster
A pivotal welterweight matchup is set for the second ever UFC on FOX Sports 1 event at the end of this month on the 28th between Martin Kampmann and Carlos Condit.
UFC officials recently released the official poster which features the two main event fighters and two more featured bouts set for the free televised card.
3 Responses to "PHOTO | UFC Fight Night 27: Condit vs. Kampmann 2 Poster"
I'd like to see Kampmann wrestle him with his striking. Should be good. Kampmann is an awesome striker, but he has limited skills every where else. He should have wrestled. I though he would go farther, but he is probably done. I got Condit. Condit can still improve. GO USA!!! lol.
Condit all the way. His striking is top in the WW division, if he had some takedown defense, i could see him holding the belt

Up Next: The University of New Mexico men's soccer team opens NCAA Tournament play Saturday, Nov. 24, at UCLA. Game time is 8:00 p.m. (M.S.T.). The winner plays at Santa Clara on Wednesday, Nov. 28. Boston College is the overall No. 1 seed in the 48-team field.
This is the 10th meeting between the Lobos and the Bruins. UCLA has a commanding 8-1 lead in the series, including a 2-0 shutout Sept. 8, 2006, in Albuquerque. New Mexico's only victory was 1-0 at home in 1992 when UCLA was ranked No. 2 in the nation.
The Lobos are 12-4-2 overall, including a 7-1-2 mark in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. New Mexico clinched its sixth MPSF regular-season title in the past seven years Sunday with a 0-0 tie against Denver, earning the automatic bid to the championship.
UCLA is 8-8-3 overall and finished 4-4-2 in the Pac-10. The Bruins lost to UC Santa Barbara in last year's national final.
The first four rounds will be held at campus sites. The semifinals and championship will be held Dec. 14 and 16 in Cary, N.C.
The Lobos are making their fourth straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament, and sixth in the past seven seasons. UNM has a 7-4-2 record in NCAA championship play.
Last year, New Mexico beat the University of San Francisco 1-0 before falling to Cal 3-1 in the second round.
Buoyed by a No. 2 overall seed in 2005, the Lobos got past Wisconsin-Milwaukee on penalty kicks and beat Cal State Northridge and Cal at home to advance to its first College Cup. UNM knocked off Clemson in the semifinals before losing to Maryland in the title game.
In 2001, New Mexico won the MPSF Tournament to earn its first NCAA bid. In long-time head coach Klaus Weber's final year, UNM defeated Florida International 1-0 in the opening round before falling to No. 1 SMU 2-0 in the second round.
In 2002, current head coach Jeremy Fishbein's first season, the Lobos won the MPSF regular season and tournament titles before defeating Bradley 2-1 in the first round. UNM fell to No. 18 Saint Louis 1-0 in the second round.
In 2004, the Lobos earned a first-round bye before defeating Portland. They went on to tie No. 4 Virginia on the road, but the Cavaliers advanced on penalty kicks 6-5.

Web Site: www.UCLABruins.com
RECAPPING LAST WEEKEND: New Mexico clinched its fourth consecutive MPSF title with a 2-0 win at Air Force and a 0-0 tie at Denver. Despite winning four straight conference titles, New Mexico has needed a win on the last day of play in each of the last three seasons. Had Denver won Sunday's match, the Pioneers would hae secured the leagues automatic bid.
LOBOS UNDEFEATED IN THE FIRST ROUND: The University of New Mexico men's soccer has never lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, posting a 3-0 record. UNM had first-round byes in 2004 and 2005. The Lobos defeated Florida International 1-0 in 2001, Bradley 2-1 in 2002, and San Francisco 1-0 last season.
ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICAN STREAK CONTINUES: Junior Chris Wright and sophomore Simon Ejdemyr both earned ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American honors this season. Wright earned a spot on the first team while Ejdemyr was named to the third team. The Lobos have now had at least one representative on the squad each year since 2003. Only Maryland has had at least one student-athlete honored each year during that same stretch.
WRIGHT 13TH IN THE NATION IN GOALS...WINS MPSF SCORING TITLE: Lobo junior Chris Wright has secured the MPSF scoring title with 28 points on 12 goals and four assists. He is 18th in the NCAA in points per game and 13th in the nation in goals.
BARRERA LEADS MPSF IN ASSISTS: Lobo senior Diego Barrera has recorded eight assists on the season to lead the MPSF in that category.
LOBO OFFENSE RANKED 14TH IN THE NATION: New Mexico is averaging 2.11 goals per game, ranking first in the MPSF and 14th in NCAA Division I. The Lobos have scored 10 goals in their last four games.
LOBOS TOUGH AT HOME UNDER FISHBEIN: The Lobo men's soccer team has posted a 24-2-1 mark in Mountain Pacific Sports Federation action at the UNM Soccer Complex under head coach Jeremy Fishbein. The only two losses at home under Fishbein came against UNLV (2-0 on Oct. 18, 2003) and San Jose State (3-2 (OT) on Oct. 16, 2005).
IN THE RANKINGS: The Lobos are No. 24 in the Soccer America and NSCAA Final Top-25. CollegeSoccerNews.com and SoccerTimes did not post their polls this week. New Mexico has now been ranked for 50 consecutive weeks, dating back to the start of 2004.
New Mexico is Strong with a Lead: The Lobos are tough to beat when scoring first or leading at the half. In head coach Jeremy Fishbein's tenure, New Mexico is 75-3-7 when finding the back of the net first and 47-1-2 when holding a halftime lead. The last time UNM surrendered a lead and lost the match was at UNLV on Nov. 3, 2007, in a 2-1 OT loss to the Rebels. The only time the Lobos lost a match when leading at the half was a 3-2 loss to the Spartans in the finals of the 2003 MPSF Tournament Nov. 16, in Sacramento, Calif.
LOBOS BOAST HIGHEST WINNING % SINCE 2004: The University of New Mexico men's soccer team boasts the highest winning percentage in Division I over the last three years. The Lobos are 61-10-11 (.811) since the start of 2004. Only UC Santa Barbara (64-19-9), Maryland (64-18-9) and Wake Forest (62-18-10) have more wins than the Lobos over the last three years. Here is a look at the top teams in the nation based on winning percentage since 2004.
New Mexico - 61-10-11 - .811
Akron - 59-14-10 - .771
Indiana - 60-15-14 - .753
Maryland - 62-18-9 - .747
Wake Forest - 62-18-10 - .744
Virginia - 57-20-7 - .720
FIVE LOBOS NAMED ACADEMIC ALL-DISTRICT: Seniors Mike Graczyk and Joey Vitagliano, juniors Mike Porter and Chris Wright and sophomore Simon Ejdemyr were named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District VI team. In order to qualify, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.2 cumulative grade-point-average and be a significant contributor on the team. Each of these five players are now eligible for Academic All-American. Wright was a second team Academic All-American selection last season.
GRACZYK SWEEPS WEEKLY HONORS: Senior keeper Mike Graczyk took home all of the honors on Sept. 24 after shutting out Cal State Northridge and No. 12 San Francisco in the previous week. The preseason All-American earned the Brine-Mountain Pacific Sports Federation co-Player of the Week and was named to both CollegeSoccerNews.com and Soccer America's National Teams of the Week. Graczyk is now UNM's all-time leader in career shutouts with 28.
LOBOS NOT A GOOD HOST FOR DEFENDING CHAMPS: UNM's 2-1 win over No. 9 and defending NCAA Champion UC Santa Barbara Gauchos marks the second time in three years a defending champion has left the UNM Soccer Complex with a loss. New Mexico also dropped No. 1 Indiana at home on Sept. 19, 2004, 1-0 in double-overtime.
LOBOS TAKING ON TOUGH COMPETITION: So far this season the Lobos have posted a 2-1-0 record against teams that were in the 2006 NCAA Tournament. UNM defeated Cincinnati 1-0, a first round participant, and UCSB 2-1, the 2006 NCAA Champs. UNM has split its two matches against top-25 teams, defeating the Gauchos and dropping a 1-0 match to No. 24 Washington.
GrACZYK ETCHING HIS NAME IN THE LOBO RECORD BOOK: With a 4-0 win over Cal State Northridge, senior keeper Mike Graczyk became UNM's all-time leader in shutouts with 30 in his career. He passed his predecessor Andrew Weber who played nearly every minute in goal from 2001-04. Graczyk was named to CollegeSoccerNews.com's preseason All-American second team and the Soccer America preseason All-American squad coming in to 2007. His 0.64 career g.a.a. coming into the season was the lowest in school history. Graczyk has been the primary keeper since the start of the 2005 season and played all but 30 minutes in 2007. He is currently in second place on the career wins list with 46. Weber holds the Lobo record with 50 career wins in goal.
BARRERA NAMED MPSF PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Diego Barrera was named the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Player of the Week for Week 3. Barrera, a senior from Thousand Oaks, Calif., scored the game-winner in the Lobos' 2-1 win over No. 9 and defending NCAA Champion UC Santa Barbara on Sept. 16. Barrera transferred to UNM from Loyola Marymount prior to the start of the season. An all-region selection in 2006, Barrera was one of the most sought after transfers in college soccer over the summer. His impact on the Lobos has been immediate, with his other goal being a game-winner against Cincinnati on Sept. 9.
SAJJADI, BROWN POWER TEXANS TO NATIONAL TITLE: Sophomores Bryan Sajjadi and Stephen Brown led their Dallas Texas club team to the U.S.Y.S.A. U-19 National Title in July. It is the third straight national championships for the duo as members of the Texans. Ironically, they defeated fellow Lobo Zach Tierney's Chicago Magic squad in the finals.
NINE ALL-MPSF HONOREES RETURN: Not only do the Lobos return nine starters in 2007, but they also have nine players who were honored on one of the MPSF's three all-league squads in 2006. Senior's David Gualdarama and Mike Graczyk and sophomore Simon Ejdemyr were first team selections in 2006. Returning from the second team are juniors Mike Porter and Chris Wright and sophomore Zach Tierney while third team honorees who are back from last year include senior Joey Vitagliano, junior Jack Smithson and sophomore Stephen Brown.
RECRUITING CLASS RANKED NO. 31: CollegeSoccerNews.com pegged the 2007 Lobo recruiting class as the 31st best in the nation. It is the fourth year in a row New Mexico has had its recruiting class in the top-40 by CollegeSoccerNews.com. Senior Diego Barrera, sophomores Charles Conway and Ryan Lytle and freshmen Ryan Farquharson, Joel Theissen and James Urbany make up the 2007 incoming class.
TWO ALL-AMERICANS READY FOR 2007: A pair of NSCAA High School/Youth All-Americans are ready for action after redshirtting the 2006 campaign. Freshman Michael Reed, the 2005 New Mexico Player of the Year, had a medical redshirt in 2006 after injuring his knee. He is still rehabbing the injury and could be ready for the season weekend of the regular season. Freshman Gardner Morrow also sat out last season, but the former Vermont Player of the Year is looking for a productive 2007 slate. Other redshirts who are ready to play this season include freshmen Eric Staver, Justin Fite, Dominique Romero and Andrew Parsons.

I upgraded the ti_build to the lastest SVN with other open source components staying untouched with 1.01 release.
1. I can play davincieffect_ntsc.264 with "filesrc ! TIViddec2"
2. I can not play net streams with " rtspsrc ! rtph264depay ! TIViddec2 ", this used to work fine before the SVN upgrade. I rolled back the ti_build to old version, it worked again. So it seems to be something in the latest SVN.
Any ideas? Thanks!
BTW, I am using DVSDK 2.00 and MVL5 (kernel 2.6.18, toolchain, etc) on DM6446 EVM , any compatibility issues here?
