[ , [ @table_owner_pattern = ] 'table_owner_pattern' ]
[ , [ @table_qualifier = ] 'table_qualifier' ]
[@table_name_pattern =] 'table_name_pattern'
Is the table used to return catalog information. table_name_pattern is nvarchar(384), with no default. Wildcard pattern matching is supported.
[@table_owner_pattern =] 'table_owner_pattern'
Is the table owner of the table used to return catalog information. table_owner_pattern is nvarchar(384), with a default of NULL. Wildcard pattern matching is supported. If the owner is not specified, the default table visibility rules of the underlying DBMS apply.
In Microsoft® SQL Server™, if the current user owns a table with the specified name, the columns of that table are returned. If owner is not specified and the current user does not own a table with the specified name, this procedure looks for a table with the specified table_name_pattern owned by the database owner. If one exists, the columns of that table are returned.
[@table_qualifier =] 'table_qualifier'
Is the name of the table qualifier. table_qualifier is sysname, with a default of NULL. Various DBMS products support three-part naming for tables (qualifier.owner.name). In SQL Server, this column represents the database name. In some products, it represents the server name of the table's database environment.
Return Code Values
Result Sets
|Column name
|Data type
|Table qualifier name. In SQL Server, this column represents the database name. This field can be NULL.
|Table owner name. This field always returns a value.
|Table name. This field always returns a value.
|Database username that has granted permissions on this TABLE_NAME to the listed GRANTEE. In SQL Server, this column is always the same as the TABLE_OWNER. This field always returns a value. Also, the GRANTOR column may be either the database owner (TABLE_OWNER) or a user to whom the database owner granted permission by using the WITH GRANT OPTION clause in the GRANT statement.
|Database username that has been granted permissions on this TABLE_NAME by the listed GRANTOR. In SQL Server, this column always includes a database user from the sysusers table. This field always returns a value.
|One of the available table permissions. Table permissions can be one of the following values (or other values supported by the data source when implementation is defined): SELECT = GRANTEE can retrieve data for one or more of the columns.
INSERT = GRANTEE can provide data for new rows for one or more of the columns.
UPDATE = GRANTEE can modify existing data for one or more of the columns.
DELETE = GRANTEE can remove rows from the table.
REFERENCES = GRANTEE can reference a column in a foreign table in a primary key/foreign key relationship. In SQL Server, primary key/foreign key relationships are defined with table constraints.
The scope of action given to the GRANTEE by a given table privilege is data source-dependent. For example, the UPDATE privilege may permit the GRANTEE to update all columns in a table on one data source and only those columns for which the GRANTOR has UPDATE privilege on another data source.
|Indicates whether or not the GRANTEE is permitted to grant permissions to other users (often referred to as "grant with grant" permission). Can be YES, NO, or NULL. An unknown (or NULL) value refers to a data source for which "grant with grant" is not applicable.
The sp_table_privileges stored procedure is equivalent to SQLTablePrivileges in ODBC. The results returned are ordered by TABLE_QUALIFIER, TABLE_OWNER, TABLE_NAME, and PRIVILEGE.
Execute permission default to public role.
This example returns privilege information about all tables with names beginning with the word sales, owned by a user with an owner name beginning with janet, from all servers with names beginning with the word LONDON.

Alabama men's basketball coach Anthony Grant declined to discuss the departures of guard Trevor Lacey or forward Devonta Pollard on Wednesday.
- Filed Under
After speaking about the "Alabama Defensive Identity" to a group high school coaches attending a clinic Wednesday at the Renaissance Convention Center in Montgomery, Alabama men's basketball coach Anthony Grant decided to walk the walk and implement his two-step defensive drill into his interview tactics.
When asked about the departures of former five-star recruits Trevor Lacey and Devonta Pollard, which leaves Alabama with just nine scholarship players, Grant chose not to address the issue.
"I'm really excited about the team we have for next year," Grant said. "I think we have some ...

designer nga sempé
portrait © designboom
for the ninth year in a row, the stockholm furniture and light fair presents an international guest of honor with the challenge of creating
a welcoming lounge within the event's west entrance hall. this year french designer inga sempé was selected to complete the task.
having visited the fair for the last eight years, sempé is delighted to have had the opportunity to tackle the entrance to the venue.
'in my opinion, this has often been a far too barren and open space, so I have now taken the opportunity to create a cozy,
comfortable and sheltered environment where you can really take a break and collect your thoughts for a while,' she says.
'as this is an egocentric exhibition, I have of course furnished it with my own classics – lights, sofas, chairs and maybe a few beds,'
the designer said of her lounge concept. 'the aim is for people to feel they are entering another world, a quiet,
relaxed oasis where you can recover for a while before heading back into the throng again with renewed energy.'

the installation from the outside appears as if a room has been placed in the middle of the entrance hall. the walls, made of light textiles,
offer a translucent appearance which gives visitors a little glimpse into the space before entering. within the airy structure,
sempé has created the feeling of a large, open space apartment, furnished with small and large chair, and sofa arrangements.
placed on various platforms, offering a heightened sense of space, these 'room scenarios' offer visitors a nice place to sit
and relax amidst the hustle and bustle of the busy fair.

on display within the lounge that is furnished with her most iconic designs,
is sempé's most recent lighting product 'w103s'
developed in collaboration with swedish
company wästberg. making its debut at the fair, the suspension lamp can be hung
as a single shade or in a combination.
they can be attached on a long rail for linear combinations, or on
smaller rails
where they can be joined together like meccano to create
polygons. the framework structure is thin enough to avoid the feeling of a
hanging object, the lines softened by the round shapes of the
shades. these are available in seven different tones – bright, soft,
clear, dark –
and can be arranged in any color combination.
two elements of the 'w103′ range sempé previously designed for the
company, are here used in suspended lamps.
the shades are identical, and
the hook of the clamp is moved to the top of the shade. this then
becomes the assembly piece of all of the
various shade combinations.

inga sempé (born 1968) works in paris. she graduated in 1993 from the les ateliers-ENSCI design school in paris.
she started her own studio in 2000 and, among other things, has created furniture, lighting and textiles for companies
such as ligne roset, moustache, domestic, luceplan, hjelle, cappellini, edra, david design, almedahls, wästberg, gärsnäs
and svenskt tenn.

Curtain call! Act One: Math is not my friend.
Of course not. It's now around noon, and guess how much I've gotten done? The tabs. That's it. And I did most of that last night. Actually, I'm kind of at negative work done on these curtains, because I basted the tabs onto the curtain fabric and have to remove them all. Turns out that the lining fabric I broke down and bought for them earlier this week is nearly 4" less wide than the curtain fabric. And of course, I based the tab measurements (which took me a good 30-45 minutes to figure out in the first place, since I had to keep shifting things around to get them about even) on the outer fabric. So now I have to not only rethink my entire method of construction in order to get the tabs even with the edges, but I'll have to do the spacing math again. Arrrrgh!
(And here tab-top curtains are supposed to be one of the simplest ones to make... I think I've officially decided that I do not like making curtains.)
So I'm taking a break as I write this to eat some lunch and regroup. Then it's back to trying to get as much work as possible done before I meet up with my best friend this evening to go see Alice in Wonderland.

Hmmmm... now you know why I do the whole curtain wire/ curtain clip thing from Ikea -- no tabs to plan for, just clip up some fabric. Well, good luck. No doubt the tab-top curtains will look great once all your math is done.ReplyDelete
Well, I think I've got it sorted now...I did finish one set yesterday. Have to sew the second on in their entirely, but at least I was able to get the east-facing windows curtained (read: block the morning light more!) Hoping to get the second window done this afternoon.ReplyDelete
Antoinette--that's exactly how I'll be doing the curtains that are to function as my closet doors. ;)
Comments will appear after moderation. Just trying to keep the spambots at bay.

Narnia Paper Dolls, Free Online
They find my blog as I had written about seeing a movie trailer and going to a Narnia promotional event at my public library back in December 2005. The library staff was giving away movie promotional materials and one thing we received was some paper dolls.
Recently while decluttering I came across these old papers from December 2005. I found the URL by seeing the website on the sheets that my kids had been given, and then I checked to see that the site is still available, and it is, so here is the link for the free Narnia paper dolls. These paper dolls are on the special website for promotional materials for the movie "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" which was released in theaters in December 2005.
You can print off these paper dolls, for free, from the Internet. I imagine the best thing to do would be to load your computer printer with cardstock paper and then to print them onto that. They are meant to be colored in by children. After your children color them you can cut them out and they can play with them.
If you are looking for a book that contains the paper dolls which is a more high-quality type product, I found this children's book online at Amazon. Presently, it shows as out-of-print with the least expensive copy selling for $90.09 through an Amazon Marketplace seller. The ISBN is 0694010782 and it shows that the book was published by Harper Collins and the author is C.S. Lewis with Mary Collier as a co-author.

Thanks for the link! The graphics are absolutely wonderful. I honestly couldn't imagine paying almost $100 for that book though LOL

I will guess that this book had about a $5 or even $3.99 full retail price on the book. The fact that a used bookseller is asking $90.09 for the book is, I think, one of those cases where the booksellers sees that the book is out of print, and hope that someone will want it so badly that they'll pay that high price for it. Since there is not a glut of those books on the market or at least on Amazon in the Marketplace section, the seller is gambling on what I will call a "sucker" coming along and make an easy, big profit.
Good for that seller if they can find a buyer for the book at that high price. Go for it.
(It does look like a fun book but $90 is way over my tipping point.)

The 555 is an integrated circuit (chip) implementing a variety of timer and multivibrator applications. The IC was designed and invented by Hans R. Camenzind. It was designed in 1970 and introduced in 1971 by Signetics (later acquired by Philips). The original name was the SE555/NE555 and was called "The IC Time Machine". It is still in wide use, thanks to its ease of use, low price and good stability. Even today, Samsung in Korea manufactures over 1 billion units per year (2003).
The 555 timer is one of the most popular and versatile integrated circuits ever produced. It includes 23 transistors, 2 diodes and 16 resistors on a silicon chip installed in an 8-pin mini dual-in-line package (DIP). The 556 is a 14-pin DIP that combines two 555s on a single chip. The 558 is a 16-pin DIP that combines four, slightly modified, 555s on a single chip (DIS & THR are connected internally, TR is falling edge sensitive instead of level sensitive). Also available are ultra-low power versions of the 555 such as the 7555. The 7555 requires slightly different wiring using fewer external components and less power.
The 555 has three operating modes:
The connection of the pins is as follows:
Using simply a capacitor and a resistor, the timing interval, i.e. the time during which the output stays low, can be adjusted to the need of the specific application. An example configuration is shown below:
The interval time t is given by
which is the time it takes to charge C to 63% of the applied voltage (exact figure: (1-1/e)V). See RC circuit for an explanation of this effect.
These specifications apply to the NE555. Other 555 timers can have better specifications depending on the grade (military, medical, etc).
Many pin-compatible variants, including CMOS versions, have been built by various companies. The 555 is also known under the following type numbers:

Pikeville Medical Center has announced plans to purchase property on the South Mayo Trail in Pikeville which includes the Landmark Inn and the building known as the Mark II.
President and CEO Walter E. May said the acquisition was necessary as the hospital is out-pacing expectations for growth and patient increases. "Even with the new Medical Office Building and parking garage set to open next year, our hospital is growing so fast it can be difficult to keep up," said May. "We're adding physicians and specialties very quickly, and it is in the best interest of our patients to ensure we have adequate space available when we need it."
The Landmark Inn will continue to operate as a hotel and restaurant under the leadership of owners Webby and Debbie Huffman.
Debbie Huffman said they are supportive of Pikeville Medical Center, and realize how valuable the property will be to the hospital. "We have always believed in the vision for Pikeville Medical Center to grow; the hospital provides wonderful care to our friends and families, and we want to make sure it will continue to do so," said Huffman. "We are glad to work closely with PMC to continue operating the Landmark for the time being, but we also realize the time may come when the hospital needs this space in order to continue doing such a good job for the people of the region. In the meantime, we hope all our loyal customers will continue to do business with us, and they will continue to receive the same great service we have always provided."

'Like' Button Follows Web Users - WSJ.comInternet users tap Facebook Inc.'s "Like" and Twitter Inc.'s "Tweet" buttons to share content with friends. But these tools also let their makers collect data about the websites people are visiting.
Facebook and other sites say they don't use the tools to track users.
These so-called social widgets, which appear atop stories on news sites or alongside products on retail sites, notify Facebook and Twitter that a person visited those sites even when users don't click on the buttons, according to a study done for The Wall Street Journal.
Retailers are trying to get customers to spend more than just time on Facebook - they want them to spend money, too. But with more and more data being gathered about users and their browsing patterns on sites like Facebook and Twitter, will consumers be leery of shopping on Facebook? Dana Mattioli joins to discuss.
These widgets are prolific. They have been added to millions of web pages in the past year. Facebook's buttons appear on a third of the world's 1,000 most-visited websites, according to the study. Buttons from Twitter and Google Inc. appear on 20% and 25% of those sites, respectively.
The widgets, which were created to make it easy to share content with friends and to help websites attract visitors, are a potentially powerful way to track Internet users. They could link users' browsing habits to their social-networking profile, which often contains their name.
It looks like spy agencies lol

Clover, a valuable group of plants of the legume (pea) family. The true clovers are plants with compound leavesusually with three leaflets, but occasionally having four or more. The flowers occur in small, dense clusters. Clover is either annual or perennial, depending on the species. It is excellent feed for grazing animals, since it has a high percentage of protein. It is used for pasture, hay, and silage.
The roots of clover contain colonies of bacteria that form small growths called nodules. Within the nodules, the bacteria combine atmospheric nitrogen with hydrogen to form ammonia and with oxygen to form nitrates. These substances are used by the clover plant to form proteins. This process is called nitrogen fixation. The clover plant does not use all of the nitrates and ammonia, and much is left to enrich the soil. Planting a crop of clover in a field can actually make the soil richer. Frequently the plants are plowed under to enrich the soil still morea practice known as "green manuring."The shamrock is a clover with leaves made up of three leaflets.
More than 300 species of clover are known, nearly all native to the north temperate zone. A few types are found in Australia, South Africa, and South America. There are several types of clover native to North America, but most of the cultivated varieties were introduced from Europe.
is the most widely grown meadow clover, and is also used for hay and as green manure. The plant is a perennial, reaching a height of two feet (60 cm). The leaflets may be notched at the tip and have a light-colored blotch or stripe. The flowers bloom in large, elongated rose-purple heads.
The bumblebee is the only known insect that can reach the deep-seated nectar cups of red clover. In its efforts to obtain the nectar the bee also pollinates the blossoms. This is necessary for seed production. For this reason, red clover introduced into Australia would not produce seed until bumblebees also were brought into the country.
is a low-growing perennial clover with rounded, white flower heads. The heart-shaped leaves have a horseshoe mark in the center. The plant, grown in pastures and lawns, is very common throughout the United States. Young plants are sold as "shamrocks" on Saint Patrick's Day. A larger variety of white clover, called Ladino, is useful in pastures.
resembles white clover except that it has pink flowers. It is well-adapted to a cool, moist climate and is much used for soil enrichment. It is a perennial that grows two feet (60 cm) tall.
is an annual grown for forage and soil improvement. The plant reaches a height of nearly three feet (90 cm). The flower heads are crimson and the leaves wedge-shaped and toothed.
Zigzag, or cow, clover is a short plant with zigzag stems. The flower heads are deep purple, but the leaves are not blotched like those of red clover. Berseem, or Egyptian, clover is grown in arid regions of the West and Southwest to improve the soil. It has white or yellow flower heads, and reaches a height of two feet (60 cm).
Several other plants of the legume family are called clover. Melilot, or sweet clover, is tall and bushy, with long, slender flower heads. Some kinds of alfalfa, especially the spotted medic, are called clover. Bush clover, or lespedeza, will thrive in poor soil. Prairie clovers are native to the West, and are sometimes grown in rock gardens.
The true clovers belong to the family Leguminosae, genus Trifolium. Red clover is T. pratense; white clover, T. repens; alsike clover, T. hybridum; crimson clover, T. incarnatum; berseem, T. alexandrinum; zigzag clover, T. medium.
Among clovers not belonging to the genus Trifolium are: sweet clover, Melilotus; bush clover, Lespedeza; and prairie clover, Petalostemon.

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters has made a bid for California roaster Diedrich Coffee. / File photo
One week after closing on a $157 million deal to buy a Canadian coffee roaster, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. is in a bidding war for a California roaster.
Green Mountain Coffee has offered $265 million in cash for Irvine, Calif.-based Diedrich Coffee Inc, or $32 a share.
Thats about $50 million more than Peets Coffee & Tea Inc. offered Nov. 2 for Diedrich in a cash-and-stock transaction valued at $26 per share, or approximately $213 million.
Peets Coffee, which is based in Emeryville, Calif., subsequently increased its stock and cash offer and Diedrichs board is weighing the offers.
In light of the different forms of consideration in the current Peets offer and the current GMCR offer, Diedrich Coffees Board is continuing to analyze the two offers to determine whether the GMCR offer continues to be a superior proposal, Diedrich Coffee said Tuesday in a written statement.
Green Mountain Coffee bought the wholesale and roasting operation of Toronto-based Timothys Coffees of the World Inc. on Nov. 13. Earlier this year, GMCR bought Seattle-based Tullys Coffee brand and wholesale coffee business for $40 million.
Diedrich Coffee, founded in 1972, is one of four roasters under license to produce K-Cups for the top selling single-serve Keurig brewing system, which is owned by Green Mountain Coffee. Diedrich markets three brands of specialty coffees: Diedrich Coffee, Coffee People and Gloria Jeans Coffees.
The CEOs of both Peets Coffee & Tea and Green Mountain Coffee issued statements saying their companys offer was superior.
Lawrence Blanford, president and CEO of Green Mountain Coffee, said in a written statement that GMCR remains firmly committed to this strategic combination with Diedrich.
We believe our revised offer constitutes a superior proposal to Peets ... as it provides Diedrich shareholders with a substantial all-cash premium as well as greater value and greater certainty and speed of closing, he said.
This transaction will build upon the success of GMCRs family of brands across North America and further advance GMCRs objective of becoming a leader in the highly fragmented and competitive coffee and coffee maker businesses, he said.
Further comment from Green Mountain Coffee could not be obtained. The Waterbury-based roaster referred calls to a newly hired, New York City-based public relations firm, which declined to comment on the pending transaction.

Delicious Vinyl presents Bizarre Ride II - THE PHARCYDE Live :: VENUE
Venue Nightclub
881 Granville Street
Blueprint LIVE & Delicious Vinyl present..
Bizarre Ride II - THE PHARCYDE - Live featuring Fatlip, Slimkid3 (Formerly of the Pharcyde), J. Sw!ft, L.A. Jay & Special guests
The band will be playing The Bizarre Ride ll Cd live from start to finish including the skits for their 20th Anniversary.
Perhaps the best way to describe this iconic hip hop group's journey was summed up by their first album title "Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde." In a way, it's everything you need to know about them – A unification of dynamic personalities, equally complex, unique and vibrant, taken on a strange musical journey that became forever inducted into hip hop history.
In the early 90's, when gangsta' rap consumed the airwaves, and the majority of West Coast rappers strapped on their Locs, Chuck Taylor's & Ben Davis', The Pharcyde decidedly maintained a willfully weird vision. Opting to stay true to themselves with their left field but still South-Central sensibility, rap had seen few groups so self-deprecating and so smart, a group of visionary rappers adroitly able to split the difference between helium-voiced and hard-core.
Listening to "Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde" two full decades after its release, its sense of timeliness is unmistakable. Every song on the album inverts a hoary hip-hop cliché. With classics like "Oh Shit," "Otha Fish", "Ya' Mama," and hit single, "Passing Me By," it is not surprising that it shipped over a million units, garnered comparisons to De La Soul and Tribe Called Quest, and everyone from Pitchfork Media to The Source has hailed it as one of the greatest albums ever made.
Speaking on the passage of time, their second release "LabCabInCalifornia" has revealed exactly how far-reaching The Pharcyde's vision was. From enlisting a young and then unknown James Yancey aka J DILLA to produce beats, the classic "Runnin" to collaborating with director Spike Jonze ("Being John Malkovich" "Adaptation") on the video for "Drop," it has consistently reinforced their steadfast refusal to tread familiar artistic grounds.
Today, The Pharcyde is still performing and touring the globe. They continue to hone their individual abilities yet carry on the name & legacy in its original fashion. They still seduce their audience with the same boyish charm that founded them at the beginning. Now, it's combined with the knowledge that has been bestowed upon them as men who have taken on, and rose to the challenge of the rap game. The end result of all this hard work is a band that's still influencing the hip hop artists and sounds crowding our radio waves today and will continue to for many years to come.
Keep it locked right here to stay updated on The CYDE!

Joe ESQ's: NFL Draft 2012 Top Ten Players & Rankings By Position
I found this pretty interesting.
Here are some of the points he argues and attempts to defend-
* Mark Barron (Alabama, S) is the best player in this draft
* Robert Griffin over Andrew Luck
* Devon Still #5 Overall Player, Best Defensive College Football Player in 2011-2012
* Vontaze Burfict #8 Overall Player, worth drafting
* Lamar Miller over Trent Richardson
Joes Top 10 Players Overall
The main complaint about my prior draft posts was that I was playing the result; using past drafts as examples, which anyone could do. While I disagree, with a week prior to the draft Im putting this out to let you know where I stand about this years prospects. Below is my top 10, with a short explanation regarding each. Below that are my rankings at each position, along with a few guys who are over/underrated. The baseline used for the over/underrated assessment is that general consensus between Mel Kiper and Todd McShay, who somehow manage to pretty much agree (within a spot or two on their lists) about practically everyone.
My lists are based on what I actually observed while these guys were in college; not combine numbers or Wonderlick scores, which I dont even pay attention to. Note that this is not a ranking of college players. This is a ranking of prospects based on their college performance and how I believe, based on observing those performances, they will perform on the next level. Note also that my list is based on quality, not importance of position.
Now, without further ado, heres this years list-
Unlike most of the experts, I dont believe this is a particularly strong draft. There isnt an offensive player as good as Can Newton or a defensive player as good as N. Suh. There may be more depth at some positions, however.
1. Mark Barron- S- Alabama
Safeties never get considered for the top pick, and Ive never understood why. First, its a hugely important position on defense. Its not a coincidence that the two best defenses over the last decade (Baltimore and Pitt) happen to have the two best safeties in football. Theres nobody who changes what an opposing offense tries to do more than Ed Reed. Second, elite safeties are difficult to find. Its not like running back, where you can stick some undrafted guy back there and it might work out, or wide receiver, where you can trade for or sign an elite guy any offseason if youre willing to spend money. The position requires not only athleticism, but smarts and a strong work ethic. You have to know opposing offenses well enough to read plays instantly. You cant just remember a play or focus on covering one person.
Barrons not as good as Ed Reed, particularly in coverage. (It should be noted that, in my opinion, no football player Ive ever seen is as good as Ed Reed.) Still, I see some similarities between the two. Both stood out while playing on great defenses. (Alabama and Miami). Both were the unquestioned leaders of their defenses. Both were great tacklers who could hit. Both would consistently prevent the big play, and both would make the game changing pick when their team needed it. Barron will instantly be one of the three or four best players at his position in the entire league. Hell make any defense hes on significantly better. Barron is the best player in this draft.
2. Robert Griffin- QB- Baylor
Griffin is an exceptional player. Although its tempted to credit his offenses success at Baylor to Art Briles system, I cant because fast defenses usually slow gimmicky offenses like Baylors, but none of the defenses Baylor faced were able to stop or really even slow Baylor last year. Griffins offense, which didnt include any other superstar players, lit up everyone. Not only that, but it did so while failing to turn the ball over. A low interception total can sometimes be overstated because it results from a QB being too conservative; throwing check-downs and out-of-bounds. That was not the case with Griffin. He threw few interceptions despite aggressively throwing the ball downfield, which is a testament to his accuracy and his ability to read defenses. His athleticism is a plus, but even without it Griffin would be a legit prospect.
3. Michael Floyd- WR- Notre Dame.
This was a tough call between Blackmon (No. 7) and Floyd. Blackmon was more consistent and productive in college, and that was not simply the result of playing in a better offense with a better quarterback. For that reason, I have no gripe with people who rate Blackmon higher. The reason I disagree has to do with sheer athleticism. Im not sure Ive ever seen a guy with greater athleticism at wide receiver (size, speed, strength, the ability to catch the ball over defenders) than Floyd. Hes right up there with Larry Fitzgerald and Calvin Johnson in that regard. Had we seen him playing with a better quarterback, I think his athleticism would have been even more noticeable. At his best, I think Floyd can be a better player than Blackmon and just about every other receiver in the league. Whether the best WR can be as valuable as a great QB or DT is a question best left for another day though.
4. Andrew Luck- QB- Stanford
Ive outlined some of my concerns with Luck in a previous post Joe ESQ Responds to Criticism and Say Andrew Luck is Overrated. The main one is the fact that Jim Harbaughs offense made Alex Smith look like an all-star, so how do we know it didnt do the same to Luck? Yeah, the guy looked great, but a lot of QBs look great when their team runs the ball well and allows most of their throws to come on play action. Can Luck consistently move the ball down the field when opposing teams know he has to? Can he read defenses well enough to avoid costly interceptions (like against USC in 11 and Cal in 09), and make progressions beyond his primary and check down receivers? I think he can. I just dont think its a sure thing.
Luck is extremely athletic. I was in the stands at the 2012 (2011 season) Orange Bowl. He had us in awe on one play in which he scrambled to the left and threw deep and accurate while getting hit and falling backward. Hes tall, fast and has a great arm. By all accounts, hes an intelligent guy. Stanford had more success with Luck than it had in years prior to his arrival.
5. Devon Still- DT- Penn St.
Still was the best player on the best defense in the country. I know, the stats say Alabama was the best, but there are a number of factors involved in that. Penn State played much better offenses than Alabama; its own offense was so terrible that it had to stay on the field way too much, usually in lousy field position; and the Sandusky scandal was one hell of a distraction late the year. The fact is that great offenses, offenses with above average offensive lines, couldnt run the ball or score on Penn State largely because of Still. He was a force. Hell continue to be a force on the next level. How a DT from a horrible Memphis defense is considered better than him is beyond me (Poe).
6. Justin Blackmon- WR- Oklahoma St.
Blackmon was unstoppable at Oklahoma State. Teams knew they were going to him, and they went to him anyway. Hes tall and fast; basically everything you want in a receiver. As stated above, I would have no gripe with him being ranked above Floyd.
7. Marvin Ingram- DE- S. Carolina
Ingram was a great DE, wreaking havoc on opposing offenses. I have two concerns with him though. First, playing with other good defensive lineman and a good defensive backfield tends to make a defensive end look better. Second, he was going against lousy offenses for the most part this year lines that couldnt block and QBs who didnt know what they were doing.
8. Vontaze Burfict- MLB- Arizona State
This is where my list really starts to drastically differ with those of the experts. Burfict didnt have a great season this year. He supposedly has character issues. What I know is, when healthy and motivated, Burfict was the most dominant player on the field. He was Ray Lewis-esq in that he was involved in every play. Sideline-to-sideline, at the line of scrimmage or 20 yards downfield; Burfeit was where the ball was wherever the ball was. I dont know his 40 team, but on the field hes fast. He hits like a freight train. He knows where the ball is going. He intimidates an opponent and makes them take notice of where he is. I think hes worth whatever risk comes with him.
9. Jenoris Jenkins- CB- North Alabama/Florida
Jenkins also may have character problems, but hes one hell of a cover corner. He was a key player on the 2008 UF national championship team that won the title with its defense. He more than held his own against A.J. Green and Jones, two other top-10 picks. He even played well in 2010 when the rest of his defense was terrible. If other people like Claiborne here instead, I wouldnt have much of a gripe. Id go with Jenkins though.
10. Lamar Miller- RB- Miami
Miller did have some nagging injuries this year, and as a result his numbers werent great. When healthy though, Millers the total package. Hes fast enough to outrun anyone, has patience and vision, and has the ability to break tackles and make people miss. Miamis offense was great with him and lousy without him, and he played his best games against the best defenses he faced. Trent Richardson was a better college running back, but he lacks the speed to do well in the pros, as he struggled against defenses like Penn St. and LSU. Theres a reason Saban replaced him in the title game once they passed midfield. Richardson looks like a mediocre pro RB at best..
* Joe ESQ Notes: I watched a few USC games, but never focused on Kahil, so Im not qualified to say whether and where he should be on this list
To say the least, I dont agree and I have to question the effort here.
Shock jock, NFL Draft style. Yawn.
So Luck's system is in question but RG3 is beyond reproach?
I am glad you are not the GM for the Indianapolis Colts.
Andrew Luck
still undefeated
Colts seems to have their drafting process in order right?
they aren't even a competitive team
I would have Kalil, Griffin over Luck however
in all seriousness Im happy some people are taking up for Luck, he's under a microscope moreso than RG3
Who are "Marvin Ingram" and "Jenoris Jenkins"?
It almost seems like it's your garbage you're trying to put out as somebody else's. Either way, these rankings are trash. Burfict isn't a good football player. And Mark Barron is in no way a better prospect than Andrew Luck, Michael Floyd, Justin Blackmon, or at least 20 other prospects.
Trent Richardson lacks the speed? The guy ran a 4.48. Marshawn Lynch ran a 4.46 while over 10 lbs. lighter. LeSean McCoy ran a 4.50 at 204 lbs. That's the most garbage excuse I've ever heard. Lamar Miller runs .08 seconds faster with much less weight on him, but T-Rich doesn't have enough speed?
Whoever wrote this either doesn't have a brain or is 12 years old.
Vontaze Burfict #8????? Again i will pull this sig out.
If for nothing but the Barron love I love this post. Barron's f'n nasty man...Any and every football coach on the planet would agree with it too. Just a well rounded, exceptionally experienced, and level headed prospect. Easily my favorite prospect in this draft. It's unfortunate the Jets won't draft him.
This is so confusing. Gotta be a joke right? Its gotta be. I stopped reading at Barron #1. Gotta be a joke.
What I know is that whomever wrote this doesn't understand tape evaluation or didn't do it.
I'm willing to believe that someone could have a weird board, but then to include a guy on "buts" and "ifs" (see Burfict) is kind of sad.
Worst "evaluation" I've ever read.
This reminds me so much of my attempts of evaluating players when I was in eight grade. Back when Byron Leftwich was easily a better QB than Carson Palmer and Jimmy Kennedy was the best player in the draft, according to 14 year old me. And don't get me started on Booger Kennedy.
Grandma is that you?
If in 2002, I had said that Ed Reed was the best prospect in the draft, you would have said:
And Ed Reed is in no way a better prospect than David Carr, Joey Harrington, Mike Williams or at least 20 other prospects Whoever wrote this either doesnt have a brain or is 12 years old.
I just dont understand responses like this and several of those above. I dont know with certainty who the best guys are. You don know with certainty who the best guys are. Nobody does. Ive given my opinion and a small description of the basis for it. If somebody wants to discuss a player, Im happy to expand on what I wrote above. Im sure there are legitimate reasons to disagree (and 40 times isnt one of them). But to just say that youre right and Im wrong is idiotic.
Fortunately, time will tell. Hopefully your as quick to post two years from now if youre wrong.

QUICK, tell the IT department! From now on, their job is going to be so much easier. In her book The Power is Within You, Louise Hay proposes a novel way to solve computer problems: "I remember a time when we were having many problems with our computer system, and every day something would break down. Because I believe machines reflect our consciousness, I realised that many of us were sending negative energy to the computers and we were expecting them to constantly break down. I had an affirmation programmed into the computer, 'Good Morning, how are you today? I work well when I am loved. I love you.' In the morning when everyone turned on their computers, that message would appear. It's amazing how we had no more problems with our computers."
Amazing indeed.

So I tried to install it manually, with my limited idea of how it should be done.
I downloaded the source package, and extracted it to the default package directory (Preferences->Browse packages), configured key bindings, but it doesn't do anything when I press CTRL+ALT+N (shortcut that navigates to new wiki page).
Am I missing some step(s) here?

Twenty-plus students gathered in three lines to go through warm-ups and punching and kicking routines. Third degree black belt of Okanogan Go Ju Ryu Roy Augustine walks around the students to check their form on each technique.
On this Thursday night, students from all levels and abilities gathered to have a group class for a change of pace. The new change of pace also came about when Augustine's Martial Arts moved from a 1,000 square foot studio to a space with about 3,000 square feet at 161 Madison St., Oneida. The new location was once home to End Rail Billiards.
Washing away purple and black painted walls, and cleaning carpets and rolling out new ones, helped put the finishing touches on the new studio.
Augustine and his wife Linda run the studio as a solid partnership that they said helps the studio run smoothly. While Linda runs much of the administrative side and organizing of events, Roy can focus on leading the students in class and helping each of the 50-plus students he oversees.
"She allows me to focus out here," Roy said of his wife. "If it wasn't for her we wouldn't have gotten into this new studio."
By day, Linda is a United States mail carrier and Roy works for the county in business services.
Roy started his discipline in martial arts in 1991 when Linda got a gift certificate to start lessons as a birthday present.
"I've always had an interest," he said. "I was hooked."
Hooked on the art itself was one thing, but Roy said he bases his studio's focus on respect, self-control, self-defense, physical fitness and integrity.
Although Roy has been studying martial arts for more than 18 years, he has only had his own students and martial arts studio for about two years.

Nicole Richie on the set of her new VH1 reality show, 'Candidly Nicole.' / Dan MacMedan, USA TODAY
LOS ANGELES - Nicole Richie is opening up more than ever in her new VH1 reality show, Candidly Nicole (premiering Thursday, 10 ET/PT). But here's what you won't see on TV.
Her children.
Richie, 32, a producer on the show, has drawn a line around her two young children, Harlow, 6, and Sparrow, 4, who you won't see - not even on Instagram. "They don't even like me sending pictures of them to their grandparents. They definitely wouldn't be happy with me sending it out to millions of people," she says. (Grandpa Lionel Richie, though, does make an appearance on the show.) Will she have more kids? "I didn't plan the first two, so I guess it's not really up to me, right?" she says. "Who knows?"
How Richie copes without husband Joel Madden when he's on the road.
"I'm really lucky. Joel has a twin brother (Benji), which is basically an extension of Joel," she says. Helping with the kids, "he's like Joel's arm."
How she's really a homebody.
"I'm home a lot," Richie says. "We started an edible garden last year, and we're growing all of our own fruits and vegetables at the house. That keeps me home a lot. We just got five chickens." So we quizzed her - what's in her garden? "I have apples, blueberries, kumquats, tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, kale, strawberries, rosemary, three lemon trees, two kinds of green beans, blood oranges, sage, oregano, basil, thyme, mint â?¦" she ticks off. OK, we're convinced.
How she's not always so fashionable.
While gardening, "I wear a fanny pack. Yes, I do! I wear a fanny pack - it's great. I can put my iPhone in there, and I keep my headphones on. I don't have any good sun hats, so I'm wearing Joel's crazy trucker hats."
How she's entering Gwyneth Paltrow/GOOP-like territory. Kind of.
"Ultimately, this will be a lifestyle brand," she says of her fashion company, House of Harlow 1960. "I pace myself, and I am very serious about anything that I do. We're about to launch (into home décor). We're launching candles this holiday (season) �This chapter is just about growing and raising my kids and being with my family. And working."

Carlock promotes
help for veterans
n Dennis Carlock of Tupelo, commander of the local American Legion post, was part of a Mississippi delegation in Washington, D.C. recently to lobby for veterans' health care funding.
He also urged Mississippi's congressmen to support other veterans issues pending before the 109th Congress.
"VA health care is a delayed cost of war, a small price to pay for the sacrifice of all who have sworn with their lives to protect our freedoms," Carlock said in Washington.
He also urged the Veterans Administration to rethink its strategy on how veterans pay for health care.
Mother, child still critical after fire
n ABERDEEN – Cassandra Armstrong and her daughter, Cailin Brown, 8, remain in critical condition in an Augusta, Ga., hospital from injuries sustained in a deadly February house fire.
Two of her other children died of their injuries – Caleasha Brown, 4, and 17-month-old sister Caliyha, according to Monroe County Coroner Alan Gurley.
The fire started when Armstrong attempted to use gasoline in the bathtub to kill lice, said Aberdeen Fire Chief Frank Gladney. The water heater's flame ignited with the fumes, causing an explosion.
Armstrong and the children were in the bathroom at the time of the explosion.
Pickering will face
opponent in November
n JACKSON – It appears U.S. Rep. Chip Pickering, R-Miss., will face a challenger in the general election, after all.
The secretary of state's office released a list of candidates on Wednesday, the qualifying deadline for this year's elections, but Jim Giles' name was omitted.
Giles, of Pearl, qualified to run in the Third Congressional District in January 2005, David Blount, spokesman for the secretary of state, said Thursday.
"This points out what we consider to be a quirk in the law. While there is a qualifying deadline that closes a qualifying period, there's no opening of the period," Blount said. "Generally, people who run for office in 2006, they qualify in 2006."
Giles will run as an independent against Pickering, who won election in 1996.
Party candidates qualify for elections by paying a fee, Blount said. Independents must get at least 200 signatures, he said.
Party primaries are June 6. The general election is Nov. 7.

They say letting a bull loose in a china shop is a recipe for disaster, so what happens when you double the number? What the Chinese Grand Prix proved, besides the fact that the Mercedes duo are still way out of anyone's reach, is that a second and equally intense rivalry is brewing in the Red Bull garages.
There isn't much to discuss when it comes to Lewis Hamilton. He was unbeatable today. So to0 was Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg who, after a poor start, proved that the W05 is as potent coming through the field as it is pounding out the laps in front. Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg's rivalry will be intense this season, there's no getting around that. This is a delicious treat for those who were missing the days of Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel battling it out in 2010.
Tastier still is the new Red Bull rivalry brewing between Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo who, after just four races, has proven to be Vettel's equal, and sometimes superior, in the new-for-2014 machinery.
This superiority was proven in a difficult qualifying session on Saturday where the Australian grabbed his second front-row start of the season, but it was all undone before the first corner of the race after a poor getaway.
"I started on the dirty side of the grid and had quite a poor getaway; I was spinning up on the line a bit too long and lost the two places," said Ricciardo of his start. He now had to contend with getting past Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel rather than just keeping them behind. This small mistake set the tone for his afternoon.
As is always the case in China, the front left tyre was the limiting factor in the race. The long-radius corners of turns 1,2 7,8 and 13 present huge challenges to the Pirelli rubber. Even with the more robust 2014 compounds, drivers were complaining of graining within the first 10 laps of the race. The driver's ability to work around this graining, and wait it out until the tyre comes back into its working range, was what helped or hindered strategy, for the line between a two- or three-stop strategy was not as clear-cut as predicted on Friday.
It was this blurring line between strategy calls that acted as the catalyst for most of the action during the race. Red Bull could see early on the Sebastian's tyre wear was worse than Daniel's. The world champion was in for his first stop as early as lap 12, while Daniel came in three laps later. The fact that Sebastian was running in clean air for his entire first stint, on account of Hamilton's huge lead, only substantiates Red Bull's claim of heavy tyre wear.
With Ricciardo backing up his impressive long run performance in FP2 to extend his first stint, Sebastian emerged right behind Fernando Alonso after his first stop, thus damaging his "tyre"s from the outset. This was the race's subtle turning point.
At this stage in the race, it was all about the eight second gap between Ricciardo and Vettel. The first inkling of what was to come came on lap 22 in the form of a radio message to Ricciardo informing the Australian of his pace relative to the other runners. He was, at that point, faster than both Alonso and Vettel. By a lot. The world champion was struggling massively and after just 10 laps on his medium tyres, he was already five seconds behind Alonso and under threat from the recovering Nico Rosberg. This played into Ricciardo's hands who showed up at the scene just as Rosberg made his move on Vettel. The Australian was consistently faster than his teammate as shown by the world feed: four tenths up on lap 19 and 20, a second on lap 21 and two seconds on lap 22.
Daniel knew about his speed and of Sebastian's troubles. It was just a matter of balancing his pace and Sebastian's lack of it. If he could afford waiting for Sebastian to come to him rather than him coming to his teammate, then he would. An attempt around the outside on turn one proved fruitless but gave a small glimpse of the amount of wiggle room with which Daniel was working. Sebastian's tyres were in such a state that any robust defense would send his tyres over the edge. By the end of lap 25, the radio message came through to Sebastian to let Daniel through.
Speaking after the race, Team Principal Christian Horner said: "After the second stop, it was apparent Seb's degradation was particularly worse than Daniel['s], so we looked at switching him to a three-stop and therefore released Daniel who was very much focused on a two-stop at that point."
In other words, Daniel was given priority. Sebastian's response to his team's request: "Tough luck". Here's the kicker, though. Sebastian never switched to a three-stop strategy. If I were him and relinquished a position for the sake of a better strategy, I sure would want to then execute said strategy. Nevertheless, Sebastian continued on at a much slower pace to Ricciardo's expecting to make three more stops.
Daniel finally made it past on lap 26 with an inside move through turn one. Now, Vettel's tyre struggles were clear, with his car slipping and sliding and wobbling as he put the power down. The world champion was now out of this fight. Over the next 30 laps, Sebastian lost 20 seconds to his teammate, eventually finishing the race a lonely fifth on the road.
If Vettel ever needed more motivation to get back on track in 2014, this was it, as was being passed by a Caterham. Sebastian never made a third stop, instead continuing on a normal two-stop strategy and suffering all the more for it. This isn't to say the team told the German he would be switching strategies just so he would get out of Daniel's way, but I wouldn't blame Sebastian for thinking so. Nevertheless, he was diplomatic in his post-race comments.
"I didn't understand as we were on the same tyre, unlike in Bahrain, so I double checked," he said of his initial response to the orders to let Ricciardo pass. "When the team said we were on a different strategy, I moved over and then, as the race went on, I saw more and more that I didn't have the pace. There was no point in holding Dan back." With no mention of his lack of three-stop strategy, one wonders what the next few races have in store.
Behind this fascinating intra-team battle, some great drives were had further down the field. Nico Hulkenberg was excellent as usual, finishing sixth for the fourth time in a row. Sergio Perez made it two Force Indias in the points after the Mexican started 16th, and Daniil Kvyat finished in the points for the third time in his four race career. Impressive stuff from the Russian rookie.
"I'm not yet where I want to be with the car," says Vettel of his early-season struggles. "But it's an on-going process. Hopefully at the next few races we will make some more steps in the right direction." No doubt his words ring true for many up and down the field. the job of catching the dominant Mercedes duo is becoming increasingly difficult. At least we know there are some exciting battles brewing at Red Bull to keep us satisfied.

TREMONT – Some say the best coaches keep their intensity no matter the score. They look for mistakes and correct them, and through those teachable moments the entire team gets better.
Itawamba AHS' Amanda Morrow watched her team jump out to a 32-2 first quarter lead at Tremont Thursday night, but she never quit coaching. Instead, she patiently looked for teachable moments in a team that looked nearly flawless early against the Eagles.
IAHS hit 75 percent of its shots in the first period, including four 3-pointers, to jump out to a huge lead and, eventually, a 72-23 victory.
The starters only played into the early part of the second, but in that short time junior Kim Mallory totaled a game-high 10 points to lead the Lady Indians to their third-straight win after postponing the season due to football playoffs.
"They were ready to play," Morrow said of her team after the game. "We have been waiting an extended period of time to play, and when the season got here this week, they have been fired up. We kind of got off to a slow start earlier in the week, but we are slowly getting back into our routine."
IAHS (3-0) scored on eight-straight possessions without a miss to begin the game as Mallory and Quay Dunn each notched a couple of buckets, while Haley Gates buried two 3-pointers.
The first miss came with 4:57 in the first when Laura Coker banged a 3-pointer off the rim that was immediately put back by Dunn.
The Lady Indians were leading 26-0 when Tremont's Lezlie Holland got her team on the board with a couple of free throws late in the quarter.
Most of IAHS' starters came out early in the second, but the depth of their bench was on display as Jamiya Hill, Constance Dunn and others came in and helped propel the Lady Indians to a 50-9 halftime lead.
Led by an 8-point effort by Taylor Ladewig, Tremont had trouble getting shots off all night as the Lady Eagles didn't have the firepower to keep up with what might be the most talented team they will face all season.
Gotta keep improving
With last season's close losses to eventual state champion and fellow Division 1-4A power Pontotoc and a playoff loss to Greenwood sure to still be fresh on their minds, the Lady Indians are not content with their current level of play.
"We are never going to be satisfied with where we are because there is always room for improvement," Morrow said. "We have some things to work on and to get better at. This is a process, and we are taking it one game at a time. We don't look forward, we just focus on the next task at hand and we are going to do the best we can and see where it leads us down the road."

The annual Baccalaureate ceremony is a sign that graduation is just days away for Hazard High School seniors.
"All the students, we are all like brothers and sisters, we're all close it is a family," said graduating senior Tommy Dixon.
"It means everything to me really. myself, I didn't think I was going to make it to high school."
The journey has been more challenging for some like Dixon , who was not always sure of where he was going to stay after leaving the classroom. It has already been announced that schools across the commonwealth will be receiving grants to help students deemed "homeless."
One Hazard High School senior who falls in that category will still be getting his diploma later this month. The student said there are some special people at the school who helped motivate him to get to this point.
Dixon said he has bounced around to four different high schools in two states to get to this point. He said he lived in Florida for a while with his uncle, who taught him a thing or two about how to better himself.
"He basically taught me to care about others, to care about myself," said Dixon.
After moving out of his parents home the first time, he moved in with his uncle who then re-located to Arizona. Dixon said he did not want to move there, so he came back to Kentucky to try and live with his parents. The 20 year old said he then realized he was not living in a positive environment and moved out of his parents home two years ago and decided to take matters into his own hands.
"It was a need, not a want, it was not worth living with her, she didn't care about her kids, really," said Dixon.
"Then I didn't care if I lived or anything anyways."
He said he was once drinking alcohol in excessive amounts which resulted in him going to jail. He said that encouraged him to turn his life around.
By the time he decided to re-enroll in high school he was left "homeless" by the federal definition, part 13 percent in the district.
Dixon said the people around him at Hazard High changed his life.
"If it weren't for the high school I would probably not be here," said Dixon.
"I still don't think I would be here if I still lived with my parents, I don't think I would graduate, I would be out walking the streets somewhere."
Dixon said his plan was to become an underground electrician. He said he has applied and will be attending Hazard Community and Technical College in the fall.
Dixon said he cannot wait to cross the stage on May 20.

A New Metaphor for LEED
We need to seize the moment, so that today's green edge is tomorrow's standard practice.
Successful sustainable design practice needs potent tools, ideas, products, and metaphors. The U.S. Green Building Council's LEED rating system is, without question, an extremely useful tool that embodies compelling sustainability ideas. As a product, LEED necessarily carries all the development and launch cycle attributes of other industrial or consumer "products," including research, investment, production, brand identity, cost, price, marketing, and obsolescence—all of which imply a production-line metaphor that constrains our thinking about what LEED is and what it can become.
Based on what you have seen and read about this project, how would you grade it? Use the stars below to indicate your assessment, five stars being the highest rating.
Those of us in the U.S. and Canada Green Building Councils who are responsible for the development and maintenance of LEED, in all its versions and revisions, have been thinking of the system as something akin to a machine of sorts. The design is frozen at a point and turned over to the production line, with never as many features as the R&D department or the consumer would like. Out of the factory comes the new version, without, we hope, too many built-in flaws that would force a consumer recall. The moment it is launched, it begins to become obsolete. The pressure is then on to develop the next version and to get it "right" this time, although LEED, as with any other product, may never be an exact fit for a given market segment. It is a game that we may never be able to win.
As the USGBC and its partners work through the development process for the next generation of LEED, I would like to propose an alternate, parallel metaphor for the rating system. I believe this will help us to envision what LEED can accomplish and how it might develop in the future.
I propose that we also think of LEED as a garden. Immediately the imagery it brings to mind is different from that of a production line. A garden produces and nurtures life. Gardens are not wild; they are constructed by humans on different scales and for many different purposes, including making money. Gardens can be meticulously planned from the beginning, starting with foundational elements, such as major plantings, and moving on to smaller plots and beds, or they can come about more spontaneously. Gardens have natural cycles of growth, harvest, and renewal. They grow and evolve over time, with some plants thriving, others having to be replaced, and all of them needing to be protected from pests and predators. Gardens depend on pollinators, the worker bees. Gardening can be hard work, but it is also restorative. Gardeners come in all shapes and sizes, with many different motivations.
In the LEED garden, we should expend some effort in getting the foundational elements right (sustainability, climate change, and biodiversity, for example) so that we don't have to bring in heavy equipment to move them around in the future. We are not striving for a monoculture, but for a mix of different species and crops suited to different climates, needs, and tastes that mature at different seasons. We needn't seek perfection in every part of LEED all at once, but we can think about nurturing what thrives, replacing what doesn't, and increasing yields constantly over time. Finally, all of us green building council members can start thinking of ourselves not as workers feeding the machine but as pollinators who are essential to maintaining the health and productivity of the LEED and sustainability gardens.
Feel free to take this seed of an idea and nurture it in your own way. Call on other gardeners to help. LEED can become a robust, organic, productive, profitable, and restorative garden for the benefit of us all in our pursuit of a sustainable built environment.
