Gardens shaded by trees and buildings are increasingly common as gardens get smaller. Although though north- or east-facing gardens can be cool and shady for much of the year, they can present some creative opportunities with well-chosen shade-tolerant plants.
Six really robust plants for shade:
Hypericum 'Hidcote'Mahonia × media 'Charity' Prunus laurocerasus 'Otto Luyken' AGM Sarcococca hookeriana var. humilis Viburnum × hilleri 'Winton' Vinca minor 'Atropurpurea' AGM
Walls and buildings cast consistent shade and may not necessarily rob the soil of moisture, to the same extent as the demanding conditions beneath trees.
To grow healthy plants in shady areas, it is important to identify the degree of shade that a plant needs or will tolerate. Few shrubs will thrive where shade is very dense, particularly when coupled with a dry impoverished soil.
RHS The Garden 'Dry Shade' Dec 2014' by Jenny Bowden
Planting the Dry Shade Garden: The Best Plants for the Toughest Spot in Your Garden, by Graham Rice (Timber Press, 2011, ISBN 9781604691870)Gardeners' World: 101 Shade-Loving Plants by James Wickham (Random House & Ebury Publishing, 2008, ISBN 9781846074509)
These books are also made available through the RHS Lindley Library.
Very close to walls, conditions can be dry, especially if sheltered from the prevailing wind or under the eaves of buildings, so planting 30cm (1ft) away from house walls can help. The most difficult situations are found under conifers where it is dry and sheltered in summer and winter, often with dead needles and debris creating acidic conditions.
If you are looking for plants for under trees, see our web page Planting under Trees, since the challenges can be different.
In shady conditions where the soil doesn't dry out completely in summer, the range of shrubs, perennials, including grasses, and ferns, is surprisingly wide. Spring and some summer flowering bulbs can extend the season. The addition of plenty of well-rotted farmyard manure, garden compost or leaf mould will help improve soil structure and aid establishment of plants.
Mulching after planting improves water retention, and combined with autumn rather than spring planting, allows some plants to establish more effectively over winter.
The main season for colour from shade-tolerant plants is spring when, in their native habitats, the plants would bloom before the woodland canopy darkens the understory. The majority of summer interest comes from leaf shape, texture and foliage colour. A wide range of plants tolerating shade can be found at RHS Find a Plant. Below are some others.
This is a small selection. Other cultivars of the following plants are available and will also tolerate shade.

If conditions are excessively dry, use pots to grow plants in moist, well watered soil. Use a John Innes No 3 compost. Any of the above plants can be grown in containers.
Enliven pots with a mixture of seasonal bedding such as Impatiens, Begonia, winter-flowering pansy and polyanthus (all reliable in shade). Zantedeschia (arum lily), though often tender, looks dramatic against an evergreen backdrop and can be overwintered under glass.
Redcurrants, whitecurrants and gooseberries, as well as fruit such as raspberries, blackcurrants and rhubarb which originate from woodland edges will produce reasonable crops in some shade.
Apples, pears and plums prefer a more open position, but cooking apples can tolerate a partially shaded position. Morello cherries are also productive on a shady wall.
Beetroot, chard, kale, kohl rabi and lettuce are all relatively tolerant of some shade, but sowing seeds in modules in bright conditions and then transplanting will get them off to an early start with an established root system.

Hi. I'm new to this site but saw comment from deborahallen. I've found a climbing hydrangea is good for a north wall. Lots of nice, white lacecap flowers. Takes a couple of years to get going but worth the wait.

I also have a wall like this and a few years ago planted a Chaenomeles (Japanese quince) against it. It took a while to get going but it has clothed the wall beautifully. It grows nice and flat against the wall and you can prune out any wayward shoots. It will need horizontal wires to tie it into until it becomes established. It has lovely, vivid orange flowers from about February to early summer and is as tough as old boots. I never water or feed it, just tidy it up now and again. You also get small fruits in late summer and autumn but I'm not sure whether they are edible.

Shady Climbers - any ideas gratefully received! I have a very un-sunny spot against my house (north facing) where most things struggle to grow. I have tried looking up woodland climbers and suggestions have been honeysuckle (tried this and was too susceptible to mildew) not keen to put Ivy up the wall which was the other suggestion. I've had a few Clematis but they get chomped by snails so keen to move away from that too. Does anyone have any suggestions would thrive in such shady conditions but snail repellant? Many thanks

Hippies galore
We found this place on accident while walking around Chinatown. It was down a little side street and there were so many people walking and riding bicycles that you probably couldn't drive your car down there even if you wanted to. There were some interesting shops, such as Roach-A-Rama, where we ran, literally, into Woody Harrelson. He was on his way out as we were coming inside.
The best place was this little cafe on the corner of Augusta and Baldwin called Louie's coffee shop. The entrance was a broken wooden door painted white with Cafe Entrance scrawled in black marker across it. There was a very small counter where we ordered drinks and a wrap-around counter that was open to the outside for people to sit and watch the hordes. It was very cool.

Saturday People Watching in Kensington Market
Located just to the west of Chinatown, Kensington Market is one of the best neighbourhoods to visit, and one of the most accessible. Being on the radar of both locals and tourists alike, it is surprisingly not that busy most of the time. The time that it is busy is on Saturday.
The market has three cheese shops, some butcher shops, at least four fishmongers (Caribbean or Portuguese), stores specializing in dried goods (nuts and legumes), an entire block of vintage clothing shops and numerous eateries.
Saturday the market is jammed with people, and only the truly masochistic would attempt to drive here (though some do, amazingly). To best experience it, come on a sunny day (always the busiest and you'll be outdoors) and bring an empty stomach. The food is dirt cheap and you'll gorge yourself, disgorge, and gorge again for $20.
Grab a hot Trinidadian double, homemade ginger beer and killer baked goods at Patty King. Visit a latin grocer, head to the back and get a couple of pupusas. Segovia Meats has the best sausages in the city – take some with you for a barbeque.
Stop at Casa Acoreana and smell the place. They have a coffee shop next door, which is the second best place in the market for people-watching. The best is along the outside wall of the store, where after a couple of years of just me sitting there on the one lonely chair they've now got a whole row of them. Bring your food from wherever – they don't care. You can sit there for hours, and if the weather's nice you probably should.

To see and to be seen
Like I already said, Kensington Market is a great place for watching people and to be 'seen' yourself. You can find some excentric looking people walking on the streets. And the best place to do this is at Louie's Kaffee. It's on a corner in the heart of Kensington Market, you can't miss it! There are benches and barstools outside of the shop. All the windows are open... actually.... they are not there at all. So when you are inside, it's almost like being outside and you have a great view over the street. And it's also visa versa, you can just order your coffee from your barstool outside at the lady at the counter, it's as easy as that.
AND they serve a great cup of cappucino as well!!! I loved it here so much, sitting outside in the sun, watching the people walking by, hearing all different languages around me and having a great cup of cappucino. I sat there for quite a while, enjoying every minute of it. And I wasn't the only one, hahaha, some I saw still sitting there a few hours later :-)

Fresh fruit.... and a touch of Christmas :-)
Just like in Chinatown there are lots of fruitstands and shops in Kensington Market, yummie! Hahaha, this one was funny though as it still had some christmas lights and decorations hanging in the store..... and it's May!!! Hahaha, only something like that can happen in Kensington Market :-)))

Super models?
When you are walking around in Kensington Market don't forget to look around you, not only on the streets, but also look up once in a while. You'll be surprised what kind of funny details you will see. Maybe you can spot some of these super models posing on the balcony above one of the shops.

Vintage clothing
There are lots of shops in Kensington Market that sell vintage clothing. I think the beauty of these shops is that they are all in the old Victorian Houses of this neighbourhood and don't look like a 'real' store at all.

Victorian houses in Kensington market
Everywhere in Kensington Market you can find these colourful Victorian Houses. These type of houses are not only restricted to Kensington Market, but you find them as well in the adjecent neighbourhoods.
But of course in this 'bohemian' like neighbourhood the houses are painted a bit more colourful than the rest of the area :-)

Wander around in Kensington Market
To the west of Chinatown you can find Kensington Market. A totally different area but so much fun to visit! You have to go here on a beautiful sunny day, I think a Saturday would be best for a visit.
There are dozens of tiny shops and produce stands hidden in the labyrinth of little streets. Lots of people walking around shopping, relaxing, enjoying the beautiful summers day and also to watch other people or to 'be seen' themselves. It's amazing how many different cultures and characters are mixed together in this little neighbourhood of Toronto.

Spring time in Toronto
The spring is an excellent time to visit Toronto, it has been my favorite season so far to go here. Of course there is more chance of a rainy day in this time of the year, but when the sun starts to shine it's so wonderful to walk around in Toronto. All the people seem to enjoy that the winter is over and are in a good mood. Everyone seems to escape their houses after a long winter and walk around leasurely in the city. Enjoying the nice weather and wearing their summer clothes, even if it's not warm enough for that yet, LOL. But no one seems to be bothered by that and enjoys the beautiful sunshine. And Kensington Market, in my opinion, really reflects that feeling at this wonderful time of the year.
The temperatures can be surprisingly warm in the spring (but be aware that it can be quite cool also). In the summer it can get hot and sticky and no one seems to enjoy walking around in Toronto that much. Hahaha, no need to tell you about the winter... brrrr. way too cold to be here, and there's nothing to see and do on the streets at that time of the year.

Streetartist in Kensington Market
And in a neighbourhood like this it is obvious there are some streetartists giving some entertainment to the leisurely walking crowds on the streets of Kensington Market. You have to take your time in Kensington Market, don't hurry, relax and enjoy and take in everything around you. That's the only way you can enjoy this area of Toronto to the fullest. In a way it reminded me of some parts of Amsterdam, hahaha, but on a much smaller scale of course :-)

Antique shopping in Kensington Market
I've been in doubt wether to put this tip under must sees or shopping, but I decided for the must see activity this time. I think this is what makes "Kensington Market" to what it is, a neighbourhood with a lot of atmosphere and bohemian feel. The antique shops add to this feel and you can see quite a few of them around. I took this photo through the window of an antique store and this woman was totaly taken but the old tv :-)

Kensington Market
This neighbourhood has been home and gathering place for waves of immigrants for over a century. There are still stores and synagogues here here from the time when it was a predominantly Jewish neighbourhood. Now you can find Arab, African, Caribbean, and Latin American foods and goods. And there are lots of second-hand clothing shops. The area is also one centre for the artistic community of the city.
Visit the Kensington Market
This is a great place to discover the true culture of the city. The market is an ecletic mix of cultures.
Good description from the Toronto's website:
During the 1920s, 80% of Toronto's Jewish population lived in Kensington. Many had bolted down pushcarts in front of their homes to sell a variety of goods. Business began to spill onto the lawns, then grew to their porches, and eventually onto the main floor of many of the houses. 'The Jewish Market' was born. As the city developed, new immigrants arrived. Most of the Jewish merchants move out and were replaced by Portuguese, West Indians, and other ethnic groups.
Picturesque Kensington Market is indeed a maze of narrow streets, some of which are lined with vibrant turquoise, aqua and traditional red-and-white houses. You are surrounded by a cacophony of sounds; music ranging from reggae to Latin American, the proud shopkeepers trying to entice visitors, and bargain hunters haggling. What looks like a chaotic street bazaar is actually an enjoyable experience, perhaps the best example of Toronto's culturally-diverse harmony.
funky area
Kensington is a great area, all kinds of cool shops, markets selling produce and restaurants and coffee shops, Awesome people watching too.
Pedestrian Sunday
As if you need any excuse to shop, Kensington market a few times a year closes off its street to motorised vehicles and puts on a street fesitival.

The old adage that there's never enough hours in the day just doesn't cut it anymore, mostly thanks to Beyoncé, who has perhaps unknowingly replaced the pessimistic mindset with something slightly more ambitious: much to your disbelief, we mere mortals have the same 24 hours in a day as Queen B.
Like us, Solange Knowles is privy to the same cynical habit—and like us, she continues to use her big sister as continuous motivation. The mother of one confessed in May's ASOS Magazine: "Now that she's become a mother, the way that she's able to balance that is so inspiring. If I am ever feeling like I want to open up my mouth and complain about how hard I'm working, I think, 'Uhhh! Sit down!'"
This admission comes just a day after Beyoncé was unveiled as the cover figure for Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People issue. So, the truth is out: 24 hours makes just enough time for world domination.

After all, from what we saw of Hoppy on TV, he seemed so, well, chill, and like a doting husband and father. Frankel, on the other hand, was a whirling dervish with her Skinnygirl empire and her zillion TV shows and her (let's face it) kind of abrasive personality.

Subaru Other
1992 subaru loyale with 134232 miles. I have recently inherited this car. The old owner recently had timing belt and water pump replaced, in addition to replacing the plugs, wires, air filter, rotor, distributor, and he told me that the injecters have just been cleaned. Nothing done to fuel filter or fuel pump. Car appearred to be running fine until the recent cold weather, I have had the car for about 4 days. When starting the car, the car will quickly stall and then after two or three tries it will keep running. The car hesitates and back fires before stalling out if I press on gas pedal sharply. If I ease on the gas pedal it will slightly hesitate but stay running. This problem seems to stop once car is fully warmed up or if I am driving at a steady speed. Do you have any suggestions

Definitly have the fuel pump checked for pressure. Its the check engine light on? Have the PCM scanned, could be the coolant temp sensor or the Mass Airflow Meter if so equipped

And always seeck to determine the root cause of faillure to prevent repeated problems. An example is a fuel pump that fails due to debris in the fuel tank. Replacing the pump may correct the driveability problem, but the root cause of the pump failure was the dirt in the fuel tank.

blower motor keeps blowing fuses
February 12, 2010.
February 12, 2010.
If a fuse keeps blowing, it usually means something is faulty in the circuit. The wiring should be checked along with the components in the circuit to determine if there's a short or other problem. If a fuse blows in a motor circuit (heater blower motor, cooling fan motor, power seat or window, electric fuel pump, etc.), It often indicates a shorted motor. In your case, I would suspect a faulty blower motor.

This season and this finale: one last thing to ponder...

Re: This season and this finale: one last thing to ponder...
I will respond with another question:
What is this show about? Is it the story of a mysterious island? Is it about the age-old struggle between MiB and Jacob? Or is it the survivors of a plane crash?
For me, even though we've been introduced to a lot of new characters and new mysteries over the last 6 years, the story of LOST is, first and foremost, about the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815. I want to see what happens to
. That isn't to say that the Lost universe doesn't have more stories to tell, but
this story
is about the characters that we met in Season 1...and Desmond.
I would love it, however, if the creators someday do a series of "Lost Tales" (pun intended), that explore some of the Island's greater mysteries.
I am the Quintessential Admiral.

Product Description
This Lapbook Journal is designed for students in grades 6-12, and includes both a study guide as well as pre-printed lapbook pages in bound book format. The included state-specific study guide provides background material, historical notes, and other factual information; students will explore state symbols, songs and landmarks, famous people, geographical regions, timelines of historical events, and more. Parents should note that this study guide is identical to the study guide in the sold-separately lapbooks (which are designed for children in Grades K-8) so that parents can cover the information once with students of all ages.
Six lapbook booklets, journal pages, and report pages are provided. The lapbook booklets may be either glued to the last two pages, or, students may also choose to not complete the booklets, but rather incorporate the information in the final state report. Students will complete booklets and journal pages with information on the state's populations and borders, state symbols, elected officials, natural wonders or state monuments, and more.
There's no need to use up printer supplies with this pre-printed laptop resource; simply cut out and assemble, and you're ready to write. This book contains a study guide, journal pages (white paper), and lapbook booklet pages (bright colored paper) in a single book; the lapbook and journal pages are designed to be cut out and glued to the back two pages of the book. Consumable, non-reproducible resource.

What's the easiest way to get the filename associated with an open HANDLE in Win32?
There is a correct (although undocumented) way to do this on Windows XP which also works with directories -- the same method GetFinalPathNameByHandle uses on Windows Vista and later.
Here are the eneded declarations. Some of these are already in
Here's the core function:
and here's an example usage:
I tried the code posted by Mehrdad here. It works, but with limitations:
I also studied other approaches like
So I wrote my own code. I tested it on Win XP and on Win 7. It works perfectly.
NOTE: You do NOT need any additional LIB file to compile this code!
edit Thanks for the comments about this being Vista or Server 2008 only. I missed that in the page. Guess I should have read the whole article ;)
It looks like you can use GetFileInformationByHandleEx() to get this information.
You'll likely want to do something like:
Double check the MSDN page to make sure I haven't misled you too badly :)
FWIW, here's the same solution from the MSDN article suggested by Prakash in Python using the wonderful ctypes:
If you need to do this on Win32 pre-Vista or Server 2008, look at the
Also, on Win32, you cannot really delete a file that is open (the open/unlink issue mentioned on another answer) - you can mark it for deletion on close, but it will still hang around until its last open handle is closed. Dunno if mapping (via
-=- James.
On unixes there is no real way of reliably doing this. In unix with the traditional unix filesystem, you can open a file and then unlink it (remove its entry from the directory) and use it, at which point the name isn't stored anywhere. In addition, because a file may have multiple hardlinks into the filesystem, each of the names are equivalent, so once you've got just the open handle it wouldn't be clear which filename you should map back towards.
So, you may be able to do this on Win32 using the other answers, but should you ever need to port the application to a unix enviornment, you'll be out of luck. My advice to you is to refactor your program, if possible, so that you don't need the OS to be able to maintain an open resource to filename connection.

Oh hello there, LG VS930. This handset -- which was caught in the wild by Mr. Blurrycam's cousin, Ms. Quickiecam -- looks an awful lot like an Optimus LTE II for Verizon. This makes even more sense when you consider that its predecessor, the VS920 aka. Spectrum, recently received end-of-life status. According to the anonymous tipster who sent us these pictures, the phone will ship with the following features:
- Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
- 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 SoC
- 4.7-inch "True HD IPS" display (1280 x 720 pixels)
- 16GB of built-in storage
- Global radio support (GSM/UMTS/CDMA/LTE)
- NFC (it comes with programmable tags)
There's no word on whether the VS930 will inherit the Optimus LTE II's
2GB of RAM [see update below] or the VS920's branding -- Spectrum 2 perhaps? We'll keep you posted when we find out more, like pricing and availability. In the meantime, take a look at the gallery below for some closer shots.%Gallery-160134%
Update: More information is coming to light about the VS930, including a possible July 13th launch and the service manual (PDF link), which contains a ton of photos and information. The 9.2mm (0.36-inches) thick handset features 1GB of RAM and an 8-megapixel autofocus camera.

Yields on 10-year U.S. Treasurys currently reside at 2.48
percent, a significant jump from the 2.13 percent offered by
Uncle Sam's debt on June 3.
Rising yields on what is generally considered a risk-free
asset could affect some wildly popular dividend
. It is common sense. Why take on equity risk, now matter how
benign, with an ETF that only yields between 2.2 and 2.3 percent
when less risky Treasurys yield more?
Investors that want to remain in dividend ETFs over Treasurys
due have options when it comes to finding funds
with decent yields
and superior performance compared to the largest dividend ETFs. A
new kid on the dividend ETF block gives investors another
The FlexShares Quality Dividend Defensive ETF (NYSE:
) debuted in December as
part of a three-ETF suite of dividend
. QDEF aims to "target a beta lower than the Parent Index
(Northern Trust 1250) and improve on the Parent Index's dividend
yield," according to Flex Shares, the ETF unit of Northern Trust
In the six months since its debut, QDEF has accumulated almost
$23 million in assets under management while returning 13
percent. That performance is slightly better than that of the
larger Vanguard High Yield Dividend ETF (NYSE:
) and well ahead of the $12 billion iShares Dow Jones Select
Dividend Index Fund (NYSE:
), which is up nearly 10 percent over the same time.
Since inception, QDEF's underlying index has outperformed
DVY's index by 330 basis points
through the end of May
QDEF has a 30-day SEC yield of 2.74 percent and a distribution
yield of 3.41 percent,
according to issuer data
. Obviously, both of those numbers are better than what 10-year
Treasurys offer. To be fair to the other ETFs, QDEF's 30-day SEC
yield is trails both DVY and VYM.
That does not mean the new ETF is not worthy of consideration
in the current market environment. The opposite is true. QDEF's
sector weights highlight why the fund could be profitable for
investors if interest rates rise. The ETF allocates less than
10.2 percent of its combined weight to rate-sensitive telecom and
utilities stocks. DVY and VYM allocate 31 percent and 13.4
percent, respectively, to those sectors.
QDEF also offers robust weights to sectors that will be
important drivers of future dividend growth,
including financial services and technology
. Those sectors combine for nearly a third of QDEF's weight. VYM
is not bad on that front with a 22.8 percent combined weight to
those sectors, but DVY devotes a mere 14.3 percent combined to
financials and technology.
QDEF's top-10 holdings include seven Dow stocks with
Wells-Fargo (NYSE:
), Altria (NYSE:
) and Conoco-Phillips (NYSE:
) the outliers. Exxon Mobil (NYSE:
) is the fund's largest holding with a weight of just over five
In the near-term, QDEF is a viable option for investors that
want to be involved in dividend stocks even if Treasury yields.
Over the long-term, the new ETF's exposure to sectors that will
generate future dividend growth (financials and tech) along with
a combined 23.3 percent weight to staples and energy, two groups
with impressive track records of payout increases, should serve
investors well.
What QDEF will need to separate itself from the dividend ETF
pack is outperform funds such as VYM because that fund only
charges 0.1 percent a year compared to 0.37 percent for QDEF.

Cipollini announces retirement
Mario Cipollini is to quit cycling, citing his bitterness at not being invited to the Tour de France as one of the reasons.
In a statement on his official website, he said: "The bitterness of not being able to compete for victory . . . leads me to take this drastic decision to say enough with cycling."
The announcement comes despite the fact that the 35-year-old has had one of his most successful ever seasons.
He won six stages of the Giro d'Italia, the Milan-San Remo classic and the Gand-Wevelgem race.
Cipollini said he would hold a news conference over the next few days to explain the decision.
It was not clear if Cipollini planned to retire immediately or after the racing season.

HENDERSON (August 13, 2014) A member of a mowing crew died Tuesday in a natural gas explosion while clearing a pipeline right of way when some brush-clearing equipment ruptured the line.
The Rusk County Sheriff's Office on didn't immediately release the victim's name Wednesday.
Sgt. David Roberts says there was no fire in the accident late Tuesday afternoon in a rural area about 12 miles southeast of Henderson.
Roberts says the man was using a mulcher to clear the pipeline right of way when he hit the line, causing an explosion and gas leak.
Another worker called for help.
The gas flow was cut off.
Residents within a mile of the site were evacuated, but allowed to return home Tuesday night.
Roberts had no immediate details on the operator of the line.

SBDC advisor gets national recognition as 'Star Performer'
"Selfless" is one word supervisors use for Lisa Barr, senior business advisor for the University of Houston-Victoria Small Business Development Center. SBDCs around the nation help the economic development gears turn by counseling small businesses, and Barr recently was honored for her outstanding year.
Barr found out last week she was the South-West Texas Border Small Business Development Center's "Star Performer," standing out among competition with peers from much larger markets. She will be one of about 60 people from the U.S. and its territories recognized as a Star Performer in September at the Association of Small Business Development Centers National Conference in San Diego. Texas is divided into four regions.
"This accomplishment says a lot," said Mary Peters, associate director of the South-West Texas Border SBDC. "She competed against many seasoned, high-performing advisors. But her performance last fiscal year was so strong that she was the clear winner."
Barr is part of a team that counsels small businesses in 11 Coastal Bend counties on matters including getting started, identifying opportunities, addressing problems, accessing capital and planning. Barr's standout year included 1,241 hours of consulting effort which resulted in:
"She is a brilliant, selfless young lady who is committed to what she does," Peters said. "Younger representatives can experience a challenge in earning the confidence of clients, but Lisa has a maturity beyond her years."
Barr is praised as a "servant leader" by her peers, Peters said. She teamed with two other business advisors from the region to develop a how-to plan to advise a growing niche market – medical professionals who own and operate their own business.
Barr has worked at the SBDC since 2007 and recently completed her Master of Science in Economic Development and Entrepreneurship from the UHV School of Business Administration. She said it is rewarding to assist clients and help them succeed in their business.
"I enjoy helping people and getting them going in the right direction," Barr said. "We work with clients on how they might market themselves differently or look into advertising to a different customer market and where to generate different revenue streams. It is rewarding when we make the right call for them and they are a success."
Barr said the SBDC staff does research into what is working for small businesses and how their local clients might benefit.
"We look at consumer trends, demographics, what kinds of customers are in our clients' service area and the feasibility of their business model and plans," she said. "Of course, every decision ultimately is the client's, but it feels good to suggest the right thing to them, especially with the challenges in the economy right now."
Thanks to Barr's award, the UHV SBDC office will receive a $1,000 as a scholarship to assist with costs for Barr to attend the ASBDC National Conference.
SBDC offices around the state are supported by state and federal funds. Texas is one of the most supportive states for small business, providing two-thirds of SBDC funding, Barr said. SBDC assistance returns tax revenues back to the state and federal governments and adds value to its clients via capital investments, jobs created and retained, and business growth
According to an independent study by James Chrisman, for every dollar invested in the South-West Texas Border SBDC, a return of $5.78 is generated.
For more information about the UHV SBDC, call 361-575-8944 or visit http://sbdc.uhv.edu/.
The University of Houston-Victoria, located in the heart of the Coastal Bend region, offers courses leading to more than 65 bachelor's and master's degree
programs and concentrations in the schools of Arts & Sciences, Business Administration, Education & Human Development, and Nursing. UHV provides face-to-face
classes at its Victoria campus as well as teaching sites in Fort Bend and Harris counties, and online classes that students can take from anywhere. Since its
founding in 1973, UHV has provided students with a quality university education from excellent faculty at an affordable price.

SKOKIE, Ill., Jan. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SS&G is pleased to announce its merger with Silver, Lerner, Schwartz & Fertel (SLSF), a professional accounting and business planning firm serving the Chicago metropolitan area.
The merger adds 45 professionals, doubling its number in the Chicagoland market.
SS&G's roster now surpasses 500 professionals for the first time in its history. The addition marks the third merger in the Chicagoland marketplace. The first occurred in 2010 with the addition of the Des Plaines office, followed by SS&G's downtown Chicago office in 2011. Michael L. Perlman, SLSF's managing partner, will serve as managing director of SS&G's newest office in Skokie, Ill., and will lead its Chicagoland operations.
"SLSF is a great firm with terrific clients, and we're excited to begin a new year with such a stellar group," said Gary Shamis, managing director of SS&G. "When we entered the market in October 2010, we naturally planned for growth. But the rate at which we've experienced it has surpassed all expectations."
The merger will considerably enhance SS&G's restaurant, health care, real estate, and nonprofit practices and provide SLSF clients additional value.
"SS&G and SLSF have similar service-oriented, client-focused, employee-centric cultures," Perlman said. "Those factors - combined with the fact we're both entrepreneurial, independent firms - make it a natural fit."
SS&G is a full-service certified public accounting, business advisory, and management consulting firm encompassing assurance, tax, employee benefits, and restaurant accounting services. SS&G also provides a broad scope of services through its health care, wealth management, business consulting, and payroll affiliates. With offices in Illinois, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Ohio, and more than 500 employees, SS&G is one of the nation's largest independent accounting and business consulting firms. SS&G is a founding member of LEA Global, an international professional association of independently owned accounting and consulting firms.

Safe Haven Clip: Julianne Hough, Shirtless Josh Duhamel Play in the Sand
What brings Katie Feldman to the the sleepy beach town of Southport, North Carolina? Widowed store owner Alex Wheatley is determined to find the answer.
PHOTOS: How Julianne Hough became a red carpet star
In a sneak peek preview from the upcoming romance movie Safe Haven, Katie (Julianne Hough) and Alex (Josh Duhamel.) get to know each other while relaxing on the beach. "So why Southport?" Alex asks his new acquaintance.
"It looks like this," Katie replies, smoothing the sand with her hand. "Such a clean, empty canvas."
"You're starting over?" asks Alex, who's raising two young children on his own. "Sort of," Katie says cryptically. "I was just looking for a change and I always wanted to live in a small town."
"Well, you found one," Alex smirks. "But it's nice. You'll like it. Are you staying? Or are you passing through? What's your story?"
PHOTOS: Josh Duhamel's sexiest shirtless moments
Not ready to reveal the intimate details of her past, Katie smiles and says,"So many questions. . ."
Directed by Lasse Hallstrom and based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks, Safe Haven is in theaters Thursday, Feb. 14.

Gordhan Says Weak Rand Benefiting South African Exporters
The rand's almost 20 percent plunge against the dollar this year is already benefiting some South African exporters, improving the competitiveness of the economy, Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan said.
"Some say they are in a better position to export now than they used to be and they have got better order books than before," Gordhan said in an interview at a mining conference in Johannesburg yesterday. "Some are taking advantage of the weaker rand."
The currency's depreciation, the most against the dollar this year among the 16 major currencies tracked by Bloomberg, may help to ease pressure on an economy that's set to expand at its slowest pace since a 2009 recession. At the same time it's adding to pressure on inflation, which accelerated to 6.3 percent in July to exceed the Reserve Bank's 3 percent to 6 percent target band for the first time in 15 months.
With a weaker rand boosting import costs, including gasoline prices, "how you keep the balance is part of the difficult task that we have," Gordhan said.
South Africa imports about 70 percent of its crude oil needs, with the rest of its requirements met with gasoline and diesel made from locally mined coal.
The rand gained 0.1 percent to 10.3820 against the dollar as of 10:12 a.m. in Johannesburg.
Strike Disruptions
The Pretoria-based Reserve Bank has kept its benchmark repurchase rate at 5 percent for more than a year as it juggles faster inflation and sluggish economic growth. Violent strikes in the mining industry and a decline in export demand from Europe limited growth in Africa's largest economy to 2.5 percent last year. The bank is forecasting expansion of 2 percent in 2013.
While gross domestic product expanded an annualized 3 percent in the second quarter, according to data published by the statistics agency yesterday, output may come under pressure amid a wave of strikes that began this month.
Carmakers, including Toyota Motor Corp. and Volkswagen AG, have idled plants since Aug. 19 as about 30,000 workers downed tools to demand higher pay. The National Union of Mineworkers has rejected offers from gold producers and may decide on a strike as soon as Aug. 31.
"Strikes are not the end of the world," Gordhan said yesterday. "Every part of the world has strikes. I do not think we should overplay it."

What I'm using is the old-fashioned, traditional Sodium thiosulphate. Whether it's anhydrous or not - you've got me there! It's the only type I've ever come across - transparent crystals, elongated with several sides and up to a quarter inch in length, about an eighth diameter. My guess is that it's not anhydrous.
I agree that the amount of hypo is a key factor - too much gives no true blacks and blown highlights, though rating the film at a higher ASA can give usable though low contrast results. When you say that you're using a fraction of the hypo I am perhaps I'm not explaining myself well. I'm dissolving 20g of hypo in 200cc H2O, then using 10cc of this solution per gramme hypo required. At 4g/litre, for my 35mm tank, which requires 300cc of solution to cover one film, I'm using 12cc or effectively 1.2g hypo. How much do you use?
I'm not sure how much the last rinse inversions are necessary, but I guess I'm just erring on the side of caution.
At a rough count-up, I've been through about ten films to get to where I am. Four were with Rodinal as first developer and were at best inconsistent. Then I latched on to the current process, starting with widely varying exposures (and ending up at box speed, as Ilford suggest), then playing with the first development time and hypo added. At one stage everything went to pot and I seemed to be back to square one but identified the problem as a fault with the shutter speeds on my Pentax K2 which, even in manual mode, were pretty much random! That's now away for repair.
This evening I projected some reversal b/w slides to someone else for the first time and the reaction was one of surprise that they could be as effective and were more artistic than similar shots would be with all that distracting colour!
Best wishes,
