General information:
Each year, over 50 billion chickens are raised for meat and eggs, worldwide. Around 70% of those raised for meat, are confined in intensive systems.
Nearly ten billion chickens are raised for meat in the U.S. annually.
In 1920, it took 16 weeks for a chicken to reach 2.2 lbs (1 kg). Genetic modification has now allowed broilers/meat chickens to reach 5 lbs (2.2 kg which is slaughter weight), in around 42 days.
Living conditions:
Thousands of chickens are crammed together so tightly, they can barely move. Each chicken has less than half a square foot of space.
Broiler sheds generally contain nothing more than feeders, watering systems, and litter on the floor to absorb droppings.
Since the litter is not usually cleared until the chickens are sent for slaughter, the air is polluted with high concentrations of ammonia. This ammonia can damage chickens' eyes and respiratory systems, and cause painful hock (leg) and feet burns.
Confined chickens cannot do anything to adjust to the temperature inside the shed, so they suffer from extremes of heat and cold. Thousands can die of heat stress if the ventilation system is not working properly.
Shortly after hatching, chicks have the ends of their beaks cut off, without anaesthesia. It is said to reduce injuries from fights. That has nothing to do with pain medication though does it? They also don't mention that it makes it harder for the chickens to eat.
Health problems:
Broiler chickens have been genetically altered to grow so quickly, their hearts and lungs are not developed enough to support the rest of their bodies. Congestive heart failure is just one consequence.
Their chests are so large that their legs cannot support them, resulting in lameness. This forces chickens to spend much of their time lying down, since walking is too difficult/painful.
Lameness may also make it difficult, if not impossible, for some chickens to reach food and water. Some just die where they lay.
The unsanitary conditions they exist in, cause disease. Routine antibiotic use to prevent disease, has been thought to lead to antibiotic resistance in humans.

POULTNEY - A Green Mountain College student is in intensive care after he was severely injured early Sunday morning after police said he jumped from a fourth-floor window of Ames Hall while he and friends were taking LSD and drinking wine.

Pizzino was initially transported to Rutland Regional Medical Center after the 2 a.m. fall, but was soon flown to Burlington by helicopter.
Detective Sgt. Albert Abdelnour said Pizzino was drinking LSD-laced wine with a group of friends when he allegedly ran to the end of a hallway and jumped through a closed window from the fourth floor of Ames Hall.MORE IN This Just In

A limited liability company, commonly called an "LLC," is a business structure that combines the pass-through taxation of a partnership or sole proprietorship with the limited liability of a corporation.
Like owners of partnerships or sole proprietorships, LLC owners report business profits or losses on their personal income tax returns; the LLC itself is not a separate taxable entity. Like owners of a corporation, however, all LLC owners are protected from personal liability for business debts and claims -- a feature known as "limited liability." This means that if the business owes money or faces a lawsuit, only the assets of the business itself are at risk. Creditors usually can't reach the personal assets of the LLC owners, such as a house or car. (Both LLC owners and corporate shareholders can lose this protection by acting illegally, unethically, or irresponsibly.)
For these reasons, many people say the LLC combines the best features of the partnership and corporate business structures. To learn more about limited liability companies and limited liability, see Nolo's LLC Basics.

Recap: Asterix and the Magic Carpet
After being burned to the ground at the end of Asterix and Son, the Gaulish village has been rebuilt exactly as it was before (though Geriatrix might have liked a bit of modern architecture), and a celebratory banquet is being held. However, it is interrupted by Cacofonix' dreadful singing as he tests the acoustics of his new hut, causing a sudden downpour, and the enraged Vitalstatistix begins chopping down the tree with the bard's house in it to make him stop.Suddenly, a man in a turban and a loin cloth falls out of the sky and lands next to the bard's tree. He introduces himself as Watziznehm, an Indian fakir, and apologises for (literally) crashing their party after he lost control while flying over their village. His carpet has landed between the houses of Vitalstatistix and Geriatrix, whose wives both lay claim to the carpet and begin fighting over it, a fight that quickly spreads to the male villagers as well. Cacofonix, unaware of the goings-on below, begins singing again, triggering another shower. Watziznehm is delighted - as he explains to Asterix and Getafix, he has been looking for "the village of madmen, where a voice makes rain". Before explaining himself further, he retrieves his carpet after first taking a terrified Impedimenta and Mrs. Geriatrix for a wild flight to get them to stop fighting over something that isn't theirs anyway.Watziznehm explains to Vitalstatistix and the other Gauls that he is from the Ganges valley in India, where a terrible drought has left the river dry, and he has been given 1001 hours to find a solution, or the guru Hoodunnit will order the sacrifice of Orinjade, the daughter of the local Rajah, Watzit. He believes the bard's voice may hold the key to breaking the drought, and Vitalstatistix allows him to "borrow" the offended Cacofonix, and sends Asterix, Obelix, and Dogmatix along as well.The journey gets off to a rough start, as Obelix is unable to bring any provisions on the voyage, while Cacofonix is forbidden from singing, and then falls off the carpet and lands in a tree after Asterix tries to lighten the mood by looking at the wild boar playing below, causing an eager Obelix to upset the carpet's balance. A stop at a Gaulish restaurant terrifies the proprietor and customers, but satisfies Obelix' hunger for a while.The next day, the carpet is flying over the Tyrrhenian Sea, and the Gauls make another stop for provisions on the ship of their old friends, the pirates (Baba the lookout, convinced they mean to scuttle the ship, does so himself first). As they fly over Rome, they pass Caesar's palace as an ill Caesar steps onto his balcony to get some air; he and his doctor are both taken ill, believing the sight of the Gauls on the carpet to be a fever dream.Intercut with the journey of the carpet are scenes back in the Ganges valley. Princess Orinjade has faith that Watziznehm will return with the voice that makes rain to end the drought; her father is less certain, and Hoodunnit taunts them with the fact that the time to her sacrifice is running out. Hoodunnit's henchman, the fakir Owzat, asks what will happen if Orinjade's sacrifice is not enough to make it rain; Hoodunnit replies that the Rajah will be the next sacrifice, and if that doesn't work either, it won't matter, as Hoodunnit himself will be Rajah then.Tempers begin fraying on the carpet as it flies toward Greece, with Cacofonix bristling ever more at being forbidden from singing. An argument breaks out between the bard and Obelix, and finally Cacofonix defies the moratorium on his music, causing another downpour during which the agitated Watziznehm falls off the carpet, leaving the Gauls to plunge into the sea. They are rescued by Greek merchant Onthepremises, and find the fakir in a jar of wine on his ship, dead drunk. Cacofonix tries singing again to bring him round, and although the resulting storm causes the ship to run aground, the fakir regains consciousness. Asterix and Obelix push the boat back to sea, and the hungover fakir finally manages to get the carpet airborne again.The carpet is greeted with a volley of arrows as it flies over Tyre; one hits Obelix in the backside, causing him to fall off the carpet, though Watziznehm is able to fly under him and catch him. As they continue toward Persia, it begins pouring with rain, and for once, Cacofonix has nothing to do with it. Suddenly, the carpet is hit by lightning and catches fire; Watziznehm crash lands in a river, and as the carpet now has a huge hole in the middle, they must find a replacement. They run across a Persian carpet merchant, but he says that he only repairs carpets he makes and sells himself, even after being threatened by Obelix, and his own carpets are out of their price range. Fortunately for the Gauls, a band of Scythian raiders descends on the village, and Asterix promises that if the merchant will give them a carpet, he and Obelix will repel the invaders. The merchant agrees, and after a banquet to celebrate their victory, Watziznehm and the Gauls hurry on to India.They finally arrive in the Ganges valley with thirty hours, thirty minutes, and thirty seconds to zero hour, to Hoodunnit's chagrin. However, Cacofonix has lost his voice after flying through the freezing Hindu Kush mountains, and cannot sing to break the drought. The Rajah summons his doctors, who declare that Cacofonix must soak overnight in a bath of elephant milk, elephant dung, and elephant hair. Watziznehm takes the Gauls to the elephant keeper Howdoo for Cacofonix' treatment.However, Hoodunnit sends two thugs to kidnap Cacofonix and leave him for dead in the elephant graveyard; when Asterix, Obelix, and Dogmatix are taken by Watziznehm to retrieve him, they are stopped by Owzat on his carpet, and as the two fakirs fight a battle of wills, the Gauls make their way to Howdoo's on foot. Finding Cacofonix and Howdoo's favourite elephant gone, they let Dogmatix follow the bard's (now very powerful) scent. After a few close encounters with the local wildlife (none of whom are a match for Obelix), they find the thugs riding Howdoo's elephant, and find Cacofonix alive and well in the elephant graveyard; his scent led the elephants to believe he was one of them.Watziznehm finally outwits Owzat and retrieves the Gauls; zero hour is upon them, and Orinjade is about to be sacrificed. The Gauls decide they're not giving up without a fight, and Asterix even gives Cacofonix some of his magic potion. The sacrifice is interrupted literally at the last second as Asterix punches the executioner sky high, while Watziznehm grabs Hoodunnit and drops him from a great height to land near the unconscious Owzat. As the fight continues, Cacofonix notes that the magic potion really works wonders - and realises his voice has returned. He begins singing, and a torrential downpour finally begins, restoring the waters of the Ganges. Everyone is delighted - except Hoodunnit and Owzat, who fly off on the latter's carpet.The Gauls are rewarded with a celebratory banquet, but Obelix is still not content; he believes the Gauls back in their village are having a banquet without them. And sure enough, they are; as Fulliautomatix, who misses having Cacofonix to beat up, sits forlornly under the tree to which the bard is usually tied, Geriatrix and Getafix note that they haven't had rain in their village for a while, and perhaps they ought to hope Cacofonix returns soon.
- Anachronism Stew: Various influences of Islam appear, such as fakirs, clothing such as niqabs, and certain architectural styles, despite Islam not being introduced to India until the 11th century or even existing in 50 BC.
- Better to Die Than Be Killed: Or, in this case, better to sink than be sunk. When the magic carpet lands on the pirate ship, Baba decides to scuttle the ship to prevent the Gauls from getting there first... unaware that they were just stopping for food.
- Continuity Nod: The book starts up from where Asterix and Son left off (with the village being repaired from Brutus' attack), and mentions of past adventures are made as the Gauls go on their journey.
- Every Episode Ending: Subverted; Cacofonix is not gagged and bound for the final banquet in the Gaulish village, as he is halfway round the world as a guest of honour at the banquet in India. Instead, Fulliautomatix the blacksmith is sitting under the bard's usual tree, holding his hammer and looking depressed at not having Cacofonix around to thump.
- Language Barrier: Somehow averted.
- Magic Carpet: But of course! Here, they're fakir-powered.
- National Stereotypes: The Indians are able to use magic spells that enable carpets to fly and ropes to rise erect. Watziznehm is able to go without food for days and sits on a bed of nails. Some local Indian fauna is seen too: tigers, Indian rhinos and Indian elephants.
- New Powers as the Plot Demands: Cacofonix's bad singing starts summoning rain, just as a country is suffering a drought.
- Not Me This Time: Every time there's a rainstorm, Cacofonix is usually the source. But when the group fly through a downpour over Persia, and everyone gives Cacofonix the evil eye, he swears that it's got nothing to do with him this time.
- Orphaned Etymology: The word "pachyderm" was not invented until the 19th century.
- Shout-Out:
- In one panel, the guru Hoodunnit mentions that, like his cousin Iznogoud, he will become Rajah instead of the Rajah. The Iznogoud series was originally written by Goscinny, like Astérix, and the title character aspired to be "Caliph instead of the Caliph".
- In the original French version, Cacofonix begins singing a song which a caption notes is not to be confused with another comic strip. The song is the "Jewel Song" from Charles Gounod's opera Faust, the trademark aria of Bianca Castafiore from The Adventures of Tintin.
- In the English translation, when Cacofonix regains his voice, he begins singing "With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain", the closing ballad from Twelfth Night. A caption credits the song to "a famous British bard". In the French version, Cacofonix's rain-bringing song is "I'm singing in the rain", the narration calling it "an old Celtic song on rain".
- There are several references to Arabian Nights. In the original French, the princess is named Rahazade, and the book is entitled Astérix chez Rahazade, a play on the name "Scheherazade"; in the English translation, meanwhile, Owzat jokes that even a thousand and one nights, never mind hours, would not be enough to save Orinjade from the executioner's axe.
- The scenes where Rahazade asks her sister whether she sees anyone coming yet and especially the standard answer the sister gives are a reference to Bluebeard.
- Snake Charmer: Some snake charmers are seen when Asterix and company visit India.
- Spoofing in the Rain: Cacofonix' song that makes the sky start raining is "Singin' In The Rain" in the original version.
- Vacation Episode: Indusland, aka India.
- Wacky Wayside Tribe: Everyone who appears before the Gauls arrive in India.

SEIU reps pleased with tentative contract
After heated negotiations, the city has come to a tentative two-year contract agreement with SEIU Local 1021.
The union, which represents 12,000 city workers, has staged large protests in recent weeks while negotiators worked on the contract. The union was opposed to pay cuts and increases in health care costs that the city originally proposed.
With the new agreement, city workers will get a three percent pay increase, to kick in next year.
The arbitrator of the negotiations also ruled in favor of the union on the issue of temporary workers, who mostly don't currently enjoy benefits or job security. Now, temporary city workers who have worked 1500 hours over the past three years will be prioritized for permanent jobs.
The SEIU did compromise on some parts of the deal. The new contract won't include travel pay previously provided to people who commute outside the city for work. There will also be new restrictions placed on union organizing, as union stewards will need to be "escorted" into what the city deems "confidential areas," restricting union access to work environments.
Larry Bradshaw, 1021 Vice President, has been at the table since negotiations began in February. "I'm very happy with the results," said Bradshaw. "Its the first agreement since 2009 where the city is not going to balance the budget on the back of working families."
In the years since 2009, city workers have had deferred pay wages, wage concessions, and increased health care costs. Bradshaw says the new contract will put base wages back at 2009 levels.
"I think in the first years of the recession our members were willing to sacrifice," said Bradshaw. "But then year after year, they don't want to keep doing that when the city is not going after corporations. They're just sitting on wealth and the city is not taxing that wealth."
That sentiment has led to the SEIU's call for increased taxes on some corporations in the city. That's the issue they address in the above video, which may become a TV commercial for what may become a ballot measure in November that would restructure the business tax code.
SEIU Local 1021 members are currently in the process of voting to ratify the contract. The vote will be done by Monday evening, just in time for the Board of Supervisors to ratify the agreement at their May 15 meeting.

Review: I tried a couple of the menu items. It's difficult for me to give them a great review probably because I don't really care for the high fat and condiment-filled dishes that these kind of restaurants serve. I had the burger, the bun was like a brick, inedible. The rest of the burger was not much better. The nachos were a lot better. I'd go back once more to try the salads to see if they get those right.

Let's set the scene: Green Bay leads the Saints 28-27 after Aaron Rodgers' 4th TD of the day, scored with 7:05 remaining in the game. Green Bay kicks off to New Orleans' Darren Sproles.
New Orleans then drove down the field for a 43-yard field goal. HOWEVER, a Saints holding penalty meant that he had to re-kick, and kicker Garrett Hartley pushed the ensuing 48-yarder wide with just under three minutes remaining. Considering how well Aaron Rodgers played the rest of the day, there's a good chance that the Packers would've been able to put together a comeback drive to win. But they didn't have to. And we all learned an important lesson: the real refs handle the games faster, more smoothly, and more consistently than the replacement refs did, but they're still far from perfect.

Today, Christmas classics by Tom Petty and Alice Cooper duke it out.
Guitar World presents the top 50 stomp boxes, devices and processors of all time.
Andy Aledort shows you how to play a renowned live version of Hendrix's "Little Wing."
After teasing fans with bits of lyrics for the past two weeks, Alice in Chains have just released an official lyric video for their new song, "Hollow." Check it out a fan-made lyric video below.
In 2013 Alice in Chains will release their as-yet-untitled fifth studio album. Although the band has been around for some 25 years, this marks only their second album without longtime vocalist Layne Staley, lending a still-new feel to the follow-up to Black Gives Way to Blue.
As Alice In Chains Jerry Cantrell gets set to be awarded the Stevie Ray Vaughan Award for his work with the MusiCares MAP Fund, the guitarist recently sat down with for a new interview with Grammy.com.
While Seattle has certainly enjoyed its 15 minutes of fame as "the capital of grunge," the city has also paid a heavy price for its rock and roll notoriety. A recent newspaper headline proclaimed it "Drug Town, U.S.A," while a noted music critic estimated that "one in four Seattle musicians is involved with heroin." Rolling Stone even went so far as to wryly note that heroin was "back on the charts," and that Seattle, along with New York and Hollywood, was a hot spot for the drug.
From The Archive: Jerry Cantrell releases his first solo album, and frees himself from the monumental bog that is Alice in Chains.
He's the guitarist for Alice in Chains, has played on albums by Danzig and Metallica and appeared in Jerry Maguire. But what Guitar World readers really want to know is…
When Layne Staley died seven years ago, Alice in Chains died with him. With Black Gives Way to Blue, the band rises from its ashes. Jerry Cantrell reflects on AiC's past glories and their new lease on life.

"They [Congress] tend to view… efforts to influence civilians outside an area of conflict as Public Diplomacy, the responsibility of the Department of State or Broadcasting Board of Governors." By contrast, "We [at US Special Operations Command] believe there is a complementary role for the Department of Defense in this space which acknowledges the need for a civilian lead, but allows DOD to pursue appropriate missions, such as counter-recruitment and reducing the flow of foreign fighters," he wrote.

Around The World, A Focus On Sending Less Food To Landfills
Food waste is not only an issue in the United States — roughly one-third of all the food that is produced in the world is never eaten. [...] "I think we have to look at where we are as a global community," says Stanley. "Our consumer standard is so high that there's no room for imperfection anymore, and that really drives the overproduction of food and, at the same time, conversely, a lack of value for food."
Losing The Story In Nepal
In the past two months, India must conclude, sadly, that its story on Nepal is not winning and its soft power is being eroded on a daily basis. This weekend's events, with the temporary detention of 13 Seema Sashastra Bal personnel by Nepal's Armed Police Force personnel and the Nepal government's decision to take Indian channels off air, only drive the point home that Nepal is rejecting India's power, both hard and soft.
An Economic Superpower Filled With Contradictions
This is reflected in China's active global public diplomacy drive [...] which started in the mid-2000s. This aspect of people-centred relations has also featured as an element in official Focac documentation. China's current engagement in South Africa has expanded to include the subset cultural diplomacy, a term described by the US State department as the 'linchpin of public diplomacy' that reveals the soul of a nation.
Reform and Adult Supervision for Broadcasting Board of Governors
The U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate should pass the bipartisan H.R. 2323 Royce-Engel U.S. international broadcasting reform bill to eliminate waste and improve response to ISIS and Putin propaganda. [...] Because international broadcasting, public diplomacy, foreign policy, and counter-propaganda are simply too big, too complex, charged with too many different missions, and politically too sensitive to be managed centrally by a single government agency or a single CEO.
Defeating ISIS Requires A Shift In International Policy
The Paris attacks were the most audacious act in Europe by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), signaling the dawn of a new era in which nowhere is immune from terrorist threats. However, they have not sparked a significant shift in policy by the international community. [...] the global reaction to the Paris attacks is playing right into ISIS's hands.
Painting Our Own Canvas
At last, Singapore has got its own magnificent National Gallery. Located in the restored City Hall and Supreme Court buildings, it is a showcase of South-east Asian art. Insight looks at why Singapore is putting local art in the spotlight, and what this signals about cultural identity.
'Purple Rain' — As Retold In A Language Without A Word For Purple
In 1984, Prince was on top of the world, with a No. 1 album and later a No. 1 movie, both named Purple Rain. Little did Prince know then how widely his projects' influence would spread, or the ways in which they might translate — literally. Three decades after the film first premiered, it got a remake filmed in Niger, featuring members of a nomadic group of people known as the Tuareg.

Tim McGraw Gives Military Family a New Home on Cake Boss
Tim McGraw is forever grateful to the men and women who serve in the United States Armed Forces. To show his appreciation, the country music superstar teamed up with Operation Homefront to provide mortgage-free homes for one military family during each stop of his 2012 tour.
"We've been doing some pretty cool things this summer," McGraw, 40, told a New Jersey crowd on the Feb. 11 episode of Cake Boss. "Our veterans and our wounded warriors give so much to our country. They do so much for us."
McGraw then introduced baker Buddy Valastro, who wheeled out a giant cake in the shape of a pickup truck. The ornate dessert featured a two-story home was placed in the truck bed. "This is not just a cake," the singer explained. "This represents a real house that you guys are going to get."
VIDEO: Tim McGraw reveals the sweetest thing he's ever done for Faith Hill
Marine Chris Chaput and his wife, Roseanna, were visibility moved by the gesture. "For me, it means a lot because I couldn't provide that for my family from being injured in the war," says Chris, who was deployed once in Iraq and twice in Afghanistan. "It doesn't seem real."
A teary-eyed Roseanna added, "It means that we can have a baby now. We just got married in February and we've been waiting to get a house so we could have a baby."
Cake Boss airs Monday, Feb. 11, at 10 p.m. EST on TLC.

Oh, Spring is surely coming,
Her couriers fill the air;
Each morn are new arrivals,
Each night her ways prepare;
I scent her fragrant garments,
Her foot is on the stair.
~John Burroughs, "A March Glee"
This is a gardening blog by a guy who dared to veer off the beaten path and discovered plants and gardening along the way. Join me as I write about my processes and inspirations from my "Midwest" point of view.

Oh, Spring is surely coming,
Her couriers fill the air;
Each morn are new arrivals,
Each night her ways prepare;
I scent her fragrant garments,
Her foot is on the stair.
~John Burroughs, "A March Glee"
A client calls in says their daughter is getting married at their home "in 3 weeks" and would like to know if we can come by and spruce things up a bit. Truth be told, the client wanted little more than this, but I proposed (no pun intended) more. And they went for it!
I think "my thing" at work has become "making it happen." Consequently, I'm called in to whip things up in situations like these. Sure there are moments of panic, like when you think the project is dead, then you get the call saying please proceed– a week later!! Then there are those moments when you need 70 white mums in fall but all the growers are out of white and nearly every other color for that matter. This is when I dig down deep inside and remind myself to breathe. Then I formulate plan B, and C, but never lose hope for A.
Our job begins with a fall cleanup, which consists of weeding, removing or cutting back spent plant material, pruning (where necessary), mulching, and of course hauling away all the debris. Not shown, myself and 3 other team members furiously working away.
While the cleanup is in progress, I undo the urns where old summer annuals were past their prime. The pink dots mark where new mums will be planted. It's rainy, but the show must go on. The wedding is in 4 days.
As I planned for this transformation, I kept hearing in my head "Something old, something new. Something borrowed, something blue". The symbolism of this Old English rhyme became integral to my plan.
I selected Snapdragons and Pansies in bright hues with a touch of white Sweet Alyssum. These annuals feel old fashioned to me and that felt right for the "something old" concrete planters. The result was no less splendid than a lovely bridal bouquet.
To enhance the fall theme, mini Cabbages and Heuchera with Swiss Chards were added as foliage accents. Grasses and Variegated Liriope echo the existing Liripoe in the beds. A cute pumpkin tucked here and there reminds us that this is the gathering season.
I was surprised to find two tall plastic pots deep in the garden beds. Except for one white geranium, all was practically dead in the neglected pots. This became my "something borrowed" moment. I gathered the old Geraniums and silvery Dusty Miller plants from another container and planted them together with new cabbages and kales. I just love how this came together.
The edges of the beds near the walkway were also planted with Cabbages and Sweet Alyssum. Repeating plants in various areas formulates visual cohesion and that creates a calming effect for the eye.
This is the view from the front porch. One side of the walkway was planted in a mass of pansies. This was my "something blue". The enormous mum pots with grasses in the center reach 4 1/2 feet tall and are wonderfully impactful. Just cracking open, these four pots will bloom in white. Eight other matching mum pots in every color but white are placed throughout the outdoor reception area.
And last but not least, "something new". The home is flanked by 70 white mums. This is a wedding afterall. As luck would have it, I was able to procure the mums at the perfect bloom stage– 4 days till showtime. I just love how they look against the golden hues of the hostas. I love pulling it all together and seeing it come to fruition.
Some projects are a year in the making, others just a few days. No matter the timeline, I strive to give all projects, and clients, my very best. Oh, about that swanky car. It's a vintage Cadillac which will be used for phots ops at the wedding.
This post is dedicated to Lee May, author of Lee May's Gardening Life blog. In my life, Lee was a blogging buddy, writing mentor, and fearless gardener. I was never so proud as when I appeared on his blogroll. He is greatly missed. Eddie Lee May, 1941-2014.
I once read that one was never to use red in the landscape because it interrupted the visual flow too much. For that reason, I've refused red blooms for years and still observe this rule today. That goes for annuals too- not in my pots. It is indeed a powerful color which has an interesting set of associations –heated emotions, passion, violence, communism, a sign of warning (traffic lights etc), and of course blood. I'm just not a fan, but admittedly have purchased a few red geraniums in my day. Other than that, I easily ignore the other red flowers at the garden centers… until this year.
My personal container designs have become a testing and trial exercise on how to exploit the virtues of a particular color. For several years, I have chosen a specific color theme to adhere to. The intent of this self-imposed constraint is to force myself to use new colors and new plants that would otherwise go ignored due to my finicky color prejudices which I developed some time ago. New plants mean new plant combinations, and new combinations mean better design savvy (hopefully). So this is where my stance on red takes a turn. This year I would work in red.
It took a while to amass enough plant material to begin. Many of the reds are just too fiery and off-putting. If I were to commit to red, it would have to meet me half way. I needed lovely sumptuous reds that would pull you in instead of agitate the eye and make you want to look away. I'm pleased with most of the results. Would I ever enter the red zone again? Not by choice, but the point of my exercise is simply to expand my knowledge of plants and use of color. Armed with this year's experience, I'm confident I can create something beautiful with reds if I am ever called upon to do so. As I reflect on the past year, I am reminded that life is short. Try everything. Even red.

I'm back after a little break from posting to Hortus 5. Truth is, I've been savoring winter's slow motion and luxuriating in its quite stillness. Now Spring is finally here and the last couple of days have been damp and chilly. Inbetween sunrise and sunset, one can still see their breath. I think most everyone in the Midwest is yearning for a warm and sunny Spring. No such luck, yet.
As winter loosens its grip, I am once again experiencing the multiple forces of the season which tend to make me more frustrated than anything. Exciting as it may be, I also find it a bit torturous. Spring's hills and valleys are much like a rollercoaster's, constantly changing, pulling you in all directions. Cold one day, wet another. And what to wear– base layer, rain coat, or both? My inertia climbs toward the sunny peak but Spring's coaster car has other ideas. Down we go again. Let's hope this ride doesn't plunge through a frosty tunnel or two. Ready or not, Spring is here and as always, it's gonna be a scenic and bumpy ride.
Above: Magnolia buds trying to break open.
I've been following the work of Piet Oudolf for some time now. He has been called the master of site-specific design in the contemporary naturalistic planting style. Although I've only seen his work in photographs, the scale and scope is awesome, thoughtful, and to me, inspiring. I'm so excited to share this preview of a piece being done to feature and document his work and process.
There has been much dialogue and debate as to whether or not this style of naturalistic planting design will take root here in the US, and to what degree. Reserved for public spaces? Will it creep into mainstream residential design? Time will tell, but this I know for sure. Mr. Oudolf's body of work is and will continue to be looked upon for generations to come as an artistic triumph of self-expression in planting design.
Gardens Illustrated magazine describes it this way: "Wonderful crinkle-edged, rust-coloured foliage in winter becomes almost orange in March. By April, lavender flowers deck the now bronze leaves. The whole plant gradually fades to olive green by June and sits unobtrusively in the garden until November when the first frost knocks back the green leaves and reveals the new rusty leaves emerging from below. It is a sight for sore eyes in February."
I think that sounds just divine.
"In January the most important thing a gardener can cultivate is themself." So says Jojo Tulloh in the Gardens Illustrated articled titled Respect Yourself. I couldn't agree more and liken it to nursing a nasty hangover after binging on gardening for months on end. I do my best to sleep it off and find that a little ibuprofen helps too. But what's the use? It won't be long before I fall off the wagon again. I always do.
Debauchery lies ahead, beneath the current pages of the calendar. Soon I'll be drunk again with flowers and foliage. Is rehab in order? I don't think so. I just need some time to rest, to plan, and even dream a little. Perhaps I'll set a goal or challenge of learning a new skill over the coming party *ahem* growing season. The next drunken stupor is inevitable, but it'll will have to wait at least until March.
No one says it better than the late Amy Winehouse (below). Happy New Year!
I've been bad. I was given some bulbs this past autumn but for one reason or another, never got them in the ground. The ideal time to plant bulbs is about six weeks before the ground freezes in your area. This gives the bulbs time to root and establish themselves. We've already experienced one ground freeze about four weeks ago. Recently the snow melted and temps were in the 50s. I got busy and buried 75 tulip bulbs before the predicted rains began. But am I too late?
I've seen gardeners plant daffodils in the snow and they were beautiful the following spring. Below left: An images from a Master Gardener project I documented. The gardeners were planting daffodil bulbs in January snow. Below right: Great results despite the late planting.
This is my first time ever planting bulbs. It's easy, but tedious if you have several bulbs to plant. It's the digging that gets you. I don't own one of those fancy bulb dibbles. I did all my digging with a trowel and fortunately have nice tillable soil to work with.
So, what is the best time to plant bulbs?
When the average nighttime temperature in your area is 40-to 50-degree range. For northern climates, plant in September or October, in warmer climates, you may need to plant in December or later.
If you plant too early, they might come up before the weather gets colds then die once frost comes. Planting too early can also lead to fungus or disease problems.
What if you miss the ideal time?
Let's be honest. This happens, but don't wait for spring or the next fall because bulbs do not survive above the ground indefinitely. If you find that you have bulbs that need to get in the ground, take your chances by planting them as soon as you can.
Here's how I did it:
Step 1: I arranged the bulbs where I wanted them above ground. This helped me visualize the spacing and layout. Hard as you may try, it's difficult to remember your layout once they're underground. That's why you start with everything layed out above ground.
Step 2: One by one, I dug a hole for each bulb. All bulbs should come with specific planting instructions. Generally speaking, tulip bulb holes should be 8 inches deep. Refer to the chart below for other bulb depth guidelines. Some bulbs will look nice planted in clumps rather than individually.
Step 3: With the hole prepared, I placed the bulb in the hole with the pointy-side up. I gently pressed the bulb into the bottom of the hole just to ensure that it did not roll or tip over.
Step 4: Next, I gently sprinkled soil back in the hole being careful not let the bulb tip over as I filled in the soil. Once covered, I patted it down with my hands.
Step 5: You can lightly water the bulbs after planting to help begin the process of growing, but do not soak them or they may decay and die. I did not water as the soil was moist and rain was predicted for later that day.
So now I wait. The bulbs will lie dormant for the remainder of winter. I think it's gonna work despite my procrastination. I did not add any bulb food or fertilizer as I figured these bulbs were already well fed and programmed for next spring. Hey, they're lucky they even got in the ground!! Stay tuned for a progress report.

Due to the cyber attacks that Saudi Arabia had to face in the recent times, it is now sure that slowly but very well Saudi Arabia has now took good steps in order to make the cyber security better than ever.
It has helped a lot in order to make the Saudi Arabia safer from the cyber attacks, which is a lot better for everyone that uses the internet across the Saudi Arabia.
In the list of countries that were vulnerable for the cyber security Saudi Arabia was on the 36th spot in the year of the 2013, but in the year of 2014 it climbed the 42nd position.
This shift in the ranking shows that Saudi Arabia has now took good steps in order to make it safe from the cyber attacks, and the threats which also include the malicious code and spam on the different levels.
In the past it was very easy for the attackers in the Saudi Arabia to threat or attack, but this was not their fault, as the security systems were weaker. Now that respective steps are taken this is visible that the systems are much safer now.
In the past the attackers were tricking the companies in order to install several programs that were used later by the cyber attackers in order to hijack in their systems, this gave the attackers a good access in the corporate network, seeking the information they were willing to have.
Its good to know that in the year of 2013 the cyber attack was about 56, and this dropped to the count of 39 in the year of 2014. It shows that it was shifted from 91 to lower count of 73 in the year of 2014.
This is of special importance, as Saudi government is planning to put together all related ministries in sync to track Hajj and umrah pilgrims.
Compared with the other security threat profiles Saudi Arabia remained at the number of the 4 from ranking of the 2013.
The industry that had to face many threats in cyber was the Finance, insurance, and real estate. Around 79 percent of the incoming mails were targeted.

Give a thank if I helped you
You are working outside the known universe for S3 users, I've heard of no-one else attempting repartition.
EMMC chip in this device appears to be very fragile, best of luck with your experiment.

Fragile; how so? I can accomplish what I want with loop files but I'd rather use partitions.

In March 2010 a North Korean submarine, without cause, torpedoed the Cheonan, a South Korean frigate.
They are here, aboard the frigate which brought me, your highness.
Our three chaps were Englishmen, and I make no doubt belonged to the frigate, as stated.
The approach of the frigate was anxiously watched from the decks of the prizes.
While in the hospital, the frigate made a cruise, leaving me ashore.
But a gale carried away the "Leo's" foremast, and she fell a prey to an English frigate which happened along untimely.
This ship was a vessel of the size of a frigate, and carried twelve guns.
And they were coming back to try for them when the frigate came in sight!
But the frigate which had her in tow hove in stays, and got her round.
Much as I wished to see London, my curiosity gave way to what I considered the necessity of my immediate return to the frigate.
1580s, from Middle French frégate (1520s), from Italian fregata (Neapolitan fregate), like many ship names, of unknown origin. Originally a small, swift vessel; the word was applied to progressively larger types over the years, but since 1943 it is used mainly of escort ships.

At first this seemed to be a very labor intensive site, but over the past 3 and a half weeks it is becoming easier and takes less time. The app on my Droid helps a lot.
I used to think I could never go without a soda. Just thinking about not ever drinking a soda again would make me crave it even more. It was actually a lot easier than I thought, to kick. I mainly drink water and one cup of coffee a day.If I want a soda, I split one with my fiancé, so I still get the taste, but I get half the calories.Since I quit drinking soda I lost 4 labs in a week and a half! Imagine the possibilities!222
Getting back on track has been easier than I thought it would be. Instead of trying to take my weight loss goal and the time from here to there as a big chunk and a long way off, I'm tracking my food one day at a time, one meal at a time. Thank you Spark People!
If I can't keep these foods out of my cupboards, I keep foods that I don't want to have easy access to (think chips, chocolate, etc) in plastic bags and bury them in the cupboards and back of the refrigerator. I also keep the good foods I want to munch on (veggies, fruit, nuts, etc) in the front of the fridge and cupboard. That way I'm organically creating healthy habits by making it hard to get the bad foods mindlessly.

If you look up articles on Javier Colon, he says that the show did nothing to help promote him after he had won, and he has since departed that label.
But it looks like Cassadee Pope is going to get a major push from her label. And she's also getting a TV show about recording her album.
Regarding Chris Mann, he's one of the many artists on The Voice who had a professional career and a fanbase before appearing on the show. If you look back at the final four of the first three seasons, only one of them was a true amateur (Trevin Hunte). The others were all seasoned vets.

(1.8L 4-cyl. CVT Automatic)
I own this car as well.
In short, I hate the way the car handles in city/stop and go traffic.
Too unpredictable.
One way to circumvent a problem is keep the car in "SPORT" mode so the CVT is more sensitive to your foot.
It's the only way to get consistent power in a turn.
Once on the highway, the CVT runs great, but trying to merge into heavy traffic, turning at a light or stop sign and it's quite frightening because you never know what the hell the car will do. If you gas it too much, you go into a turn with too much speed. Not enough gas and the RPM's will start out ok but as you complete the turn the CVT goes sluggish and the RPM's drop. You have to once again give it a good push of the throttle to get back up to speed. This is NOT SAFE if you are trying to turn at a stop sign in heavy traffic. Never again, I'll avoid CVT's in the future. Nothing beats a conventional automatic, MPG be damned.
CVT's are NOT good in gasoline engines; they work best in Hybrid vehicles as they were designed for.

- What's Included
Although today's home entertainment systems can bring endless hours of viewing enjoyment to everyone in the family, they can also be difficult to deal with, especially if you're always having to disconnect and reconnect wires when switching between components. After all, not everyone in the household, especially children, may be capable of reconnecting components when they need to and may even damage A/V equipment if they try.
S-Video Switching for Superb Picture Quality
Many TVs include an S-video input-a superior type of video connection than the standard coax or RF video inputs. S-video provides greatly improved clarity and resolution and a significant reduction of video artifacts. However, S-video-equipped TVs often include only one or two S-video inputs, which can limit your ability to get the most from your home entertainment system. But the 4-Input S-Video Switcher includes S-video switching on all inputs.
High-Quality Construction
The 4-Input S-Video Switcher is constructed using high-quality components for maximum performance and reliability, including gold-plated connectors for best video and audio signal quality. The 4-Input S-Video Switcher includes non-skid feet to assure the unit stays in place when in use.
Easy Set Up and Installation
The 4-Input S-Video Switcher is easy to install in your system. Just connect all your source components. For added convenience, the Video Selector features a separate front panel jack for connecting powered multimedia speakers, and switches the audio from your components along with the video.
Manufacturer: Terk Manufacturer Product No.: VS-4 Inputs: 4 Output 1: A/V Output with S-Video and Composite Video Phono Jack, with L/R Audio Phono Jacks Output 2: Audio Output with Stereo Mini Jack Dimensions: 7" W x 2 1/4" H x 2" D

Although WW2 and Viet Nam vets are not allowed to visit their memorials in the National Mall, illegal aliens will get free rein of the place, with the administration calling it a first Amendment right. The only problem with that as non citizens, they do not have the same rights as citizens. Non citizens can sometimes get rights in say a criminal prosecution but not in deportment proceedings, although they do get representation before a judge.
This is a slap in the face to every veteran or any US citizen for that matter, who have been locked out of the nation's treasures for which they are part owners. The illegals will build a stage have amplified equipment, access to TV cameras. This president is playing politics and it's only a matter of time before even his most ardent supporters see through his thinly veiled hatred of everything American.
Mark Krikorian, director of the anti-immigration Center for Immigration Studies, told the Daily Caller that:
"What this means is that the administration is sending a clear message that it's OK to barricade elderly veterans out of their memorials, but illegal immigrants have to be accommodated no matter what."
"It's hard to justify closing off open areas , but to allow a major setup with equipment, electronics and security in a closed area is a little outrageous,"
For democrats, amnesty is high on their list of priorities, taking precedent over minor items, such as the budget, debt, and jobs. It is estimated that under the new bill put forth by Senate Democrats, 33 million illegal immigrants will find a permanent home here.
The organizers are on tens of thousands of marchers taking part in tomorrow's activities. That might be a bit optimistic, since an October fifth rally in forty states only netted fewer than 50,000.
Some republicans are working for amnesty too, which could cost them their base and let the party slide out into oblivion, never to be heard of again.

For the past few months I've noticed that when I apply a lot of torque to the pedals, I hear a clunk and a sudden and temporary loss of resistance in the pedals. It happens on any one of the cassette cogs, though usually it's in the larger cogs because I'm starting off from a stop. It doesn't happen all the time, but it is getting more frequent. I know it's either the chain slipping or the freehub, and I am definitely leaning towards the freehub as the culprit. I have a new chain and the cassette teeth look okay, the only shady part of the drivetrain is the Taiwanese rear hub.
Does this sound like a typical failure mode of a dying freehub? If so, has anyone got any recommendations for a good sturdy 9-speed compatible hub? I'd prefer it to be silent as well, if possible. Thanks!
