Sen. Barack Obama will mark a major milestone in his presidential bid Tuesday evening by holding a rally in Iowa, the state that started him on his way toward his likely Democratic nomination.
His campaign said today that he will hold an outdoor election night rally in Des Moines, as returns from primaries in Kentucky and Oregon come in.
Obama is expected to mark the collection of the majority of elected delegates that evening, although his campaign has stressed that he does not plan to claim victory in the nomination fight with Sen. Hillary Clinton.
Iowa has been a battleground state in recent presidential elections and Obama's strategists believe he can win the state, something Sen. John Kerry was unable to do in his 2004 campaign against President Bush.

Sanborn List Copies/ Resources
Welcome to our Sanborn Fire Insurance web page. One of the projects we would like you to be aware of is the collaboration of the Digital Library Center and the Map & Imagery Library to digitize the Map Library's Sanborn collection through 1923. It was a considerable project, though well worth the effort because of the wealth of information that is now available to the public. For access to digital images of the Sanborns please click HERE. Contact the Digital Library for inquiries about thier digital collections.
Sanborn Maps
The Map & Imagery Library holds the largest collection of Sanborn maps of Florida cities, outside of the Library of Congress. Over 130 Florida cities and towns are covered, with the earliest map depicting 1884 Cedar Key.
The Sanborn Fire Insurance Company was conceived as the D. A. Sanborn National Insurance Diagram Bureau by its founder, D. A. Sanborn, in 1867. By acquiring the Perris & Brown firm in 1899, the Sanborn Company could date its origins back to 1852. Sanborn's Company was incorporated in 1876 under the name Sanborn Perris Map Company, Ltd.. The name was shortened to today's usage, the Sanborn Map Company, in 1902.
Sanborn Fire Insurance maps were designed to help fire insurance agents assess the degree of hazard associated with a particular property. To illustrate the detail needed for this use, Sanborn maps were drawn at a scale of 50 feet to an inch, on sheets 21 by 25 inches. Later publications were drawn at scales of 100 or 200 feet to an inch, due to economic constraints. Sanborn maps show size, shape, and construction of the building. Additional details are: firewalls, locations of windows and doors, sprinkler systems, and roofing material. Areas adjacent to the buildings were also covered: width and names of streets, property boundaries, building use, and house block number. Water mains and the dimensions of such, fire alarm boxes, and hydrants are depicted as well. Sanborn maps are also color- coded. For example, brick is pink, frame is yellow, adobe is olive, stone is blue, and iron is gray. Each map set begins with an index sheet showing which areas depicted by what sheet for the rest of the set.

Copies/ ResourcesAfter producing maps and atlases of more than 12,000 U.S. towns and cities, the Sanborn Fire Insurance Company went out of business. Copyright for Sanborn maps produced after 1923 is now held by Environmental Data Resources Inc., (EDR). Copies of Sanborn maps for U.S. cities may be purchased from EDR, the Library of Congress, or UMI / ProQuest.
The Library of Congress distributed duplicate copies of Sanborn maps in their collection throughout the country. A list of institutions to receive these maps is provided as it was published by the Library of Congress in 1981. Additional information about Sanborn Fire Insurance maps may be found in print, and in online resources. Please note that these lists are provided in support of the information needs of library users and not intended in any way as endorsements. Users should properly evaluate resources according to their academic and research needs.

Recall -- Firm Press Release
FDA posts press releases and other notices of recalls and market withdrawals from the firms involved as a service to consumers, the media, and other interested parties. FDA does not endorse either the product or the company.
Isabella Foods, Inc., Recalls Tekita Brand Pico De Gallo Because of Possible Health Risk
Isabella Foods, Inc.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- El Paso, TX -- June 24, 2004 -- Isabella Foods, Inc., of El Paso, Texas is recalling 13 ounce containers of Tekita Brand Pico de Gallo, lot number 1550401, because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
The Pico de Gallo was distributed in 13 oz tubs through large retail grocery facilities in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. Tekita Brand Pico de Gallo is packaged in clear, plastic, 13 oz tubs with a yellow round label affixed to the lid. The product has a small white sticker affixed to the tub which indicates lot number 1550401.
No reports of illness or injury have been reported as a result of consuming this product. The recall is being initiated as a result of product testing conducted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration which revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in the product. Isabella Foods has ceased the distribution of the product as FDA and the company continue their investigation as to what caused the problem.
Consumers who have purchased Tekita Brand Pico de Gallo, lot number 1550401, are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 915-590-1899.

Red dwarf crayfish????
Today at my lfs I saw these pretty small shrimp looking crayfish. I'm thinking about adding some to my tank and want to know if they're peaceful.
If they are CPO's, they are vicious little boogers.
CPO aka Orange Dwarf Crayfish aka Cambarellus Patzcuarensis (var. orange )
Most crayfish are vicious and NOT community friendly. They should be in species only tanks. They are omnivores and opportunistic.
Regarding CPO ... if you go that route and can get a breeding pair... you can make some $$ off of aquabid. They are fairly new to the market.
I have found that my Cajun Dwarf crayfish (Cambarellus shufeldtii) are pretty harmless. I have them in with my RCS and even when they are right next to each other, the crayfish just ignore the shrimp. Not to say they wouldn't take a shot at a baby/sick/old shrimp or fish, but so far things have been ok. They just aren't flashy and colorful but still a cool addition to my tank.
That is correct. Or if you do, keep smaller fast moving fish.

It was a warm, mild day and I thought I'd used this time to just go out for a nice, long walk. Tim was relaxing, Dad was at work, and Mom just left to do some errands. I also wanted to bring the dogs along with me.
Me: *opens my brother's door* "Tim, I'm going for a walk and I'm bringing the dogs with me."
Tim: "Okay."
Me: "Thanks. *closes his door* Alright, you little scoots. Time for a walk."
Pretty soon, I had the dogs leashed up and we were walking. The dogs were fine in the first 2 blocks of the walk. But when we got to the end of the 3rd block, we noticed something on the ground. It was a large object that was shaped like a disk. It was also peach colored with shades of white, pink, red. and blue. The dogs were sniffing it, but I told them to step back so I can inspect it.
Me: *gets close to the disk like object* "What do we have here? *picks up the disk* I think I might have a Frisbee that someone lost. I guess I'd better return it to the owner."
All of a sudden, the disk formed a pair of pink eyes, a nose, and a mouth!
?: "What are you talking about? I don't have an owner!"
Me: *sees the disk's facial features* "YAHH! *drops it as Beemer and Belle were barking at it* What in the world?!"
?: "What's the matter? Ever seen a talking disk?"
Me: *nervously* "No. *suddenly snaps out of it* Wait a minute, I think I know what's going on here. Are you a rubber girl?"
?: *playfully* "Maybe. Take me to your house and I'll tell you."
Me: *unsure* "Um, okay." *picks it up again*
Since I had a leash for each of my hands, I had to place it between my index finger and thumb on one of my hands.
Me: *thinking* "I have a weird feeling about this."
It wasn't long before the dogs and I were finally back home. I unhooked them of their leashes and I went into my room while carrying the disk. Just then, Tim called me.
Tim: *from his closed door* "Hey bro! How was the walk?"
Me: "It was fun, but the pups are a little worn out."
Tim: "Okay."
After that, I was finally in my room and I put the disk on my bed.
Me: "Okay, I brought you back home. Now will you kindly tell me what you are?"
?: "Just get a rolling pin and an air pump."
Me: "I understand the air pump, but why a rolling pin?"
?: "Please just get them for me."
Me: *sighs* "Alright." *leaves the room to get an items she asked for*
I grabbed the air pump from the garage and found a rolling pin in the kitchen without difficulty.
Me: *thinking as I was heading back into my room* "Just who is she?"
I opened the door to my room and showed her the rolling pin and air pump.
Me: *opens the door* "Here it is.
?: "Good, now flip me on my back to show my belly."
Me: "Okay." *places her on her back*
?: "Great, now use the rolling pin to flatten me."
Me: *realizing* "Oh, I see! Once you're flattened, you want me to use the air hose to inflate your body."
?: "Now you got it!"
Me: "Alright, here it goes." *begins rolling her flat*
Once I finished flattening her, she resembled a 19 year old girl. Now all that had to be done was not making her flat as a pancake.
Me: "Pretty good so far. Now we just have to pump you up."
?: "Right."
Me: *brings out air pump* "Are you ready?"
?: "Ready."
Me: "Alright, hold still."
?: "That's all I can do."
Me: *embarrassingly* "Oh, right." *sticks the hose into her mouth and beings pumping her up*
It took about ten minutes of pumping, until at last she was back to her normal form. She was a beautiful girl who wore white/blue shirt with a necktie and a blue skirt. She also had pink shoes with white/pink socks that stretched above her knees. Finally, she had pink hair with 2 pony tails.
?: "Thank you for helping me. My name is Sasha, what's yours?"
Me: *shakes her hand* "My name is Robert."
Sasha: "That's a nice name."
Me: "Thanks. Can you tell me about yourself. Such as how you got your abilities?"
Sasha: "Oh, that's easy. I'm actually part toon.
Me: "Really?"
Sasha: "Yep, I was born human. But after a being stuck in another dimension/parallel world called Toonsville, I've gained these funny powers. I can stretch, *stretches her body* change into objects, *changes into a bean bag chair and back* and inflate myself." *takes a deep breath and inflates like a balloon*
Me: "Woah."
Sasha: *deflates* "Indeed. I also attend a college and work with my uncle at a warehouse. It's a nice job, but it can be tricky."
Me: "Why's that?"
Sasha: "Well, it's just that some of my coworkers like to play pranks on me, because of my elasticity. I try to prank them back, but they usually fail. Thankfully it's not everyday and my uncle helps me with that."
Me: "That's horrible. I hope you don't get hurt."
Sasha: "Eh, you get used to it after a while."
Me: "I see. Speaking of which, how did you end up as a disk on the side of the road?"
Both of us sat on the bed as she told me how she ended up as a disk.
Sasha: "My friends, Rika and Lyloo, were playing Frisbee with me. I was the Frisbee obviously."
Me: "I kind of figured."
Sasha: "Anyway, Lyloo accidently threw me too hard and lost me."
Me: "Oh my goodness."
Sasha: "To make things worse, I always close my eyes when they toss me."
Me: "So you don't get dizzy?"
Sasha: "Yeah. When I opened my eyes again, I realized I wasn't in the yard. I was lost until you found me."
Me: "No problem and don't worry. I'm pretty sure that the girls will find you."
Sasha: "You're right, they'd never desert abandon another rubber girl."
Me: "That's what I call loyalty right there."
Just then, Rika and Lyloo knocked on my window with their stretched out arms.
Me: *opens the window* "Hey, what's up?"
Rika: *worried* "Have you seen our friend, Sasha?"
Me: "Why don't you ask her yourself?" *opens the window more*
Sasha came right out the window and landed right in front of her friends.
Sasha: "Hi."
Lyloo: *tearfully* "Oh, Sasha! *hugs her* "I'm so sorry I threw you too hard."
Sasha: "It's okay, Lyloo."
Rika: "You just need to control yourself when it comes to certain games."
Lyloo: "I guess you're right."
Zeneth: "She is."
Suddenly, Zeneth and Hackson appeared.
Me: "Hackson, Zeneth, what are you doing here?"
Zeneth: "We were also looking for Sasha as well."
Hackson: "But once the scanner in my eye picked up her location, we headed right to the scene."
Me: "Cool. Say do you want to play Frisbee since all of you are here?"
Rika: "I suppose so."
Hackson and Zeneth nodded in agreement.
Sasha: "I'm ready to be thrown."
Lyloo: "Wait, Sasha. I have a better idea. *transforms herself into a Frisbee disk* I don't want us to spend another wild goose chase trying to find a friend that I lost. So I'm returning the favor by having you throw me instead."
Rika: "Are you sure you'll be okay? You've never done this sort of thing before."
Lyloo: "I'll be fine. If she can take it, so can I!"
Rika: "Alright. Bob, shall I help you down?"
Me: "Please."
Rika turned herself into a slide near my window. I slid down her back, landed on the grass, and ready to play some Frisbee!
It was soon evening when we finished our game of Frisbee and it was time for my friends to depart.
Hackson: "Well, that was fun. But I think we'd better head back home."
Zeneth: "Yeah, me too. See you around, Robert."
Me: "See you around."
Hackson and Zeneth walked away.
Rika: "Come on Lyloo, it's time we should head home too."
Lyloo: *turns back to normal with spirals in her eyes* "Yeah, lets go. I think I may need more practice."
Rika: *giggles* "I guess so."
Sasha: "For starters, you should close your eyes when you're a disk. So you won't get dizzy."
Lyloo: *dizzily* "I'll try to remember that." *faints*
Sasha: *giggles* "See you around, Robert. It was really nice meeting you."
Me: "Likewise, Sasha."
Sasha: "I hope to see you again sometime. *kisses my cheek which makes me blush* Bye." *inflates like a balloon and heads for home*
Me: *waves goodbye* "Bye."
Rika: "Goodbye, Robert. We'll see you soon."
Me: "See you around."
Rika and Lyloo stretched their bodies to grab branches of the trees. That way, they were like gibbons. Although, Lyloo was still a little dizzy from the games. As a result, she had a hard time trying to focus where to grab. This caused her to grab on weak branches that broke and some telephone wires. After seeing this, Rika decided to carry her home. It made it a little more difficult for her to grab onto branches, but she still was quick.
As I watched them leave, I heard my mother's car horn. She was back from her errands and she needed help. Quickly, I rushed over to her.
Mom: *sees me running to her* "Hey Bob, what were doing outside?"
Me: "Just getting some fresh air."
Mom: "It is a nice evening, isn't it?"
Me: *as we brought in what she got from her errands* "It sure is."
The End
It was a warm, mild day and I thought I'd used this time to just go out for a nice, long walk. Tim was relaxing, Dad was at work, and Mom just left to do some errands. I also wanted to bring the dogs along with me.

Hypervisibility III - Beyond the Closet: Coming-Out Narratives in Transnational Visual Cultures
full name / name of organization:
University of Ottawa, Canada
contact email:
In 'La Queer Theory est made in the USA', Lawrence R. Schehr underlines the pitfalls on an uncritical, un-problematized re-appropriation of Queer Theory to national and cultural contexts other than its original one (North America). Queer Theory itself is predicated upon specific signifiers characteristic of the English-speaking context, that is the closet metaphor (which determines visibility in binary terms) and homophobia. Eager to challenge universalising North American queer thought, Schehr argues for Post-Queer Theory instead, a theory that would extend the problematique of Queer Theory to other national contexts while taking into account the specificities of other cultural environments.
The main purpose of Hypervisibility III – Beyond the Closet is precisely to examine, from a post-queer perspective, the expressions of queer and homosexual voices, and more precisely, coming-out narratives in contemporary visual cultures (film, videos, photography, graphic novels, contemporary art etc.) and performing arts in non-English speaking countries.
As for Hypervisibility I (Montréal, 2006) and Hypervisibility II (Stirling, 2008), we welcome abstracts focussing on visual productions of the last 30 years. Although focus is on coming-out narratives in other contexts than an English-speaking one, we also welcome other approaches and themes for papers/sessions such as:
- Homosociality versus homosexuality: cross cultural (mis)understandings;
Abstracts on other relevant topics will also be considered.
Hypervisibility III – Beyond the Closet will be held in French and in English on October 16th and 17th 2013 at the University of Ottawa (Canada). Abstracts of 200-300 words, *in either English or French*, should be sent together with a brief biographical summary at email@example.com before April 30th 2013.
Main organiser: Florian Grandena, Ph.D.

PS Refugium
In building my twenty gallon FOWLR tank, I thought about using the attached PS refugium as the only method of filtration. Would I need anything else if I put macroalgae and a nice 3" sand bed in this? It functions as a fuge and skimmer...
That is a very good system. Should do great as your main filtration with LR and extra flow.
Your going to need a light, though. There is one that mis made for that, but I will need to find it.

Yes, I'm still working on my TV stand
Dance lessons and rehearsals (for the daughter, not me) are eating up time that I might normally spend in the shop, so progress on the TV stand is slow. A lot of the pieces have been cut to size so I've been finishing them as I go and that's taking a long time. Here's why: Each surface needs to lay flat so the finish spreads out evenly. For one of the vertical dividers, that's three surfaces (each face, plus the narrow edge that faces forward). Each surface gets three coats. I can apply one coat a day. That's nine days just to finish the dividers. Then I could move them out of the way and find room for a couple more pieces.
However, I'm beginning to have doubts about the brush-on poly I'm using. There was the earlier post about repairing bubbling on one of the frame and panel assemblies. Now on one of the dividers, I've got a couple of spots that are adverse to having any polyurethane on them. There must be some sort of oil contaminating those spots. I'm afraid it may come down to refinishing that face. Tack on another 3-4 days for that. Hopefully, the finishing will be smooth (pun intended) from here on out.

Christmas List
Baker & Taylor
A successful but heartless businessman sees his own obituary in the newspaper after a case of mistaken identity, setting in motion a series of events that profoundly changes the lives of several people who have suffered due to his ruthless business practices.
Baker & Taylor
The best-selling author of
The Christmas Box
returns with a new heartwarming novel for the holiday season, a story of hope, love, and faith.
Simon and Schuster
A heartwarming and inspirational Christmas novel in the tradition of
The Christmas Box, Grace, The Gift
, and
Finding Noel
. The
New York Times
bestselling author of
The Christmas Box
and The Walk
series returns with a holiday novel of hope, love, and redemption.
Dear Reader,
When I was in seventh grade, my English teacher, Mrs. Johnson, gave our class the intriguing (if somewhat macabre) assignment of writing our own obituaries. Oddly, I don't remember much of what I wrote about my life, but I do remember how I died: in first place on the final lap of the Daytona 500. At the time, I hadn't considered writing as an occupation, a field with a remarkably low on-the-job casualty rate.
What intrigues me most about Mrs. Johnson's assignment is the opportunity she gave us to confront our own legacy. How do we want to be remembered? That question has motivated our species since the beginning of time: from building pyramids to putting our names on skyscrapers.
As I began to write this book, I had two objectives: First, I wanted to explore what could happen if someone read their obituary before they died and saw, firsthand, what the world really thought of them. Their legacy.
Second, I wanted to write a Christmas story of true redemption. One of my family's holiday traditions is to see a local production of Charles Dickens's
A Christmas Carol
. I don't know how many times I've seen it (perhaps a dozen), but it still thrills me to see the change that comes over Ebenezer Scrooge as he transforms from a dull, tight-fisted miser into a penitent, "giddy-as-aschoolboy" man with love in his heart. I always leave the show with a smile on my face and a resolve to be a better person. That's what I wanted to share with you, my dear readers, this Christmas -- a holiday tale to warm your season, your homes, and your hearts.
Merry Christmas

Costume Designer Holly Hynes and Costume Maker Coco Dupont came to town late in August for a rendezvous with Kansas City Ballet's Artistic Director Devon Carney and the ballet's costume shop team. We joined the group as they went to work fitting the in-progress costumes that have been created for Kansas City Ballet's new NUTCRACKER.
Among the costumes slated to be tried on that day were the Snowflakes and the Sugar Plum Fairy. Dancers came and went, measurements were taken, and details were discussed. Costume pieces were marked and pinned for many aspects including fit of the bodices, length of the tutus, and placement of sleeves. Attention was paid to the look of the costumes as well as to how they move and feel for the dancer.
Take a look at how the Snowflake and Sugar Plum Fairy costumes are coming together:
As the clock ticks down to the Nutcracker's opening curtain on December 5, KCPT's Arts Upload takes a backstage look at the creative process, and the potentially risky business of rebooting a classic!

Dell mystery 'MID' in the works; news in brief

Dell at work on mystery 'MID'
Dell is working on a mobile internet device (MID) that may or may not run ARM chips and Google's Android operating system, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal and picked up by other outlets.
Rumors of a Dell-built response to Apple's iPod have circulated for some time.The Round Rock, Texas, company has already said it might offer Android as an alternative OS on some machines but didn't offer much detail.
The Journal positions this pocket-sized gadget as Dell's response to Apple's wildly popular iPod music player.
Still, there has been some difference of opinion as to what differentiates a MID from a netbook. Some experts say MIDs fall more on the cell phone side of the spectrum than netbooks and that they are more like handheld gadgets with Web connections and will rely on iPhone-like touch-screens rather than keyboards. Others use the terms MID and netbook interchangeably.

More afghans for sad goodbyes
Wednesday, November 6, 2013
Three women with Jefferson City's First United Methodist Church are working to keep a longtime Jefferson City resident's legacy alive.
Marylin Durk, Karen Fischer and Carol Galloway are collecting afghans for a program called Afghans for Angels, founded nearly 10 years ago in Missouri by the late Falba Core.
The program sends handmade afghans to Missouri hospitals for families of infants lost through miscarriage, stillbirth or infant death.
"They wrap the baby in the soft afghans or tiny, knit blankets," Durk said. "It allows parents and families to hold the baby and say goodbye. It's also a keepsake for the family."
The trio shipped out their second shipment of afghans to Missouri's 73 birthing hospitals Tuesday. The ladies' first shipment was in November 2012, six months after Core died.
"We've got between 80 and 90 boxes with 12 afghans in each box, and little tiny hats," Durk said.
She said the afghans were donated by more than 100 women, most of whom are from Missouri. The women were asked to pray over the afghans as they crocheted, knitted, quilted or sewed them.
"It's a labor of love," Fischer said. "I've been blessed with two children and five grandchildren, and to think of losing one, I can't even imagine the heartbreak it would bring."
The women attach a small card to each afghan with the name and even a message from the person who made the blanket. On the opposite side of the card, parents can write the baby's name and date and time of birth.
"It's been a real blessing to help someone in need of love, prayers, and them knowing that we care about them," Galloway said. "This ministry is as much a blessing to us as it is for the families who receive them (the afghans)."
Shipping costs, as well as the cost of some supplies, are funded through donations and through Core's memorial contributions.
If you would like to make a monetary donation, an afghan donation or a donation of supplies to Afghans for Angels, you may contact Durk at 635-8359, Fischer at 761-4582 or Galloway at 635-7587. Completed afghans may also be dropped off at First United Methodist Church, 201 Monroe St.

Hi, I have just come across this in a garden, have I correctly identified it as Japanese Knotweed, if so what is the next course of action as gardeners are not yet allowed to chemically treat it.
Need to see the leaves Paul.
hmm, it doesn't have any on at the moment.
Has a resemblance to Leycesteria formosa.
But as artjak says, we need to see the leaves. Shape of the whole plant and its base would be good as well
Don't think it's Knotweed - the dreaded JK has shoots and leaves growing alternately from each side of the stem - yours looks as if the shoots are growing in pairs.
Are there any leaves we can have a look at?
Dove, do you know if JKWeed has slightly reddish stems?
dont look like it https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=japanese+knotweed+identification&sa=X&espv=210&es_sm=122&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&ei=FcodU5uRNYOM7AbFwIHABA&ved=0CEkQsAQ&biw=1366&bih=643 i know its long but ??
..nothing like Knotweed... might be Fennel..?
Paul, where did you hear that gardeners cannot chemically treat it?
I think the stems are a bit redder on JK. Is there a lot of it Paul, and what sort of height is it just now?
Yes leycesteria formosa does look familiar in the photos but so does JK. Does leycesteria formosa have multiple stems at the base like Japanese knotweed, she said that she thought a neighbour had some JK a while ago.
Ah well spotted DFA, so JK does not have leaves in pairs. Ok so I think we might be onto something. I might have to go back to get more photos, I shall take photos of the base, any leaves and stems.
Yes the leaves grow alternately on JK Paul. My ex husband moved into a new house a year or two ago and there was JK on the adjoining, council owned, woodland. It's been chemically treated.
Hi artjak, I read on-line that gardeners can not treat it themselves and they would have to call in specialists.
Hey FG, it has a clump of multiple stems at the base, bamboo like about 30cm in width. Oh some is heigh at the back of the garden and some are a lot smaller at the front of her garden.
Ah ok thats good to know FG, all I have to do now is identify whatever it is, like nutcullet said it might be leycesteria formosa which I have never heard of but it looks like it might be
If it's in various positions around the garden it might be worth asking other neighbours if they have it too. If they have, and you're in any doubt, I expect a call to the council would be worthwhile as they might come and take a look to put everyone's mind at ease.Depends how nice they are!
Ok I will ask the neighbours when I pop over there this thursday The council will be the next option
Paul, when was this photo taken? JK won't be growing yet and certainly wouldn't be that height in March, no matter where you live in the UK. Gardeners are allowed to treat it, and should if it's on their land - glyphosate. Treat in summer when plant is in flower, cut back stems ( they're hollow ), pour in recommended dosage of glyphostae and plug top of cut stem with cotton wool.
I don't think this is JK, by the way!
Definitely NOT japanese knotweed! We had it in the garden - just one little bit - and I'm very proud to say managed to kill it dead dead dead dead dead . Sorry. It did become a bit of an obsession at one stage.
But this looks like friendly old fennel to me.
I agree, last year's fennel stems - cut them down to the base and dry them, then use them on the BBQ when you're cooking fish
Or use them to make a bug box
Or both
I was confused by the feathery bits until I realised that was a willow in the background. I think it's most likely Leycesteria formosa and not jap knotweed.

Residential Permit Parking - About the Online Application
A New Online RPPD Application
The RPPD program launched a new web based permit management system that allows all applicants to apply online and follow the progress of their request as it moves through the application/ issuance process.
If you already have permits you can activate your current account by setting up a username and password. You will then be able to manage your account by adding, updating or removing vehicles.
New residents will also be able to set up a new account and apply for permits.
Please note, it is NOT necessary to apply for a permit during your renewal cycle.
Resident Information:
When initially connecting to your current account or setting up a new one, you will be asked to enter your zip code. As you begin typing in your street address a predefined list of addresses within that zip code will appear to select from. You will also be asked for your full name, driver's license number and state of issuance, phone number and email address.
You will setup a username and password (6 or more characters) and also respond to 3 challenge questions that will allow you to reset your password if you forget it.
Pay special attention to the response to 'Exception'. (Detailed information on Exceptions can be found on the main RPPD Permit Application page.) If any of the options pertain to YOU, select it. Otherwise leave it blank. The response that you give to this question may determine whether you receive a temporary permit or will have to submit documents before we issue you a permanent permit. You will receive a confirmation email that your account has been created.
Vehicle Information:
You will then be prompted to enter your vehicle information. Be prepared to enter the VIN of the vehicle, license plate and state of issuance, year, make and model. Also have your Fairfax County vehicle personal property tax number ready to enter in the 'Personal Property Number' field.
If you have not registered your vehicle follow the directions on the previous page under "Registering a vehicle with the Department of Tax Administration (DTA)". When that online session is complete, enter the number displayed on the screen in the 'Transaction Reference Number' field instead.
Pay special attention to the response to 'Exception'. If any of the options pertain to the specific vehicle that you are entering, select it. Otherwise leave it blank. The response that you give to this question may determine whether you receive a temporary permit or will have to submit documents before we issue you a permanent permit. You will receive an email with a tracking number for each permit that you apply for. If additional documents are required that you will be faxing or mailing to us, please include the generated tracking number for that vehicle.
All information that you enter will be verified with DMV and the Fairfax County DTA for vehicles. Any incorrect information will only delay the processing of your request.

what's this?

Just wakening... the crashing of the thunder and bright flash of lightening. I curl myself around you, head on your chest, and feel your nipple under my cheek. My tongue flickers out, wrapping around the little nub, feeling it hardening. My hand drifts to the other, rubbing it softly. My fingers carress your belly, sliding down lower, to your half hardened cock. I stroke you gently, feeling you growing in my loose grip. I ease myself down, slipping under the blankets and take you into my mouth. You stir briefly, and I just hold you there, quietly. When I hear your rythmic breathing again, my tongue and mouth work to bring you to fullness. I gently kiss the head, then ease up so that I am now over you, one leg on either side of your hips, I raise so that I can press you inside of me, slowly, taking my time, inch by inch, until I am flush with you, your entire length inside of me, throbbing, but yet you sleep on. I lay my body along yours, thigh to thigh, chest to chest, arms around your shoulders and my face buried in the curve of your neck, and drift back to sleep, as the storm surges on around us.

Jan 22 @ 6:55PM
Im scared mommy can i sleep with you?
Jan 22 @ 6:56PM
Are you every man's DREAM or what? Reading that got me worked up and wet for you, you naughty woman (LOVED IT !)
Thunder Storms and heavy rain are awesome for Love making. I would love to kiss you all over, tease you with my tongue, drive you to the edge and bring you back and then do it again......I so love a woman on top so I can watch, play wih her breasts and then do whatever it is that she loves and then do it again until we are both just exhausted and gasping for breath. Would hold you sooo close all nite long from behind in the fetal position and then make sweet passionate love with you again upon waking. A Hot , Hot shower or Tub with jets in the morning afterwards and then probably another go around would be sooo fun. Would then feed you and I a fantastic breakfast and give you a morning kiss and wish you a fantastic day and call you during the day... Thank you so much for the awesome image, you are the ONE!

Man, with the way that snow is coming down, I'm glad I have a Jeep. Now did I forget something? Lets see... some candles, a bottle of vino (hopefully she has some glasses), Ravels Bolero on CD. Oops, get your brain back on track, you almost missed the drive.
Jan 22 @ 9:27PM
*sighs dreamily as she gets the wine glasses out and brings the portable cd player into her bedroom... sprays a tiny bit of cologne on one dim lighbulb and sets out candle holders*
Drive safely, want you to get here in one piece... then let me tear ya up!!
Jan 22 @ 9:36PM
Comes to the door carrying a small bag and a red rose for the lady. As the bottle of wine is opened, PK asks what else is in the bag. Little does she know...
Jan 22 @ 9:38PM
Good story, but I'm afraid that it's going to take more than this to perk me up.
Jan 22 @ 9:48PM
As the vino is doing its work, PK's eyes light up when I pull out 4 of my silk ties and ask her if she has any ideas on what to do with these.
Jan 22 @ 9:55PM
Jan 22 @ 10:26PM
With a sly grin, PK's robe falls to the floor. Out comes the lotionand I start rubbing it into her back, then legs, and finally on that cute ass of hers, making sure everything is covered. She then rolls over and I loosely tie her hands and ankles to the bedposts. Can't tell if it is the cool room or arousal, but her nipples are sticking up like erasers. Slowly I kiss and lick my way down her body, concentrating on those beautiful breasts of hers, teasing her nips before moving further south.
Ummm, the wonderful aroma of her pussy juices is filling the air, as I move my tongue in and around her pussy, teasing so she doesn't cum too soon. Wait, not yet, keep getting her close many times before I let her release with a moan and a scream.
Jan 22 @ 10:33PM
Since she wasn't tied very tightly, her hands cupped my face and said it was my turn to be taken care of.
Jan 22 @ 10:41PM
hey lik make sure your not wearing the skid mark underwear. Kissy probably wont have any on by sound of her story...

Today (7/11) is the birthday of one of the most successful guitarists of his time, Richie Sambora. He and Jon Bon Jovi write most of the band's songs, and he has released two solo albums. A third solo effort, "Aftermath of the Lowdown," will be available September 4th. Sambora was married to Heather Locklear from 1994 to 2007. They have a 14 year-old daughter named Ava Elizabeth Sambora who is already a model – no surprise! Richie has been in rehab more than once for abuse of alcohol and painkillers. In fact, he missed the May 22, 2011 performance of Bon Jovi at Scottrade Center due to a stint in rehab.
Today is also the birthday of St Louis' former heavyweight champ, Leon Spinks. He won a gold medal in the 1976 Olympics and beat an out-of-shape Muhammad Ali two years later to become king of boxing. Spinks and his gap-toothed grin were featured on the cover of the February 19th, 1978 Sports Illustrated. Later that year, he lost to Ali in a rematch.
Both Sambora and Spinks are in their 50's. Who's older?
Sambora 53
Spinks 59

Dennis, Perl & George with their show
People most often think me rather odd and slightly strange...it's ok...i thought it too...and then i found out that both sides of my family tree have sideshow/ carny blood and Amusement park blood. That summed it up real quick. One side of my family was building the first amusement park while the other side had a traveling road show, where they wore make up, played music and sold tickets for you to step inside and see Satan. (No kidding/see photo) Other people come from dentist, stock brokers and helicopter pilots, but not me...I was born of freakshow blood.
Mom's side
Step inside the Entrance to the MAGIC PALACE and SEE SATAN!
JOYLAND my Grandfather started with just a little train to take
little children on rides with and it bloomed into JOYLAND
Then he went to work on his true love...Motorcycles and he passed
JOYLAND down to some other of my kin...who later blew his brains out...

I administer a server that's hosted at GoDaddy and at seemingly random times I'm unable to FTP to the server from my desktop machine. I am able to FTP to the server from another machine on the same LAN as my desktop machine and I'm able to FTP from my desktop machine to other servers without any issue.
Things I've tried so far:
- Set up logging at the Hardware Firewall on the Server and don't see any activity
- Trying multiple different FTP clients
- Checking to make sure the output from the tracert is the same for both the working and non-working desktop.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Solved] Turned out to be a faulty ethernet driver that I've been using since June 2009; there was an update the same year with no details associated with the update, but the procedure I used for recreating the issue doesn't work after a driver update. For the record, I found out that the FTP connection would start failing after a large download via FTP.

Church to put on mystery
Friday, November 5, 2010
Guests will be greeted and seated by a suave French garcon at the "fashionable Cafe Flambe" Nov. 12-13 as Wesley United Methodist Church in Jefferson City produces "The Case of the Mysterious Benefactor."
The interactive dinner theater is a first-time venture for the church's missions team as a fundraiser for the P.E.T. (Personal Energy Transportation) mission project.
The Columbia-based P.E.T. Project Mission provides handcranked wheelchairs for those without the ability to walk in underdeveloped countries.
For 75 audience members each night, dinner will be served promptly at 6:30 p.m. and the show will begin after 7 p.m. The three-course meal will include salad, choice of pasta and cheesecake.
Susan Williams directs this Brian Bopp comedy mystery, produced by special arrangement with Contemporary Drama Services.
Several of the cafe's patrons will receive mysterious gifts during the course of the show, said missions chairman Kathy Boyer. Guests will have the opportunity to guess who the benefactor is for a chance at door prizes.
Tickets are $20 and are available by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com or visiting www.wesleyumcjc.org.

Market Hall Museum
Built in 1670 as a market place, it originally contained arches on all four walls (later converted to windows), to provide under-cover space for stalls.
In the 19th century, the archways were railed off, and the space was used for stocks. These were on wheels, and the offender had to pull them into the railed area before being locked into them.
The stocks were used as punishment for drunkenness as late as 1872.
The building is now a branch of Warwick County Museum, concentrating upon the history, natural history, archaeology and social history of Warwickshire.
It also houses the World famous Sheldon Tapestry Map of Warwickshire, produced in tiny rural Barcheston.
Market Hall has a small shop which offers a range of gifts to suit all ages. The nearest public toilets are located in the Market Square and there are many nice cafes and tea rooms within a very close distance of the museum.

ClientEarth's biodiversity work falls into two broad and interconnected programmes. Our marine protection and fisheries programme was established in 2008, while our work on broader biodiversity issues in Europe and beyond developed in 2009.
Marine protection and fisheries
The world's oceans are in crisis. Existing legal frameworks have completely failed to protect the marine environment. Without adequate marine protection, commercial fisheries could collapse and coastal water quality and ecosystem stability will seriously deteriorate, with potentially serious knock-on effects for terrestrial ecosystems.
We deploy long-term dedicated legal expertise to strive for more robust marine protection, and take legal action where appropriate.
