Aries (March 21-April 19)
Aries, I told you last month that I would be receiving a sign for you soon. Now, after much divination and meditation, I can see that sign, and Im afraid it says, "Free wings at Roccos, Happy Hour only$2 dollar drink specials." The wings of
your destiny appear to be barbecue in nature, and rather grease-laden and lukewarm after spending the last few hours on a steam table. And when you reach the stool of your reckoning, remember to ask for a lime with your watered-down rum and cokethe scag behind the bar tends to
cut corners. Look to Saturn, Aries, and take a cab home.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Youre a weird, stuck up asshole, Taurus. I dont get it. I never did anything to you, but you still react to my presence in bars, restaurants and at other chance meetings by pretending Im not there. I know you recognize me, bitch; what the hell is your
deal? It makes me want to punch you in the back of the head that you seem to feel so superior to me. The only thing that holds me back is the satisfaction I derive from the knowledge that I jacked off into your face cream last night when I broke in to watch you sleep. Sweet
dreams, Taurus.
Gemini (May 21 June 20)
Gemini, your vocal claims that corporations should not be taxed are a clear indicator that you are a twisted, hateful idiot. I can understand that the trauma of ostracization by members of the opposite sex and persecution by your peers can lead to a
sensationalistically malevolent worldview, but its not the lower classs fault that you were ridiculed by your peers, its yours. Besides, you live in Clarence, stupid. Your skewed assertion requires you yourself to pay more in payroll taxes, and is obviously motivated by
a desire to draw any kind of attention whatsoever to yourself. You claim to hate liberals, but you are truly a wounded child, yearning for their acceptance and approval, and reflecting the scorn your self-hating paranoia projects upon them. Look to Mercury, Gemini, and then go
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Cancer, I know that things have been pretty rough for you monetarily of late, but trying to get a job as a stripper is not the answer. No, Im not trying to say that its somehow immoral or shameful, or even that you could do better; quite the contrary, in
fact. What Im really trying to tell you, Cancer, is that youre not exactly the delightful dish you imagine yourself to be. A healthy ego is a good thing, but you shouldnt imagine yourself to be an irresistible temptress just because the lonely toothless losers down at
the diner make rude comments as you walk past them with a pitcher of decaf. Id actually bet that most of the patrons at The Booty Shack would probably be willing to pay a fee just to be spared the ghastly vision of your cellulite-ridden ass wobbling gracelessly before them.
Look to Uranus, Cancer, and prepare to lower your expectations even further.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
I hate to tell you this, Leo, but your continued obsession with comic books is virtually ensuring that you will retain your virgin status well into middle age. Face it, the only people who think youre cool are other sexually frustrated arrested development
cases who wash their hair every couple of weeks and play fantasy role playing games online, where they can act like alpha males (or scantily-clad vixens) and not get ridiculed for it. Theyre comic books, Leo, not really important art, and, while were at it, no girl over 11
is going to be turned on my your complete set of Star Wars cards, either. Look to Orion, Leo, and sell your John Byrne Fantastic Four collection.
Virgo (Aug 23-Sept 22)
Christ, Virgo, why did you eat that acid? Now youre going to be up all night, freaking out. What kind of impulsive idiot just throws 4 tabs of white blotter back with a whiskey sour twenty minutes before closing time? A drunk impulsive idiot, thats what
kind. Now youve got the bed-spins and the head-spins, and that cute goth chick you were gonna score with went home after you asked her to stop turning inside-out. Its OK, Virgo, just relax and ride it outyoull just have to blow off lunch with your girlfriends
parents tomorrow; shell get over it. Unplug your phone, Virgo, avoid mirrors, and keep reminding yourself that ceiling tiles cant really talk.
Libra (Sept 23 Oct 22)
Libra, you shitbag, you said you would do the damn dishes yesterday. In fact, you said you would do them the day before that; and even the day before that. If you think you can get me to clean up after your disastrous attempt to make Peking duck, youve gotta
be the most optimistic ketamine addict in history. You may not be bothered by the obscene stench wafting from the kitchen, but on the other hand Im not particularly bothered by the idea of knocking your teeth down your throat with a baking sheet coated with rancid burned duck
fat. Look to the classified section, Libra, because Ive had it with your lazy ass.
Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21)
My dear Scorpio, I would first like to say that I understand that you have never gone car shopping without bringing your dad along. His wealth of experience and minor expertise in automotive purchasing have served you pretty well throughout you life as a driver.
First there was that great Corolla he found you for a song, and after that thing finally went, he negotiated a sweet deal on the old Accord that youre still tooling around in. But your dad died last year, and that really means you cant bring him along anymore. Digging him
up was just wrong, Scorpio, and you shouldnt be surprised to find yourself in restraints. Look to the moon, Scorpio; its the only thing you can see through your 3-inch plexiglass window anyway.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 Dec 21)
Sagittarius, Im really confused and upset with you. You never return my calls, and you act like you dont know me when you see me outside your house. Look, youre the one who smiled and said "hi" to me last week at the bankwhy would you lead
me on that way if you were just going to send me mixed signals and play games like this? I know deep down you still care, Sagittarius, because you havent changed over to an unlisted number yet. Look to Venus, and consider deeply the purely symbolic nature of protection orders.
Capricorn (Dec 22 Jan 19)
Capricorn, Im afraid your boyfriend isnt going to make lunch with your folks todayhe took three hits of LSD at 4:00am last night. Not only that, but the good-for-nothing jerk went home with a haggard, coked-up, painted skank who only escaped his sexual
interest when he got distracted by the lines on his hand. Hes sitting at home right now, wrapped in a blanket, curling and uncurling his toes, watching "The Practice" and desperately clutching an orange. Dont despair, Capricorn; now is the perfect time to
brainwash him into a state of eternal remorse and atonement.
Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18)
Aquarius, you are not actually paranoid. Rather, it is entirely true that everyone is out to get you. Theyre all jealous, of course, because you are such a genius in every way. You grandeur, my Aquarian friend, is legendary among the vast array of exceedingly
important people who secretly monitor your every word and though through invisible microphones and brainwave scanners, and is by no means delusional. The White House itself can scarcely make a move without checking to see what pearls of foreign policy wisdom may have fallen from
your handsome lips this very morning in the shower. You are too smart and important to be allowed to stay alive, Aquarius, and I suggest that you run away and assume a completely different identity. As long as you dont live across the street from me anymore, weirdo.
Pisces (Feb 19-March 20)
Mis Piscis queridos, si los assholes podrían volar, usted sería la concordia. Usted es desprovisto del ética, o de cualquier grado del carácter moral. Mirada, Piscis, elasticidad justa detrás todos esos CDs usted estola del trabajo. ¡Usted incluso no tiene
gusto de esas vendas! ¿Qué el infierno usted está pensando? Usted escucha apenas siempre la música en el país, de todas formas, y cuando usted hace es siempre ese álbum estúpido del sastre de James. ¿Qué usted necesita con un doble-disco o un amo vivo P del asesino? Esos
individuos en el trabajo no son ricos, usted sabe. Usted tiene la llave, Piscis; ¡chivato justo adentro esta noche y puesto les detrás! Marqúela con tiza hasta una breve aberración. ¡No los lance hacia fuera, usted cobarde! Bien, lance fuera del álbum del oasis, usted no
desean oír esa mierda otra vez.

It was a sad day out at the Kennedy Space Center for those of us who've been around the shuttle program for a while. Sure, we know the ships stopped flying last year, but watching preparations for Discovery's final flight — in the horizontal, not vertical orientation — was sobering.
"I almost feel like I'm at a funeral and there's the hearse," said one of my long-time space reporter pals, Bill Harwood, with CBS.
We were looking at the shuttle perched atop its 747 jet carrier, ready for departure at dawn for Washington Dulles International Airport.
From there, the shuttle was flown to its new home at the nearby Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Va., an annex of the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum. On its way the shuttle made a flyover tour above the nation's capital.
It's a place of honor, to be sure, but Discovery's departure underscores the fact that there is nothing launching from Kennedy Space Center these days.
Following in Discovery's footsteps will be shuttle Endeavour's departure for the California Science Center in Los Angeles in September and Atlantis' tow down the road to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in November.
"You think this will never end, but we all move on," said former astronaut Mike Mullane, who flew three times on the shuttles.
I'm sure that's true, but it may take a while.

Three Creeks by Horseback
As we wind around to approach the spot, we see that a fallen tree has made it difficult to pass. We stop and contemplate our options. We agree that we don't want to turn back, but when I look to the left, the mere shift in my weight tells my horse that I'm thinking about jumping down into the creek to circumvent the tree. His reluctance tells me he doesn't think it is a good idea.
I relent to his decision. It appears our only choice is to climb up the bank and around the obstruction. The brush and low hanging trees won't let us pass in the usual horse-and-rider partnership, so we dismount and walk the horses through rocks, which at this point appear as boulders, around the fallen tree.
Chip and I lead the way. He scopes out where best to place his feet-between which rocks, at what angles. It is hard for me to take my two feet through the obstacles, so I know my partner, with four, is testing his skill. I jump over a pile of rocks, grasping the reins, but trying my best to stay out of Chip's 1,000-pound way. With one final jump, he is over the tree and around brush and squarely on the trail, saddle askew but unaffected and ready to proceed.
Our companions follow, charting a calculated and careful course through the brush and over the rocks. They make it, but the rocks have ripped away a shoe from the little black thoroughbred and left three of his four legs with cuts and scrapes. My friend, not wanting to risk further injury, chooses not to mount and instead walks her horse back to the trailer.
We muse about the incident: Form follows function, and some horses, like some people, are better suited for some things. We also talk about the intensity of the ride-the sights, the sounds, the feel and the unequaled pleasure of partnership between rider and mount. We agree that we will be back for another ride. After all, after you have experienced Three Creeks from horseback, how could you do it any other way? triangle
Who rides?
The typical equestrian trail rider in Missouri is over 40 years old and rides to be with horses and to relax, according to a survey conducted in 1995 by the Missouri Equine Council in cooperation with the Conservation Department. Data shows that of the 1,351

Off-camera flash: how to stop fearing your flashgun and take control of lighting
Lighting portraits with off-camera flash
Straight, on-camera flash is useful for revealing shadow detail in portraits taken in daylight, but it doesn't always produce the most exciting quality of light. Shots can end up looking a little flat.
However, by taking the flashgun off the camera, you'll see that you are able to create more dramatic, directional lighting effects.
The on-camera shot at the top of this page was taken with the flash in TTL mode. In this mode, the camera meters the flash exposure 'through the lens', thereby shutting the flash off when it determines the subject has received enough light.
TTL metering therefore tends to produce well-balanced shots, where the flash blends with any ambient light.
For the off-camera shot above, we used the flashgun in Manual mode. Unlike TTL mode, the flash always fires at a predetermined power level in Manual.
As a result of this, you can move the flash closer to increase the exposure level (as we have done here), or further away to
decrease it.
SEE MORE: How to mimic studio lighting in Photoshop for stylish portraits
TTL Metering
If we had used TTL metering in this scenario, it would simply have adjusted the power level of the flash to maintain a consistent exposure. This means that we would have needed to use the camera's flash exposure compensation function to force the flash to increase or decrease its output instead.

Patience Pays as Gold Prices Probably Set to Rise
TheStreet) -- Gold has been in a consolidation mode since mid-September, trading in a range from 1,760 on the low side to just under 1,800 on the high. With all the recent interest in gold, I thought it fitting to address this market. After all, it makes sense that a lot of people would want to get involved in the yellow metal.We are now in the midst of our third round of quantitative easing, better known as QE3. Central banks around the globe have taken an "accommodative" stance when it comes to monetary policy. Just yesterday, in fact, China pumped additional liquidity into the banking system. The European Central Bank has said it is willing to make unlimited bond purchases of member countries in trouble. We have a national debt that becomes more and more staggering by the day, a number so large that I do not personally see how it could ever be repaid without debasement of the dollar. The list goes on and on. One can make a compelling case for gold to go considerably higher. But will it? Markets do not always act as we think they should. This is no secret. When it comes to markets and trading, my goal is to make money -- not to be "right." I think that one has to let the market lead the way, and not try to be calling tops or bottoms. Leave ego out of the equation and eventually the market will tip its hand. I believe that someday soon that is precisely what gold will do. So far, the strong band of resistance from 1,790-1,800 has kept this market in check. What makes this test a little more interesting is how the market has behaved here as it has stalled out. On previous tests of this area -- going back to November and February/March of 2011 -- the market sold off a good degree following these failed tests. As a matter of fact, the market sold off both times to the tune of over a $200 decline. This time is different -- so far. And although the market has pulled back, the pullbacks continue to be shallow in nature. The market is building a cluster of closes just under this resistance area. In effect, the market is setting the stage for either a powerful move higher through resistance, a move I think could run a few hundred dollars to the upside, or the rally is coming to an end, in which case it is only a matter of time before this market sees a pretty nasty drop once everyone starts to liquidate. The fact is we just don't know right now. That makes sitting on the sidelines a great choice. I still favor the upside because the longer-term trend is up. Volatility in gold options has come in from recent levels, and for those who feel we are going to see a big run either way in this market, buying options seems like a much better idea than it did a few weeks ago. Patience is key. Wait out the market. If you are looking for long options positions, make sure you are using options that give you enough time to be right (at least 60 days until expiration). There are a ton of different ways to try to play this market. As always, feel free to contact me for details on potential trade setups. And remember, patience is key! Note that today is Oct. 9, and trade information is based on the most recent data. Please note: Futures and options trading is inherently risky and isn't suitable for all investors. Past performance isn't indicative of future results. Stop-loss orders meant to limit losses may not be effective because market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders.NEW YORK (

Chevelle Track-by-Track Commentary on New Album, La Gargola
Sammi Chichester | Mar 31, 2014 | Comments 1 | Tags: Chevelle
Chicago hard rockers Chevelle will release their new album, La Gargola, on April 1. In anticipation, the band has teamed up with Revolver to premiere a track-by-track commentary of the album. Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!
Drummer Sam Loeffler said, "With La Gargola we knew that we wanted to write a dark and heavy record. We abandoned a lot of the tones and sounds we have used on previous records in order to create a sound that is entirely different. There is a lot of reverb and effects with Pete diving into his collection of fuzz and distortion pedals building off of those sounds. This gave us a direction that we were all excited about. It ended up being a collection of songs that we look forward to playing onstage every night, which is ultimately our goal."
To stream La Gargola, visit iTunes. For more on Chevelle, visit their website and Facebook.

text: The PMO has a new rule: a JSR that doesn't produce an EDR for 18 months is marked inactive. Nothing else happens, just the marker. Officially, 294's last EDR was December 2007. However, as per the agreement with 277 and 294 EG members in December 2008, 294 was revived ain January 2009. Materials for an EDR were presented privately to the 294 EG in June 2009. You and BJ sent useful comments. Just about the time I was ready to file the EDR, the Simple Module System proposal showed up. I can only imagine the complaints had I proceeded with the EDR at that time. So, I will file an EDR this month based on the materials from June, along the following lines: - Module accessibility is a JLS concept; runtime module is a JVMS concept. - Module compilation unit is a JLS concept; it defines a module name + version; it is annotatable; its contents are implementation-defined. - java.* APIs are limited to representing runtime modules and (the runtime form of) module compilation units.

Imposing Again
I'm feeling a lot less optimistic after the meetings this week between the NHL and the NHLPA. Gary Bettman did not respond positively to the NHLPA proposal – and by that I mean he did not soften the league position at all – so it is now clear that the league is on a path that was laid out years ago, about the time the ink on the last CBA was drying.
Gary Bettman today: "We think we're paying too much in salaries… We want something close to what we envisioned eight years ago."
(I can't be surprised at this because the system that emerged in 2005 put the players squarely in the crosshairs for 2012. The NFL and NBA learned from the NHL lockout and all three leagues are sitting in the catbird seat. The idea that Gary Bettman and his cronies would put any value on labour peace at all was wishful thinking.)
The real problem, of course, is that Bettman is not afraid of any long term damage from a lockout. When asked about that today, he responded with "We recovered last time because we have the world's greatest fans." Gary crowed about this factor at a meeting in Boston earlier this year.
Revenues snapped back quickly for the league in 2005-06. There was a cost, of course, but that cost was quickly overwhelmed by the return. Bettman expects the same this time, and he is very probably right. Diehard fans – which includes pretty much everyone reading this blog – will suffer through the lockout but happily return when the games resume. Casual fans will hardly notice if the league doesn't start on time. They don't come on board until the playoff races begin to heat up anyway.
I'm sure the NFL and the NBA figured out football fans and basketball fans are just as great as hockey fans. The sports entertainment industry has decided that the baseball experience in 1994 was the outlier (and a big reason baseball has enjoyed labour peace ever since), not the norm.
The league imposed the 2005 CBA on the players and Gary believes – probably correctly – that he has the leverage to impose another one on the players in 2012. And that's the plan.
Those who were hoping that the new NBC TV deal and the Winter Classic might provide pressure points on the league were also indulging in wishful thinking. Their hopes were dashed with the news that lockout protection was built into the contract with NBC. This is not surprising – one would expect a possible lockout would be part of the deal – but it is surprising to me that NBC is obligated to pay even if the entire season is cancelled. (Or maybe not, considering the relationship between Comcast and the Philadelphia Flyers.) Anyway, the league put together a $300 MM warchest in 2004. They don't need it this year with the NBC payments.
The NFL stayed firmly on track and won. Likewise the NBA. Why would hockey proceed any differently now or in the future? Bettman isn't negotiating.
He's imposing again.
Postscript: Small mercies. At least Gary isn't prominsing lower ticket prices or 30 competitive franchises in 30 healthy markets. The only promise is that the players are going to get a lot less money.

I've been wonder for some time what the best practice is for modifying a plugin created by a WordPress user?
For example there are a couple lines of code I want to change within the Contact Form 7 plugin. The function is called function wpcf7_ajax_json_echo() and is located in:
wp-content > plugins > contact-form-7 > includes > controller.php
Of course I could just change the code right in that file and be done, but then I'm out of luck when I want to update that plugin as my modifications will probably get written over.
I know I should be making this happen via my functions.php file, but I'm not sure how to go about achieving this. Also, that particular function is 100+ lines of code and I'm guessing I don't want to overwrite that whole function, because there is a good chance the author of the plugin may choose to update something in that function in the future.
Does anyone know the cleanest way for me to modify a few lines within that function via my functions.php file?
Thank you!

A neighbour of mine has passed away and her children have sold the house, I do like to collect plants from friends and family and have just removed a Calla Lily from the garden and transplanted it into mine, will it survive as it is in full flower?
cut the flowers off ( they sap energy)and keep it well watered.
Thanks Hostafan, I shall do just that in the morning, I think my neighbours are already convinced I am a mad gardener, going out at 9.45pm will just confirm it!
I do hope this proves to flourish as a memory of your fellow, neighbouring gardener.
What a delightful way of us all to remember each other

Hi Everyone,
I hope that you are all well. Pre-Release 5 is under way as I am sure you have guessed but in the mean time I have been working on something that will hopefully benefit everyone, newbie and advanced user alike.
I am launching a new type of video series to run along side the regular training videos on the Smoke Learning Channel.
These videos called "HOT TIPS" will be short 2 minute videos that focus on a specific feature or function in Smoke.
I thought since I have seen this topic discussed quite a bit lately on the , the first video will be about dealing with the QuickTime Gamma issue and resolving it with the HEADROOM Option.
If this type of video becomes popular I'll make much more of them.
Available now on the Smoke Learning Channel on YouTube and coming to iTunes!

What would it be like to communicate with another intelligent species, one not of this earth? Mankind has been contemplating that question since before the concept of "aliens" entered our cultural lexicon. Despite the assertions of religous leaders, empirical scientists and government officials that aliens are not real and that we have not been visited by UFOs, more than 36% of Americans — 80 million people! — believe that aliens, or E.B.E.'s (Extraterrestrial Biological Entities), have visited the earth, with nearly 80% of those surveyed saying that the government is keeping information about UFOs and aliens from the public.
Skeptics can always punch holes in blurry video tapes and eyewitness accounts of aliens, but what if we received a message from a foreign intelligence or intercepted one of their radio transmissions? Receiving such a message or signal is a major plot point of several of the best sci-fi movies, but the strange truth is that we may have already received a signal from an extraterrestrial intelligence.
The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) program is the most ambitious scientific collective dedicated to searching for signs of intelligent life in the universe, boasting 5.2 million participants worldwide. The group uses many different methods for scanning the cosmos for signs of life, but primarily focuses their efforts on looking for radio signals buried in the electromagnetic radiation that bombards the earth at any given moment. The theory goes that a reasonably advanced alien culture would utilize radio waves for communication and they are easy to recognize from background radiation because of their narrow bandwidths and repetitive nature.
While working on a SETI project at the Big Ear radio telescope of The Ohio State University in Delaware, Ohio, on August 15, 1977, Jerry R. Ehman recorded a strong narrowband radio signal that appeared to originate from outside of our solar system. The signal, a full 72 seconds in duration, was in the "protected spectrum" bandwidth reserved for astronomical purposes only, and it was about 30 times greater than the ordinary ambient noise of deep space. Ehman was so amazed by the signal that he wrote "Wow!" on the computer printout, giving the signal its name today.
For years, Ehman and others have searched the same sector of space for recurrences of the signal, but to no avail. The signal remains the longest, loudest signal that the Big Ear telescope would ever receive. Recently, on the 35th anniversary of the Wow! signal, thousands of Twitter messages and videos from celebrities and comedians were beamed into space as a belated response to the whoever or whatever sent the signal. A response to our response is expected to take quite awhile to receive. The nearest stars in the sector it is thought to have originated in are 95 light years away; the furthest are 3.4 million light years away. So, anywhere from 190 years to 6.8 million years. Longest game of phone tag ever!
Inspired Fiction
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Contact (1997), Prometheus (2012)
In Stanley Kubrick's 1968 sci-fi opus, a spacecraft is sent to Jupiter to trace a signal being emitted from a mysterious black monolith discovered on the moon. Though much of the movie is open to interpretation, especially Kubrick's ending, it is commonly believed that monoliths are tools created by an advanced alien race that uses them to assist species in evolving.
SETI features prominently in Robert Zemeckis's 1997 movie about first "contact" with an alien intelligence. The story, written by famed astrophysicist, cosmologist and author Carl Sagan, centers around a signal received from the star Vega that includes thousands of "pages" of technical schematics for a device designed to allow humanity to communicate with a benevolent alien species.
A key plot point of Ridley Scott's 2012 return to sci-fi is the discovery of a series of ancient glyphs that are interpreted to be an invitation from a more advanced extraterrestrial race left behind so that humanity could come and visit them if and when we ever developed space travel. As it turns out, it was an invitation, but not to the kind of party the crew of the Prometheus was expecting to find when they arrived.

If they could have gotten away with it, we bet Paramount would've loved to put a piece of tape over the mouth of every movie critic (like they do to Eddie Murphy on the poster) before any of them could express their opinion of A THOUSAND WORDS.
Since they can't do that, here's a ROTTEN TOMATOES LINK to see just how mouthy crix were in their disdain for this film -- Giving it 2012's only "Perfect ZERO" Rating!
UPDATE from Head RAZZberry: Anyone wondering why Paramount decided not to pre-screen 1000 WORDS for critics need only read this article in the March 8, 2012 Los Angeles Times: LINK.

At its meeting Wednesday in St. Augustine, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission elected Commissioner Kathy Barco, of Jacksonville, to serve as Chairwoman, effective immediately.
"Kathy's dedication to conservation efforts in Florida, coupled with her experience serving on the Commission since 2004, will lead this commission to continued success," said Commissioner Richard Corbett. "My fellow Commissioners and I look forward to working with and supporting her in this capacity."
"I am honored to be elected to serve in this role and grateful to my predecessor for his example to us all," said Barco.
The term of Chairman is one year. Outgoing Chairman Rodney Barreto served as Chairman for six one-year terms: in 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010.
Barco was appointed to the Commission in 2004 by then-Gov. Jeb Bush and reappointed in 2007 by then-Gov. Charlie Crist. Her term on the Commission will expire in August 2012.
Commissioner Kenneth Wright, of Winter Park, was elected Vice Chairman of the Commission. Wright has served on the Commission since August 2007. His term runs through August 2012.
"I am grateful for the opportunity to serve and to support Chairwoman Barco and our Commissioners as we move forward," said Wright. "Our thanks to Chairman Barreto for his steadfast leadership and best wishes as he leaves the Commission."

Marcel Proust
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Marcel Proust was a French writer and critic, born in a tiny mudhovel to miserable but loving parents who fed him nothing but lady fingers, which he later developed an almost pathological fondness for and would eat nothing but the sweet, soft cookies for days on end, a habit which eventually led to his timely death at the age of 102 of malnutrition; in any case, he would delicately dip the end of the cookie in a cup of hot tea, though the tea could not be so hot as to scald the tongue, and then slowly rise the dripping biscuit to his lips, whereupon he would allow himself to take a tiny nibble from the corner before sitting back in his chair with his hands laid over his belly and staring dreamily up at the clouds outside the window, which scurried across the sky like a flock of sheep fleeing from a hungry wolf, who pursued them pellmell across the expanse of the sky, and Marcel would often imagine that he could hear the plaintive bleating of the cloud-sheep as they passed frenziedly overhead, although in real life he had never seen a sheep as they were outlawed in France at the time, and this was a source of great sadness to him that would often make tears well up in the corners of his eyes when he thought of how white and woolly the sheep were that he had seen in pictures in books, and how much he would like to pet one, but unfortunately, as aforementioned, sheep were completely illegal, due to the rise of bestiality in France in recent history, although Marcel certainly was not interested in sheep in that way...although, upon reflection, perhaps he was, a thought which disturbed him so much he would break out of his reverie about sheep and return his focus to the tempting cookie in his hand, for by this time the delicious morsel he had previously ingested would have completely dissolved on his tongue, leaving behind only a tingling sweetness that was both intoxicating and sad, and so he would proceed to again dunk the cookie into his tea, allowing to soak up just the proper amount of liquid before taking another tiny nibble, and he would think about how his Aunt Madeleine, with her kind, hazel eyes, would serve him lady fingers and tea in pretty china cups with soft pink flowers on them, as well as hot buttered toast, which he would not touch, every time he visited her, and then when all the tea was drunk and all the cookies and toast consumed (the former by Marcel himself, and the latter by his aunt), Aunt Madeleine would read to him from the newspaper, for she was not much of a reader herself, but she knew how he enjoyed his literary pursuits, or sometimes the two of them would sit in silence while Marcel pored over a book and Aunt Madeleine relaxed with her knitting, the needles clicking gently against each other like the quiet, constant, soothing tick of the clock on the mantlepiece, and at some point during their long, pleasant evenings together she would look up at that same clock and exclaim over how late it was, and Marcel would reluctantly take his leave from her warm house with its plush furniture and walk the long road back to his parents' miserable hut in the dark, finding his way more by memory than by sight, but Aunt Madeleine had been dead for a long time, her tea parties and the clicking of her knitting needles were gone, and Marcel was alone, but nonetheless it comforted him to know that her memory was being preserved in this small way, this ritual consumption of tea and biscuits, and he would shake himself and suck it up and finish his fucking cookie.

I'm afraid the poor things are totally screwed up in terms of what season they think it is. They aren't hardy, so you can't leave them outside in the cold weather. But at the same time they have just got growing so it's going to be hard to persuade them to go back to sleep until next spring.
Do you have a heated greenhouse?
You could always use the shoots to take cuttings and have more dahlias next year.
No, I do not have a greenhouse. I wondered whether I should pot them in some compost and try and give them a little bit of growth before storing them for winter again?
Yes, that's exactly what ??ou should do
Thanks for the feedback - I potted them up sat them outside and they already have leaves appearing!!

According to ESRB, this game contains: Language, Mild Fantasy Violence, Mild Suggestive Themes
Parents shouldn't have anything to worry about with Final Fantasy IV Advance. The retranslation is more faithful than the kiddy mush gamers were saddled with on the Super Nintendo, but it still hovers at a PG level.
Fans of old school Final Fantasy will probably enjoy Final Fantasy IV Advance, both for the nostalgia value and the added content.
Fans of recent Final Fantasy may not be as blown away as their elder counterparts were back in the day, but they might find it interesting to see where so many of the elements they love got their start.
Fans of console RPGs in general will probably like it as well, but should not expect a cutting edge experience.
Deaf and hard of hearing gamers should not have too big of a problem with Final Fantasy IV Advance. I played a good portion of the game with the sound off and was not hindered at all, although the dramatic aspects may pale slightly since the music picks up so much of the slack for the limited graphics.

Police said preliminary testing indicated the presence of ricin in both letters involving Bloomberg, but that more testing would be done. Police said the threats contained references to the debate on gun laws and an oily pinkish-orange substance.
Last month, authorities in Washington intercepted a letter addressed to Obama that was found after testing to contain ricin. The letter was similar to one mailed to Mississippi Republican Sen. Roger Wicker, which also tested positive for ricin.
Federal authorities last month arrested a Mississippi man suspected of sending the ricin-laced letters to Obama, Wicker and a Mississippi judge.

The thick, fire-fed haze over parts of Colorado poses risks for people with breathing conditions, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment warned, adding that the smoky skies were expected to linger until at least Thursday morning.
As Wednesday wore on, Denver's view of the mountains was obscured, the sky looked like winter and the smell of smoke was inescapable.
Ozone-concentration levels were in the "moderate" to "unhealthy for sensitive groups" range on Wednesday afternoon, especially in the foothills from the south and southwest suburbs of Denver north to Fort Collins, according to the health department.
"If you can see or smell smoke, it is a good indicator to reduce your exposure by going indoors," Jill Law, El Paso County's public health director, said in a statement.

China Blossom is one of the oldest and most popular eating and drinking establishments North of Boston. Since 1960, the restaurant has served the area's residents with premium, freshly prepared traditional Asian cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere inspired by the varied regions of the Orient. China Blossom is trusted by thousands of people every week for its comfortable dining rooms, full bar, private function facilities, and takeout delivery services.
> Click here for hours of operation & contact info
Premium Food & Drink
China Blossom's success of over 50 years has been built on its commitment to premium food and drink. The restaurant uses only high quality ingredients that are fresh and 100% all natural. The menu of over 200-items and the daily buffet are carefully prepared in-house, and China Blossom's diverse and experienced kitchen staff craft nearly all offerings from scratch. Staying true to its philosophy from the day the restaurant was started more than 50 years ago, the bar carries only top-shelf liquors to provide the best tasting cocktails including China Blossom's famous Mai Tai.
An Institution's History Begins with an American Dream
China Blossom's founder Richard Yee was born in China and immigrated to the United States in 1951 to pursue the American Dream. Richard's father and grandfather immigrated just a few years earlier and opened a small take-out restaurant specializing in Chinese cuisine in Haverhill, Massachusetts. When Richard arrived to America as a teenager, he worked in the family business. He knew he wanted to be a restaurateur from an early age and worked every job from dish washer to maitre d' to learn every aspect of the business. He spent time in New York working in restaurants from Manhattan to Westchester County to master his craft.
In 1958, Richard was drafted to the U.S. Army where he learned lessons in discipline and work ethic, which he credits in helping him achieve his version of the American Dream. "That's the great thing about America," says Yee. "You can have a dream and it can come true, as long as you are willing to work hard for it."
Richard opened China Blossom in 1960 on Route 125 in North Andover. With hard work and the commitment to providing excellent Chinese food, exceptional service, and a great value, China Blossom became an instant success.
Still to this day, China Blossom is committed to providing premium Chinese cuisine and exceptional service at an incredible value. The restaurant uses only fresh, premium ingredients in its food and drink. The atmosphere is comfortable, Asian-oriented, and was most recently updated by the same architect who designed the acclaimed addition to the Peabody Essex Museum. Still a family-owned and -operated business, China Blossom remains one of the most popular restaurants in the area.
China Blossom, despite its incredible growth since it first began, intentionally maintains only one location at its site across from the Lawrence Municipal Airport on the corner of Route 125 and Sutton Street in North Andover, just minutes away from I-495. China Blossom is focused on the long-term goal of supporting families, employees, and the people and communities it serves.
Live United. To celebrate its 50th year in business, China Blossom hosted its Anniversary Celebration to benefit United Way of Massachusetts Way and Merrimack Valley. Attendance by China Blossom's closest friends, including many community leaders, raised critical funds for those most in need in our region.
China Blossom was honored to be a recipient of the Family Business Award – First Generation Category. The FBA Awards honors family-owned businesses that have policies and practices that have positively impacted its industries and communities. The FBA Awards for Massachusetts marked its 5th edition this year and over 430 family-owned businesses applied to compete for the ultimate prize in each category.

Under the bus
One of Barack Obama's great attractions as a presidential candidate was his sensitivity to the feelings and intellectual concerns of religious believers. That is why it is so remarkable that he utterly botched the admittedly difficult question of how contraceptive services should be treated under the new health care law.
His administration mishandled this decision not once but twice. In the process, Obama threw his progressive Catholic allies under the bus and strengthened the hand of those inside the church who had originally sought to derail the health care law.
This might not be so surprising if Obama had presented himself as a conventional secular liberal. But he has always held himself to a more inclusive standard.
His deservedly celebrated 2006 speech on religion and American public life was a deeply sophisticated and carefully balanced effort to defend the rights of both believers and nonbelievers in a pluralistic republic.
Obama's speech at Notre Dame's graduation in 2009 was another tour de force.
Obama was also willing to annoy some in his liberal base during the battle for the health care bill by making sure that Catholic institutions do not have to perform or pay for abortions. Rather than praising him for this, the bishops and the Catholic right invented the idea that the health law covers abortion.
It doesn't, as Sister Carol Keehan, president of the Catholic Health Association, insisted at the time. For this brave act, she took much grief from the bishops. That's why it was unconscionable for Obama to leave her hanging out to dry in the latest controversy.
At issue are regulations promulgated Jan. 20 by the Department of Health and Human Services that required contraceptive services to be covered by the insurance policies that will be supported under the Affordable Care Act.
In its interim rules in August, HHS excluded from this requirement only those "religious employers" who primarily serve and employ members of their own faith traditions. This exempted churches from the rule, but not Catholic universities or social-service agencies and hospitals that help tens of thousands of non-Catholics.
As a general matter, it made perfect sense to cover contraception. Many see doing so as protecting women's rights, and expanded contraception coverage will likely reduce the number of abortions. While the Catholic Church formally opposes contraception, this teaching is widely ignored by the faithful. One does not see many Catholic families of six or 10 or 12 that were quite common in the 1950s. Contraception might have something to do with this.
Speaking as a Catholic, I wish the church would be more open on the contraception question. But speaking as an American liberal who believes that religious pluralism imposes certain obligations on government, I think the church's leaders had a right to ask for broader relief from a contraception mandate that would require it to act against its own teachings. The administration should have done more to balance the competing liberty interests here.
And it was offered a compromise idea to do just that by Melissa Rogers, the former chair of Obama's Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. In The Washington Post's "On Faith" forum in October, she pointed to a Hawaii law under which "religious employers that decline to cover contraceptives must provide written notification to enrollees disclosing that fact and describing alternate ways for enrollees to access coverage for contraceptive services." The Hawaii law effectively required insurers to allow uncovered individuals to secure this coverage on their own at modest cost.
Unfortunately, the administration decided it lacked authority to implement a Hawaii-style solution. The Obama team should not have given up so easily, especially after it floated a version of this compromise with some Catholic service providers who thought it workable. Obama would do well to revisit his decision on the Hawaii compromise.
"The tensions and the suspicions on each side of the religious divide will have to be squarely addressed," Obama said back in 2006. "And each side will need to accept some ground rules for collaboration." I wish the president had tried harder to find such rules here.

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), the program that replaced traditional "welfare" (Aid to Families with Dependant Children, AFDC) in 1996, is due for reauthorization by the end of 2010. Under the program, states, territories and tribes receive fixed block grant funds for services, benefits and administrative costs to cover the goals of the TANF program to support and promote families. States have wide discretion over the use of these funds, which include income, child care and transportation assistance, job training, education and other services.
After almost 15 years of implementation and one reauthorization in the 2005 Deficit Reduction Act, TANF remains a flawed part of the nation's safety net for low-income families with children. A key issue with the TANF program is the low participation rate. In 1997, 55 percent of poor children received TANF cash assistance, yet in 2007, only 24 percent received assistance. This drop is caused by a variety of factors: TANF's loss of entitlement status as a government assistance program; an emphasis on reducing TANF caseloads; deflection or discouragement from the application process; difficult work requirements for families to complete in order to receive funds; and a 60-month limit to receive benefits, among others.
Another critical issue is the emphasis on welfare-to-work, a strategy designed to promote employment for TANF recipients. Although an encouraging sound bite, the welfare-to-work emphasis pushes many families into low-wage, part-time positions with little room for upward mobility. Additionally, it is difficult for families with barriers to employment (e.g., disability, domestic violence, limited education or poor access to child care) to comply with TANF requirements to receive funds. Job seekers found it especially challenging to meet the work requirement in an economy with high unemployment during the recent recession.
NETWORK believes that TANF should be a strong part of our national safety net, and has worked in the past to track the program through our 1999 and 2001 Welfare Reform Watch Projects. With upcoming reauthorization, NETWORK is working again to support legislative change to improve TANF. We are currently in the process of surveying low-income families with dependants across the nation. We will analyze and publish our findings in a report about the functionality of TANF in meeting the needs of the most vulnerable member

VANCOUVER, BC -- Abattis Bioceuticals Corp. (the "Company" or "Abattis") (CNSX: FLU), is pleased to announce that further to its news release of October 18, 2012, the Company has now executed a formal License Agreement (the "License Agreement") with Vertical Designs Ltd. ("Vertical Designs") pursuant to which Vertical Designs granted a Bio-Pharma license to the Company which permits Abattis to now grow and produce plants, plant materials and extracts in licensed facilities that it builds in British Columbia utilizing Vertical Design's patented technology. In addition, Abattis may purchase equipment from Vertical Designs for use at such facilities. Abattis retains the sale and marketing rights attached to all products grown or produced by it at these licensed facilities.
Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, Abattis has issued 2,500,000 common shares to Vertical Designs at a deemed price of $0.10/share ($250,000) and will pay an additional $37,000 cash after completion of its next financing. As further consideration, Vertical Designs will be entitled to a 3% royalty on net sales received from the sale of all products grown or produced using Vertical Design's licensed technologies.
Abattis will also spend an additional $213,000 over time, as finances permit, to purchase equipment from Vertical Designs for use at the facilities that it will be building using Vertical Design's licensed technology.With the execution of this License Agreement, the Company continues to deliver on its plan to become a fully integrated bioceutical company that offers cutting-edge proprietary products to the medicinal, nutraceutical and cosmetic industries."We are very pleased to be granted this license and to have a strategy to utilize it to bring maximum value to our shareholders. Laws have changed in the US and new markets are continually opening up. Pharma companies have patents expiring and the Abattis/Vertical Designs capabilities create solutions to these market needs," stated Mike Withrow. "This is another milestone met for Abattis to become the world's first fully integrated bioceutical company and it brings us another step closer to implementing our Grow, Dry, Extract, Refine and Sell (GDERS) model.

We believe this gives the Company a competitive edge in the markets we have identified.

"Times and laws are changing and we believe there is massive need developing as plant-based products appear to be in huge demand globally.

The Blend: Taylor Kitsch on 'The Normal Heart,' Oprah gets Michael Sam And A 'Designing Women' Return!
by Jim Halterman | May 15, 2014 at 11:13 AM | Fashion Police, General, Late Show with David Letterman, LGBT, The Big Bang Theory, The Today Show, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
Since the NY premiere for 'The Normal Heart' was earlier this week, cast members from the upcoming HBO film were making the round at the NY-based talk shows. Here's "Big Bang Theory" star Jim Parsons chatting up David Letterman about the movie and out NFL Player Michael Sam on "The Late Show With David Letterman." Here's what he had to say.
Taylor Kitsch grabbed some time with Jimmy Fallon over at "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" earlier this week and is first surprised when Fallon shows him a picture of a younger Kitsch when he frosted his own hair (true story!) and then they segue into a more serious chat about the actor's role in HBO's upcoming "The Normal Heart." Leave it to Jimmy Fallon to bridge the two worlds with finesse!
Sam added, "Like every player out there working to make a team right now, my focus is on playing football to the very best of my ability…I am determined. And if seeing my story helps somebody else accept who they are and to go for their dreams too, that's great. I am thankful to Oprah for her support and excited to work together." No airdate yet on the documentary.

"Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and the source of employment for many of our citizens. We must give them the chance to borrow larger amounts at lower interest rates with longer repayment periods if we're going to make it easier for these enterprises to thrive." -Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton
Across Latin America and the Caribbean small businesses complain that they cannot get loans. When they can, the rate of interest is often crippling. That is a big "if." Worldwide 75% of small business loan applications are rejected, most for "insufficient" collateral.
Here's the credit trap: In Latin American and the Caribbean more than 70% of small business capital is moveable property – machinery, inventory, fixtures, crops, and accounts receivable -- that cannot be used as collateral because of outmoded laws that only recognize real estate and motor vehicles can be used as collateral.
Countries with growing economies, such as Romania, China, Vietnam and Bosnia, have modernized their legislation to allow businesses to use all their assets as collateral, not just real estate. Small businesses in countries with modern laws on collateral get larger loans, longer repayment periods and lower rates of interest. That means more small businesses will be successful. Successful small businesses in turn bring more jobs and more economic growth. Sounds good, doesn't it?
Secured transaction reform requires a package of changes:
In 2002 the Organization of American States (OAS) adopted model legislation on secured transactions, and in 2009 it approved the regulations necessary to implement the laws. The OAS encourages member states to adopt the Secured Transactions Model Law and Registry Regulations because their enactment "will significantly reduce the cost of loans, facilitate international trade in the region, and assist small and medium-sized businesses throughout the Hemisphere."
Obviously it is up to the legislature of each country to determine if it wishes to modify its laws. The fact is that secured transaction reform is often seen as an esoteric legal issue with no champion advocating it. No one gets excited about commercial law. While the subject may be hard to understand, it is important for growing our economies. Modernizing these laws gives small businesses a greater opportunity to thrive.
Small entrepreneurs are optimists. These shopkeepers, farmers, and taxi drivers believe in the future. They believe in their countries. They are convinced that if they work hard they will improve their lives and future opportunities for their children.
Without modern laws to facilitate credit, small business owners compete with a hand tied behind their backs because they cannot use all their assets as collateral. Let us democratize credit and give them a fair chance by enacting secured transactions reforms.
