Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?
A: There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green Guru's secret identity.

Title: Eliminating Claytonia virginica in Varna IL
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:How do I get rid of or control Claytonia virginica? It is starting to take over my lawn.
This is a toughie, because I was unable to find any negative comments on Claytonia virginica (Virginia springbeauty), or ways to get rid of it. According to this USDA Plant Profile, it is native to just about all of Illinois, including Marshall County. You are in USDA Hardiness Zone 5a, which is well within the tolerance of Spring Beauty, hardy from Zones 2 to 9. We even have some growing in Travis County, where the Wildflower Center is located, but Central Texas is really not what I would call a cool, moist woodland. We found this site from Illinois Wildflowers Spring Beauty, which, again, had nothing but nice things to say about the plant, which grows from small potato-like corms. Dave's Garden, a garden forum, also had mostly positive comments on Claytonia virginica.
We really can't even recommend any sort or herbicide, because the use of it would threaten other plants around the ones you want to get rid of, but not put Spring Beauty into any particular danger because it can regrow from those corms in the ground. According to our page on this plant in our Native Plant Database: "Plant disappears from above ground shortly after the seed capsules have ripened but does not leave a large gap in the garden." Speaking from very hot and dry Texas, we would think it would be lovely to have flowers beginning to bloom in the depths of Winter, and then disappearing until next year.
In view of the way the plant propagates itself, we would recommend first that you mow the lawn pretty low while these flowers are blooming, both preventing the re-seeding and also denying the nourishment of the leaves to the corms below ground. Second, if you don't want it in your flower beds, digging out that corm, which is about 3" deep, and continuing to do so until it gives up and starves is about the best bet.

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/13/09 -- WebLayers, Inc. today announced the company has secured $3 million in a new equity round of funding from Ascent Venture Partners, Cedar Fund and Veritas Venture Partners with a contingency for additional funds if required. Additionally, the WebLayers Board of Directors has appointed industry veteran Jeff Papows as president and CEO. Further, to accommodate the company's continued growth, WebLayers has relocated its headquarters.
WebLayers develops software and provides related services to help businesses of all sizes realize greater efficiencies, reduce costs and improve productivity through automated governance of service-oriented architectures (SOA). Founded in 2002, WebLayers has realized continuous, double-digit revenue increases and is poised to reach the next level in its growth as evidenced by the additional funding and appointment of Jeff Papows as president and CEO.
"The WebLayers board and investors are thrilled to have recruited Jeff Papows as chief executive officer," said Geoff Oblak, general partner at Ascent Venture Partners. "Jeff has a phenomenal track record of success in building emerging technology companies into established market leaders. He has the ideal experience and skill set to accelerate WebLayers' success."
With more than 25 years of industry experience, Papows has a proven history of success in both emerging companies and global organizations. Most notably, Jeff was president and CEO of Lotus Development Corporation where he is widely credited for taking Lotus Notes from its initial release to sales of more than 70 million copies worldwide, making it the leading collaboration platform. Upon the acquisition of Lotus, Jeff helped steer the company's successful integration into IBM. Jeff was also president of Cognos Corporation, taking the business intelligence software provider from its early stages to sustained profitability, a successful public offering and years of continued growth that met or exceeded market expectations. Most recently, Jeff was the president and CEO of Maptuit, a provider of real-time commercial navigation software. Having led Maptuit to profitability and a market leadership position, Papows will continue to play an active role in the company as Chairman of the Board.
Papows has been a frequent guest of CNN and Fox News and as a successful author, Jeff's book, "Enteprise.com: Information Leadership in the Digital Age" has sold more than 80,000 copies and has been reprinted multiple times in several languages. He holds a Ph.D. in Business Administration as well as having earned a Master of Arts degree and a Bachelor of Science degree.
"I'm much like any tech industry veteran today where after a quarter of a century I've heard thousands of interesting ideas, saw the birth of hundreds of new companies and yet can recount only tens of sure-fire winners like WebLayers," said Jeffrey Papows, president and chief executive officer, WebLayers. "The appeal of WebLayers goes beyond its ability to proactively identify and address potential business issues before they become liabilities. Underscoring WebLayers' proven technology is a growing customer base consisting of scores of Fortune 500 companies and expanding partner network. These aspects, combined with the increasing industry demand for SOA governance, presented an opportunity to help lead the company into its next phase -- an opportunity that I couldn't resist."
About WebLayers
WebLayers provides the industry's most comprehensive design-time governance platform available today. By centralizing policy management across multiple IT domains from SOA through mainframe, WebLayers substantially reduces the costs associated with governance. WebLayers also offers the largest collection of industry-proven policies, including extensions for industry standards including insurance, manufacturing, and finance, which speeds governance implementation and enforcement from design-time through deployment.

Outstanding 4.6 /5 from 29 reviews
Exceptional Hotel in a picture perfect town. Brand new, clean, tasty breakfast and the most friendly and efficient staff. It beats any 3 and 4 stars hotels I have been before. Located on the gorgeous river promenade at the city centre.
The Windsor is a lovely hotel with a great location mid way between the train station and the tourist centre of Merano. The owners are extremely helpful and the breakfast they provide is excellent. Room fittings are modern and stylish. As Merano prices go the cost is not unreasonable. We would definitely stay again.
We had a great stay at this family run hotel. Our room was clean, comfortable and well soundproofed to sleep at night. The breakfast area, inside and out was practical and relaxing, and the staff worked hard to look after their guests. An outdoor pool seems relatively unusual that close to the centre of town, and the hotel is on one of the main "promenades" in Merano. The centre of town is only 2-3 blocks away along the river promenade, passing a good gelato store on the way. The family and staff work hard with guests in what is already a multilingual area - so German, Italian and English are all catered for. They have plenty of ideas of things to do, and the discount connection with local restaurants is useful for those just arriving. Finally, the Merano card that is provided gives free access to public transport and museums as well as other discounts, including to the Themes. Tremendously useful in conjuction with timetables and maps and leaflets also provided. Thank you everyone for our pleasant stay. We recommend the hotel and the area.
Staff were very friendly and helpful, air con in room was very welcome as it was very hot outside, close to all amenities (such as train station and Meran centre) and they're one of the few places to serve a decent cup of tea outside the UK.

Rice's Recipe for Duck Soup
Whether Georgia or Russia has sovereignty over Abkhazia and South Ossetia really doesn't matter in the long run.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice deserves credit for knowing how to make good use of a bad historical analogy. Where any other Republican Secretary of State would have chosen the Munich analogy to denounce the current Russian military intervention in Georgia, Rice reminded her audience of the Soviet Union's invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 during a press conference on August 13: "This is not 1968 and the invasion of Czechoslovakia, where Russia can threaten its neighbors, occupy a capital, overthrow a government, and get away with it.," she said. "Things have changed."
What merits attention is that Rice did not draw an actual parallel between 1968 and 2008. Instead she simply conjured the image of the Soviet Union/Russia as bully. That was smart, because the two events are so fundamentally dissimilar.
First, there was no territorial dispute involving minority ethnic regions in Czechoslovakia whose people preferred to be part of the Soviet Union. Majorities in both Abkazia and South Ossetia appear to prefer being part of the Russian Federation rather than the Republic of Georgia. Second, Czech President Alexander Dub?ek did not deliberately provoke the Soviet Union into a punishing military response by ordering the Czech army to attack Soviet peacekeepers. Georgian President Mikheil Saak'ashvili deliberately provoked the Russians by ordering his U.S.-trained Georgian army to attack the handful of Russian peacekeepers in South Ossetia, killing 10 and wounding 30. He did that despite knowing that the Russian 58th Army was stationed just on the other side of the border.
If Secretary Rice had wanted to offer a proper historical analogy, she could have compared the current conflict with the 1864 Second War of Schleswig by which Schleswig and Holstein, two provinces with ethnic German populations, were detached from the insecure grasp of Denmark and then annexed to Germany. That was the first of several successful limited wars by which the brilliant Prussian Chancellor Otto von Bismarck finally unified Germany and then established it as a Great Power.
It is unwise to encourage the masses to wonder why their political elites are so agitated about the ownership of some distant smear of color on the world map.
Neo-realist international relations scholars interpret the current conflict as another step in Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's strategy for the reemergence of Russia as a Great Power by asserting power in its traditional sphere of influence. Rice is obviously unlikely to deploy this historical analogy. First, only a fraction of her American audience will know the historical reference or have ever heard of Schleswig and Holstein. Even mentioning it risks alerting them that whether Georgia or Russia has sovereignty over Abkhazia and South Ossetia really doesn't matter in the long run.whether Georgia or Russia has sovereignty over Abkhazia and South Ossetia really doesn't matter in the long run. It is unwise to encourage the masses to wonder why their political elites are so agitated about the ownership of some distant smear of color on the world map. Worse, Rice would appear too much the smarty pants intellectual for the sort of populist conservative who seeks political wisdom from the likes of Jeff Beck and Toby Keith. And that could be a negative for any plans she might have for a future political career. Second, comparing the two little wars would suggest that Putin was on a par with Bismarck. She can't have that. After all, history will deem the president she serves anything but a strategic genius, and she has played a major role in helping him squander so much of America's power in the world.
There may be no good historical parallel for the disastrous decision-making of Georgian President Saak'ashvili. Instead, a cinematic reference is necessary.
Listening to Saak'ashvili's rambling performance during a August 15th joint press conference with Rice is like watching the immortal Groucho Marx perform in the 1938 Marx Brothers' comedy "Duck Soup." Groucho's character is Rufus T. Firefly, the new President of Freedonia, who snatches war from the jaws of peace by insulting the ambassador of neighboring Sylvania and thus torpedoing a negotiated peace settlement. As the Freedonian army collapses and the Sylvanian army closes in on the presidential palace, Firefly goes on the radio to plead for international assistance:
"Calling all nations! Calling all nations! This is Rufus T. Firefly...(We're in a mess folks!) Rush to Freedonia. Three men and one woman are trapped in a building. Send help at once."
Here is Saak'ashvili fulminating at the Russians during an August 15th joint press conference with Rice:
What deprives the Georgian Firefly's performance of its comedic punch is that his decisions resulted in the deaths of actual human beings and made refugees of many more. That, and the fact that he seems unstable.
If there is a silver lining to the dark cloud that is this absurd little war in the Caucuses it is that more Americans may begin to question why the Bush administration would endorse making Georgia and neighboring countries members of NATO.
If there is a silver lining to the dark cloud that is this absurd little war in the Caucuses it is that more Americans may begin to question why the Bush administration would endorse making Georgia and neighboring countries members of NATO. What they will be asking is whether it makes sense to obligate the U.S. armed forces to defend their political elites from the consequences of their irresponsible actions. How often will Americans have to watch the leader of a NATO "ally" on the borders of Russia appear on television to deliver an unfunny version of Grouch's lyrics?: "Tell them the enemy comes from afar, with a hey nonny-nonny and a ha-cha-cha."

Young fingers on the trigger Premium31 July 2014 | by John Morrish | Comments: 0
Kids and Guns, Channel 4What would Channel 4 do if we suddenly lost our desire to look down on the Americans? Kids and Guns (31 July) was another run-of-the-mill exercise in moral superiority. It showed us several US families who had introduced their children to gun sports; with fatal results, in one case. The voice-over even-handedly noted that many Americans won't even let their children have toy firearms. But the film wasn't about them. A montage at the front of the programme set the scene: Christmas videos of little children unwrapping firearms, and a TV commercial for a product called "My First Rifle". Every year, 3,000 children are killed or injured in shooting accidents. An ex-soldier called J.D. lost an arm and both legs in Afghanistan.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Dec. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), announced today that Call of Duty®: Black Ops II has crossed the $1 billion mark in worldwide retail sales, according to Chart-Track retail customer sell-through information and internal company estimates. Illustrating the strong appeal of interactive entertainment to audiences worldwide, the game achieved this milestone in just 15 days after its launch on November 13, 2012. Last year's Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare®3 reached $1 billion in retail sales in 16 days. The box office record set for feature films in 2009 by "Avatar" was $1 billion in 17 days¹.
"The release of Call of Duty® has been one of the most significant entertainment events of each of the last six years," said Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard. "Since Call of Duty was launched, cumulative franchise revenues from players around the world are greater than current worldwide box office receipts to date for the top-10 grossing films of 2012 combined. Life-to-date sales for the Call of Duty franchise have exceeded worldwide theatrical box office receipts for 'Harry Potter' and 'Star Wars,' the two most successful movie franchises of all time."
Since the game's launch, more than 150 million hours have been logged online playing Call of Duty: Black Ops II on Xbox® LIVE® and PlayStation Network.
"Entertainment franchises that captivate audiences for as long as Call of Duty has, on the scale that Call of Duty has, are very rare things. And it takes a lot of brilliant people working across many different disciplines to make it happen. It is incredibly humbling and gratifying to be a part of," said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. "In order for Call of Duty to remain the entertainment juggernaut that it is, and keep our fans coming back for more, we need to continue to bring fresh ideas and new innovations to the table every time, while always staying true to what people fell in love with in the first place. That's what we did with Call of Duty: Black Ops II, and that's what we intend to keep on doing. This is an incredible milestone for an incredible franchise, and I want to thank every passionate, talented, committed person on our team who made it happen."
Call of Duty: Black Ops II is available at retail locations worldwide on the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Wii U™ game system from Nintendo and Windows PC. The game is rated "M" (Mature – Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Strong Language, Suggestive Themes, Use of Drugs – content suitable for persons ages 18 and older) by the ESRB.

White Ferns thrashed by India in Mumbai
Relevant offers
New Zealand have been hammered by hosts India in the first of two women's World Cup cricket warmup matches in Mumbai, giving a clear and timely reminder that they won't be able to focus on bigwigs England and Australia alone.
The White Ferns collapsed late in their innings to be all out for 201 in 47.5 overs before India cruised to victory, reaching the target for the loss of just two wickets and with a whopping 6.3 overs to spare.
New Zealand headed for India buoyed by a 2-1 Twenty20 series win over Australia in Melbourne last week, their first series triumph on Australian soil for 26 years, and confident of breaking up the England-Australia dominance of major trophies in women's cricket during the past eight years.
But India showed they will be a handful on their home turf in the 50-over World Cup, and with the West Indies also now a major threat in the women's game, the White Ferns will need to have eyes in the back of their heads during the coming weeks.
The Ferns had built a useful platform to launch from at 160-4 after 36 overs, thanks to 69 from 101 balls from allrounder Frances Mackay and 56 from 66 from Sara McGlashan, but they lost four wickets for seven runs off the next four overs and limped through to 201.
Opening bowler Jhulan Goswami did most of the damage for the hosts, with 3-26 from eight overs.
India had few troubles in the chase. Punam Raut (69) and Thirush Kamini (43) put on 119 for the first wicket at close to five runs an over before captain Mithali Raj (36 not out) and Harmanpreet Kaur (46 not out) finished the job off with 39 balls in hand.
New Zealand are scheduled to play another warmup

Many people think of WordPress as a simple blogging platform, but this flexible content management system (CMS) has a deep catalog of free and premium themes and plug-ins that make it the backbone supporting millions of websites, including high-profiles ones like CNN, Grantland, and TED, as well as small business sites and even personal blogs. If you've thought about creating a WordPress-powered site for business or personal use, you should consider going the managed WordPress Web hosting route.
Managed WordPress Web Hosting Explained
Managed WordPress hosting uses a platform that's designed specifically for WordPress. In fact, the CMS comes preinstalled—you don't have to download and set up a WordPress installation as you'd do when using a traditional Web hosting environment. Managed WordPress hosting behaves very much like any other self-hosted WordPress installation, giving you the freedom to install nearly any theme or plug-in. That said, some managed WordPress hosts have a short list of restricted plug-ins that may negatively affect your site's performance or duplicate features already built into the managed setup.
Please understand that not every Web host offers managed WordPress hosting—it isn't a ubiquitous feature. For example, Dreamhost boasts managed WordPress hosting, while HostMonster does not.
Managed WordPress hosting prices are all over the map. Entry-level plans will cost roughly that of shared Web hosting, but higher-tier plans can scale upward to around $60 per month. The upside? Your WordPress installation should run more smoothly in a managed WordPress environment than in a traditional hosting environment. In addition, going the managed WordPress route may save you money, as you don't need to pay for a system administrator to perform the same job. This is particularly beneficial to small businesses.
Dozens of companies offer managed WordPress hosting, including traditional Web hosts like DreamHost and Media Temple. Other companies, such as Pagely and Pressable, base their entire business models on managing WordPress installations.
Companies that offer managed WordPress Web hosting provide daily website backups, automatic plug-in updates, page caching for faster site load times, malware detection and removal, and—last but not least—WordPress-centric security options. Security is critically important. As one of the world's largest content management systems, Wordpress is a high-profile target.
In short, a managed WordPress installation gives you a few less things to worry about when creating content or reaching out to potential customers.
The Features You Need
Before you sign up for a managed WordPress Web hosting service, you should look for these attractive—and possibly essential—features. Ideally, you'll want to invest in a managed WordPress host that provides unlimited monthly data transfers, email, storage, and 24/7 support. There are quite a few managed WordPress Web hosts that place caps on those features; WP Engine, for example, limits sites to 400,000 visitors and a paltry 30GB of storage. If you expect lots of site growth, you'll want a host that can properly accommodate your website's future expansion.
Additionally, you'll want a service that offers Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) if you plan to sell products. Ever see a green padlock in your browser's address bar while you're on your bank's website? That's the symbol that tells visitors that SSL is in place. It's a symbol of trustworthiness.
An SSL connection encrypts the data that travels between your site and users' Web browsers, thus safeguarding the transmission of purchasing information. All the managed WordPress hosting services in this roundup offer SSL certificates, but the prices vary from company to company. Some companies include a free SSL certificate when you sign up for a hosting plan, while others charge close to $100.
You'll also need to consider how long you'll need managed WordPress Web hosting. If it's a short-term project—say, less than a month or two—you'll typically receive a refund should you cancel your hosting within 60 days. Some companies offer 30-day money-back guarantees, while others offer 90-day money-back guarantees. Once again, it's beneficial to do your homework.
Naturally, your Web hosting needs will differ from the next person's, but keep these features in mind if you want a silky smooth managed WordPress experience.
Uptime Importance
The aforementioned features are valuable to the Web hosting experience, but none matches the importance of site uptime. If your site is down, clients or customers will be unable to find you or access your blog or your products or services.
We've added uptime monitoring to our review process, and the results show that the most Web hosts do an excellent job of keeping sites up and running. Web hosts with uptime issues cannot qualify for inclusion among the best services in the field, no matter how solid their rest of their offering is.
Do You Need Managed WordPress Hosting?
Managed WordPress hosting isn't a one-size-fits-all option. If you're a system administrator, or someone who's familiar with the ins and outs of WordPress, you can manage a WordPress installation yourself. That's important to note, because some of the managed WordPress Web hosts we've reviewed are significantly more expensive than non-managed WordPress Web hosting. It's wise to shop around.
Also, a managed WordPress environment won't allow you to set up a non-WordPress site—that's something else to keep in mind, especially if you have a site in mind that will rely on specific Microsoft frameworks, for example. In such instances, you'll want to go build your site on shared, VPS, or dedicated Web hosting services.
Still, if you'd rather just create posts, pages, and galleries, managed WordPress hosting is an attractive option. We've reviewed many managed WordPress hosting services and included the best of the bunch in this guide. The chart above, which includes traditional Web hosts that offer managed WordPress hosting and dedicated managed WordPress services, gives you a quick overview of the features you can find with each service. If you want a more in-depth look at managed WordPress hosting services, take a look at the blurbs—and links to full reviews—below.

2002 Lexus SC body kits are custom exterior accessories that can be installed to upgrade and rejuvenate a ride's look. After years of wear and tear, the exterior components on many cars begins to look outdated. Any damage to a car's paint job or to the exterior components themselves can depreciate a car's market value, making the use of bodykits is just that significant. A bodykit can make a vehicle look better, without ever changing any of the mechanics of the automobile.
Some custom 2002 Lexus SC body kits products include replacements for a couple of exterior components, bumpers and side skirts. These are the areas of a car that are often damaged from daily driving, but these aren't the only parts that could be easily fixed.

Do you have any Paranormal abilities . . . ?
Poster Handle
Post Content
No, but I seem to attract something that teleports.
I know this...because as soon as I start to say something aloud, like for example "What did I do with that -insert object-", then precisely within a second I'll turn around...and it'll be somewhere that I have no recollection having put that said object there...in the first place.
So I'm rather convinced, it's worth it to at least say something aloud at this point...but by far and large, this is far worse than a little beer out of the glass overnight, or sugar from the bowl, it's quite frustrating to say the least. Prankster, almost.
Now when you say paranormal, I'm just saying...what's normal to me at this point, is nothing more than perhaps, a joke to someone else. I'd probably say something like... "but I thought everyone could do that".
Call me ignorant, I don't even think it's all that super. To me, it's mostly more of the same, different day.
Finer Force
When it happened to me it was amazing because I kept all surfaces clear and I would set down one thing, gone today here tomorrow. You may have ETs saying hello. Glad I am not alone.
