New BlackBerry Curve 8980 unveiled by the FCC
It looks like the old BlackBerry Curve 8900 will finally get a true successor – it isn't the Curve 3G 9300 / 9330 (already available around the world), but the Curve 8980, an unannounced smartphone that has just appeared over at the FCC.
Like the 8900, the Curve 8980 doesn't feature 3G and comes with a full QWERTY keyboard, GPS, Bluetooth, 3.5mm headset jack, and a 3.2MP camera with flash. The only real novelties seem to be Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n and an optical trackpad instead of a trackball.
The Curve 8980 doesn't run BlackBerry OS 6, but OS 5. Of course, RIM might want to update the handset's OS sometime after launch (or even before it). I suppose it won't be long now before the 8980 is officially announced. Until then, you can check out its Users Manual at the FCC.

Miravet : Michelin's recommendations
Miravet is a small quiet town on the right bank of the Ebro, dominated by the historic outline of its majestic castle, painted on numerous occasions by Joaquim Mir (1873-1940). The village has a medieval air, which is best enjoyed by strolling through its maze of winding streets to the potters' quarter, where many clay objects, including typical pitchers, are still made.

Littleton Police Chief Heather Coogan has announced her retirement effective April 1, 2013. Coogan has been Littleton's Police Chief for more than five years. She holds the distinction of being the first female police chief in the Denver metro area.
Coogan's accomplishments during her tenure in Littleton are numerous. The Littleton Police Department (LPD) opened a 14,000 square-foot expansion in May of 2011 that includes substantial evidence storage and a modern crime lab. Coogan led reaccreditation efforts in 2009 and 2012 from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA), placing the LPD among an elite group of law enforcement agencies meeting the highest professional standards. Coogan served as president of the Metro Chiefs, the Arapahoe Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee, and the Police Officer Standards Training Board. She earned the Lifetime Achievement Award from Rocky Mountain Women in Law Enforcement in 2011.
"I am excited and a little sad to announce that I am retiring but I could not have asked for a better department to live out my dream," Coogan said. "We have accomplished so much together and there is so much to be proud of. It is time for me, after 37 years as an officer and 11 years as a chief of police, to pass the torch to people I believe in and who possess great leadership skills."
An early retirement incentive opportunity was recently offered to all sworn officers in the LPD between the ages of 57 and 65. The early retirement incentive includes the city funding health and dental insurance premiums for the retiree up to the age of 65.
Division Chiefs Robert Brandt and Bill Christensen have also accepted the early retirement incentive effective April 1, 2013. A total of seven LPD employees met the criteria and some of them may also choose to retire.
Coogan, Brandt and Christensen have a combined 72 years of experience with the LPD and 109 years of experience in law enforcement.
"Heather, Bob and Bill have devoted a substantial part of their lives to making Littleton one of the safest communities in Colorado," said City Manager Michael Penny. We owe them a debt of gratitude for their dedication to our citizens and the police department," Penny said.
Starting April 2, 2013, LPD Commander Gene Enley will serve as acting chief of police. Commanders Kim Ferber and Paul Creadon will serve as acting division chiefs. A recruitment process to permanently fill the positions is being developed.

On page 2 they give an explicit formula for the lower bound of the size of the graph.
Summary: We want to find a lower bound for the size of an $n\times n$ bipartite graph which does not contain the complete bipartite graph $K_{t,u}$
The size is at least $c' n^{2-\frac{t+u-2}{tu-1}}$. The article mentions it can be shown by some probabilistic method and refers to an article by Erdos but I cant find any proof in this paper, do you have some ideas?

The Producers Guild of America has picked "The Aviator" as its top feature film of 2004, Daily Variety reported Sunday.
The movie about Howard Hughes topped Miramax's "Finding Neverland," Disney/Pixar's "The Incredibles," Warner's "Million Dollar Baby" and Fox Searchlight's "Sideways" in ceremonies Saturday night at Culver Studios.
HBO took three of the television awards, with "The Sopranos" winning for drama series, "Curb Your Enthusiasm" winning for comedy series and "Angels in America" for longform.
Warner Bros.' syndicated "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" won in variety and CBS's "The Amazing Race" won for non-fiction.
The producers' award, based on voting by the group's 2,000 members, puts "The Aviator" among the top contenders for the Best Picture Oscar award since many PGA voters are Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences members.

JWC TO JEANNIE WELSH ; 17 March 1845; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18450317-JWC-JW-01; CL 19: 44-45
[17 March 1845]
My dearest Babbie
A more vexatious little incident has not befallen me for some time; or rather to speak accurately, I have not for some time committed a stupidity which I have been more annoyed at
On Saturday I wrote you a letter, better or worse, with spirit as ever willing but flesh very weak— I wrote also a business letter to Geraldine—and when I saw the two letters addressed, sealed, and actually ready to be posted, I can assure you that I felt a noble self-complacency; for had I not gained in a small way a triumph over circumstances?— Had you known how sick I had been feeling all the time of writing you would not have wondered at my feeling somewhat triumphant. Well the Sterling1 carriage—which I have the offer of now almost daily came just as I had finished—and being unequal to walking I got in, with my letters, which I deposited in a cursed little pocket of the carriage made on purpose for letters—being forgotten in— And so were mine that day! The like had often happened before, but I had always recollected in time to recover them and send them off— On Saturday however the carriage had set me down and gone its way and the post hour was passed before I remembered what I had done.
Yesterday being Sunday there was no use in sallying forth in the east wind (for the Spirit of Contradiction which consciously or unconsciously rules old Sterling hindered him from coming yesterday just because there would have been some satisfaction to be got from his coming) But I sent a message last night by John2 If the Coachman who is blessed with having not only a head on his shoulders, but a head that accomplishes the purposes for which heads are given us, saw my letters he would post them of his own accord, and so you would still get your intended Godsend yesterday But if he missed seeing them, which is quite possible the pocket being a perfect hiding place as I have said, then you have not got it, will get it perhaps along with this—perhaps not—for it is impossible to predict what new cross purpose this day may bring forth— At all events understand that I have written and am not the abandoned creature that appearances might lead you to believe—
Your affectionate / "Always unfortunate"3
Jane Carlyle
I send you a letter from Betty—which let me have again

Taylor Swift's "Mine" video, directed by Roman White, travels forward in time as it tells a love story from beginning to end. But in its imagery, the clip also goes back in time, referencing some familiar moments in pop culture.
Kelly Clarkson's "Because of You": When Swift's character remembers the fights her parents used to have, her memories mirror Clarkson's attempts to exorcise the demons of her past to find love in her future.
"The Notebook": Granted, any time fans of chick flicks see two good-looking people very much in love, they think of "The Notebook." And like Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams, Swift and her love interest, played by Toby Hemingway, spent some romantic time in a boat.
"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind": "Mine" plays some head games with its viewers, and fantasy and reality are sometimes hard to distinguish from one another — much like the dreamlike ups and downs of the love affair between Joel Barish (Jim Carrey) and Clementine Kruczynski (Kate Winslet) in Michel Gondry's 2004 flick.
"November Rain": The fact that Taylor's wedding scene reminds us of that great scene in the Guns N' Roses video when Stephanie Seymour and Axl Rose emerge from the church is maybe a bit unsettling.
"Love the Way You Lie": Much like in the recent Eminem and Rihanna video, Taylor and Toby have an epic fight in a kitchen. At least they're less dysfunctional than Dominic and Megan.
Britney Spears' Fantasy: Brit's perfume ad features the same "flash into the future" structure after the pop star in question locks eyes with a would-be suitor.
Taylor Swift videos: Yeah, Swift even references herself in "Mine." The video's loose definition of time and space recalls her "Romeo and Juliet"-inspired clip for "Love Story" and her VMA-nominated "Fifteen." This time, however, Taylor's growing up, not looking back.
What pop-culture references have you spotted in Taylor Swift's "Mine"? Talk about it in the comments.

Flash Review 3, 6-12: Sit Down and
Eat; No Exit
Dance and Drama at the Church
By Jenai Cutcher
Copyright 2001 Jenai Cutcher
An evening of performances at Danspace
Project at St. Mark's Church Friday turned out to be a relatively lukewarm dance
experience. In two separate programs, Daniel Safer's production of Sartre's "No
Exit" was preceded by that evening's entry in Food For Thought: six works curated
by Peggy Cheng, which offered little more to chew on than the usual ingredients
of modern dance. The evening of duets was generally comprised of safe and predictable
material in terms of concepts and choreography; disappointing as this was in that
respect, it was -- luckily -- not pervasive enough to overshadow some of its merits.
For example, that these relatively young performers are technically proficient
is a good thing.
This skill was certainly admirable
in Jennifer Chin's "The Simple Story." Displaying impressive strength and extension,
Chin danced with a rope tied around her left ankle that stretched the diagonal
length of the space to the accompanying pianist (Arthur Solari) upstage left.
The string of stuff -- or set, as it is referred to in the program -- was made
by Colleen Kong. Although initially interesting to look at, its purpose never
became clear, nor its presence fully acknowledged choreographically. As it laid,
it served primarily to map out Chin's direction of travel before it happened and
she indeed delivered, with some developes and Graham gestures along the way.
Comparatively, in "Queen," Erin Reck's
most striking image was the dance's first, which was predictably cited again at
the duet's close. A female dancer in a long red gown stood on a white pedestal
in the center of the space and immediately evoked thoughts of Napoleon's Josephine
-- a queen of sorts, I suppose. Sharp arm gestures suggested giving orders, placing
a crown on her head, and other queen-like functions. Perhaps it was the pedestal
and eventual entrance of a second dancer, playing the part of an ethereal guiding
figure for the first, that made me feel I was privy to the world of a museum after
its doors closed for the night. Queen was performed by Reck and Amelia Derezinski.
The last two pieces were both choreographed
by Maura Nguyen Donohue. "Brother" opened with Brian Nishii walking the same diagonal
Chin established at the beginning of the evening. He played the flute as he walked,
stopping both activities as he reached Nguyen Donohue sitting in the corner. The
two dancers then engaged in a series of partnering phrases, some impressive for
the strength they required and ease in which they were performed, others nothing
more than typical lifts seen in many dance pieces.
Partnering differed in style in "Both,"
a work in progress performed in two segments, first by Nancy Ellis and Nicole
Marshall, then by Nguyen Donohue and Nishii, clearly the stronger two performers
of the four. The choreography, influenced by martial arts, was the least codified
movement of the concert and when "Both" ceases to be a work in progress, could
be even more interesting to watch. As it was performed Friday night, however,
moments of contact -- especially bigger and riskier lifts -- were met with flashes
of hesitation that, albeit slight, managed to give the movement away milliseconds
before it happened. Anticipation did this, too, as Nishii's head would invariably
duck even before Nguyen Donohue lifted her leg to kick over it. Still, their attentiveness
and focus were refreshing following many instances of the familiar glazed-over
expressions on other dancers throughout the program.
.... Despite being produced by Danspace
Project and being "directed and choreographed" by Daniel Safer, the late Friday
night production of Jean Paul Sartre's "No Exit" featured no movement outside
the realm of typical stage blocking. Nevertheless, it was a well-crafted theatrical
For Safer and designer Ruth Pongstaphone,
Sartre's existential world of hell existed as a tiny, white Styrofoam layer of
floor in the middle of the space, the surrounding audience acting as a barrier
through which there was no exit. Stark white lights shining down at each corner
conveyed the isolation of the characters while also reminding the audience members
of each others' constant presence. (The glue holding these lights to their plastic
posts melted early on in the performance, causing each to fall, one by one, at
the joints. Although unintentional, this random punctuation of lines and even
the absolute interruption of the production to clean it up was regarded as a welcome
coincidence and perfect illustration of chance in a live theatre experience.)
The cast (Laura Avery, Aubrey Chamberlin,
Heaven Phillips, and Fred Tietz) offered intelligent and complex performances
of intelligent and complex characters. As Inez Serrano, Estelle Rigault, and Joseph
Garcin find themselves locked in the same room for eternity, their dialogue revolves
around concepts of life, afterlife, self-destruction, and the tortured nature
of interpersonal relations. The confident development of such characters and concepts,
especially in such close quarters, was admirable. Deliberately or not, Safer managed
to torture his audience -- at least this member of it -- with expectations of
dance. As the play progressed, I became more and more anxious to see how movement
would be incorporated into it. Waiting for it and eventually attempting to predict
it for the majority of the performance proved futile and, in the end, a major
distraction. Had that anticipation not been there, I would have been free to receive
the production for what it was. But, exactly like those subtle forms of torture
that plagued each character, this agitation lingered in me, just underneath the
surface. Sartre, I think, would have been proud.

Book synopsis
To speak of participation today raises a series of questions on how the presence and use of new media affect modes of social participation. From a variety of theoretical, empirical and methodological perspectives, the contributions in this volume explore participation in different social realms – from everyday life, interpersonal relationships, work and leisure activities to collective and political action. This collection demonstrates that participation is a localised notion, assuming a multitude of shapes under a variety of technological, political, socio-economic, linguistic and cultural conditions.

On his third year in a row playing the Downtown Hoedown, Jerrod Niemann, who loves the festival so much, he tells us that even if he wasn't invited he'd show up, takes a minute backstage on his bus to talk with WYCD personality Steve Grunwald.
Jerrod talks about his latest single "Shinin' On Me" that he wrote with his buddy Lee Brice after hanging out with a bunch of "drunk Texans" following an Aquapalooza show with Brad Paisley in Austin.
"Shinin' On Me" is the lead single off of Jerrod Niemann's upcoming sophomore album Free The Music, set for release October 2nd on Sea Gayle Records/Arista Nashville. You can pre-order the album now.
Niemann tells that the album is titled Free The Music "because since we get the wonderful gift of being able to go in and record albums (with my band), why don't we see what we can get ourselves into. So being a huge country fan, clear back to the 20's and long before the steel guitar (pedal steel guitar) was even invented, there were horns in country music and many other different sounds and layers and was all recorded on old reel to reel tape. So we took that lead, and startin' with the 20's to right now – we gave our interpretations of some of those eras."
Currently on tour with Miranda Lambert and Chris Young, Jerrod tells us he plans own touring "all over this beautiful country, raisin' hades" throughout the year. "Gonna ride Santa's sleigh home!"
Hopefully that 'sleigh' won't have the same trouble as four other country artists have had this year with their buses catching on fire. Jerrod Niemann was one of those four and explains that he was doing a show in Chattanooga and when they got off stage they (Jerrod, his dad and uncle, his manager and Lee Brice) went to the bus and not five minutes later, he smelled what he thought was just the heater kicking on. Lee says "man, smells like your bus is on fire." Lee stepped off the bus to check and discovers the fire. He rushed back on and alerts the rest, "I am not lying – get off the bus, your bus is on fire!" That was the clean version Niemann says. Moments later the bus exploded, "like a Die Hard movie, but no Bruce Willis." Coincidentally, of those four country artist bus fires in the past year, "Lee Brice has been present twice," Jerrod says jokingly.
Touring with Miranda has been a dream for Niemann and his bandmates. "Miranda is so nice to me and Chris (Young) and our guys. She is so accessible, wants everybody to hang out before and after the show. She's a lot of fun!"

Above the Waterfallby Ron Rash
In this poetic and haunting tale set in contemporary Appalachia, New York Times bestselling author Ron Rash illuminates lives shaped by violence and a powerful connection to the landLes, a longtime sheriff, is just weeks from retirement when he is forced to contend with the ravages of crystal meth--and his own corruption--in his small Appalachian town. Meanwhile, Becky, a park ranger with a harrowing past, finds solace amid the lyrical beauty of the North Carolina mountains.Enduring the mistakes and tragedies that have indelibly marked them, they are drawn together by a reverence for the natural world. When an embittered elderly local is accused of poisoning a trout stream on the property of a nearby resort, Les and Becky are plunged into deep and dangerous waters, forced to navigate currents of disillusionment and betrayal that will force them to question themselves and test their tentative bond--and threaten to carry them over the edge.Echoing the lapsarian beauty of William Faulkner and the spiritual isolation of Carson McCullers, Above the Waterfall demonstrates the prodigious talent of an author hailed as "a gorgeous, brutal writer" (Richard Price) and "one of the best American novelists of his day" (Janet Maslin, New York Times). Unforgettable and evocative, tragic and indelible, Above the Waterfall is a breathtaking achievement from a literary virtuoso.

She's been stricken with something the old-timers call "Milk Sickness.""My baby boy..." she whispers before dying.Only later will the grieving Abe learn that his mother's fatal affliction was actually the work of a vampire.When the truth becomes known to young Lincoln, he writes in his journal, "henceforth my life shall be one of rigorous study and devotion. I shall become a master of mind and body. And this mastery shall have but one purpose..." Gifted with his legendary height, strength, and skill with an ax, Abe sets out on a path of vengeance that will lead him all the way to the White House.While Abraham Lincoln is widely lauded for saving a Union and freeing millions of slaves, his valiant fight against the forces of the undead has remained in the shadows for hundreds of years.

The Accidental Vampireby David Lubar
Sebastian is turned into a vampire when he walks home from the movies one night.
Act of Godby Jill Ciment
Jill Ciment's books have been hailed as "stunning," "powerful," and "provocative." Alice Sebold has called her works "beautifully written." Now the author of Heroic Measures ("Smart and funny and completely surprising . . . I loved every page." --Ann Patchett; "Brave, generous, nearly perfect." --Los Angeles Times) has given us a contemporary noir novel that starts out a comedy of errors and turns darker at every hairpin turn. It's the summer of 2015, Brooklyn. The city is sweltering from another record-breaking heat wave, this one accompanied by biblical rains. Edith, a recently retired legal librarian, and her identical twin sister, Kat, a feckless romantic who's mistaken her own eccentricity for originality, discover something ominous in their hall closet: it seems to be phosphorescent, it's a mushroom . . . and it's sprouting from their wall. Upstairs, their landlady, Vida Cebu, a Shakespearian actress far more famous for her TV commercials for Ziberax (the first female sexual enhancement pill) than for her stage work, discovers that a petite Russian girl, a runaway au pair, has been secretly living in her guest room closet. When the police arrest the intruder, they find a second mushroom, also glowing, under the intruder's bedding. Soon the HAZMAT squad arrives, and the four women are forced to evacuate the contaminated row house with only the clothes on their backs. As the mold infestation spreads from row house to high-rise, and frightened, bewildered New Yorkers wait out this plague (is it an act of God?) on their city and property, the four women become caught up in a centrifugal nightmare. Part horror story, part screwball comedy, Jill Ciment's brilliant suspense novel looks at what happens when our lives--so seemingly set and ordered yet so precariously balanced--break down in the wake of calamity. It is, as well, a novel about love (familial and profound) and how it can appear from the most unlikely circumstances.From the Hardcover edition.

When the pox mutates once again, causing even the tamest of baggers to become bloodthirsty monsters, the boy Finn is forced to question his relationship with his dearest, deadest friend.

Cameron has had two big medical bills in the past week. A big dental issue and minor surgery. He is healthy and fine. It's the bill that stresses me.
Money stresses me out.
Cameron works hard to provide for our family. I work hard to fill in the gap. We work hard to spend wisely, give and balance the budget. But too often we end up in the red.
I am tired.
No valentines date. Saving money. Watching our sweet friends' little lady so they can go out!
Adoption money. Ugh. Know it will come. Trying to trust. It stresses me out even thinking about it. But we have sweet friends, customers and an adoption agency who have been blessing us. It will happen.
Tired. Blessed. Happy. Stressed. Blessed. Happy. Tired. Healthy. Tired.
I hate complaining. We are blessed. Just needed to write it out.

Megan, we are spiritual beings on an earthly journey. Stress and financial stress are very "earthly". You are smart and will work through this too.
Megan, sorry for the financial stress! Medical bills are the worst. On one hand we're so blessed to have access to excellent medical care, on the other hand it's expensive!!ReplyDelete

College Hockey:2014 Humanitarian Award recipient Reppucci succeeds with sport-based initiatives
PHILADELPHIA — It was the opportunity to play Division I college hockey that drew Jeffrey Reppucci to Holy Cross, but with his time at the Worcester, Mass., school coming to an end, he's been casting his net out wider.
Much wider.
2014 Frozen Four
Follow all of USCHO's coverage at Frozen Four Central.
He earned this award, bestowed annually by the Hockey Humanitarian Award Foundation and presented Thursday before the Frozen Four semifinals, thanks to his extensive charitable activity, and the skills he's honed at Holy Cross have come in handy in that regard.
"So much of this has been a result of the atmosphere and environment and culture we have here at Holy Cross," Reppucci said. "Being a Jesuit school, we're all about commitment to others, and this idea of mission and service is something that starts at freshman orientation and is part of our athletic life and academic life and extracurricular work all throughout.
"Being in that environment and being surrounded by so many people thinking in the same way of being active in the community, it became natural to start developing these kinds of ideas and start thinking of the world in that way. And once that started, the service community and resources at Holy Cross were incredible for us in helping to make these projects happen."
Reppucci is the founder and president of the nonprofit organization Students Helping Children Across Borders, which has helped raise funds for and execute infrastructural projects in five countries: the United States, Russia, Argentina, Haiti and Uganda.
The inspiration for that project came from a study-abroad trip Reppucci made to Russia during his first year with the Crusaders. During a six-week stay at a university in Moscow, friends the Russian major had made there took him to their hometown of Suzdal — about a three-hour drive from Moscow – and Reppucci was shocked by what he found there.
"They ended up taking me on a trip one weekend outside the city and into provincial Russia and into one of their hometowns," Reppucci said, "And it was just really shocking to me because it was like two different countries.
"Now I was in these very rural, isolated, agrarian towns and something that really stood out was seeing how much of a problem alcoholism is, especially among the youth. And learning about their experiences and visiting schools and seeing this stuff really got me thinking a lot about wellness and health and made me think a lot about being a hockey player and being an athlete and how those experiences have helped me.
"That's where the first inspiration started and made me want to keep in touch with these friends and do my research on these small towns and think about a project and how we could get to know that area and help that area."
Reppucci designed and implemented a $22,000 community-based building project in Suzdal that focuses on fighting alcoholism among local youths by steering them instead toward sports and recreation.
It's not just that town in which Reppucci already has made his mark. With SHCAB, he has raised funds and helped execute new sport-based initiatives for children in several other countries.
More locally within Massachusetts, Reppucci is also the founder and executive director of Working for Worcester, which last year mobilized 540 college students from seven area colleges to construct over $62,000 worth of infrastructural improvements at 12 of the city of Worcester's recreation spaces.
Reppucci, who is listed as a senior defenseman although he served this season as a student assistant coach after being sidelined by an injury, was also a Rhodes Scholarship finalist and was a 2013 Truman Scholar recipient.
His leadership skills also have seen him win several other scholarships in his time at Holy Cross as well as service project grants.
Although Reppucci isn't sure where life will take him in the coming years with grad school and his public service commitments, he is confident scholarships he has earned will allow him to continue on with the organizations with which he's involved.
"This experience really started off just as a cool extracurricular entrepreneurial initiative and ended up in me starting these organizations," Reppucci said, "And it's just turned out to be a pivotal moment in my life.
"It's really changed my life and really showed me what I want to do, to continue working this space both domestic and internationally with these developments. After graduation, I don't know exactly what my long-term first official job or plans will be, but I will be pursuing some of these opportunities through scholarships as well as continuing these projects and looking to keep a lot of these projects alive."
As long as the programs continue running and they stick to their core principles, Reppucci said he feels confident that they will continue to go from strength to strength.
"We started looking into this and thinking about how in order to have sports programs, you need recreation spaces," Reppucci said. "And seeing that as step one in trying to establish positive recreation programs and opportunities for kids, that kind of became a natural starting point for these projects.
"Once we started working, we found that building stuff is a great way to engage the community you're trying to help, so that's been our focus: Mobilizing kids in these areas to not only take advantage of opportunities but to also participate in the creation and take ownership of these spaces and programs, and it's been a great process so far."

Lucy-could I suggest you go out after dark tonight with a torch and you might find the culprit having supper-a lot of these pests are nocturnal feeders,
Left in.
There will be posters here who will tell you they have had many a rose last longer than 12 years as have I-this is news to me
You will be creating a new plant so it will live as long as it lives- as do all cuttings from any other plant-a rose will not be any different-why should it be?
Yes-tying to make a liquid feed from a posionous plant -not sure what effect it will have if any on the garden anyway-means it will have to be handled which may not be wise
Tell him to just stick to comfrey
That is why I went to get the rescue plants wanted something different for the back of the border but didn;t see anything to enfuse-even the stall round the corner had very little and what they had looked dreadful.
This might be ok
What is line of duty about? I think I also have seen a clip but goldfish time
Lunch time- cheese and tomato on toast
Foxgloves in the compost bin I would have thought but having said that the foxglove is only poisionous if you eat it-where has this idea come from-I am a bit puzzled
You may remember how I got a Wilkinsons voucher for complaining about the state of their plants last year?Looked this morning and it seems they have cut down there range completely -very few plants couldn't see any compost lots of boxes of plant food, chemicals, accessories and tools but no bedding plants etc
Slightly confused are you asking how long the new roses from cuttings will survive as new plants-why do you think 12 years?
Purple lavender?
The England "just need a point thing" will be quoted endlessly-what happens in these tournaments if all teams had 0-0 draws?
I knew an old lady who swallowed a fly-in my "I don't want to kill anything" moments I try to encourage them to fly out of the window-but the wind just keeps blowing them back in again

Significant advances have been made in the field of cancer immunology and immunotherapy over the last three decades. An important step forward was the identification of human cancer antigens eliciting spontaneous immune responses in cancer patients. The most immunogenic human cancer antigens known to date belong to the cancer-testis family of antigens, which are proteins expressed in various types of cancer but not in any healthy tissues except germ cells. The aim of cancer immunotherapy is to induce or boost the existing tumor-specific immune response by vaccinating with a relevant antigen together with an adjuvant. Immunization together with an adjuvant will induce a strong and effective immune response or can qualitatively and quantitatively improve existing responses. As selective outgrowth of antigen-loss variants due to immunoediting in vivo may occur during vaccination of cancer patients, singular metastatic failure sites of disease should be surgically removed and tested for antigen expression as antigen-negative (or loss) variants may have survived the pressure of the immune system. At this rather early stage of development, cancer immunotherapy should be offered to cancer patients only within carefully monitored clinical trials of experienced clinical research teams. In addition, it may be rewarding to include patients with early-stage disease in immunotherapy trials, as immunoediting of the tumor and immune escape may be less pronounced. Copyright 2010 S.

Arnold offered no justification. Other famous philanderers have been much more creative
Actor and former governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger's autobiography, Total Recall, is out this week, and guess what? Maria Shriver's soon-to-be-ex is sorry for his affair with the family's housekeeper, which resulted in a son born five days after the arrival of his fourth child with Shriver. The Sperminator kept the boy a secret for more than a decade, denying the child was his when his wife first had suspicions, and only telling her the truth last year. He has also 'fessed up to other affairs during their 25-year marriage. Schwarzenegger has publicly embraced blame: "There are no excuses and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused," he told the Los Angeles Times.
Click next for other creative excuses/explanations from more famously faithless mates eager to justify their transgressions.
Newt Gingrich was unfaithful to a brace of exes before he entered a third marriage swearing fidelity with a resolve as stiffened as wife Calista's coif. His rationale for past behavior? "There's no question at times of my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate," he told The Christian Broadcasting Network last year. Nothing gets a guy hornier than those late nights hammering out a soybean subsidy bill.

Two years ago, when ordained Baptist minister and vocal gay-rights opponent George Alan Rekers was caught returning from a European jaunt with a male prostitute, he had a perfectly reasonable explanation: He'd hired the young man to carry his luggage because he had a bad back. Reckers is divorced with grown children, so technically, he was only cheating on God. And we believe his bad-back story: The guy is obviously spineless.
Woody Allen never wed Mia Farrrow, but spent 12 years with the actress and her famously large brood, including a daughter, Soon-Yi, whom she had adopted with her former husband, composer-conductor Andre Previn. Farrow adopted two more children during her years with Allen, and the couple also had a biological son. Then Farrow discovered nude photos her lover had taken of Soon-Yi, then 20. Shame? Remorse? "The heart wants what it wants," said Allen. No word on the wish lists of other organs.
In 2007, then-Idaho Senator Larry Craig was arrested by an undercover cop "on suspicion of lewd conduct" in an airport men's room. The married Craig (who pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of disorderly conduct) insisted he wasn't nudging the man in the next stall with his foot, or reaching for him under the stall. No, he said, he was just positioning his feet: "I'm a fairly wide guy." Interesting stalling tactics.
Oscar Wilde left his wife at home with their two sons while he was out doing the Wilde thing with Lord Alfred Douglas. Instead of waxing witty about his man-izing, he used subjectivity as an esoteric defense: "Infidelity is an exhaustive subject that always falls short of words," said Wilde, who died in 1900. "And whether it is acceptable or not, depends on the perception of an individual."
Actress Kristen Stewart, caught last summer stepping out on live-in love and Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson, issued a public apology for her dalliance with married director Rupert Sanders: "This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob…I'm so sorry." The most interesting thing about the mea culpa: the dis of the guy she cheated with.

Tiger Woods was playing a round, then playing around. The serial cheater, who entered rehab for an alleged sexual addiction, explained his infidelity to wife Elin Nordegren at a press conference: "I knew my actions were wrong. But I convinced myself that normal rules didn't apply…I felt that I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled… I was wrong. I was foolish. I don't get to play by different rules." Penalty strokes ensued.

We think literature's three most awesome adulteresses have pretty plausible excuses for their misdeeds, but whoa, did they suffer the consequences. A rueful shout-out to Emma "The Boredom of Provincial Life Made Me Do It" Bovary; Hester "I Thought My Husband Was Shipwrecked And Besides It's Cold in Salem" Prynne; and Anna "My Husband's a Stiff, My Social Role is Restrictive, and I Love a Man in Uniform" Karenina (Keira Knightley as the latest film Anna, left).
Caught cavorting with a prostitute, disgraced New York Governor Eliot Spitzer told a reporter, "You gotta say this was an act of stupid hubris." More interesting was the assessment of Rutgers anthropologist Helen Fisher. In a segment of Today, she noted that the mess was his own doing, but added, "All you have to do is look at Eliot Spitzer. He has a high cheekbone and low brow ridges. Those are signs of very high testosterone."

College Hockey:Howe stops 28 as Colorado College edges North Dakota
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — The last time Colorado College celebrated a victory, it was six weeks against ago — against North Dakota.
Friday night, the Tigers (9-12-2, 6-8-1 WCHA) erased a four-game losing streak to claim a 4-3 victory over North Dakota (12-6-3, 7-3-3 WCHA) in front of 11,571 at Ralph Engelstad Arena.
"I thought from the very beginning to the very end, we competed and battled," said CC coach Scott Owens. "We had to against a really good team, and I'm very proud of our guys. It was a good team win."
A tight hockey game for a full 60 minutes gave way to both teams fighting for a victory, but it was Colorado College that was able to propel itself over North Dakota early.
With his first career goal, Jordan DiGiando's snipe from the top of the circle at 2:54 past Clarke Saunders (31 saves) delivered Colorado College its first goal of the game and an early lead.
North Dakota responded at 8:45 with a clean shot from the top of the slot from Danny Kristo that slipped past Joe Howe (28 saves) to tie the score at one and give the team a spark of momentum to carry it forward.
Less than a minute later, Scott Winkler handled the puck in the corner and found Archie Skalbeck in front of the net to award the Tigers a 2-1 lead that held for the remainder of the first period.
"We were moving the puck great in our own end," CC forward Jeff Collett said. "Our defense stepped up big time and helped out a lot, getting the puck up to the forwards and moving it north rather than south."
A checking from behind and game misconduct penalty late in the first period kept Colorado College short a skater — but it wasn't the only side that suffered a loss.
North Dakota's Drake Cagiulla left the game near the end of the first period with an undisclosed injury after being taken down by Mike Bolvin on a checking from behind penalty, to leave both teams looking to fill crucial spaces in the lineup.
"We went down to 10 forwards and had to rearrange things a little bit, but that's part of the game," coach Dave Hakstol said. "It creates some challenges; but quite honestly, we probably had the most jump when we did get down to 10 forwards."
Both teams suffered multiple penalties in the second period, making it difficult to capitalize on chances in the zone.
At 13:29, Nick Mattson rushed toward a puck sitting just before the goal line behind Howe and tipped it in to again tie the teams on the scoreboard, but it was overshadowed by William Rapuzzi's power-play goal into the net that put the Tigers up 3-2 just minutes later.
North Dakota harnessed what energy it had succeeded in finding early in the third period to allow Mark MacMillian to pick up the puck in the neutral zone and skate hard toward the net while enduring a slash. He then proceeded to slip the puck inside the post before falling down at 2:44 while scoring the game-tying goal.
"It was a good play off the rush, good individual effort," Hakstol said. "We sustained it for probably five or six minutes after, but didn't sustain it throughout the remainder of the period."
An all-too-familiar fight for the winning goal that both teams witnessed in their last meeting prompted Colorado College to stray away from the outcome that it experienced last time.
The Tigers redirected the game in their favor as Scott Wamsgamz's shot found Jeff Collett at the top of the crease to put the puck in the net to seal a 4-3 victory.
"I'm sure there's been a little bit of doubt," Owens said. "It's been a tough six or seven weeks — including against these guys. We were determined and obviously it's an understatement to say it's a much-needed win; but we did a lot of little things well today."

Samsung ICS Update
I guess Christmas is early for the Samsung fans as Samsung has officially confirmed about the much anticipated Samsung ICS Update for its Galaxy series of devices. The news was no surprise, but a delight to the owners of the devices. The top smartphone of the year 2011 is the Samsung Galaxy S2, but it is still on Gingerbread and its users will be desperately hoping for an ICS update. The latest Samsung ICS Update official news should satisfy them.
Samsung ICS Update – Devices Supported
Since this is just the first batch of updates, Samsung has been very careful in naming the devices that will get the Samsung ICS Update. The Galaxy Nexus, manufactured by Samsung already runs on ICS. The first two devices that will be getting the update are Samsung Galaxy Note and Galaxy S2. Then the lineup of the Galaxy series of tablets which includes Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Tab 8.9, Galaxy Tab 7.7 will get the Samsung ICS Update. Another couple of phones that will be getting the first batch of Samsung ICS Update will be Galaxy S2 LTE version and Samsung Galaxy R.
Samsung ICS Update – When? Where?
The exact dates have not been announced though. Samsung has said that the updates will begin rolling out in the Q1 of 2012. The only problem that will concern the users is that the updates will be available only region by region and based on carriers. This means that the users in less lucky part of the world have to wait longer for their devices to get the Samsung ICS Update.

The USD 480 board met Monday night and adopted a pilot reading program for students in kindergarten through sixth grade. The Kansas Reading Initiative computer program will be instilled to help kids who need extra help with their reading. If a teacher sees that a student needs extra help, the teacher and the Lexia 5 program will be used to help students get up to par with their reading. The state of Kansas pays for the program which will be utilized for the next five years.

For Good
Financial Literacy Tour
Our Financial Literacy Tour uses the power of a live rock performance and our own personal story to inspire young people with lessons of finance and discipline to help them see their own dreams as possibilities.
Through a concert, multimedia presentation and talkback, we discuss predatory lending, the danger of credit card debt, saving early and looking to students' own communities for support and mentorship, while exposing the myth of rock stars, athletes and actors who sell the false image of overnight success.
Students who do not receive this message early often drop out of college and return to the same cycle of financial irresponsibility as their parents. Children from lower income households and un-banked families are especially at risk.
We seek corporate sponsorships to fund our FinLit Tour. Our sponsors include US Bank and in Wyoming, and Credit Union of America in Kansas.
When corporate sponsorship funds are not available, and there is little or no school budget, our program is funded by Funding the Future, Inc. Funding the Future (FTF) has goals that are similar to our FinLit Tour, and it has been active in ensuring we are able to perform whenever there is an opportunity for presenting our program to students.
We are officially registered as a nonprofit and donations can be sent to Funding the Future at the address below.

"I am delighted to recommend to anyone wanting to help communicate about financial literacy to almost any audience, that they use the services of Gooding. Their method, delivery and message is timely and important and they give it in just the right way – never preachy or academic – just real.
Mark Gordon
Wyoming State Treasurer/Former Director of Federal Reserve Bank, Kansas City
"Gooding's message has more potential to impact and influence masses of young people than any financial literacy lesson in our curriculum. His 'cool factor' cannot be matched by any ordinary teacher, preacher, parent or banker. His message is sincere, void of any pretension and potentially life changing. I can't wait for my own children to learn from him!"—Michele DeHoff, Assistant Vice President, Cheyenne Business Banking Relationship Manager, U.S. Bank.
"A very unique, effective way to educate kids…a rock band that speaks to financial responsibility and its importance! Gooding reaches students that a 'coat and tie' can't!"— Steve Lovas, Regional President, U.S. Bank
"I've been amazed at the quality of questions coming from students at the end of each show and the follow up comments and questions seen on social media. The tour truly is making an impact on many lives." —Stacy Mahany, Youth and Education Co-ordinator, Credit Union of America
"The Gooding music and message are exactly the relevant communication we were looking for. This is the type of programming that will kick off our next 100 years and continue to build character and responsibility in our girls."
—Gretchen DiGiovanni, Director of Development of Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland
"Gooding and his band were a HUGE hit at our school. He combines a very down-to-earth message with humor and sincerity. Very relevant but still a lot of fun. Our students were immediately able to relate to him. We will definitely have him back." —Noel Friedline, Lecturer in Music, University of North Carolina, Charlotte
"Gooding did an outstanding job blending the importance of financial management with the achievement of the students' long term goals. To weave that into a concert that the kids absolutely loved proved to be a huge success." –Mike Wampler, SVP, Technology Division Manager, Emprise Bank
"The music and prestige of the band hooked the students from the beginning, so when the message was presented, they were attentive and excited. They enjoyed themselves and walked away with a better understanding of financial literacy and how it affects their lives." —Christie Radford, Asst. Principal/Curriculum-Testing Director, Goodard High School
