Lt. Gov. Jeff Kottkamp Finally Announces Run for Attorney General
Mustached Lt. Gov. Jeff Kottkamp will file paperwork today to kick off his bid for attorney general, becoming the first high-profile Republican to do so. It seems likely, like many of the state races in 2010, the Republican establishment will rally around him, giving him a clear path through the primaries. The conservative wing would have little room to complain if that happened this time either, because Kottkamp is generally seen as more to the right than Gov. Charlie Crist.

Title: Grafting Shumard Oak to Decrease Acorn Bearing Age in New Orleans
Answered by: Mike Tomme
QUESTION:Can a Shumard Oak that is bearing acorns (30 yrs. old)be grafted to a seedling in order to decrease the bearing of the tree in a similar manner as grafting pecan trees? Can it be propagated by any method that decreases the acorn bearing age? I am a Louisiana citrus grower.
As a citrus grower, I'm sure you have a lot more experience with grafting than Mr. Smarty Plants. My bag (can you guess my age from that) is native plants and native plants don't graft. Nonetheless, my interest was piqued and I poked around a little.
I was not able to locate any sources that discuss manipulating acorn production by grafting. I can certainly understand why you would be interested in decreasing the acorn bearing age since, according to the USDA'a web site, Quercus shumardii (Shumard oak) has a minimum seed bearing age of 25 years.
Grafting of oak trees is certainly possible. Here is a site explaining how it is done: How to Graft Oak Trees. There is a brief discussion in a University of British Columbia Botanical Garden Forum about grafting red oaks,which would include Quercus shumardii. One contributor is of the opinion that grafting does not work well within the red oak group.
Give your idea a try and see how it turns out.

Thomas Maier, maker of Advanced Ads, has published an incredibly insightful piece on Smashing Magazine titled ›Lessons Learned From Plugin Support‹.
The whole article is more than worth reading for WordPress plugin providers, as Thomas goes into detail about support for both, free as well as paid plugins, and shares useful tips.
However, this introductory part from right at the top of the article is something every plugin developer should memorize, so perfectly does it sum up what you're in for when you build a business based on a WordPress plugin:
What Is Support?
The main purpose of support is to help people use and understand a product. Therefore, support is not only an email reply or documentation. It extends to the following:
- making features self-explanatory,
- writing understandable labels,
- fixing issues caused by other plugins,
- making the user feel like you are ready to help.
Beside helping others use your product, you also benefit from support.
Read the full article Smashing Magazine:
Lessons Learned From Plugin Support
Honestly, I have no idea how I could not have found this during research for my WCEU talk on plugin UI. Anyway, here it is: Frank Bültge's WordPress Admin Style plugin—an amazing head start on your own plugin UI when you aim to employ default styles of WP Admin.
This article is based on a talk I gave at WordCamp Europe 2016 ("Caring is the coolest thing I've ever seen anyone do."—Thoughts on Plugin UI). If you're interested watching the video, it is available on WordPress.tv.
Several hours a week I answer questions in the live chat feature on the website of a popular WordPress caching plugin. I never would have thought this might help me becoming a better man one day.
Die Leute bei codeable.io haben sich noch einmal das Thema ›Kosten einer Website mit WordPress‹ vorgeknöpft. Nach dem Beitrag von 2015, den ich hier teilweise übersetzt hatte, gibt es nun eine übersichtliche Infografik.
Auch wenn die Preise in US-Dollar angegeben sind – einen Orientierungshilfe und/oder Verhandlungsgrundlage können sie allemal bieten.
WordPress pricing debunked: how much does a WordPress website cost? How much for an e-commerce based on WordPress?

Reading this, again! I love, love, love it!
The only thing that kind of bothers me (being from GA) is that it's more likely he would go to Georgia Tech or the University of Georgia, than Georgia State. Simply because GT and UGA are higher ranking schools and harder to get into, not that Georgia State isn't a great school. But seeing as you were keeping him as a 'city guy', I can see why you didn't take the UGA route. :)
As always, I love your stories, and can not wait for more! Thank you for all of your amazingness!

BRIEF: Comcast launches free mobile security app
Feb 08, 2013 (Boston Herald - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Comcast said today it has launched a new app to help prevent online threats to consumer's mobile devices.
Constant Guard Mobile helps to protect consumers from phishing attempts, identity theft and connecting to fraudulent websites and is available to Xfinity Internet customers for no additional charge, company officials said.
The app also provides a function called Constant Guard Safe Search, which proactively warns customers if a website is considered risky or unsafe, and could potentially be a source of malware.
The app can also be downloaded to iOS devices from the Apple iTunes store. An Android version is planned to launch in the coming months, officials said.

"Excellent... scrupulous and scholarly... It bounds along terrifically" (Guardian)
"Lodge's robust approach, his insights, energy and humour, enable him to present HG as a man not only for his own times but also for ours" (Patricia Craig Irish Times)
"Absorbing and thoroughly enjoyable" (Allan Massie Scotsman)
"David Lodge's novel goes straight to the heart of the story... It is pure fun" (Claire Harman Evening Standard)
Présentation de l'éditeur
Sequestered in his blitz-battered Regent's Park house in 1944, the ailing Herbert George Wells, 'H.G.' to his family and friends, looks back on a life crowded with incident, books, and women. Charting his unpromising start as a draper's assistant to his rapid rise to fame as a writer with a prophetic imagination, his immersion in socialist politics and his belief in and practice of free love, A Man of Parts is an astonishing novel of passion, ambition and controversy.

All these questions appear equivalent to squaring the circle…
Nevertheless, they appear in all Lodge's books, all the more troubling for the hero when questions of religion are added into the bargain (which is not the case here). Some of his answers appear as well: for him, occasional lapses in marital life are not very important, and can even be very useful when releasing some tensions or fulfilling sexual desires which cannot be met within the couple.Lire la suite ›

Nervy in a way because David Lodge's decision to devote a big chunk of his own life researching and writing about Wells was risky. Would his subject be compelling enough to attract sufficient interest to make the effort worthwhile? The answer is, well sort of.
Wells (1866-1946) lived a long, productive life and it comes as pretty much a surprise that as well as being a writer of a hundred-odd books of fiction and nonfiction, the man was a sex machine, a fin de siècle man of many conquests.
Lodge describes Wells as not particularly attractive. Late in life Wells humorously portrays himself in an "auto-obituary" as a "bent, shabby, slovenly and latterly somewhat obese figure." Still, he was as successful in his conquests as a rooster in a henhouse.
Married twice, Wells was a socialist who believed in, was an activist for and practiced free love (ardently and often and with a score or more of women who were married, single, young and not so young, including birth control advocate Margaret Sanger).
Lodge suggests that one of the reasons for Wells' appeal was, strangely, his scent. His longtime lover the writer Rebecca West, nearly 30 years his junior, said he gave off the aroma of English walnuts, and another of his dalliances, the novelist Elizabeth von Arnim, said he exuded the smell of honey. Whatever the reason for his allure, throughout his life when he approached a potential conquest he was usually eagerly received.
I don't know how best to describe the book. It's either a fictionalized biography or a novel that passes itself off as something very true to life. In a front page, Lodge says the truth is "elastic" and nearly everything he writes about Wells is "inferable from" or "consistent with."
The book begins and ends in 1944 at the end of Wells' life when in his late 70s he's ill and in a mood to defend his reputation and define a legacy by talking about his life and works. Between those bookends, Lodge tells his subject's story in flashback.
Wells was not born to privilege. But his origins weren't like something from Dickens either. His father was a shopkeeper and his mother worked as a servant to the more prosperous. He struggled to get an education, worked as a teacher and apprenticed as a draper. He began writing while young and relatively quickly found a following. Money and prosperity followed soon after.
West summed up Well's life this way: "HG was like a comet. He appeared suddenly out of obscurity at the end of the 19th century and blazed in the literary firmament for decades, evoking astonishment and awe and alarm, like the comet of `In the Days of the Comet' which threatened to destroy the earth, but in fact transformed it by the beneficial effect of its gaseous tail."
Wells said of himself, "I want to change the world not just describe it." Whether he succeeded is open to debate. Lodge's life of Wells is long and although the book is interesting I wanted it to be something more, engaging enough to hold my interest page after page and affair after affair. For me it didn't quite measure up.
The book left me with an enduring picture of the values, customs, and concerns of the times, even as these values changed greatly during H.G. Wells' lifetime and changed even more in the 60+ years since his death. One example is the depiction of the sometimes over-serious Fabians. This march of years helps the reader to place oneself in time. Of course, the main focus of "A Man of Parts" is Wells' relations with women and the often farcical results of his pursuits. Lodge's "anonymous interviewer" technique is used now and then to take H.G. to task and try to get him to 'fess up to the motivations behind his behavior with his numerous, not always serial romances. But H.G. is irrepressible and clings to his dignity and somewhat inflated self image, even in the face of contradictions, even in the face of his impending death. A fun read by a writer who is a keen, non-judgemental observer who, even with a nod to absurdity, extends sympathy to his characters. (Book purchased through Amazon!)
Fortunately the reading is light, so it isn't too difficult to make it through the 500+ pages.
Lodge uses his skills to good effect in a "fictionalized" biography (I suppose you could call it a novel of sorts)recreating Wells life. He manages to capture the contradictory nature of a man born in poverty who rose to respect and wealth also defying the restrictions of post-Victorian society having numerous affairs, fathering children out of wedlock. For all of Wells' beliefs about class and its impact in our society, he still believed and often treated women as second class citizens making him both a man of and outside of his time.
Although isn't necessary to have read Wells' books to appreciate this novel it does help to have more than a passing interest in them. George Bernard Shaw once wrote to Wells during a feud over Wells' affairs and the consequences that resulted something very true and which perfectly captures Wells as a person pointing out that while Wells was an expert in the "art of private life" he had not mastered the art of "public life" and recognizing the consequences of his actions.
Lodge's novel is, indeed, a massive book (over 500 pages) but is appropriate for such an influential "character" of the time.
Lodge perfectly captures the essence of the talented, contradictory writer in a novel using his skills as a biographer to excellent effect. Wells had a large hand in shaping the literature of the early 20th century. His "fictionalized" telling of Wells life is witty and insightful; Lodge nicely captures the flavor of the age and Wells role in the public and his private life within the context of the time.
Highly recommended.

Mom prepares to spend first Christmas with kids after years apart in abduction case
CTV Winnipeg
Published Tuesday, December 18, 2012 5:59PM CST
Last Updated Wednesday, December 19, 2012 5:01AM CST
Emily Cablek is getting ready to spend Christmas with her children for the first time in multiple years.
"It's Christmas time and of course I couldn't be more excited to be celebrating it with my kids this year," said Cablek.
Her son Dominic and daughter Abby vanished in 2008 after their father failed to return them from a visit.
Cablek didn't know if she'd see them again.
This spring, officials rescued the children after they were located in Mexico. They were returned to their mom in May.
Their father, Kevin Maryk, faces abduction charges.
"I think it's difficult for anyone to really understand. The kids are home, problem solved - that kind of thing, and it's not that simple," said Cablek.
She said she's overjoyed to have her children back, but there is still a long road ahead for the family.
After four years without schooling, Abby and Dominic are back in classes.
Cablek said the kids are doing well and are making friends, but are adjusting to following schedules and trusting authorities.
"They're amazing children. They're very resilient and I'm really happy to see them moving forward," she said.
Cablek wishes she could do more for her children, but said the family is struggling financially since she's on disability.
Cablek said watching the kids' excitement at seeing snow for the first time in years was bittersweet.
"It was weeks after the snow fell that they had their snowsuits and I felt so upset that I couldn't get that for them right away," she said.
Cablek wishes there was more support for families dealing with similar circumstances and said she's especially frustrated when she compares her situation to systems in place for criminals.
Maryk requested to be extradited from a prison in Mexico back to Winnipeg.
"He comes back to Canada and he's got three meals a day and he's got a roof over his head and taxpayers pay for that," she said. Maryk has a court hearing set for January.
Cablek said for this holiday she's going to focus on the reunion with her children and will also look to the family's future together.

Kitty gets ready to set history "straight", free from the lies of the Conservative media and textbooks!
King President Harry S. Truman, who would dip babies in caramel and throw them to his pet pack of wild wolves, was an unchallenged dictator of the South, which included such states as Florida, South New Hampshire, and Lower Texas. He had his back molars sharpened into additional canines so he could gnaw through his political adversaries.
The vile and evil Southerners were all cruel inhuman monsters who lived to torture their minority "property." When they got done working them to the bone, the Southerners would load up the slaves into a catapult and shoot them from the skies.
The Southerners were able to take advantage of humanity's natural weakness for candy because -- hey, everybody likes candy.

Yes, it's the perfect form for surviving a car crash. But it's also the perfect form for so much more, like surviving the trauma of reading any news headline in 2016.
Thirty games and a novel piece of hardware for sixty dollars? This is an insult to my honor.

Spicy Kale Chips Recipe
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Rinse and pat dry the kale. Make sure you get them as dry as possible, otherwise the kale will soften when it bakes, rather than get crispy.
- Grind all whole spices together, transfer to a small bowl, and add the turmeric, mustard and cayenne.
- On a baking tray with sides, toss kale with olive oil, lemon juice, spices, Parmesan and a dash of salt.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, and enjoy!
Chef's Notes: This recipe is simple but can be a little finicky. Some tips:
- It may seem obvious that you shouldn't underbake or burn the kale, but we wanted to mention that the line here is fine and important. Underbake, and the kale is soggy; overbake, and you've burnt the kale to a crisp.
- While many recipes use lacinato kale (the longer, dark green version) instead of curly kale, we've found that the curly kale retains less water and so doesn't get soggy. If you do love lacinato kale, be sure to pat it very dry.
- Only use the tablespoon of oil. Again, too much and the kale is soggy.
