Police conduct sobriety checkpoint
BERLIN Several law enforcement agencies conducted a sobriety checkpoint Friday on Route 302 in Barre.
The agencies included the Washington County Sheriffs Department, Vermont State Police, and police departments from Berlin, Montpelier and Northfield. At the checkpoint, 449 vehicles were stopped, and contact was made with 740 people.
Police say 18 warnings were issued for motor vehicle violations and nine violation complaints were issued.
Jimmy D. Gwara, 40, of Montpelier, was cited on a charge of driving with a suspended license. He is to appear in Washington County criminal court at a later date to answer the charge.
No one was found to be driving under the influence.
Police say more saturation patrols and sobriety checkpoints are planned for the upcoming Labor Day weekend.MORE IN This Just In

The Minimum Wage In Colombia1984-2001: Favoring The Middle Class With A Bite On The Poor
This paper exploits the long history of the minimum wage in Colombia in order to see whether it has im-proved the living conditions of low income families and reduced income inequality. This paper also ex-plores how the minimum wage may have distorted market outcomes in the process. We fi nd signifi cant negative minimum wage effects on both the likeli-hood of being employed and hours worked among household heads. The negative effect is strongest for women, the young and less educated people. For non-head household members, we fi nd that a rise in the minimum wage signifi cantly increases labor participation, reduces hours worked, and increases the likelihood of being unemployed. Most impor-tantly, we fi nd evidence that the minimum wage ends up being regressive, improving the living con-ditions of families in the middle and the upper parts of the income distribution but causing net losses for those at the bottom.

Caracas, Mar 5 (EFE).- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez died here Tuesday after battling cancer for nearly two years, Vice President Nicolas Maduro said.
"At 4:25 p.m. local time today, March 5, comandante President Hugo Chavez Frias died," a visibly upset Maduro said on national television.
He said that after meeting in the morning with the country's top political and military leadership they went to the Hospital Militar in Caracas - the country's main military hospital - to "follow the ... health" of Chavez and received the "hardest and most tragic news that we could communicate to our people."
"To his mother, to his father - Elena, Don Hugo de los Reyes - to his siblings, to his daughters, to his grandchildren, and all our people we communicate our pain and our solidarity," the vice president said.
Venezuela's national police and armed forces are "deploying to accompany and protect" the people, Maduro said.
"In this immense pain of this historic tragedy that today touches our homeland we call on all our compatriots, men and women of all ages, to be the watchmen of peace," he said.
The 58-year-old Chavez had undergone four operations as well as courses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment since first being diagnosed with cancer in June 2011.
The leftist president spent more than two months in Cuba due to complications that followed his Dec. 11 cancer surgery in Havana.
Maduro announced earlier Tuesday the expulsion of the air attache at the U.S. Embassy in Caracas for "proposing destabilizing projects" to members of Venezuela's armed forces.
Col. David del Monaco was given 24 hours to leave the country, the vice president said, while Foreign Minister Elias Jaua announced later that the attache's assistant, an officer named Kostal, was also ordered to leave.
The vice president also suggested that foul play played a role in Chavez's illness and said a scientific commission would be appointed to investigate.
While Maduro spoke only of Venezuela's "historic enemies" and did not mention any country by name, a U.S. State Department said it was "absurd" to imply that Washington had anything to do with Chavez's illness.

If you need a simple subscriber list this is it. Maybe does not have more options, like edit users or confirmation mail, but is simple and works great.
Thanks a lot for such a nice plugin.
I also think an email notification to admin is necessary. Many don't check their website on a daily basis to see if they have new subscribers. So receiving emails is very good. Subscriber2 plugin does this but it doesn't have Name field in the form.
Thanks for this - great to have something as simple to install and use as this, and which doesn't force paid upgrades to extract data etc. Two fairly simple upgrades would give it 5 stars from me:
1. verification that input is actually a valid email address;
2. option to integrate CAPTCHA, e.g. the Really Simple Captcha plugin developed for Contact Form 7, and (I believe) fairly easy to use with other plugins.
This plugin does exactly what I need it to and not 500 things more. I stuck it in my sidebar with a text widget and it looks great.
Simple effective newsletter feature - exactly what I needed.
A problem was fixed by richard almost in real time, very impressive
I find how to use the extra features unclear, I am not very familiar with html

Collingwood Arms, Northumberland: hotel review
Main Street, Cornhill-On-Tweed, Northumberland TD12 4UHShow on map
The Collingwood Arms, in Cornhill-on-Tweed, Northumberland, has fine River Tweed views and perfectly judged bedrooms.
Expert Rating
Fiona Duncan, Telegraph Travel's hotel expert, reviews the best and worst of Britain's hotels and bed and breakfasts, from boutique to budget, countryside to city centre. Follow Fiona on Twitter: @HotelGuruGuru.
At last we have made it to the Collingwood Arms. Firstly, we were prevented by the fishing season, when it was fully booked for weeks on end, and then by two-and-a-half feet of snow that blocked our progress up the A1 last November.
This time, our journey was laughably easy, and a more relaxing, solid, reassuring and unpretentious hotel in which to while away some time would be hard to imagine.
It stands on what used to be the main road to Edinburgh, with the River Tweed glinting below. A tollgate once stood opposite, and the Collingwood Arms, named after Cuthbert Collingwood, one of Nelson's great admirals, still bears the words Post Horses beneath its name on the façade, announcing the coaching inn it once was.
But one of those rambling, awkward coaching inns it most certainly is not. A plain, reassuring, stone-built Georgian edifice, with two rows of elegant sash windows, it feels more like a gentleman's residence, with a wide central hall and a well-proportioned library/sitting room leading off.
It has always had a place in the local community – my friend Chris remembers coming often as a child for Sunday lunches – and locals still prop up the bar, though since a recent sympathetic makeover, the bar is now part of a contemporary, wood-floored brasserie where light dishes are served.
I don't know who was responsible for the transformation (the hotel was bought by John Cook, a Tweed fisherman, and is run by jovial Scotsman Kevin Kenny), but it's plain that the work was carried out with proper deference to the building's fine heritage.
The interior decoration fits perfectly. No one, mercifully, has been along and decided that it all has to look like a Moroccan souk or a Zen zone; instead, you'll find antiques, newly covered (but traditionally shaped) sofas and armchairs, Persian rugs and soft, muted colours for curtains and fabrics. Bathrooms are mostly large and stylish, painted in duck-egg blue or sage green.
All 16 rooms are named after ships in Vice-Admiral Collingwood's "van" at Trafalgar. We had to force ourselves to leave the library, where we had flopped after an excellent breakfast (featuring a honeycomb from Chain Bridge Honey Farm; see "Fiona's Choice", right), and walk along the river.
Best of all is the dining room. Edginess makes for poor eating; how much more satisfying food seems to be when you're on comfortable seats in a relaxing room, and here we tucked into locally sourced dishes that were as sound as the hotel itself. One of us, the cookery expert and teacher Jane Lovett, declared her food excellent, and she should know. I certainly loved my grilled black pudding and leek starter and my chicken was pretty good, too.
But it's the presence of the Tweed, one of the world's great salmon rivers, protected by Act of Parliament and administered by a board of commissioners, that adds special character to the Collingwood Arms. Perhaps it's the patient nature of the fishing community that gives the place its benign feel; certainly for anyone wanting to cast a fly here, it's perfect.
Rooms (out of five) T T T T Calming. I'd prefer more personal touches, plus radio and WiFi
Service T T T T Kevin and Shona, his assistant, create the right atmosphere
Character T T T T In its skin
Food & drink T T T T Enjoyable and well presented; admirable number of wines under £20
Value for money T T T T The prices are justified
Ground-floor room for guests with disabilities.
Fiona's Choice
Anyone interested in fishing on the Tweed should visit the Fish Tweed website at fishpal.com for all information, including seasons to fish, booking and prices.
Where to eat
Best bets are No 1 Sallyport, Berwick-on-Tweed (1 Sallyport Off Bridge Street; 01289 308827; sallyport.co.uk), and the Allanton Inn, Allanton (01890 818260; allantoninn.co.uk), though generally there is not a great choice; better to stay put or take a packed lunch on a long walk.
What to see
Northumberland and the Borders are rich in things to see and do, from the natural beauty of the landscape to great houses such as Floors Castle, Alnwick Castle and Garden, or Mandeston, with its famous silver staircase. Recommended is the Hirsel Garden at Coldstream (just down the road). The home of former Prime Minister Alec Douglas-Home, it is especially noted for its rhododendrons and azaleas.
Also consider Abbotsford, near Melrose (01896 752043; scottsabbotsford.co.uk), also on the banks of the Tweed, the home of Sir Walter Scott, who designed it, and WS Robson's Chain Bridge Honey Farm, the most comprehensive beekeeping exhibition in the UK (Horncliffe; 01289 382362; chainbridgehoney.co.uk).

If the option to use formulas in English is disabled and you're still not seeing formulas in your language, it might be due to this bug.
There is an option in Calc to use the English formulas (it's really handy as most documentation is in English). Please check that it is disabled:

Menopause Health Center
HRT May Reduce Diabetes Risk
"These findings are scientifically interesting, but they need confirmation by further studies," says Kanaya. "It is premature to recommend the use of hormone replacement therapy for the prevention of diabetes."
Karen E. Friday, MD, associate professor of medicine at Tulane University, agrees that further studies are needed and says her great hope is that the negative press about HRT in recent months has not halted research on estrogens because there is more that we need to know.
According to Friday, both animal and human studies suggest that estrogen plays a significant role in how the body regulates the sugar glucose, and she says we don't yet understand all of the potential mechanisms and influences of various forms of estrogen on diabetes.
Since diabetes is known to greatly increase a person's risk of heart disease, finding a way to safely reduce that additional risk through the use of HRT could have tremendous potential.
"For example, if you're a postmenopausal woman that hasn't developed heart disease, preventing diabetes -- in theory -- might help you prevent future heart disease," says Friday. "But if you're a diabetic woman who's already faces an increased risk of heart disease, does taking estrogen now make that better or worse? That question remains to be answered."

Poem Title:
I "Percussus sum sicut foenum, et aruit cor meum." - Ps. ci Wintertime nighs; But my bereavement-pain It cannot bring again: Twice no one dies. Flower-petals flee; But, since it once hath been, No more that severing scene Can harrow me. Birds faint in dread: I shall not lose old strength In the lone frost's black length: Strength long since fled! Leaves freeze to dun; But friends can not turn cold This season as of old For him with none. Tempests may scath; But love can not make smart Again this year his heart Who no heart hath. Black is night's cope; But death will not appal One who, past doubtings all, Waits in unhope. De Profundis II "Considerabam ad dexteram, et videbam; et non erat qui cognosceret me When the clouds' swoln bosoms echo back the shouts of the many and strong That things are all as they best may be, save a few to be right ere long, And my eyes have not the vision in them to discern what to these is so clear, The blot seems straightway in me alone; one better he were not here. The stout upstanders say, All's well with us: ruers have nought to rue! And what the potent say so oft, can it fail to be somewhat true? Breezily go they, breezily come; their dust smokes around their career, Till I think I am one horn out of due time, who has no calling here. Their dawns bring lusty joys, it seems; their eves exultance sweet; Our times are blessed times, they cry: Life shapes it as is most meet, And nothing is much the matter; there are many smiles to a tear; Then what is the matter is I, I say. Why should such an one be here? Let him to whose ears the low-voiced Best seems stilled by the clash of the First, Who holds that if way to the Better there be, it exacts a full look at the Worst, Who feels that delight is a delicate growth cramped by crookedness, custom, and fear, Get him up and be gone as one shaped awry; he disturbs the order here. De Profundis III "Heu mihi, quia incolatus meus prolongatus est! Habitavi cum habitantibus Cedar; multum incola fuit aninia mea."--Ps. cxix. There have been times when I well might have passed and the ending have come - Points in my path when the dark might have stolen on me, artless, unrueing - Ere I had learnt that the world was a welter of futile doing: Such had been times when I well might have passed, and the ending have come! Say, on the noon when the half-sunny hours told that April was nigh, And I upgathered and cast forth the snow from the crocus-border, Fashioned and furbished the soil into a summer-seeming order, Glowing in gladsome faith that I quickened the year thereby. Or on that loneliest of eves when afar and benighted we stood, She who upheld me and I, in the midmost of Egdon together, Confident I in her watching and ward through the blackening heather, Deeming her matchless in might and with measureless scope endued. Or on that winter-wild night when, reclined by the chimney-nook quoin, Slowly a drowse overgat me, the smallest and feeblest of folk there, Weak from my baptism of pain; when at times and anon I awoke there - Heard of a world wheeling on, with no listing or longing to join. Even then! while unweeting that vision could vex or that knowledge could numb, That sweets to the mouth in the belly are bitter, and tart, and untoward, Then, on some dim-coloured scene should my briefly raised curtain have lowered, Then might the Voice that is law have said "Cease!" and the ending have come.

AKRON, Ohio (AP) -- A northern Ohio church congregation has taken
a five-day hunger challenge to raise money for the poor in Kenya.
The Akron Beacon Journal reports that more than 50 people at Connection Church, in suburban Akron, ate nothing but rice and beans for five days. The money they saved on groceries is being sent to a Kenyan school that provides children with meals.
The Rev. Tony Myles joked that the diet "definitely messes with your digestive system." He said the campaign also raised awareness
of the average diet of orphans in the Third World.

I'm fairly new to WP and have been trawling round various sites for help without luck. If anyone could give me a quick pointer, that'd be great.
I've built a site: ten pages in English and ten in Spanish. All I want to do is have the ability to apply a template with the language defined as Spanish in the head of the document. I've previously only worked directly with HTML, so not yet au fait with PHP.
Thanks very much in advance

Medical Marijuana: Arizona To Hold Prescription Pot Lottery
It's been a busy couple of days in America's weed world.
For starters, Arizona will hold a lottery tomorrow to pick medical marijuana dispensaries, according to The Associated Press.
Why will the state hold a contest, you might ask?
Though prescription pot is legal in Arizona, the Department of Health Services received 486 apps from individuals or businesses who want to open shops in 99 of the 126 designated dispensary areas -- part of the Department's long-term goals for its medical marijuana program.
Upcoming Events
2016 Ny Jets Training Camp

New York City FC vs. Colorado Rapids

Usa National Womens Basketball
TicketsSun., Jul. 31, 1:30pm
Staten Island Yankees vs. Auburn Doubledays
TicketsSun., Jul. 31, 4:00pm
However, in 75 of those 99 areas, more than one individual or business applied for a dispensary certificate.
So they're doing a straight-up lotto -- we're talking ping pong balls chosen at random, for reals -- to pick a winner.
The Department's decision comes shortly after many of Arizona's sheriff's and county district attorneys demanded that Gov. Jan Brewer put the brakes on the state's dispensary program, citing federal statutes against cannabis -- which have caused confusion (read: a messy, messy clusterfuck) in California. (Brewer and state Attorney General Tom Horne stalled dispensary development last year by filing a federal lawsuit. However, their claim was struck down by a judge, prompting the program to continue.)
And in other bud-oriented breaking news, California Rep. Barbara Lee has sponsored legislation that would put an end to the federal crackdown on state medical marijuana operations, according to U.S. News and World Report.
Recall, also, that Ron Paul recently introduced the "Truth in Trials Act" in Congress, which would give legal protections to prescription pot users.

Public transportation is really good and buses are always running. They are easy to use and affordable.
I live 2.5 hours away from our school, When the program began there were classes about 1 hour away at Alan Hancock College, but the relationship ended with Antioch Univ. for whatever reason. So it's caused me to drive to Santa Barbara weekly. I do carpool with some other ladies in my area, but I doubt there will be many that continue on to the Master's Program to car pool with.

Frozen Grapes
Total Time
Prep 2 mins
Cook 0 mins
The perfect snack; a delicious healthy alternative to popsicles. This has got to be one of the easiest recipes out there.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 tablespoon sugar (or Splenda)
- 1⁄2 cup red seedless grapes
- First, wash your grapes and shake them gently to get some of the water off.
- Second, put them in a plastic bag with the sugar on top of them. (You may need more or less sugar, depending on how sweet your grapes are).
- Roll around the plastic bag, coating all the grapes with the sugar or Splenda.
- Now stick them in the freezer for at least an hour or two, and there you go! These keep for a very long time and you can make the recipe bigger or smaller.
Most Helpful
I had a bunch of grapes I was afraid would go bad before we ate them all so used your recipe to freeze some. I didn't measure the grapes but maybe had about a cup and a half. Used 2 heaping tablespoons of Splenda. They were real good.

Horticultural Classification Terms
- Horticulture and related fields
- Horticultural classification
- Classification by use
- Classification by climatic requirements
- Classification by elevation and plant life zones
- Classification by ecological adaptation
- Native and adapted plants for the urban environment
- Classification by stem and leaf texture
- Classification by growth habit
- Classification by life span
Planet Earth is unique because of plants. They were the first complex organisms to evolve, and they are credited with making the atmosphere hospitable for animals and other life forms.
Plants make their own food using raw materials from the environment including carbon dioxide, water, soil nutrients, and sunlight in the process of photosynthesis.
Horticulture and Related Fields
- Horticulture – he science and art of cultivating flowers, fruits, vegetables, turf and ornamental plants in an orchard, garden, nursery, or greenhouse, on a large or small scale.
- Horticultural –An adjective used to describe something relating to horticulture, or produced under cultivation.
- Horticulturist – A noun referring to a specialist in horticulture.
- The terms "ornamentals," "landscape horticulture," and "environmental horticulture" are common terms used to identify the sub-groupings of horticulture dealing with the landscape setting.
- Botany – A branch of biology dealing with plant life, (i.e., anatomy, taxonomy, genetics, physiology, ecology, etc.). The science of applied botany deals with plants grown in uncultivated settings.
- Agronomy –A branch of agriculture dealing with field crop production and soil management.
- Forestry –The science of developing, caring for, or cultivating forests; the management of growing timber.
- Community forestry / urban forestry – A branch of forestry dealing specifically with the unique growth limitations and needs of trees in the landscape setting.
Horticultural Classifications
With hundreds of thousands of plants used by mankind, it is impossible to discuss each one individually. Plants are grouped by various common characteristics to help us communicate similar ecological adaptations and cultural requirements. For example, the term "shade plants" indicates plants tolerant to various levels of shade. "Xeric" groups those plants requiring less supplemental irrigation in our climate. It is important to point out that any classification system will have plants that do not exactly fit the groupings.
The following are examples of some common classifications used in horticulture.
Classification by Use
I. Edibles
A. Fruits
1) Tree fruits
2) Small fruits
B. Vegetables
1) Warm season vegetables
2) Cool season vegetables
C. Herbs
1) Culinary
2) Medicinal
D. Nuts
II. Ornamentals/Landscape Plants
A. Woody plants
1) Trees
2) Shrubs
3) Vines and ground covers
B. Herbaceous plants
1) Flowers
2) Vines and ground covers
C. Grass/turf
III. Potted plants, houseplants, gift plants
A. Flowering gift plants
B. Foliage plants
Note: Do not confuse the multiple uses of the word "fruit".
In reference to "fruits and vegetables", "fruit" refers to crops primarily used in some European cuisine as a dessert (peaches, apples, strawberries, and raspberries). "Vegetables" refers to crops served as part of the main entrée (potatoes, carrots, corn, and lettuce). In this frame of reference, tomatoes are vegetables.
In reference to "fruit" as a part of plant anatomy (i.e., roots, stems, flowers, fruits, and seeds), tomatoes, squash and watermelons are fruit.
Classification by Climatic Requirements
Temperature Requirements
- Tropical plants originate in tropical climates with a year-round summer-like growing season without freezing temperatures. Examples include cocao, cashew and macadamia nuts, banana, mango, papaya, and pineapple.
- Sub-tropicalplants cannot tolerate severe winter temperatures but need some winter chilling. Examples include citrus, dates, figs and olives.
- Temperate-zone plants require a cold winter season as well as a summer growing season, and are adapted to survive temperatures considerably below freezing. Examples include apples, cherries, peaches, maples, cottonwoods, and aspen. In temperate-zones, tropical and sub-tropical plants are grown as annuals and houseplants.
- Cool seasonplants thrive in cool temperatures (40°F to 70°F daytime temperatures) and are somewhat tolerant of light frosts. Examples include Kentucky bluegrass, peas, lettuce and pansies.
- Warm seasonplants thrive in warm temperatures (65°F to 90°F daytime temperatures) and are intolerant of cool temperatures. Examples include corn, tomatoes, and squash. Some warm season plants are sub-tropical and tropical plants grown as annuals in Colorado.
- Tender plants are intolerant of cool temperatures, frost, and cold winds (e.g., most summer annuals, including impatiens, squash and tomatoes).
- Hardy plants are tolerant of cool temperatures, light frost, and cold winds (e.g., spring-flowering bulbs, spring-flowering perennials, peas, lettuce, and cole crops).
- Hardiness refers to a plant's tolerance to winter climatic conditions. Factors that influence hardiness include minimum temperature, recent temperature patterns, water supply, wind and sun exposure, genetic makeup and carbohydrate reserves.
- Cold hardiness zone refers to the average annual minimum temperature for a geographic area. Temperature is only one factor that influences a plant's winter hardiness. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has created a Hardiness Zone Map. With an extensive database, it documents some zone creeping (zone moving north as temperatures warm).
- Heat zone refers to the accumulation of heat, a primary factor in how fast crops grow and what crops are suitable for any given area. This is only one factor that influences a plant's heat tolerance. On a heat-zone map, the Colorado Front Range falls into zones 5 to 7.
Classification by Elevation and Plant Life Zones
Higher elevations have increasingly shorter growing seasons due to colder temperatures. High elevations have drier soils, stronger light, persistent winds, and greater temperature changes. Due to this harsh environment, alpine and tundra plants tend to be compact in form. [Figure 1]
Figure 1. Colorado Plant Life Zones
Classification by Ecological Adaptations
Many of our plant care problems arise as gardeners try to grow plants outside of their natural environment or "ecological adaptation."
Characteristics of the Colorado high plains include low humidity, limited rainfall, and alkali soils low in organic matter. One of our most limiting factors is rapid temperature change. We can go from a beautiful warm spring day to a cold winter blizzard in just hours.
In the higher mountain communities, the short frost-free season and low summer growing temperatures significantly limit plant selection.
The following are a few examples of terms used to describe classifications based on ecological adaptation.
- Alpine plants tolerate the short growing season, cold, and wind of higher mountain elevations. They are typically low-growing, small leaf perennials. Snow cover depth often dictates the plant's growing height.
- Prairie plants are adapted to the open sun and winds of the plains. These plants are further classified into dry, mesic, and wet prairie categories.
- Woodland plants are adapted to a low light conditions and soils rich in organic matter. They typically have large leaves and small flowers.
- Wetland plants tolerate continually moist soil conditions of a bog or a pond. Wetlands play a primary role in water quality as a filtering system for water-borne pollutants.
- Xeric plants tolerate conditions of low water, bright light, and warm temperatures due to a variety of adaptations such as thick, waxy, or fleshy leaves, hairy leaves, small narrow leaves, taproots and succulent stems.
An excellent text on xeriscape gardening is Xeriscape Plant Guide, by Denver Water, published by Fulcrum Publishing.
Native and Adapted Plants for the Urban Environment
- Native (indigenous) plant refers to plants adapted to a given area during a defined time period. In America, the term often refers to plants growing in a region prior to the time of settlement by people of European descent.
The term is so overused that it has little meaning. With recent interest in water conservation, many gardeners mistakenly consider "native" plants as "xeric" plants, and "xeric" plants as "native" plants. The two terms are not interchangeable.
The concept of native should not refer to political boundaries, such as state or country, but rather to an ecological habitat during a defined chronological period. For example, Colorado blue spruce and quaking aspen are "native" to the ecological habitat referred to as the montane zone. They are not "native" to the Colorado high plains, or elevations below 8,000 feet. From a chronological reference point, what is now the grassland of the Great Plains was once an inland sea. Therefore, aquatic plants such as kelp would have been "native" at one time. Over time, the ecological habitat changed, changing the "native" plants along with it. Environmental change is an ongoing process, based both on global climatic events and on the activity of all organisms, including humankind.
- Adapted or introduced) plants are those that reliably grow well in a given habitat without specific attention from humans in the form of winter protection, soil amendments, pest protection, water, etc. Adapted plants are considered to be low maintenance plants.
- Urban environment –For gardening purposes, the urban setting needs to be recognized as a unique ecosystem. Characteristics of the urban environment include:
- Soil compaction
- Rooting areas covered with buildings, roads, and parking lots
- Increased surface runoff creating significant water quality problems
- Higher temperatures and lower humidity
- Air pollution
Characteristics of an urban environment cultivated by humans may include:
- Reduced wind
- Increased availability of water due to irrigation
- Increased organic matter and soil fertility
- Reduced pests
- Increased soil stability
- Slower temperature fluctuations
Classification by Stem and Leaf Texture
- Herbaceous plants have non-woody stems.
- Woody plants have woody stems that generally live for several years, adding new growth each year.
- Deciduous plants shed all leaves at approximately the same time annually.
- Evergreen plants retain some leaves longer than one growing season so that leaves are present throughout the year. Seasonal drop of some of the oldest interior leaves is a natural part of the life cycle.
- Semi-evergreen refers to plants that may retain their leaves, depending on the winter temperature and moisture.
- Broadleaf plants have a broad leaf blade (e.g., ash, maple, lilac, and beans). [Figure 2]
- Narrowleaf plants have needle-like (e.g., pine, spruce) or awl-like (e.g. junipers) leaves. [Figure 3]
- Grass-like plants have narrow leaves, usually arising from the base of the plant. The leaves may be soft (ornamental grasses) or stiff (yucca).
Figure 2. Venation of broadleaf deciduous trees
Figure 3. Conifer leaf types
- Some evergreens are broadleaf (e.g., Oregon grape, most true hollies, and evergreen euonymus).
- Some narrow-leaf plants are deciduous (e.g., larch and bald cypress
- Conifer refers to cone-bearing. Most conifers are narrow-leaf evergreens. A few conifers are deciduous (larch, bald cypress).
Classification by Growth Habit
Growth habit refers to the genetic tendency of a plant to grow in a certain shape and to attain a certain mature height and spread. [Figure 4.]
- Trees typically have a single trunk and mature height over 12 feet.
- Shrubs typically have multiple-branches from the ground and a mature height less than 12 feet.
- Vines have a climbing, clasping, or self-clinging growth habit.
Note: Many landscape plants could be considered small trees or large shrubs. The terms tree or shrub is applied based on the general appearance of the plant.
Plants have vastly different growth habits. It is important to understand growth habits in order to make knowledgeable decisions regarding plant placement, plant selection, pruning and maintenance requirements.
The species, cultivar, and/or variety name sometimes indicates some characteristic of growth habit.
Figure 4. Tree forms.
Classification by Life Span
From a horticultural perspective, life span is a function of climate and usage. Many garden plants (including tomatoes and geraniums) grown as annuals in Colorado would be perennials in climates without freezing winter temperatures.
- Annuals complete their life cycle (from seedling to setting seed) within a single growing season. However, the growing season may be from fall to summer, not just from spring to fall. These plants come back only from seeds.
- Summer annuals germinate from seed in the spring and complete flowering and seed production by fall, followed by plant death, usually due to cold temperatures. Their growing season is from spring to fall. Examples include marigolds, squash and crabgrass.
- Winter annuals germinate from seed in the fall, with flowering and seed development the following spring, followed by plant death. Their growing season is from fall to summer. Examples include winter wheat and annual bluegrass. Many weeds in the lawn (such as chickweed and annual bluegrass) are winter annuals.
- Biennials complete their life cycle within two growing seasons. Biennials germinate from seed during the growing season and often produce an over-wintering storage root or bulb the first summer. Quite often, they maintain a rosette growth habit the first season, meaning that all the leaves are basal. They flower and develop seeds the second summer, followed by death. Many biennial flowers self-seed, giving the appearance of a perennial growth habit.
In the garden setting, we grow many biennials as annuals (e.g., carrots, onions, and beets) because we are more interested in the root than the bloom. Some biennial flowers may be grown as short-lived perennials (e.g., hollyhocks).
- Perennials live through several growing seasons and can survive a period of dormancy between growing seasons. These plants regenerate from root systems or protected buds, in addition to seeds.
- Herbaceous perennials develop over-wintering woody tissue only at the base of shoots (e.g., peony and hosta) or have underground storage structures from which new stems are produced. Note: Golden Vicary Privet and Blue Mist Spirea (Caryopteris spp.) can be either herbaceous or woody as grown in Colorado.
- Spring ephemerals have a relatively short growing season but return next season from underground storage organs (e.g., bleeding heart, daffodils).
- Woody perennials develop over-wintering tissue along woody stems and in buds (e.g., most trees and shrubs grown in Colorado).
- Combinations – Plants are usually classified as annual, biennial, or perennial on the basis of the plant part that lives the longest. For example, raspberries have biennial canes and perennial roots.

Medical Examiner Says That NYPD Chokehold Killed Eric Garner
And ruled his death a homicide.
The New York City medical examiner's office has confirmed what many people have already determined on their own: Eric Garner died as a direct result of an illegal chokehold administered by an NYPD officer. (The authorities initially suggested that cardiac arrest killed him.) On Friday afternoon, a spokesperson announced that the 43-year-old Staten Island man's death had been ruled a homicide caused by "compression of his neck (chokehold), compression of his chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police." Garner's asthma, heart disease, and weight were listed as contributing factors.
It's not yet clear what this means for Daniel Pantaleo, the cop who was videotaped choking Garner right before he died. The Staten Island district attorney's office, which would be responsible for pressing charges against Pantaleo (as well as the other officers involved in the incident) issued a statement saying only, "We await the issuance of the official death certificate and the autopsy report. The investigation into Mr. Garner's death continues."
Garner's widow, Esaw, seemed considerably more grateful for the development. "Thank God the truth is finally out," she told the Daily News. "Thank God for that." So far, the NYPD hasn't commented on the announcement.

I would like to host two blogs with the same core files (same plugins, same updates, same everythings) but in two places.
I write about technology currently, and I want to add a second blog completely dedicated to technical music (I am a musician..) but I do not want an entirely separate WordPress setup.
What are your suggestions? I just don't need the capability of expanding to thousands of individual blogs -- at least, not at this point in time.
I tried whatever the name of the plugin was that had "hive" in it, it simply did not work on my website and locked me out of wp-admin until I deleted the plugin via. FTP. I have no idea what happened, and will not troubleshoot it unless all of you seem to think it would be the best solution.
Thank you for your assistance,

Hmm, haven't noticed it yet. Hopefully I won't.. But that does involve actually shooting better than 2nd place on most holes.
Something I haven't quite accomplished just yet. :lol:
Bah! Shot my first -4 on Fiji Random and that glitch finally reared it's ugly head. I was so pissed. :evil:
Played it again and shot a -5 though, so it was a bit of a blessing in disguise.
Strange bug. Probably wouldn't have even noticed it had you not mentioned it..

Report: Voter ID Laws Disenfranchise Transgender Voters
A new report from the Williams Institute details the severe impact voter ID laws could have on transgender voters. Studies suggest that two out of every five transgender citizens (41 percent) do not have identification that matches their correct gender, largely due to states' different requirements for changing birth certificates, if they allow a change at all. Many of the policies require documented proof of gender reassignment surgery, which not all trans people choose to undergo. In addition, the report found that harassment due to incongruent ID documents was more severe for trans people of color:

Meet Shia LaBeouf's new leading lady – both on and off screen.
Carey Mulligan, 24, who hails from England, has been spotted cuddling and kissing the Transformers star in N.Y.C., where the two have been filming Oliver Stone's Wall Street sequel, Money Never Sleeps.
"They seemed very, very happy," says an onlooker of the couple, who enjoyed a low-key lunch Aug. 23 at a sidewalk café in Greenwich Village. "They were talking, laughing and smiling and seemed very close." Reps for both actors could not be reached for comment.
In addition to her budding romance with LaBeouf, here are five things to know about the British actress as she makes her mark in Hollywood:
1. She got her big break in Pride & Prejudice:
Mulligan landed the role of Kitty Bennet alongside Keira Knightley with the help of her school headmistress. "I wrote to [her] explaining that I didn't want to go to university and wanted to get in touch with [Julian Fellowes]," Mulligan told the Telegraph in November 2007. Fellowes, a British actor and screenwriter, became her mentor and tipped her off that director Joe Wright was looking for unknown young actresses for his film.
2. Home for her isn't just one country:
Her father, a hotel manager, moved the family when she was 3 from London to Germany, where she discovered a love for acting. "My brother and I were at the International School of Düsseldorf, and they did these amazing, lavish productions," she recalled for the The Independent. "They did The King and I, and my brother was cast as one of the little kids. My mother and I went to watch the rehearsals, and I burst into tears because I wasn't in it so the director let me in."

Pillai is a professor of food safety and environmental microbiology at Texas A&M University.
Locally grown food "is pretty much on par with what you would find in a supermarket," in terms of food safety, Demma agrees. "Of course, there [are] other reasons to buy and eat locally," she says.
At farmers markets, you may get the chance to meet and talk with the people who produced your food.
Farmers markets have become more common, with 4,385 U.S. farmers markets in 2006, up from 1,755 farmers markets in 1994, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Eating food shipped from overseas? The melamine-tainted animal feed ingredients came from China. But that doesn't mean that all imported food is suspect.
"The assumption that the imported products are unsafe is absolutely not true," Pillai says. "In fact, there are as many outbreaks associated with foods grown in the United States. So blaming it on imported products, I think, is a cop-out."
2. Map your supermarket route. Don't cruise the store aisles aimlessly. Gather nonperishable items first, fresh or frozen goods last. That strategy minimizes the time that perishable goods sit in your shopping cart instead of in a freezer or refrigerator.
3. Be choosy. Select fresh produce that isn't bruised or damaged. Check that eggs aren't cracked. Look for a clean meat or fish counter and a clean salad bar. Don't buy bulging or dented cans, cracked jars, or jars with loose or bulging lids. If fresh-cut produce (such as half a watermelon or bagged salad mixes) is on your shopping list, choose those that are refrigerated or surrounded by ice.
4. Pack it up. At the grocery store, bag fresh fruits and vegetables separately from meat, poultry, and seafood products.
Bring an ice chest to keep frozen or perishable items if it will take more than an hour to get those items home.
No ice chest? If it's hot outside, put the groceries in the air-conditioned passenger area of your car instead of putting them in the trunk, which may not have air-conditioning.
