Detroit Considers Turning 41 Schools Into Charters
The emergency financial manager of the Detroit Public Schools presented a plan Saturday to turn nearly one in every three schools into charter schools as part of a bid to save the district millions of dollars and prevent massive school closings.
The 41 schools selected for independent control currently enroll about 16,000 of the district's 73,000 students and would operate as public school academies starting as soon as this fall. The district expects to release a list of the schools this week and solicit proposals for their transfer.
Recently the district led by a state-appointed manager overseeing a total of 142 schools has explored modeling Detroit on post-Katrina New Orleans, where a shrunken district was remade with mostly charter schools.
Robert Bobb, the emergency financial manager, said in a news release Saturday that the charter-school plan would reduce operating costs by $75 million to $99 million, but did not say over what period of time any cost savings would be realized.
The original deficit-elimination plan approved last month called for closing 40 schools next school year, which would have saved the district $28 million, according to Steve Wasko, a district spokesman. The plan also calls for shuttering another 30 schools in 2012.
He said a similar estimate for savings associated with transferring 41 schools to charter control has not been completed.
Among the schools under consideration to become charters would be those in the district with the worst academic performance. Those schools which have not been recently restructured or received large capital investments would also be eligible.
Even as charter schools, they will continue to be neighborhood-based and required to serve students first from the surrounding areas as well as special-needs youngsters, according to Mr. Wasko.
Mr. Bobb presented his plan to the district's school board at a finance workshop Saturday morning. He attributed the savings in part to the money not spent to close and secure schools as well as funds collected from leases to charter organizations.
On the flipside, the district, which has been losing students for years, would also miss out of state revenue for students attending charter schools. The district receives about $7,660 in state aid for each of its students plus additional federal funds, Mr. Wasko said.
School board president Anthony Adams could not be reached for immediate comment.
"I don't want to speak for the board members, but I would describe the reaction as overwhelmingly positive among the board's leadership," Mr. Wasko said Saturday afternoon.
Currently the school board still controls the district's academics and would need to approve the charter-school plan. But that could change as the Michigan state legislature is considering expanding the power of emergency financial managers in the state.
If a selected school does not receive a qualified proposal, Mr. Bobb said, the school will close and its students transferred.
The plan comes in the wake of the announcement in February that Detroit would have to close about half of its public schools and increase the average size of high-school classrooms to 60 students over the next four years to eliminate a $327 million deficit.
But on Saturday, Mr. Bobb did not present a single plan to reduce the deficit, even with the newly chartered schools.
Instead he outlined several options. One would split the district into two entities to help retire its debt, along the lines of the government-engineered bankruptcy of General Motors. GM 0.41 %
Another option would hold the district harmless against revenue loss from declining enrollment for a period of time while additional financing is sought. During that time, the cuts required by the state-required, deficit-elimination plan would be put on hold.
Under a third option, a system more dependent on charter schools would replace the existing public school system. Additional options would blend aspects of all three plans, according to Mr. Bobb.
The plans have yet to be presented in detail and Mr. Wasko said they hope to be completed by June.
The deficit-elimination plan was submitted in January by Mr. Bobb and approved by the state in February as a last-ditch scenario if the district couldn't find new revenue sources, which it hasn't so far.
Mr. Bobb has said the deep cuts were necessary if the district hoped to be solvent again without additional state aid. But he said the strategy was ultimately ill-advised because it will likely drive even more students away, depriving the district of needed state funds, which Michigan apportions on the basis of enrollment.
Mr. Bobb is now moving to shrink the district as enrollment is expected to decline to 58,570 students by 2014 from about 73,000 students today.
Frustrated by the extended outside rule of the district's operations, the school board recently regained control of the district's academics through a lawsuit. It has also sought an infusion of funds from the state and an end to outside control of the district.
Mr. Bobb arrived two years ago and has agreed to stay through the end of June while Republican Gov. Rick Snyder considers a possible replacement.

Re: Turning brother in for CC fraud
I think there are alot of options here in between the extremes of a) letting him get away with it with no consequences (which would be bad in probably all circumstances) and b) turning him into the police (which would be bad in many circumstances).
We really don't have much info to go on here to form a solid opinion. Age, type of relationship, parents in the picture, income potential, history of incidents, how he acquired info, etc.
I certainly wouldn't turn in a relative or friend even without confronting them first, asking when/why/how they did it, asking what their plan is to make good on it, etc.

All Rise...
Judge Jason Panella likes the Carnegie Deli, but he wishes the sandwiches could be a little bigger.
The Charge
"I thought this was a funny story. It's terrible!"
Opening Statement
Often overlooked, Woody Allen's Broadway Danny Rose is a gem.
Facts of the Case
Danny Rose (Woody Allen, Manhattan) is a small-time talent manager based out of Manhattan. Rose is loyal to his entertainers to a fault, including the has-been crooner Lou Canova (singer Nick Apollo Forte in his only film role). Surprisingly, Lou's career takes off—and the singer demands that Danny drop a smokescreen to obscure the singer's affair with Tina (Mia Farrow, Rosemary's Baby). So Danny poses as Tina's boyfriend, and Tina's mobster ex-boyfriend—in typical mobster style—sends some skull-crackers after the hapless agent.
The Evidence
The setup for Broadway Danny Rose is brilliant. Some real-life comedians are grabbing lunch at Carnegie Deli in Manhattan, downing coffee and sandwiches as they swap stories. Their topic eventually shifts to Danny Rose. Who? You know, they say, Danny Rose—the "talent" manager of some third-act acts. Like the blind xylophone player and the balloon artist. There are a lot of Danny Rose stories out there, but—as one comedian promises—only one of them is the best Danny Rose story. The rest of the comedians lean in: this story is the one they need to hear, especially considering how miserable things are for a New York comedian in the 1980s.
Allen's film is that story. Broadway Danny Rose, like many of writer/director/actor's late-'70s and '80s productions, is as sad as it is funny. Still, it's an often silly film, and the playfulness nicely balances out the introspective aspects.
In Broadway Danny Rose, Allen plays the titular character as yet another variation of the "Woody Allen" persona: uptight, neurotic, jittery. But he's also caring to a fault and deeply concerned with his "family" of awful performers he keeps under his wing. Danny Rose, like Allen, cut his teeth working the Borscht Belt comedy circuit, and one of the film's best running gags is how Rose falls into his stand-up routine in casual conversation. His amiable nature makes him well-liked in the business, but other show-biz types wonder why Danny doesn't climb the ladder a few rungs and pluck some better acts. The answer is simple: he's loyal.
So loyal that he gets himself into a lot of trouble for his only talented (albeit moderately) act. Lou Canova has been asked to open for Milton Berle and will only perform if his mistress Tina attends. Which, or course, isn't easy—Lou is married, and Tina is on the outs with him anyway. Broadway Danny Rose really picks up the pace once Danny meets Tina—Farrow plays her as a live wire, and the non-stop verbal sparring between the two (who were a romantic item at the time) is fantastic. The slapstick material brings in some of the elements of Allen's older, pre-Annie Hall work while still encapsulating the jokes in a melancholy pill. The humor is also peculiar, in some ways—many of the lines are more amusing than hilarious, which works in the context. But the film is tightly written regardless, and drops a number of knee-slappers by the end.
Allen's screenplay wades into some thoughtful territory. The relationship Rose has with his stable of performers seems pitiful on the outside, but there's something more there—love and friendship. This Danny Rose story is also part myth about and part love letter to the world of show business. As a result, there are some atypical elements in the film that potentially make this one of Allen's most joyful films. But only potentially—how cynically you interpret the film is up to you. No matter how you look at it, it's an entertaining, well-made movie that often gets overlooked in favor of the giants in Woody Allen's repertoire.
Twilight Time's release of Broadway Danny Rose (Blu-ray) is limited to 3,000 copies. The 1.85:1/1080p transfer lovingly renders the black-and-white work of cinematographer Gordon Willis (The Godfather). There's a lot of natural grain here, which adds warmth to the overall clear picture. There's a remarkable variations of gray on display that look great with this transfer. The mono DTS-HD Master Audio track is also strong—it's clear, appropriately loud in the right spots, and well-mixed. There aren't a lot of extras, though: the film's original trailer (1:07), an isolated music and effects track, and a nice four-page essay from Twilight Time's film historian Julie Kirgo.
Closing Statement
If you're an Allen fan and haven't seen Broadway Danny Rose, you need to watch this pronto. Twilight Time's limited-run Blu-ray is also a nice entry for Allen novices. Recommended.

Released: Nov 01st, 2003
Running Time: 90
Directors: Steve Hooper, Tony de Sergio DELETED
Company: Private U.S.A.
Cast: Luisa de Marco, Jane Darling, Mickey Blue, Ramon Nomar, Steve Hooper, Sandra Mark, Tina (I), Jana (I), Tony de Sergio DELETED, Frederica
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
Stock in Private section.
Private's new British directing team of Steve Hooper and Tony de Sergio journeys to the French Alps for this collection of scenes that plays more like their personal home video. The duo performs in every scene but one, passing a video camera back and forth during the sex and chatting incessantly about their conquest. The editing switches from a third-party camera to Hooper and de Sergio's POV camera shots, and it ends up detracting from the heat. Viewers will be dizzy attempting to follow some of the action as the angles often end up being awkward.
Still, the girls are up to Private's usual high standards and every one of them is dirty as hell. There is anal in every scene, except for the lone g/g pairing, and several d.p.'s. It's hard to tell the names of most of the girls as they are not clearly identified, but it is clear that Tina Wagner is the girl who gets pumped hard in the closer. Once again it's Hooper and de Sergio who do the honors, nailing her from the front, back and the side before two rounds of d.p. There is also a wild scene in which a very cute blonde fucks four guys at once and a two-on-two boff unfolds on snowmobiles. The opener features a hot brunette getting tag-teamed by the directors.

Financial Information[edit]
I moved the budget overrun section here to the talk page temporarily to work on piecing together a more comprehensive article as the project has now been officially completed. The budget overrun section, written by Toytoy, will be reintroduced into the article. --Gerald Farinas 14:57, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Budget overrun[edit]
The project was known for its notorious delays (it was originally intended to open in 2000 instead of 2004) and tripled costs. This park, in John Bryan, a fundraiser's words, would "be a monument to the very essence of the city of Chicago." It contains notable structures and gardens built by some of the best architects and designers available, and has a Frank Gehry-designed bandshell.
Many structures in the park were added, redesigned or modified. This resulted in budget increase. For example, the band shell's proposed budget was $10.8 million. It becomes $60.3 million in the end.

I don't see anything postmodern about Millennium Park. If anything we could consider it "ultra-modern" or "wow-factor" modern. I don't know what this type of Gehry architecture is called, but it is certainly not postmodern. Postmodern architecture draws on historical themes and style, and adds a modern "twist" to them. There isn't any historical reference in the band shell, just references to Gehry's other work.
I think in this sense "postmodern" serves as an ambiguous term referring to all contemporary architecture -- novel (i.e., not derivative) structures designed after the modern period. -- Downward spiral of death 23:45, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
This article does not cite sources, and some of the information appears to be based on copyrighted material. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 19:34, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Commercial photography ban[edit]
Does the ban on commercial photography have ramifications for GFDL licensing? Based on the article's source [1], it would appear that there are. Any thoughts? NatusRoma | Talk 06:30, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
- There is currently no ban on commercial photography in Millennium Park, rather the copyrights for the artworks in the park are still held by the artists. Under US copyright law there is no freedom of panorama for sculptures (although there is for buildings), so photographs of the artworks in Millennium Park are considered derivative works and only the artist can give permission for the publication of such works. ASAIK, the City of Chicago started trying to enforce a commercial photography ban, in part at least, because the city paid the artists for an exclusive licence to sell such derivative works. As far as Wikipedia is concerned, photographs of the artworks in the park should only appear here under claims of fair use. --JeremyA 18:08, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- that's not true, you can take pictures of whatever you want in public areas. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 01:47, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
Featured Topic Drive[edit]
I feel that the attractions at Millennium Park deserve some editorial attention. I think it may be possible to improve them to WP:FT status. I have created the template below to help us understand how the related articles are progressing. Right now we have Crown Fountain, Jay Pritzker Pavilion, BP Pedestrian Bridge, and Lurie Garden. There is a long way to go. Crown Fountain will be renominated after it ends its current WP:PR. There is a lot of work to do. Next up for me will be McCormick Tribune Plaza/Ice rink. I am not sure how much is out there beyond Chicago press on this one. The impetus for the drive came after discussions with User:Torsodog about our common interests in Lakeshore East and Millenium Park. He is doing a good job of cleaning up Cloud Gate. It will be on its way to WP:GAC soon, I imagine.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 04:14, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Follow the featured topic drive at WP:CHIFTD.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 21:00, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
Budget Reference?[edit]
There doesn't seem to be a reference for the budget table. There is some important information there, and I went to source the Cloud Gate portion for its article, but I couldn't seem to find any reliable source stating that the original budget was $6 million. Anyone know where this info was originally found? Torsodog (talk) 05:18, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Pages needed for rewrite[edit]
Movies and TV shows[edit]
I got a list of movies and TV shows that have obtained consent to shoot in Millennium Park. Many of these movies have not been released yet, but if WP:RS make any reference to them being shot there add them to the aritcle. Here is what I have so far for movies: Nothing Like the Holidays also filmed at McCormick Plaza. The 2008 Beau Jest, He's such a girl shot in Millennium Park.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 00:20, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Not part of Grant Park[edit]
That text is incorrect. In fact the park is not even administered by the Chicago Park District, but by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs. source User:scbomber 20:58, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
- The park is indeed located in the area of Grant Park. From the Millennium Park official site: "What is now Millennium Park was first conceived in 1998 with the mission of creating new parkland in Grant Park to transform the unsightly railroad tracks and parking lots that had long dotted the lakefront." --TorsodogTalk 22:06, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
Also, the reason why there are height restrictions and restrictions on buildings in MP (eg. why Harris theater is built underground and why the Pritzker Pavilion is labeled "not a structure") is because legally it is part of Grant Park and is governed by the Montgomery Ward cases. Alanscottwalker (talk) 00:56, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
Green roof[edit]
Which part is a green roof? How big is it? Rmhermen (talk) 02:02, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
- What green roof are you referring to? I can't really think of any green roof... --TorsodogTalk 02:10, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
- I think the fact that there's a parking garage (and streets!?) underneath makes it a "rooftop garden," if I understood that correctly. It's kind of odd, but much of Chicago's Loop seems to be built on two levels... This should be made clear if that's indeed the case, but I really don't know the specifics. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 19:20, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
Does anyone have access to AON? I believe a newer picture, including the newly completed Modern Wing of the Art Institute of Chicago, along with its bridge that starts right across from the Pritzker lawn, would be nice.
Why has so much of the information on the park been removed by JVCDude? I don't see a reason listed, and some of the other information, such as amenities and the controversies, would seem quite relevant, especially as this article was featured.

Orphaned references in Millennium Park[edit]
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Millennium Park's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "PVA":

- From Crown Fountain: Deyer, Joshua (2005). "Chicago's New Class Act" (PDF). PN. Paralyzed Veterans of America. Retrieved 2007-12-21. Unknown parameter

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 00:52, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
Hundreds Visit Crown Fountain[edit]
The article states that hundreds of Chicagoans visit Crown Fountain hoping to see themselves on one of the two screens, citing the Chicago Sun-Times (fn. 96). While the reference does describe how almost a thousand Chicagoans appear randomly on the screens, I don't see where it says that hundreds visit to see themselves. (The title of the Sun-Times article states that "many" have yet to see their own image, while the body of the article refers to "several" people who have not seem themselves.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pinnochle (talk • contribs) 00:42, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
Images in the Background section[edit]
The first four images in the gallery are ones that have been or currently are in the Background section of the article. I like the image of Lake Front Park (1) as it is discussed in the article and all of what is shown is now part of MP. I am not very fond of 2, as it is almost all the Art Institute and park south of MP - if you divided the image into 9 parts, MP would be less than 1/9th. 3 and 4 are of rail yards in Grant Park, but do not show much or any of what became MP - they are not in the article now.
I have been on top of Sears Tower several times in the past and looked for photos I had taken. I found one from Sears Tower taken in 1981 (6 in the gallery) that I like, and unexpectedly found I had also taken a photo of the rail lines in the part of Grant Park that later became Millennium Park (5 in the gallery).
What should be in this section of the article? I think 1 is good to include (see above for my reasons). I would leave out 2 as we already have one image from that era and it shows very little of what became MP. I would also not include 3 and 4 as they show very little or nothing of what became MP. I would have 1, then would have the image map, then one or perhaps two more images. I like 5 and 6 both. Should they be in a multiple image template? Also, could someone who knows Chicago better than I make sure I have identified 5 correctly? Please also weigh in on which images to include in this section. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 21:07, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
- I endorse your selections 1, 5 and 6 in a T:MI.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 21:32, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
- You ask: "What should be in this section of the article?"
- We are covering 150 plus years of the history of this corner of Grant Park (former Lake Front Park) in this section. So, if we wish to cover that history, we begin with Michigan Boulevard as the Lake Front. In 1852, the railroad came in on a causeway in the lake. (And Chicago, of course, owes much to that railroad.) The area between Michigan Avenue and the railroad tracks was filled in and the US gave the right of way for that land to the City for a Park ("forever free and clear") (see Ward lawsuits). The city raised its entire Loop grade, including the Park above the railroad tracks. The city built a ball park and then a museum. Eventually the ball park was removed and the Burnham plan was executed giving the 1/4 of what is today Millennium Park, that area closest to Michigan Avenue, a Beaux Arts, City Beautiful design, similar to what you find in today's south Grant Park. See the section on the todays new (replaced) Peristyle on Wrigley Square and the attached picture:
I like image 2 (above) because it tells much of that history. The image that does not belong in the history section is the map of today's MP (as well as pictures 3 and 4). The map should be given its own section entilted "Map." I have no issue with the other new pictures (I don't know if you need both) except that unfortunately we don't have pictures of what the park area was like closest to Michigan Avenue just before redevelopment to tell the full story, here (and it was quite beautiful).Alanscottwalker (talk) 00:20, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
- You also asked about your description of new pictures
- 6 does not show all of the area of Millennium Park because the buildings block view of the area closest to Michigan Ave. (You may consider linking 6 in a gallery to the picture in the article's next section that shows almost exactly the same angle post development).
- For 5, you describe it this way in the uploaded attached picture summary:
- "Rail Yards in Grant Park, Chicago, Illinois, USA in 1981. View is from Monroe Street (just north of the Art Institute) looking north on the bridge over the rail lines in Grant Park (so Michigan Avenue is to the left). This later became Millennium Park and the foreground is what became Chase Promenade South and Boeing Gallery South, with what became Crown Fountain at left."
- This description is incorrect. Assuming you took this from Monroe, looking north, you would be looking into what became Chase Promenade but not Boeing Gallery. Boeing would be to the left in picture 6 but the Crown Fountain area (further to the left) cannot be seen, at all. Boeing is directly across from the Art Institute wing to the west of the railroad tracks. If you look at a Satellite picture, you can confirm this.Alanscottwalker (talk) 02:36, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for your feedback and sorry to be slow in responding. I have corrected the image 5 description on Commons to reflect what you said. I was not sure if the location of the tracks had changed somewhat since 1981.
- I am well aware that image 6 does not show all of what became Millennium Park, but it does show much more of what became the park than does the 1893 Art Institute sketch. It is also the best free view of much of that part of Grant Park (pre-MP) that has been found so far (I was on top of the Sears Tower with a camera on several occasions before the park was built and I may find a better image eventually). I had also noticed that it was similar to the view in File:Millennium Park from Sears Tower.jpg, but the two are different enough that I would not want to put them side by side.
- There is always a question of where to begin with history. I note that the section is called Background (and not History) and does start with the railroad in 1852. Since the article is about a park built on land controlled by the railroad for over a century, that seems a reasonable place to start. Much of what you mention above is already in the article in some form. I ma not sure that the Michigan Boulevard is the old lake shore, railroad on a causeway at first, park reclaimed by landfill and then raised up needs to be in the Background section (does it really help increase the reader's understanding?). If it is included it will need to have refs to relaible sources (thoug I know Gilfoyle covers much of this). I do see your point about the 1893 Art Institute image showing the lake much closer to shore etc.
- Finally, as for the map, the background section briefly describes some of the park's important features and also describes some of what has happened in the neighborhood since the park opened. I think that the image map is useful where it is now to help the reader understand where things are within the park in relation to each other - it helps coming before the descriptions of the features. I was bold and tried a new arrangement of images in the section. Let me know what you all think, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 04:42, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
The videos displayed on Crown Fountain fade to black every 15 minutes.[86]
This is a poorly expressed caption. Make the interesting information the topic of the sentence. The fact that videos are displayed is interesting. The fact that they fade out after 15 minutes is just possibly the most boring piece of information that could be stated, true though it may be. Amandajm (talk) 01:57, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks - I think the problem is that people who have seen the fountains are used to images showing the video faces displayed. Due to WP:NFCC and limited use of fair use images on Wikiepdia, the FAC image review did not think such a fair use image was allowed in the article (there is one in the article on Crown Fountain) but an image of the faded to black display with water cascading down it was felt to be OK. So the caption is trying to explain what is going on in the picture shown. Any specific suggestions for improvement are welcome. Thanks again, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 03:23, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
Robert Israel[edit]
Who is the "Robert Israel" mentioned in the template? I ask because right now the only Robert Israel on Wikipedia is a redirect, and it refers to a San Diego lighthouse keeper. Obviously not the person intended with this template. Either an article should be written about the Robert Israel who had something to do with Millennium Park, or else the name should be deleted from the template. --MelanieN (talk) 23:29, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Cress seeds always go down well at any time of the year - cress heads are easy and quick to make. Small children like things to happen quickly.
I have hydrangea petiolaris growing in a north facing position and it is doing well. It takes a while for it to cling to the wall itself so a bit of trellis stuck into your pot would help it on its way.It is in full flower at the moment. I purchased a second plant last year (for school garden) from Homebase at the end of summer - good sized plant in pot with trellis attached. It is now happily growing away in a shady spot on the school wall. Great bargain...knocked down from £25 to £4 because it was losing its leaves...which it does naturally, I love a good bargain!
Should also mention although it is deciduous, you are left with a rich brown tracery of stems in the winter after yellow autumn foliage. I think it is a great plant. Keep it fed and it will look after itself. I'll see if I can post a pic. for you.
I agree with Dove. There seems to be some variation in the spelling - spelt with an 'a' it is in my RHS book and comes from the Portulacaceae family and comes from a lot warmer climate than here - South America.
I too have received a personal message. The first I have ever received in all the years I have been on the board.
"New to the board and very dissapointed that you and others choose to reply with sarcasm. I expected polite and civil replies.If you cannot have something constructive and polite to say why bother?" Lizanne
Dear Lizanne, I am very sorry that I caused you disappointment. My comment was meant as a light hearted joke and I'm regret any offence I caused.
You are very welcome to the board and I hope that you will stick around.
Many of us have been on here for years and understand each other's sense of humour. We generally are a good bunch who are quick to say sorry and only too glad to help those with a gardening problem...however over the years there have been ups and downs - people who have turned out not to be who they said they were; people pushing their own product or service; spammers etc. so when a new person starts a thread - especially one which stirs up people's emotions as opposed to asking a general gardening query and then don't enter into the discussion it makes us wary.
Hoping after getting off on the wrong foot we can all get back in step and tiptoe through the daisies together, best wishes
I use a conitech Water scarecrow - 100% successful! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=7jHYV6nJksw
Don't go for cheap imitations - all the reviews on amazon will tell you they are nothing compared to the real thing.
Mike, a rowan is not related to the ash family and cannot be suffering from ash dieback. It is known as a mountain ash but belongs to the Sorbus genus. Ash is from a completely different genus - Fraxinus.
I had a tree surgeon around to look at my willow (which has to be taken down) and we were talking over trees. He took a look at my rowan and my whitebeam and commented that the Sorbus family (of which both are members) die a slow death....both of mine are healthy at the moment but it makes me wonder about yours. He didn't say why they die this way, when he comes back to fell my cracked willow I'll ask him some more.
Yes a bit pricey but worth every penny when I'm cutting my hawthorn hedge - Goldleaf tough touch gloves recommended by RHS.
Lizanne's one and only post ever by the look of things...is she a relative I wonder or just a 'plant'!!
Usually rotovators can just break up the roots and make the whole thing worse. I would cut down the unwanted growth and then get some old carpet and cover the part of the area you want to clear. You say wildlife garden - the wildlife will love the cow parsley and the hogwort.

You are given a set of n types of rectangular 3-D boxes, where the i^th box has height h(i), width w(i) and depth d(i) (all real numbers). You want to create a stack of boxes which is as tall as possible, but you can only stack a box on top of another box if the dimensions of the 2-D base of the lower box are each strictly larger than those of the 2-D base of the higher box. Of course, you can rotate a box so that any side functions as its base. You are not allowed to use multiple instance on a box.
This question has been asked on SO (Box stacking problem) but with not "without repetitions" constraints. How do we solve this using LIS.
I have devised the following solution, can it be debated
H[j] = max(H[j],max(H[i]|i<j, D[j] < D[i] , W[j]<W[i]+ H[j] -H[j'] )
where h[j'] is nothing but if the jth box is already used to in computing H[i] . Since rotation is allowed , H[j] could be width or depth of jth box

Reported by Mark Mascolino
I noticed in the docs that you suggest creating a
variable called ORG_APACHE_AXIS and add all jars
beneath it to the current project's cbuild path. Would
you consider a new feature that would automatically
add these jars to the build path if necessary
(likewise JUNIT if the test case option is selected. This
might be a helpful solution.
I've come up with a couple of useful adds. I think the
source directory should default to the current project
rather than what was typed in there before (it would be
ok to add a drop down to keep track of the previous
entries. Also, I think it should be made easier to choose
a WSDL within the workspace, on the filesystem outside
of the Eclipse Workspace and a url (which you are
doing). That should be able to be accomplished with
some radio buttons and a button that pops up some

Before taking cefpodoxime, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs (especially penicillins) or if you have:
- kidney disease (or if you are on dialysis); or
- a history of intestinal problems, such as colitis.
If you have any of these conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take this medication.
FDA pregnancy category B. This medication is not expected to be harmful to an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment.
Cefpodoxime passes into breast milk and could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

Take this medication exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not take the medication in larger amounts, or take it for longer than recommended by your doctor. Follow the directions on your prescription label.

Cefpodoxime oral suspension (liquid) can be taken with or without food.

A NATION CHALLENGED: THE VICTIMS; 'Iron Man,' Silly Rule Author, Comforting Mother, Solitary Adventurer
Published: April 28, 2002
(Page 2 of 4)
Mary Jean. O'Leary lost her husband, Gerald Thomas O'Leary, and her brother, Robert McCarthy, on Sept. 11. Mr. O'Leary, 34, was a sous-chef at Cantor Fitzgerald. He had just quit working at the Plaza Hotel -- he cooked for Joan Rivers's daughter's wedding there -- to work more manageable corporate hours. It got him home to Stony Point to play with his son, Michael, born on Sept. 28, 2000.
''He wanted him to walk by his first birthday,'' Mrs. O'Leary said. ''That was his big thing. Every night they would practice.'' Mr. O'Leary's father also died at 34, and he was raised by his grandfather, for whom Michael is named.
''He loved to cook,'' Mrs. O'Leary said. ''He was a great saucier; his sauces were just unbelievable.'' She would thaw a piece of meat and he would give her four or five recipes to choose from. ''I still can't figure out what he did,'' she said. ''I never watched him.'' Now both she and her sister-in-law have to learn to cook.
The two couples, who lived around a corner from each other, had a running lawncare competition. They'd steal yard implements back and forth. They'd help each other but also try to tire each other out. Who won? ''I'll have to go with Ger on that,'' Mrs. O'Leary said. ''It was pretty close.''
Everyone Was a Favorite
Greg Ernst remembers Sunday, Sept. 9, when he and his girlfriend, Alicia Titus, had been together for nine months. ''It was the first time we told each other we loved each other,'' he said. Soon after they had started dating, she had told him she demanded happiness. Not from him, but from herself.
Her father, John Titus, said she loved parachuting out of airplanes and backpacking alone in Spain and Morocco. He recalled the laughter-filled cross-country trip she took with her mother in a Volkswagen convertible piled full of stuff. Since January 2001, she had enjoyed being a flight attendant. She was on Flight 175 on Sept. 11.
''You could always count on her being in a happy, joyous mood,'' said her father, who is writing a book about her so other people can know how wonderful she was. And she had a way of making her numerous aunts, uncles and cousins think of themselves as her favorite, Mr. Titus said.
Mr. Ernst knew that her happiness ran deep. ''She laughed in her sleep; that was something I really liked,'' he said, although they never figured out what she was laughing about. ''I'd hear her laugh, and say, 'Lish, are you sleeping?' and she was asleep.''
Hands to Comfort and Heal
''I loved my mother's hands, her extensions of her soul,'' Nate Holland, now 19, said in eulogizing his mother, Cora Hidalgo Holland. ''She had hands like silken clay, forever soft and always warm. When I was a child she would tuck me into bed and run them through my hair as we talked until I could talk no more. I would drift into sleep as her fingers floated across my scalp. The second that she withdrew her hand I would awaken, her rhythmic lullaby ending, but I would still pretend to be asleep.''
For the first time in almost 25 years of marriage, Mrs. Holland and her husband were empty nesters. Three weeks later, Mrs. Holland, 52, was on Flight 11, on her way to visit her mother.
Dr. Stephen Holland fondly recalled his wife's love of sports. ''I was really pushing to take a trip to Africa this last spring, but she really negotiated hard and fast, and we ended up going to spring training,'' he said.
Nate Holland remembered how she would check on him as he slept, or pretended to: ''I can still see her propped against the doorframe, hands folded upon her elbows, her eyes intent with compassion and love. I will never forget that.''
Modest and Loving
In his 19 years at the Fire Department, Firefighter Gary P. Geidel received seven citations for valor. His wife, Mathilda, knew nothing about them. Her husband was that way. He left his work at the firehouse. He lived life at home. Later, she learned that one citation was for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
What she does know is that he wanted to buy a white farmhouse on three acres of land in Greenville, N.Y., where they would move after his retirement. At 44, he was just a couple of weeks shy of 20 years in the department, so he worked overtime on Sept. 11 to build up his pension. Firefighter Geidel, who came from a long line of firefighters, was a member of the elite Rescue Company 1 in Midtown Manhattan.
Her husband showered her with cards and love letters before and after their marriage. She knows that she gave birth to Mathilda seven years ago through in vitro fertilization after a long struggle to have children. She knows that he built a second story on their bungalow in Staten Island.
After the attacks, she called the In Vitro Fertilization Center in Downtown Brooklyn, where she had been treated, to find out if any of her husband's frozen sperm remained. When she found out that some did, she made plans to start treatment in August. She knows that she will raise the children at the farmhouse that she just bought. ''The only thing holding me together is that I can still have his children,'' she said.
An Extended Family
