XML Fodder for Java Objects with Commons Digester 2.0
The Apache Project announced the latest version of Commons Digester, which comes with less dependency and can validate XML code. Programmers use Digester to convert data from XML into Java objects.
According to the announcement, the minimum JDK requirement is now JDK 1.5. Also, the Digester project has removed its dependency on Arraystack, which means that some classes of "org.apache.commons.digester" have been changed from "Arraystack" to "java.util.Stack". Other important changes include Digester 2.0's XML validation via "javaxf.xml.validation.Schema" and the new support of commands for other XML or text documents through the W3 specification XInclude.
Digester processes XML input, creates via SAX parser interface (Simple API for XML), for example, Java object trees from XML configurations. Conversion rules are provided to the programmer either from their own Java code or from a XML configuration file, the "xmlrules". The Apache project describes the software as relatively complex, but also as flexible and powerful. A compressed TAR archive or zip file of Version 2.0 is available on the Apache project commons server for download.
Release notes specify the J2SE Developer Kit (JDK) version 1.5 as a minimum requirement, the equivalent of the official Java platform 5. Version 1.0.0 of the logging tool and the bean utils API wrapper 1.7.0 are also required. Both are, like the Digester, part of the commons department of the Apache project. The Apache Commons aim to make a wide range of programming components for Java available for use in as many projects as possible. As with all Apache software, Digester is protected by the Apache license.

From cantonment to careers
More than 803 young Nepali men and women have opted for voluntary rehabilitation packages that are being offered by the United Nations Country Team (UNCT) under the auspices of the Government of Nepal.
Over 408 have already started training in regional centres or studying in schools close to home.
The rehabilitation packages are offered to 4,008 former Maoist army personnel who were disqualified during the UN-led verification process in 2007.
In January-February 2010, there were 2,394 personnel officially discharged from the seven cantonments across Nepal with technical and logistical support from UNDP, UNICEF and UNFPA. On 23 March 2010, the Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist declared the remaining 1,614 officially discharged from Maoist army chain of command.
Under the rehabilitation programme, four sectoral packages have been designed which include vocational skills training, micro-enterprise development, health related training and education. The dischargees are eligible to sign up for rehabilitation packages for up-to 12 months. Funds for the rehabilitation are provided by the UN Peace Fund for Nepal, which is supported by the Government of Denmark, Norway, the United Kingdom, Canada and Switzerland and also the UN Peace Fund.
A toll-free number that operates six days a week and is accessible across the country was established for the dischargees to contact the UN about the rehabilitation packages. Until now, 803 dischargees have been referred to the Service Providers that provide training and learning at the regional and local levels; and 408 participants have begun their training or enrolled in school, 29% of them women. (Women made up 30% of the 4,008 personnel disqualified in 2007).
Ashutosh, 20, one of the trainees under vocational skills training programme says he is happy with the course he is receiving in driving and light mechanics . He recalls joining the Maoists army when he was 14-15 and spent most of his time in the jungle. He did not like living in the cantonments in the beginning but he was sad to leave his friends behind when he was sent from cantonment as disqualified. However, he shows no signs of anger and is starting to look into the future. "After the training I'll try to find work, if it does not work then probably I will go overseas."
UNDP Country Director Anne-Isabelle Degryse-Blateau says, "we are encouraged to see trainees like Ashutosh looking at new life options with the packages UNDP is offering. We are working hard to facilitate more people enroll in these sectoral packages. Rehabilitation is an important step forward in Nepal's peace process."

- Moscow Free Tour rated "excellent" by travelers
"A very enjoybale day in Moscow. We had a very nice and knowledgeable guide Anastasia.(Nastia) She was very passionate about the City and we learnt so much in our brief four hours walk with her! Certainly this walking tour added a lot of value to our Moscow Holiday. A great idea to educate visitors about Russia and Moscow. The group was intimate enough to ask questions and stop for snacks etc..we thoriughly enjoyed it and would highly reccomend it.Carry on doing a great job!"
"I really enjoyed the tour, it was a great experience, very informative and fun. I will definitely tell everybody about that tour, keep it it is a fantastic idea!"
"Sorry I do not remember the names :( ... They were very talkative and very into everything. I think they both really love the city, and they made me feel like this to. They knew much about History, which was very informative! Great guides!!!"
"We partook of the fantastic Petersburg Free Tour. Due to our timing during the low season (shockingly not everyone is flocking to Moscow while the average temperature is 15F), it ended up being just us and Sonia, the afore-mentioned super-guide. She quickly ascertained the limited scope of our wanderings.."

Artists who've never won a Grammy but still could... or should
Bjork, Snoop Dogg, Katy Perry, The Beach Boys and others deserve some explanations
Number of times nominated: 2
Music lesson: Vermont's well-traveled jamband has been selling out mega-sized venues for years, often playing multiple three-hour sets over a long weekend. Their epic shows have been documented officially and by fans the whole time, but their improvisational sound doesn't lend itself to the single-driven -- or even album-driven -- radio format so loved by the Grammys. Instead, their sole nomination came in the aesthetic department; they were nominated for Best Boxed Or Special Limited Edition Package for their 7-DVD Boxed Set "The Clifford Ball" in 2009.

What would you like to do with them? If you're running AIX 5.3 TL5 or

As I mentioned in my last Tuesday Tutorial, Party City sent me a box of luau goodies to see what magic I could come up with. I've never done a luau party before, so I was super excited! I thought nothing would be more fitting than an Aloha To Summer Party. Invite your friends over and celebrate the end of summer in style!
There are so many fun photos I had to break this up into 2 posts...today is the adult set-up. I wanted more of an elegant island feel and didn't want it to scream luau, but whisper softly in your ear.
I love using burlap for texture and it is a perfect base to mimic the rough sand and grass of your favorite tropical get-away. A few yards from your local craft store are all you need. I simply added a few seashells, a starfish and a curious lobster.
Make your life easy! A crockpot full of pulled pork and King's Hawaiian sweet dinner rolls make the perfect sliders. Add fun fruit skewers, slices of pineapples and chips and your guests will be most satisfied.
Welcome each guest to dine with a pineapple party favor filled with treats. Well, they look like pineapples to me, anyways. Take a peek back at the tutorial for the how-to. Layering your table is a great way to add interest to your table. I used wooden chargers and and small bamboo plates for each setting.
I love dressing up cake stands! How fun are these luau skirts? I made them with strips of fringed crepe paper, taped them to the edges and wrapped with flower leis. Adding a little something to your cake stands is an easy detail many people overlook.
My square Martha Stewart stands have an 5/8" width on the edge so it's easy to find coordinating ribbon to create a band. Even layering the top with scrapbook paper adds a serious punch.
This table couldn't be all serious...it needed a few totems to watch over everyone. Do they look familiar? I adapted them from Wants And Wishes' Halloween skeletons. This time I used different flavors of yogurt-covered pretzels and Little Debbie Zebra Cakes.
Supply all the ingredients and have guests make their own instead. You would be surprised to see adults love to play with food too. Perhaps a friendly competition for the most interesting totem to up the ante?
You can't have a luau without drinks! I created a little drink station with a great tiki lantern and tabletop torches. A little luau fringe around the table edge and you're set. Everyone knows a big punch bowl full of a blue beverage hits the spot. Add a fun twist to the punch bowl by adding drink parasols to a Styrofoam wreath, then set the punch bowl inside the wreath.
OK, how awesome is this guy? It's one of those fake flame deals and I've never seen them before! Every time I look at it, I think of Finding Nemo...Shark bait! Hoo ha ha!
Check out Party City's extensive luau party section for more decorating tips and ideas, from tropical cocktail recipes to a clever photo booth idea. Right now, lots of items are on clearance and for a limited time, there is free shipping on all orders! I just ordered more tissue fans and honeycomb balls in the colors I can't find at my local store, and you can't beat those prices anywhere!
I couldn't squeeze everything in this post so come back next time for the kids' table.
Wicker chargers, bamboo plates and forks, drink parasols, tiki lantern, tabletop torches, luau table fringe, assorted paper lanterns and flower leis courtesy of Party City

REVIEW SNAPSHOT®by PowerReviews
Acacia Wood Teabag Container
Reviewed by 6 customers
Comments about Acacia Wood Teabag Container:
This box holds individual tea bags quite nicely and good to put on the table for guest to choose their type of tea
Comments about Acacia Wood Teabag Container:
Nice wood, and it's the perfect size to bring to the table to let guests pick their own tea. Makes a fun conversation piece. It holds 16 individual serving boxes of Revolution Tea (which is the best full-leaf tea in a silk infuser bag, and also sold here). It can hold regular tea packs or the little Revolution boxes.
Comments about Acacia Wood Teabag Container:
I find this handy to organize my tea bags. I can now find all my tea in one place and see all my choices. Plus, it's pretty :)
Comments about Acacia Wood Teabag Container:
I love tea, but dislike having tons of boxes of tea stacked in my pantry, so I was excited to find this cute tea storage box! The product is well made and looks great in my kitchen; I just wish it were a bit larger. I still have boxes of tea in my pantry, but may purchase another tea storage box to solve that issue!
Comments about Acacia Wood Teabag Container:
Scoured the internet to find a better way to store our variety of tea bags. I Liked the reviews on this one so found it in the store and brought two home.
Comments about Acacia Wood Teabag Container:
I actually bought this as a prize for a bridal shower/Mad Hatter Tea Party though I wouldn't mind having one for myself. It looks nice and seems well made, though I didn't check it out or keep it for any length of time much less use it.

The unanimous decision means Portuguesa will drop into Serie B next year even though they ended the season two points and five places ahead of Fluminense, who had been the first team to be relegated a year after winning the league title.
Portuguesa, a small club from Sao Paulo, made the mistake in the final match of the season a week last Sunday.
"We're very sad, but we expected it," full-back Brayan said.
"We can appeal and see what we can do. But this was no surprise. We have to accept it, no matter what division we're in we'll sweat to do our best."
They were punished for introducing Heverton in the 77th minute of a scoreless draw against Gremio. The midfielder had not sat out the second game of his two-game suspension.
Portuguesa said during Monday's hearing that their lawyer had not informed them of the outstanding suspension and said it would be overly harsh to relegate them for fielding a player who played 13 minutes and did not affect the outcome of the game.
But judges said ignorance was no defence.
"It's no excuse for them to say they didn't know," said judge Paulo Valed Perry. "There was a clear mistake by Portuguesa."
It was not the first time Fluminense, traditionally the club of Rio de Janeiro's white elites, have been saved from the second division by controversial off-the-field decisions.
In 1999, the team won Serie C and were scheduled to play in Serie B a year later. However, an unanticipated reform of the league system saw them lifted straight into the first division.
In a later decision on Monday, the court also docked four points from Flamengo.
The Rio club played former Arsenal full-back Andre Santos against Cruzeiro when he should have sat out a match for suspension.
Flamengo argued the suspension was picked up in a Cup tie and that the punishment should not apply to a league game.
The decision means that Flamengo end the season in 16th place, just one point above the revised relegation zone.

NJ man dies in deck fall in Vermont
Alcohol believed to be a factor
Published 10:36 AM EDT Aug 08, 2012
Police say a New Jersey man visiting family in Vermont has died from a 12-foot fall from a deck onto rocks.
Police said 50-year-old Gerard Conroy suffered a head injury as a result of the fall early Wednesday. He was found unresponsive and was taken to a hospital, where he died.
Conroy was visiting family members on Lake Dunmore in Salisbury.
Police do not suspect foul play. They say alcohol may be a factor. An autopsy has been scheduled.

This morning I read about another prosecutor getting suspended for ethics violations. Ethics can be a complicated field of law. I believe there are 59 Rules listed under the heading Rules of Professional Conduct. There are scores of cases on the subject. It can be difficult. But it doesn't have to be, particularly for prosecutors. Here are my four simple rules.
- Don't become the lowest common denominator. I think this is simple, but for clarification I will explain it like this. You are prosecuting a bad guy. You think he broke the law and should be punished. Don't stoop to his level of conduct. Don't break the law just because you think he did.
- Don't lie. Cops get to lie to suspects. They don't get to lie on the witness stand. Fact witnesses sometimes like to lie. Prosecutors are never allowed to lie. Don't let your witness lie on the stand.
- Don't cheat. Not disclosing evidence in a timely manner is, for all intents and purposes, the same as not disclosing it. Not disclosing evidence is the same as hiding it. Hiding evidence is cheating.
- Don't disobey court orders. If you don't like a judge's order, do what we do: Appeal it or move on.
That's it. An entire rule book and years and years of jurisprudence boiled down into four simple rules. Actually, I think rule number one takes care of it all. I would add one other bit of advice. If you are questioning yourself about a potential course of conduct, then the answer is you probably shouldn't do it.

BP released its second quarter results today, which include a $700 million charge for fatality and persoanl injury claims related to the Texas City refinery explosion on March 23. Th number represents a reserve the company has set aside, a worst-case estimate of what it will have to pay. Hundreds of cases are pending, although some high profile ones have been settled.
BP has been opening the checkbook to resolve the litigation. So far, it's paid out about $120 million so far.
The release barely mentions the refinery blast, which killed 15 people and injured more than 170 others. That's in keeping with the style BP used in its 500-page annual report, issued earlier this month, that also made scant mention of the disaster.
To find the charge in the latest release, you have to dig down to page 7 of the 28-page earnings document.
Don't worry, though, the legal settlements are barely a blip in the company's larger financial picture. BP's profit rose 29 percent, to $5.6 billion.

This was one of "goldstars best", as I truly enjoyed this show. It was non stop humor and songs that takes you back to an innocent decade, that is really funny. I WILL see this one again. The actors were all so cute and really talented, I loved...continued
Since its humble genesis as a lab production at the University of Nebraska 18 years ago, Soda Pop has floored audiences with its odd blend of broad, stylized acting and zealous commitment to wringing truths from even the most absurd scenarios. Written by Los Angles actor and writer Jim Hanna (A Dish Served Cold, Corpus, Pelvic Variations), the play has blossomed into a nationwide sensation, appearing at numerous theatres across the country, including long-running productions in New York and Chicago (Hanna has even written a "family-friendly" version of Soda Pop that has been performed at countless high schools throughout the US).
With each successful production, the show has evolved as Hanna tweaks and updates the near melodrama of Soda Pop. The essence, however, always remains the same: gifted comic actors throwing themselves headlong into the preposterous tale.
After a 13 year absence from L.A. stages, the Ark Theatre is proud to present the latest iteration of this loud, hilarious and often inane musical excoriation of the 1950's.
Hearts will sink, break and soar as Betty, Bobby, Mary, Jerry, Peggy, Joey, Susie, and Tommy scramble mightily for dates to the Prom at Thomas Jefferson Senior High. Audiences will tap toes, roar with laughter and question their very sanity as their memories of High School are mercilessly skewered. Featuring a talented cast of Ark Theatre veterans and newcomers, Soda Pop will shock with its brazenness and charm with its sweetness.

Sarah McLachlan Blue Lyrics
Last updated: 06/16/2010 12:00:00 PM
Blue, songs are like tattoos
You know I've been to sea betore
Crown and anchor me
Or let me sail away
Blue, here is a song for you
Ink of a pin
Underneath the skin
An empty space to fill in
Well there're so many sinking now
You've got to keep thinking
You can make it thru these waves
Acid, booze, and ass
Needles, guns, and grass
Lots of laughs, lots of laughs
Well everybody's saying that hell's the hippest way to go
Well I don't think so
But I'm gonna take a look around it though
Blue, I love you.
Blue, here is a shell for you
Inside you'll hear a sigh
A foggy lullaby
There is your song from me.

Get the perfect look of airbrush eyeshadow with this beautiful marriage of hydrating and comforting ingredients that will give you that soft radiant glow you are looking for, as it glides effortlessly across your lid. You will have flawless, luminous coverage, but with the control and precision of a brush.

Start with the longer side of the double-ended brush, which is the blender side. Apply the shadow all over the lid with this side of the brush. The application is so easy, you can't make a mistake. Apply lightly for a sheer wash of color, or use more product for an amped-up look. Next, take the shorter side of the brush, the crease brush, and apply the shadow above the lid into the crease using a windshield wiper motion. Also use this end of the brush to put shadow on the lower lash line for a soft, smoky effect. For extra fierceness, line with Starlight eyeliner (not included) and use two coats of Volumizing Mascara (not included)!

To the Editor:—
The article by Short, Dienes and Bauer on "Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Comparative Evaluation of the Commonly Employed Diagnostic Tests" (The Journal, June 19) is a timely and much needed study of an important phase of arthritis. Unfortunately, the discussion of the immature polymorphonuclear count, in which the authors appear to use the terms "Schilling count" and "filament-nonfilament count" synonymously, may prove confusing to your readers. They group the results of various reports on the young polymorphonuclear counts in arthritis without comment on the differences in technic and significance and state, for example, that "in respect to Schilling or filament-nonfilament counts, conclusions are not unanimous, with results ranging from 52 per cent, 68 per cent, 78 per cent and 91 per cent to 100 per cent." A similar lack of clarity in considering these diagnostic polymorphonuclear counts in another recent publication (Cecil, R. L.: The Diagnosis and Treatment

Manchester United Message Board
What makes someone a good (or real) ManU Fan?
Of all the team boards this is by far the worst for: accusing others of not being "real" fans, telling fellow ManU fans to go and support another team and being unnecessarily abusive to each other. I wonder why this is?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

nien thanks,you can call me ian,lol
We want fans to show more class and respect.
We won't expect fans just glory hunting to last long becaue they don't understand any team will go through ups and downs.
What ASF has done earned huge respect from the world of football, even from the one claimed he is "the special".
But ASF was bashed by our own fans constantly here just because ASF didn't do what the fan likes. Those kids needs to be educated and be more positive.
As a fan, we don't have to agree with every single decision the club/the manager has. But we also should not point fingers and demand for a change every time it happens.

if you like manUtd then you're a fan , simple as that. Who cares where you're from , how long you've been a supporter , how many useless facts you know about the club/players , where you live now etc. (i mean , if you lived in Newcastle you're gonna want to support Utd aren't you!!!) - it's the people who aren't fans and don't like Utd who are usually responsible for all the rubbish on these boards

That and the fact that we have more fans than the other teams so we are bound to cover more opinions.

Graduate Council Minutes
Tuesday, February 29, 2008
263 Cartwright
Members Present: VJ Agarwal, Ashley Burrows, Rob Dixon, Tim Donahue, Jonathan Majak, Ashley Olson, Kasi Periyasamy, , S.N. Rajagopal, David Reineke, Michele Thorman, Bill Schwan, Betty DeBoer (Alt)
Members Excused: Tom Kuffel
Consultants Excused: Ray Abhold, Chris Bakkum, Lise Graham, Charles Martin-Stanley
Others Present: Gary Gilmore
1. Meeting called to order at 10:02 am by Bill Schwan.
2. There were no Graduate Faculty memberships from CBA to review. Therefore, Bill Schwan re-appointed Tom Kuffel and David Reineke to be on the Thesis Awards committee. The thesis must be from May or December 2007.
3. Motion (Tim Donahue/David Reineke) to convene in a closed session to consider personal academic information for a student who is appealing an academic dismissal from a graduate program as provided in section 19.85 (1)(f) of Wisconsin Statutes. Roll Call vote was unanimous.
a Motion (David Reineke/Ashley Burrows) to return the appeal to the program level for review. (9-1-1; Passed)
b Recommendations for the program to consider in the review:
i. The composition of the team to ensure that the same individuals are not on the grade appeal and dismissal appeal committees. Faculty representatives can be outside of the department.
ii. When the decisions have great impact to a student there should be greater and meticulous due diligence to the faculty bylaws and the rights of the student. The Graduate Studies Appeals Process can serve as a model.
iii. Medical evidence as provided by the student as a mitigating factor for a potential future plan. June 30, 2008 was viewed as a reasonable time frame for the student to produce this information.
iv. Encourage more details for the graduate committee to consider in the decisions so that if there is an appeal, we can understand the basis of the original denial.
4. Motion (Ashley Burrows/David Reineke) to move out of closed session.
5. Everyone is encouraged to attend the Research Celebration on March 7.
6. At a future date, The Graduate Studies Appeal process will need to be revisited.
7. Meeting concluded at 11:50 am.
Respectfully Submitted,
Rob Dixon

OAKLAND -- The iconic I. Magnin building in downtown Oakland has been bought by the same entrepreneur who bought the landmark Tribune Tower building nearby, in a deal that will bring hundreds of new jobs.
CallSocket Holding, a group led by Thomas Henderson, paid $9.8 million for the green-hued art deco building, which was built in 1930 and was a store for the retailer for decades at Broadway and 20th Street. The sale was completed a few weeks ago, Alameda County records show.
Henderson intends to operate a call center in the building, and already has leased space to two software companies -- Minted.com, a San Francisco-based firm that is expanding to Oakland, and Vigilent, which is shifting its headquarters from El Cerrito to downtown Oakland.
In December 2011, Henderson paid $8 million for the Tribune Tower, which served for decades as the headquarters of the Oakland Tribune.
"Oakland is a great city, in a great location, and there are a lot of opportunities here," Henderson said. "We want to bring a lot of new jobs to Oakland."
He said the two call centers that CallSocket will operate in the I. Magnin building and the Tribune Tower will create more than 500 jobs. The call center in the Tribune Tower already has begun operating and has 50 employees.
"This kind of investment and employment activity is going to be great for downtown Oakland, very positive," said John Dolby, a senior vice president with Cassidy Turley. "The I. Magnin building is unique; it is a great space."
Vigilent, which provides software so data centers can manage their energy use, and Minted.com, an e-commerce site, are each expected to create about 50 jobs at the I. Magnin building.
"Oakland is a vibrant, changing city," said Christopher Kryzan, a vice president with Vigilent. "Access to BART and other public transit is very important to us. We also wanted access to distribution centers in the East Bay and the Oakland airport."
In other deals in downtown Oakland, CallSocket last year bought the Roxie Theater, and the Community Bank building.
Henderson has teamed up with fellow entrepreneur Chris Pastena, to open a new restaurant in the Tribune building that's called Tribune Tavern. The two also have opened a restaurant in Jack London Square called Lungomare.
"People get it about Oakland, they have a passion about Oakland," Pastena said. "They see they can have a great lifestyle in Oakland. So people are taking a risk on that growth in the downtown and in Oakland because of that passion."

Arborvitae is one of the most versatile, easy-to-grow evergreens suited to cold northern landscapes, used as specimen plants, hedges, foundation plantings and windbreaks. Arborvitaes are highly adaptable plants. Not only can they be used in many ways, but another great asset is that arborvitaes grow quickly, making them a relatively affordable evergreen.Thuja is the botanical genus of arborvitae.
Unfortunately, it doesn't have an easy common name, although it is occasionally referred to as white cedar. Arborvitae is pronounced ar-bor-vi-te. There are many different species of arborvitae growing world-wide, but only members of the species Thuja occidentalis are truly hardy in our climate. Native to the northern and eastern sections of the Northern hemisphere, Thuja occidentalis is also called American arborvitae. There are several other species that are almost hardy for our area and, unfortunately, you often see them for sale by mass marketers in our area. We'd only recommend trying these other plants if you have a warm micro-climate and want to try a marginally hardy species. Arborvitaes are evergreens, but like many other evergreens, the color of their foliage may change during the cold weather. Several varieties develop a yellowish/brown overtone in winter. If this bothers you, try growing the 'Techny' variety. It is very resistant to winter discoloration. Arborvitae foliage looks like flat fans formed by small, overlapping scales. They are technically needles, but they don't look like it or feel like it. When you bruise the foliage of an arborvitae, it gives off a very pleasant fragrance, similar to perennial tansy, reminiscent of citrus. Adaptable, fast growing and easy-to-grow, what more could you ask for in a plant? Like all plants, arborvitaes do have their preferences. Ideally, they would like to grow in a sunny situation in rich, well-drained, neutral pH soil that stays evenly moist. Unlike many other plants that struggle when they don't get exactly what they want, arborvitaes adapt well to a wide variety of situations. They will tolerate heavy soil or moist soil. They also do well in a wide range of soil pH.
Arborvitaes will even do well in a shady situation (as long as it's not dark shade). Keep in mind that all plants need some special care until they have established a good root system. They develop their ability to withstand stress once they have settled in. When siting your arborvitae, there are a few special considerations. First, if you have deer, you may want to choose a different plant. Consider snow load: their branches are flexible and when arborvitaes are planted where the snow falls off the roof onto them, they can have problems with winter damage. Arborvitaes will also have occasional problems with an insect called red spider mite. This is most common on plants that are near a brick wall or planted under an overhang where they seldom get direct rain. Red spider mites love it hot, dry and dusty. Given those circumstances, they can do considerable damage to an otherwise healthy arborvitae. If you have to plant an arborvitae where those conditions exist, try to make a practice of rinsing the dust off the plant on a regular basis during warm weather. Red spider mites are sucking insects that are so small you can't see them on the foliage. They give a rough, sandy, speckled appearance to arborvitae foliage. If you suspect you might have spider mites, place a sample in a plastic bag and bring it in to a horticulturist at Bachman's for diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
One of the best features of arborvitaes is their tolerance of being sheared on a regular basis, making them good candidates for formal plantings and hedges. They should be pruned in early summer (right after the new growth has fully expanded) and they can be pruned again in mid- to late-August. The key to keeping pruned arborvitaes looking good for years and years is to start early and stay after them. If you want to keep them pruned to a four foot hedge, don't wait until they are five feet and try to hold them back. Starting before they reach the desired size encourages good thick growth and strong branching.
Like all evergreens, arborvitaes will shed some of their inner, oldest growth each year. Evergreens do not hold their needles forever, they just hold them year-round for several years. How long an evergreen holds its foliage depends on the variety. Arborvitae tend to hold foliage 3-4 years. As the plant ages, each fall the oldest foliage will yellow, brown and shed. That is natural. Arborvitae varieties can be grouped together as either globe form or upright form. Globe arborvitae basically grow the same height and width. Upright arborvitae vary greatly in height, but they are all significantly taller than they are wide. Here is a list of the varieties of arborvitaes that are commonly available in local nurseries. Unless otherwise noted, they are all hardy to Zone 3. We have noted those varieties that are more shade tolerant than others. If you are interested in a variety that isn't on this list, stop by and ask one of our horticulturists. They can probably find out more about it for you.

June 13, 2014
We are excited to announce the first three of nine new expeditions that kick off in 2015. Join us to study and explore the coral reefs of the Cayman Islands, the desert of Joshua Tree National Park in California, or the oceans of South Africa. Get up close to sharks, tropical fish, and desert lizards, and help protect the fragile landscapes that all these species call home.
Rescuing Coral Reefs in the Cayman Islands
Scientists predict a dire future for coral reefs because of climate change and overfishing. By some estimates, they could disappear from the world's oceans by 2050.
But Dr. Carrie Manfrino, the lead scientist of this new expedition, isn't giving up on coral reefs or the wildlife that depends on them. "I want Earthwatch volunteers to know that we all have an important role in saving biodiversity," she says. She's playing her part by exploring ways to grow new coral and researching the ocean conditions that reefs need to thrive.
Volunteers who join her on Little Cayman, a Caribbean island with only about 170 residents that's famous for its scuba diving and bird-watching, will snorkel and record the condition of coral and the location of certain endangered species. The reefs off this island have managed to stay relatively healthy, so they may hold clues to what will make reefs around the world more resilient. Volunteers will also help grow staghorn coral in the ocean "nursery" that will then be transplanted to strengthen wild reefs.
Learn more about Rescuing Coral Reefs in the Cayman Islands, or sign up today.
Saving Joshua Tree
Climate change could dramatically reshape the fate of the Joshua tree, the iconic desert plant (actually a type of yucca) that gives California's Joshua Tree National Park its name. One model predicts that, if temperatures rise at the predicted rate, Joshua trees will disappear from 90% of their current range by the end of the century.
The entire desert ecosystem, not just the Joshua tree, could face grave threats from climate change. But scientists can't know what will happen to deserts, or how to protect them, without careful monitoring of changes over time. "We live for data," says lead scientist Dr. Cameron Barrows.
He and his fellow researchers can't get the amount of data they need without volunteers. Those who join them will hike Joshua Tree National Park, which has a stunning array of wildlife because it's at the meeting point of two different desert habitats, the Mojave and the Colorado. They will track and measure birds, reptiles, amphibians, and vegetation. Volunteers will help build a collection of, as Dr. Barrows says, "More data than will exist anywhere in the world on this ecosystem."
Learn more about Saving Joshua Tree, or sign up today.
Discovering Sharks in South Africa
One-quarter of the world's shark and ray species face extinction because of overfishing and habitat destruction. To protect these species, researchers first need to understand them.
"South Africa has such diversity of sharks," says lead scientist Katie Gledhill. "Almost nothing is known about some of these species." Those are the animals you'll observe, catch, measure, and safely release on this expedition: species such as shysharks, catsharks, and pajama sharks, some of which live nowhere else in the world.
Gledhill and her team are taking the first comprehensive look at how these sharks use their habitat in Walker Bay, South Africa, and how big their populations are.

When Georges Melies was making movies at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, many thought his work was some form of wizardry. In the age of cinema infancy, only a magician could create the strange and exotic worlds like those that filled his movies.
Moviegoers have become more sophisticated and it now takes a movie as wondrous and bewitching as Martin Scorsese's "Hugo" to make them believe that magic still does exist in films. From its spectacular look to unforgettable performances, "Hugo" is spellbinding.
The film reminds us that ever since the first images flickered on theater walls, the best movies are the ones that take us on a journey. This journey is pure magic.
Grade: A
"Puss in Boots"
Antonio Banderas' brilliant voice performance makes Puss a star. It's not just hearing macho words coming from such a small character that works — it's the actor's performance. He sells this script with the enthusiasm of a telemarketer on speed.
Salma Hayek also provides verbal punch. Her first foray into voice work is the cat's meow. In a hard combination to get right, she delivers power while giving the character a softer edge. The film is both adventurous and funny enough to have all ages purring.
Grade: B+
Also new
"Mission: Impossible — The '89 TV Season": Mr. Phelps (Peter Graves) leads his teams on missions.
"I Melt With You": College friends gather together for an unforgettable weekend.
"Midsomer Murders: Set 19": John Nettles stars in the full-length mysteries set in Midsomer County.
"Here Come the Brides: The Complete Second Season": Bobby Sherman stars.

Choco Cornet GET!
May 31, 2007 | Author: Adun | In: Anime Blogs, Anime Randoms, Everyday Life
Anime has always portrayed various well known foods, or snacks in particular. Onegai Teacher had Pocky. Kanon had taiyaki and strawberry sundaes. Shakugan no Shana had melon bread. And now there is Lucky Star, and this time it brings along choco cornets. Konata's staple intake of choco cornets for lunch has definitely made my otaku burning passion to try one myself, but living out as far as I do from the city, all seemed to be in vain. But alas, today was a trip into the city, and heading into one of my regular places to buy sweet bread, I found it!
For my Sydney-sider readers, I found this at BreadTop, which is located on the Ground Floor of World Square. Although the conversation they had in episode one got me thinking of which do you see as the head. Although I couldn't pick which one, I decided to buy two so I could try eating them from different ends. So far I've eaten one but I'm not going to describe what I think of it since I'm not a food critic. But still, for those who want one and be like Konata, now you know where to get one. Boy do I feel like a geek, lol.
UPDATE: I just ate the second one from the thin end and the chocolate just oozed out. Luckily I was eating in the kitchen so I didn't make too much of a mess.

Like The Sun Summary
Can anyone summarise "Like the Sun" by R. K. Narayan?
3 Answers | Add Yours
This story by R. K. Narayan features Sekhar, who is a teacher with a belief that just as people avoid staring at the sun, likewise people avoid confronting the truth. He recognises that people deliberately alter what they say to avoid hurting or shocking others. To prove his point and as an experiment, he decides to speak and receive only the truth for one day, no matter what the consequences might be. He starts the day as he means to continue by telling his wife precisely what he thinks of her cooking (foolish man!), and then gives his opinion of someone who has just died. Then his headmaster, his boss, who has spent lots of money on music lessons, asks his opinion of his singing. Sekhar is an authority on musical matters and the headmaster's performance is terrible, and Sekhar tells him so. The next day, nervous about how he will respond, Sekhar is surprised to be thanked by his headmaster for telling the truth, but he gives Sekhar one hundred papers to mark in a single night. Sekhar feels that "sitting up all night with a hundred test papers was a small price to pay for the luxury of practicing Truth."
THANKS! This came in handy !:)

Inslee organizes transition Wash. governor team despite continued vote counting
Originally published on Wed November 7, 2012 3:13 pm
The race for Washington governor remains too close to call. But Democrat Jay Inslee said Wednesday he's already forming a transition team to prepare to take office. The former congressman leads Republican attorney general Rob McKenna 51 percent to 49 percent.
In a Seattle press conference, Inslee acknowledged ballots are still being counted. But he said he's confident enough to begin the transition process.
"We feel it's important to do that. We have some big challenges and great opportunities and we want to hit the ground running. And I'm very excited to get that ball rolling."
The next vote count from populous King County is expected to come late Wednesday.
Republican Rob McKenna has not conceded the race and has told supporters it may take a few days to determine the outcome.

Blissful Baby Sleep Coaching provides tired parents with gentle sleep solutions and individualized guidance on baby sleep coaching for children nearing 6 months to 5 years.
Peaceful nights are possible!
~ As a Gentle Sleep Coach, we partner with you to transform your sleepless nights into a household with healthy sleep habits.~
One out of every four families have babies or young children that struggle with a variety of sleep issues and disruptions. It is a known fact that babies and children need the proper quality and quantity of sleep to pursue their full cognitive, emotional and physical development. Parents assume sleeping is a developmental milestone that comes naturally, just like walking, but, in reality, healthy sleep habits are actually a learned skill. In parenthood, we coach our children in many ways throughout their lives. So, just like reading and riding a bike, it is important for a parent to acknowledge and feel empowered to coach their children on how to independently and peacefully go to sleep and stay asleep. Seeking the assistance of a professional sleep coach may be the right solution if you are experiencing any of the following sleep scenarios and you desire a change.
- Your child needs lots of "assistance" in order to fall asleep. You are rocking, swinging, or nursing/bottle-feeding your child to sleep;
- Your child has trouble going to sleep and staying asleep and wakes several times throughout the night;
- Your child ends up in your bed at some point during the night, and yet nobody is sleeping well in this arrangement;
- Your child wakes up before 6 a.m. but is still exhausted and irritable;
- Your child takes short naps or no naps, but clearly needs more daytime sleep;
- Your child's sleep habits are changing and what used to work, no longer works at bedtime or naptime;
- Your child's bedtime routine seems unusually long and arduous and requires too many "special requests";
- You and your spouse are having disagreements on how to handle your child's demanding sleep routine;
- You are simply exhausted from your child's inconsistent sleep patterns, and thus, you are feeling overwhelmed and no longer know what to do.
As a trained and certified Gentle Sleep Coach, I can help you unravel and understand the current sleep issues. I offer Gentle Sleep Coaching services for children nearing 6 months to 5 years old. Sleep Education for newborns (0-5 months) is also available. We will co-create a personalized and attainable gentle sleep program based on your family's individual situation and desired goals. Together, we can teach your child to put themselves to sleep and stay asleep!

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- The National Weather Service is reporting a tornado touched down in Burke County Monday night.
The NWS says the EF1 tornado touched down 12 miles southwest of Waynesboro at approximately 9:01 p.m.
The report says the tornado took down trees, severely damaged field irrigation systems and destroyed cattle barns and heavy equipment buildings.
Six dairy farms were damaged by the storm, one of which is an organic vegetable farm that sells statewide.
The tornado stemmed from a severe storm that brought wind damage, heavy rains and hail to many portions of the greater Augusta area.
Have any photos of the damage from the Waynesboro area? Send them to us at firstname.lastname@example.com or post on our Facebook page.

California Approves Rules to Cut Auto Greenhouse Emissions
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) approved new regulations on September 24th requiring automakers to sell vehicles that produce lower emissions of greenhouse gases. The new regulations begin to phase-in during the 2009 model year and gradually tighten until 2016, when the average new car or light truck sold in California will be required to emit 30 percent lower greenhouse gases than today's vehicles. The CARB staff estimates that costs for the added technology needed to meet the rule will average about $325 per vehicle in 2012 and about $1050 per vehicle in 2016. However, lower operating costs for the vehicles will result in a net savings to consumers, according to analyses by CARB. See the CARB press release and the full regulatory documents.
Although restricting greenhouse gas emissions from cars is often equated with fuel economy, that's not the full story. In June, CARB issued a report on greenhouse gas reduction technologies that suggested a variety of fuel-saving technologies—including improved engine technologies, turbocharging combined with smaller engines, and automated manual transmissions—but also suggested technologies to cut emissions of refrigerants from cars' air conditioning systems. Many refrigerants are powerful greenhouse gases. See the report (PDF 1.1 MB). Download Acrobat Reader.

Brancusi, Constantin
(1876–1957), Romanian sculptor, who spent much of his working life in France. His sculpture represents an attempt to move away from a representational art and to capture the essence of forms by reducing them to their ultimate, almost abstract, simplicity.

Nothing Gold Can Stay
by Robert Frost
Nothing Gold Can Stay Transience Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #4
Then leaf subsides to leaf. (5)
This line refers to the early leaf (actually a flower) turning into a normal, green leaf. The word "subsides" lets us know that this transformation isn't exactly a good thing. "Subsides" means to sink down, so the change from early to later leaf is a step down. It would be nice if things always changed for the better, but this poem suggests that might not be so—like it or not.
Quote #5
So Eden sank to grief, (6)
If there's an archetypal example of impermanence, the Garden of Eden is it. The famous biblical story of original sin shows how, at least in the Bible, humans have never been able to exist in a state of paradisiacal perfection. There's something in the nature of the world, and in human nature, that leads to transience.
Quote #6
So dawn goes down to day. (7)
Again, the poem hints that something is changing for the worse. When we think about dawn, we normally think about the sun rising. That's a positive thing, filling us with anticipation of the warmth of the day. But the negative idea of dawn going down to day makes us think about how we'll miss the beautiful colors of dawn once it's gone.

Hinrunde Review – Will the real FC Nürnberg please stand up?
A look back at FC Nürnberg's Hinrunde does not paint Der Club in the most flattering light. The Franconians currently sit 14th in the league table with a 5-5-7 record after the first 17 matches, which included a 6 match winless streak, and the club was unceremoniously ousted from the DFB Pokal in the 1st round by 4th tiered side TSV Havelse. To make matters worse, on the 22nd of December it was announced that manager Dieter Hecking would be leaving immediately to take up the head coaching position at […]Read more

Ryan Briscoe(#6 Team Penske Honda)pole qualifier, 1st pole of 2010, 9th career IndyCar pole:
made some changes to the car after practice and the car was really strong. It was a picture-perfect
qualifying run. The gearing is critical, especially when it's windy like this. When you get it right – like we
did today – it makes a big difference. But there are a lot of good cars out there, including my teammates,
so I expect a really competitive race tomorrow."
