My other car is a convertible SUV.
Does someone hear the ice cream man? Yeah, he's over there – run! Hurry, run! Oh– O NOES! HE MELTED!
A semi truck fell right on top of a small car, and rescuers had to use a crane and the jaws of life to get to him. The most amazing part – he walks away!
The back of the Camel Toe Recovery truck says "We'll dig you out", does it really take a truck?
This truck may only be a semi, but is fully pimped-out. Who needs trucker speed when you have 2,500,000 watts of neon keeping you awake!
Thank God for dash-cams! Imagine this scene hurtling towards you: a truck full of cows skids across the road and flips over. Amazingly all the cows seem ok although, we imagine it was real pain to round them all up again. Why these tipped cows seem to be able to get back up we don't know... Maybe because they were more rolled than tipped so the momentum pushed them back to their feet?

text: Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU) yesterday suspended 13 leaders and activists of the now defunct BAU unit of Bangladesh Chhatra League for one semester for their involvement in a gunfight on January 19 that left a boy killed. The expelled leaders included Shamsuddin Al Azad and Rafiquzzaman Emon, president and general secretary of the BCL unit, said BAU Proctor Prof Shahidur Rahman Khan. The other expelled students are Parvez Kabir, Shaheen Mahmud, SM Raihan, Asaduzzaman Khokon, Anwar Parvez Ripon, Yeahiya Emran, Nayan Hawlader, Rubel Miah, Shakil Majumder, Rokonuzzaman, and Shahabuddin Shihab. Ten-year-old madrasa student Rabbi from nearby Boira village was killed during the gunfight between two BCL factions on the campus and the university was closed indefinitely. Hours after the violence, the central committee of BCL dissolved its BAU unit. On January 20, the university authorities served show cause notices on 40 BCL men and asked them to explain in seven days their role in the violence. The authorities formed two probe committees to investigate the violence on the campus and subsequent attacks on student dormitories by angry mobs from nearby villages over the death. The suspension (from January-June, 2013) of the students is a preliminary action, mentioned the proctor adding, final action will be taken upon receiving reports of the probe committees.

I have a Dell Latitude LS400 laptop running RH9, attached via 802.11
wireless to a netgear access point and then to a netgear DSL modem using
the PPPoA protocol. Mostly, it works fine. However, intermittently I get
the following errors:
- mozilla gets stuck 'resolving host' (but nslookup works fine)
- cvs access to a networked 'pserver' repository fails -- no messages,
but nothing happens; it just stops and needs ctrl-c or sometimes
ctrl-z (but there's not complete failure; some single-directory
accesses with '-l' work)
- sending mail via my ISP's smtp server fails (at least under XEmacs
vm mailer)
- scp fails when attempting to copy to certain network destinations
(but it fails at the end: it gets to '100%' according to the
indicator, hangs there, and if I check there's a zero-size file on
the remote machine).
I think (but am not sure) that these things may not happen when
connected directly to ethernet at work, so it may have to do with my
adsl hookup.
It's certainly possible that all of these things are unrelated
(especially the first, which is a reported but rare mozilla bug), but it
seems fishy to me. Any ideas?

Miley Cyrus disqualified for movie Grammy, Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Karen O moves in
A week after Grammy nominations were announced, Miley Cyrus and her songwriting team have been disqualified in their nod for Best Song Written for Motion Picture,Television or Other Visual Media -- with Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Karen O taking it's place.
Cyrus' ballad "The Climb" was featured in "Hannah Montan: The Movie," but for reasons unknown at this time, has been taken out of the running. Karen O and the Kids' "All Is Love," written by the frontlady for the Spike Jonze flick "Where the Wild Things Are," has replaced it, according to Jonze's WTWTA site We Love You So.
Disney has yet to reply with comment on the switcheroo -- from performers that are near-antonyms -- but a press release is expected soon. Grammy.com has already updated its website and nomination list. "All Is Love" is up against the tracks below, including performances from Bruce Springsteen and Beyonce.
One stipulation in this Grammy category is that the song had to be penned specifically for the movie or show (or other visual medium), which is one possibility as to why the track could have been yanked in retrospect.
This is not the first time that the Yeah Yeah Yeahs or Karen O to receive a Grammy nomination, but it would be her first win should she take the prize.

Alkaline vs Acid
"All foods, after digestion and absorption leave either an acid or alkaline ash in the body depending on their mineral composition. The normal body chemistry is approximately 20 per cent acid and 80 per cent alkaline. This is the acid-alkaline balance. In normal health, the reaction of the blood is alkaline and that is essential for our physical and mental well-being. The preponderence of alkalins in the blood is due to the fact that the products of the vital combustions taking place in the body are mostly acid in character. Carbohydrates and fats form about nine-tenths of the normal fuel of the body. In normal health, this great mass of material is converted into carbon dioxide gas and water. Half of the remaining one-tenth fuel is also con- verted into the same gas and water. This huge amount of acid is transported by the blood to the various points of discharge, mainly the lungs. By virtue of alkalinity, the blood is able to transport the acid from the tissues to the discharge points.
Whenever the alkalinity of the blood is reduced, even slightly, its ability to transport the carbon dioxide gets reduced. This results in the accumulation of acid in the tissues. This condition is known as acidosis or hypo-alkalinity of the blood. Its symptoms are hunger, indigestion, burning sensation and pain in the pharynx, nausea, vomiting, headache, various nervous disorders and drowsiness. Acidosis is the breeding ground for most diseases. Rheumatism, premature old age, arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, skin disorders and various degenerative diseases are traceable to this condition."
You can read more at www.natural-advice.com/alkalizingdiet.htm. I disagree with a couple of points there: In particular I am not a fan of oranges or orange juice! I think they cause congestion. I stick with tangerines. Overall I found this page to have comprehensive and helpful info, if a little lacking in professional presentation.
Green veggies are the best for alkalizing the blood - kale, cucumbers, celery, parsley….here is a chart of all foods and drinks which tells you if they are acid-forming foods or alkaline forming foods: Alkaline-Foods-Chart

Oil Prices: Speak Softly and Carry an Ugly Stick
The future of oil and natural gas markets this year is coming to resemble a reverse beauty contest, a hard-fought battle to decide which is uglier—the deteriorating demand picture or the grim supply side of things.
After an apparent dead-cat bounce Thursday, crude oil futures headed back south Friday and closed down below $39 in New York. That's not just because of oversupply in the U.S., either—Brent crude traded in London also fell to $41.73. Even Omani crude traded in Dubai slipped, and OPEC oil had been bolstered recently by signs of physical tightness in the export market.
It's not just oil—natural gas futures plummeted to a six-year low below $4 per million BTUs, before closing just over $4. Last summer, natural gas cost three times as much.
As for which is uglier, demand for oil and gas is anything but pretty. Cratering industrial activity is the main culprit behind lower demand for natural gas—shuttered petrochemical plants and car factories don't use a lot of gas. Oil demand isn't rebounding either, even though nationwide gasoline prices are still half of what they were during the summer peak.
With already tottering demand getting even weaker, oil bulls are having second thoughts. Barclays Bank, which for months has warned oil prices will rebound because of supply shortages, slashed its 2009 forecast for Brent crude to $61 from $70.
But the supply-side picture is a double bagger, too. OPEC appears to be seriously reducing output and could cut even further next month. But at least that's voluntary. Mexico has watched oil production at its big Cantarell offshore field fall 38% in twelve months, Bloomberg reports. Mexico is one of the main oil suppliers to the U.S., but doesn't have any quick or easy fixes for rapidly-declining output at oil fields.
Mexico, like Canda, is key to maintaining—if not increasing—non-OPEC oil production this year. Yet the combination of aging fields in Mexico and lousy economics in Canada is raising questions about their ability to maintain current output.
OPEC already shaved its projections this month for non-OPEC supply this year, but still optimistically expects output to grow by about 500,000 barrels. If that doesn't materialize, OPEC's own cuts are going to hit the market even harder.

The early use of the word was to mean 'a task or duty causing weariness'; this is seen in the military use of the plural fatigues, duties sometimes allocated as a punishment. It comes via French from Latin fatigare 'tire out'. The opposite is found in indefatigable (early 17th century).

Could Revelations in Polanski Documentary Lead to Appeal?
Last month, we watched a riveting HBO documentary on the media circus that was the statutory rape trial of Roman Polanski, who's known best for his films "Rosemary's Baby" and "Chinatown" (though "The Tenant," an earlier film he made and starred in, is also stellar.) The documentary focuses on Polanski's trial, and includes interviews with Polanski's lawyer, Doug Dalton, the prosecutor in the case, and then-L.A. district attorney David Wells — all of whom are very frank about the strange behavior of Laurence J. Rittenband, the judge who presided over Polanski's case. In the film, Wells describes scenarios in which he advised Rittenband on how to handle certain aspects of the case.
While watching the movie, entitled "Roman Polanksi: Wanted and Desired," we wondered whether the allegations involving judicial misconduct provided grounds for Polanski to reopen the case. Apparently, Polanski, who fled to France in 1978 to avoid a possible prison sentence, and his lawyer, thought the same thing.
First, a bit of background about Polanski's case: In March of 1977, actor Jack Nicholson left his house on Mulholland Drive in the hands of Polanski (as well as Anjelica Huston and, inexplicably, Marlon Brando's maid). Polanski, 44, owed the French edition of Vogue magazine a photo story and had decided to take nude photos of 13-year old Samantha Geimer. Polanski gave Geimer alcohol and pharmaceutical drugs, and then they had sex.
In the wake of the documentary, Polanski's lawyer, Dalton, has told the NYT that Wells's self-described contacts with the judge appeared to violate California law and legal ethics. "There could be a motion to dismiss based on prosecutorial misconduct," Dalton said. "We want to develop information about the extent of the ex parte contacts, what other communications Wells had, whether anybody else was aware of them, that sort of thing."
Dalton acknowledged that fugitives have little standing to press conventional appeals. But, he said, California law would permit either a judge or the prosecutor's office to seek remedies on behalf of Polanski, including dismissal of the case, if either believed the judicial process had been corrupted.
Wells denied that his contact with the judge had been improper, saying it occurred in open court during routine discussions of cases. "I didn't tell him to do it or that he should do it," Wells said of the judge's decision to put Polanski in prison for 42 days for psychiatric review. "I just told him what his options were."
In an e-mail to the Times, Polanski, 74, said he wouldn't make any decisions until his lawyer had finished reviewing Wells's actions. "I'm not ruling anything out," he said. "I believe that closure of that entire matter is long overdue."

A Houston state senator proposes to close the privately run Dawson State Jail next to the Trinity River
Contained within the virtual pages of the Texas Tribune is this familiar-sounding proposal from state Sen. John Whitmire, a Houston Democrat: Close the Jesse R. Dawson State Jail on the Trinity River. It's actually one of two privately operated jails Whitmore would like to see shuttered; the other is the Mineral Wells Pre-Parole Transfer Facility. Both are operated by Corrections Corporation of America.
Whitmire, chairman of the Senate Criminal Justice Committee, tells The Dallas Morning News this morning that both facilities are unnecessary, in large part because Texas has seen a 4,000-prisoner drop in its prison census — from around 156,000 last year to about 152,000 in 2012.
"And we'll continue to have less demand for capacity," Whitmore says. "And that's the good news: It saves money."
It so happens that closing the Dawson State Jail has been on the city of Dallas' to-do list for years.
Way back in '08, a California developer came to the city with the idea of building a 10-acre mixed-use development near the Commerce Street bridge that would include, among other amenities, a bowling alley, a movie theater and a Ferris wheel on the Trinity River. Problem was, the Dawson was in the way. Which is why, in 2009, state Sen. Royce West introduced legislation that would have allowed the city to take the site if it could locate on the private prison operator's behalf a comparable parcel of property within 20 miles. But, of course, that idea went nowhere. And the Dawson State Jail stayed put, right across W. Commerce Street from the Lew Sterrett Justice Center.
In December 2008, Dallas City Manager Mary Suhm told The News that closing Dawson was a high priority for the city. "The jail is sitting right in the middle of the biggest development project in our city," she said, "so we've got to do something." Two years later, though, she was backpedaling. "We're not ready to develop the property," she said in November 2010. "Not given the state of the world."
Today, she says, "I'm glad everybody understands" the city wants the land. "That's cool. That's moving faster than I thought. That's good news."
Given the fact the city's moving ahead with the second Calatrava bridge that will ultimately bookend the Dawson State Jail, Suhm says it'd be nice to finally get rid of the jail once and for all.
"It's be nice if it came sooner, but it's not absolutely a must," she says. "But the two bridges make it a better development place."
Whitmire concurs: He says part of his proposal stems from discussions with West and "other Dallas officials who have said it would be good to close it as part of the master plan for the Trinity River development, which I'm not totally familiar with." Later during the same interview Whitmire says "the input from the Dallas delegation — Senator West and local officials — will be important" when it comes time to consider shuttering Dawson.
And Whitmire's had some success in shuttering prisons: Last year saw the closing of the Central Unit in Sugar Land. But he acknowledges that CCA won't let these go without a fight. When asked about his chances for success this time around, Whitmire laughs, pauses and says, after a long while, "Better than 50-50."
Says the senator, "We don't need it. We don't need it. Honestly, the direction and the comments from the city manager, the city council and Senator West will weigh heavily. But at the end of the day, if you don't need it and can save money, close it."

I love fabric and ribbon roses. It is my new obsession and they make beautiful little headbands for my daughter. There are several ways to make these roses, and all are fabulous, and I thought I would share a little tutorial on how I have been making my ribbon headbands. So much fun!
To start making these roses, you need:
Glue gun
You start with your favorite ribbon. I used a shiny satin ribbon for this version.
Cut ribbon and fold in half
Start rolling the folded ribbon to make the core of the rose.
Once you get the rolled center how you like it, secure it with some glue.
Continue to roll around the center of the rose, twisting the ribbon around as you do it. Secure with glue as you roll.
Once you have the rose the size you like, cut ribbon and secure behind rose with glue. Add embellishments, felt for back and there you have it. Now you have the perfect rose to make headbands, clips, or anything your heart desires!
Here are some headbands I made using these roses. You can purchase these headbands, and clips or place a custom order on my DesertChild Boutique Etsy page, click here to start shopping.

MAPI comments on industrial production report
"In a disturbing report, the Federal Reserve announced that U.S. industrial production (manufacturing, mining, and utilities) contracted by 0.6 percent after strong gains in February and March," said Cliff Waldman, senior economist for the Manufacturers Alliance for Productivity and Innovation (MAPI). "The manufacturing picture, which constitutes the lion's share of industrial output, is bleaker. U.S. factory production declined by 0.4 percent in April and has now contracted in three of the past four months. The output backslide in April was broad-based, with widespread weakness in both durable and nondurable manufacturing. Suppliers of numerous manufacturing supply chains such as machinery, nonmetallic mineral products, and fabricated metal products all suffered contractions in production, indicating fundamental factory sector weakness. Even wood products output, which had been enjoying substantial growth as a result of the modest U.S. housing rebound, has now seen significant contractions for two consecutive months.
"The persistence of subpar performance in the U.S. economy and weakness in key areas of the global economy are weighing on U.S. factories," Waldman added. "U.S. capital spending has been volatile, a function of cloudy expectations for U.S. and global growth as well as policy uncertainty. The recession in the 17-country Eurozone has been deeper, wider, and longer lasting than almost anyone expected. And while growth in large emerging markets that are important to manufacturing profitability has bottomed, the rebounds in China, India, and Brazil are looking to be modest at best.
"Most likely, slow growth in the U.S. and world economies will continue," Waldman said. "Central banks are flooding the globe with liquidity, and legitimate concerns about fiscal prudence are once again being overshadowed by concerns about growth. All told, U.S. manufacturing will likely continue with slow output gains as the year progresses. But the risks of something worse cannot be ruled out."

I used to use an app which did basically the same thing this one does, until I discovered that the preview-in-Dock functionality is built right into Apple's own Icon Composer! Now, there are still advantages to this sort of app, not trying to be a jerk to the dev here, but I had never heard talk of the functionality in Icon Composer before, and I wonder if other people have missed out on it as wellâ¦

Jesus Did It!
By: Bill Keller, Evangelistic
I am convinced that outside of John 3:16, the most important verse in the Bible is Romans 12:2. You see, the foundation of who we are and the decisions we make that leads to our actions, come from our mind. This act of renewing your mind becomes the most important task a new believer has, and not doing so is the number one reason people backslide.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. - Romans 12:2
Think about it this way. The things you see and hear go into your memory.
The more you do something, see something, hear something, the more of your memory is taken up by those things. For example, those who are into pornography have a tremendous problem kicking that problem.
Why? Their memory banks are full of the images and sounds. Just looking at an attractive person can trigger those memory banks into full action. You see, before we get saved, most spent many, many years filling their memory banks full of ungodly content. When a person accepts Christ, those memory banks are still full of that content.
The renewing of a person's mind needs to become one of the very first priorities in their new life with Christ. All of the ungodly content did not get there overnight and it does not leave overnight. It is a process. The process involves replacing the existing ungodly content with new Godly content.
That is why reading the word is so important. God's Word acts as a spiritual detergent as it replaces the garbage in your mind with God-inspired content.
That is why it is so critical what you watch, what you listen to. What is in your mind ultimately manifests itself in your day-to-day decisions and actions.
The reason most new believers fall away is that they never successfully clean out the old thoughts and information in their mind with clean God-inspired information. It is similar to programming a computer. The computer basically does exactly what the program says. Your mind reacts based on the program that is in your mind. If that program is full of ungodly information, you have a big chance of being involved in ungodly activities. If it is God-inspired content, then you are more likely to be involved in God-honoring activities.
This basic concept of renewing your mind is the most important process any believer can go through. Many have been walking with Christ for many years, yet have never really totally cleaned out their mind. They have learned how to compartmentalize their mind and keep the ungodly content in a back closet, hidden away in the back. But trust me, not dealing with that closet will ultimately result in major problems in your life at some point.
This is a message that needs to be printed out and passed around to your friends, associates, schoolmates, bible-study, Sunday school, and hung on bulletin boards in churches.
Not enough sermons are preached on this most basic issue that is the cause of so many of God's people falling away. My prayer is that you will sit down after reading this, and ask yourself what is in your mind that is not God-honoring. Then make an effort to spend each day cleansing your mind.
Don't forget, the cleansing process is only part of the problem. You then have to KEEP IT CLEANSED by not putting ungodly content back in. This battle is won or lost in your mind. Realize that your mind is the battle zone and treat it accordingly. PROTECT IT!!!
This is critical to our ability to serve God and is a war that must be won.
God will help you. God will strengthen you in this renewal process.
Recognize it's importance and begin this process today of renewing your mind so that you can be the best servant for the Kingdom possible, and know the joy, peace, and blessings this life has to offer. It won't happen overnight, it is a process...day by day. Your number one weapon is His Word. Start the process today. It will change your life.

I am seeing a lot of marketing of Dual Core systems. As you have
guessed, I am not a hardware geek. What is the big advantage of dual
core systems? I know it is like having 2 processors. Will each core
perform at the high GigaHertz speeds that the marketers used in the past?
I plan to buy a new PC sometime early next year. Does the current
software technology take advantage of the dual core hardware? Is there
significant performance speed on the system?
Thank you in advance for any information.

All Things Frugal in Treating Adult ADHD
"Any tips for those on a budget? I don't have health insurance and stimulant medications for adult attention deficit disorder are expensive. I can't eat out just because I'm 'too frazzled to cook'—and I definitely can't afford to hire a coach!"
Paying for services to help you with your adult attention deficit disorder can be expensive, indeed. In terms of treatment, there are many programs that can connect you with free or low-cost meds.
The discount often varies by program, type of medication, and the state where you live. Start your search at the SelectCare Benefits Network (scbn.org) or the Partnership for Prescription Assistance (pparx.org).
Instead of hiring a coach or a professional organizer, seek help from family and friends. Try bartering services. Maybe you're a good baker, and you can make an organized friend a batch of brownies while she sorts through and files a pile of your papers.
Going out to eat when you are too frazzled to cook isn't the only option, either. The next night you can't face the stove, have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a side of sliced tomatoes and cucumbers and a glass of low-fat milk for an easy and nutritious meal.

Get some free, real-life advice (and support, which is invaluable) by connecting with other ADDers. You can search for a CHADD chapter near you, for an in-person support group, or join an online message board, like the one hosted by ADDitude at additudemag.com/adhdforums.
Sandy Maynard lives in Washington, DC where she operates Catalytic Coaching. She was instrumental in the development of The National Attention Deficit Disorder Association's Coaching Guidelines and a founding board member for the Institute for the Advancement of AD/HD Coaching (IAAC).

Manchester United players and staff and journalists prepare to board the doomed BEA Elizabethan plane on the snowy …
Seven of Manchester United's famous Busby Babes team were killed in a plane crash in Munich while returning from a European Cup tie in Belgrade on this day in 1958.
Three club officials and 13 others also died instantly when their aircraft overshot the icy runway and smashed into a house on its third take-off attempt after refuelling.
The footballers killed on impact were, Eddie Colman, 21, Billy Whelan, 22, David Pegg, 22, and Geoff Bent, 25, Tommy Taylor, 26, Roger Byrne, 28.
Duncan Edwards, 21, died two weeks later, while Jackie Blanchflower, 24, and Johnny Berry, 31, were injured to such an extent that they never played again.
Manager Matt Busby, after whom his young team were nicknamed, was so hurt that he twice received the last rites - but he recovered after nine weeks in hospital.
Also among the injured was midfield ace Bobby Charlton, 21, who was pulled from the wreckage by goalkeeper Harry Gregg, 25, before the plane burst into flames.
A British Pathé newsreel shows the smouldering Airspeed Ambassador, owned by British European Airways, as the snow continued to fall at Munich's Riem Airport.
It also showed clips of the now devastated, three-times league-winning team, who were so good that Busby only made two signings in four seasons.
Eight journalists were also killed in the crash after travelling with the team to watch their victory over Yugoslavian champions Red Star Belgrade.
Investigators found that the disaster was caused by too much slush on the runway that made taking off with a heavy fuel load impossible.
Initially, it was thought that pilot James Thain had failed to de-ice the aircraft, but these fears were later dismissed after eye-witness accounts revealed he had.
Charlton, who may have only survived because he sat in a rear-facing seat rather than a forward-facing one, only opened up about the tragedy years afterwards.
Recalling the night he cheated death in a 2006 TV interview with Michael Parkinson, he said: "I thought, 'Why me? Why am I here with nothing happened to me other than a little gash on the head' and all these other friends had been killed?
"It was such a momentous event, for so many young people to die just on the verge of the great success that was ahead of them, and I couldn't understand why."
Even with a severely depleted team, Busby's assistant Jimmy Murphy got United as far as the European Cup semi-finals when they lost to AC Milan.
Charlton was determined to help United become the first English club to win the competition when Busby resumed management the following season.
But they would have to wait until 1968 – a year after Scottish champions Celtic became the first British winners – to make his dream come true.
Busby, who was knighted after United's 4-1 victory against Benfica, had fostered new homegrown talent, including George Best and bought stars like Denis Law.
Charlton, who was also made a Sir in 1994, and Bill Foulkes were the only two survivors of the Munich air disaster who lined up in that team at Wembley.
Sir Matt, a Scotsman who was born just 12 miles from United's second European Cup-wining manager Sir Alex Ferguson, retired at the end of the following season.
The former right half, who also played for Manchester City and Liverpool, had managed United for 24 years and was seen as one of the game's greatest pioneers.
Yet, despite his success, Sir Matt, who died aged 84 in 1994, always regretted failing to win the league, FA Cup and European Cup in a single season.
That feat was later achieved by Sir Alex, who emulated the great maestro with a young homegrown side nicknamed Fergie's Fledglings that won the Triple in 1999.
But, like Sir Alex's 2013 exit, Sir Matt's departure was also followed by sour times for the club – with Manchester United even being relegated in 1974.
The Munich air disaster continues to be mourned by the club's fans each year and a there is a memorial outside Old Trafford to the players who died.

Through this autumn festival The Tree Council aims to inspire everyone, particularly school children and families, to gather seeds, fruits and nuts and grow the trees of the future. The festival starts on the 23rd September (the autumn equinox, considered to be the first day of autumn) and continues until the 23rd October, giving everyone plenty of days on which to hold events.
Growing trees from local seed can have great benefits in restocking areas with trees of local provenance. The concept of local provenance suggests that trees that are adapted to the local circumstances and so are likely to flourish and help restore, conserve and beautify local urban and rural spaces. Collecting seed and growing trees is also a great way to get children involved and start growing the next generation of tree enthusiasts.
Interested in getting involved? You can find all our events on our Near You map.
If you're interested in organising your own event in 2016, read further to get some tips on how to grow trees from the seeds you have collected. To find out about the kind of activities which took place in your area last year, for inspiration, you can look at past events. See our publications Trees and How to Grow Them and The Good Seed Guide. Don't forget to list your event on our website, so that other people can come and join you!
If you want to get more people in your community involved, or publicise seed gathering in a school or youth group, you can use the 2015 free downloadable poster and print as many copies as you need. The poster for Seed Gathering Season 2016 will be available in due course.
This year, as well as collecting seed to grow the trees of the future, we are encouraging everyone to make the most of the autumn harvest by gathering berries, nuts and fruit to eat and make into delicious autumn treats.
Why not try one of the recipes on our Hedgerow Harvest website.
- Fruit is the property of the landowner.
- Don't collect anything from trees beside busy roads or on old industrial sites.
- Don't allow unsupervised children to pick - or eat - from trees and make sure you know exactly what you are picking: some of the most attractive berries are poisonous and easily mistaken for edible ones.
- Wherever you gather your wild food, wash it well.
- Don't pick more than you need and do not damage the trees.

Intriguing...engaging...an illicit delight."
—Stephanie Laurens
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Liz Carlyle ushers readers once again inside the mysterious St James Club, where passion and secrets simmer behind the elegant façade of Victorian London. In her deliciously intriguing The Bride Wore Scarlet, Carlyle does historical romance absolutely right—as a determined young beauty's desire to gain entrance into the secret all-male society places her under the powerfully sensuous spell of the group's ruthless and enigmatic leader.

Passion and secrets simmer behind the elegant façade of Victorian London in another deliciously intriguing novel featuring the mysterious men of the St. James Society.
Anaïs de Rohan has faced danger in her past, but never anything so great as posing as the new bride to one of the St. James Society's most magnetic—and ruthless—leaders. But Lord Bessett's bold challenge to prove herself worthy of joining his secret all-male society is impossible to resist. So she daringly agrees to travel with the enigmatic nobleman on a dangerous mission to save one of their own—a little girl with a frightening gift.
Soon intrigue swirls about them, drawing them ever closer. And Anaïs quickly realizes that the intimacy of sharing Lord Bessett's bedroom is proving a temptation impossible to resist. As for Bessett himself—well, he might be a soldier sworn to the Society, but he certainly isn't anyone's saint. . . .

Top-seeded The Oaks of the Palo Alto Babe Ruth League came in holding the hammer Monday night against No. 2 seed Ada's Cafe, which needed to win twice to wrestle the trophy away.
The challengers almost pulled it off, nearly winning Game 1 via mercy rule in a 15-6 rout. But at the end of the night, after more than five hours and 14 innings, it was The Oaks who were crowned champions with an 8-3 victory in the winner-take-all contest.
"Going out with a championship is the way to go out," said The Oaks shortstop Ethan Stern, an emergency starter for Game 2 as six players were on vacation, including the starting outfield.
Runs were hardly scarce, except in one scenario. The league leader in runs scored, Ada's Cafe had one kryptonite.
"It was kind of this thing, that if you want to beat us just load the bases and we'll figure out a way of not getting the big hit to finish it off," Ada's Cafe manager Ron Fried said.
Tied 3-all in the top of the fourth of Game 2, Ada's Cafe loaded the bases with a two-out walk and had No. 3 hitter Ryan Chang at the plate. The sophomore at Palo Alto High scorched a liner that found the glove of The Oaks third baseman Kyle Pruhsmeier for the third out.
"Without the defense, nothing would have happened," Stern said. "I'm not like a strikeout sort of pitcher anyway, so it was good defense."
The Oaks rallied to take the lead in the bottom of the frame, with Ben Cleasby nearly decapitating the pitcher with a comebacker to go up 4-3. Ada's Cafe managed to get Stern out on a fielder's choice, but Pruhsmeier delivered a two-out RBI single -- his third hit of the game -- after almost crushing a three-run homer that hooked 10 feet foul.
"Everything was working, so I felt a connection," said Pruhsmeier, who will be a freshman at Sequoia-Redwood City.
"Those guys are just going to beat you up," Fried said of the top of the lineup for the The Oaks of Cleasby, Stern and Pruhsmeier, who combined to go 6 for 10 with two walks in Game 2. "And one of the things I told our guys was, 'Try to minimize the damage. Try and focus on the other half of the lineup.' "
That strategy worked in the opener. Stern scored on a wild pitch in the bottom of the first, but Ada's Cafe answered with five runs in the bottom of the second. The barrage wouldn't stop there as The Oaks were victimized to the tune of 22 hits, with Ryan Chang (Paly) and Bradley Smith each collecting four apiece.
"One thing we stressed on was put pressure on them early in the game and then see what happens," said Fried, who sent Chang to the mound for Game 1 and the veteran responded by scattering nine hits in a complete-game effort. "And that's what we did in the first game, we got some runs and we kind of built on that. ... And I thought we were going to carry that same kind of momentum over to the second game, and it's just one of those things of baseball. We hit the ball hard, hard, hard and we were hitting it right at somebody. And they seemed to find every hole that you can imagine when they were hitting."
The Oaks added three insurance runs in the bottom of the fifth, but Ada's Cafe refused to waive the flag. Instead, the underdogs loaded the bases with one out in the top of the sixth. Once again, kryptonite.
Stern was pulled after 5 1/3 innings in which he allowed six hits and walked five. In came Cleasby, a southpaw who quickly induced the last two outs to strand the base runners.
"In that first game, you could tell the energy for us wasn't there and just things weren't going for us," Cleasby said. "We just regrouped, got our energy level, came out and things just started working."
Pruhsmeier added: "Played good, clean baseball."
As if that wasn't enough, Cleasby struck out the side in the top of the seventh, securing the championship with an outside fastball on an 0-2 count as the final batter whiffed.
"I'm actually pumped for this," Cleasby said.

Great Bed

This has been a great bed frame
I bought this bed frame for my daughter and it is perfect...Read More
Good Buy
I purchased this bed for my daughter who just moved into her first apartment. Delivery was fairly quick (within a week to 10 days of purchase) and convenient. She was able to assemble the bed herself. It's very sturdy and built to last. She loves it. Overall a good buy.Read More
Instructions were often unclear. The materials are pretty flimsy. I've had it less than two months and already things are broken. I only sleep on it 4 or 5 nights of the week too. If you have this bed frame, don't plan on doing anything except peacefully laying on it.Read More
Functional but not great quality
My first observation was that in one particular review, the author said that this "full" size will more than accommodate a queen mattress and is too big for a full mattress. I tried putting a queen mattress on this and it's more than 7" wider than the frame. I'm not sure how this happened with them but the dimensions listed are spot on. I didn't realize that the slats weren't flush with the top and assumed my queen would just lay right on top. The slats are recessed so the mattress sits below the outer rails and you will have some gaps even with a full mattress. Second observation was that while this frame is functional, it's not great quality and overpriced in my opinion. The paint was worn/chipped where the screws from one rail contacted the other (not a huge deal because it was on the inside). Third observation was that I specifically try to avoid buying anything from China and this piece shows the "country of origin" as Indonesia...slightly deceiving in my opinion since the box said "made in china" all over it! Assembly was simple and only required the allen wrench and phillips head screw driver.Read More

Nice bed but not a full.
If you are looking for a full size bed frame this is NOT the frame for you. This platform bed, although described as a full is actually a full/queen which means it fits a queen perfectly and a full size mattress sloppily and this we did not discover until it was fully assembled. I'm so disappointed because I specifically purchased a full size mattress and bunky board prior to receiving the bed frame and now there is a two inch gap between the mattress and frame on all four sides. And because the platform is only 13 inches off the ground, it is impossible to find a bed skirt to fit it. They are all too long. So it makes hiding the gap a big problem. Sigh. This bed had so much promice but it did not deliver.Read More
Great bed, excellent price!!
This bed was abosolutely fantastic! I put it together last night with the help of my husband... We started putting it together upside down (Oops :)) but the disassembly was easy and putting it together correctly was a snap! All together with the initial disassembly and reassembly it took us about an hour total. The directions were easy to read and the whole bed came in one box. This bed is made of hardwood and the color was terrific. The bed is super sturdy and even though it is low to the ground, I'm still able to utilize a bit of the underbed space so I'm extremely pleased by that as well. I'm extremely pleased with this purchase and I would do it again, hands down, no questions asked. I had to speak with a customer representative about an issue I had with checking out and she immediately resolved the issue for me. I am so pleased with this company! This was my first time buying from them so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was totally amazed by how fast the order shipped too!! Ordered it on a Thursday and my order was at my door on a Saturday! I was so pleased. I would totally reccomend this bed and this company to anyone who asked :)Read More
good quality
I bought this bed for my teenage son (16 yo). I needed to get him a bed that would hold his size (200+lbs and still growing). Was very happy with the quality and the color (walnut). Putting this bed together was no problem (make sure your drill is charged-lots of screws). We only needed to get a top mattress since this is a platform bed, so that saves a little money for you. The height of the bed was good too, my son can still put his containers under his bed. The only thing with the frame is there is a small space between the mattress, but you can't see it when the bedding is in place. Still felt this bed desires 5 stars. The best thing is that my son loves his new bed! Hope this info helps with your decision.Read More
platform bed
A good sturdy bed although it may be a little pricy from my point of view. But, I'm an old dude and maybe that's why. It goes really well with my new memory foam mattress as I don't have to use box springs and it keeps my mattress nice and flat, like I like it, not all saggy like the box springs. Now I can enjoy a good night's sleep without waking up in the middle of the night wrenching in back pain or in the morning. I feel much better with this combination and should have done it long ago , had I known. Overstock is my favorite on line store and I will continue to purchase their quality products.Read More
Not what I expected.
I was disappointed to see some edges minus finish, but those I can touch up. What I particularly dislike seeing is the center support leg towards the foot of the bed. It's clearly visible when entering the room and is unstained, so it doesn't match the finish. It makes the product look cheap. I bought a full-sized frame and am disappointed at the amount of space between the full-sized mattress and the frame; the slats are clearly visible and the mattress looks like it's swimming in the frame. I also don't like the amount of space between the head of the frame and the wall. Without a headboard the pillows easily fall off the bed. I had hoped for more.Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello Stanley S., this will fit a standard full size mattress. Thanks for shopping with us!
I ordered the Scandinavia Full-size bed frame and a Safavia headboard. I am now looking for a mattress and was looking at one that says it fits the 54" x 76" dimensions mentioned, however 2 of the reviews say that their full mattress does not fill out the space and the slats are in view. With the headboard on will that still be a problem?
Hello Almira W., we do not anticipate any problems with the Scandinavia Full-size Solid Wood Tapered Leg Platform Bed. Have a great day.
Can I use a different headboard?
Hello Honeyb, this item can be used with a different headboard as well. I personally like ITEM#: 16258620 for another option. Thank you for shopping with us.
Does it come with the headboard? If not, how much is it?
Hello Lucia H., yes, please see the Scandinavia Solid Wood Bookcase Headboard, item 15955491. Have a great day.
Will this bed work with a full-size Sleep Number box spring & mattress?
Hello petluvver, this bed will only accommodate a mattress. Thanks for shopping with us!
A lot of the comments say that this bed is too large for a full sized mattress, but in one of the questions below you say that it will fit. I want to buy this bed but how can I be certain it won't be too large for a full mattress?
Hello goldfish44, this frame can be used with both conventional and futon standard full size mattresses/memory foam mattresses, tandard (54x75-inch). Thank you for shopping with us.
I don't understand why a full mattress doesn't fit this bed; the inside dimensions are 55" W x 76" L. The memory foam mattress I just bought is 54" W x 75" L, seems to me like the fit should be just right. What am I missing here?
Hello randlk, this will fit a standard full size mattress. Thanks for shopping with us!
Where are the assembly instructions for this bed?
Hello consumer46, this will require full assembly and will include hardware as well as step by step instructions. Thanks for shopping with us!
Why did you choose this product?

Have the foam mattress and do not want to have to purchase a box spring

simple design, good reviews
Solid wood, simple, elegant and reviews w great price
It's solid wood!
Style, Simplicity and Price. I trust Overstock service and pricing.
Daughter liked the look of this instead of just the metal frame
Looks, price, reviews
I chose this bed frame because it is reasonably priced, is elevated, simplistic in design, and doesn't require box springs.
broke bed with head board, this looked as if it would fit the headboard. Awesome price!
Based on customer reviews
I have had the bed for less than a month and one of the legs that holds up the center has fallen out and won't stay in and another one is very wobbly. I did not get the damage plan but I didn't think in one month a 120 pound girl could causes the bed to start to break. I don't want to have to pay more money this early but I want this fixed ASAP so I can use the bed again.
Hello Sussmn01, it looks like our Customer Service is taking care of this issue for you. Please note that any issue like this should be handled directly through the Customer Service Department so that it can be taken care of as soon as possible. Thank you for shopping with us.
This is happening to me as well. It's awful.
No instructions, like several of the other commenters. Please help.
Hello talktalk, you will be contacted by Customer Care. Have a great day.
Has anyone actually tried to put a queen size bed on this frame? I just got a new mattress and I can't decide if my queen would actually fit on this one. Thanks!
Hello RachKris, we do offer this bed in a queen-size under item number 12924301. Thank you for shopping with us!
I think a queen will fit. I put a full and there was plenty of room left over.
I have to tell you I am very disappointed with this product, I purchased in September and it has fallen apart, and broken in several sections. But the mattress did fit fine.
Do you need a box spring or can you use the mattress by itself?
Hello butterfli412, a box spring is not required with this bed. You can use a mattress by itself. Please let us know if you have additional questions. Thanks for shopping with us.
by it's self should be fine.
I am seeing a lot of negative reviews on this frame being too big for a full sized mattress.. Is that so?
Hello mamajo67, this does tend to be larger for a full sized mattress. Thanks for shopping with us!
It's alittle big for a full, but mostly it's not strongly made.I returned it.
Wondering if assembly is available with delivery?
Thank you for your question, mamajo67. Unfortunately, assembly is not available for the Scandinavia Full-size Solid Wood Tapered Leg Platform Bed. We are sorry, have a great day.
I don't think so.
Can any head and foot board be used with this frame?
Hello toldenburg32, not all head and footboards are compatible with this frame. Please check out Item #: 15955491 for a recommendation. I hope this helps and thank you for shopping with us.
Hello, the instructions for assembly were not included in my package. Where can I find them online? thanks.
Hello kathlyn90, thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
call overstock
What is the measurement from floor to the platform upon which the mattress will sit? so that I can add the mattress height to get the final height from top of mattress to floor)?
Hello Sailoraunt, the clearance under the bed measures approximately 8 inches high. I hope this information is helpful. Thank you for shopping with us!
I'd say about 10 inches. The lip of the frame is about 3 inches in height, but from floor to where the mattress will sit I'd say 10 inches.
I purchased this bed in June, order (#136094787). I like the look of it but unfortunately it fell apart quite quickly. The hole in the center of the middle beam doesn't screw the middle leg in tightly. Additionally, the metal "foot" of the middle leg appears to be dented or slight defective, so it doesn't stand upright. I am currently propping up the center of the bed with bricks but would like to find out how to have this in order. Can you send a new leg as a replacement, w/an allen wrench if needed? And any tips on fixing the center leg? Thanks.
Hello suzarashops, I'm sorry your having problems with your bed. I have contacted customer care to let them know you need help. You will hear from them soon. Have a great day!
It's simply not well made. You might have to do like I did and either return it or take a loss and throw it away.
I purchased this bed little over a year ago, for my son, and the head and foot rails were lost in a recent move. Is it possible to purchase replacement pieces?
Thank you for contacting us, Andrea. You will be contacted by Customer Care.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
by Mark Twain
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn The Last Chapter Summary
READ THE BOOK: The Last Chapter
- Tom gives Jim $40 to compensate him for every atrocity he suffered, including: being a prisoner; living with spiders, snakes, and other creepy critters; being threatened with amputation; eating minimal amounts of food for a month.
