Eight Trees You Should Never Plant
I was looking through some horticulturally related Facebook posts from outside of Texas when I stumbled on a site that advised against planting certain trees. Trees, they said, that should NEVER, EVER, EVER be planted near a house, much less in a landscape.
I thought about half of the no-no's were dead on, but a few were questionable, especially for Texas. For example, they advised against planting cedar and Leyland Cypress. Texas red cedar works fine here.
But they omitted two trees from their list that, in my opinion, have no business being planted anywhere there might be a hint of freezing weather. No matter the sales pitch, they are not "freeze-tolerant!" In fact, they can't even handle 30 degrees for several hours. That's why they croaked in massive numbers in our region when we had 18- and 22-degree nights earlier this year.
The two are Tru-Green laurel and Piru palms.
Tru-Green laurel is from the ficus family, which is tropical in nature. If you buy one knowing it can't take a freeze, that's punishment for your wallet. They can barely take 30 degrees for several hours, so if they tell you it's freeze-tolerant, that's a big can of hooey!
Piru palms are supposedly a sturdier, thicker queen palms (which did not make it through freezes in January 2010, February 2011 this year) bred specifically to handle cold and heat. It's cross-bred with something ... palm experts think maybe a coconut palm ... which can't handle 30 degrees either. So, real palm experts won't touch them.
Others that Facebook page and I both suggest you avoid:
Arizona ash - I get calls on them almost every weekend, especially about those over 20 years old. Yes, they are a fast-grower, but they also have a limited life span - maximum 25 years on average. The good news is that they're simply not available anymore, unless unscrupulous tree sellers are re-labeling them as green ash.
Silver leaf maple - An even shorter life span than the Arizona ash. It, too, is considered a fast-growing tree, but because of that it becomes highly susceptible to insects and disease, which often kill them after 12-15 years.
Tallow - Chinese tallow, Chinaberry ... whatever you call it, it's not a good shade tree and has an invasive root system only slightly less formidable than cottonwood, maybe. Once you "don't want them," they are nearly impossible to kill without several attempts over multiple years.
Hybrid poplar - These trees are created by cross-pollinating two or more poplar species together. The result can be a fast-growing tree that looks good in your yard - for a couple of years. They are especially susceptible to diseases, and most won't last more than 15 years. Plus, they don't really develop a shade canopy, whish is the most-desired tree attribute, wouldn't you say?
Giant mulberryy - Big surface roots, lots of pollen, messy fruit, and often shade so dense that grass refuses to grow underneath. Unless you're a silkworm, what's to like about it? The mulberry is the silkworm's only source of food, so silkworm farmers should plant away! Otherwise, you'll be happier with a different kind of tree in your yard.
Eucalyptus - Imported from Australia and popular for their speedy growth, some varieties will shoot up 10 feet in a year. But it has a bad rap for suddenly and unexpectedly dropping big, heavy, resin-filled branches. You can see a big batch of them at the intersection of U.S. 59 and Beltway 8 in Southwest Houston. They've grown very tall I admit, but they provide scant shade.
This Saturday 11 a.m.-1 p.m. I will be at Shades of Texas, 2618 Genoa Red Bluff a mile East of Beltway 8. And if you want to know which trees I recommend, all you have to do is visit this place because they almost always carry seven or eight of my top dozen.
This will be my next-to-last appearance at a garden center/nursery this season. Next week, I'll be at The Arbor Gate in Tomball, then we won't be on the road again until June 14 at The Woodlands Ace Hardware.
I mention all that because this may be the last chance for me to "get a pair of eyes" on your weed, bug or disease problem. And don't forget ... this is not just a garden center, not just a nursery, not just a soil yard and not just a great place for garden art. Shades of Texas is the only tree farm of over 100 acres in all of the Greater-Houston area. Plus, we are doing something new at Shades of Texas. Their customers have told them after past GardenLine events there that it would be cool to be able to hear all the questions that were asked in line before them So, Shades will set up a "classroom" setting with a microphone and speaker system, so you can hear everyone else's questions and my answers.
Of course, you know I'll have some good stuff to give away, like samples of Soil Mender products and several "Lemmon" trees for anyone who might think they can stump me with a question. (Get it? A lemon tree if you can stump the Lemmon!) But you do have to stump the whole panel, including the guys from Shades and Soil Mender. I'm just saying. We will also have a "register to win" box for chances to score ...
- A queens wreath vine
- A purple star flower (Grewia caffra) tree (three of them)
- A Hannah Ray bottle brush tree
- An unaltered cantaloupe seed (Brought back during WWII)
- And more
For a chance to win, just make a purchase or drop a registration form in the prize box. And you must be present 12:45-1 p.m. to qualify! Oh, and you might also win a bottle of honey, produced right there at the tree farm by their own hives.

Help all you caddi people
Thinking of getting either a 2004 Deville or 2005 STS. Convince me ok guys, Which One?
Re: Help all you caddi people
well, do you like power and luxury or just luxury? like to be in a big car or a race inspired car?
Re: Help all you caddi people
First answer 93fleetwoodlowlows question to yourself. If you want a DeVille I would recomend the DTS version. Now the 2005 STS is a new car now and you may not have the initial reliablity as you would as the DeVille(maybe, no one knows yet) probably be fine. They are both classy in my opinion. The '05 is just a newer and a bit more modern car than the current DeVille. If I were you I would probably go for the STS. Don't get me wrong I love the DTS, but the STS is built tighter and very very world class.
both great cars but I would prob go with the STS. Of course it also depends on your budget?
Re: Help all you caddi people
I have been fortunate enough to have driven both recently. The Deville, especially in the DHS or DTS levels has a beautiful interior, very spacious. A substantial feel on the road (highly developed front wheel drive) and the first generation Northstar engine. The one fitted in the DTS producing 300 hp. When I first saw one back in late '99 I thought it was a revelation, and it was. But frankly, I hardly notice them any more. It was eclipsed by the newer designs fairly quickly. It would, however, be a good car for anyone. I feel the STS will retain a much better share of its value over time. That is, as long as Cadillac can resist selling them to rental fleets. They sell a fairly large number of Devilles (base units) to these fleets, and it really kills resale.
The STS V6 I drove was a dream. The interior even more handsome than the Deville, executed with some richer materials as well. Get an STS. That, or wait until the '06 model year and look into the re-worked Deville due then.
Re: Help all you caddi people
Get the 05 STS. There have been many, many improvements made over Cadillac's previous generation of cars. Before the CTS came out, all car mags and journalists really just made fun of cadillac and sang the praises of BMW and Mercedes. When the CTS was finally reviewed and taken seriously, Road and Track picked it over Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Mercedes, Lexus, and Volvo.
The new STS is the continuation of what the CTS started. The STS will likely beat out the competition in it's class as well. The STS has some AMAZING new technology. I am going to buy a V6 STS early next year.
Having said all of that, I LOVE the current Deville/DTS.
Re: Help all you caddi people
I have a 2003 DTS and it is twice the car my 2004 SRX is in many respects. I just drove a 2005 STS V8 and while it is a dramatic improvement over the SRX, I still would rather take a long trip in the DTS.
However, the DTS has suffered for a couple of years as Caddy is playing the squeeze game on the DTS and holding back until they screw it up with a Europranized version.
DTS pluses over STS (in my opinion)
Steering wheel Cruise Control, Rear mirror turn signals, better seats, more room, bigger trunk and opening
STS pluses
Like the adaptive cruise control and the HUD, better transmission, stronger 1/4 mile and would do better on the Nurembourg ring (if you ever wanted to do that)
Cadillac exhibits poor assembly quality on the early SRXes (my opinion). However, the STS is built like a real Cadillac so probably wouldn't hold first year against it.
Still don't understand the hullablu about rear wheel drive over front wheel drive. Frankly I think it's just an excuse to get people who experience snow and ice to spend the extra bucks for AWD in order to compensate for all the inherent bad weather disadvantages of rear wheel drive.
Styling is a whatever on both. Frankly I would like it if the STS looked less like a CTS.
My summary:
Best price value = DTS
Best handling = STS (of course both have stabilitrack which is a must) MR and AWD are a STS advantage here if you really think you need all of that.
Best long distance trip car = DTS
Best 4 or 5 passenger car = DTS (wouldn't want to sit in back behind a driver over 5'10" for any distance)
Best if you are tall or calorically challanged = DTS
One last point, I would probably like my SRX a lot better if I didn't have a history of 1 ETC and 3 DTSes. I have the SRX because we thought we wanted an SUVish vehicle.
My favorite Caddy was the ETC and I really wish they had carried it forward and upgraded its featurability.
Tough choice but you probably won't regret either one.
Re: Help all you caddi peopleOriginally Posted by mack1a
Notice that there was no "V Series" in the old FWD cars. A serious high performance seville or deville was never possible because they handled "poorly" and they couldn't put that much power to the wheels. (FWD issues)
When I drove the STS and the DTS back to back, the DTS felt bulky and slow. The STS felt light on its feet and very agile.
As I mentioned before. I love the traditional big classic american style sedans. (i currently have a newer Park Avenue) They really have nothing in the way of performance and everying in the way of comfort. These new caddies are trading a very smalll bit of comfort for HUGE gains in performance. A trade off that I am excited to live with.
Perhaps the future DTS will be my dream car....( a DTS-V would be SWEET!!)

Your forgeting the STS has magnetic ride control, 5.1 surround sound, bluetooth, romote start, and keyless ignition.
so to add to the summary
Best audio= STS
Quiet interior= STS
Best drivers vehicle= STS
Most trunk space= DTS
Re: Help all you caddi people
I think they would be both equaly comfortable on a long trip.
Re: Help all you caddi people
I understand you point about power. And my thinking about the DTS is that it handles fantastically for a car of its' size and comfort. It's not a performance competitor to the STS but then an STS is a dog alonside a Corvette When I lived in Minnesota long long ago I would have killed for a FWD DTS. The RWD advantage is great when you are on a dry drag strip. The same configuration becomes useless when snow or ice keep you from even being able to put 50 HP down on the road due to wheelspin.
I would buy a DTS V in a heart beat as long as it wasn't some europeanized version with the gas cap on the wrong side and it still reflected DTS heritage.

Re: Help all you caddi peopleOriginally Posted by mack1a
So your saying RWD is only good on the strip? Hey most of us here drive FWD caddys so the respect is there, but you have to admit, that if our cars were RWD, it would make a wrld of a difference. I mean our FWD Caddys are Really nose heavy, so balance is out of the equation, something you notice even at low speeds... I mean our cars werent bulit to be ultimate performance sedans, but its great that Caddy has finally decided to go back to RWD, even if it does mean that all the new cadys will eb a bit tighter in the ride department. so what, you have that confidence of knowing your car is just as capable in the corners yet has a smoother ride than the 5 series right beside you
Re: Help all you caddi people
No, I am not really saying RWD is only good on a strip. But that environment is where RWD performs at its' best. Now ice up a strip and that will be where it performs at its' worst and FWD performs best. I live in Florida and I don't care if the car is FWD or RWD or any other combination someone wants to come up with. What I am saying is that why anyone who lives somewhere where they have to drive thru winters with ice and snow would want RWD instead of FWD is beyond me. Their only viable option is to spend a lot of money and go to AWD if they have a vehice that starts with RWD as its' basic configuration.
Now, if Cadillac would do a DTS V (400 HP or better), add the features they are resticting to the STS such as Adaptive CC, HUD and other new goodies while leaving some of its good Cadillac exclusivities and remember which side the gas filler goes on, you would see it in my garage be it RW or FW drive. It would be too big to be a gymkhana queen but sure would be a great North American touring car.
If it starts as RWD I just wouldn't want to add expense, weight and additional failure rates of AWD.

Re: Help all you caddi people
I don't mean anything other than more moving things to go bump in the night. It's the old 4 engine planes have more engine failures per plane than 2 engine planes thing.

However, the most important offseason change will be the replacement of the outdated video boards. It was hard not to notice the problems the four checkerboard screens experienced in recent years, such as bulb outages and discolorations - and UNC heard about it frequently from the fans.
This season, the fans' concerns will be silenced by four state-of-the-art "MegaVision" screens.
"It's been in the works for quite a while," said Michael Beale, UNC's director of sports marketing. "We've known we've needed to upgrade."
The screens' dimensions are 17.8'-by-23.6', according to Norwood Teague, the associate athletic director of sports marketing.
"That is the actual video board display, not the total structure," Teague explained. "This makes these some of the largest indoor boards in the country."
From a technical standpoint, the resolution for the new screens is 16mm (which is the measurement between each color pixel). Traditional JumboTrons in the 1980s were at best around 50mm. As a result of MegaVision's "Pixelization" technology, they are able to provide a resolution that is about three times better.
Fans in the Smith Center can therefore expect a high-quality image from wherever they sit and, coupled with the LED ribbon boards added last season, this will increase the staff's capability to show more highlights, statistics and other features.
"Obviously our goal is always to improve the atmosphere and enhance the fan experience," Beale said. "This year we'll be able to have more stats, cleaner images, better player profiles - anything we want to do. We have the ability now for the pure reasons that the boards before were so old."
Beale said the project is now nearing completion.
"They'll be up and running for 'Late Night,'" he added.
As for future projects, perhaps extending the LED ribbon boards all the way around the interior as can be seen in many other arenas?
"We are certainly looking into doing that in the future," Beale said. After last year, they were a huge hit and generated a lot of excitement from ours fans. But we had to address the glaring [video board] issue. That was the glaring issue that we heard fans talk about the most."

This week sees the release of Blu-ray, the first of the next generation high definition optical discs formats to hit the UK. The format is most closely associated with Sony, but the first dedicated drive is actually available from Samsung. Sony is not ignoring the launch of its own format however. We've already looked at the impressive Vaio VGN-AR21S notebook that features an integrated Blu-ray drive and now Sony has put another Blu-ray notebook drive into it's latest desktop Media Center system - the VGX-XL202. This is essentially the same as the VGX-XL201 but with the addition of twice the hard disc capacity, a slightly faster CPU and the Blu-ray drive, for which you'll pay an extra £800 – a hefty additional sum.
Before we focus on the Blu-ray drive, we should look at the system as a whole. One of the first hurdles that a Media Center system has to get over is the living room test. If the average person walks into the room and can tell that it's a PC under the TV, then the unit has failed. The Sony Vaio VGX-XL202 passes with flying colours. I'd go as far as saying that's it's the best looking Media Center System I've seen.
It is quite high and very deep too, but that's something that the more hardcore AV enthusiast will rather like - it looks like they're getting a lot for their money. A large luxurious looking Vaio logo is etched in silver across the expansive lid. The large silver flap at the front opens and closes with a satisfying click and rather than just flopping down, while the hinges have some resistance so that it lowers itself slowly. The sides are made of long silver slats that look good and also let heat escape from the interior.
There's a power button on the top left of the black and silver fascia with small lights under the surface that indicate power, hard disk activity and wireless connectivity. This discreet approach is just what's required - you don't want lots of naff lights ruining the ambiance when you're watching a film. Of course, the serious home cinema buff will probably have their kit housed in a custom made cupboard but you might very well want to leave this Sony on display - at least once you've taken off the various stickers that adorn the front. The Blu-ray drive is slot loading and will suck in the discs as soon as you start to feed them into it.
Underneath that front flap you'll find a card reader catering for all major formats, including CompactFlash. You'll also find two USB 2.0 ports, a four-pin FireWire 400 port, and composite and S-Video inputs along with stereo phono inputs. There's a mini-jack style microphone connector and hinting at its true AV credentials, a full size headphone socket. I was looking for somewhere to plug in my own iPod headphones and was unable to find a socket - time to dig out that mini-jack to full size adapter I guess.
On the far right of the front flap you'll find a Connect button for connecting the wireless keyboard. The keyboard integrates a trackpad on the right hand side, which makes it possible to get round Windows from a distance. That said, as a left hander I found it difficult to use, as for me it was on the wrong side (it was fine for everyone else though - ed.). The keyboard is powered by four AA batteries, which is quite a lot but there's an LCD which indicats the power remaining so you shouldn't be caught short.

Do you love to watch Network TV Show Series?
If you love to watch a good network tv show series as much as I do – you'll enjoy the article I just wrote on TV Shows and the New Paradigm of watching the way we want to!
There is no question that tv is being made as good as it ever was. The production value of many network shows rivals that of big budget motion pictures!
You can't help but dig that!
Do you watch tv live?
Wouldn't you rather timeshift?
I have some friends who are reluctant to start recording shows on DVR's and watching the way they want them.
They seem to think it's ok to be slaves to the networks and change their schedules or perhaps miss shows.
I can't say they're crazy because I know a lot of people don't take recording from satellite tv or downloading tv shows as seriously as I do BUT I do know that if they would give in and experience the freedom that DVR's and Downloading of TV Shows offers us – they'd never sit through a bad block of tv commercials again!

"Frisco home intruder shoots man after confrontation
06:59 AM CDT on Friday, March 21, 2008
From staff reports
A Frisco man was shot in his home by an intruder Thursday evening, minutes after returning from work, police said.
8400 block of Hickory Street
Steven Geddie, 24, heard someone breaking into the back door of his home in the 8400 block of Hickory Street around 6 p.m., police said. He told police he grabbed a shotgun and confronted the man in a hallway.
The two exchanged gunfire, and the intruder fled. Mr. Geddie suffered a minor wound in his left arm and refused to be taken to the hospital for treatment, police said.
He said the intruder, possibly a Hispanic or Asian man, was wearing a red bandana over his face, a Dallas Cowboys cap, a gray-and-white jacket and jeans.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Frisco police at 972-292-6010. "
Often I come home from work and get in relax mode. Kick of the shoes, disarm etc. This is one more example of "anytime, anywhere". 6pm on a Thursday afternoon in your own house. It is too bad his shotgun work was not effective at more permanently removing the thugs from his profession.
I'll bet a dollar he had his shotty loaded with ineffective brand 'birdshot'. :\

Janq, that's very likely. That is one issue I was recently discussing with a friend about a home defense gun. The shotgun is great, but if it is not loaded correctly your not giving yourself the proper weapon for the fight.
I as well as a whole lot of other people, consider the 12 guage to be the ultimate in home defense. But you might as well load it with rock salt if all your shooting is birdshot. That guy is lucky to have just had a minor injury.

The shooting distance was a matter of feet. Birdshot should have been sufficiently effective....IF HE HAD HIT THE SUSPECT. There was no evidence that the suspect was hit - no blood, blood trail, etc. So the homeowner could have been shooting a Barrett .50 BMG and had the same performance with a MISS.
Maybe the suspect was wearing body armor. Level IIIa soft armor would be enough to stop bird, buck and even most slugs at close range. So the shotgun could have been properly loaded and the vest hit, but not the suspect inside it (no penetration).
Considering yourself to be defenseless is the first administrative step to becoming a victim.
I would normally say thinking a common burglar would have body armor is absurd but if you are going to consider a career in home invasions in Texas, I would have to say body armor might be a good investment.
There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil.

Bullet Grazes Frisco Homeowner During Shooting - News Story - KXAS | Dallas
I watched the video of the homeowner demonstrating everything. I don't see the video posted yet, but here is the story.
Jang, you owe us all a dollar! The homeowner did not have a shotgun loaded with buckshot. HE MISSED WITH ALL 16 PELLETS AT CLOSE RANGE, across the room and in the video, the room appeared to be maybe 12-15 feet across and he was in it with the intruder when he fired. Effectiveness of caliber is most important when the bullets/pellets/slugs actually hit the intended target. Since he missed, no impact on the intruder.
The shot was to the left (and I am guessing low left, so possible flinch). I am sure it didn't help that he was using a pistolgriip shotgun didn't help his sighting and chances are that he had never fired the shotgun from that position previously.
Bullet Grazes Frisco Homeowner During Shooting
POSTED: 10:48 pm CDT March 21, 2008
UPDATED: 10:57 pm CDT March 21, 2008
FRISCO, Texas -- A bullet grazed a Frisco man during a shootout in his condo on Thursday.
Frisco police said Steve Geddie was lucky to have escaped alive after the shooting, which happened at his home on Hickory Creek on Thursday evening.
Geddie said he was in the bathroom when he heard an intruder breaking into his condo through the back door.
"So I'm sitting on the toilet (and) I hear this banging," he said.
Geddie said he crept through his bathroom, into his bedroom.
"(I) reached underneath my mattress, pulled up the shotgun (and) loaded up the chamber -- size one buckshot," he said.
Geddie then walked toward his living room, where he confronted the intruder, he said.
He said the man's gun was "literally right in my chest."
"My first instinct is to move to the side," Geddie said. "He grazed my shoulder on the first shot."
The man got two shots off, he said.
Geddie said he dropped the shotgun and then dove to the ground to pick it back up. Geddie said he pulled the shotgun up as the intruder headed out the door. He took a shot at the man, but missed just to the left of him, he said.
"I grabbed the shotgun up, pulled it up as he was heading out the door, and just missed to the left of him,"
"Otherwise, he would have had size-1 buckshot all through his thighs and butt," Geddie said.
Geddie's shotgun blasted 16 pellets and an 8-inch hole through his wall.
His wife, Kathryn, worked out late on Thursday. If she hadn't, she would have confronted the suspect alone, she said.
"Had it been me home, it could have been a completely different story that you're covering today," she said.
Steve Geddie, an Alaskan-born gun enthusiast, said homeowners should be prepared for incidents like he faced.
"I believe that every homeowner should be able to be prepared for self-preservation in the event that something like this happens," he said.
Geddie said his brain was the most powerful weapon he used during the incident. He was able to think his way through everything, he said.
Considering yourself to be defenseless is the first administrative step to becoming a victim.
Shooting a shotgun with a pistol grip while lieing on your back (or prone)...I can't tell from that article, isn't easy. Still if the room is only 12 to 15 feet across it's hard to imagine how he missed...even point shooting. Lucky home owner, lucky home invader. I'll bet he crapped himself running down the street.
"Any rationally thinking person is armed" ---Hinds Co. constable John Lewis

The just rebroadcast the segment. The homeowner also shot the shotgun one-handed as per his demo. He showed how he picked it up with one hand, while on his side, extended his arm, and fired. So add that to the list of reasons for having missed as well.
Considering yourself to be defenseless is the first administrative step to becoming a victim.
As 00-Spy said, that pistol grip didnt help his aim. The fact he was laying on the floor and most likely shot one handed, I'm sure contribuited to the miss, but on the plus side only dry wall to repair, no blood, and I would think this BG would move to other easier pickins. And the news story is a big plus for our ability to carry and protect ourselves, our family and our homes.

Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
The Hillsboro Inlet exists as a slice of ocean intersecting Broward County's barrier islands, a swath of green waters between mansions. It seems like nothing more than a place to pass through from ocean to Intracoastal, not as a destination for divers and snorkelers. But if you enter the inlet from the ocean side and turn sharply south, you'll see a spot where the water swirls, where the tides get held up in a pool, spinning slightly like a drain has opened below. Here is where the fish get stuck. Colorful and striped numbers fill this spot and congregate in what for fish must be the Bermuda Triangle. There's a small beach here accessible only by boat or a long walk up the beach. Start from there, wading into waters thick with tropical fish. Drop a bucket and you'll be sure to catch a dozen. Reach out to them as you snorkel and dive — they seem so discombobulated in this dead end that they barely move. It's your own personal fish tank, right here in this passage to somewhere else.
It's not just that the team has won a lot more games since he's been gone than when he was here. That wouldn't be fair — the Miami Heat is better for a lot of reasons. But one of those reasons is certainly the absence of Michael Beasley. And it's not that he's a bad player — he's young, and it's yet to be determined whether he's worthy of pro ball. But the six-foot-ten power forward wasn't a good player down here, that's for sure. He wasn't ready for South Florida, for the nightlife, for the attention that comes with being a number-two-overall draft pick going to a marquee franchise. When Chris Bosh and LeBron James came into South Florida, Beasley got shipped to Minnesota, where he's averaged more minutes, more points, and fewer embarrassing off-the-court incidents.
No, he doesn't have the quickest feet or the strongest arm or the most accurate passes. No, he doesn't always throw it to his own team, and he doesn't always make the best decisions — or any decision at all sometimes, staring blank-faced into a viscous blitz. As a matter of fact, Chad Henne really isn't a very good pro quarterback at all. But damn, can that boy stuff some balloons down his shirt and dance! In case you didn't see it, Henne took a little vacation to the Bahamas during the first few weeks of the NFL lockout, and while there, he was spotted dancing at a bar, using balloons to look like boobs. It was spectacular. If nothing else, Henne truly brings new meaning to the word bust.
Since the moment LeBron James made "The Decision" — an obnoxious, hourlong paean to himself (with profits going to charity) in which he famously told the world he was "taking [his] talents to South Beach" — his popularity has hovered somewhere around the Tiger Woods area. And he certainly makes it easy, what with the self-titled cartoons, the self-monikered "King" T-shirts, the commercials and ridiculous birthday cakes, and the overall sense of entitlement he has seemed to exude since he was a senior in high school. He misses shots at the end of games, he sends out Tweets that seem to mock his old team, and he has an entourage bigger than the cast of the show Entourage. But there's also this: LeBron James is already, at age 26, one of the greatest basketball players of all time. He's a standout on a team of stars, an MVP candidate despite everything else. Watching him at his best — he defies the laws of physics the way Picasso defied the traditions of paint — is something akin to a religious experience.
It had never been done — three of the game's top players taking fate and free-agency into their own hands, joining forces to create a superteam right here in South Florida. And ever since, the Miami Heat, with a cast of characters that seemed almost Shakespearean, have been the most watched, most discussed, most reviled team in America. And to the delight of millions of sports fans, the team got off to an inauspicious start. Then, after a throat-ripping in Cleveland, came an incredible, nearly two-month run in which the team lost only one game. The way it swept into towns, created such a stir, then moved right along, LeBron compared the team to the Beatles. Then a Tweet about "karma" and — wouldn't you know it? — some injuries. There was a rough stretch, then another run of victories. Then five big losses in a row, some talk of crying, a solved custody dispute, a funny song about Chris Bosh, and another great run. And that's the story of this team: winning or losing, on the court or off, intentional or not, there's always something. Will the Heatles accomplish their stated goal of multiple championships? Only time will tell.
The Marlins might not have a recent history of winning, but the team sure can find sensational rookies. The Marlins had a terrific trio of first-year players in 2010. Mike Stanton, who has the makings of a superstar, was electrifying but inconsistent. Logan Morrison came on as the season progressed like a ton of bricks and may prove to be the best pure hitter of the three. But first-baseman Gaby Sanchez was the mainstay, hitting .273 with 19 home runs and 85 RBIs. His most memorable moment, though, had everything to do with his heart, which may be the Miami native's best attribute. When Phillies wild man Nyjer Morgan charged Marlins pitcher Chris Volstad on the mound late in the season, he clearly had designs of landing a haymaker on the side of Volstad's head. But just before Morgan could land his punch, a blur streaked to the mound and put the Philly on his back. The blur was Sanchez, who came from first base and clotheslined Morgan in one of the most memorable scenes of the entire baseball season. Sanchez has said he wants to be known for his playing rather than his fighting. That's a player with heart. That's Gaby Sanchez.

A Consumerist reader noticed that his Primo-brand bottle water, made from plastic derived from corn-based byproducts (and water!), shrank noticeably in the sun. I think that's an acceptable trade-off for non-petroleum-based plastics if you must buy bottled water in the first place. The shrinking shows the biodegrading is working!

Some of the Eqyss products have recently had their labels, ingredient wording, and order of ingredient listing changed. This has caused speculation that the products are not the same and/or are not as effective as they used to be; however this is not true. Eqyss products have NOT changed their ingredients for over 21 years. The wording was changed to facilitate sales in international markets and the order of ingredient listing was changed to reflect the amount of the ingredient relative to other ingredients. Eqyss has published a letter explaining this, which you can view by clicking here.

" Genre: Fiction / Author: Jeff Shaara / Edition: New edition / Paperback / 848 Pages / Book is published 2006-01-02 by Bantam Books "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Another book I received from Readitswapit - just showing how that website can increase the range of books that you read!
To the Last Man is described as a Novel of the First World War but it is based on real people and characters from the conflict and follows real events - so is probably more accurately described as a half novel, half historical book.
Jeff Shaara has written a number of other books about conflicts which I havent yet read (but based on this will probably be trying to get my hands on!)
Plot of To the Last Man
The novel loosely follows the action of the first world war - but starting around the time when the Americans were considering entering the war. Jeff Shaara is an American so this is told from the American point of view. When reading this novel you just have to accept that and move on, all the early sacrifice by European troops is acknowledged but the action in this book mainly follows the Americans.
The book tells the story of significant moments during the first world war from the view point of different historical figures.
For example in the first chapter we meet a nameless Tommy who is being sent to the front line for the Battle of the Somme. No prizes for guessing what happens to him! But this said his story is extremely poignant and would have been typical at the time. Just because we know how many millions of men died doesn't mean that it is not upsetting to read about the awful conditions in the trenches and the horrible deaths the soldiers faced.
The book then focusses on events later in the war, covering such incidents as the Americans joining the war, the exploits of the Red Baron and the Lafayette Squadren, and the final invasion of the war leading to Armistace day.
The main characters in the book that we get to know by name are described below.
General Pershing
The head of the American army force to be deployed to Europe - follow this soldier who desperately wants to get stuck in and is slowed down by slow decision making and a lack of desire for a war that many in the US government didnt really want.
We are given a genuine insight to a character that I knew very little about and I thought that he was definitely a guy I would have liked to have known - passionate about his troops and about winning the war.
The soldiers / pilots of the Lafayette Air Squadron
I didnt know, before I read this book that there were a small group of Americans who somehow claimed french citizanship so that they could fly planes in the war. The stories of their daring exploits and the honour code that they shared with the GErman pilots is both interesting and touching. Even when they kill the enemy they treat them with respect - both sides understanding that there is little worse that not knowing what has happened to a pilot. The horrible fear of burning to death is ever present and helps to explain their actions.
The Red Baron
Proving that he doesnt just know the American side of the war Jeff Shaara tells the story of the Red Baron the most feared GErman pilot of the first world war. Again, we are given a real insight to this mans character and why he did what he did. Fascinating!
A Marine
Finally see the final days of world war one through the eyes of a marine.
What did I think
I loved the characters and the balanced nature of this novel - it is not just about America winning the war but tells the human story of some horrific events. You get to know the stars of the novel and realise that in war there are no winners and losers -just a lot of blood and suffering on all sides.
I would highly recommend this book especially to those who don't do non fiction books as it is a great way of learning some of the facts whilst reading a human story!
Whilst the reader has a vague idea of what happens in the book the detail that Shaara goes into really brings the first world war to life. It made me laugh in places and cry in others!

No, you won't have to sit next to me, so even if you can't stand this blog, you can still absolutely enjoy this concert. If you don't like Reba or Chaka, bring a few banh mi's, a growler of Eagle Rock Brewery, and just get lit under the moon while cozying up in your leopard Snuggies. There is just no way not to enjoy Hollywood Bowl Opening Night, since there will be fireworks, and Julie Andrews is inducting the two ladies into Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame.
As a tip: motorcycle gets free parkin. There aren't too many bike riding foodies, but Hollywood Bowl has always welcomed motorcycles. You park at the parking lot on the Southeast corner of Odin and Highland Ave, and the parking attendants will always let you in/out first. It's a longer walk than the hilltop parking, but you save 30 minutes after the concerts. And it's free. So for all you motorcycle/scooter riding readers: this is a completely free night to partake in an LA summer tradition.
How: leave a comment, or RT on twitter
When: Give away ends 4:00PM Pacific Time, June 20th, 2012.
Pretty sure the competition is not fierce, so chance of winning is rather high. Winner will be able to pickup tickets at Hollywood Bowl will-call.
Hollywood Bowl 2021 Summer Calendar
Thinking about segwaying into some kind of post was hard. It would've been easy to complete this with with a visit to a restaurant somewhere in South LA or Compton. It would be equally great to mention Bludso's is finally moving uptown. Instead, 2 recent lunches proved themselves to be packed with soul. Nearly a year and a half ago, I spent a few days in Hanoi. Rather, I had planned to stay a few days in Hanoi. Due to some Thai Airway clustercluck, that particular Hanoi itinerary was reduced to a rather paltry 36 hours. Of course, without a handler ala Bourdain, there was no way to stuff any form of gastro discovery into a day and a half, especially because the only Hanoian Vietnamese I spoke were: "bun cha", and "bia". Still, it was tremendous, and the experiences of randomly riding the bus, randomly picking roadside bia hoi's, randomly picking a night market, and randomly eating dinner at a cantina frequented by airport cabbies (USD$1 for a plate dinner) were some of the most memorable events during a 30-day Asian whirlwind tour.
Hanoi isn't known to be a culinary hotspot no matter what some food writer types wants us to believe. Southern Vietnamese laughs at the rudimentary palates of the Northeners, refugee Vietnamese mocks the meals eaten by the Northerners as communist. Some say all the great chefs have escaped the country, especially from Hanoi.
One'd like to think these cooks/chefs/moms can be found in Little Saigon, especially at an eponymous joint called "Hanoi Ave".
See the cha ca thang long & bun cha Hanoi (along with bun rieu):
Shrimp paste, deemed as "country" by Southerners, is used in thick and thinned forms here. The cooking is simple, herbs fresh and abundant. Fish sauce runs amuck. Adam Fleischman would be wise to take the bun cha and stuff it in between his buns. That'd be a true pork burger. Serve it with a side of pork jus, and it'll be the best burger Umami will never dare to make.
If Chaka Khan is the queen of funk, Hanoian food is the queen of Vietnamese food funk. We must give the dank edge to Hanoi Ave though; immersing oneself in a little of Chaka Khan/Chaka Khan probably wouldn't leave you smelling like a bucket of rotten shrimp turned garum.

Sheri Koetting-Levitt, in loving memory of Tyler
Last year, my childhood friend and the best man at my wedding lost his son, Tyler, to SIDs. Although there was nothing that could have been done, I remember Tyler's mother mentioning that everyone should get certified in infant and child CPR. I've always wanted to certify myself, my husband, my mother, mother-in-law, nanny, etc., but at $75 a head it really adds up!
I've found an amazing Red Cross instructor, Bo Nobel, who is willing to donate his time. Thanks to Bo and Long Island City Kids for the gracious use of their space, 100% of all proceeds will go to the New York State Center for Sudden Infant Death. Here they offer education and grief counseling for free.
Even better, every person who joins us and learns child and infant CPR is one more person who may save a life in the future.

Lucy Hale, 'You Sound Good to Me' – Song Review
'Pretty Little Liars' star and Selena Gomez doppelganger Lucy Hale is launching her country music career in the form of 'You Sound Good to Me.' She is a southern girl, hailing from Memphis, Tenn., so country music in her blood.
'You Sound Good to Me' is what you'd expect — a sun-splashed, upbeat track with just the right amount of guitar twang driving the song. No, Hale is not a belter by any means, nor does she try to be that. But her voice has this super sweet, ultra confident, warm and inviting tone on 'You Sound Good to Me.' We don't need her to go diva range on us and we don't want her to, either.
The song boasts a clap and chant part at about 2:15 in and it's super fun and cute.
Hale has delivered a perfectly constructed pop-country song that should earn her some comparisons to Taylor Swift. It's inevitable. But stripping the song of any expectations and putting Hale's reputation as an actress aside, we cannot deny that 'You Sound Good to Me' is cray catchy and easy on the ears.
It's a pleasant, easy-to-digest track. It's not outside of the box, nor is it reinventing the pop-country hyphenate. It's not delving into the strong storytelling side of the genre, either. But it goes down smooth.
Yep, as a country singer, Lucy Hale sure sounds good to us.

My wife and I will be taking a CCW class soon and are looking for what we will be carrying. I just sold my P250 40 and am looking at something small and easy to conceal. I've narrowed it down to either a M&P Shield 9mm (possibly 40 if I where to actually stumble onto one) or a Sig P238/938. I'm 5'11 & 190lbs, so I should be able to conceal any of these fairly easy. I normally dress in jeans & T-shirt or shorts & T-shirt. Do wear vest & jackets in the winter fairly often, but i want to this gun to work well with everything. I will primarily carry IWB in probably a crossbreed or possibly a Remora Clipless at times, but could possibly see pocket carrying on a few occasions. I do realize the P238 would probably be the easiest to conceal in every occasion.
I haven't even held A Shield in my hand yet, but we both have shot a M&P9C. My wife instantly fell in love with the M&P9C, but after watching reviews has decided she wants the Shield for ease of concealing on her. So we will probably be searching for at least one of these. I have shot a P238, it fit my hand rather well with the extended mag and shot very nicely. So I'm kinda debating whether I want to hold out and get us both Shields. Or go ahead with a Sig to give us a little diversity to carry/shoot/try out for a while.
As everyone knows the Shield is hard to find and aren't making to the shelves of most of my LGSs. It being about $150-250 cheaper than P238/P938s is appealing to me as we are looking at buying guns for both of us soon. However there are several options available locally to me for P238s and a few P938s. To anyone that has both, should I hold out for a Shield myself too or just go ahead and get another Sig?
Thanks for any input!

text: I have never had this problem before. But all of a sudden none of my season passes are being scheduled or showing up in my to do list. I tried a manual connect to the Tivo service and a reboot. Neither of these things worked. If I manually schedule a show to record it will show up in the to do list. But like I said, none of my season passes are now being scheduled. I have a few news programs that air 5 days a week and should always be scheduled to record (but not anymore) so it isn't like a show has ended and that is why it is not showing up in the to do list. Anyone else have this problem or know how I can fix this? It is a major issue to have all your season passes not showing up to be recorded.
