Higher education is usually considered to be courses above level three. It includes foundation, undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, National Health Service courses, Higher National Diplomas, teacher training and other professional courses. Usually, courses take place at a university or adult education college.
If your course is at level three or below, such as A-levels, GCSEs or NVQs, it is considered to be further education. If you are unsure whether the course you intend to study is considered further or higher education, contact your course provider.
For more information see our factsheet on money for further education
This is the name given to grants and loans available to help towards your living costs and other expenses while you are in higher education.
As a single parent you are classed as an independent student. This means that if you live with your parents, their income isn't taken into consideration when working out your student finance.
Most of your income is ignored when calculating your entitlement to student finance. -Income from work isn't taken into account and most single parents will qualify for the highest levels of support, unless you or your children have other sources of income.
Most students apply to Student Finance England or Wales. If you're taking a course in health care or social work you may also need to apply elsewhere – see page four.
You can apply online. To make sure you get your money in time for the start of the course, you should apply several months before your course starts. You don't need to wait until your place is confirmed. For new students the deadline for the application is the May before your course starts. You can make a late application, but it will probably mean your payments will be delayed.
Your application should be processed within six weeks. Most types of student finance are paid in three instalments, at the beginning of each term.
Some funding for students will be different depending on whether you come from England or Wales. This factsheet will state whether the funding is for English or Welsh students or both.
A Welsh student is someone who normally lives in Wales but is studying anywhere in the UK.
Some types of student finance are grants, which don't have to be repaid. However, the main types of student finance are loans, which are repayable.
If you're a full-time student and started your course in September 2012 or later, you will start repaying your loan once you have finished the course and are earning over £21,000 a year.
Part-time students who have been studying for three years will start paying back the loan if they start earning over £21,000 while they are studying.

You can combine benefits and student finance in order to support yourself financially during your studies. It's important to note that you cannot choose to claim benefits instead of applying for student finance if you are entitled to it. If you don't apply for student finance, you are treated as receiving it when your entitlement to benefits is calculated. You must tell the offices that pay your benefits and tax credits that you are a student and about the changes to your income.
Certain types of student finance are counted as income when calculating your entitlement to income support, income-related employment and support allowance, income-based jobseeker's allowance and housing benefit. The list below covers the main types of student finance that will reduce your benefit entitlement. To calculate the correct amount specific to your situation, you will need to seek further advice. You can call our helpline on 0808 802 0925 for more help with this.
● The maximum amount of maintenance loan you are entitled to (even if you do not apply for it), less:
– The amount of the loan that is for books and equipment
– A fixed amount for travel costs
– £10 a week general disregard.
● Any part of a professional and career development loan that is for your living costs. If you receive lump sum payments from the access to learning funds (England) or financial contingency funds (Wales) for day-to-day living costs, it is treated as savings rather than income. If the amount you receive is for course-related costs, it is ignored completely
● NHS bursaries
● Teacher training bursaries.
Single parents with a child below the age of five can claim income support, but your student finance income may mean that you can only receive income support during the summer break (as your loan is spread over term-time, i.e. September to June). An important exception to this is if you are receiving support for mortgage interest payments as part of your income support claim. If this is the case you should get advice as you may continue to receive help with your mortgage interest payments during term-time.
You may also qualify for income support if you cannot get student finance, for example, if it is your second degree or a postgraduate qualification.
You cannot claim jobseeker's allowance if you are a full-time student, other than exceptions for the summer holidays (see below).
If your course is partly or fully paid for by certain government funds and you have more than 16 hours guided learning hours a week (eg lectures or workshops), you are treated as in full-time education. This does not include time you spend studying on your own. Check your learning agreement with your provider if you are not sure.
If your course is not partly or fully paid for by certain government funds, you will usually be treated as in full-time education if your college or education provider defines the course as full-time.
If you take a part-time course, you may be able to claim jobseeker's allowance. You must continue to look for work and be available for work. You will only be treated as available for work by jobcentre plus if:
- You are able to show that the course does not affect the hours you have agreed you are available for work, or
- You are willing and able to give up your course if a suitable job becomes available.
During the summer break, the student loan for living costs is not normally counted as income. If your child is under the age of five or you are a full-time carer for someone with a disability, you may be able to claim income support during these months.
If your children are not young enough for you to claim income support you can claim jobseeker's allowance. This is the same amount as income support, but you must be able to meet the work-seeking conditions.
There are special rules for single parents claiming jobseeker's allowance and looking for work. See our factsheets Claiming jobseeker's allowance and Jobseeker's allowance: special rules for single parents for more information.
If you claim benefits during term time, tell Jobcentre Plus about your change in circumstances and ask that benefits are re-calculated in the holidays.
You cannot claim carer's allowance if you are in full-time education of 21 hours or more a week. This includes individual study time as well as attending classes or lectures.
If you are a part time student you should check with your college to find out how many hours per week your course requires in study and attendance time. If it is less than 21 hours per week you will be able to continue claiming carer's allowance.
Apart from the adult dependants' grant, student support is not taken into account when calculating tax credits. Unless you have other income you should get the maximum amount of child tax credit. If you study and work, you have to work 16 hours a week or more to get working tax credit. If you receive the childcare element of working tax credit, you cannot get a childcare grant as well.
Full-time students do not usually have to pay council tax. You will need to inform your local council that you are a student and claim the exemption.
You can apply to your local authority's council tax reduction scheme if you are a part-time student and claiming benefits or on a low income. The scheme allows residents on low incomes to pay a smaller proportion of their council tax bill. The reduction varies from area to area so you will need to contact your council to get the correct figure.
If you rent your home and have a low income you can claim housing benefit while you study. Your income and capital will be taken into account. See page six for details of student income that is taken into account. You are likely to receive a higher amount outside of term time as your student loan for living costs is not taken into account then.
Universal credit is a new benefit system that will replace many of the current benefits and tax credits. A small number of single parents can claim universal credit in selected jobcentres. For more information on universal credit and how it may affect your family you can visit our universal credit webpage. The rules about universal credit for single parents who are studying are different from other benefits. Call the Gingerbread Single Parent Helpline for advice if you are claiming universal credit.

They've kidnapped the Princess, and it's up to you to save her!
Tilt to steer our hero past the bad guys, using the sprites you collect to jump, bounce, and climb as high as you can!
Astro Bounce puts an intergalactic spin on the traditional jumping game. Each level is filled with sprites that will power you onwards and upwards with each one that you collect. Keep collecting them to increase speed as you power your way to the top, where your beloved princess is waiting.
It's not going to be that easy though, there are, of course, a bunch of bad guys that will try to keep you from reaching your goal. They're full of devious tricks, including getting in your way, pulling you off-course, and doing basically anything to stop you, causing you to fall to your death.
Don't worry though, there are plenty of power-ups available as you hop your way along to give you the edge you need to power past (or through) the bad guys!
Great fun casual game for people of all ages; kids and adults alike!

hello! caroline...8 months old
Friday, November 30, 2012Filed under: caroline
dear caroline,
this month has been an exciting one at our house...we decorated pumpkins, we took you to your very first pumpkin patch, and you went trick-or-treating on halloween to rack up on some candy for mommy and daddy-what a fun time celebrating your first halloween, one of our favorite holidays!
fall has been a lot of fun for us, being able to take you to the park to go swing on warm afternoons, carting you around to festivals and such, and just basking in this wonderful time of year.
on to the specifics...
a growing girl. it was a rough few weeks around these parts as you were one sick puppy. first, it started with a fever and you were fussy, then it turned into a full blown ear infection, with all sorts of coughing and congestion. we had a total of five trips to the doctor, finally got some meds, and then discovered you have an allergy to ammoxicillin, just like me. we were lucky to get you weighed though, and you are a whopping 18 pounds, 7 ounces...my arms agree! you're in size 3 diapers now and are still sporting the 6-9/12 month attire. you are starting to look like a little girl instead of a baby and it makes momma sad to see you changing so quickly. your hair is really starting to grow and it's coming in a lot blonder than i imagined since you had such dark hair when you were born. mommy puts a bow in your hair ANY time we leave the house and you love all the attention you get little one...wonder where you get that from? your two top teeth have arrived, so now we're up to a total of four teeth-mighty impressive my darling.
sleep and everything in between. we have been going through a rough patch in the sleep department these days. you wake up almost everynight between 2-4AM and we have to feed you to get you back down again...luckily, daddy and i rotate nights so it's not too bad. i'm hoping we pass through this "phase" soon enough-i miss those restlful nights my dear! we have done some research and asked your doctor, and it seems as though you're having a bit of separation anxiety (poor little thing). you are still napping 2 times a day, though i HAVE to get you napping in your crib soon...you're getting so big and barely fit in your swing, though that is your favorite place to take a little siesta.
milestones/big days. this has been a HUGE month in your life caroline. you said your first word on halloween ("mama" which practically made my year), and decided you'd like to start pulling up on anything (which means steps are in our near future and scares the bejeezus out of me). you love to crawl and i cannot keep you in one place for long-you're curious, inquisitive, and love to be in the know. you have one FEISTY personality, that's for certain. you like things done your way and you have no tolerance..it's immediate meltdown if you don't get what you want.
mommy and daddy love you tuttie! thanks for making each and every single day too much fun!
important dates/things to remember.
first family fall fest: october 27, 2012
first word "mama": october 31, 2012
first time to pull up/stand: november 2, 2012
first cold: november 8, 2012

Michael Pachter, Wedbush Morgan Securities:
Under-reported announcements or events:
The announcement that I thought was missed was the opening of the Xbox Live Dashboard interface to the internet. Later this year, Microsoft will allow members to access last.fm and to select music, to access Netflix and instantly watch films/TV shows, to access Facebook and interact with other friends, and to access Twitter and post/read tweets.
In order for this to happen, Microsoft has to open up the Xbox Live interface and for the first time will let Xbox Live members use the built-in browser as a browser.
Admittedly, the selection is limited to these four sites, but it's a start, and is a glimpse into the future of the Xbox 360 as a home media/internet hub. I think that this announcement was far and away the most important one of the show, and think that the media completely missed its importance.
Ultimately, Microsoft appears intent on positioning the Xbox 360 as a functioning computer that happens to be located in the living room and is connected to the television. This gives the company a huge jump start on a hopeful Apple, which has as yet to make a dent in sales of its AppleTV (intended for the same purpose).
Microsoft appears to me to understand that it can leverage its 30 million installed base advantage if it moves quickly, and Apple will have a long way to go in order to catch up. By far, this was the most important announcement of E3.
Favorite or least favorite things about the event:
My professional favorite was that E3 was back to an appropriate size, and that the show attracted media attention. This is key to generating consumer interest, and I think it will help reinvigorate sales later in the year.
My personal favorites were the multiplayer Super Mario Bros. Wii game, the return of booth babes, the parties, and the ability to see a lot of people that I haven't seen in a year or more.
Is E3 finally back in the game?
Yes, E3 is way back, and it matters a lot. This year's E3 was a pleasant experience, and it was right-sized.
There was a big enough presence to create a feeling of something huge, but few enough people that the space could be navigated easily. I think that the booth size limitation was a great idea, as the aisles between booths were wide.
The media was there in force, and the media presence will likely be much larger next year, providing ample "free" publicity. The participants, to varying degrees, attracted a lot of attention with celebrity sightings, whether at parties or press conferences. I think bigger is better, and this year's show was plenty big.

Stephens Co. Land Use Committee Continues Work
Stephens County's Land Use Regulation Committee continues to move closer to having a proposed land use plan to put on the table.
The committee met Tuesday at the historic Stephens County Courthouse in downtown Toccoa.
Committee members received an updated draft of the current proposed plan, which is now headed for review by the county attorney.
Land Use Regulation Committee Spokesperson Cynthia Brown said the committee has reached this point after nearly a year of hard work.
"It has come with a lot of discussion and a lot of education and we have come to the conclusion that it is necessary," said Brown.
The committee first met last September and in March, Stephens County Commissioners voted to have the committee move forward with drafting a proposed land use plan, adding more members to the group at that time.
The expanded committee then began meeting in April.
Brown said the next step is to create a map of the county based on the draft proposal that the committee has put together.
"We will take the tax map as it stands today and put our provisions down in different colors so we can see exactly what the county looks like by acres and by districts," said Brown.
According to Brown, the goal is to have a proposed land use plan for the county commission to consider in November.
Brown also said public hearings will take place to allow citizens to learn about and speak on the proposal.
"What people are going to find is that there are no surprises," said Brown. "This is just putting on paper what needs to happen for us to be good neighbors."
She also said that the proposed plan takes into account what is already in place.
"What is in effect today will be grandfathered in," said Brown.
The committee will meet next later this month to continue its work.

I'll admit, this week's H-E-B/ConAgra Meal Maker Challenge, challenge was a real puzzle for me. We don't have hot dogs nearly as much as we used to and when we do have them we, well, eat them as is–in a bun with toppings. And like last week's Make-It-Your-Own Mini Quiches, I needed to keep the recipe within the guidelines of seven or less ingredients and 30 minutes or less time to prepare. And then I remembered that when we go to one of our favorite soup & salad restaurants my family likes to get the chowders and corn chowder is a favorite. I thought that the salty flavor of the hot dogs would add a nice contrast to the sweet corn and I was right. This chowder was a hit and we could not get enough of it! It made great leftovers too. While I used some leftover corn-on-the-cob, you can easily use frozen corn. And what I like about Hebrew National is that their hotdogs have no artificial flavors, colors, fillers or by-products so when I'm going to choose a hot dog, I'd like it to have those qualities!
Don't forget to check out all the recipes for this week on H-E-B's Meal Maker Challenge site and if you like mine the best, please vote for it!
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 4 small potatoes, diced
- 2 cups low-fat milk (I used skim)
- ⅓ cup flour
- 2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 6 Hebrew National hot dogs, sliced into about ½" chunks
- Salt and pepper to taste, optional
- Sauté onion in butter until tender and fragrant. Add potatoes, broth and corn. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat; cover and simmer about 15 minutes until potatoes are tender. Whisk together flour and milk until smooth; gradually stir into broth and vegetable mixture. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Be careful not to let it stick or burn to the bottom of the pan.
- Stir in sliced hot dogs and salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
Disclosure: This post has been made possibly by H-E-B and ConAgra Foods who provided me with promotional items to facilitate my blog posts in the Meal Maker Challenge. However, all opinions are my own. I have also been compensated for my participation.

5 things to know about the French leagueBy DANIELLA MATAR , Associated Press

After the disappointment of the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain has to focus on the French league again and maintaining its march to a second successive title.

It visits Lyon on Sunday, looking to protect its 13-point advantage over second-place Monaco, which travels to Rennes on Saturday.
Lille hosts Valenciennes in a potentially tricky derby match as it attempts to fend off Saint-Etienne's challenge for third spot.
Here are five things to know about this weekend's games:
Paris Saint-Germain has to get over its Champions League disappointment as it turns its attention back to domestic matters this weekend.
PSG went out of Europe's premier club competition on away goals after losing 2-0 at Chelsea on Tuesday.
"There's a lot of disappointment as you can imagine," PSG coach Laurent Blanc said. "Five minutes from the end, we thought we had qualified even though we had suffered a lot.
"It's their first goal that really hurt us. Then we dropped back. It's very difficult to swallow."
Marseille is close to securing the services of coach Marcelo Bielsa and the Argentine could sign a three-year contract next week.
"We've had contacts with Marcelo Bielsa but nothing has been finalized yet," interim coach Jose Anigo said.
Bielsa managed Argentina and Chile and was also in charge at Athletic Bilbao until last summer.
Andre Ayew scored a hat trick as Marseille beat bottom club Ajaccio 3-1 last weekend.
It was Marseille's first win in six matches.
On Friday, Marseille visits Montpellier, which ended a five-match winless streak with victory at Guingamp last weekend.
Despite being second in the French standings, Monaco is reportedly set to change managers in the summer.
Players are thought to be divided about Claudio Ranieri, with some claiming his training methods are too tough, others saying they are too easy.
Reports say Monaco could appoint France legend Zinedine Zidane at the end of the season.
Zidane is part of the coaching staff at Real Madrid and recently said he would like to take the step up to becoming a head coach.
Monaco visits Rennes on Saturday.
Lille has somewhat of a defensive crisis as it prepares for Saturday's derby match against relegation-threatened Valenciennes.
Franck Beria and Pape Souare are suspended after their red cards in a 2-1 win at Toulouse, while David Rozehnal and Rio Mavuba are injured.
Lille will be hoping to consolidate third spot with a third successive win. It is currently five points ahead of Saint-Etienne, which visits Reims on Sunday.
"With six games to go, we all really want to continue with this push," Lille forward Nolan Roux said. "Even if the situation is a bit complicated for Valenciennes at the moment, they will want to win, partly because it's a derby and partly because they want to fight for their place in Ligue 1."
Saint-Etienne has not given up on beating Lille to third spot and the final Champions League place, despite the five-point gap between the two sides.
The team lost ground in the race for the Champions League spot as it was held to a 1-1 draw at home to Nice last weekend.
It will be hoping to boost its challenge by beating another mid-table team, Reims, on Sunday.
"We're battling for third place with Lille. We can't afford any mistakes. That's the reason why the point picked up against Nice is positive," Saint-Etienne defender Moustapha Bayal Sall said.
"Reims is having a good season. It's a good surprise in the league. Reims secured safety quickly and so has been playing freely... We know what's waiting for us. But we're going there to win and we won't give up."

(321.43 kB) Although the term "green building" is relatively new, I've been an environmentally conscious builder since the mid 1970s, when I started a business building solar greenhouses and sunrooms in eastern Rhode Island. My original one-man enterprise has since expanded into three separate but closely linked companies: RemodelWrights, a design-build green remodeling business; SolarWrights, which installs solar electric and solar domestic hot water systems; and Earth Friendly Homes, which designs and builds new custom homes.I'm strongly committed to environmental building, but I'm also a businessman. I've found that positioning myself as a green builder is a sound business strategy as well as a way to do work that I feel good about. Login or Register to continue reading

AIDS-ing Universal Health Care
With universal health care a real possibility this year, AIDS advocates are getting in the game, proposing, endorsing and protesting federal health care reform plans in the hopes that people with HIV/AIDS will finally get adequate health care.
"This is an opportunity to raise the bar," said HIV Medicine Association Executive Director Andrea Weddle. "We have to make sure the reform system meets the needs of people with HIV and AIDS and that medical systems include coordinated, comprehensive care."
Weddle is a member of the HIV Health Care Access Working Group (HHCAWG), which has endorsed ten principles any health care plan must contain, including increasing access to Medicaid coverage; facilitating routine, voluntary HIV screening and counseling; and increasing access to care by strengthening Ryan White community-based programs. The group, which includes members from AIDS Foundation of Chicago, Project Inform, and Housing Works, are judging national health care proposals based on how well they meet these ten criteria.
One of HHCAWG's members, the Treatment Access Expansion Project (TAEP), published an analysis of the plans by Sen. Ron Wyden and Sen. Max Baucus (available at taepusa.org). Baucus's plan fared best, hitting six of the ten check marks, including eliminating barriers for access to Medicaid and Medicare. Wyden's plan only hits three of the criteria, though does promote screening for HIV testing.
What about single payer?
While HHCAWG is open to public and private options, a coalition of activists say that a single-payer health care system is the only sensible option.
Wearing hospital gowns with exposed fake butt cheeks, about 30 activists from the Private Health Insurance Must Go coalition rallied outside Rep. Charles Rangel's Harlem office in the rain Monday, demanding that Rangel, the chair of the House Ways and Means committee, hold testimony on a bill that would provide universal health care.
The group delivered a letter to Rangel demanding that he hold hearings for the United States National Health Care Act (H.R. 676), the only health care bill that would implement single-payer health care. Although Rangel is a co-sponsor of the bill, he hasn't brought it to committee.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Rangel received $123,950 in campaign contributions from HMO/health care services, making him the top House recipient of funds from that group. He also received $81,500 from the pharmaceutical manufacturers.
Single-payer health care would be entirely government-run in the manner of health care systems in Canada and most of Western Europe. The activists argue that health insurance companies provide inadequate coverage and should not be included in a government response to health care. The protestors at Monday's event jumped through hula hoops signifying the "hoops" that private health insurance plans require.
"My private health insurance is leaving my ass out in the cold," said Eric Sawyer, an HIV-positive ACT UP New York member who is also a Rangel constituent and a member of the coalition. In addition, Sawyer said, single-payer health care would lessen the disparities in care that Americans with AIDS experience, depending on what state they live in. "The AIDS-specific safety net has not been an effective public health response," he said.
According to Rangel staffer John Shiner, Rangel hasn't held hearings on any particular bills. Shiner said while he thought in an ideal world Rangel would probably prefer a single-payer health care plan, he noted, "Representative Rangel is looking for a bill that's going to pass."
"Rangel's job is to look at what is politically possible to do and also what the President wants to do and what members are willing to do," Shiner said.
Looking at all sorts of options
Housing Works endorses a single-payer health care plan but supports, as an interim step, a progressive plan that provides universal coverage and broadens the public options.
Robert Greenwald, executive director of the Treatment Access Expansion Project, the group analyzing all of the government health care proposals, said that TAEP is open to the possibility of a single-payer health care plan.
"Most people would consider that dead-on-arrival. I don't," Greenwald said. "We're looking at all proposals to see which one is going to propose the most meaningful health care reform."
Access to AIDS care in the U.S. leaves much to be desired. Despite a mix of Medicaid, Medicare, private health insurance, the Ryan White Care Act, 30 percent of Americans with HIV/AIDS aged 18 to 49 eligible for antiretrovirals went without, according to a 2003 study. And Medicaid and Medicare both only cover people with AIDS when they get sick.
This huge flaw in the system, Greenwald said, is why it is extremely important for any health care plan to include the principles of the Early Treatment for HIV Act (ETHA), which allows states to expand Medicaid to people with HIV and offers substantial subsidies to encourage states to do so.
ETHA was first introduced in 2007, was reintroduced in the House last month, and is expected to be reintroduced in the Senate by Sens. Chuck Schumer and Olympia Snowe shortly.

I would absolutely stay away from Walden for Rhinoplasty. My nose was left unfunctional and I have been unable to breath since the procedure in 2011. She left me with a very narrow nose and pinched tip. Not to mention it was noticeably asymmetric. When I brought up these issues to both her and Dr. Sherrell J. Aston who was her mentor they were both dismissive, claiming my nose was asymmetric to begin with and the breathing wasn't a problem. I just underwent revision septo/rhinoplasty to correct the mess which involved removing a good deal of scar tissue. I'm still only 5 days post op. Save your money for someone who specializes in noses and is an ENT.
Revision Rhinoplasty After Being Unable to Breath After First Procedure. - Los Angeles, CA
I would absolutely stay away from Walden for...
Cast off today
Swapped it out for some tape until Monday. Pretty swollen. There is swelling over my bridge which looks like a bump but I'm assuming will resolve. There was a spreader graft placed on the left side. I found out there were no spreader grafts used in my initial surgery. Everything looks pretty good so far. I know not to jump to conclusions because of swelling!
Getting tape off today
Nose is swollen and a bit achey. There is a small bump on bridge, not sure if it is the tape or swelling over the spreader graft. I'm going to ask the doctor about it today. I've been breathing through my nose at night which is amazing.
Tape came off
The doctor said I'm healing well. I feel like my nose BLEW UP after the tape came off. I kind of feel like a freak show :/. Hoping it resolves soon. He used a soft tissue graft on my bridge where the last surgeon left a dent, which is now a bump, so if it doesn't resolve in two weeks he will use a steroid injection.

2 weeks post. Nose looks huge.
Bummed out today, reassuring comments welcome!
I'm about 16 days post op and my asymmetry looks WORSE than before. I hope its just swelling but my tip is leaning from underneath dramatically and the tip looks asymmetric. Has anyone had similar issues? My nose will always lean to the right a bit more which I'm ok with. I'm very realistic about my results. I emailed my Dr with pictures because I feel very concerned.

What Will the Olympics Do for China?
The Beijing Olympics opened on Aug. 8th with a pyrotechnic display of Chinese organization, technology, and talent in the Bird's Nest national stadium. The four-hour show directed by Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou featured more than 15,000 performers including martial arts experts, singers, and musicians performing before an audience of 100,000. Dancers performed skits heralding China's 5,000 years of history and invention while British soprano Sarah Brightman joined Chinese singer Liu Huan in singing the Olympic theme song. In attendance were more than 80 world leaders including U.S. President George W. Bush, Russian Prime Minister Vladmir Putin, and Chinese President Hu Jintao, as well as Microsoft founder Bill Gates, News Corp. mogul Rupert Murdoch, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon star Zhang Ziyi.
Beyond the fanfare and fireworks, the outcome of the Beijing Olympics—more than most previous Games—will have far reaching implications around the globe. A successful Games will help a newly confident China with its 1.3 billion people move more decisively toward economic openness and engagement with the world. Some believe a successful Olympics could spur a faster move toward political liberalization—much as the 1988 Seoul Olympics was seen as doing for South Korea. The Olympics too could highlight China's many economic and social achievements, helping overcome some of the misconceptions and fears about China's growing might still held by many in the world.
But a host of potential problems could also flare up and lead China in perhaps a different direction. The Beijing Games are opening with a lot of questions: Will the air magically clear (a gray pall hung over Beijing during the opening ceremony), or will pollution problems persist during the 16 days the Games run, hitting athletes hard? Will the inevitable protests, whether they be about Sudan, Tibet, or religious freedom, be dealt with calmly and create minimal disruption to the Games? Alternately, will the Chinese authorities use a more heavy-handed approach, inviting negative media attention from the 30,000 journalists come from around the world to cover the Olympics events? And will threats of terrorism remain just that—only threats—or might an actual damaging attack happen?
Growing Pride
Weighty questions. But already the Olympics has helped boost growing Chinese pride. A study by Ogilvy Group showed that 75% of Chinese say the Olympics makes them proud of their country. And an even greater 87% see the Olympics as an opportunity to help Chinese brands, including Olympic sponsors China Mobile and Lenovo, become more international. "Excitement among local Chinese has grown throughout the country. The new wave of enthusiasm is driven by national pride and patriotism for China serving as host of the Olympic Games," the report said.
If foreign protesters succeed in actually disrupting the Games, or drawing the world's attention away from the sports events themselves, however, that very likely would anger large numbers of Chinese. In their minds, protests would become a malicious effort to sabotage a time of great pride for China. And that could strengthen a Chinese nationalism sometimes defined most by a sense of victimization, and carefully cultivated through repeated references to the historical abuses suffered by China going back centuries. That less attractive variety of nationalism (BusinessWeek.com, 4/24/08) was already on display earlier this year following the unrest in Tibet.
So far at least, it looks as if Beijing is choosing a softer approach. That seemed to be the case earlier this week when Chinese police dealt with protesters supporting Tibetan independence outside the Bird's Nest national stadium, and with another group calling for more religious freedom for Christians that gathered in Tiananmen Square. According to an Aug. 5 Reuters news report, the Chinese police have been told to act with more restraint (BusinessWeek.com, 8/5/08) when confronting activists and not obstruct foreign journalists in their reporting.
Fears of Terrorism
The possibility of a terrorist attack during the Games has also become frighteningly real following a bus bombing in southwest China and a bloody attack on Aug. 4 in the western city of Kashgar, Xinjiang, that left 16 policemen dead. A video by an organization calling itself the Turkistan Islamic Party was released on Aug. 1 (this followed an earlier warning a week before) threatening attacks during the Olympics in retaliation for what it called China's "barbarism" toward its Muslims. "Do not stay on the same bus, on the same train, on the same plane, in the same buildings, or any place the Chinese are," a speaker with a face cover warned in the video, which also showed the Beijing Olympics logo in flames.
And while the likelihood of an attack in Beijing is slim, given the extensive security preparations by Chinese police and military, as well as a huge new security infrastructure (BusinessWeek.com, 8/7/08) mainly supplied by foreign companies, it is possible that a terrorist incident could occur elsewhere on the mainland. "The threat to the actual Olympic venues is assessed as medium to low," wrote Steve Vickers, president and CEO of Hong Kong-based International Risk in a note released just hours before the Games opened. However, "there is a genuine threat of terrorism in parts of the PRC; particularly those areas in close proximity to Xinjiang and to the border areas with Pakistan and Afghanistan."
Beyond the horrible human costs, a terrorist attack could also have an economic impact. If China decided to further tighten its restrictions on foreigners who want to live and do business on the mainland, that could begin to hurt the economy. Already new visa restrictions imposed in the runup to the Games have upset foreign companies and slowed the pace of doing business in China. A less open China could exacerbate conditions for an economy that is already showing signs of slowing (BusinessWeek.com, 8/7/08).
Of course, most people are hoping for a safe and successful Olympics, one that is not marred by any violent disruption and one in which China is able to show its best face to the world. That too could help nudge Beijing more quickly toward greater liberalization of a system that, many believe, still restricts political freedoms for its own people and limits its integration with the world. "China will be opening Olympicism to one-fifth of mankind: 1,300,000,000 people," said Jacques Rogge, president of the International Olympic Commission, at a press conference on Aug. 7, just one day before the Games opened. "The spotlight put by the Olympic Games on China will help both the world to understand China better and maybe for China to understand the world better."

By Olivia Barker and Arienne Thompson, USA TODAY
From Halle to J. Lo, Hollywood is in the midst of a major baby boom, and despite the swollen feet and expanding waistlines, stars are still strutting their stuff in an array of stylish maternity wear. Redbook fashion director Audrey Slater gives USA TODAY's Arienne Thompson the scoop on three expectant stars and their signature pregnancy styles.
These days, women don't want a little nine months, and 19-plus pounds, to get in the way of their style. To learn how to beautify a baby bump this spring, USA TODAY's Olivia Barker spoke with Jennifer Strom Simonte, the owner of Belly Dance Maternity, an online store and trio of boutiques in New York and Chicago.
Punchy prints
"Forget those winter doldrums," says Simonte. "Bright prints are a great way to celebrate the season, and your expanding belly."
Swingy shifts
Following the trends of the ready-to-wear market, the trapeze dress will continue to dominate. "They're hip, casual, comfortable and, most importantly, they're really cool to wear" during the warmer months, Simonte says.
Duplicitous diaper bags
Is it a tote? Is it a diaper bag? With today's versions, in bold graphics and understated black, no one will ever know. (Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt continue to pioneer in this category, Simonte says.)
Layerable leggings
Style scourge to some, leggings are a style savior to pregnant women, Simonte says, providing coverage when you're not quite keen on showing a lot of calf skin, without going to the great lengths of tights. Thanks to their stretchy DNA, "you can even wear your non-maternity leggings to the point where they don't fit anymore."
Designer denim
No matter that you'll ditch it faster than your toddler outgrows his overalls: The $150 jean has invaded the maternity market, too. As the weather warms, Simonte predicts that cutoff shorts from designers such as Juicy Couture will "fly off the shelves."

Oh, CIBC, I feel badly that you are apologizing. If you can't let off steam and be honest about your depressed feelings, I feel like I can't be frank either! I'm not expressing this terribly well. Maybe if I say it in reverse - if you (you personally or gy) feels safe enough here to let it all hang out and express your inner feelings, ecstatic or miserable, it kind of gives others permission to do the same.
I hope I am making sense. I do understand what you are saying, but I always feel this is a place where we can be ourselves, and not feel the pressure to fake it in any way. I have to fake it a lot with people - I don't want them to know how scared or sad or angry I am a lot of the time - but I don't fake it here. It's very hard and a chore to put on a happy act all the time. I have to pretend when I am on interviews and often I pretend with my family and friends so they won't be burdened. Here I can be me and it's a relief just to be me - frizz, warts and all.
Sending (((HUGS))) - and acceptance.
ETA the warts are psychological not physical

Msgt I bet you really disappointed them...maybe next time
This is a discussion on I did not draw my gun or shoot anyone today. within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; I was involved in a minor traffic accident today and contrary to the dire predications by the brady bunch, chucky schemer, diane finestiene and others ...
I was involved in a minor traffic accident today and contrary to the dire predications by the brady bunch, chucky schemer, diane finestiene and others neither I nor the other driver lept out with guns blazing. Instead we asked each others condition and while I called 911 he called his mother (very young guy) and she and his sister showed up later again no confrontation just someone concerned for the condition of her son. When the traffic investigator showed up I gave her my D/L and CCW she said thanks and handed my CCW back. While we were filling put the paperwork his mother did leave but returned with a couple of much appreciated bottles of cold water. After the paperwork was finished we both went our separate ways. Such a boring day and I probably disappointed the gun grabbers.

He asked where I was carrying, smiled and said "well as long as yours stays where it is, so does mine." Afterward we had a nice chat about how he likes citizens carrying, but doesn't really like the M&P I carry.
Just the way it should be.

You did it all wrong... You were supposed to hit a little old lady (struggling, and using a walker) crossing the street to get food for her hundred cats, while you were barreling along at an outrageous 300 miles over the limit while drunk. Once you hit her you were supposed to jump out, gun(s) blazing, shooting anything/anyone within sight. Then run from the police.
THAT is how you do it.
But, seriously, I'm glad nobody was hurt and nothing really bad happened.

A young man nearly died today, to say nothing of a retired serviceman... it could have been so tragic...

please sign up now to join me in ridding the country of these vile contraptions, fax your contributions to 18885555555, do it now, the sooner we can take action the better.
It could be worse!

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that states must look beyond an intelligence test score in borderline cases of mental disability to determine whether a death row inmate is eligible to be executed.
The justices said in a 5-4 decision that Florida and a handful of other states cannot rely solely on an IQ score above 70 to bar an inmate from claiming mental disability. Justice Anthony Kennedy said for the court that IQ tests have a margin of error and that inmates whose scores fall within the margin must be allowed to present other evidence of mental disability.

Middleweight Craig McEwan will be putting his perfect 17-0 (9KO) record on the line as he battles fellow undefeated fighter James Parison (12-0 3KO) as part of the undercard of the Golden Boy promoted card Saturday night in Quebec City featuring headliners Lucian Bute and Librado Andrade. The Scottish born southpaw has broken from the usual tradition of U.K. fighters who slowly build their careers through a series of regional titles including British, Commonwealth, European before hitting the world stage. Such recent names as Joe Calzaghe, Ricky Hatton and Carl Froch all took the route the Beatles did decades before of establishing themselves in England before venturing across the pond with world title belt in tow in an attempt to make it big in America.
McEwan had no interest in languishing in a landscape resembling a Scottish bog in an attempt to make a name for himself. "Back home it's just a slow process," said the Edinburg native who now calls Hollywood California his home base. "You just end up fighting journeymen, no one who is ever proven," said the former amateur star. "We had some interest with Frank Warren and some of the other promoters, but the whole thing just didn't interest me."
Instead McEwan decided to bolt immediately after his amateur career, much the same way two-time world champion Steve Collins did. But the Golden Boy promoted fighter who is trained by Freddie Roach has no intention on turning his back on his native Scotland. "I'm Scottish all the way, I've just come over here to better myself."
McEwan who helped Librado Andrade in his preparation for his fight Saturday night came to America on a holiday and has never turned back, seeking out Freddie Roach who provided an in with Golden Boy.
Saturday McEwan looks towards the match-up with Parison as his biggest to date. "It's my biggest fight, he's undefeated, I don't know much about him other than he's from the San Diego area, it's a long way to go to fight somebody who's close to me, but I go where they send me."

Notes: Morris' Minor outing eases minds
Notes: Morris' Minor outing eases minds
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Matt Morris didn't raise a fuss, but pitching coach Dave Righetti said that the right-hander felt taken aback when he was asked to appear Saturday in a Minor League exhibition, instead of in the team's Cactus League game against Colorado. "I think he thought everybody was panicking," Righetti said, referring to Morris' 16.20 ERA in three exhibition appearances. That ERA didn't go away, but some of the concern over Morris evaporated on a 100-degree afternoon as he threw five solid innings against a Milwaukee Brewers' Class A team.
Righetti explained that Morris' remaining in Scottsdale was a simple matter of veteran's privilege. "He's earned the right," Righetti said. Morris initially might have wished he had made the four-hour round-trip to Tucson. But after allowing two runs and three hits in the first inning -- mirroring his regular-season pattern -- Morris blanked the Brewers on one hit for the rest of his stint. He walked one and struck out two while throwing 62 pitches. "I felt strong enough to go another inning," Morris said. "Then again, you don't want to overexert yourself." This, too, was encouraging for Morris. Righetti said that Morris lost 15 to 18 pounds recently when numerous Giants were stricken by the flu, which weakened him considerably. "He's not going to make any excuses," Righetti said. "So I'm making them for him." Morris complained that he still lacks command of his fastball, a top priority for virtually every pitcher. "It's the first and last. It's the only thing, really," Morris said. "Everything else works off that." "He's got to have that pitch and he knows it," Righetti echoed, pointing out that Morris likes to tantalize right-handed batters with outside fastballs. Nevertheless, Morris thrived with his curveball, which helped him record nine ground-ball outs. "Something about it seems to be there," he said. Despite feeling less than sharp, Morris wouldn't mind beginning the regular season immediately.
"I wish my next start was up in San Francisco," he said. "My pitch count was 60, but I can throw 80 or 90, I'm sure. Spring Training tends to get stale a little bit, whether you're throwing great pitches or not. I want to compete and I want it to count right now." Briefly: Left-handers Barry Zito and Jonathan Sanchez threw off bullpen mounds. Following Morris' example, Zito likely will make his next appearance in a Minor League exhibition Tuesday while Russ Ortiz starts that day's exhibition against Texas. ... Righetti said that Sanchez continues to make up for lost time after the 24-year-old endured biceps tendintis. "His arm's in good shape. That's the biggest thing," Righetti said. "He's on his way now." ... Jason Ellison and Todd Linden rank among Cactus League leaders with 17 hits apiece. ... Omar Vizquel is batting .500 (8-for-16) in his last five games. Coming up: Expect manager Bruce Bochy to use as many players as possible in Sunday's exhibition against Kansas City in Scottsdale. The Giants have Monday off, so Bochy won't want anybody to get too stale. Left-handers Noah Lowry and Odalis Perez will start for San Francisco and Kansas City, respectively.

The Blogging Shrink Part II
I have to say, I never worry about my patients reading the blog. Which is not to say it's outside the realm of possibility---after all, prisoners use the Web to advertise for pen pals. Here's one who describes himself as:
"I'm a passionate, romantic, sincere friend who has ambitions and goals. I enjoy reading creative writings, studying the law, horseback riding, dining out, and going to museums. I like vacationing and taking romantic walks on the beach. Looking for pen pals..."(link not provided because I'm not trying to encourage this sort of thing)
Theoretically somebody could be printing out my posts every week and mailing them inside the walls to my patients. Frankly, if anybody actually went through that much trouble I'd be rather flattered. And then maybe a bit alarmed.
There are three reasons why inmates express curiosity about someone---for flattery, for intimidation or just out of boredom. They wonder where I'm from when my accent slips out ("Charm City, but not originally."), why I don't wear a wedding ring ("I don't bring jewelry into the institution.") and whether or not to wish me a happy Mother's Day ("Thank you."). Rarely I get a direct personal question, and then I just give a direct response: "I don't talk about myself in here. This is your time." They accept this.
I have run into my patients after release (their release, not mine. I don't see myself being released for quite some time). Usually they recognize me first since once they're out of the standard-issue too-big or too-small jeans and grey t-shirt they just don't look the same. Only once have I run into a former inmate who didn't acknowledge me or seem to recognize me, and I understood that. I doubt anybody would necessarily want a reminder of an unpleasant place.
So I really don't think about it too much. And honestly, when it comes to finding out about someone through the Internet they have a lot more to worry about than I do.

Frozen Frameby spheroid2006 (English | Miscellaneous Category | Miscellaneous Section | Miscellaneous Genre | A Slice of Life)
I haven't been around here as much as I did late last year, when I joined this board. No progressive stories or essays, nor any nice poems-- to boot! It could be that I have come to some point when quitting was better than doing empty works. Nothing changed at all, anyway. Paper awards about this or that have since made me rethink my stand. And the only way I can keep myself from this site is to actually avoid visiting. Except for today, of course.
But filipinowriterdotcom's newsletters resumed its trickle once more in my email address... showing me the latest excerpts submitted by old and new members. While it lasted, I kept to myself still. It's even getting harder to see humor where I'm at; unless, of course, I'll have to see strangers (in our neighborhood) in certain ways like: which cartoon character he/she reminded me of? Things have been flat since my last post, or whatever.
Or maybe because the common ones haven't been posting their own style of literature anymore! Like Witty Curves and Busy Churner... neither posted anything for quite a spell! Rip Dan Twinky though kept the irons hot and blazing with his whiplash blocks! An Orb like me cannot truly level up with those three, in spite of what I think I must have on my own set of keys here. But nevertheless, ours was quite The Trip!
In a frozen state, like time and its seconds... I have kept away from both paper & pen and my word processor program. No inspiration? Hardly, that. Like a frozen frame, the moment of enthusiasm has cooled down and so was someone's unseen smirks!

'12 Rubi (2dr) Lift Kit Options
I'm looking to lift my wife's JK. We settled in on the TeraFlex 2.5" spring/coil lift kit with the shock adapters. I'm looking at the Bilstein shocks, but not exactly sure yet.
I dont want to spend a zillion on the lift, we will be adding larger tires, front bumper/winch and rear bumper/tire carrier. So saving a few bucks here and there would help.
Anyone have any suggestions?

If you bought the kit with shock adapters and don,t want to spend a zillion dollars just use your stock shocks. I put the same kit on my rubicon and used my stock shocks works fine.when you put the bump stops and extensions on the stock length seems fine, even when disconnected.
If you pony up for the 9550 shocks you will not be disappointed. On the street they rode better than my fox 2.0's.

Can I give another option ?
Rancho XL 9000 are the way to go, they are adjustable from 1-soft to 9 off road stiff. And because it's your wife's all the more reason to go with them.
After I went Rancho xl9000 3 of my buddies have also changed there shocks to them. mine is also 2.5 inches.
My wife isn't so much concerned with ride "comfort" - more concerned with a good off road performance and acceptable on road...
Teraflex 2.5 with adapters is the way to go if you have Rubicon shocks...... We did this to 4 of our Jeeps to start out with and you do not need any other shocks for a long time to come. You will be a happy camper.....unless you really want to toss your money around. Here are 2 of our Jeeps with the 2.5". Both have 35" BFG KM2's

js my Dogs Name is Duncan Too!! That's Crazy!!
He's a Full Blood Red Dachshund aka HotDog & Goes by The Name Mr. Duncan..
He's also my Best Buddy!!
Mr. Duncan World Greatest Dog!!
Ok, So why would I want to add a "Pets" section to a gun forum...? Well, why not? Anyway, Here's my best friend "Duncan" He's 100% Golden Retriever.
Duncan is a "semi-therapy" dog. He's not fully certified yet. We go around to a few nursing homes and to one hospital in my area to do therapy work about once a month, mostly child related cancer therapy at the hospital. I'm hoping to have him fully certified by spring.
His favorite past time and current hobbies include...
Fetch with a stick, Fetch with a ball, Fetch with the newspaper, Fetch with my daughter's pocket book, Fetch with a pair of gloves, Fetch with my briefcase, Fetch with my shoes, Fetch with anyone's shoes, Fetch with a pine cone, Fetch with a.....well, Did I mention he's a retriever...
js my Dogs Name is Duncan Too!! That's Crazy!!
He's a Full Blood Red Dachshund aka HotDog & Goes by The Name Mr. Duncan..

Mr. Duncan World Greatest Dog!!
This is 1 of my dogs - Tripp - an Australian Shepherd...
(had to change photo,other was to big)
My families dog, Sparky. He lives with my mom, who is about 700 miles away from me, I miss him. Currently, I have no pets. Sparky appears to be a full-blooded border-collie, and he has been a member of the family for about 6-7 years now. One day, my parents went to the vet, and while there the vet had brought in the dog who had been roaming on a busy highway in the area. The vet coudn't take Sparky as he already had 2-3 dogs at home, so Sparky became a member of my family. His actual age is not known, but he was full grown when he entered the family.
Later on in his life, Sparky was hit by a car and had to have quite a bit of metal put into his rear end, and a few screws and pins added to one of his front legs. Despite the metal in the dog (and his age), he is still as energetic as the day I met him, and he loves to catch tennis balls.
This is Badass Billy
lost all the pix in my last move but my last dog(doberman) was killed while changing hobbies .She used to chase parked cars(you know,woof woof woof thump,repeat process)But didnt realize the moving ones hurt worse.Sure miss her , Used to laugh till my stomach hurt at the level of stupidity she would stoop to.
Hey, we have a border collie too...
His name is Oobie (like "Boobie" w/o a "B")
This is Dash the Dashund. His is 4 years old but thinks he is 4 months old.
This is Scout he is a 4 month old Blood hound. I brought him home at 10 weeks old and 8 lbs. at 15 weeks old he is now 40 lbs.

Christina Ricci Covers Manhattan's 3rd Anniversary Issue
Glamming up the publication's 3rd anniversary issue, Christina Ricci covers Manhattan magazine's September/October 2011 installment.
The 31-year-old actress dolled up in a black Giambattista Valli frock for her Warwick Saint shot spread while talking about working with "Twilight" hunk Robert Pattinson, the roles she played as a child and "Pan Am' and 'Mad Men" comparisons.
Highlights from Miss Ricci's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to visit Manhattan magazine!
On working with Robert Pattinson:
"He's great; he's really an awesome guy. I had a lot of fun working with him. He's so professional. He comes to set with no expectations or attitude. None of those things you worry someone of his level of fame is going to have."
On the roles she played as a child:
"I loved playing the roles that I did as a child. I've always been quite happy with the identity they've given me as long as people don't take that too literally. I think they gave me a great depth of position as an actress from which to start my adult career."
On comparisons between her new show "Pan Am" and the AMC hit series "Mad Men":
"It's a great comparison to get; Mad Men is a great show and I'm a huge fan. But that does focus more on a man's experience of that time period and this is much more about these women. These were really women who were taking control of their lives and living in a very feminist kind of way. They weren't the average women."

I need a fresh start.
I started CGing about 2 years ago with amazing results. Then I got lazy, and poor. I still use NoPoo and One C every other day (sometimes a few days in a row depending on my gym sweat). I've still been using Angell but it seems as if if has been more watery the past few months. ? Arc Angell doesn't work for me, too stiff.
I never did spend enough time getting into it all to make a multi-product routine or find out what ingredients did good or bad on my hair. Although, I did want to learn all that, I just didn't have time.
Now my hair is kinda stringy and much drier than when I began. I am having split ends within days of a trim and my hair snaps like spaghetti all day.
What are some good products (CG friendly) to start with? I used Jessicurl products once with bad results. So we will stay away from that.
Anything helps! Thanks fellow curlies!
Edited due to a cyberstalker. Sorry, guys. :(

theman19 replied to theman19's topic in GeneralYeah, more or less. The year he was claimed he did very well on a line with J.staal. He did okay the next year, then just hasn't stuck this year. Was a healthy scratch most nights.

You know what makes me incredibly sad? A couple years ago I would have laughed. Today I'm hit with the sobering truth that Carolina is far better equipped for the future than we are.

I live in raleigh. Today Ron Francis gets on talk radio to talk about the canes. He said his management team had "banged on the table for frk since last year". That's a direct quote. Why did we lose him for nothing again?
theman19 posted a topic in Other SportsI was going through my childhood things when I discovered a beat up baseball with lots of signatures. Curios I did some digging.

theman19 replied to Dabura's topic in GeneralFor many many years we were one scoring winger away from the cup. We got it in Franzen for '08, cup and almost another. I agree with NHL.com, one right handed D man who can take some of the load of Kronner and we'll be in serious contention. The health of Weiss is pivotal. A healthy Weiss presents some serious match up issues for clubs. Really we need another Franzen kinda situation,.......we need a guy like oulette or sproul or hell even smith to come out of no where and hit next level. Achieve a ceiling none of us thought possible.
theman19 replied to TheDetroitRedWings's topic in GeneralAnyone else think a trade involving GR prospects are coming? We've signed a lot of these guys lately.
theman19 posted a topic in GeneralAfter strikes one, two, three and evidently four and Hollands comments that "there are some goods deals to be had " I wonder if we're not done with FA. This is helpful:http://www.capgeek.com/ufa-finder/ Doesn't look like there's anything on D that would help us honestly. I could see holland signing Salo or Morris. I'm much more interested in what's out there for forwards, but we have a glutton of those honestly.
theman19 replied to FlashyG's topic in GeneralI would like to thank Mr. Nyquist for almost single handily helping me win my Fantasy league over a penguins fan with Malkin's name in his username. Feels good folks.

As for those that have already succumbed from the heavy downpours this week (3" total) and high winds (steady 25 mph with gusts over 50), it's time to say so long.
My compost bins won't handle all this stuff, so I had to resort to something a little bigger than my hatchback to take the excess to the county compost site.
Ah, that's the ticket.
First thing in - that sorry roselle shrub. Even in the garage, it didn't like the below 45F temps, so there was no way was it going to bloom. The growing season here in NE Ohio just won't allow the plant to mature. Darn.
The winds pretty much mowed down the 2 driveway zin beds, so they got cleaned up first. The zins were yanked and then I came back and pulled up all the weeds and ground ivy. (The weeds and ivy I'll use in my compost - I use the greens to cover my winter kitchen scraps.) Both zin beds are ready for leaves.
I figured the veg bed would be another 1st day project. I pulled all the pepper plants.
That leaves only 3 kinds of kale, the rhubarb, and several perennial flowers back there. Obviously I'll have to do some weeding before I lay on the leaves.
After several hours, it was time to call it quits. The roselle has lots of company now.
About the last thing I did was cut what little parsley there was in the 2 pots by the glider (flat leaf parsley doesn't do well in pots), and a generous bunch of rosemary. The parsley would take a frost, even a freeze, but the rosemary is much too tender. So I'll freeze the parsley and dry the rosemary. I'll also sprout new plants for next year since rooting them in water worked so well last year.
And I want to leave you with this pic:
Here's the very last 2 blooms on the H.F.Young clematis. This was the first planting project this year and what a terrific result, with almost non-stop flowers all season. What a show!

i wish i had sympathy for those whose spots were taken away by a guide with cash-welcome to a capitalist country. that is how it works. know why i dont own 500 acres? cant afford it. why do i have a kayak? cant afford a boat.
look, no birds has everyone testy this year. i would love to see a DHC happy hour at the end of this season.

I encourage guys to get out and try duck hunting, its a fun sport and I know I have killed birds because other hunters keep them moving. I actually bank on that as a tactic in some public areas. My purpose behind this post is I just wanted to encourage everyone on here to be more vague with locations, even on puclic land. I know on the bay more boat traffic keeps the ducks moving which is great. But as far as the smaller locations like towns or certain ponds or stretches of the upper potomac on public areas, you are letting the lazy guys get the fun. I take youth hunters out as often as I can but I stress to them the art of scouting. I'm not against new hunters getting out and getting on birds, that's not my intention with this post. I absolutely am against lazy hunters that will not go out and scout for themselves. If you can't get in your truck and put some miles on which is a simple task, what else are you being lazy about? Blind stubbling, putting time into learning to call, making good shots? I'm not saying I'm perfect, and I had to start somewhere just like everyone else, but being lazy or not at least trying on those items does nothing more than educate birds. Don't encourage lazyness by letting lazy hunters have information. Those sorts I will admit I would like to see leave the sport, they are making it harder on the guys that scout and work hard for our birds. I hope I don't get torn apart for this post but I hope you guys see where I'm coming from
