The red and yellow striped tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) fill a sandwich or a salad with their tart-sweet flavor, making them a gardener's favorite. "Mr. Stripey" is an indeterminate, beefsteak-style, heirloom tomato developed in the 1800s in Virginia. Grown as annuals in the vegetable garden, tomatoes are actually tender perennials that can overwinter in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 10 through 11.
Preparing the Garden
Select a sunny, sheltered location in the garden that receives eight hours or more of sunlight daily. Prepare the soil by digging in 2 to 3 inches of compost to a depth of 1 foot. Seven to 10 days before planting the seedlings, place black plastic sheeting over the garden soil to warm it.
Before planting the tomatoes, cut a series of holes into the plastic sheeting, spaced 18 to 24 inches apart. Dig a hole for a seedling at each opening, making it deep enough that only the top set of leaves appear above the soil. Cover the lower stem and leaves with soil, gently tamping to remove air pockets. Add a stake or tomato cage for each plant.
Water and Fertilizer
Water the seedlings thoroughly after planting, then continue to water when the soil is dry to the depth of 2 to 3 inches. Keep a consistent level of moisture through the growing season, as "Mr. Stripey" tomatoes are prone to cracking if the soil dries out and then receives too much water. In general, apply 1 inch of water per week, or 5 gallons for every square yard of soil. When the weather warms, remove the black plastic and cover the soil with mulch to slow evaporation of water from the soil.
The compost provides the first nutrients for the seedlings, but when the tomatoes develop to golf ball size, add 1 tablespoon of a 10-10-10 fertilizer to each plant after watering, scratching it into the top 1 to 2 inches of soil. Repeat fertilizing three and six weeks later. Organic gardeners may prefer to water weekly with 1 cup of compost tea per plant.
Pests and Problems
Monitor the tomato plants for pests. Tomato hornworms (Manduca quinquemaculata) can decimate the leaves, flowers and developing fruit. While you can spray with a ready-to-use Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) product, hornworms are easy to hand-pick from the tomato plants. Put on gloves and look carefully down the tomato stem where the leaves have been chewed to stumps. Pick the green hornworm off the stem and drop it into a bucket of soapy water to drown.
Blossom end rot and sunscald are mostly due to environmental factors. Maintaining a consistent level of moisture in the soil by regularly watering and adding a layer of organic mulch helps reduce blossom end rot. Remove affected fruits and dispose of them as soon as possible. Prevent sunscald on "Mr. Stripey" by providing afternoon shade when the weather is hot and dry. Shade cloth or a white sheet draped over bamboo stakes protect the tender skin of the developing fruits from the sun.
The Harvest
Harvest "Mr. Stripey" tomatoes approximately 80 days after transplanting into the garden. The large fruits ripen to reddish-orange with yellow stripes. If the fruits developed cracks, harvest, cut the damaged area out and use the tomato immediately. The harvest time and mature size of your heirloom fruits may vary according to local conditions and your supplier. Because "Mr. Stripey" is an heirloom, open-pollinated tomato, there are some variations between seed suppliers.

Traveling takes much planning and preparation, particularly when you have children. Whether you're flying in the air or traveling on the road, it's important that your trip is properly planned and kid-proof. No one wants to be that parent who's embarrassed because their child has a temper tantrum - it makes the trip that much more uncomfortable.
Luckily, traveling with your family doesn't have to feel like a war zone. There are things you can do to ensure that everyone is satisfied and that your family enjoys the ride along the way.
Here are a few children-friendly tips to keep in mind as you prepare for your holiday travels:
Snacks - The way to any child's heart is candy and junk food. While you should certainly pack the usual - sandwiches, fruits and juice - be sure to stock up on some treats. They keep them satisfied and it gives them a little boost to endure the ride.
Music - Be sure to bring a little music for the ride. Ideally, you'd want to get a portable player, so that you're not forced listening to Elmo songs the entire ride to your destination.
Portable Potty - If you're traveling by car, you want to invest in a portable potty container. It's no secret that kids can't seem to hold their water; therefore, to save time stopping every half hour, you can use the container and dump it once filled to capacity. It's sure to cut a lot of time on the road.
iPad/Tablets - The great thing about technology is that you have the world at your fingertips. If you have an iPad or tablet, you can download TV shows, movies, audio books, and the likes, to keep your children engaged. Instead of asking you, "Are we there yet?" every so often; they won't even notice how long the trip is.
Pillows and Blankets - If you're traveling by air, take into consideration that the airline may be short on pillows and blankets. The more comfortable everyone is, the better. In a perfect world they'll sleep the entire way.
Pack Smart - When you're traveling with kids you need to have as many free hands as possible. Rather than packing the traditional luggage back or carry on, consider traveling with backpacks. It allows you to be more accessible should you need a free hand or two. We all know how quick kids can be.

There seems to be a lot of negative press about gamers and their lifestyles. Some people claim that gaming isn't very good for you, and it can ensure you lose touch with reality. For the most part, those that make these claims have never ventured into the world of gaming, or they have, and they decided it wasn't for them.
The world of gaming can be a very exciting one, and these days it can even help you to communicate with people all over the world. Although I'm not as much of a gamer as I used to be, I know for a fact that it can make life more of an adventure.
Life can be better when you game
It doesn't matter what kind of game you play, life can seem a lot more fun and interesting if you spend some time fighting zombies, killing dragons, or simply trying to solve a puzzle. This is because it can add something different to your day, especially if you're bored and you're not sure what to do. Alternatively gaming can help to add a bit of excitement to your life, if that is what you're looking for.
I used to use gaming as a means of escapism when life was pretty hard. Not only did it help me to forget my troubles for a while, but through gaming, I was able to meet and make friends with like-minded people. These people are still my friends many years later, so anyone who say is gaming is bad for you, doesn't know the full story.
Can you find excitement elsewhere?
The fact of the matter is, you can. I now get a lot of excitement from going on Yurt Holidays, doing a spot of climbing from time to time, and meeting up with my friends. However, this excitement does not stop me from gaming now and again, as it's something I just love to do.
Using the skills you learn from gaming
Apparently the following is true: While straying onto a wood in Norway with his sister, a young boy was confronted by a moose. The moose was going to attack, but the boy protected his sister and himself, by using skills that he had learned in a mass media online role playing game. This just goes to show that some skills can be translated and used in real life.
So what did the boy do? He taunted the moose to protect his sibling, so the moose would leave his sister alone. Then, they both played dead, and the moose got bored and left. These skills that the boy learned gaming, ultimately save the life of his sister, and his too. This just goes to show that perhaps there's a lot more to the world of gaming than we think.
I'm pretty confident that if there was a zombie apocalypse, my younger brother would have no trouble blasting them away. I'm also confident that he would know where to hide, and when to run. I know a zombie apocalypse is unlikely to occur, but that doesn't mean his skills cannot be used elsewhere.
The world of gaming really can make life a lot more exciting, so why not give it a go and see what it does for you?

Parish-appointed boards are being asked to submit meeting dates, agendas, minutes and financial records to the council.
Parish-appointed boards are being asked to submit meeting dates, agendas, minutes and financial records to the council.
The request came in early April from Councilman John Navy after several issues came to light on various boards. The vote was 8-1 with Pete Lambert the only member to vote against the proposal.
"The council needs to be a little more informed. We're supposed to be a team. So as a part of that team effort the council members need to know what's going on with these boards," Navy said.
Although Navy said it isn't the sole reason, one issue impacting his district was the change of an agreement between the Houma and Village East fire departments.
The partnership aimed to ensure that help gets to where it is needed as quickly as possible. For instance, Houma firefighters are stationed closer to some neighborhoods within Village East's jurisdiction. In those cases, the agreement called for 911 to dispatch both departments automatically.
Village East Fire Chief Herbert Fitch sent a letter to Terrebonne's 911 agency in February instructing 911 to page Houma to fires and emergencies only when he or his chief officer in charge asks for the help.
Sources within both departments said the action came after a Houma firefighter posted Facebook comments criticizing Fitch's handling of a fire. Fitch acknowledged the online post irked him but denies it prompted his letter, adding that the issue has been long-standing between the two departments.
Council members say they don't want to find out about such issues too late.
Navy wants to be able to tell his constituents the details of happenings within any parish-appointed board, he said.
Part of the problem is that most board meetings are on the same days as the parish council meetings, Councilman Greg Hood said.
"Constituents call me and say 'hey what's the fire department doing?' I have no idea. I can't attend their meetings because I have my meetings I have to attend," Hood said at a Policy, Procedure and Legal Committee meeting in April.
The parish council appoints all members of the various boards throughout the year. Hood said he's concerned about the council having that responsibility but not being able to make informed decisions. "We have no way to sit here and say we're going to reappoint a person because they're doing the right thing," he said.
Hood asked Parish Attorney Courtney Alcock if there is a way the council could require the boards to submit the information.
Alcock suggested the council make formal requests to each board. She said she's sure the boards wouldn't mind providing it, but to her knowledge, no council had ever made it a requirement. Once boards are appointed by the council they become separate political subdivisions, Alcock said. The council has the ability to dissolve the boards, remove members with just cause and do some budgeting oversight, but it cannot require documentation submission.
Terrebonne's Chief Financial Officer Jamie Elfert said each board is already in compliance with parish law that requires them to submit annual financial reports.
"We do receive a copy of their audited financial statements every year. They're pretty good about that. I have every one of them," Elfert said.
Councilman Danny Babin said he is against forcing the boards to comply but would like for them to do so.
"We have to protect our constituents," he said during the April meeting.
Babin said he doesn't want the council to micromanage but wants himself and the other council members to have some responsibility of knowing board information.
"I see no reason why a board would have any problem with it," Babin said.
The Grand Caillou Fire Department, in Babin's district, has also experienced recent turmoil. There are accusations leveled against the department's chief, who was indicted last month on a sexual-battery charge.
The charge that Michael Deroche Sr., 61, faces stems from allegations of performing inappropriate acts on a community service worker at one of the fire stations in June.
Deroche has denied the allegations, though the district board placed him on paid leave following his indictment.
Babin said although the council may not be able to help or intervene in situations like that, council members should still be aware of them. He said asking the board to turn in meeting information would only help such a case if it is addressed on the agenda. But he thinks it would be a benefit.
"I think Mr. Navy was after us fostering a good relationship between the boards and the council. We can stay out of day-to-day business but still know what's going on so we can better help," Babin said.
The chairman of another fire district board said he doesn't mind the council's request.
"We already have to publish it in the paper for the public. I like it," said Jeff Teuton, Bayou Cane Fire District Board chairman. "I've got to tell you that I've found the new council is really interested in what's going on in the parish, and this is one way they're doing it. It's not a bad idea."

Marian Gaborik
With the amount of flak Richards and Torts are getting right now i find it a little odd that Gaborik isn't being mentioned much at all, 3 points in his last 10 games to me just isn't cutting it. Richards is getting ripped for not playing like his salary indicates, while Gaboriks getting paid 7.5 mill to be an elite, game changing threat, that aside from the better part of two games this years hes been the furthest thing from. Specifically watching him during the snoozefest last night he looked disinterested, if there was a word for doing less then coasting i would use it but i cant think of one, the last 10 games or so hes been skating around watching while other guys work the boards expecting someone to put the puck right on his stick for him to take a shot. He was dominant in the Boston game, he was a threat out there, his presence opened up the ice for other guys because defense men were constantly looking for him to do something with the puck, and despite having chara draped over him for the entire game still used his speed, and keen puck sense to get around the defense and put himself in positions to score. If he gave us half a period of that effort last night i think it would have been a totally different game, however to me he just refuses to break a sweat to be a game changer and would rather just wait it out for opportunities that in recent games just haven't been coming.
Also i think a big part of Richards playing like **** and not creating offense is playing with a lackadaisical Gaborik lately, last year gaborik was putting himself in positions for richards to feed him, and then using his world class shot to take advantage of those oppurtunites, cant say ive seen much of that from him thus far this season.
as has been said numerous times in this forum, Gaborik is the kind of player that is supposed to be invisible, quitely get into a scoring area then be noticed when its too late. hopefully as the puck is crossing the goal line. hes not a Nash type player that holds onto the puck and draws defenders towards him. Gaborik tries to avoid them. hence the "floating" moe towards the scoring areas. some games it works out better than others...hence your Boston example. he always has been a streaky scorer, with a good statistical season/bad statistical season rotation throughout his entire career. is he worth his salary? hard for me to say. someone seems to think so, or else he wouldnt be playing.
i understand hes supposed to be invisible and i get that he can float some of the time waiting for oppurtunity, but those opportunities aren't coming and hes not doing anything to change that, for example we did the usual dump in yesterday and he just stood there while callahan got mauled by three guys along the boards, we lost the puck and gaborik coasted back to the bench, to me thats a problem. in some cases he needs to go into the dirty areas and help out
i wont argue there. going to the dirty areas would certainly help out, but have you seen him in those areas?! hes almost useless. he gets knocked away from the puck, knocked down or he gets in his teammates way. he should stay out of the way and float in the scoring areas if you ask me.
Gaborik is a very streaky player. Fustrating I agree , but you just have to wait for him to get hot again
Yeah I'll agree that he hasn't looked that good this year, and a lot of the times he's had shots in the slot he's waited too long and it gets blocked, or he shoots it right in the goalie's chest. Very frustrating when our premier sniper gets chances like that and doesn't even make the goalie need to work.
While he hasn't been racking up the points, he's still got 11 points and 7 goals, so I think he'll be fine. Like the poster above said, he's streaky so I wouldn't be surprised if he had a 3 point game tomorrow night.
Gabby had a bad game (maybe because he was playing with Cally and figured he could "relax" a little) and the Rangers themselves didn't play that well. Very boring, slow game. We'll bounce back and Gabby will be a reason why.
haha here we go...
I killed Stepan and Richards... I don't have it in me for another one. No more negativity from me (at least for 24 hours).
Gabby will be fine. Or, you know, he won't, and we'll miss the playoffs. haha
Wait, doesn't Gabs do the "1 on/1 off" year thing. Pretty sure this is due to be an off year for him.
If leading the team with 7 goals (38 goal pace in 82 game season) and 3 game winners (tied for 2nd in the league) is an off year, ill take it.
And I thought he played pretty well last game.
He relies on being "forgotten" about to be effective. Thats his game. Should we sticky this?
If everyone just understands that basic fact about him, 90% of the flak goes away.
No, I actually think its Richards. It has nothing to do with Gaborik. Richards can play with anyone, its himself whos making the **** passes. His carelessness and giveaways are one of the reasons why hes been subpar this year.
What if it's actually Richards who is making Gaborik float more than usual because Marian knows in the back of his head, that poor Brad can't complete a tape to tape pass through traffic anymore. Richards just got BODIED by a tiny midget in Plekanec and Deshernais/Gallagher last night. That's hard to forget. Seeing your #1 center hold onto the puck too long and get out muscled by a 175 lb soaking wet guy who is about 5'9".
If I was Gaborik, personally, I wouldn't trust that guy to feed me passes all night anymore. I would hang back a little more than usual just in case he screws up in the O-zone next time, and gives up yet ANOTHER breakaway. ( Oh and the worst part is Gaborik can actually backcheck and catch up to 85% of players on a break, poor Brad can't even cross the blue line when the shooter is already in on Hank)
Think about that for a moment. We are missing communication out on the ice. Torts is telling them to grind and dump, but it looks to me like he is forgetting to tell them to communicate with each other and provide SUPPORT on the puck. They need to start supporting each other and know in the back of their heads that my line-mate/ D-man has my back if I take this risk. So far, no cigar boys.
Does it seem like Gabby has lost a little confidence in his wrister since his injury last year? He still has the quick release but it seems to be that most of his goals come from right in front as opposed to streaking down the wing and burying one past the goalie.
I don't think Gabby has played that well but I've actually been impressed with how many times he has put himself in good positions for rebounds, tips and finishing chances out in front of the net. For such a soft guy he does an excellent job at putting away garbage.
Against Washington I think he could have had 2-3 goals quite easily if for a bit better finishing and Holtby not standing on his head.
I am not happy with Gaborik's game... Far too frequently he is a non-factor when he's on the ice. It's not just the points that I care about, I want to see him playing effectively & consistently.
He scores in big bunches. He's practically invisible even when he does score..
Ihave been saying this for a while now. Think we trade him at the Draft to recoup the 1st moved for Nash, add a prospect or two and gain some much needed financial flexibility to make life easier to resign our RFA's this summer and also try to find a cheaper LW option as Nash seems to have slotted in nicely on the RW with Hags and Stepan.
Could it also be it's a shortened season and every game means more so each game has tighter checking therefore Gáborík is invisible? When the going gets tough, Gáborík doesn't get his hands dirty and stays out of the dirty areas.
His shot has not looked the same this year, IMO.
No. No and NO. The only reason Gabby is being criticized is because he isn't as noticeable as Nash. But he has produced more than Nash or any one else on the Rangers for that matter. As long as he does I frankly don't give a ****.
He's being criticised because he has 3 points in 8 games in February.
He's being criticised because he's amassed his point totals in just 5 of the teams 15 games.
I would rather he spread those totals out over the 15 games and be a factor on a regular basis as opposed what is an average of 1 showing every 3 games.
He's paid to be a factor nightly. If he's not a factor nightly, then he is not doing his job.
I like Gaborik, think teams need snipers like him. But I would MUCH rather prefer him to have scored his goals more evenly as opposed to scoring in just 4 out of 15 games.
"Stats stats stats" is the only defense for Gaborik, and there's flaws in that as well. As you pointed out.
I'd disagree that Gaborik is invisible. He's very noticeable. Noticeably lazy. He refuses to move his feet, at all. No second effort. No back check. He's stationary on the power play.
How many times does his coach need to allude to all of this before the player gets it.
Four of his 7 goals and 7 of his 11pts are against TOR and NYI again... He has points in 5 of 15 games.
I am not happy with his game. I don't think, for what he is paid, he is a consistent enough presence on the ice. If he is not scoring, he is doing nothing.
The "sneaky" argument is silly, IMO. The game is played in an enclosed, small environment.
He's lazy. Disengaged. Disinterested. He's shown up for two games this season. 2g-2a in the rest of the 14 games.
7.5 million.
Then you have a player like Hagelin, who never stops, scored 10 points in his last 8 games, plays in all situations.
Honestly if things don't turn around, and this season ends up as kind of a waste... I do everything I can to move Gabs and Richards.
Can you imagine if we had all of that money available? It wouldn't suck.

Children are supposed to be the future so if they stop being funny little weirdos there's a problem. [via buzzfeed]
22 Hilarious Tweets About Kids
17 responses to 22 Hilarious Tweets About Kids
Okay, I've seen the family photo one before, and I'm still at a loss in trying to understand how something like that can happen. Why did the photographer still take the picture, and why is the family not reacting at all? Either that little girl is the world's stealthiest ninja, or the family invited her to pose with them after she wandered over.
I just can't envision a situation in which the kid jumps in front of the camera and strikes a flawless pose at the exact moment that the photographer is clicking the shutter, and before any of the other three people have the time to say, "Who in the Hell is this??"
Wait, I'm still hung up on this.
The question of how it happens is one thing, but I have a whole other set of questions about what happens after the fact. Which family gets the prints of that image? In this age of tremendous paranoia, I suspect that a lot of people would have a serious problem with a random family taking home pictures of their small child. But provided that they and the studio are cool with it, I would personally love to have a family photo on my wall that includes a random black girl. I'd make up stories about it every time someone came over.
"Yeah, that was our adopted daughter. We didn't get buyer's remorse until after family photo day, but we sent her back like a month later."
Conversely, if I was that girl's parent I'd take similar pleasure in fielding questions about the three random white people standing behind her.
"Susy lived with the Feldmans for about eight months when she was in kindergarten. They needed an extra dependent on that year's taxes, and we figured it would be a good learning experience since she was enrolling in an all-white elementary school."
Haha, have you never met a cute little kid before? They are very good at charming their way into things.
Here how I imagine it went down.
The family was taking pictures as normal when the little girl just came up and asked to be in the picture. Kids are not shy and I can definitely see her just walking up and saying "I wanna join". She's so cute there's no way the family would say no, so they all laugh and say "okay sweetie, just one" and took the picture as a throw away to make the cute kid happy. Then when her family found her they were probably embarrassed at their kid for bothering the other family, but the other family would insist it was not a bother which may have led to some very cute bonding over "when our girl was that age" stories and they all had a good laugh at the cute photo that got taken.
I like to think that the photographer got them both a copy of the picture and they both have it hanging on their walls to this day.
Also I think if the family was tremendously paranoid the kid probably wouldn't have wondered off in the first place. Sure kids that age are sneaky, but if the parents really were that crazy that they wouldn't let a family have a picture of themselves just because their kid was in it then they'd probably have been on a tighter leash. They're probably just an normal family who thinks this is a funny story.
If I were the white family, I'd hang the photo prominently and just act like everyone questioning it is nuts. If I were the black family, I'd tell everyone the girl is adopted, and that photo is her with her birth family.
You are the hero this country needs
How it could happen ? Girl ran over and took a pose. Why thephotographer still took the pic ? Because this situation was cute and funny as smeg. Why the family is not reacting ? If you look closely you see they reacted with an even bigger smile than they had before. Some people funnily enough don't react to the cutest situation with outrage and shock and imagine both families wanted a copy of this pic. I know i would have.
You're assuming she photobombed it. Perhaps the little girl walked up and said she wanted to be in the picture and she was so adorable that the family was like, come on! And the photographer thought it was hilarious and cute so he took the picture. Then the girl's family got her back and did their own pictures and the other family proceeded to take theirs sans little girl.
Both families probably noticed it almost immediately, but took the picture for fun. The photographer might've even done it for free just for fun. The few times I've taken family portraits, we had a lot of crappy photos and a few good ones and weren't charged for the crappy ones. You have to admit, it's pretty adorable.
Why do people seem to be misunderstanding my comment? You're all telling me that the family probably allowed her to join the picture, which is exactly what I said in my original comment. I'm not assuming that she photobombed the shot; I'm saying that's what's implied by the language of the post, where the guy says she "sneaked off and jumped into" another family's picture. I know that's almost certainly not what literally happened. I just think it's funny to imagine that she teleported into the frame without anyone noticing. I rant and over-think things for humorous effect. You know humor? That thing we're all here for?
I can see how it was done. This happened with my friend's child. We were all boarding a cruise ship. They take a pic of you as you board. Not everyone opts for it. Others are standing in line to book excursions, get info, etc. Friends were looking at dinner options and their daughter ran and jumped in another couple's pic. They laughed and let it happen. Photog took pic and all of the pictures are posted later in the week.
"I rant and over-think things for humorous effect."
Well, you're not doing a very good job of it, seeing as no one got that you were trying to be funny.

I'm hoping the kid with no doorknob is just young and not a complete idiot. Because all he would have to do is stick his finger in and pull the slide to the side and voila…the door is open.

Text-to-speech (TTS) is an assistive technology that reads digital text aloud. It's sometimes called "read aloud" technology.
With a click of a button or the touch of a finger, TTS can take words on a computer or other digital device and convert them into audio. TTS is very helpful for kids who struggle with reading. But it can also help kids with writing and editing, and even focusing.
TTS works with nearly every personal digital device, including computers, smartphones and tablets. All kinds of text files can be read aloud, including Word and Pages documents. Even online web pages can be read aloud.
The voice in TTS is computer-generated, and reading speed can usually be sped up or slowed down. Voice quality varies, but some voices sound human. There are even computer-generated voices that sound like children speaking.
Many TTS tools highlight words as they are read aloud. This allows kids to see text and hear it at the same time.
Some TTS tools also have a technology called optical character recognition (OCR). OCR allows TTS tools to read text aloud from images. For example, your child could take a photo of a street sign and have the words on the sign turned into audio.
Print materials in the classroom—like books and handouts—can create obstacles for kids with reading issues. That's because some kids struggle with decoding and understanding printed words on the page. Using digital text with TTS helps remove these barriers.

And since TTS lets kids both see and hear text when reading, it creates a multisensory reading experience. Researchers have found that the combination of seeing and hearing text when reading:
Like audiobooks, TTS won't slow down the development of your child's reading skills.
Depending on the device your child uses, there are many different TTS tools:
It's a good idea to start the conversation with your child's teacher if you think your child would benefit from TTS. If your child has an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or a 504 plan, your child has a right to the assistive technology she needs to learn. But even without an IEP or a 504 plan, a school may be willing to provide TTS if it can help your child.
You can also use TTS at home. Try one of the tools above, or check out options for free audiobooks and digital TTS books. And learn more about assistive technology for reading.

Author | Sumita Patra | Tuesday, Nov 29,2005 8:36 AM
After Madhya Pradesh, it's now the turn of Himachal Pradesh to see some action from the Hindi newspapers, and Dharamsala seems to be the hot favourite of media houses.
Dharamsala, which already has players like Divya Himachal, Punjab Kesari, and the recently-launched Dainik Jagran, will now have see Amar Ujala entering the fray.
Amar Ujala, which so far has been catering to Himachal Pradesh through Jalandhar and Chandigarh editions, will now be making its presence felt in Dharamsala by coming out with its Dharamsala edition on December 8. Districts like Kangra, Mandi, Chamba, Kullu and Hamirpur will be covered through this edition.
Varun Kohli, Business Head, National Marketing, Amar Ujala attributed certain factors that are prompting Hindi print conglomerates to invest heavily in this state, one of them being the power surplus state that it is. He said, "It's a consumer market and is one of the most literate states. Himachal Pradesh is getting its due share now."
Elaborating more on the reason for coming up with the Dharamsala edition, Kohli said, "It's a popular state, people have to understand it's a different market, earlier it was more of a spillover market from Chandigarh or from Jalandhar. We had understood that need and we were doing it from the last four or five years. So now, in order to pay a tribute to the people of Dharamsala we are coming out with this edition."
Atul Maheswari, Managing Director, Amar Ujala, while pointing out that Amar Ujala was the number one paper in Himachal Pradesh, said that the paper was extending its printing facility in Dharamsala and added that the dynamics of the market was not changing.
Kohli was quite upbeat about the potential of the market even as far as advertising was concerned. According to him, Himachal Pradesh, which was considered to be a spill over market so far, was now getting its due share and brands had now started realising the importance of this market. He said that advertisers these days also understood that it was a big market. He felt that advertising wise the market would grow more than 100 per cent in the next two to three years.
Commenting on the Dharamsala edition, Kohli further said, "We have always been a leader. We want to give respect and tribute to the people of Himachal. The Himachali has made us what we are and we strongly believe that this market will explode in a big way."

Ellesmere, Willington Square
Very happy with the accommodation we had.
We only stayed one night, and we had a top floor room from where we could see the sea and a lot more, so were entertained for quite some time just people watching. The hotel in general seems a very comfortable place, a little shabby around the edges, could do with updating a bit a long time since I used an avocado bathroom suite. But the beds were clean and fairly comfortable, and we slept well, and the breakfast was very good, nicely presented and Peter was in attendance and made sure that everyone had what they wanted and dirty crockery cleared away promptly what more could we ask for. We would happily stay there again we tend to stay clear of "trendy" places in favour of ones like the Ellesmere and our couple of days away did us good.

John Mayer & the (remaining) Grateful Dead pair up to tour as Dead & Company for 2nd year in a row, Multiple 2017 Summer Concerts Announced :
Just when you thought the chance for you to see the Grateful Dead live in concert was just about over, the existing band members will be joining forces again with John Mayer to hit the road on tour in the summer of 2017. That is correct; Bob Weir, Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann will be onstage with John Mayer and a few other musical superstars to play all your Grateful Dead favorites. The heart of the Grateful Dead band was frontman Jerry Garcia, who unfortunately passed away back in 1995. After the band lost Jerry, it was as if their hearts were ripped out. Fans were emotionally wrecked, but they all carried on. The other band members carried on too with solo careers and stints with other bands. Fast forward to now and you have the closest thing to the original band as you can get. The Dead actually recently played what was supposed to be a 50th Anniversary celebration tour that only consisted of 5 performances. There were not even tickets available to satisfy all the fans, but now as Dead & Company, they have released a nice 2017 summer tour for this year. Other musicians to be joining it a minimum are former Allman Brothers Band bassist Oteil Burbridge and amazing keyboardist Jeff Chimenti, who played with Bob Weir in the band RatDog.
Check out the latest tour schedule for Dead & Company below, you can also look for concert tickets, and there's even a cool music video of them playing live in concert.
Dead & Company Tour Dates and Concert Tickets

- 6/30 at Wrigley Field in Chicago, IL
- 6/31 at Wrigley Field in Chicago, IL
We surely hope that the band will be adding more concerts to their performance schedule. Fans will definitely be screaming for more. Check back with us to see if any dates are added.
VIDEO – Phil Lesh & Friends (with John Mayer) – Live at Terrapin Crossroads From June 2015 (Over 3 Hours!!)
VIDEO – Dead and Company Shoreline Amph. 7/30/16 (Full Show!)
Remember, Dead & Company will not be together for ever. Both the Grateful Dead members and John Mayer have their own careers and will shortly return to them. This is very well could be your last chance to see Dead music played live by most of the original band members.

The New York Times Book Review
The New York Times best-selling author of PHYSICS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE, PHYSICS OF THE FUTURE and HYPERSPACE tackles the most fascinating and complexobjectin theknown universe: the human brain.
For the first time in history, the secrets of the living brain are being revealed by abattery ofhigh tech brain scans devised by physicists. Now what was once solely the province of science fiction has become a startling reality. Recording memories, telepathy, videotaping our dreams, mind control, avatars, and telekinesis are not only possible; they already exist.
THE FUTURE OF THE MIND gives us an authoritative and compelling look at the astonishingresearch being done intop laboratories around the world all based on the latest advancements in neuroscience and physics. One day we might have a "smart pill" that canenhance our cognition; be able to upload our brain to a computer, neuron for neuron; send thoughts and emotionsaround the world on a "brain-net"; control computers and robots with our mind; push the very limits of immortality; and perhapseven send our consciousness across the universe.
Dr. Kaku takes us on a grand tour of what the future might hold, giving us not only a solid sense of how the brain functions but also how these technologies will change our daily lives. He even presents a radically new way to think about "consciousness" and applies it to providefresh insight intomental illness, artificial intelligence and alien consciousness.
WithDr. Kaku'sdeep understanding of modern science and keen eye for future developments, THE FUTURE OF THE MIND is a scientific tour de force--an extraordinary, mind-boggling exploration of the frontiers of neuroscience."

- Reviewer: Staff
In this expansive, illuminating journey through the mind, theoretical physicist Kaku (Physics of the Future) explores fantastical realms of science fiction that may soon become our reality. His futurist framework merges physics with neuroscience to model how our brains construct the future, and is loosely applied to demonstrations that "show proof-of-principle" in accomplishing what was previously fictional: that minds can be read, memories can be digitally stored, and intelligences can be improved to great extents. The discussion, while heavily scientific, is engaging, clear, and replete with cinematic references. Kaku's claims, however, often lack generalizability: his points about human thought are derived from research studies and patterns that emerge from discrete areas of analysis under highly sophisticated technological surveillance. The place of these esoteric conclusions in the nuanced processes of our daily life is rarely explained. Likewise, each issue raised, while fascinating, is equally fleeting: topics skip from telepathy helmets to cell phone MRIs in just over a page. Legal and ethical complications, too, arise with each predicted advance, though aren't given the attention they demand. These new mental frontiers make for captivating reading, yet Kaku's optimism and enthusiasm provides cover for what are mostly overhyped claims. Agent: Stuart Krichevsky. (Feb.)

Labiaplasty results.
When and how to seek revision
What to do? Wait untol 3 months post-op and return to your surgeon for a potential revision consultation & see what she or he has in mind. Sometimes this can be done at 3-4 months, if the revision does not invlove the old suture lines, but best to wait until 6 months if it does.
Best wishes,

A little early
Hang in there as the results should continue to improve with time. Make sure to follow up with your surgeon and voice your concerns.Try and follow all post operative directions as closely as possible.Best of luck.

Wedge resection failure
Thank you for sharing your photos and questions. You are now 5 weeks post operative and no this will not heal on its own. This is one of the problems with a wedge resection surgery there is a high propensity for failure compared to a linear contouring. Even in the most experienced hands this surgery can split the way yours has.
I would encourage you to wait at least 4 months before attempting a revision. Your wedge resection separation is not bad compared to many patients. I know that may not make you feel better but It is the truth. If you decide to get a revision please choose a revision surgeon wisely. Choose someone who has experience in fixing botched labiaplasties or in other words doing revision surgeries.

Dutch yellow potatoes are a waxy, heirloom potato with a rich flavor and golden-colored, dense flesh that makes them well suited for almost any cooking method. Because they hold their shapes well after being cooked, Dutch yellow potatoes do well in dishes such as gratins or potato salads. However, because Dutch yellow potatoes may be difficult to find, they might need to be substituted with other potatoes that have similar characteristics.
Benefits of Waxy Potatoes
Waxy potatoes have less starch than starchy potatoes; when cooked, they have a smooth, waxy texture. Because of their lower starch content and high moisture content, Dutch yellow potatoes retain their shapes after being cooked -- starchy potatoes often break into a gluey mess -- but do not become dry and chalky. Because of this, unlike other waxy potatoes, Dutch yellows also do well as mashed potatoes.
Boiling Dutch Yellow Potatoes
Scrub Dutch yellow potatoes under running water to remove any dirt or debris. The potatoes are thin skinned, especially when small, so the skins are edible. Keeping the skins on enhances the rich taste of the final dish and also boosts nutritional content. Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil, making sure you can comfortably fit all of the potatoes inside, fully submerged. Stab the potatoes with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking and cook for 20 minutes until the potatoes are soft through to the center. Serve them hot or cool, or cut into pieces to use in stews, soups and salads.
Baking Dutch Yellow Potatoes
Dutch yellows can be baked or broiled, either whole or in pieces. Because they retain their shapes, use them to make potatoes gratin or roast potatoes. Cut the potatoes into the desired shape -- into chunks for roasted potatoes, thin slices for a gratin or left whole for baked potatoes. Place them in an oven-safe baking tray. Preheat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit and bake the potatoes until they are cooked. Dress them with sauce or toss them in oil such as duck fat as needed. It can take 45 minutes for a gratin to fully cook, around 50 minutes for potatoes to roast and 30 minutes to bake a small-sized whole Dutch yellow potato.
Substitute Potato Varieties
Dutch yellow potatoes are available in some farmer's markets or upscale grocery stores. If you can't find them, use another waxy potato in its place, since the texture is similar. Yukon gold potatoes are readily available yellow-fleshed waxy potatoes that can be used to make gratins and potato salads and be roasted or baked. For roasted potatoes, a notable substitute is to use fingerling potatoes such as French fingerling or Russian banana potatoes, which can be cooked and used whole.

Will the village of Silver Lake allow drilling for a natural gas well on property south of Village Hall?
That is a question village leaders are pondering after hearing from David Beck, Vice President of Beck Energy Corporation, at a village council meeting in late December.
"I think it's worth pursuing and I think we should take this up, probably sooner [rather] than later," said Council President At Large Jerry Jones after hearing Beck's presentation. "If it produces what he thinks it might, it's certainly income that we can use."
Beck encouraged village officials to consider this opportunity.
"I just think you have a good opportunity," Beck told Village Council and the administration Dec. 19. "I think you have a sweet spot where [there] could be a lot [of natural gas] there."
If the village decides it is interested in having a well drilled, Beck said he would ask the village to enter into a three-year lease with his company and would plan to drill the well in the summer. He estimated the drilling itself would take six days and the whole process "would be about a month."
Beck said his company operates about 300 wells in 10 Ohio counties. He noted his company has "many" gas wells in Portage County that are 20 to 25 years old, and are still producing.
"This part of Summit County has a long history of oil and natural gas production. I search for places where I have a strong feeling of success [for drilling a well]."
Beck told the council he would like to drill a vertical natural gas well on a parcel owned by the village which is south of Village Hall in an area where village officials keep equipment. The parcel in question is close to 30 acres, said Beck. He said he would drill less than 4,000 feet below the surface. While noting the initial drilling process requires using a lot of equipment, Beck said the end product is a tank battery and a wellhead.
Beck later told the Cuyahoga Falls News-Press that the precise location of the wellhead and other necessary equipment would be "approved and agreed upon between Beck Energy and the village. It appears that they have enough acreage and the adequate spacing to be the sole landowner involved."
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources requires that drilling down less than 4,000 feet be done on at least 20 acres and that the well be at least 200 feet from an occupied building, said Beck. He noted the ODNR also stipulates that any landowner whose property is within 300 feet of the well must approve of the drilling of the well. Beck said he is confident that the well can be drilled on the parcel in question and meet the ODNR rules to where the village itself would be the only property owner that would need to agree to the drilling.
If the drilling is successful, Beck said he would offer an "allotment" of free natural gas that can be used by Village Hall. Additionally, as owner of the property, the village would receive a monthly royalty equating to 12.5 percent of the gross profits generated by the sale of any natural gas or crude oil produced by the well, according to Beck. He added that, under the terms of the lease, the village would have to pay a state severance tax.
Beck noted he would be willing to pay the village a $15,000 royalty prior to drilling the well. If the well fails to generate natural gas, the village would still have $15,000. If the well is successful, Beck said he hopes it would generate $2,000 to $3,000 per month for the village. He later told the Falls News-Press that the estimates "are hard to predict before the well is completed." He added that the income projection is based on the current price of natural gas and crude oil, as well as the success of the well.
Beck said he would have to see the village's gas bill to see whether the well he would like to drill could also provide service to the village's other buildings.
The property's location away from the lake and the neighborhoods attracted Beck to the site.
"I don't want to go under your lake," said Beck. "I don't want to go under your beautiful neighborhood. I don't want anybody to see it."
Another attractive feature of the site? Beck noted he would not have to remove any trees before performing the drilling.
He said whenever he wants to build a well, there are two primary issues people are concerned about: will the water supply be protected and what is the risk that the well will blow up?
Beck explained there are 52 different requirements he must meet in order to acquire a permit to drill a well and added a "good share" of those deal with the casing and the surface of the well. The Cuyahoga Falls water table is about 120 feet deep, while the natural gas is believed to be about 4,000 feet below the surface, said Beck.
"From the beginning of that drilling process, we'll spend close to $100,000 just to get through that water field to protect it," said Beck, who noted the state has requirements for drilling and state officials will monitor the drilling process. The city of Cuyahoga Falls would also be kept in the loop. " As part of that process we run an 11-inch casing through the water table, cement around it, run another casing 400 feet deep and cement around that. Before we even drill, before we even get close to the oil and gas, we have two strings of pipe surrounded by two cement casings."
Plugging the wells are his company's responsibility, according to Beck.
"Beck Energy has a bond," said Beck. "I have to be responsible to plug all or any of my wells at any time the state holds me financially responsible."
Beck offered to show council members other projects his company did at Twin Falls United Methodist Church in Munroe Falls.
He emphasized that if the village was not interested in drilling a well, then he would move on to other opportunities.

So I'm talking to this guy on OKC who seems quite compatible based on our political leanings/ ideology. He messaged me first and we started messaging each other. I do notice that he seems to message less frequent, once a day to once in 2 days. But it could be because he doesn't check at work while I do. I also notice that he writes in responds to what I write and doesn't ask much questions while I'm the one asking questions e. g. You've mention you spent time at XX place what were you doing there. Topics seem to mostly surround atheism as though he were writing an op ad. After nearly a week of messaging and I'm wondering if this guy is interested or not. He does say in his profile that he is flirt blind and requests women to show more clear signs. I wouldn't say I'm most interested but I decided to give a shot and ask him out for drinks. What do you think? Can you help me read this guy? Was making the first move a bad idea?
Can't tell if this guy on OKC is interested?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
Nope, that's pretty much the best thing you could have done.00|00|0
What Girls Said 1
No, making the first move isn't a bad idea. If he says no, then you know he's not interested and move on. If he IS interested, he's not going to become uninterested because you asked him on a date...
On a fucking dating site.10|10|0
what's wrong with being on a dating website?
- Show AllShow Less
Ah i see. well yes there's that, and there's people who say they are already in relationship yet claim to want to make friends on that site - highly suspicious.
Yeah I would stay away from those ones haha.

Clinton Sets First High-Level Talks, Travel as Secretary of State
November 02, 2009 1:20 PM
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is scheduled to meet with her British and German counterparts on Tuesday in her first meetings with senior foreign officials in her new post. Plans are also being made for her first overseas trip as Secretary - to Japan, South Korea and China.
Clinton's separate meetings with British Foreign Secretary David Miliband and German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier on Tuesday reflect an accelerating pace for the secretary as she moves into her second full week on the job.
Officials say the talks with the two key U.S. allies are likely to be dominated by discussion of the conflict in Afghanistan and how to deal with Iran's nuclear program.
Senior diplomats of the five permanent U.N. Security Council member countries and Germany are to convene in Wiesbaden, Germany on Wednesday to discuss strategy in the long-running talks aimed at persuading Tehran to end its uranium-enrichment program, which is believed weapons-related.
In a departure from his predecessor, President Barack Obama has said his administration intends to directly engage Tehran.
No decisions on how that approach might be made have been announced, although the State Department said Monday that a U.S. women's badminton team is taking part in a tournament in Iran this week, continuing a series of people-to-people contacts.
Although she was sworn into office privately just after her Senate confirmation January 21, Clinton repeated her oath at a State Department event on Monday. The formal ceremony was attended by Congressional leaders, four former Secretaries of State, and her husband - former President Bill Clinton.
Vice President Joe Biden, who officiated at the event, said Clinton - a former Senator and Presidential candidate - has given the U.S. diplomatic corps a long-overdue morale boost.
"That sense of enthusiasm as you walk in and through this building - it is contagious," said Vice President Biden. "And that's a statement about your ability to inspire, Madame Secretary, as well as to lead."
For her part, Clinton reiterated her commitment to the use of "smart power" - a blend of diplomacy, developmental aid and military strength to advance U.S. interests. She said that while current world problems are daunting, they are not insurmountable.
"We have in the leadership of President Obama someone who wants us to reach out to the world, to do so without illusions - understanding the difficulties we face will not be wished away, but meeting them forthrightly and smartly, and that we want to seize the opportunities that exist as well," said Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
State Department officials say plans are being finalized for Clinton's first overseas trip as Secretary of State - a visit to Japan, South Korea and China and possibly other stops in the region - that could begin as early as the end of next week.
The trip would be aimed at reaffirming close ties with key U.S. regional allies Japan and South Korea, and at dealing with problems in the complex relationship with China. The issue of North Korea's nuclear program is expected to be a key agenda item in all three stops.
North Korea suspended its nuclear activity and has partially disabled its atomic reactor complex in Chinese-sponsored six-party negotiations with Pyongyang. But the process has stalled over North Korea's refusal to accept a verification plan for the declaration of its nuclear holdings it made last June.

Overthrown of the Old Persians and a New Start
O.K., we know this, right?
Alexander the Great invaded the Persian empire and then collapsed. The survivors, however, fled to the north, which later attacked the Selucid empire, the empire that appeared after Alexander's death. Soon, the Persians became the Sassanids and started a new Persian empire-the Sassanid empire.
New Capital- Tashbaan
Tashbaan was a capital city that once used to be Ur, which is also a wonder of the world. Taq-i Kisra was a great city. Just at it is, it is the most enormous, magnificent, splendid, wealthiest, fortified, and the greatest city in the world. It had 40 million people. It is very huge because the city is big as 50 Tokyos. It had magnificent and splendid buildings, and has a bunch of 55 forums at the middle as with the Imperial Palace. It had huge harbors and series of canals. Tashbaan was a tropical paradise. It had a lot of palm trees and has a firefighter and police force to look after the city. And yes, as with every city, there were poor and rich. Everyone speaks Persia and Indian, in the empire, but rarely, other world-wide languages. Their culture is very advanced, blending 75 cultures and trading happens more there than anywhere else. With thick walls, fortified with watchtowers, gates, forts and super fire-shot trebuchets made land of sea invasions difficult. Although borrowed from China, they adopted the way of gunpowder in using it for fireworks, weapons, and made a technique of the fire shot. It boasted a sewer system, and organized social service in hospitals, homes, and orphanages. Ships crowded the city's harbors, luxuries come from all over the world. people without jobs are given, such as sweeping the streets, and weeding public gardens. The city's streets are either narrow of wide, grand and board, straight or twisting. Tashbaan had the most finest streets than elsewhere. Bridges were decorated, and shops were found all over the place. Massive and humongous structures are found then anywhere else. The first ballrooms were built for everyone to attend great parties. People, camels, mule trains, horses, elephants, soldiers, merchants, peasants, water sellers, sweetmeat sellers, porters, beggars, raged children, barefooted slaves, stray dogs and cats, pets, priests, carriages, and litters all crowd the streets. Many luxuries items, like ivory, silks, fur, perfumes, rum, gold, furniture, Samian ware (borrowed from the Romans), fabulous and wealthy jewelery, rich dining utensils, musical instruments, silverware, ornaments, decorating supplies, spices, precious and colored stones, and other luxuries items fled in Tashbaan's and its empire's markets. Everyone attended circuses, theaters, and amphitheaters. They were one of the many recreations that made the Sassanids happy. All roads and trade routes lead to Tashbaan. Public works were always made, and it has expanded a lot as the population grew. Its ports are centers of warship building, seafood produce, and centers of trading. Canals were water streets where ships drove on, and many monuments are found. There were many arenas where battleships fought, and there were many buildings that could stand on the water. Ships guard and control the waters around the port. Irrigation ditches were built at the ports in swampy areas to deliver to farms to control the water level. Sassanids had made a filter to turn the water cleaner, and most of the water is delivered the fountains and waterfalls that flow to the canals at the port. Sassanids refer the ports as paradises. Tashbaan also produces everything in their economy list. Trade always flourished in the empire, There were many food supplies stockpiled in the city. To the Sassanids, there was no special cargo than grain. It was the main food supply for making bread, pasta, cereals, and crackers. Farms, orchards, vineyards, livestock pens, and other farms are found inside the city as well. The emperor always gave money and food to the poor. In this city, what's so strange about is that many structures, and there were terraces over terraces, streets above streets, and then zigzag roads and huge flights of steps bordered (and are also found there) with orange and lemon trees, roof-gardens, balconies, deep archways, pillared colonnades, spires, battlements, minarets, and pinnacles. Many governments buildings house laws, records, and orders. A trillion temples, mosques, and shrines are dotted in the city. Statues were very lifelike, and Tashbaan was an humongous city. A huge fort ring surrounds the city. With guards all over the place, invasion was always difficult. The city expanded always, and finally reached its extent in the middle of the mid-empire.
Sassanid Empire
The Sassanid empire stretched around Europe, Africa, and Asia.
There were more land in Asia, than elsewhere. The Sassanid empire stretched in Arabia, India, Southern East Asia, Tibet, Central Asia, Russia, Mongolia, and yes, and Turkey.
Arabian Campaigns
Islam was even founded after this. Shah Sultan invaded the south. Sultan seized the Holy Land. The Roman evacuation was diffucult and very rare, survivors fled to Italy. When Mohamed was preaching about Islam (very early than the actual date), Arabian merchants drove him off. Sultan accepted Islam, and invaded Arabia. Soon, they were the power of the Middle East. Mohamed wanted Mecca to be a holy city of Islam, and that is what Sultan did.
This land belonging to the Romans were taken over by Shah Afghatan. Eastern Campaigns
Mohamed became a successor of Sultan, and invaded India, Southern East Asia, Tibet, Russia, Central Asia, and Mongolia. This spelled the downfall of the Asian barbarians, who never recovered. Russia was claimed later, but only the western part was seized, then, the Invasion of Tibet bought the other half into the empire.
The Romans lost their lands in Africa when the Persian claimed it.
North African Campaigns
Persian Shah Allah wanted to be a power of the world. He invaded Egypt, and became a country for food supply. Northern Africa was taken, and the Roman only ruled half of the Mediterranean.
East and West Africa Campaigns
Shah Mamadia wanted to rule the Red Sea. Kush, Ethiopia, and the West African kingdoms were seized.
This invasion bought a downfall to the Romans.
One of the most difficult of them all was Spain. Shah Fadamid wanted to control the Mediterranean. There was a storm that killed many men, but still had the advantage of surprising the Romans. Soon, he controlled the Strait of Gibraltar.
Mediterranean Islands
Shah Gethenasae wanted to be the power of the paradise. He seized the islands of the Mediterranean, and in the end, Rome was crumbling.
Shah Dasafaradada wanted to overthrow the Romans, thinking it was the Greeks. Soon, Greece and the coast of France joined. Rome fell.
Since the growing Yang Dynasty, a rapid decline of the Sassanids later ended with Shah Sassa killed.

And Now, to Love Field's Texas Ranger, Who Has Surrendered His Post Till Early 2013
Dallas City Hall sends word this morning: When you're next at Love Field and don't see Waldine Tauch's The Texas Ranger of 1960 statue keeping watch over the terminal lobby, don't fret. The Ranger, who took his place in 1961 courtesy Mr. and Mrs. Earle Wyatt and stands above the inscription "One Riot, One Ranger," hasn't abandoned his post. He's just been moved -- to the Frontiers of Flight Museum.
The reason, of course: the Love Field redo, scheduled to wrap its first phase in three years. Says the city, the Ranger was moved on October 12 and will remain on display at the museum till then. Fun fact: "The model for the sculpture was Captain Jay Banks, a retired Ranger from Company B in Dallas." Also, from the city:
One Riot, One Ranger is only one of the well-known art pieces at Love Field. The Map of the World laid in terrazzo and the Spirit of Flight (1959) sculpture, at the entrance of Love Field, are reminders of the Dallas/Fort Worth area's role in global aviation advancement. Even after Love Field completes its modernization makeover, these pieces will continue to represent the culture and innovation of North Texas.
