gardening moms come read I need help or ideas
so I rented this house it had 4 flower beds that were just mulch. this was in sept. I thought great I can use it as a veggie garden. so I start my veggies in trays this year. now spring is just around the corner and I have my starts started. and all of a sudden these empty flower beds start blooming flowers. so I have no clue how many flowers are in there and what kind. I could till but I was also going to do flowers to sell in flower arrangements. so do I just pull up what is there, and replant them? knowing I may have more flowers pop up later? or do I just plant somewhere else? what is your opinion and how would you personally handle this? I may get flowers in fall I am not aware of too.
Oh wow what to do?? I think I would find a new spot to plant as these flowers could be bulb flowers and then again they might not be... LOL
You really have to live in a place for an entire year before making any changes. It's the only way to get to know your home.
if you can move them to someplace else I would and then till up the area for your veggies. If it's not to big a deal lol...
I don't have a green thumb but google organic gardening if you want to use herbs instead of pesticides
trust me they are bulbs guessing irises. I will know for sure after they bloom. but I have 72 tomatoe starts with now no place to put them.
Quoting dana63:
Oh wow what to do?? I think I would find a new spot to plant as these flowers could be bulb flowers and then again they might not be... LOL
I would say it would be best to wait and see what's in the flower bed. There may be bulbs that bloom on a yearly basis. The only way to remove them is to dig them up and then you can replant them elsewhere; However, with this in mind, like you said there may be many different types that bloom throughout the season and the only way to know exactly what you have is to wait and see what comes up.
This exact situation happened when we first moved into our current home. I planted, without thinking, and surprise all these bulbs started sprouting through the soil! My husband, who has a horticulture degree, recommended we wait and see what came up. So, we did and were pleasantly surprised at all the beautiful plants that grew up from all those bulbs that I didn't even know were there.
It's hard to say well just dig up the entire bed, because depending on the bulbs or reseeding plants that come up annually, you don't know the depth they are buried in the soil. If you miss some they will sprout up among your plants. You could pull, but then if it's a bulb they'll just keep coming back up. Four O'Clocks are notorious for doing this, and are very hard to get rid of, I've been trying to do this for over 15 yrs. and it never fails that one will pop up again. They are what you call tuber plants, kind of like how a potato grows under the ground. Their seeds fall off by the millions and grow everywhere. So, my suggestion is that if you do decide to allow the plants to come up and bloom, in order to see exactly what you have, I suggest you dig them up before they set on seeds. If it's a bulb you'll see it when you dig it up and you can replant it elsewhere.
I hope this was helpful, I don't know everything about this, but I know this from my experience working in greenhouses and at home. It took me a long time to get all the like bulbs moved to a new location all together, but it was well worth it. I love the fact that they come up year after year and I do not have to purchase flowers each spring to cover my entire flower bed. I always have a space reserved for my special favorites to seed or plant every year. Good luck and best wishes with the project. Happy gardening! : )
Actually, it's great to do tomatoes in containers, like pickle buckets or plastic tibs because you can move them around for optimum sun.
Take a look at some creative container tomatoes on the internet.

Michael Thrasher, political scientist and elections expert at the University of Plymouth
The speech [used] some of the techniques that Tony Blair used during his pre-1997 speeches so I think he was trying to hark back to that. The difference is that Cameron speaks in sentences, sub-clauses, and qualifications, while Blair spoke in soundbites. There weren't many phrases in Cameron's speech that came out with a simple and strong message on a parallel with phrases [Blair used] such as "tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime". The candidates that he chose to speak on stage before him were mostly from working-class backgrounds. What they are trying to do is broaden their appeal to different social demographics.
Barbara Tan, member of the Runnymede and Weybridge constitutency branch for 30 years
It was a very rounded speech which covered almost everything. I think he has taken the party forward gently and sensitively and has really grown into the job [of Tory leader]. He is not a novice. He has 20 years in the Conservatives, at one time working for the party, and he has had business experience, so he understands the economy. We are very happy with him.
Sir Jeremy Hanley, former Tory chairman
It was a brilliant speech. He has given such heart to the party by showing how united we are. He makes us all feel that the troubled days of years past, when we seemed to be two parties fighting against each other instead of being one fighting for the future of the country, are past. It was a speech of unity and responsibility which really had heart.
Grant Shapps, shadow housing minister
I thought it was tremendous and embraced for us internally the completion of the party having changed , but also really the long-term vision. It showed we understand the financial crisis we have but was also able to lift our sights to show there will be a world beyond that and how we would want the country to be. It was a speech that dealt with the short-term world crisis but also a vision for the future for the country and I think that is quite a difficult combination. Speeches usually focus on one or the other but he managed to do both.
Michael Gove, shadow schools secretary
I can't think of a better speech from a party leader. What distinguished it was the quality of the intellectual arguments. Gordon Brown last week made a series of unconnected assertions while David Cameron [today] underlined an argument which encompassed what had gone wrong on the economy and the need for social reform. He made an emotional connection with the audience and showed he has a deep understanding of what is going on at the moment. Anyone listening to that speech and comparing it to Gordon Brown will think David Cameron is the stronger and most effective leader.
John Hayes, shadow minister for vocational education
It was extremely well-balanced in content. There were some who thought he might bottle out and not deal with the issue of the broken society, for example, or some of the issues around public services, but he managed to do that without being unnecessarily confrontational. It was important to get the style responsibly measured and not inflammatory and not duck the big issues. He was not going to be tilted off balance. That was the marriage at the heart of the speech.

What to Expect from Jewish Rich People
Jewish Journal
What to Expect from Jewish Rich People
August 12, 2013
By Shmuel Rosner
We already recommended the new study on The Future of Jewish Giving in one of our Headlines & Reads last week, but this one merits another look. Jewish giving is essential to Jewish practice, and Jewish practice is essential to Jewish continuity (remember the days when "Jewish continuity" was the buzz phrase of the Jewish professional world?).
A couple of things are interesting about this report. The most significant: Most next gen Jewish givers get their money from the previous generation. Less than 7% of them "are the primary creators of the wealth they use for philanthropy". Thus, I'm not sure if the fact that these people plan to continue a path not very different from that of their parents is as surprising as the study says it is.
"While Jewish next gen donors do give less to Jewish causes than they perceive that their parents or grandparents do, our findings suggest that the community's concern is overblown", the study says. In other words: if you worry – don't. Surprisingly, the young will keep giving to Jewish institutions. Towards the end of the study, the authors – from the Johnson Center for Philanthropy – plainly state their astonishment at this revelation:
What is so surprising? First, Jewish next gen donors prioritize giving to "Religious and Faith-based" causes far more than their non-Jewish peers. If Jewish next gen major donors give to Jewish organizations because of their Jewish identities – potentially including family history, values, traditions, culture, and so on – then this suggests Jewish philanthropic values have successfully been transmitted in these high-capacity families as well. This has yielded next gen family members who give Jewishly of their own volition.
And all this, of course, is supposed to be good news. But let me raise the following two questions:
First question: Is the gap between Jewish and non-Jewish donors wide or narrow? The numbers are all in the study: "Nearly two out of three (64.9%) Jewish survey respondents say they give to religious and faith-based organizations, and over half (50.6%) give to combination organizations. Among non-Jews, the numbers were 31.6% and 18.6%, respectively". So we know that there's a gap – a 30% or so difference in giving to religious and faith based institutions.
However, this doesn't answer my question – is the gap wide or narrow?– since this question depends not on numbers but rather on expectations. If one assumes that Jewish and non-Jewish donors should be expected to give to such causes in similar percentages, than a 30% gap is pretty impressive. On the other hand, if one expects Jewish donors to give to religious institutions much more than non-Jewish donors – maybe because by doing so they support a minority religion that needs much more support than the majority religion– then a 30% margin might not seem as impressive or sufficient.
Second question: Is the gap growing or shrinking? That's the crucial question since what we have here is a snapshot of one survey taken at one point in time. We know that Jewish Americans are, well, Americans – and are influenced by the same trends that impact most other Americans. For one such example, go read my exchange with Naomi Riley on intermarriage where the author of 'Til Faith Do us Part: How Interfaith Marriage is Transforming America' says: "I don't think Jews are as different from other religious groups in America as they often like to think. Assimilation is a trend that affects every group in this country. And I don't know that there's any strategy for ending that process". If they – we – aren't different, our donors might also not be different. They might still be giving more to religious institutions today but they might not do so tomorrow.
Michael Moody from the Dorothy A. Johnson Center for Philanthropy generously agreed to bother himself with my questions, and sent his response: "We can say that over time the amount that all next gen donors are giving to religious causes is going down, so we might expect that to affect both Jews and non-Jews in the same way/direction (we see this in the lesser amount of giving by the next gen to religion than their peers). But we have no way to know if the overall decline is going slower for Jewish next gen vs. non-Jewish, which would widen the gap over time. The fact that Jews in our sample DO give so much more to religion is a suggestion that this overall decline might not be affecting Jews in the same way – and this level of giving is somewhat surprising given that next gen Jews are not any more religiously active than non-Jews, and given we know younger Jews are disengaging from religion. But we can't say for sure that the gap in giving to religion will increase over time."
So, you see, Moody is smarter: instead of envisioning a future with a narrowing gap, he envisions one with a widening gap- an optimistic outlook. Or maybe this is simply an outlook that puts emphasis on the wrong number (my fault, not his, since he was answering my questions): perhaps we shouldn't even care about the "gap" with non-Jews, perhaps we should only care about having enough funds with which to support the Jewish future.

Esthero Videos
Mo' money, mo' problems. Unless your Esthero!
Esthero will release her new LP, Everything Is Expensive, on October 30, 2012 via both Universal Music Canada and through crowd-funded efforts by Pledge Music.
The album includes her infectious new single, "Never Gonna Let You Go" (written and produced by Esthero and Adam 12). The Canadian singer is using crowd funding to tour and for promotion, and is offering fans lullabies, fine art and even a chance to have their name tattooed on her bottom.
Now that's priceless! Let's hope it's temporary ink.

Strong but pliable
By Artsy
from Louisville KY
Get used to the shrinkage, best if formed over something. Takes dyes and paint well.
My 8 year old daughter loved this
By Happy dancer
from Medina, OH
My daughter and I used this papier mache mix, instead of traditional newspaper and paste, to coat an animal armature, about 12" high. It seemed difficult to mix at first, I started out with too little water, and ended up with a surprising amount of dusty white clouds. I made sure to start with more water on subsequent batches, then added a little more mix to thicken up if needed. Had trouble getting this to stick to vertical paper towel roll parts of armature, but my normally impatient daughter, worked with it and got it to stick. The texture is different than if we had used newspaper and glue, sort of like cottage cheese the way we were mixing it, but we both enjoyed working with this mix, and we are already planning additional projects using it. We went through almost a whole 1 lb. bag on the first layer, so I was glad I had ordered an extra bag. Thanks for the great product, I was delighted to see my daughter so excited with her art project!!
This works great!
By arom
from Chicago, IL
Creating figure sculptures standing 9-14 inches high with tin foil as the armature-this stuff works great. 2nd graders are using this product and it works beautifully. I highly recommend it! Thanks Blick.
By Homeschooling 7
from Gig Harbor, WA
I used this product as part of a homeschool art curriculum (Artisic Pursuits). We were supposed to make a sculpture of an animal. This was way too messy, hard to model, and two days later the creations are still wet. We only ordered this product because it was on the shopping list for the class listed under Blick U. Next time I will use Crayola's air dry modeling clay.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: We are very sorry to hear that you did not have a good experience with the paper mache mix. Satisfaction is always guaranteed so please let our Customer Care department know when you need assistance with an unsatisfactory product.

CHICAGO, June 20 (UPI) -- Jason Wood's pinch-hit three-run homer in the top of the eighth inning Wednesday helped the Florida Marlins edge the Chicago White Sox 5-4.
The homer, Wood's second of the season, wiped out a 2-1 Florida deficit.
Jeremy Hermida and Aaron Boone hit RBI doubles. Boone had two hits and Josh Willingham had a run and two hits to help the Marlins win the final two games of the three-game interleague series at Chicago's U.S. Cellular Field.
The win was the Marlins' fourth in their last 11 games.
The winner was Taylor Tankersley (4-1). Kevin Gregg recorded his 13th save.
Luis Terrero, Rob Mackowiak and Josh Fields each drove in a run; Paul Konerko smacked a solo homer in the ninth; and Jose Uribe had three hits for the White Sox -- who have lost three of their last four games.
The loser was Jon Garland (4-5).

Maryland and Oregon State squared off Friday night in the Emerald Bowl at AT&T Park in San Francisco, and Image of Sport was on hand to chronicle the Beavers' 21-14 victory. You can view the entire gallery by clicking here.
This, ladies and gentlemen, was a heavyweight event. Check out Maryland's Ralph Friedgen, above, whose team finished 6-7, the Terrapins' third losing record in the past four seasons.
Oregon State quarterback Sean Canfield, right, completed only eight of 14 passes for 68 yards and a touchdown, but he didn't have to be sharp because he handed the workload to Yvenson Bernard, below, who cut through the Maryland defense for 177 rushing yards.
A small, wet and pro-Oregon State crowd of 32,517 attended the game and watched afterward as Oregon State took home the hardware. That's Gary Cavalli, below left, the co-founder and the only executive director in the Emerald Bowl's six-year history. No wonder Cavalli's smiling. You might recall an earlier story pointing out that his compensation package for running the bowl was $362,018 in 2006. "Frankly, my compensation package is none of your business," Cavalli said.

- McKinney City Council
McKinney City Council: McKinney needs its own CITY ANIMAL SHELTER!
By signing this petition, you are telling your McKinney city leaders that you support the need for a City Animal Shelter with an Adoption program to provide humane care and homes for the dogs and cats of McKinney.
Since 2006, McKinney, along with 13 other cities, has been in a 10 year agreement with Collin County for the County to shelter its animals. The $3.5 million County shelter has 60 dog kennels and 45 cat spaces. The population of the 14 cities serviced by this shelter has grown to 311,130 (estimated as of January 2011 by the Census). McKinney alone was estimated at 132,790 (McKinney grew 141% from 2000 to 2010 & is continuing to grow). With population numbers like these, the County shelter is continuously over capacity and mostly relying on overburdened Rescue groups to take the animals not redeemed by their owners. When rescues cannot take them and volunteers can't find adopters, many adoptable pets end up being killed due to overcrowding.
The County shelter on average takes in about 5,900 dogs and cats per year. Over one third (38%) of these animals come from McKinney. McKinney pays over $320,000 per year to the County for sheltering of their animals. Most McKinney residents don't even know this shelter exists and therefore may have lost pets being killed due to shelter overcrowding. McKinney currently has a $4.3 million construction project for Bonnie Wenk Park on Virginia at Hardin, due to open in early 2013, which will include a dog park with a pet wash area. http://www.mckinneytexas.org/index.aspx?nid=614 This shows that McKinney does care about the welfare of their pets. McKinney citizens should be horrified to see how little the County cares for the well-being of the animals coming into the County shelter.
In August 2012, the County Commissioners went on record at their budget meeting as saying they will not invest any money into fixing major issues in the shelter facility (like heat, air conditioning & ventilation), nor will they increase capacity due to the increase in city populations. They also stated they do not want any staff time spent on adoptions, this is to be the responsibility of volunteers. There is no vet on staff so many animals have injuries which go untreated and many die from diseases being spread. The cat enclosures have no ventilation so most cats & kittens have upper respiratory infections that require costly medications or euthanasia due to sickness. There is not adequate staff in place to properly maintain the dog and cat areas in a timely manner or give the required vaccinations when the animals first arrive, increasing the chance of spreading diseases like Bordatella (kennel cough) and Parvo. They are also recommending NOT renewing the agreement at the end of the 10 years (in 2016) to provide sheltering for the cities, causing the cities to find their own solution.
WE NEED YOUR HELP. If you agree that McKinney is big enough to warrant having a full-service animal shelter with comprehensive adoption program that has vets on staff who will ensure all pets are spayed or neutered before leaving the shelter, adequate staffing to properly care for the animals, and a well-publicized adoption center, then please sign this petition to notify your city leaders this is needed. You can find your City Council information at http://www.mckinneytexas.org/Index.aspx?NID=138. The meetings are the first and third Tuesday of each month at 6pm, if you wish to tell them in person that the current arrangement is simply NOT ACCEPTABLE! Thank you for your support and your love of these defenseless pets.
- McKinney City Council
Subject: Keep McKinney pets within their own City Animal Shelter that includes a comprehensive adoption program.
I just signed a petition asking you to begin acting upon the need for McKinney to have its own City Animal Shelter with comprehensive adoption program, rather than paying $320,000 per year for the County to do it.
Collin County Commissioners are proposing not to renew the 10 year agreement for sheltering city animals, as of 2016. This would require cities like McKinney & Frisco to have their own sheltering solution for their pets. With the upcoming dog park in the Bonnie Wenk Park project currently in construction, having a City Animal Shelter would show residents that McKinney truly does care about its pet population. Currently McKinney accounts for over one third of the dogs and cats ending up at the County shelter, and with a population of over 130,000 and growing, the need is real.
In comparison to the neighboring City of Plano, who has their own very successful City shelter, they had a population growth of only 17% from 2000 to 2010. McKinney has grown 141% in that same time, and continues to grow. Plano's shelter is 50% larger than the current County shelter, which services 14 cities with over 300,000 residents.
The County is not providing adequate treatment for the animals in their care. They are understaffed and are on record (http://collin.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=2&clip_id=601 start at 1:10:38) saying they will not fix critical maintenance issues at their facility (heat, air conditioning and ventilation), they will not increase capacity to compensate for the growth in the cities, they do not have a vet on staff to provide for necessary treatment of injuries, and they do not vaccinate in a timely manner, causing the animals to spread Bordatella and Parvo. The cats have no ventilation so they are all sick. This is not acceptable and we know the City of McKinney can do 100% better. I urge you to support this and do right by our defenseless animal population. Being that McKinney is ranked #2 by Money Magazine on their list of Best Places to Live in America, we need to show that McKinney cares about its pet population as well as its people population. Thank you for your support.

Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as you ever can.
-- John Wesley, Founder of the Methodist Church, and the one for whom Illinois Wesleyan University is named
IWU is a multicultural and multi-religious community, and the Office of University Chaplain celebrates the religious and secular diversity of today's students, faculty, and staff. Diverse beliefs, convictions, and spiritual practices are welcome here as are a diversity of questions. Questions—about who we are and what we are for—are perennial in and for the liberal arts tradition. At Evelyn Chapel, through weekly programming and special events, we seek to provide a venue for asking those questions, and we work at the crossroads of intellectual exploration, spiritual reflection, community service, and interfaith dialogue.
Illinois Wesleyan University is home to a wide range of religious and spiritual programs. A number of Registered Student Organizations represent different faith traditions. The Office of University Chaplain supports the work of these Registered Student Organizations and offers programming exploring and practicing faith and spirituality, interfaith community, and social justice. The Chapel is also home to the Multifaith Ambassador Program, a unique leadership program for students who represent a variety of religious and non-religious perspectives and beliefs, and who are passionate about understanding and engaging religious diversity on campus, in their own communities, and in the world.
Signature programs include ReligiosiTEA, the Chapel's weekly interfaith dialogue group (Thursdays at 4:00pm); Light the Night: A Multicultural Celebration of the Season of Light (Dec. 7 at 7:00pm), where students who celebrate Diwali, Christmas, Hanukkah, Yule, Kwanzaa, and Lunar New Year share stories and songs, dramas and dances that point to the amazing religious and cultural diversity on our campus; and Harvesting Help: An Interfaith Service Day (November 4th at 9:00am).
Evelyn Chapel is also a place to just come and be. During the school year, the Chapel is open seven days a week from 8:00am to 11:00pm. There are always spaces available to study, gather for conversation, or make a cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. Chaplain Nelson Winger is available to students, faculty, and staff for conversation, support, and spiritual care. Students may call or email to make an appointment, or just stop by during published office hours (Tuesdays from Noon to 2:00pm and Thursdays from 2:00pm to 4:00pm). IWU students are welcome to contact Elyse at email@example.com or 309-556- 3179. The Office of University Chaplain is a Safe Zone.
Engage in Multifaith Conversation and Friendship
Multifaith Ambassadors Program
Launched in Fall 2013, The Multifaith Ambassador Program is a unique leadership program for students who represent a variety of religious and non-religious perspectives and beliefs, and who are passionate about understanding and engaging religious diversity on campus, in their own communities, and in the world. Working collaboratively with one another and University Chaplain Elyse Nelson Winger, Ambassadors build and create interfaith community through weekly programming like Multifaith Hour and ReligiosiTEA, as well as special events throughout the year. Participation in this leadership program includes the willingness to respectfully engage multiple worldviews and traditions, and seek places of both common and contested ground for the sake of learning, cooperation and action. Ambassadors have the opportunity to learn more about their own beliefs and to explore what interfaith means within their traditions, and to deepen their understandings of global citizenship, justice, and peace in a pluralistic world. Ambassadors also have the opportunity to participate in leadership development across campus and at conferences throughout the year.
Highlights of 2016-2017 include:
- Attendance at Interfaith Youth Core's Interfaith Leadership Conference in Chicago in August 2016
- "Harvesting Help: An Interfaith Service Day" in November 2016
- "Light the Night: A Multicultural Celebration of the Season of Light" with significant student participation as service leaders and attendees in December 2016
- "Welcome Home" Syrian Refugee Project
- a new edition of the IWU Interfaith Journal entitled Encounters
- leadership of ReligiosiTEA and IWU Interfaith
For more information about this student leadership and stipended program, please email University Chaplain Elyse Nelson Winger at email@example.com.
Discover Ways to Serve
There are opportunities throughout to year to join with students across religious and non-religious traditions out of our shared values of service and social justice. Major events for 2016-2017 include "Harvesting Help," an interfaith day of service in November; dinner prep nights at Safe Harbor; and food packaging events through Illini Fighting Hunger.
As University Chaplain, I also facilitate opportunities for students to serve locally and nationally and explore issues of diversity and social justice through our Alternative Break program. Since 2012, students have worked with: Habitat for Humanity's Collegiate Challenge in Alabama, Texas, Georgia and West Virginia; Tree of Life Relief Agency at Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota; and Appalachia Service Project in Kentucky. Interfaith Engagement and Service trips to Chicago have also been offered for Fall Breaks in October.

Alternative Spring Break: Habitat for Humanity Collegiate Challenge
March 11-18, 2018
For many years, the Chapel has partnered with the Habitat for Humanity Registered Student Organization to coordinate a Collegiate Challenge trip. The purpose of these trips is to provide students the opportunity to volunteer with peers, to explore social justice issues in a unique community, and to reflect on their own spiritual and/or ethical commitments to service. A student leadership team works with Chaplain and other University faculty and/or staff to select the site and to lead team meetings on and before the trip. The cost to each student for this trip is $250. Scholarships are available. More details to follow soon.
You are welcome to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com or 309-556-3179.
Welcome to Illinois Wesleyan University!

Kendall Jenner Got Herself A Brand New Fakelationship, And It's With Harry Styles' Twin
Kendall Jenner has reportedly started "dating" 5 Seconds of Summer's Ashton Irwin. And it makes total sense, because what do you get for the girl who has everything? A PR-friendly relationship with a pop star whose star power is rapidly growing, duh! Yeah, she got that same exact gift last year in the form of One Direction's Harry Styles, but it broke and she was ripe for a new one. So, she wrote to Santa Kris and promised to be naughty only when there's money to be made, and she woke up to her brand new fakelationship under the tabloid tree!
The rumors of this clonemance (I'll be here all week, folks) began when Kendall was allegedly spotted getting into Ashton's taxi in New York earlier this week. No word yet on if Kris Jenner was crouching on the un-photographed side of the taxi screaming stage directions at Kendall like a middle school musical theater teacher, but I suspect the possibility exists.
"Kendall and Ashton got into a cab together" SHE MUST'VE MISTOOK HIM FOR HARRY SINCE SHE'S GOOD AT MIXING THINGS UP pic.twitter.com/5o9f2ExFJu
— someone (@movewithnarry) August 5, 2014
But, so that no one was mistaken, Kendall made sure to follow orders and post a photo of herself hanging out with some of the members of the band, their stylists, and Hailey Baldwin beforehand.
【 Instagram 】 5SOSのメンバーとHaileyたちとNYにて pic.twitter.com/koRyajfUFv
— Kendall & Kylie JPN (@KendallKylie_JP) August 5, 2014
Two fun facts that I think you should know about Ashton are that 1) he thinks that stereotypical Mexican dress is a fun party theme, and 2) he is currently supporting Harry on tour. As in, his band is supporting Harry's band, not that he consoles him when he's feeling down, or whatever. Although, since they now have so much in common, maybe he's the best person for that job! They really do both have the "I like my jeans skinny, my dimples deep, my hair floppy and bandana'd, and my relationships fake" thing going on, so who better than yourself to go to for advice?
I just hope that Kendall doesn't confuse the two again anytime soon because that might make the remainder of their previously-agreed-upon 3-month-long fakelationship super awkward!

- Increases percentage of veterans in its U.S. workforce from 8% to
10% -
System, Inc. (NYSE: R), a leader in commercial transportation and
supply chain management solutions, has surpassed its goal to hire
1,000 military veterans by the end of 2013. The company beat its
goal by the end of February, a full 10 months ahead of schedule. Ryder
made its pledge in November 2011 as part of the company's involvement in Hiring
Our Heroes, a program of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation
focused on enhancing collaboration between the public and private
sectors to help veterans and military spouses find meaningful employment.
The more than 1,000 former military service men and women are working
for Ryder in a variety of roles including as truck drivers, diesel
mechanics, warehouse employees, and other professional positions. Since
joining Hiring Our Heroes in November 2011, Ryder has increased the
percentage of veterans in its almost 23,000 employee U.S. workforce from
8 percent to 10 percent. The company has also doubled the amount of
recently-separated veterans hired in that same time period.
"Ryder has been one of our great supporters since Hiring Our Heroes was
just getting off the ground," said Lieutenant Colonel
Kevin Schmiegel
(Ret.), executive director of Hiring Our Heroes. "They are proven
leaders in their commitment to hire returning servicemen and women and
are great examples for the rest of the private sector to follow. This is
a tremendous achievement for Ryder, and we applaud them for increasing
the number of veterans in their workforce."
Veterans have skills that make them uniquely qualified to work in
transportation and logistics, and also bring other intangible qualities
to the table, such as leadership, loyalty, and hard work.
"Attracting and developing the best talent in our industry is one of
Ryder's strategic priorities, and hiring talented military veterans is
an important part of this effort," said
Robert Sanchez
, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Ryder. "As a leader in transportation and
logistics, we recognize the unique abilities and character inherent in
military personnel. The distinct logistical, mechanical, management, and
teamwork skills learned through military service are a great asset to
our organization."
Ryder has long benefited from hiring military veterans throughout its
history. Since stepping up its recruiting effort with the Hiring Our
Heroes program, the company has implemented a number of new initiatives.
Ryder is a member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Veterans Employment
Advisory Council.
The company currently has more than 800 job openings across all states
in the U.S. For more information about Ryder's recruiting initiatives,
read the company's latest Corporate
Sustainability Report. To find and apply for jobs at Ryder, visit
the company's online career site at www.ryder.jobs.

A year ago Beth LeBlanc and her neighbors on Bellaire Drive had a problem no one could seem to fix. Their yards, which swept to the base of the 17th Street Canal levee, kept filling with water. Then on Aug. 29, as Hurricane Katrina moved out of the area, that levee collapsed and tumbled into their homes, allowing Lake Pontchartrain and a world of misery to pour into the city.
. . . . . .
They became concerned around Thanksgiving of last year, when LeBlanc's yard at 6780 Bellaire began to look like a wading pool. Her house is about 100 yards south of what would become the breach that flooded much of New Orleans.
"It was at least 6 inches deep the entire length of the yard -- 80 feet from the front to the levee in the back," said LeBlanc, who was left with half a house after the levee break. "At first we thought it was a broken pipe, so we called Sewerage & Water.
. . . . . .
"The catastrophic nature of the floodwall failures indicate this was a systemic problem, something that had been building for some time," Rogers said of the 17th Street Canal. "It tells us that, in all probability, these levees and the soil under the floodwall were already saturated before Katrina came along. This report of saturated yards only adds weight to that."
. . . . . .
"I can only assume the Sewerage & Water Board dropped the ball."
. . . . . .
"Some of them said they contacted the Sewerage & Water Board, most contacted the Levee Board, but in all cases, no one even came out to investigate," Bea said. "These are all signs that something is wrong. In the case of the sand boils, that something is seriously wrong. It means your system is stressed.
Lots of juggling going on here. And SOMEBODY dropped the ball. Blageur's question: You're a S&WB employee. If you see six inches of water next to a levee, and it isn't drinking water and it isn't sewage, and you think it's canal water, do you
a. warn someone in charge
b. get out floaties and open a free swimming pool
c. go back to Liuzza's for another beer
d. fagedabadit! it's quittin' time

The Geography Of Knowledge Spillovers And Technological Proximity
This paper tests the presence of technological spillovers for the French case and studies why they occur. Based on a knowledge production function, spillovers are introduced as an external stock of knowledge. Two dimensions are improved: A geographical and a technological effect. The results indicate that technological externalities occur. Spillovers are conditional to technological proximity and, to a lesser extent, to geographical distance. However, externalities are not as generalized as they could be. They do not stem from the whole stock of external knowledge. They flow only through human capital. People thus appear as an essential channel for the diffusion of knowledge.

This Campagnolo Basic Cycling Socks is no longer available although you may find similar or newer versions below:
Quick drying coolmax cycling socks with a differentiated construction for targeted support and ventilation. With a mid height cuff and subtle Campagnolo styling, Basic socks are the perfect finishing touch to your summer cycling kit.
|High Visibility:
Your feet work really hard on a bike and are a major point of contact, so it's worth pampering them a bit. Cycling socks are designed to relieve the pressure points generated by pedalling and keep your skin dry by wicking moisture away. Blood flow is also important through your feet, so a cool, vented foot will allow this better than a hot clammy foot.
Besides distinguishing themselves for their unparalleled quality and performance, Campagnolo products have also become the benchmark of design. This is testified by the prestigious Compasso d'Oro award granted by the Associazione Design Italiano in recognition of the Veloce groupset, Ergopower integrated controls and Shamal high-profile wheels. Campagnolo is not only involved in the cycling world, but dedicates itself to all sports in general. In fact, it was named by the Wall Street Journal as one of the most prominent sports brands in the world. A reputation earned not only as a result of the countless successes achieved in racing competitions, but also by virtue of the attention given to quality and to service that sets this company apart from all others.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., March 6 (UPI) -- Pattie Mallette, mother of Canadian pop star Justin Bieber, is writing a memoir, Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group, said Tuesday.
The publisher said it has acquired the world rights to "Nowhere But Up: The Story of Justin Bieber's Mom." Written in collaboration with A.J. Gregory, with a foreword by Bieber, the book is slated for release Sept. 18.
Mallette's book is to include details about the trauma, abuse and addiction that affected her early childhood and young-adult years. She reflects on her search for love and acceptance that led to teenage rebellion and a suicide attempt at 17, and she recounts the way her life turned around when she found herself pregnant and facing an uncertain future as a single mom, a synopsis said.
"Pattie's story is a powerful example of courage and determination that will inspire anyone who has faced struggles in life," Jennifer Leep, editorial director for Revell, said in a statement. "She's living proof that even in the darkest of places, there is always room for hope."
Mallette will support the release of "Nowhere But Up" with media appearances and speaking engagements throughout the United States and Canada. She plans to donate a portion of the book's proceeds to charity, her publisher said, without providing details on the intended recipient.

Wondering if anyone has any guide recommendations for the Puerto Morelos area in mid February?
I'll be spending most of the time with the family, but I'm going to get out for a 4-6 hour outing with a guide.
I can't figure out what's the best option for a shorter outing from Puerto Morelos. Cozumel flats? Nichupte Lagoon behind the hotel zone in Cancun, Isla Blanca? It seems like Ascension Bay might be too far?
I also am hoping to fish early mornings from the beach just south of the El Cid Marina, any suggestions?

Raunchy MTV sitcom has a heart
- |
MTV's "The Hard Times of RJ Berger'' is puerile, sexist, flooded with geek and jock clichés, inappropriate, obvious, derivative of "Superbad,'' forced in its political incorrectness, and filled with double-entendres that make the title look subtle.
And I kind of like it.
This scripted high school sitcom, which premieres after the MTV Movie Awards tomorrow at 11 p.m., is crude enough to fit in with MTV's lineup of steamy hot-tub reality shows. Our brainy, awkward young hero, RJ, has an enormous penis that's accidentally revealed to the entire school during a basketball game. The series opens with him masturbating in his room — right before his mother walks in on him. His sex-obsessed best friend Miles — he's the Jack Black/Jonah Hill chubby sidekick of the piece — is always ready with a lewd retort, searching for "hot girls with low self-esteem'' and prepared to be vomited upon by drunk girls if that's what it takes to get female company.
But somewhere behind all this MTV male-audience bluster beats the heart of a sweetly droll coming-of-age story. It's the same heart that makes all the Judd Apatow movies into something more than their raunch, into human stories that so often lead to the triumph of the dork. The show, created by David Katzenberg (son of Jeffrey) and Seth Grahame-Smith (author of "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies''), takes on all the facets of its teen characters' sensibilities; not just the sexual obsessions and gross-out humor, but the vulnerabilities, fears, and desperation as well.
A show like "My So-Called Life'' was a chronicle of teen stress and school hierarchies, but it always kept one eye on its adult audience. Knowing and literary, it appealed to the more mature young viewers, as well as to older demographics. And "Glee'' is an adult's message of inclusiveness addressed to kids. But "The Hard Times of RJ Berger'' is about teens and for them, too. Indeed, one of the trademarks of "Hard Times'' is the way it ruthlessly lampoons teachers and suburban parents. RJ's mother and father (Beth Littleford and Larry Poindexter) are locked in a narcissistic, orgy-loving bubble of their own, flaunting their sex life in front of their son. Next to them, RJ is like a little Ward Cleaver.
It helps that Paul Iacono, who plays RJ, makes such a sympathetic underdog hero. He has the Harry Potter look, with his round wire glasses, but he's a bit of a depressive whose horniness is suffused with defeat. He feels doomed by his fixation on the school's prettiest blonde, Jenny (Amber Lancaster), who also happens to be dating the school's nastiest jock, Max (Jayson Blair — not to be confused with the New York Times plagiarist). It's familiar David-and-Goliath teen-romance material, but Iacono improves on it with some of the self-conscious charm that made Adam Brody as Seth Cohen the real star of "The O.C.'' He is as likable and fleshed out as the other teen characters on the show aren't.
"The Hard Times of RJ Berger'' stands out on MTV, not because it's about music — that would be a miracle — but because it is scripted. It's a small step forward for a network that has been selling hollow exhibitionism, Tila Tequila, and "Jersey Shore'' for far too long. From RJ's campaign for office (with a "yes we can'' reference in his speech) to his moment as the star of the high-school play (a mash-up called "Vamp Side Story''), there's more truth in his misadventures than in all them there "Hills.''

Everything Has Been Done Before
As another example, someone like Michael Wolf could never have made his Street View series without the advent of Google's technology. He could have traveled around Paris and made photographs, but that has been done before, many times. He could have tried to explore notions of surveillance—that imagery would have been drastically different. Instead, he was presented with a new "thing", saw the way that it could comment on the ever-surveilled nature of our society, and used the "thing" itself to make that comment.
Can I tell you what to do? No. Can I tell you what the next major issue to explore will be? No. What I can tell you is that if you sit on the edge of what's happening in regards to the progression (and in some cases regression) of our ever increasing digital culture and keep your eyes open to the world around you, you will see new avenues opening all the time. I find the most relevant work is made in this space, because it talks about how we relate to the world around us, a world that is ever-shifting. So, take heart that there is always something new around the corner, waiting to be discovered, and there is always more art to be made.

The FAA announced Thursday they are ending their ban on airline passengers using e-books, tablets, and most handhelds, save for phone calls, during takeoff and landing.
That's good news for people with their nose in their Kindle or frantically working on a presentation on their iPad. The new rules don't apply to cell phone calls, so you're going to have to hang up on your boytoy or girlfriend when you start taxiing. Federal Communications Commission regulations still prohibit airborne cell phone calls.
"The prohibition against electronics began decades ago because of concerns about interference with cockpit communications and navigation equipment," USA Today reports. "But passengers have sought easier use of their gadgets as electronics become more widespread and as aircraft equipment has become less susceptible to stray signals."
The FAA is now advising airlines they can allow passengers to use electronics, so it's up to the individual airline as to when their policy changes.

Originally built in 1916 and renovated in 2000
In 1922, Holyoke industrialist Joseph A. Skinner decided that his daughter Elisabeth, an avid and talented golfer, should have her own course. Wanting the very best, Skinner called upon Donald J. Ross, the Frank Lloyd Wright of early twentieth-century golf course architects. He provided Ross with a rolling 200-acre site across the road from his summer estate, just north of the Mount Holyoke campus. The course became known as The Orchards, for the rows of apple trees Skinner planted there in the early years. Mount Holyoke students have taken golf lessons at the course since it first opened.
Joseph A. Skinner enjoyed a long relationship with Mount Holyoke. He served as president of its board of trustees from 1912 to 1931. At the time of his death in 1941, The Orchards was sold to the College for the modest sum of $25,000.

Voluntary and social groups in Forest Heath have been urged to make use of a low-cost transport service.
Voluntary and social groups in Forest Heath have been urged to make use of a low-cost transport service.
The Voluntary Network hires out wheelchair accessible vehicles. A volunteer driver can also be provided, at no extra cost.
Caroline Robinson, Voluntary Network Manager, said: "Our hire service offers voluntary and social groups an affordable way to provide transport to attend important events, activities and occasions. This transport service allows many local people to take part in community events and development activities, which largely improves the quality of their lives and allows them to socialise in safe and productive environments and to avoid isolation.
"We know there are many groups in this area which are in desperate need for transport solutions and we can provide the solution. The challenge for us is ensuring these groups are aware of what we can provide, so we would urge them to get in touch so we can discuss all possibilities."
The service is available in more than 30 towns and villages including Thetford, Brandon, Mildenhall, Red Lodge and Lakenheath.
For more information on the hire service telephone the Voluntary Network on 01638 608022.

Was with the physio today and have been given exercises to strengthen my core muscles as I suffer from some hip and lower back pain..
Been looking into joining a pregnancy class in Yoga or Pilates though too.. Total newbie to both!!
Anyone any ideas on which is better? Or which you guys recommend?
Thank you!
I had hip and lower back pain in my last pg (and again this time) and was doing yoga. However, pilates if much better if you suffer from this pain as yoga can tend to relax and stretch the ligaments and muscles too much, which you don't want - you need them to be strengthened and "held together" which is what pilates does for you. This is what my physio told me the last time. This time I'm doing pilates and it's great - I feel much better after each class.
There are loads of pg relaxation cds etc. you can get if you want to relax and chill out - I use Natal Hypnotherapy ones - you can get them online
magzero - last time I used this yoga dvd and foudn it good: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pregnancy-Health-Yoga-Tara-Lee/dp/B0012KSDG0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325668449&sr=8-1

Jan. 20, 2014
Source: American Farm Bureau Federation news release
While the European Union and the United States are together feeding the world, their agriculture policies differ, the EU's Agriculture Counsellor Giulio Melato told workshop attendees at the American Farm Bureau Federation's 95th Annual Convention.
The European Union has 13.7 million farms, Melato said. About 70 percent of those are less than 10 acres and 92 percent are family farms. Those farms employ 17 million people and comprise 6 percent of the EU's gross domestic product.
With 50 percent of Europe's land area devoted to agriculture, "We have a different reality in Europe," than the much larger U.S., Melato noted. With a higher population density, "The [European] population has a strong relationship with the countryside."
The side-by-side coexistence of urban and rural means they share the same air, water and other natural resources, which prompted EU policymakers to actively engage the public as it formulated modern ag policy. Recent droughts and price volatility "scared" European consumers, Melato said, and those fears increased public interest in ag policy.
Melato said the three overriding policy goals are viable food production, sustainable management of natural resources and balanced development. Government's role, he noted, is to incentivize farmers, not provide subsidies. Roughly one-third of EU direct payments are dependent on three areas: maintaining permanent pasture/grassland; crop diversity; and maintaining "ecological focus" areas of at least 5 percent of the farmer's land.
"Europe is a price taker," Melato said, which pushes farmers to maximize what they can get for their product. This means farmers are encouraged to move from bulk commodity production to specialty products identified with regional agriculture. Policymakers are working to protect origin, history and product names, he said, "because the consumer wants authenticity."
"These kind of products provide real jobs" for skilled workers who market, advertise, transport and sell specialty products, Melato said. Regional agriculture also helps drive tourism and investment, which lead to more jobs. The United States and other nations are welcome to invest in European ag ventures, Melato said, but production will take place in Europe rather than in the investor nation.
Melato said EU ag policy dictates that the safety net be a "real safety net," and not hiding another support. He said farmers are expected to cooperate with each other in order to improve their position in the market.
The state is ready to provide support in the event of major market drops, but farmers "must assume risk." Less than 10 percent of the EU's ag budget is earmarked for market intervention.


text: Hope I spelled it correctly, there are a verity of spellings on th web. I'm wondering if my 4x5 Shen Hao will accept a Horseman 612 roll film back. The Horseman uses the Graflex system. My goal is to eventually get a Horseman Pro 612 system and when I do I'll have this as a back-up or possibly for N+1 Zone Systems exposures. 2 backs are better than one, different film? I know Shen Hao makes a 6x17 roll film back, too big, bulky and not usable on another manufacturers system. The Horseman Pro 612 has some advantages including interchanging lenses and backs with the Shen-Hao. (if I'm lucky). If it turns out the Shen Hao does not accept the Horseman roll film back, does the Chamonix 4x5?

Elume Distinctive Lighting, Park City, UT
Elume Distinctive Lighting is a small but savvy retailer located in one of America's most popular tourist destinations. Formerly known as Prospector Lighting Supply, the company re-opened as Elume in 2011. Nestled in the quaint Park City neighborhood of Pinebrook, the chic, contemporary store defies the rustic stereotype of its mountain's edge location.
Personal service is a trademark of the nearly 1,800-square-foot operation. "Lighting creates an experience for the occupants of a room, and we want to make the entire process, from selection to illumination, a personalized process," says the company's entry statement. Building customer relationships is an imperative that has allowed Elume to grow and thrive. The staff is warm and friendly, and coffee, snacks and beverages are on hand for those who stop by to shop — or just say hello.
Building long-term relationships extends to community involvement, including membership in such groups as the Park City Chamber of Commerce and the Park City Women's Business Network. Elume has joined national groups relevant to its business and clients, too. Interior designers are a key segment for Elume, and these customers frequently attend industry meetings alongside company staffers.
Maintaining an exciting store environment is another way Elume shows its commitment to its clients. There is always something interesting to see in the way of new products and thoughtfully crafted displays. When an item sells, it is replaced with something new. That way, the showroom always looks fresh, even to Elume's regular customers.
A tiered shelf structure visible from the entrance is a new display that flaunts the showroom's portables. It's positioned close to the refreshment bar and creates a cozy sitting area. A large-screen mirror/television combination will enable staff to peruse vendor websites and customer's online portfolios while they are in the showroom. It all adds up to customer excitement. Elume staffers feel their own passion for lighting is infectious!

Iran: Two Christian Prisoners Released on Bail
- Compass Direct News
- 2008 4 Jun
June 4, 2008
ISTANBUL – Two Iranian converts to Christianity jailed for the past few weeks have been released by security police, who demanded valuable property deeds as bail collateral.
Authorities in the southern city of Shiraz set free 21-year-old Mojtaba Hussein late yesterday afternoon, requiring a bail guarantee worth US$20,000 for his freedom.
"This time it was the authorities who called in his family," an Iranian Christian told Compass today. "They acted very differently from the first time, when they told them Mojtaba could not be released because he was refusing to cooperate. Now they are taking notice of international pressure about his case."
Hussein remains under virtual house arrest, subjected to strict surveillance of all his communications.
Charged with "activities against our holy religion," Hussein now has a formal court case filed against him.
The same official charge has been leveled against Hamoyon Shokohie Gholamzadeh, 58, another former Muslim who was arrested just two hours before authorities arrested Hussein and three members of his family after raiding their home on May 11.
But the charges against six other converts arrested with Hussein and Gholamzadeh accuse them only of "activities against the country."
With the pending charges left open, all eight Christians could be called to court for trial at any time in the future.
Iranian security police routinely arrest and interrogate Christian converts, who are considered criminals guilty of apostasy against Islam. While in custody, the Christians are subjected to rough interrogations, attempting to forcibly extract information from them about Iran's spreading network of illegal house churches.
Despite Hussein's release, two other former Muslims arrested in a Shiraz park on May 13 remain jailed, their location and condition unknown. Mahmood Matin and a second man identified only by his first name, Arash, are members of another house church group in the city.
Converts Targeted in North
Another Christian convert arrested with his wife in late April in the northern city of Amol, in Mazandaran province, was ordered released three days ago. He was required to guarantee his bail with a huge deposit based on the monetary worth of his home.
The convert's pregnant wife had been released after three days in custody.
The Amol Christian has been informed that a case has been opened against him, and that he can expect to be called to court for trial at any time.
"This is the pattern they usually follow," said an Iranian pastor now living abroad who knows the Amol couple. "They put them in jail for a few weeks, beat them, and put a lot of pressure on them to get information about the other converts."
It is clear, he said, that the government knows about the growing number of former Muslims in Manzandaran province who have come to faith in Christ and been baptized in recent years.
One Christian leader in Iran's northern region has been arrested repeatedly during the past two years by police officials. He was beaten so severely earlier this year that he required hospitalization after his release and was unable to walk for three months.
"If we keep silent about this, the government will just continue doing this," the pastor said. "We must not keep our mouths shut about it."
Under Iran's strict Islamic laws, it is illegal to proselytize Muslims, and any Muslim who converts from Islam to another religion can be executed. A draft law before the re-elected Iranian parliament would make the death penalty mandatory for "apostates" who leave Islam.
Under the past three decades of Iran's Islamist regime, hundreds of citizens who have left Islam and become Christians have been arrested for weeks or months, held in unknown locations and subjected to mental and physical torture.
When released on bail, they remain under threat of criminal prosecution if they dare to worship in house churches or become involved in any Christian activities.
The Iranian government categorically denies that it arrests or executes any citizens for their faith. Instead, official spokesmen insist "judicial" or "security" charges are involved in such cases, which they often claim are linked to involvement with foreign interests alleged to be against Iran's national interests.
Responding to international protests after last month's arrest and jailing of six more leaders of Iran's Baha'i community, government spokesman Gholam-Hossein Elham declared, "Linking security issues to ideological ones would be a mistake. Every country must defend its security, and this has nothing to do with ideological issues."
Pastor Hossein Soodmand, the last Iranian Christian convert from Islam executed by the Iranian government in 1990, was accused of working as "an American spy." Since then six more Protestant pastors have been assassinated by unknown killers.

I am currently doing the recuritment startup training and so far I am really enjoying it.I had to express how great the content is put across. The training is very detailed. I applied for the backing option and when I was accepted I was happy and when I saw the quality of training I was even more impressed. The recuritment startup website was amazing with every explained and all fees are upfront. No hard pitch. Good company. I would recommend them
