Over-wintering in a pot or plant now?
Is it best to over-winter some perennials - hens-and-chicks, astilbe, salvia, butterfly bush, ice-plant - or to plant in the ground for the winter?
I'm located about 20 miles north of NYC and able to keep the potted plants close to the house if that would help them over-winter.
In the ground and covered with mulch...is one of the best. If they are already in pots the pots could be brought into a more temperate location like a garage.
Plants prefer to be iin the ground but many can also be wintered over in pots. A few basic rules to follow will help with your success: Best success with smaller plants Best success with larger pots Best success with hardy plants. Choose plants at least one zone below your zone. If you are in zone 5 plants hardy to zone 4 or below will be more successsful.
If they are rated for your zone, I would leave them alone. I don't mulch anything ( I live in N.IL and our winters can be harsh some years ). If you have some perennials in pots, you can dig a hole & plant the pot with the plant in it. ..... something I learned about Hen & Chicks a few years ago : Don't try to protect them by putting them in the garage or house, etc. My hubby did that with a planter full of Hen & Chick and when I took them out of the garage in the Spring and we got another cold snap, it killed them. So now I let Nature take it's course. I only intervene if it's a extremely wet Spring. ~ Good Luck !
You can cover with mulch or straw, keep them insulated basically. Chicks are like cacti. Due to their high water content, they can get the cold really bad and then they go soggy and can rot away.
One thing to be aware of for cacti and succulents is that they can indeed rot if left out in torrential rain that is ongoing for more than a few days as it does not give the plant a chance to dry out and leaves it with wet feet - leading to rot. Good drainage is essential. Should you find any of your potted succulents or cacti waterlogged and you are fearing it is so bad that they will rot - a good measure to head this off is to tip them out of their pots, treat the roots with copper sulphate (from memory it looks like a blue powder and you can buy it at nurseries) and re-pot them back into clean dry potting mix. If the weather won't let up from the point of view of heavy and continual rain, move them under cover (but still outside if you can) for a couple of days till the weather settles. I used to keep cacti and succulents and many a cactus lived to fight another day after adopting these emergency measures! Succulents will cope with the cold better than most cacti as cacti hold more water and the water can freeze and split the plant as the water will expand.
If they are rated for your location to be in the ground it would be OK to plant them but make sure they are covered in mulch before the harsh weather comes. Something like succulents I'm not sure. You could call a reputable nursery (not a garden center of a big box store) and ask their advice. If a plant looks like it didn't make it come spring give it a chance. Often plants in dormancy look dead when in fact they are sleeping.if the roots are alive, the plant is alive. Give it a chance to show new growth.
Aside, possibly, from the hen and chicks, all of those plants will come through the winter better in the ground than in pots.
I live in Ontario Canada..and believe me Hen and chick will live in pots or in the flower bed..LoL But If am sure there are different kinds as well!
You can see my posts on Sempervivum here that might give you some ideas; http://www.hometalk.com/2220334/sempervivum-in-the-fall http://www.hometalk.com/1991832/sempervivum-how-to-remake-your-hens-and-chicks
I have a pot of hens & chicks that I move into my unheated garage for the winter (along with a Japanese maple in another pot). It survives quite well there. But if the plants are already in the ground, leave them. They should be fine in your climate covered in mulch (I use fallen leaves).
I have found that my hens and chicks do best when I leave them outside and ignore them for the winter. When I bring them inside they kind of freak out and start growing abnormally. I have friends that grow them in bird baths and they flourish there. They tolerate the snow etc with no problems. There are other succulents that DO NOT do well outside but I can't remember what the group is.
Whether to bring your succulents inside to leave them out during the winter will depend on your weather and the plants. Some will over winter well such as theButterfly Bush and will only need to be trimmed back and mulch. Other more sensitive succulents such as the Echeveria, Agave, Aloe, Kalancoe and others will need to be taken inside out of the cold for them to survive. These plants should stay between 45°F & 55°F while they are kept inside. YourSempervivum can tolerate temperatures down to freezing but if you regularly get temps below freezing, take them inside for best protection. When preparing your Astilbefor the winter, be sure to cut them back to about 3-4 inches, taking care to remove all the foliage. The next step will be covering the roots with about 2 inches of mulch. Be sure to remove the mulch in the spring time when the weather warms up so you do not over heat the root system and cause decay. Many of the salvia can be mulched with 3-4 inches for best results as long as your temps only get into the teens. For the best results, check with your local nursery or go online and look up your particular salvia plant. Another option to over wintering your succulents so that you can avoid them getting really leggy during those low light winter months is to take cuttings from your favorite succulents and root the cuttings in a damp cactus mix. Keep your cuttings under a grow light or in a bright windowsill over the winter. Be sure to maintain a temperature between 45°F & 55°F for best results.

"Everyone wanted to talk to him."Even after nearly all of the guests had left the party, Rob stuck around, caught up with Rashida Jones and seemed to be having a grand old time without Kristen Stewart. Hollywood is most definitely still smitten for RPatz!

Joe is a lonely man who hadn't had a woman is eight months. As he's walking down the street, he hears a small cry for help. He looks down and finds a genie stuck in a small hole. The genie says, "Hey, help me out of this hole and I'l grant you one wish." Joe says, "I don't know, I don't trust genies, but I'll help you out." After the genie is out of the hole, he tells Joe to make a wish. Joe says "I wish I was surrounded by pussy."
The genie turns him into a tampon.
The moral of the story is don't think you're getting anything in life for free without a string attached.
How funny is this joke, video, picture?

Trade Tips for the Dark Brotherhood
Hi, I'm @elffromspace, Guildmaster of Elder Scrolls Exchange, the leading guild of a large network of trade & mercantile guilds with the goal of advancing the economy of The Elder Scrolls Online by enabling an open and social community for all types of players to sell their merchandise. I have been involved in ESO's trade system for 2 years and am also a member of the Council of Nirn, a volunteer group of community leaders who perform extensive testing to provide organized feedback to the developers.
The upcoming Dark Brotherhood DLC is bringing with it a lot of changes that promise to have a major impact on the economy in The Elder Scrolls Online. If you're looking to turn a profit or just prepare your own stockpiles, here's a brief look at some of the biggest changes we speculate are to come.
Crafting Materials
Materials typically spike each update as players make new gear to adjust to the changes. This will primarily impact top level crafting materials and upgrade materials (especially gold ones). Due to the scope of changes in this update, we may see a higher spike than normal.
Players who have 160 champion points but have VR1-VR15 characters will suddenly be able to upgrade the gear on all of those alts to max level, so there will be a larger number of gear upgrades happening in a brief period of time. In contrast, the value of VR1-15 materials is likely to drop since players will only need this gear on their first character and then never again.
Poison crafting will be added to the game with Dark Brotherhood. Poisons will be crafted using the existing alchemy profession and many of the same ingredients the profession already uses. Anticipation of this upcoming change has already drastically increased the value of reagents because players are hoarding them in the expectation of prices going up even further after the release. Players wanting fast cash now can get it by farming reagents and selling them for 2-5 times the average prices you see listed for them in addons like Master Merchant.
Rune farming for enchanting is changing significantly. Each node currently has a 1/3 chance of dropping one of the 3 types of runes. After the change, each node will give guaranteed essence rune and an aspect rune with an additional 1/3 chance of giving a potency rune. Potency runes will also be available from vendors in the upcoming patch.
Lower level runes will be very affordable ranging from 30-111G, but max level runes (Repora/Itade) will cost 2,508G. Anyone with stockpiles of lower level runes may wish to liquidate stocks as most of them can be expected to deflate to the new vendor values. Repora and Itade may or may not go up in value depending on how the farming changes work out once finalized. This process has been reworked a few times on the PTS already, so it's hard to be certain where it's going to land on launch day. Rune values in general are likely to decrease due to growing supply.
Hakeijo runes will be available with Telvar stones for 5,000TV. Due to the nature of this currency, it's unclear exactly how much impact this new availability will have on the runes' pricing.
With the removal of veteran ranks, all VR1-10 consumables including foods, drinks, potions, and soulgems are all likely to be devalued in a similar fashion to crafting materials below VR16. Players looking for great deals after the update may be able to find these consumables for very low prices. This could be a great strategy for players solo farming who don't need the maximum boost.
PvP Gear
PVP gear currently available in the VR14 RNG boxes will also be available in CP160 boxes for 20,000AP. This will make these sets viable again and may improve the value of AP. The CP160 versions of the more popular gear sets like Morag Tong are likely to be in high demand since the random drops mean it can be very difficult to get the desired pieces from the boxes directly.
Trait Changes
All weapon and armor traits are changing in the upcoming patch. Relative gains and losses in power between them can be expected to cause corresponding changes in the values of gear with these traits as demand shifts from one meta to the next. These trait changes are likely to continue to see adjustments, so it may be good to keep spares of hard to get gear even if they have currently undesirable traits.
In the Dark Brotherhood patch, sharpened is currently the most popular weapon trait, so nirnhoned weapons and potent nirncrux may decline in value. Nirnhoned armor is being buffed, which may drive up values of fortified nirncrux.
Many of the currently unpopular traits are currently being overhauled to provide much more utility to the players, e.g. the exploration trait will be changing to grant a bonus to XP and CP gain instead of increasing exploration XP gained. As a result, items featuring these overhauled, previously worthless traits should see a price increase with the update.
New Motifs
There will be new motif pages available in both thieves and assassin styles. These will drop as 14 different pages and will be available in delves and world bosses in both the TG and DB DLC zones. These motifs will start out being VERY valuable for players who are willing to spend more to get the new styles early on and sell their crafting skills. They will deflate rapidly as the supplies catch up with demand. Players who put in the time to farm these motif pages early will be able to turn a large profit in the first few days of the DLC's launch.

Affordable Indeed
For the 15th year in a row, the Affordable Art Fair has come to New York City (1 of 14 locations!), and your apartments (not to mention, wallets) are about to be very happy about that.
Art. Whether it's in the form of a napkin-doodle attached to your fridge door, a painting you were given by a grandparent, or framed illustrations you got from Etsy, we all own it (or want to), ogle it, and some of us even create it.
So maybe you can't all afford one of Picasso's animal line drawings (there's still lots of time!), or are feeling uninspired by what you're seeing online, and can't make your own (again, time!). Enter, the Affordable Art Fair. From today through April 3, more than 70 local, national, and international galleries will come together in Manhattan to showcase over one thousand pieces of art ranging from $75 to $10,000. Not only is the event an incredibly fun place to get inspiration (we're looking forward to seeing some gold-leaf covered pieces by recent graduate Delano Dunn), but it also is a great time to snag some well-priced art that may very well increase significantly in value in the next few years. If this all sounds like a lot to deal with, we get it. Lucky for you, fair director Cristina Salmastrelli gave us her best buying tips. Take note!

We Listen, we learn everything we can about our current and prospective clients/customers so that we can exceed their expectations and anticipate their needs. Communications – Business communications have changed dramatically over the last ten years. Email and web conferencing have replaced phone calls and personal visits as the communication methods of choice. Since project managers often serve as lynchpins in communications among clients, team members, vendors and management, well-designed communications software is indispensable for effective project management. Diagramming – Diagramming software is used to produce graphical representations of projects and flowcharts. From a project management standpoint, this software can improve workflow and timing. Social media – If you haven't yet received a task status update via Twitter, that is likely coming. Social media can help project managers stay on top of their teams and track progress, and, in fact, a growing number of PMs are currently using Facebook or other social media tools to communicate with project teams and clients. Project Management platforms – Last, but certainly not least, is the growing number of software applications that are designed specifically for project management tasks. These platforms come with a number of useful tools that can help manage scheduling, cost estimation, budget control, and documentation. Most PM platforms provide some mixture of communications and file sharing as well as tools for assigning tasks, milestones, and deadlines. Leverage Five's project managers have a plethora of technologies available to help optimize their project management tasks. By taking advantage of these and other software applications, project managers can become more effective and efficient and in turn provide their clients increased value. OFFERING:

Sadly there are also areas of gameplay that have taken an obvious step in the wrong direction. Shooting has been relegated to merely holding down a button. There's no timing to it, no real skill or user control over whether a shot is made or not. Whether the ball tickles the nylon or clangs off of the rim seems to be totally based on your player's ability and the defensive pressure at that time. It's not clear whether this was done to allow for real life animations to shine through a bit more, or if it was just to dumb the game down a bit, but whatever the reason it has had a negative impact.
Then there's the new lock-on defense, something that also makes its way into NBA 2K8, and essentially makes playing defense as easy as holding down the left trigger and maneuvering the left stick a bit. You no longer need to worry about switching players to follow the ball; the game now handles that for you. The whole defensive play experience has been taken out of the player's hands a bit too much.
There are also other areas, some small and some not-so-small, where NBA Live 08 stumbles. Fast break lay-ups are still missed a bit too often, though it's not nearly as frustrating as it was last year. Developers need to realize that NBA players, at least the upper echelon athletes, do not miss lay-ups, even when contested. If Stephon Marbury has a one-on-one situation with a back pedaling defender, there is no way he's going to miss his dunk or finger roll; it simply doesn't happen.
Inbounding the ball can be a bit of a challenge for the CPU. On occasion you'll see five-second violations that shouldn't happen, and others where you should have been able to steal an inbound pass, but can't. There's another issue that stems from inbounding the ball, one that has been in every NBA Live in recent memory. That being a backcourt violation that happens when tossing the ball in from out of bounds. Anyone who knows the game of basketball knows that this should never happen; no matter where you throw the ball in from, there's no way that it can result in a backcourt violation, yet it will happen every time in Live 08 if you pass the ball from out of bounds, back over the centerline.
The artificial intelligence in the game tends to be detrimental to the overall experience with friendly defenders not realizing when they need to rotate off of their man on defense and opposing all-stars not taking advantage of their abilities the way they should. If I'm playing against Kobe on the game's hardest difficulty he should take over the contest in certain situations. He should abuse my defense, not pass out of an open lane to the hoop.
Instant replays are another small nuisance, and while they don't affect the overall gameplay in a huge way, it's still something that shouldn't be an issue at this stage of technology. If you see something odd on the court, let's say a weird animation followed by a foul. The ref hands the ball to the player to inbound after the play, you press start, select instant replay expecting to see the preceding play and can only rewind far enough to watch the ref hand the ball to the player tossing the ball inbounds. Why the system's memory is erased after each play is beyond me and is an annoyance that will hopefully be remedied in years to come.
You're Fired!
As you'd expect dynasty mode makes its sophomore season return in NBA Live 08, but not a whole lot has changed for this go round. There are more informative prompts that pop up letting you know when tasks like assigning training drills for the coming week, hiring staff, and orders from the upper-management (but if you're the owner of the team, who is ordering you around?) to better your performance - yes, you can be fired - are common throughout the dynasty mode.Continues

How To Prepare For Your Workers Comp Audit
Tips and suggestions on how to best prepare for your workers compensation audit.
The Workers Compensation Premium Audit Process
The first thing you need to know is why an
is being requested. Your workers compensation premium is ultimately determined by your exposures. The two basic exposure types for a workers compensation policy are payroll (remuneration) and total cost of uninsured contractors. When your policy is first set up your policy premium is based on an estimated exposure. This estimate should come from you after you've been informed how an auditable policy works, not made up or guessed at by your insurance agent. Your estimate should have been your best projection for the comming policy period.
Shortly after your policy expires, your actual exposure during the policy period will be determined by the audit. After the audit of your workers compensation policy is completed by your insurance carrier they will prepare and send to you a
Final Audit Statement.
This statement will indicate any additional premium you owe or any credit you will receive due to the payroll adjustment as determined by the
You should receive the audit billing statement usually within three months after the end of your workers compensation policy period.
So what is the auditor really looking for? Obviously the answer is
Payroll, defined as a workers compensation term, which includes payments to others as uninsured contractors.
Records you need to have available
When preparing for your workers compensation audit you need to make available to the auditor only those items they ask for. Don't give them or volunteer more information than they ask for. Remember, the quicker an auditor can finish his job and move onto another audit, the better it is for you and for them. Here's some of the items they may need to do their job;
Payroll Records to include:
Payroll Journal and Summary
Your Check Book. Try not to give them your check book unless it is the only way you keep records.
Federal Tax Reports - 941's that cover the audit period
State Unemployment Reports and Individual Earnings Records
All Overtime Payments Shown Individually
Employee Records
Include a detailed explanation of the job duties of each employee
Include Number of Employees
Hours, Days or Weeks Worked Annually
Cash Disbursements showing:
Payments to
Casual Labor
Certificates of Insurance
For All Subcontractors
For All Independent Contractors
A detailed description of your business operations
Helpful Hints and Tips
When preparing for your audit keep these helpful hints in mind. They will save you time and cut down on errors the auditor may make.
Separate any
paid to your employees. Summarize the overtime by job classification as you list them on your payroll records.
Make sure you have current
certificates of insurance
for each of the subcontractors that you used during the policy period. Also make sure the certificates show workers compensation coverage is being provided. You'd be surprised how many small contractors have general liability coverage but no workers compensation coverage. Certificates of insurance must cover the period when the subcontractor worked for you. Be aware, this may require certificates covering different policy terms for the subcontractor.
In some circumstances a single employee's payroll may be divided over different
class codes
unless the employee works in a clerical or sales position. Proper records must be kept in dollar amounts, not percentages, that reflect work actually performed before a breakdown can be applied. This is called Payroll Separation. Without adequate records, the entire payroll for the employee must be placed in the highest rated classification and payroll separation can not be used.
Simplify the Auditors job. The auditor is on a very strict time schedule. Everytime an appointment is missed or has to be postponed it creates havoc in their life. So if a physical audit is being completed you want to do everything you can to make sure the auditors job goes smoothly. Here's some suggestions:
Be prepared. Do not blow the auditor off and make them have to reschedule. A happy auditor leads to a good audit!
Have all the information the auditor requested organized and ready for use. Complete and accurate records kept well organized will make the audit process easier. The auditor can quickly find what they need and will require less questions and/or clarifications.
Answer basic questions about your business and records. The owner of the business should be available to meet with the auditor to answer questions and review the audit. If the owner is not available it should be someone with complete knowledge of the business. Do not just dump this job off on your bookeeper or a lower level manager. Correct information exchange with the auditor is critical to an accurate audit. Again, just answer what you are asked.
Do not volunteer information. Stick to answering the questions the auditor asks. No more, No less.
Keep it simple. Do not ask the auditor questions. Remember they are not there to help you. They want to get their job done and get out.
A word of caution. Many auditors prefer to just gather data then take it home or to the office and finish it up. This is never a good process. You should always have the chance to review the auditors work before they leave your office so you are aware of how they classed your employees and what the potential impact the audit will have on your business. You will be asked to sign the auditors worksheet before they leave. You should never sign an incomplete worksheet. You should always ask for and keep a copy for your files.
Types of Workers Compensation Audits performed
There are two types of workers compensation audits performed. The physical audit and the voluntary audit. Whether an insurance company performs a physical or voluntary workers compensation audit will depend upon the type and nature of your business operations. The more complicated business operation will usually require a physical audit.
The Physical Workers Compensation Audit
This type of audit is performed at your place of business within 60 days after the expiration of your workers compensation policy. The auditor will notify you by mail and schedule the audit appointment. They don't usually call you to discuss a "best time" to do the audit, they just go ahead and schedule the time and let you know when they will be at your office. The auditor will indicate what type of records they will need to complete their job. If you have any questions or need to modify the time or place of the audit you should contact the auditor as soon as possible. Remember the auditor is on a time schedule. Most Insurance Carriers require them to return the complete audit within a 30 day time period. His clock is running. If the audit is not completed within the time frame given, the auditor must return it to the insurance company marked delinquent. A delinquent audit gives the insurance company additional latitudes
The Voluntary Workers Compensation Audit
Within 30 days of the expiration of your policy you will receive a voluntary audit form from the insurance company in the mail. This form should be completed and returned to the insurance company as soon as possible. The form usually shows the classifications as shown on your policy and asks for your actual payroll exposures for each class. These forms are basic but can be seriously confusing for someone who has not complete one before. If you have any questions about these forms it is in your best interest to contact the insurance company and ask them how to complete the form. Remember, the information you send back is what they will use for your audited payroll. So it is very important that you get it right.
It is very important that the audit be completed and submitted to the insurance company within a timely manner. If a physical audit, do all within reason to comply with requests the auditor may make. If you've been asked to complete a voluntary audit do your best to fully complete the forms and ask for help if you need clarification on any item being requested.
Some final thoughts
The workers compensation audit is a policy provision as outlined within your workers compensaton policy. A contractual obligation. One that you agreed to when you purchased your workers compensation policy. Do you have to cooperate or comply? No... But if you don't comply you give the insurance company the option to apply additional latitudes. If an audit is not completed, or if you are deemed to be uncooperative in completing the audit, an insurance company is allowed to use estimated audit figures and guess what, the insurance company is the one who comes up with the estimate. So here we go....
Do your best to get the audit done on time.
Do your best to work with the auditor and get what they need to do their job.
Do your best to understand the process before it begins.
Remember...if you need it,

With the literary chops of Bonfire of the Vanities and the dizzying decadence of The Wolf of Wall Street, The Fall of Princes takes listeners into a world of hedonistic highs and devastating lows, weaving a visceral tale about the lives of these young men, winners all...until someone changes the rules of the game. Goolrick paints a magnificently authentic portrait of an era, tense and stylish, perfectly mixing adrenaline and melancholy.
Stunning in its acute observations about great wealth and its absence, and deeply moving in its depiction of the ways in which these men learn to cope with both extremes, the novel travels from New York to Paris to Los Angeles to Italy to Las Vegas to London on a journey that is as startling as it is starkly revealing - a true tour de force.
©2015 Robert Goolrick (P)2015 HighBridge, a division of Recorded Books
"A dark, intoxicating morality tale.... With his impeccable prose, Goolrick focuses his unflinching eye on the grittiness beneath the sleek façade of nightclubs, fashion, and monied Manhattan extravagance. Beautifully crafted, seductive, and provocative." (Garth Stein, author of A Sudden Light and The Art of Racing in the Rain)
"Hauntingly Beautiful"
This is one of the very best fiction books I have listened to in four years as an audible member. R.C . Bray brilliant as the narrator.

Police are appealing for information after thieves stripped thousands of pounds of metal out of a disused bar.
The crooks ransacked the former The Edge nightclub, in Kirkham, and stole £100,000 of sinks, toilets, boilers and pipework.
Officers have carried out door-to-door inquiries in the area and are now appealing for anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity around the former club on Preston Street to get in touch.
The theft happened during a month-long period between the beginning of March and the start of April.
PC Andy Rigby, from Kirkham police station, said: "The thieves smashed in the back door and they must have been in there some time because it really has taken some time to strip.
"Everything was metal, it was a very modern place and they've even taken the metal sinks and toilets.
"The bar was partly metal and they have also taken the metal strip that you stand on at the bar, the strips that go in between the doors – anything that is metal has gone."
PC Rigby said all the wiring had also been stripped out, along with the boiler.
He believes the premises was deliberately targeted, and said the raiders responsible must have had a vehicle parked nearby.
He added: "It has been deliberately targeted and they would have had to have a vehicle.
"I'm appealing for anyone who has seen anything suspicious, anybody loitering in the area or anybody trying to get rid of these distinctive sinks and toilets.
"Boilers can come from anywhere but metal sinks and toilets are not that common."

Tennis: 'With this, winning today, my life is perfect' - Flavia Pennetta wins US Open and retires
US Open champion wins first grand slam title and retires
US Open champion Flavia Pennetta believes lifting a first grand slam title next to her childhood friend was the perfect way to end her career.
Pennetta beat fellow Italian and long-time companion Roberta Vinci 7-6 (7/4) 6-2 and then used her victory speech to announce her retirement in front of a shocked crowd in Arthur Ashe Stadium.
The world number 26 will still play on until the end of the season but this was her last outing at Flushing Meadows and her final match at a grand slam.
Pennetta had been rated 150/1 to win before the fortnight began and at 33, she becomes the oldest female in the Open era to win a major tournament for the first time.
The surprise victory is worth 3,300,000 US dollars and Pennetta is projected to rise to eighth in the world rankings, but the veteran Italian was in no doubt about her decision to call it a day.
"Sometimes we are more scared to take the decision because we don't know what we're going to do after but I think it's going to be a pretty good life," Pennetta said.
"I'm really proud of myself. I think I did everything that I expect. More. Much more.
"You start when you are really young and you make a lot of decisions, hard decisions, you lose so many things when you're young.
"With this, winning today, my life is perfect.
" I cannot say anything different. Perfect."
It was the Open era's first all-Italian grand slam final and there was a distinctly Mediterranean feel to the contest as the players walked out to Francesco Sartori's 'Time to Say Goodbye' blaring out around the arena.
Pennetta's Italian boyfriend, world number 32 Fabio Fognini, was in attendance, as was Italy's prime minister Matteo Renzi, who spoke to the champion after the match.
"He said, 'You don't going to understand what happens now in Italy'," Pennetta said.
"He was talking with me and Roberta because we were together. In Italy now is going to be crazy."
Vinci and Pennetta first played together when they were nine years old in Brindisi, Pennetta's home town, and as teenagers the pair moved to Rome where they enrolled with the Italian tennis federation's talent programme and lived together as room-mates for four years.
After her historic victory, Pennetta whispered to Vinci her decision to retire as they sat next to each other on court, waiting for the presentation to begin.
"I told her, 'Roberta, this is my last New York'," Pennetta said.

With Nayaswamis Pranaba and Parvati
May 5-7, 2017
Rolling Ridge Retreat Center, North Andover, MA
Kriya Yoga is a meditation technique that quickly accelerates one's spiritual growth toward the goal of yoga: union with the Divine. It was first made widely known by Paramhansa Yogananda in his Autobiography of a Yogi. Kriya consists of easy-to-learn techniques to increase concentration and awareness, promote deeper meditation, and increase our energy.
Join us for an experiential retreat in which you will practice the beginning techniques of Kriya Yoga through twice daily guided spiritual practices (Energization Exercises, Ananda Yoga postures, chanting, meditation). Additionally, through discussion, stories, and inspirational talks, you'll learn more about the Kriya tradition and discover ways to live more superconsciously for greater happiness and success in all areas of life.
There will be three programs running concurrently at this retreat. Please note that one must be approved by Ananda beforehand to attend the Initiation(s), or have already received Kriya through Ananda Sangha. For more information, please send an email to Sanjan Thelen at firstname.lastname@example.com.
● Kriya Yoga Initiation into the full technique on —Saturday evening
● A separate Initiation into the Higher Kriya —Techniques for those who have been practicing —basic Kriya for at least three years.
● An alternate introductory program for those not —participating in either initiation.
We look forward to sharing the ever-new joy of meditation with you!
The retreat will be led by Nayaswamis Pranaba and Parvati, two of Ananda's most widely traveled and experienced ministers. They helped to create and direct Ananda centers in Palo Alto, Portland, Seattle, Dallas, and Assisi, Italy. Pranaba now manages Ananda Sangha Worldwide, Ananda's outreach ministry, and Parvati currently administers the Janaka Foundation at Ananda. They are both also Kriyacharyas, designated by Swami Kriyananda to initiate people into the soul liberating technique of Kriya Yoga as taught by Paramhansa Yogananda.

Paper No. 6252 Dated 04-May-2017
By Bhaskar Roy
On May 14, representatives of 110 countries would be gathered in Beijing in one of the biggest international summits, to listen and discuss China's "One Belt, One Road" (OBOR) initiative. Around 28 national leaders from Russia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines and Turkey, and several from the West and Africa would be in attendance.
Paper No. 6251 Dated 04-May-2017
By Dr. S. Chandrasekharan
Maldives is too close to India both geographically and strategically and therefore developments in that country though small will have a great impact on India's national security.
Paper No. 6250 Dated 01-May-2017
By Dr Subhash Kapila
The United States and the Trump Administration reflect great naivety when publicly asserting that a China duplicitous for decades on North Korea's nuclear adventurism will now cooperate with the United States in checkmating North Korea.
Paper No. 6249 Dated 25-Apr-2017
Over the decades the People's Republic of China has sold to the world the narrative that it is a self-contained power and has no ambition of coveting territories of other nations. This is far from the truth. China in the past had tried to expand colonialism over other countries like Vietnam and Indonesia. The only problem was they were unable to hold on to the territories that they tried to colonise.
Paper No. 6248 Dated 25-Apr-2017
The United States original sins on Afghanistan and the after effects of which haunt the United States in 2017 is that in both its military interventions in Afghanistan and more so the recent one in 2001 still ongoing, it overly depended on an unreliable and double-timing Pakistan to deliver US strategic objectives.
Paper No. 6247 Dated 24-Apr-2017
Ahead of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sk. Hasina's visit (April 7-9), Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said "Your dream of golden Bangla is our dream too".

Resetting managerial mindsets
An international management masters program utilises a unique approach structured around five managerial mindsets (reflective, analytical, worldly, collaborative, action). The program breaks away from the traditional lecture format where the professor is considered the expert in the room, focusing instead on sessions that are designed to involve all participants, enabling them to transfer knowledge with their colleagues – and learning from each other's insights and suggestions.
- Institutions: Lancaster University Management School, McGill University
- Countries: UK, Canada, India, China and Brazil
- Program title: International Masters in Practicing Management (IMPM)
- Contact: Dora Koop
Focused on five managerial mindsets rather than functional competencies, the International Masters in Practicing Management (IMPM) is a program that encourages participants to consider their own business ambitions and issues from a variety of perspectives and does not rely on case studies. The mindsets (Reflective, Analytic, Worldly, Collaborative and Action) cultivate a participant's potential by fostering an on-going critical reflective practice based on their own situation and experiences.
The IMPM is delivered by business schools in five countries: England, Canada, India, China and Brazil. Each School hosts a 10-day module that is based on a different mindset and is designed around the actual experiences and needs of the participating managers and their organizations. Participants are recruited based on significant managerial practise and are expected to share competencies with each other based on their experience within the context of the concepts and frameworks presented by faculty.
Throughout the IMPM, learning takes the form of a constant exchange of ideas and insights, as executives move back and forth between management concepts and their experiences, reflecting upon them individually and together. The IMPM is international and focuses on the world around the manager: from a political, social, legal standpoint – in order that participants can explore different perspectives and gain a true appreciation of other perspectives. It is as Asian as it is European or American, offering participants an authentically cross-cultural experience, and by immersing participants in each culture creating deep insights.
Although each module is separate and distinct, and reflects the culture and business practices of the host country, the program as a whole is linked by the faculty from beginning to end as an integrated experience. Each cycle of IMPM has a director who leads the continuity of learning, and each participant belongs to a tutorial group whose tutor also supports the continuity of learning.
Several elements within the IMPM ground the learning for the participants and also enable them to have an impact within their organization. At each module the Participants spend time reflecting on their learning and journaling this within what is called their "Insight" book. As one past participant termed it, the "best management book she had ever read".
A second major element is IMpact. After every module each participant undertakes various activities that take the learning back to their colleagues and then also take some action on the learning. Some participants have a team within the organization with which they share the learning or undertake a project with their team. Reflection papers written after each module take into account the concepts learned, how they are applied and then what the learning has been from the actions taken.
Finally, between two of the modules each participant undertakes a management exchange, a process whereby participants are paired up and spend several days at each other's organization, sharing observations that provide feedback and insights from a fresh perspective.

There are literally thousands of travel apps available in the Google Play Store, but knowing which ones to download can be tricky. Here is a list of my favorite traveling apps that I personally use:.
- GasBuddy – You wouldn't pay more for gas if you knew it was $.10 cheaper down the road, would you; so, why pay an extra $.10 on vacation? GasBuddy relies on real users to enter real-time gas prices, so you can find the cheapest gas within a reasonable distance. Plus, users who enter gas prices, get entered into a drawing to win gift cards for gas.
2.Expedia – While there are many hotel and car booking apps available in Google Play, Expedia is my favorite because they make everything so easy plus their prices are guaranteed to be the best!* (While checking out, you may even search for a promo code and save even more on your hotel).
3.Google Maps – there's a reason Google Maps is already installed on most phones – because it is the best. Google Maps is a very accurate navigation tool that can estimate your arrival time, warn you of any delays and even show you an exact zoom of where you are going using Google Maps. In my years of traveling, there has only been one map I've been willing to trust and its this one because its so accurate.
4. Police Scanner – I may be pretty nosy, but when I am on vacation, I always like to know where the sirens are heading. The Police Scanner app allows you to listen to a real-time police scanner feed to hear what's going on.
5. Tripit – this app allows you to organize and share your travel plans. From storing your past trips to planning your upcoming trip, Tripit keeps everything you need organized and easy to find.
6. Vacation Countdown – While this app does not technically come in handy while on vacation, it does give you something to look forward to after booking your vacation. The Vacation Countdown app gives you a real countdown of how long you have before your trip.
Those are my favorite apps, what are yours?

Does "blizzard" have an official definition? The National Weather Service considers a storm to be a blizzard when it has winds of 35 mph or faster, low temperatures (no specific figure given), and sufficient snow in the air to reduce visibility to less than 0.25 miles. When such conditions are forecast to last at lest three hours the NWS issues a... »

From the afternoon of Friday, Feb. 5 through the afternoon of Tuesday Feb. 9, I spent roughly eight hours shoveling snow, thanks to the record-breaking "Snowmageddon" that brought two to three feet--in some cases even more--of snow to the Washington, D.C. area. Shoveling snow is a good time to think about the science of winter storms, ice, and even some basic... »

Aside from having two doors and luxurious cabins, the 2014 Cadillac ELR and the 2014 BMW 4 Series don't share much in common, but GM suggests in a WardsAuto report that the ELR may be cross-shopped with the 4 Series as well as the 6 Series Gran Coupe. The ELR is like few other cars on the market, and with pricing starting at $75,000 (before destination), in today's TOTD from SickSeries GT we wonder what other premium vehicles will be cross-shopped with the extended-range plug-in hybrid coupe.The BMW 435i xDrive starts just below the $50,000 mark, but checking every option box quickly brings the price into the upper $60,000 range, while the larger 640i coupe and 640i Gran Coupe start in the mid-$70,000 range. Technology junkies may also consider the full electric Tesla Model S that also starts just above $70,000 before any government incentives.Like the BMW 435i, the Mercedes-Benz C350 coupe's base price can quickly climb when fully optioned. The Mercedes E350 coupe starts just above $50,000. Jaguar offers the XK8 from around $80,000 and the new $65,895 2014 F-Type coupe close to the Cadillac ELR coupe's price range.What premium cars will be cross-shopped with the 2014 Cadillac ELR?

Drumthwacket to Shine Blue on Tuesday, March 21 to Mark World Down Syndrome Day
"I am pleased to once again lead the Light the Way initiative, and to have so many First Spouses creatively participating in the program this year to show 'We Care'," said First Lady Mary Pat Christie. "During my term as First Lady, I've truly been inspired by the multitude of outstanding privately led initiatives that make a difference in communities across our state and nation. Today, as a result of non-profit groups such as the LuMind Research Down Syndrome Foundation, many cutting edge advances are occurring that will increase life opportunities for individuals with Down syndrome and I am proud our participation is contributing to this effort."
Additionally, Governor Christie has proclaimed March 21, 2017 as Down Syndrome Day in New Jersey. Later in the evening, Drumthwacket, the Governor's official residence in Princeton, will be illuminated in blue to symbolize Mrs. Christie's support of Down syndrome cognitive research.
Among the participants in the 2017 Light the Way campaign are First Spouses and Governors from Alaska, American Samoa, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, U.S. Virgin Islands, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming and Virginia. The First Spouses will be demonstrating their support, for example, by lighting a prominent state monument blue, issuing a proclamation in support of Down syndrome, wearing blue or tying a blue bow around their State House door.
March 21 is particularly meaningful to the Light the Way campaign because Down syndrome results from the presence of three copies of chromosome 21. Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal disorder. It affects over 400,000 Americans with approximately 6,000 babies born with Down syndrome each year. Down syndrome occurs in approximately one in every 691 births.
Since the inception of the Light the Way initiative in 2011, there have been numerous breakthroughs in Down syndrome cognition research. Advances include discovering connections between Down syndrome and Alzheimer's disease. Moreover, the research funded by the LuMind Research Down Syndrome Foundation may also hold promise for preventing or delaying cognitive decline in the Alzheimer's disease community. Additionally, under the guidance of former Chief Scientific Officer, Michael Harpold, Ph.D., the Foundation has created a pipeline of research discoveries that has led to several clinical trials, including an innovative partnership with the National Institutes of Health and AC Immune.
