PISCATAWAY, N.J. (April 10, 2012) – Rutgers University baseball had two innings of at least six runs to run away from visiting Fordham University, 15-4, on Tuesday at Bainton Field. Sophomore Pat Sweeney (Sparta, N.J.), junior Patrick Kivlehan (West Nyack, N.Y.) and freshman Matt Ackerman (Sparta, N.J.) each recorded three hits to spearhead the offensive onslaught. It was the biggest margin of victory for the Scarlet Knights this season.
In his first career start, Ackerman went 3-for-4 with two runs and two RBIs, while Sweeney scored three times with his trio of hits to provide a spark from the last two spots in the batting order. Kivlehan connected for his team-leading seventh home run of the season in the second inning and registered at least three RBIs in a game for the fourth time this year.
Junior Pat O'Leary (Sparta, N.J.) (1-0) earned his first win as a Scarlet Knight with five effective innings on the hill. The right-hander scattered seven hits and two earned runs, while picking up five strikeouts.
After falling behind 1-0 after one inning, Rutgers (16-15) exploded for its biggest frame of the season in the second, scoring eight times to take a commanding advantage. Kivlehan led off with a towering home run to left field to tie the score and sophomore Michael Zavala (Randolph, N.J.) followed with a ringing double to right-center. After a sacrifice bunt, junior Bill Hoermann (Toms River, N.J.) put the ball in play for an RBI fielder's choice to give RU the lead.
The rally continued on single by Sweeney to put two on base. Following a wild pitch, Ackerman connected for his first career base knock to bring home two on a double. Sophomore Brian O'Grady (Warminster, Pa.) walked and classmate Nick Favatella (Washington Township, N.J.) singled to continue the outburst, all coming around on a bases-clearing double by junior Steve Zavala (Randolph, N.J.). Kivlehan subsequently laced a single up the middle to bring in Zavala for his second hit and RBI of the inning to cap the eruption of eight runs and seven hits.
RU tacked on a run in the third on a passed ball to stretch the lead to 9-1. Sweeney hit a leadoff double and moved up on a fly ball by Ackerman, sprinting home on the miscue behind the plate.
Ryan Maghini connected for a two-run homer off O'Leary for the Rams (14-19) in the fifth to cut the deficit to six and added another on a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning.
However, the Scarlet Knights put up six runs in the seventh to break the game open.
Sweeney and Ackerman reached via a walk and a single, respectively, to put the pressure on and moved up on a groundout. The shortstop came home on a wild pitch for the first run of the rally. Favatella recorded his 24th RBI of the season with a single through the left side to chase home Ackerman. Two batters later, Kivlehan knocked in Favatella with Steve Zavala, who had singled, moving into scoring position. Sophomore Joe D'Annunzio (Scotch Plains, N.J.) had the only extra base hit of the rally when he hit a two-run triple to the gap in left-center, his second of the season. Freshman Andres Vazquez (Iselin, N.J.) added an RBI single to finish off the frame, in which six runs and seven hits were recorded.
The pitching trio of sophomore Charlie Lasky (Freehold, N.J.), senior Willie Beard (Spotswood, N.J.) and junior Sam Hasty (Brooklyn, N.Y.) finished out the game with four innings of stellar relief. Hasty retired the final batter on a groundout to seal the win and moved RU over .500 once again.
Jonathan Reich (0-3) took the loss for Fordham with five innings pitched. Maghini led the visitors with three hits and three runs.
Rutgers finishes out its season-long homestand with a three-game series against BIG EAST opponent West Virginia, starting on Friday at 3 p.m. at Bainton Field.

Business Ideas in the News / November 27, 2009
A group of 47 women spanning a five-county area are working toward making Christmas merry for nearly 500 residents in the area.
Angela Greer, Mary Kay cosmetic consultant, said the women participating are excited about the group's plans.
"We call ourselves the 'Pink Posse' because of Mary Kay," Greer said. "We are so excited about this and actually, a little nervous at the same time."
Greer said a smaller group of consultants took on the work of providing gifts for residents at West Gate Village nursing home last Christmas.
Greer said residents at nursing homes in Brewton, Atmore, Century, Robertsdale and Monroeville will benefit from the work being done by the Posse.

The Huffington Post has obtained the transcript of a 2000 phone call made by pro-life Congressman Scott DesJarlais of Tennessee, in which he pressured his former mistress to have an abortion.
In the call DesJarlais asks his lover to terminate a pregnancy.
"You told me you'd have an abortion, and now we're getting too far along without one," he tells the woman who he met when she was a patient of his.
They also discuss whether he will accompany her to the clinic for the aforementioned procedure.
"You told me you would have time to go with me and everything," she says.
"I said, if I could, I would, didn't I? And I will try," he replies. "If I can [find] time, you're saying you still will?"
Let me guess: he was a special exception because his abortion was the only moral abortion?
Oooh, let's see how he's voted on abortion issues in the past!
Yes on the Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act
Yes on barring Obamacare from covering abortions
Yes on prohibiting federal funding for abortion
Yes on defunding Planned Parenthood
What a sack of shit. And yes, she was his patient. Unbelievable.
You disgusting motherfucker. Words fail me…
The Onion again FTW:
"Hell, look at me: I'm a public relations nightmare," said Gingrich, adding that, for many years in the late '90s and early 2000s, his name was basically a punch line. "Remember that whole thing with me divorcing my wife while she was still in the hospital recovering from cancer? For my campaign's sake, I hope people have forgotten about that. But c'mon, it's a pretty bleak political landscape when the presidential campaign of a known philanderer is actually getting off the ground."
Mark Kebler, campaign strategist and loyal aide to Gingrich for the past 20 years, strongly agreed that a Newt Gingrich presidential run "would be some really depressing shit, for sure."
"Interestingly enough, it's not just about Newt's slim chances, polarizing character, irritating voice, or lack of charisma," Kebler said. "When you get right down to it, Newt Gingrich just kind of sucks. When I tell people I work for him, they give me this look, and I'm just like, 'Yeah, yeah, believe me, I know.'"
Even winning the Republican nomination would be "a downer," Gingrich said, since he would then have to select a running mate every bit as lame as he is, such as Tim Pawlenty or Michele Bachmann.

Monopoly. You've played the game.
All your wage are belong to rent.
I would just look for an entry point, they might drop a bit more not sure. The way I am planning on playing this one is to buy on the next dip and turn on div reinvestment and let it ride. I have about 20-30 of these picks active on here right now and in the end it is just not likely that they will lose to the market. just depends on your time horizon if you want it slow and steady or if you want to look for other ways--maybe growth stocks. What so many people forget though is to use covered calls with these types of picks--strong div, covered call, plus cap gains=10-15% a year.
British Wal-Mart
Basically the Walmart of Europe and expanding in other countries.... if you don't understand how awesome of a company Walmart has been you should not invest money on your own......... ever. This is a pick were I am not looking @ short term earnings growth because there will be none. This is a market leader pick.....brand name also. You have a huge dividend while u wait. I am confident this company will be making a lot more money 5 to 10 years from now and the stock price will be way higher also.
Nice review of Tesco by Matt Koppenheffer (6/13/12) noting that Buffet has increased his stake significantly. I take that as a bullish sign.
Solid growth outside the UK, huge overreaction over a slight drop in uk market share, expect a gradual correction over the coming years with a nice 4.5% divi along the way
when the market ignores a stock is sometimes a good time not too
U.K. Big box giant with 30% market share has been yelled at by Wall Street for underperforming in their homeland. While their at-home operations can, and I think will, improve, their international operations are growing nicely and see no signs of slowing down.
Simple, profitable business, good corporate reputation and good dividend yield. Possible overseas expanstion may yield growth but a good income producer even if not.
Tesco is the 800-pound gorilla of British grocers: a roaring, chest-thumping giant in a green apron, aggressively discounting its way through the retail jungle. While its market share (30% !) and margins are likely to continue to erode at home, the reason to buy Tesco after its January fall is for its international prospects (the more than 4% dividend doesn't hurt either). Shares are priced for perpetual mediocrity. It's been interesting to see Warren Buffett, never a fan of diworsification for its own sake, choosing Tesco over Wal-Mart/Alda as a home for Berkshire capital.
Warren Buys More
Long haul buy and hold staple
The top retailer in Britain is doubling their stores in China and most likely to have winning bid on Carrefour's Southeast Asia supermarkets.,in an effort to keep up their growth. They are also an innovator in their multiline stores and more creative than Walmart in providing ancilliary services, such as financial and Video.Warren. Their corp bonds were amoung the best returns ths past year in the global bond market affirming this companies strength. even when they mis-step, they correct it quickly as evidenced in the closing of 8% of their 168 Fresh Direct stores in the US. Buffett (BRK.A)added to his stake in July and owns 3% of the company now.
Old hat
Mmm...grocery shopping online...
Well managed company. I like it !
The prices are going up people are not taking the risks

Virginity making a comeback, government data says

WASHINGTON (BP)--A growing number of teenagers and young adults are virgins, according to a study by the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics described as "the largest and most in-depth federal report to date on sexual behavior" in the United States.
What's more, the mainstream media is recognizing that the trend may be attributable in part to abstinence education. An Associated Press article stated, "... perhaps emphasis on abstinence in the past decade has had some influence."
According to the CDC report released March 3, 27 percent of men and 29 percent of women ages 15-24 have never had a sexual encounter, up from 22 percent for both men and women in a 2005 survey based on 2002 data. An increase from 22 percent to 27 percent among men is a gain of 5 percentage points, or in other words a 5/22 increase or almost 23 percent jump. The difference for women was even more pronounced: 29 percent compared to 22 percent is a 7 percentage point change or 7/22 increase which equates to about 32 percent more.
In the most recent study, based on data from 2006-08, 68 percent of boys and 67 percent of girls ages 15-17 have never had sexual intercourse, and 53 percent of boys and 58 percent of girls age 15-17 had no sexual contact of any kind. In 2002, only 46 percent of boys and 49 percent of girls in that age range reported no experience.
Valerie Huber, executive director of the National Abstinence Education Association, said the CDC report challenges the wisdom of recent federal funding cuts to abstinence education.
"One hundred sixty-nine abstinence education programs lost funding and over 1 million students lost access to the very programs that can support and encourage the positive trends represented by this data," Huber said, referring to funding cuts that began with the 2010 federal budget.
"If we are serious about decreasing teen sexual activity, we need to use the data to instruct public policy. Funding priority should be given to programs that support this healthy trend rather than capitulating to those who want to normalize sex among teens and simply offer contraception as a solution," Huber said. "The data renders null and void the 'abstinence is unrealistic' claims made by anti-abstinence advocacy groups."
The nation's sex education priorities should seek to further improve the numbers reflected in the study, Huber said, by providing teenagers with programs that help them successfully postpone sex.
"We must insure programs that support sexual risk avoidance are available to as many youth as possible," she said.
The data is based on interviews with about 13,500 males and females between ages 15 and 44, including more than 5,000 ages 15-24. Respondents gave their answers on computers in an effort to promote honesty.
Richard Ross, co-founder of the True Love Waits abstinence movement, told Baptist Press he sees more value in promoting the positive aspects of postponing sexual activity versus scaring teenagers into obedience.
"Those in the abstinence-until-marriage movement tell teenagers we have great faith in their ability to make promises and keep promises. We tell them we believe in them," Ross, a professor of student ministry at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, said. "We show them powerful advantages that come with living in moral purity. We surround them with peers and significant adults who support them in purity promises.
"On the other hand, those in the so-called comprehensive sex education movement put disease and pregnancy prevention front and center," Ross said. "This suggests to the teenagers that leaders have little confidence they can remain abstinent. In fact, if abstinence is mentioned in those programs, it often is presented as an afterthought. So, the question is, 'Which of those two movements seems more responsible for the fact that more and more students are choosing abstinence?'"
Also in the study, just 1.1 percent of women and 1.7 percent of men identified themselves as homosexual.
Anjani Chandra, a health scientist at NCHS and lead author of the study, said the increase in virginity could be attributed to messages about abstinence.
Last year the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released a report showing that a majority of teenagers support premarital abstinence in general and for themselves.
The National Survey of Adolescents and Their Parents also found that about 70 percent of parents were opposed to premarital sex both in general and for their own teenagers, and most parents favored their adolescents receiving abstinence messages from multiple sources.
Ordered from most preferred to least preferred, parents in the survey favored abstinence messages delivered at a place of worship (85 percent), a doctor's office or health center (85 percent), school (83 percent), a community organization (71 percent) and the Internet (55 percent), HHS said.
Adolescent frequency of attending religious services was strongly associated with more conservative general views about sex and abstinence among adolescents, as well as more restrictive views about their own sexual behavior, the report said.
The National Abstinence Education Association is calling on Congress to reinstate abstinence education as a community-based approach in the 2012 federal budget.
"The data is clearly siding in favor of a renewed priority on the risk avoidance abstinence education approach ... and it just happens also to be the healthiest option for teens," Huber said.

The ad reads, "Alternative thinking: ideals to action," and shows a young woman with purple hair, dark lipstick, a fuzzy sweater and a tattoo on her leg. Shes looking down and smiling, apparently thinking alternative thoughts and happy with her outfit. Weve never seen her around campus.
Graphic designer Mike Mihelich assured us that we have. "We asked ourselves, Is this someone that weve seen on campus? And the answer is yes."
Actually, the answer is no.
This girl doesnt attend St. Olaf. Shes not even a model media relations hired the photo was purchased for the ad. Amy Gage, media relations director, said that they had only a week to prepare the ad, and therefore couldnt use a St. Olaf student.
Speaking from experience, we know it would have been possible to do a quick photo shoot with a student and get it off to the magazine in time. As a former journalist, Gage should know weve made tighter deadlines than that. Maybe it was just a little bit easier for them to buy the girl. If that is the reason, tell us. We will still criticize the choice, but dont lie.
Maybe we dont have a girl with a tattoo on her leg, but why fake diversity and alternative thinking? St. Olaf should not limit the diversity of future students by suggesting a universal look, but they are limiting themselves by connecting the word "alternative" to a female model who typifies societys stereotype of "alternative" in the way she is dressed. This would be bad enough if it were one of our own students, but at least media relations could have claimed that they just randomly picked the kid. Using the model, though, it is obvious that they consciously perpetuated this stereotype.
The ad might work. It might be a great marketing ploy on the part of the college, and may draw in hundreds of alterna-girls and boys to our lily white, Abercrombie-infested school. We do need more diversity. The morals behind the ad, however, are flawed, and the ends do not justify the means.
Maybe we can find solace in the slogan. Marketing specialist Paul Pfeiffer said that media relations attempted to convey President Thomfordes message that we have "a responsibility to action." "That is the key component," Pfeiffer said. "Action." Nowhere in this ad do we see action being taken. We see a girl posing as a St. Olaf student, looking "alternative." Is media relations trying to say that were taking action if we get a tattoo? Or how about if we misrepresent our school? Is that taking action?
Were not sure where we stand, but media relations, youve got one down, one to go. Maybe Big Jeffs Tattoo will hold an "I want to be alternative like that girl" sale.

Once they removed Path of the Titans, they should have also removed archaeology.
The best thing they can do is just make it super ezmode for achievement hunters, so that it doesn't become the insane grind that fishing is. One ridiculous tertiary profession achievement grind is enough for an MMO, in my opinion. (I'm including pets and mounts in terms of the achievement hunters, so what I'm saying is make all those low percentage drops way easier to obtain.)
The next best thing would be to remove it from the game completely.
The unrealistic thing that I bet we all hope they would do is get Path of the Titans back in the game, and completely overhaul archaeology to match up with that system, but it doesn't seem like that will happen any time soon, if ever.
Path of the Titans to the best of my knowledge would have basically been another tier of glyphs, and ones that would have had utility or a throughput impact.
Therefore it would have been another mandatory progression, something which would have been expected of you and something you would have been judged upon.
I have no doubt also that there would have been good and bad choices of the "faction" or group you chose to support or follow for the above reasons.
Archaeology is entirely optional, and offers no significant benefits that would dictate that you take the profession to benefit your end-game performance.
We did not need another forced grind.

Antique Edwardian furniture was produced during the reign of Edward the VII between 1901 and 1910. Edwardian Furniture was mainly reproductions of older styles. Arts and crafts furniture was still popular, but was starting to decline as the desire for new reproduction furniture grew. Art Nouveau furniture was in high demand, people liked the curving, elongated lines, leaf and flower motifs, and floral feminine figures. The styles of Chippendale and Hepplewhite were also extremely popular.

We can all be heros! We share many of the same insecurities and fears, so why do some people take action while others continue to look away?
Heros aren't born, they're just like any of us. Fearful. Worried. Distracted. Reluctant. Everyday people who find themselves in extraordinary situations. The difference happens when we do something about it. Sometimes it's instinctive, like protecting a friend from being bullied or put down. Other times it gets to a point that we just can't look the other way any longer.
When we watch movies, why are we drawn to the reluctant hero? The one who has to overcome his own fears and issues and doubts before standing up to face adversity. It's because that hero is a reflection of us. We can be that hero, too. There are thousands of opportunities around us all the time. We just have to open our eyes and our hearts to see that we're needed and believe that we can make a difference. It's as simple as taking that first step. Once you start, you can't help but do more.
I'd appreciate hearing your perspectives, and stories of everyday heros who stepped out of their everyday lives to make a difference.

tishe Hires 10+Dec 31 2011: Hi Mr. Morry, you hit it on the very idea! "It's as simple as taking that first step"
Our own, hero's depend on our role models. My hero, is my mom. I am lucky. She had a bad time. She pulled her as-- out of her head, then decided to raise kids. It was not easy, I remember that! She is my hero. :)

USAT Liberty was a United States Army transport ship torpedoed by Japanese submarine I-166 in January 1942 and beached on the island of Bali. She had been built as a design 1037 ship for the United States Shipping Board during World War I and had served in the United States Navy during that conflict as animal transport USS Liberty (ID-3461). She was also notable as the first ship constructed at Federal Shipbuilding, Kearny, New Jersey. In 1963 a volcanic eruption moved the ship off the beach, and Liberty's wreck is now a popular dive site.
Liberty was launched on 19 June 1918 by the Federal Shipbuilding Company in Kearny, New Jersey, and acquired by the United States Navy on 7 October 1918 and commissioned the same day with Lieutenant Commander Charles Longbottom in command. Assigned to the Naval Overseas Transportation Service, Liberty departed the New York Navy Yard on 24 October 1918, arriving at Brest, France, with her cargo of horses on 8 November. Over the next 6 months, Liberty made two additional cruises from New York to France discharging both animal and general cargo at French ports. Loaded with 436 tons of U.S. Army cargo and 2,072 tons of steel rails, Liberty arrived at Newport News, Virginia, on 30 April 1919 from her final cruise. She was decommissioned there on 7 May and was returned to the United States Shipping Board the same day.

Click above for live shots of the Golf TDI Hybrid from Geneva
While scoping out the new Scirocco, we also spotted Volkswagen's slick new VW Golf TDI Hybrid concept. Looking lightly less racy than the new coupe to its left, this little economy powerhouse focuses on high mpg rather than high mph. As we just told you yesterday-ish, the car pairs a 75 PS (74 HP) three-cylinder TDI with a 27 HP electric motor and routes it through a 7-speed DSG to average a staggering 69 mpg (3.4l/100km) in the European cycle. And it also addresses emissions concerns with carbon dioxide rating of just under 90 g/km. V-Dub didn't expound upon the TDI Hybrid at length in their press release, but we've posted the excerpt that pertains to VW's miserly Golf after the jump.
Besides the impressive stats, our favorite bits are the wheel inserts that help improve aerodynamics in a way that somewhat reminded us of the Ferrari F1 car. Kudos, VeeDub and please bring it Stateside asap.

With its Golf TDI Hybrid, Volkswagen demonstrates the potential inherent in the combination of a high-tech diesel engine, an electric motor and 7-speed DSG technology. On show for the first time in the world at the Geneva Motor Show, the concept car consumes no more than 3.4 litres of diesel fuel per 100 kilometres. The powerful full-hybrid Golf TDI Hybrid can be run either in internal-combustion mode only or in mixed operation – the powerful yet thrifty combination of TDI and electric motor. The car is also designed to run on emissions-free electric power only. Power transmission to the front axle is managed by a 7-speed DSG gearbox. In city traffic, the automatic stop-start system will even switch off the turbo-diesel when the vehicle is stationary.

The pressing energy issue in the 2008 presidential campaign was how to reduce carbon emissions and limit global warming. Four years later, the drive for "green energy" has been replaced by a new imperative: the need to end US dependence on foreign oil.
"I will set a national goal of North American energy independence by 2020," Mitt Romney declared during a campaign speech in August. "That means we produce all the energy we use in North America."
He reiterated that goal in the opening minutes of the presidential candidates' debate in Denver this week.
President Obama is not far behind, though his interest in "energy security" is somewhat muted by concerns over the environmental impact of fossil fuel production. The Obama plan would cut oil imports in half by 2020.
The rationale is obvious. With a secure energy supply of its own, the United States would be less affected by instability in the Middle East and elsewhere. Indeed, every president since Richard Nixon has touted a plan for energy independence.
Dependence On Foreign Oil Declining
The revived emphasis on this goal in the current campaign reflects a sense that U.S. self-sufficiency in energy has become a more realistic goal today than at any point in decades, due to a domestic energy boom.
The heightened tumult in Iran, Iraq, Libya, and other countries, meanwhile, has underscored the danger of depending on Middle Eastern oil suppliers.
Romney and Obama, however, have starkly different approaches to the problem of achieving energy self-sufficiency.
Romney would boost production by extending a helping hand to energy companies, promising a relaxation of environmental restrictions on exploration and production, a green light on infrastructure projects such as the Keystone pipeline, and more permits to drill for oil and gas on federal lands.
For energy advice, Romney turns to oil executives like Harold Hamm, chairman of Continental Resources.
In testimony before the House Energy and Commerce Committee last month, Hamm said oil companies are facing an "onslaught" of new environmental regulations that raise production costs without producing "a commensurate level of environmental benefit."
He noted that his own company tries "as much as possible to avoid [drilling on] federal land," concentrating on private property instead. He cited the Obama Administration's "policies and restrictions," saying Continental had waited as long as "two to three years" to get permission to drill on federal land, whether onshore or offshore.
Domestic Production Rising
In fact, petroleum production in the United States during President Obama's first three years in office jumped by 24 percent, while oil imports declined by a similar amount.
In the first eight months of 2012, imports accounted for just 42 percent of the total oil consumed in the United States, the lowest figure in more than 20 years.
The Romney team, however, says the jump in U.S. energy production occurred almost entirely on private land and had little or nothing to do with the Obama Administration's energy policies.
Independent analysts generally agree, saying the energy bonanza has largely been due to new technology and techniques like hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, with high oil prices providing a further incentive to expand production.
On the other hand, Romney argues, new federal policies could spur even more oil production, on private as well as government land, because energy companies are more likely to invest in new U.S. ventures when they see a U.S. president signaling he will accommodate energy production.
That view makes sense, says Daniel Ahn, chief commodity economist at Citicorp.
"I would posit that if whoever is in the White House next year leans toward a more supply-friendly scenario," Ahn says, "there will be great [investor] interest, and likely the markets will respond."
For his part, Obama has welcomed the new domestic energy production and promises to support it during a second term.
"I want us to control our own energy destiny," he declared during a speech last March in Cushing, Okla. "So, yes, we're going to keep on drilling. Yes, we're going to keep on emphasizing production."
A Different Emphasis
The Obama plan, however, focuses relatively less on increasing the supply of domestic oil and more on reducing domestic demand. In that Oklahoma speech, the president argued that more drilling alone would not necessarily make the United States more energy secure.
"Even if we drilled every little bit of this great country of ours," he said, "we'd still have to buy the rest of our needs from someplace else if we keep on using the same amount of energy, the same amount of oil."
Energy analysts like Citicorp's Ahn says Obama makes a good argument. The progress in moving toward energy self-sufficiency, Ahn points out, has not come just from the boost in oil production.
"A less heralded but potentially even more important factor has been [a] decline in U.S. oil consumption," Ahn says. "That's also helping achieve, quote unquote, energy independence."
One factor explaining this decline in oil consumption is that our cars are now more fuel efficient - thanks in large part to fuel efficiency standards backed by the Obama Administration.
Romney wants to relax those standards. The Obama plan would also reduce the demand for oil by boosting energy alternatives like wind, solar, and natural gas.
Behind the differences of emphasis in their energy plans lie other noteworthy policy differences. Romney would eliminate tax credits and other subsidies for the wind and solar industries. Obama would continue them.
The Obama plan, on the other hand, calls for eliminating tax breaks for the oil industry. The Romney plan would keep those.
Greater energy security is the goal in both the Obama and Romney plans, though by different routes, at different speeds, and with different collateral consequences.

I finish editing the last photo today. I've spent lots of my free time the last month selecting the best 200+ photos (out of the almost 4,000 dear husband took) of our community theater's production of Seussical. Tomorrow, I'll send them out to the cast & crew (dh refers to this as my "love letter to everyone involved," which I guess it is)(they're a wonderful group of people!).
Today, I've been feeling emotionally flat after finishing. I spent a lot of time this afternoon playing computer games. It was too hot & humid (or rainy) to do much outside. This evening, I finally checked in with some of the blogs I read regularly - most of which I haven't read since rehearsals got busy back in early July.
Don't Eat Alone had a music post, summersong, in early August, which included some favorites of mine (Nanci Griffith and the Indigo Girls) and some wonderful songs I haven't heard before. My favorite of those is Windows are Rolled Down by Amos Lee:
New music woke up the rest of my mind again!
[I'm not posting any of the other 200+ photos, but here's my current Facebook photo. I was a bird girl - such a fun costume, and I had fun acting with the other bird girls!]

Last weekend, we got lots of rain, which has resulted in lots of mushrooms. We went for a hike at Occoneechee Mountain this morning. I didn't want to try anyone's patience so I didn't take photos of every different type of mushroom (close to a dozen), but here are a few that were very unusual, and a box turtle which had been eating one.
You can get a better view of the partly eaten mushroom in this one:

I don't know if it's because of the unusually long and cold winter we had, or if it was because I couldn't sing or dance this spring so gardening was my major creative outlet, but I have been enjoying the gardens more than usual this year. Here are a few things that have been blooming lately:
Hibiscus and phlox - Except for Osmocote, I don't usually use anything artificial on the gardens. However, small caterpillars and beetles have been decimating the hibiscus leaves so I finally bought and used Neem last week.
A small hibiscus (or hibiscus relative) - this one is very healthy
Daisies and phlox
Asiatic lily and bee balm (the lily is what made me decide to take pictures of the garden!)
Bee balm!

The second phase of Hillsborough's Riverwalk recently opened so dear husband and I took a walk there this weekend. It's very well made and quite lovely. We will walk there often!
I love boardwalks! (view from the parking deck)
View of the Eno River from the bridge
View back towards the parking deck
View of the river from a bench. It's wonderful to have this so close to the center of town (we had breakfast at the Weaver St. Market before our walk).
For now, this bridge is the end of the walk. There's another boardwalk that will connect it with the trail at Gold Park, but that's not finished yet. Eventually, the Riverwalk Trail will go to Occoneechee* Mountain to the west and to Ayr Mount and the Occoneechee Speedway to the east.

I haven't posted here in so long. It's been a busy, eventful spring year. Here's a brief rundown:
Here are some more of the photos I took in mid-May for Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day:
This rose bush is doing unusually well this year.
I could see these pansies from the window next to the computer.
I often eat breakfast while sitting on the front porch steps. This was the view. The daisies in the background escaped from the bed behind them years ago as did the purple mazus in the grass on the right.
A close-up of the daisies and the mazus
The mountain laurel is one of my favorite bushes.
I took a number of photos of the columbines. This is the only one that came out well. They're hard to photograph.
Mountain bluet
Yellow flag iris
These daisies have escaped from the bed into the drainage ditch between our house and the neighbors'.
This columbine photo turned out well.
I'm so happy to see the fairy wand (Chamaelirium luteum) blooming! I've always loved seeing it in the Mountain Habitat Garden at the NC Botanical Garden in Chapel Hill, and I was able to buy it there two years ago.
Coreopsis "Jethro Tull" - a perfect plant for me since I play the flute! The only large pop/rock concert I ever went to was a Jethro Tull concert in Boston in 1980.

I wish I'd taken photos for this last weekend. The tulips and narcissus were in full bloom. We had a front come through today, and the rain pushed most of them sideways. Here's a relatively short set of photos for an April Bloom Day:
The columbines just started blooming.
Narcissus and tulips
The view from the kitchen table
The dogwoods aren't blooming as profusely this year. This one has the most blooms of any in the yard.
The view from the library window
Some of the happiest flowers, right now, are the ones that have escaped from the flower beds into the grass - like this mazus.
This ajuga also is happy in the lawn.
The leopard's bane is escaping into the yard too.
Usually, this azalea bush is covered with flowers - but not this year.
Happy violets in the grass
When I open the blinds in the bedroom, this view of the dogwood flowers makes me very happy.

Children's schools should have an "Imagination" period
I feel,When you Imagine things, You create things.All new innovative things starts with an imagination.
Most of the people now are so engrossed in their day to day lives and their perspective have become so narrow, they hardly question things which then stops innovation.
A session/class/period where Children given a random abstract/real world topic/situation, should imagine things in their own way as they see it in their world and explain how they have interpreted it to the class.This would help expand their imaginative skill and hence creativity and would generate more ideas. And when they grow they would cultivate this as a habit and apply their ideas in the real world.

May 28 2012: I appreciate the sentiment, that creativity should be encouraged, but would suggest that the whole curriculum should move towards a creative approach, the work of "Creative Minds" social enterprise in the UK has been developing creative curricula in primary schools in the UK.
Perhaps designating a time to creativity risks fostering an idea that it is not mainstream to b creative.
Good teachers build on innate creativity, rules delete it. Sausage and trifle is excellent food until you are told it's "wrong".
PS- try it...
May 29 2012: Christopher, that is great what the U.K i has to develop creativity. I checked out a web site:
Ho did you learn about this project? Or do you live in U.K?
Is it? http://www.creativemindsltd.co.uk/ . If so , I love that!!!
Thank you!
Jun 1 2012: Christopher, sausage and trifle may be the best thing anyone has ever tasted as long as they have the creative confidence to try them paired together. I think that creative confidence is something that should be cherished and built up in schools by taking the time to listen to the child. I know that I am most engaged and alive in a classroom when my voice and ideas are heard. Classrooms need to welcome new ideas rather than having a rack for students to rest their creative caps when they walk in the door.

live forever just because i can't stand the thought of dieing...
I would like to be rich and famous, cos' eternal life would kinda suck after 200-400years.
But still being famous has the cons too, being famous is equal to having no
privacy at all, everything you do is written is tomorrow newspaper.
Rich and famous.
Immortality is overrated. After awhile, you'd have done everything. Also, I don't want to be around when the Earth is finally sucked back into the sun. ^_^u
Also, I imagine that life is a lot like high school or college. When you first get there, you can't imagine ever leaving, but by the time you get to the end, you're ready to move on. I feel that by the time my body is ready to shut down, I'll be ready for it.
Honestly though, if I were rich and famous, I could do things for people. I could help a lot of people with the "rich" and encourage others to do the same with the "famous".
After awhile i'll be tired of living (Im not Suicidal)Quote:

I would like to stay rich because if I live forever, it'll be hard to cope up with my ancient body XD
Rich and famous...
I wouldnt like to be immortle because i would always wonder what happens when you die and i wouldnt even be able to commit suicide!! Beside one lifetime is enough to do the things you want to do and being rich will help:P Living forever would get kinda boring...
I wont want to live forever in this shitty world
and I hate the rich and famous...they have a high tendency going to hell
I just want to be me, myself

this picture should have more then the amounts of notes it has, this shows us that not ever thing is "picture perfect" and that behind that smile and those eyes there is fear . So i beg you to please reblog this instead of a pair of shoes, someone smoking a blunt, and clothes … because this picture is literally worth 1,000 words
This is insanely powerful.
As someone who grew up in an abusive household, I will never fucking fail to reblog this. People pull bullshit all the time over people getting abused. They make it to where it's covered up, the victim's fault, or they don't care about it. This is happening RIGHT NOW and could be happening to your own neighbor, mother, sister, brother, grandparents, teachers, mail-deliverer. Anyone. IT is a nightmare.
If I remember correctly this is a norwegian newspaper commercial about speaking up for the weaker ones.
the fact that there's only about 5000 people who've reblogged this scares me. That means that less that 5000 people know where these come from.
I feel old…
very odd
literally every person on earth has read the very hungry caterpillar
This is my baby's nursery theme!!!
go into your garage, take that dirty ass rake that you think you remember using to fend off a stray animal once, and cook your fucking food on it, you piece of shit pleb. eat off the fuckin thing while you're at it. rake = giant fork. LIFE HACK..
Yeah…geezus guys. How gross. Just go back to using that stick you found in the woods. So much better.
