Spoek Mathambo/Big K.R.I.T.
Think Positive--Or Not
Spoek Mathambo: Father Creeper (Sub Pop)
Although I slotted this Soweto-raised 27-year-old's 2010 Mshini Wam as promising kwaito electro, I never imagined it promised a hip-hop record so dark it reveals his labelmate Shabazz Palaces for the arty pothead we can assume he is. Contra the nervous crits who claim to hear a "palpable feeling of hope" or "summery highlife melodies" (highlife, eh? I've heard of that‑-African, right?), even the sweet opener about the sexual maturation of a guy who was feeling it before his pubes came in ends ominously. After that come evocations of oppression only more brutal because they're sometimes dissociated‑-blood diamonds, why we hate our crap jobs, the deadening surrender of the tricking American hip-hop makes light of. The music suits because it's also dissociated‑-beaty enough to keep your foot tapping and your subconscious involved, but devoid of the escapist joy that is the miracle of so much Afropop produced from equally horrendous daily struggles.

Big K.R.I.T.: 4Eva N a Day (free download)
He was just Kritikal, but the Mississippi underground had trouble pronouncing that word‑-check out the consonant-averse "1986" intro to understand why‑-so he made it Big K.R.I.T., claimed it stood for King Remembered in Time, and continued a rapping career that imagined high school coaching as a fallback. No hip-hopper has ever been bigger on getting up when you're down and making every minute count. Could get tiresome, but on a no-cameos mixtape Def Jam couldn't clear, his proudly drawled, lucidly conceived preachments go undefeated. Almost every soulful track grew on me, with the clincher "Down & Out," one of his periodic explanations of why sometimes he sips and smokes instead of trying yet again. A MINUS
Non-singles artists who incongruously got votes for 3 or more songs: The Shins, The Wrens*, Drive-By Truckers, Todd Snider, Richard Thompson
I guess I'm (one of) the villain(s) since I voted for 4 of the 5, and even started to listen to The Shins but gave it up after my list got full and comfortable. Todd got 4 mentions from me, including two stories. Thanks for putting up with our barely ordered thinking, Patrick.
#1 is easy to guess (20 votes and 1 runner-up mention out of 22 voters)
I almost didn't vote for "Hey Ya" for exactly that reason. It almost seems like a wasted vote if there was something else worth mentioning. But I could never leave alone how insanely catchy it still is, years later. Undeniable.
This list is not in order of preference. Befitting a list of individual tracks, this is the way I would program them for a mix tape, play list or radio show. The Todd Snider edits really work, including when the whole thing replays -- "And this features the hottest guitar work I can do/1, 2, 3, oh/My baby don't mess around . . ."
Hey Ya – Outkast

This all started when you slated me into a "twisted little cult that wastes time fawning over deeply wretched (music)." I agree that your quote might apply to what Steven Cohan calls "mass camp" in his fab book Incongruous Entertainment: Camp, Cultural Value, and The MGM Musical (Duke UP, 2005). But it doesn't work on a ragingly homosexual male for whom camp is his lifeblood. In short, you wrote off the wrong b!t(h.
Still, that's all slightly beside the point which means I had to jettison a long post schooling your a$$ on camp. Because it boils down to your endorsement of this: "The ultimate Camp statement: it's good because it's awful . . . Of course, one can't always say that."
Yeah duh. Not all awful albums are created equal. So if you know that, then why did you get apoplexy when I pumped What's Happening To Our World? You're being willfully bullheaded if you can't parse the difference between Xgau's review of that album and, oh, Metallica's Load. Or, more precisely, if you can't see why his What's Happening To Our World? review would entice you to listen to it while his Load review makes you glad you dodged a very boring bullet.
And lo. Ann Powers asked the man himself what his most memorable dud is. Why, it's Kay Huntington! "I gave it an E for transcendent awfulness." And, of course, he's right. I sit in dumbfounded wonder at how someone came up with music as funny as SCTV's The Ramblers (http://goo.gl/TuWOm) without trying to be funny in the first place.
Same with another E, Kim Fowley. We SHOULD preserve him in a time capsule as a measure of how uniquely godawful music can be (keyword: uniquely). And if I adhered to the Milo Miles edict of ignoring E records, I would've missed pop songs as catchy as "Bubblegum" (an actual title) and, later, "Motorboat," neither requiring any camp justification.
In closing, two remarks on camp.
1. Paraphrasing Cohan, camp coheres around incongruity, theatricality, and humor. And, chica, are you ever missing the latter! Like I seriously think there are rules for rock criticism (and that they're numbered no less)!
2. It's noteworthy how your original rant calls up a camp defense. Here's Cohan again: "Camp allows gay men to undermine social categories of gender and sexuality that marginalize them by exposing the artifice of the social order which categorize them as unnatural." Or "twisted," as you might put it. We're caught fawning (such a queer image) over devalued cultural objects and wasting time, just like the numbers in movie musicals (gee, guess what my specialty is in). So when you say "nobody's wasting my time when they're wasting their time," we know you're trying to uphold your social order as the natural one. Desperately, of course. Mwah!
Lived by the "released/treated as a single" general rule. No "This Boy's Exhausted" or "Hey Julie" (or five other FoW songs). Mad about not thinking about "Wicked and Weird" or "Callin' Out" being singles. Would have said goodbye to REM (which got my sentimental vote) and Junior Senior.

And I'm esp. pleased it leads off with the all-time overrated-outsider album, Trout Mask (I'm a Beefheart fan who thinks he suffers from too many of the wrong sort of supporters). But it's kinda mundane and anti-hedonistic in a way.
The guy offers one critic flourish that I think is quite clever (if totally incorrect). He draws a parallel between the Beatles and (say) Glenn Miller and the Velvet Underground and Duke Ellington. Miller was huge but the enduring action was with Ellington. Beatles were huge but the enduring action was with VU.
Problem is: number of enduring fans of Glenn Miller vs. number of enduring fans of Beatles.

The staff at Counseling Services is dedicated to serving military and veteran students who have worked so hard and sacrificed so much to serve our country. Through a partnership with the Military and Veterans Resource Center (MVRC), Counseling Services is working to help our military-affiliated students fulfill their goals while at UWF. Military-affiliated students include those from all five branches of the military on active duty, reserve, or veteran status. The services at Counseling Services are offered to help students break down barriers that may be interfering with their success.
Combat Experience
All service members, whether or not they have seen combat, face major transitions when they return from military duty. Transitioning to life as a civilian and a university student can produce a unique set of challenges and stresses for veteran and military students. Some of the challenges to adjusting to life as a student include:
It is anticipated that over the next several years, UWF will see a continual increase in veteran students returning from combat services in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other regions. Some estimates show as many as 18% of returning service members will suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or major depression. The associated symptoms are common responses to very abnormal experiences. With the passage of time and a return to a civilian environment, these symptoms typically diminish. Please consider seeking counseling if the following symptoms are affecting your daily functioning.
Transitioning from the military to life as a civilian and a student can present a range of challenges. The following are various resources that can be utilized by military and veteran students to aide in a successful transition.

The SDRC works with students and faculty to help make UWF an accessible learning environment for students with documented disabilities that include learning disabilities, deaf/hard of hearing, blind/low vision, mobility limitations, ADHD, psychiatric disorders, and medical disabilities.

The world is suddenly divided into three categories: people who watch "Breaking Bad," people who don't, and people who spend $250 on a Lego-inspired meth lab to lament the series' impending finale.The Superlab Playset – a 500-piece plastic miniature version of anti-hero Walter White's elaborate chemistry compound – comes complete with industrial-strength miniature gas tanks, "poison" and "flammable" signage, a dead version of one of the show's previous characters, Gus, and inevitably, some controversy. The $250 collector's item, released last month by novelty company Citizen Brick, is decidedly not for kids, and both Citizen Brick and Lego have made that clear. A clause on product page of the now- totally-sold-out item states: "This set is a product of Citizen Brick, and is not sponsored, authorized or endorsed by the LEGOGroup, owners of the registered LEGO(R) trademark."
But that hasn't stopped UK newspapers and some Twitter followers from posting what-is-the-world-coming-to commentary. "Have companies gone too far in creating products based off of hit TV shows? This one is not the smartest choice," a Daily Mail reader tweeted in response to the newspaper's claims of outrage over the product. "Is this any different than selling toy guns?" tweeted another.
Actually, there's a big difference, according to fans of the product (who are far more vocal online than those detractors). "This is for adults to have something to remember a great TV show. I would buy one for myself, not for my children. Just like it would be a cold day down below before my CHILDREN ever watched a TV show like this," wrote a fan of the product on Citizen Brick's Facebook page. Another simply posted: "Shut up & take my money!!!"

Once you've decided angel funding is best, start networking and talking with angels as early as possible, says Trevor Blackwell, a partner at Y Combinator. "I'm always impressed by companies that get things done between when I start talking to them and the next time we talk." As for how to approach angel investors, the panelists agree it's best to avoid professional finders and start a conversation through a mentor or colleague, ideally someone else willing to invest. If you're interested in hearing more about how to shop your business to angels and what your presentation should include, watch the discussion on these topics from the 13:10 mark through 23:00. 10 Comments No Comments to Display Add a Comment Name: Email: Comment: Submit

Would a Non-Name-Nerd Notice?
Would someone who is not quite as obsessed with names as berries (and me) think sisters named Scout and Piper was awkward?
It would be Boston, Piper, and Scout. Neither Piper or Scout were chosen because of the planes; although, my husband does love planes. We have another name on our girl name list that is a little higher than Scout (Lennox), but Scout would be a front runner with Lennox if it wasn't for the association with Piper. What are you thoughts?
The only other names my husband likes (besides Bailey, Brooklyn, and Kinley which I can't stand) are Arden and Sutton.Mom to Boston and Piper <3
Names I love...
Boys - Theo, Jude, Griffin, Crew, Oakley, Penn, Beckett, and Callum
Girls - Lennox, Arden, Lucy, Belle, Lorelei, Lux, Bellamy, Scarlett, Annabel, and Juniper

Nosferatu (Hobgoblin Version)12/21/13
This homage to Nosferatu is a fun way to watch Nosferatu for the first time again. It was not made to in anyway distort the brilliance of the original silent film. New classically dark and heavy modern musical score from Hobgoblin, all dialog, narration, and sound effects have been lovingly added to experience the film like never before.

LONDON (AP) - Officials familiar with the decision tell The Associated Press the IOC has stripped Lance Armstrong of his bronze medal from the 2000 Sydney Olympics because of his involvement in doping.
Two officials say the IOC sent a letter to Armstrong on Wednesday night asking him to return the medal. The move came after the IOC was notified by cycling's governing body that Armstrong had not appealed the decision to disqualify him.
The officials spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the decision hasn't been announced.
The IOC executive board discussed revoking the medal last month, but delayed a decision until cycling body UCI formally notified Armstrong he had been stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and all results since 1998. He then had 21 days to appeal.
With the deadline expired, the IOC decided to take the medal away.

HARRISBURG — Sec. John Rafferty's legislation to promote teen driver safety was signed into law Thursday.The new law will allow school districts to contract with private driver training schools for classroom instruction.
Until now, school districts could contract with private driving training instructors to teach behind-the-wheel instruction only.Private driver training instructors were prohibited from teaching the classroom theory instruction of driver education if they were not a "certified teacher."
Rafferty's legislation, Senate Bill 743, amends the Public School Code to give school districts that do not have a certified driver's education teacher the option to contract with private instructors to teach in a classroom setting.
He said there is a currently a shortage of professional educators certified by the Department of Education to teach driver's education and many school districts no longer offer the class because of financial concerns.
"The goal of this new law is to help save lives by giving students the training they need to make good choices when they get behind the wheel," Rafferty said."Car accidents are the number one cause of death for of teens.Having teenagers take classroom driver's education is one way to reduce the chance of getting into a crash by them to the risks and hazards they face as new drivers."

By Scott Martin, USA TODAY
SAN FRANCISCO - Google on Wednesday unleashed its inner Evel Knievel in a stunt-filled demonstration of its secretive futuristic computerized glasses.
The Google Glass project puts computer-processing power, a camera, microphone, wireless communications and a tiny screen into a pair of super-cool-looking, lightweight glasses. For now, the "smart" glasses can display images and video and have a button that can be used for taking pictures. Ultimately, the company hopes the glasses will be able to access information in real time, including the ability to identify locations and provide additional information about your whereabouts.
STORY: Google unveils Nexus 7 tablet, Nexus Q media player PHOTOS: Google's 2012 developer conference
In an eye-popping moment of showmanship, Google had a small airship positioned above the Moscone Center, and a team wearing Google Glasses assembled and ready to skydive.
Brin spoke with the team - who could see him in their glasses - via a Google+ Hangouts video-conferencing session through the social-networking site. An estimated 6,000 conference attendees viewed the whole thing on the big screen inside the center.
Then the Google team jumped from the airship to the roof of the Moscone Center, transmitting the view of their descent to the folks inside.
The jumpers then passed a pair of Google Glasses to a group of bicycle stunt riders who vroomed across the rooftop, did a jump-flip, and handed off the glasses to rappellers, who shot down the side of the glass building. They were joined by bikers, and rode up to the stage to present the glasses to Brin.
With the futuristic specs, "Google has managed to do something that doesn't copy Apple," says Forrester analyst James McQuivey. "The staging was way beyond anything we've seen."
Google says the specs weigh less than many sunglasses on the nose and are intended to deliver information without having to scramble for a smartphone. The company envisions a day that information is delivered so quickly, people feel as if they know the answers to things right away.
But the glasses aren't yet ready for consumers. Google needs software developers to help unlock the digital promise of the glasses, so it offered the devices to U.S.-based Google I/O attendees for $1,500, with plans to ship the glasses by early next year.
"This is really new technology. We want to get it out into the hands of passionate people" as early as possible, said Brin.
With the stunt-laden event, Google is trying change perceptions of the company from that of an algorithmic, engineering-focused place to one that's got more of a human side, McQuivey says.

PITTSFIELD -- Barrington Stage Company (BSC), the award-winning theatre in Downtown Pittsfield, under the leadership Artistic Director Julianne Boyd and Managing Director Tristan Wilson, is proud to partner with the community to offer Youth Leadership Unplugged, free youth worker training for teens and young adults, this March in North Adams.
Youth Leadership Unplugged includes 12 hours of free youth worker training for teens and young adults.
Participants who attend the full training will receive a certificate of completion and a volunteer internship at a participating organization (such as Barrington Stage Company, Northern Berkshire Community Coalition, MCLA, Greylock Elementary School, and more).
The organizations listed have worked together to develop this program and will take turns leading the workshops during the three days and will also work with participants to place them in internships.
The workshops offered include:

n Teambuilding, Trustbuilding, and Classroom Management - Hester Kamin, Director of Education, Barrington Stage Company
n Sex Ed for Teens - Northern Berkshire Community Coalition
These community organizations are coming together to offer training for teens and young adults who want "behind-the-scenes" training about how to initiate a project, structure time, and manage a group and who want the opportunity to have an internship in their field of interest.
Youth Leadership Unplugged will be held on Saturdays, March 2, 9 and 16 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Third Floor Library, City Hall of North Adams, 10 Main St. Lunch will be provided.

Caring Model
At Aspirus Wausau Hospital, nursing staff's top priority is to create and sustain an environment of caring. Created by Wausau Hospital nurses in 1995, the Caring Model of Professional Nursing Practice defines the expectations for professional nursing performance and provides nurses with a context and structure for serving patients, families, and the community.
This model is evidence-based, being grounded in an amalgam of nursing theories. Theorists such as Jean Watson, Carol Hernandez, and nurse researchers like Deloris Gaut were great influences in the development of the Caring Model. All of these theorists declared that caring is the essence of nursing, and this concept has become the basis for professional nursing practice at Aspirus Wausau Hospital.
These concepts form the character of Aspirus Wausau Hospital Nursing and govern every interaction with patients and peers. Through the Caring Model, nurses merge research, knowledge, technology, and skill to meet the unique needs of each patient.
Eight components of The Caring Model:
The skills and knowledge required to deliver or assist in the delivery of quality patient care. Nurses are personally responsible to continually expand skills and knowledge to enhance clinical outcomes.
Accepting ownership for all actions, decisions and outcomes. Each nurse is ultimately accountable for the delivery of quality health care.
A charge to do something for which one is accountable to someone. Professional nursing requires each practitioner to accept ownership of his or her practice.
The personal authority to make decisions and act upon them. Health services are enhanced when both the nurse and the patient are empowered.
Each nurse's belief in his/her own ability to perform the responsibilities of their job. When the nurse acts with confidence, the relationship between patient and caregiver is strengthened and outcomes are enhanced.
The act of speaking in support of someone else.
The connections between and among people. Building an empathetic relationship with a patient and their family is the key that unlocks the uniqueness of the patient and enhances the value of therapeutic interventions in achieving optimal patient outcomes.
Providing the means for someone to be able to do something. In Professional Nursing Practice, it involves the effective and efficient transmission and flow of information and ideas to facilitate adjustments in one's self, one's performance and one's outcomes.

Gender Balance on social networking sites
High Res here
An exploration of human emotion on a global scale.
Started in 2005 by Sep Kamvar and Jonathan Harris, We Feel Fine project is described as an exploration of human emotion on a global scale. We Feel Fine harvests human feelings from a large number of weblogs. Every few minutes, the system searches the world's newly posted blog entries for occurrences of the phrases "I feel" and "I am feeling". When it finds such a phrase, it records the full sentence, up to the period, and identifies the "feeling" expressed in that sentence (e.g. sad, happy, depressed, etc.).
Because blogs are structured in largely standard ways, the age, gender, and geographical location of the author can often be extracted and saved along with the sentence, as can the local weather conditions at the time the sentence was written. All of this information is saved.

Ok, answering my own question, its jaycar electronics, who seem to be a great source of parts. Im in the UK, and jaycar have FAR better prices then farnell and RS.
Does anyone know an alternative source for LMD18245, as digikey are very overpriced. £10 from digikey UK vs $12 from digikey US, with a $60 shipping surcharge.
Does anyone sell kits of these boards, or bare pcbs, as its going to cost me about £30 each to get the pcbs done for this! At that price i might as well go buy a gecko drive, as it would be cheaper!

Sing To The Moon
by Laura Mvula
Catalogue Number: 400-0328
Release Date: 04/03/13
- Includes the singles "She" and "Green Garden"
Debut album from the latest "new Nina Simone," a Birmingham Conservatoire graduate who came in fourth in the BBC's Sound of 2013 poll. While her undeniable vocal chops certainly do recall the First Lady of R&B, her "gospeldelia" sound borrows heavily from the L.A. school of instrumental hip-hop (e.g. Flying Lotus), and also at times recalls the retro-soul of Duffy or Adele. Includes the singles "She" and "Green Garden."

A funny thing happened on the way to the synagogue: A rabbi and an Egyptian American, both professional comics, teamed up to perform "One Arab, One Jew, One Stage" this week at Temple Beth Hillel in Valley Village and Temple Beth El in Aliso Viejo.
"It sounds like a joke, especially as violence is escalating in the Middle East" says Bob Alper, 57, who bills himself as "the only practicing rabbi in the country doing standup -- intentionally." "But the point is to diffuse the tension and to humanize our two groups."
The humor is nonpolitical, says Ahmed Ahmed, a 31-year-old actor who turned to standup after being typecast as cabbies and terrorists.

You got one right here.
ok finally where are they there should be alot of sony fans in here even though i like cube. u have ps2 kenny?
yeah, I got one for Christmas.
Im a Sony fan, although Nintendo will always be #1 on my list I do have a PS2 and think the games coming out for it are steadily getting better, also it helps make the days till GC go a little easier.
I have a PS2. It's fun. I Just got NBA STREET today! It's an awesome game!
Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta.
damn u erob i heard that game was hot and twisted metal black. u lucky lol im going 2 get it 2 this week. hopefully.
I'm not getting PS2 but I'm still a Sony fan.
ok thats all the ps2 fans there are such little. there should be alot of sony and gamecube fans in here. that will be great.
I hate Sony. In my opinion I think they've got to be the most over-rated video game company ever.
I hate SONY now too. They have turned into a Nintendo like company.
Sony and Nintendo have no similarities except for the fact that PS2 is like the N64 of this generation. Also if you hate Sony say it somewhere else. This thread is just asking if there are any Sony fans. Its not asking if there are any Sony haters.
thanx dragulongx.

text: Landscape Map of the Russian Arctic Coastal ZoneThe map consists of ESRI Shapefiles of landscape polygons (in landscape unit types) for the Russian Arctic coastal zone (scale 1:4,000,000). The map is based on a digital circumpolar Lambert projection map. Polygons have a single attribute (LAND-ID). LAND-ID is an eight-character code that describes the landscape unit. The first two digits code zone, the third and fourth code landscape, the fifth through seventh code lithology, and the eighth codes substrate chemistry. The code is described in detail in an accompanying legend. Large polygons enclosing islands, or continental land areas between major rivers, form the boundaries of many smaller landscape polygons. These large enclosing polygons have LAND-ID values of 0. Some smaller islands (e.g., Zemlya Frantsa) have no codes associated with them. Areas on the far eastern portion of the map also have no code.

Turdus poliocephalus stresemanni
Wednesday, April 23, 2008 7:13:15 PM
This bird's name in Latin is Turdus poliocephalus stresemanni, in Indonesia it's called as Anis Gunung or Anis of the Mountain. While local people call them Jalak Gading (Ivory Jalak).
I met this kind of bird on my last vacation, I was hiking with my girl friend at Lawu Mountain, Indonesia. The bird are spreading from half up to the peak of the mountain. Therefore this bird also called as friend of the hikers.
It was fun to see the birds playing surround us
Thanks to Pakdhe for this bird's information.

Step 1: Why bother with a Tater Tote?
- Potatoes are produced along the stem of the plant and not on the roots. Supposedly the longer the stem, the more potatoes produced (theoretically).
- Digging the taters out can be damaging and some are missed altogether.
So, if the potatoes are contained, they can be harvested without missing any spuds, and the mulch gives sun protection and a nice clean medium, as opposed to dirt, at harvest time.
Step 2: What you will need:
TIME: About 30 minutes to cut and sew the Totes
- Landscape fabric
- Nylon sewing thread
- Scissors
- Measuring tape
- Sewing machine

Regardless, if you're wanting to go organic, try to find out about the lead in the paint/dye. I personally feel the risk is minimal and compared to the chemicals used on commercially grown crops we buy at the supermarket, I'm willing to risk using the shopping bags myself. I'd go for it, they're the perfect size for planting!
Good luck with your gardening!
The seed potato needs soil to grow the plant stems, the stems produce the new potatoes and just need protection from the sun while they're forming. You may have a potato or two form underneath the Tote in the dirt, so be sure to check!
I did notice that most all the new potatoes formed closer to the ground level, which RULES OUT "the taller the plant the more potatoes" theory!! But the Tater Tote process did seem to improve the plant growth in general.
Hope you can muster the courage to collect those leaf bags this fall!! Or maybe post a sign at your curb "Dump Bagged Leaves Here."
Good luck with your taters!!
Two ideas: 1. Drop a piece of brick or a rock into the bottom to help counterbalance the bags as the potato plants get taller. (I am a dedicated scavenger and have a small pile of partial bricks left from a patio project of recycled pavers.)
and 2. Look out for SNAKES! I used the straw-as-hilling method in my potato patch and at harvest time, the straw was full of BABY SNAKES. Wear some VERY GOOD GLOVES when you go to harvest your bag of potatoes!
I know that soil is harder to dig around in looking for spuds, but I don't want to take the risk of partial harvest which could hurt the plant, so I would harvest all my taters at the same time. In this case, I would really be pulling plants up, thus, using mulch for me wouldn't have much of an advantage over using soil.
Thank you for your kind comments, and good luck with your sweet potatoes!
For celery, however, I think this could work well. You could probably put three celery plants in each of these, or make them a bit smaller and only plan one celery per bag. You could most likely blanch celery this way.
Fabric bag-type grow pots are definitely the way to go with not only potatoes but other plants as well, especially if you do not have good soil, containers to grow in, or essentially want/need a portable garden!
so can i still grow it?
i have bought some onion seeds from the market..
and some lettuce seeds to...
can some one give some advice?..
i live in Philippines...i guess it good to grow some thing in our backyard..
i still cant figure out how to grow real vegetables..
the only thing i have grown is a mung bean....which is really easy to plant even a baby can grow it..lol
( www.davesgarden.com ) newsletter which has several helpful articles per weekly issue. They also have a beginner's forum, a plant database, a bug/pest database, and many other helpful sections of the site for new (and experienced) gardeners that I believe you could learn from. They also have a seed trading forum and one that offers free seeds just for new members. General membership is free.
Good luck with your gardening venture.
im just wondering if some on have made an instructable on how to plant onions..........and can i grow some onions out of the onions i bought from the market?....do they separate like potato's???
A couple veggies you CAN get from the grocery store to successfully plant are garlic cloves and horseradish roots. The horseradish will take over your yard if you're not careful. I'm sure there are other ones, too.
Good luck with your garden plans!

The 5K run/walk is an out and back course that takes participants past the main entrance to Dodger Stadium. The course begins on North Broadway for approximately 1/3 mile, then turns left onto Bishops Road. An immediate right turn at Stadium Way takes you under the 110 freeway toward Dodger Stadium for about a 1 mile uphill climb.
This distance includes a right at Lookout Dr., then onto Lilac Terrace which leads again onto Stadium Way. A U-turn a little past Elysian Park Ave. brings you past the LAFD Hotchkin training center with the piece of the World Trade Center brought here as a memorial. The 23-ton, 22-foot-tall steel column originally was part of the lobby structure, now stands a reminder. North Broadway leads back to Chinatown and the finish line. Water is provided at 2 points along this 5K course.
The 10K course is a challenging run through the hills of Elysian Park. From N. Broadway, the course climbs up into the park to it's highest elevation (see elevation map). The course winds high over the Figueroa Tunnels above the 110 freeway, through tree-lined rolling hills with the summit of Angels Point providing spectacular 180 degrees of the city. The early morning vistas of Downtown LA, Glendale, Mt Wilson, Hollywood Sign, Dodger's Stadium, & LAPD Academy are the hard earned and breathtaking sights of the 10K course that very few Angelenos will ever see.
As the course descends the hills of Elysian Park, the course leads you past the Grace E. Simmons lodge, named for the activist who was instrumental in saving the area from developers and creating Elysian Park. As you run down the palm tree lined road of Stadium Way, it leads you past the entrance to the Montecillo De Leo Politi Park. A smaller park within Elysian Park. This park was named after a children's book author who spent his years illustrating and writing children's books. His murals can be found in Olvera Street, the birth place of Los Angeles. Many of his paintings and drawings still adorn elementary schools and public libraries throughout the United States. Continuing on Stadium Way soon brings you to LAFD Hotchkin training center with the piece of the World Trade Center brought here as a memorial. The 23-ton, 22-foot-tall steel column originally was part of the lobby structure, now stands a reminder. The course continues under the 110 freeway back to Broadway where the finish line awaits those who survived this beautiful and challenging course.

Plaque is a sticky coating of bacteria and other substances that forms on your teeth and gums. It can cause two serious problems: tooth decay and gum disease. These problems damage the teeth and gums, and may even lead to tooth loss. When the mouth is well cared for, tooth decay and gum disease can be reversed in their early stages. Better yet, you can prevent these problems from starting by brushing and flossing daily.
Tooth decay happens when acid eats away at a tooth. Cavities (also called caries) are holes that form in the teeth. They are most common in places that are hard to reach with a toothbrush. This includes the grooves at the tops of the teeth, and on the sides where the teeth touch. In late stages, tooth decay can be painful. It can also lead to tooth loss.
Tooth decay can be treated to keep it from moving farther into the tooth. This is often done by filling cavities. First, any tooth decay is removed. This protects the tooth from further damage. Then, the cavity is filled with a hard material. This filling protects the damaged tooth and restores the tooth surface. If the tooth is severely damaged by decay, other treatments are available.
Visit your dental team at least every 6 months for a checkup and cleaning. If you're being treated for tooth decay or gum disease, you may need more frequent visits. These visits will likely decrease as your mouth care efforts start to pay off. Keep flossing and brushing, and follow any special instructions your dentist or dental hygienist gives you. And enjoy flashing your healthy smile!

Russian adoption ban saddens local parents
With President Vladimir Putin on Friday signing a law banning Americans from adopting Russian children, it abruptly terminated the prospects for more thatn 50 youngsters preparing to join new families.By: Pamela Knudson, Grand Forks Herald
Wade Pearson recalls the verbal grilling he and his wife, Dianne, went through to adopt their children 11 years ago from the Republic of Chuvashia, east of Moscow, Russia.
"We got the 'third degree,'" he said. "It was their way of being direct — to make sure the kids go to a good place," he said.
The interrogator was probably a bureaucrat who oversaw the children's orphanage, he said. In court, she lauded the Pearsons — much to their surprise — and they were quickly awarded custody of Christian, Lyola and Karley, siblings who were 4, 3 and 2, respectively, at the time.
In April 2001, the Pearsons brought the children home to Buxton, N.D.; Wade Pearson is president of Home of Economy stores, based in nearby Grand Forks.
They are among the thousands of American parents that have made America the top destination for adopted Russian children. And like many of those parents, they greeted with dismay a new law that prohibits Americans from adopting Russian children.
Pearson said Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision to sign the bill into law is "really disappointing," especially for Americans in the middle of the adoption process. "I can't imagine what it would be like for them, going through this process, trying to make this commitment. It's an emotional time."
The law went into effect Tuesday.
Russian children awaiting adoption in orphanages will suffer, Pearson told the Herald. "It's awful on the kids. For them (adoption) is their way out of the institution."
There are about 740,000 children without parental care in Russia, according to UNICEF. Over the past 20 years, more than 60,000 Russian children have found homes in the United States, the U.S. State Department said, as it decried the Russian law.
The North Dakota Department of Human Services receives notice of North Dakota families adopting children from outside the state. Julie Hoffman, administrator of adoption services, said she was not aware of any family in the process of adopting Russian children.
The ban on U.S. adoptions is widely viewed as retaliation against a new U.S. law that allows Washington to deny visas and freeze the assets of Russian officials who commit human rights abuses.
Pearson agrees. "It seems like a retaliation. They're using the kids as pawns."
"The dynamic between the United States and Russia has been fairly tentative for the last number of years," Hoffman said.
The "whole landscape of international adoption" can change as cultural attitudes shift and new legislation is enacted, she said. "Families are aware of that. They've been prepared by their (adoption) agency about the likelihood of this happening. That doesn't make it any less difficult."
Most would-be adoptive parents have been trained to be resilient, and most would stick with it or move to another program, she said. "They look at adoption as a form of ministry and service to the larger community."
China, Africa
Only 11 children from other countries were adopted into North Dakota families in the fiscal year ending September 2011, said Hoffman, citing the U.S. Department of State records.
"That's down from a high of 27 in '07 and '08 — a fairly significant drop," she said. "Economics has something to do with it." International adoptions are very expensive, she said.
She also cited some foreign countries' decision to join the Hague Adoption Convention as a factor. Participating countries' must scrutinize adoptions more to curb human trafficking and fraud, slowing down the process.
For North Dakota adoptions, China, Ethiopia and other African countries are among the most common points of origin, she said.
"Russia has never been a lead country," she said. "I don't believe there will be a large number of families affected by this ban."
Lindsey Ness, a family case manager with the Fergus Falls, Minn., based God's Children Adoption Agency, said her agency hasn't worked with very many adoptions from Russia either. She said she has seen area families adopt children from China and Africa.
For families waiting for children, the impact of the Russian ban is "huge," Ness said.
She suggested that families anxious to adopt look at older or special-needs children because the paperwork is often ready. Healthy or newborn children take longer, she said.
And American children are in need of homes, too.
Older and special-needs children here are also easier to adopt, Ness said.
Hoffman said that some would-be adoptive parents look overseas because they feel the wait for an American child is too long. "I think that is less and less the case. It may have been true 10 years ago, especially if they wanted an infant."
A shortcut
That was the case for the Pearsons.
In 2000, when they began the adoption process, it would have taken five to seven years to adopt an American child, Wade Pearson said. After adopting one, they would have had to wait to adopt another, he said.
In Russia, it took less than a year to complete the adoption of their three children, he said.
Economics probably played a key role, he speculated. "They were recovering from the Communist age. Families didn't have the resources" to care for and raise the children.
Trudy Dick, Devils Lake, who adopted a daughter from Russia nine years ago, told the Herald in an email, "There are so many children there that need homes. Our daughter has a heart defect that I believe kept Russians from adopting her because it was believed that she would need surgery.
"Our lives would definitely be less exciting without her. We are so glad the doors were open to adopt from Russia when we went through our adoption process."

It can be found at: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-kolkman-iasa-ex-officio-membership The draft is very short and contains only a few sentences of substance: The IETF chair, the IAB chair, and the ISOC President/CEO may delegate their responsibilities to other persons. The delegations by the IETF chair and the IAB chair need to be confirmed by the IESG and IAB respectively. The terms of delegation is for a longer term for instance aligned with the IESG and IAB appointment cycles (roughly anual). John Klensin made me aware he also had a similar idea earlier: http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-klensin-iaoc-member-00.txt The main difference is between his and this draft is that John's I-D makes the person the chair delegates to a non-voting liaison. I have a small preference for the IAB and the IESG keeping the control point, and I implicitly assume that for IASA matters the persons delegated to will escalate to the chairs and ask for specific guidance when appropriate. I realize that for the Trust anybody serves on personal title. For the trust alignment with the IAOC membership is just a practical considerations. The shared requirement is unloading the I* chairs and the ISOC president and empowering the people that serve in that role to organize themselves. (I should have paid more attention to this much earlier.)I find myself very torn on this proposal. Believe me, I understand the workload issue. But on the other hand, at the very beginning of my time as IETF Chair, I experienced the *previous* workload issue, when there was no IASA, IAD or IAOC. There was a dramatic decrease when the IAD arrived and the IAOC (and Trust) started to function. But the IETF Chair, as a full member of the IAOC, still got to understand the ongoing issues and of course influence the decision process. Yes, it was part of the workload, and I think that was a good thing. I'm very concerned about the IETF Chair getting decoupled from the IAOC. The IETF Chair's job is a whole lot more than being IESG Chair, and some degree of personal responsibility for oversight of the administrative work seems to me to be appropriate. So I'm not at all sure this delegation is a good thing. I'm not commenting on the IAB Chair and ISOC CEO slots. Delegation probably makes sense for them. I completely understand you points. I do not plan to delegate my seat. However, it is quite painful to open a BCP and make changes. I can imagine a future where delegation might be appropriate. For this reason, I am in favor of opening up the BCP only once to insert this capability for all of the ex-officio seats.

Title Boxing Club began as a cocktail of talents: the fighting prowess of former professional boxer Danny Campbell, the acumen of businessman Tom Lyons, and the top-of-the-line gear from Title Boxing, LLC owners David Hanson and Tony Carbajo. Hanson and Carbajo provided the gym's equipment and outfitted the first location with an onsite pro shop. Campbell put together two signature Power Hour workouts, one based on boxing and the other on kickboxing. Lyons took care of the franchising, and the club has spread all over the nation.
The Clarksville location boasts 60 100-pound heavy bags, installed into floor-to-ceiling black metal frames.

When the workout's over, students can head to the pro-shop area, where padded cage walls neatly separate the goods from the rest of the gym and provide an excellent place to duke it out over whose T-shirt looks better.
Ocoee Rafting earned its reputation for keeping rigorous safety guidelines over more than 36 years of riverine voyaging. Staffed by a cadre of veteran river guides, Ocoee Rafting has shared the singular exhilaration of class III and IV whitewater rafting with countless adventurers in search of rollicking outdoor enjoyment. The company shuttles its rafters to the raft entry point from the Ocoee Rafting Center, located in historical Ducktown, where the Blue Ridge Mountains swell along the horizon and the river's edge. Rafting groups delve into the wilderness of the Cherokee National Forest and brave either the tamer Middle Ocoee or the Upper Ocoee, which was the site of the 1996 Olympic whitewater competition as well as the 1991 World Series of Tom Sawyer Imitators. Additionally, a series of nearby cabin-style accommodations furnish visitors with the option of extending their rafting trip.
Murfreesboro Symphony Orchestra has spent the last three decades filling theaters to the brim with classical, fluid tunes that spill out of instruments of professional musicians. The orchestra continues to feed famished ears with notes of nourishment by hosting An Evening with Andrew Risinger, which puts the organ center stage to emit both classic and popular pieces full of texture and decibels. Unlike an ensemble of feral cats and broken mufflers, Risinger's ivory tickling will win over sonic senses with compositions such as "Rhapsody for Flute & Organ" by John Weaver and "If With All Your Hearts" from Elijah by Felix Mendelssohn. Witness the orchestra team up with the energetic conductor Kelly Corcoran for American Landscapes to pay an audible homage to the land of the free, stuffing your ear canals with musical hot dogs as violins pluck their strings to classic songs by American composers.
Launching into the Ocoee River, Sunburst Adventures' rafts of whitewater adventurers bump and glide over currents with gradients up to 50 feet per mile. An experienced guide mans the helm, offering instruction and zany anecdotes, as rafters navigate past bushes and trees and around three risky undercuts for a challenging, yet safe, excursion. Sunburst's carefully selected team of enthusiastic rafters has been taming the rapids of the Ocoee and sharing their love for the sport and the great outdoors since 1976. Groups of experienced and novice boaters quickly become familiar with a good soaking as they tackle roaring rapids such as Hell's Hole and Godzilla attempting to bend their boats in two as they jostle their way down the river's 10-mile stretch. For a more leisurely way to enjoy the natural splendor and warm waters of the river, aquatic types can tube the Lower Ocoee, which is known for expressing much calmer waters ever since it kicked its pot-of-coffee-a-day habit.
