I still remember reviewing 2003's "Lucifer Incestus", and here I am already reviewing my fifth BELPHEGOR CD, "Walpurgis Rites-Hexenwahn". It seems that the Austrian act has gotten even more prolific these past few years. What is far more impressive than the sheer number of albums in a relatively short time span is the inarguable fact that the black/death outfit consistently creates quality releases and, up until "Bondage Goat Zombie", BELPHEGOR had made significant leaps of musical progression while retaining their always harsh, always aggressive style.And I say "up until 'Bondage Goat Zombie'" not because "Walpurgis Rites-Hexenwahn" is some kind of disappointment or a comparatively weak effort, but only because with the possible exception of lyrical themes and the use of "original chants and incantations from archaic scripts", the album does not so much expand as it does steer a purer course of demonic ferocity. In fact, some of the nuances and expansive musical terrain explored on "Bondage Goat Zombie" have been pulled back a hair in favor of an approach that returns in some ways to the pure hellish aggression of "Lucifer Incestus", yet retains the dark majesty and vast improvements in melodic sensibility that are heard on the last three releases. In other words, it is another example of why BELPHEGOR is in a class all its own. Musically, those brilliant Symphony-for-Satan harmonies still abound, one of the primary trademarks of the BELPHEGOR sound — and damn, it never seems to get old. Every ode to iniquity is not a blast-fest like fierce opener "Walpurgis Rites" or "Destroyer Hekate", yet there is more of a front-to-back relentlessness present compared to "Bondage Goat Zombie". Rather than major structural departures, it is more a matter of tempo variance and subtler tweaks, except for the sadomasochistic march that is "Der Geisterteiber" (inclusive of a sinister bass line cadence to open and a downright frightening air raid siren effect). Yet even with that one, as well as the slight turn toward a more traditional thrash approach during the verses of "The Crosses Made of Bone", it is still BELPHEGOR in all its S&M-laced Satanic glory. By the way, as far as classic BELPHEGOR tunes are concerned, look no further than the uncompromising lasciviousness of "Hail the New Flesh". Truth be told, we're really splitting hairs here, which is difficult to avoid when you've reviewed five albums from the same band. The most important point to take home with you is that "Walpurgis Rites-Hexenwahn" is another great BELPHEGOR disc that is about as far from bowing to trends or compromising musical integrity as a group can get. I'm not sure BELPHEGOR are capable of doing any wrong at this point; they've surely not given any indication of it yet.

I love to eat out, and Louisville has the best food scene. But even the greatest restaurant with the most succulent food can produce bad experiences from time to time, and if you want to get the most for your money, do not visit a eatery at the following times:
1. Right Before Closing Time
This seems like a no brainer, doesn't it? Yet time and time again when I was serving, people would come rolling in five minutes before we locked the door and expect stellar food and service. Five minutes before close, your waiter or waitress already has his or her area cleaned, side work done, silverware rolled, and they are READY to leave. The dude who is making your food is probably drunk, or really ready to be drunk. I can't stress this enough: don't make the people who are preparing your dinner angry. If you do this, for some life or death reason, you better be tipping at least 40%.
2. On a major holiday
Particularly on Valentine's Day or Mother's Day, restaurants are swamped. Restaurants also sometimes take advantage of this rush to put out a special menu, which is almost never as "Special" as it should be. The food on a special holiday menu isn't food the chef has prepared day in and day out, tested extensively, honed to perfection. Also, the stress of the entire affair is dialed up to eleven for both diners and staff. Do you really want to be served by a waiter whose girlfriend just broke up with him because she's sick of spending Valentine's alone? Do you want to be squashed in way too close with other couples and overhear someone's horrifying argument or sticky declaration of what the rest of the evening will entail? Either make a reservation at a trusted place well ahead of time, or dine in.
3. At peak dinner hours on a weekend
I know you want to eat out at seven on a Friday night. We all want to eat out at that time. But if you want the most attention, best food, service, and atmosphere a restaurant can offer, try going on a week night. The best meals I have ever had, I've eaten on week nights. The people at the restaurant are under less stress, so the food is just better. If you are eating at a peak hour on a weekend, make sure you have a reservation, are prepared to wait, and if you can, go after 8:30. That's when things really die down.
Honorable mention: Oaks
Just don't try and go out to eat on Oaks. Trust me on this one. Everything is overrun and everyone is decked out and crabby.

The Bachelor: Lindzi Cox Would "Totally Do It Again"
March 13, 2012 09:00 AM by Lisa Princ
The Bachelor season finale aired last night on ABC, and we all watched as Ben Flajnik chose Courtney Robertson to propose to, leaving Lindzi Cox with a broken heart. This morning, Lindzi Cox spoke about her experience, and she says she would "totally do it again." What else did Lindzi have to say about her experience? Read on to find out!
When The Bachelor finale aired last night, viewers were crushed when Ben chose Courtney over Lindzi, who has been a fan favorite all season. Lindzi, however, was in great spirits this morning when she spoke on Good Morning America – of course this is probably because the finale was taped months ago and she has had time to reflect. Lindzi Cox said that she wishes Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson nothing but the best, and then went on to say: "Hindsight's a really beautiful thing. I wasn't happy at the beginning. I've learned a lot from the experience."
While no one knows whether or not Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson will last, he is no longer Lindzi's problem and she admitted that since the show, she is "in a good place." Linzdi had nothing bad to say about Ben, and when asked about the experience on The Bachelor, Lindzi replied: "It's awesome. I'd totally go do it again." Hmm, could she be the next Bachelorette after Emily Maynard? Maybe, but we'll have to wait a while to find out.
What did you think of The Bachelor season finale last night? Would you like to see Lindzi Cox head to The Bachelorette? Tell us what you think by commenting below!

I liked Linzi very much, but she did not open up enough to Ben. She took too long the express her love for him. Courtney, (even though the others did not like her ways) was out there, and new how to get her man. Will it last, nobody knows. But she had all the right moves. I think he needed that. It sounded like he was not very experienced.
Linzi would make a great bachelorette (after Emily)

She definately should be the bachelorette! She is a lovely caring person. I would watch with bated breath to see her find love.

I'm working on a homework assignment and am probably psyching myself out about this thing a little too much, so I am just seeking some input. Here's the basic code:
for(x = 100; x > 0; x = x + x) {
sum = sum + x;
There are two versions: one where
x is a
float and one where it is an
int. The question is are these infinite loops.
I am thinking that when
x is an
int, it will eventually overflow, making it less than zero and the loop will stop. When
x is a
x will reach infinity and the loop will be infinite.
Am I close?

Rachel Bilson was seen leaving a Thai restaurant with former flame Hayden Christensen yesterday (October 12th) in Los Angeles. The Jump co-stars met on set in 2007, and were engaged two years later. They have been on and off since calling off the engagement last summer, but it looks like things are going OK.
PHOTOS: CW Stars Celebrate A New Season Of Television
Bilson also has much to celebrate in her career. The CW's Hart Of Dixie was picked up for a full season, as was Secret Circle and Sarah Michelle Gellar's Ringer, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Bilson's show, created by O.C. and Gossip Girl master mind Josh Schwartz, averages 1.9 million viewers since it premiered.
Of course Dixie was picked up; Jason Street stars in it!

Port Authority Police Officers Mitchell Richter, center left, and Frank Misa were honored by the New York State Senate on March 5 in recognition of their rescue of a woman who jumped off the Whitestone Bridge on Feb. 7.
The officers were conducting routine marine parol in their boat off LaGuardia Airport when they received a call of a possible jumper.
They were on-site in less than three minutes and found the woman in the water near the Queens end of the bridge and administered first aid. The resolution, introduced by Sen. Jeffrey Klein (D-Bronx), credited the officers with saving her life in a display of exemplary professionalism.
The officers are joined here by state Sen. Kemp Hannon (R-Long Island), left, Klein and state Sen. Dean Skelos (R-Long Island).

LOL... Sorry for the name. I couldn't resist, seeing that recent Motobecane topic name. Also I couldn't resist getting a track bike after riding my fg conversion for so long, I wanted a bike that was the real deal.
(staying on a budget, and for my nice days out commuting.)
Here's a picture of my new beauty!! (Damn free sites and their space limits, otherwise you would've seen a much larger picture)
It's mostly stock. The only thing I changed was that I stuck a pair of bullhorns on it, and a pair of cheapie nashbar atb pedals. I absolutely LOVE it! It's quite a change from using an old Fuji Delrey conversion.
About the photo, it might look like I have a ridiculous angle on the bullhorns. This is only because they are slightly pointed up, but when I took the photo, it was from a real low angle looking up. More pictures to follow!
Quick question on my bike. I want to take off the reflectors and I guess I can stick them on my commuter. How can I get the reflectors out without damaging them? From what I observed there's two plastic pieces that go in between a spoke, and then clicks into a hole in the middle of the reflector.

The race is on
Books | Books analyze the crises within both Islam and the continent it is trying to subdue
In preparation for the fall political season, Obama-blasting books are pouring forth: Ken Blackwell and Ken Klukowski's solid The Blueprint (Lyons, 2010), Aaron Klein's overwrought The Manchurian President (WND, 2010), and Robert Knight's succinct and lucid Radical Rulers: The White House Elites Who Are Pushing America Toward Socialism (Coral Ridge, 2010).
Oddly, the administration in Washington is cranking up the pro-Muslim rhetoric as Islam's cultural, political, and economic distress deepens. Iraqi leader Ali Allawi examines the deep malaise in his scholarly The Crisis of Islamic Civilization (Yale Univ. Press, 2009). Another academic book, The Hidden Origins of Islam (Prometheus; edited by Karl-Heinz Ohlig and Gerd R. Puin), presents evidence of deception in Islam's beginnings: Does linguistic analysis disprove its revelation saga? Did Islam begin in a Christian heresy that later morphed into the equivalent of a Muhammad of Arabia movie?
So the race is on: Will Islamic dictatorships crumble first, or will feckless Europe give up? Theodore Dalrymple explains the defeatist impulse in The New Vichy Syndrome: Why European Intellectuals Surrender to Barbarism (Encounter, 2010). This is the time for Christians to ratchet up the pressure on a false religion, so we need to know our adversaries: Andrew McCarthy's The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America (Encounter, 2010) is a useful introduction. If we are unprepared, we may meet disaster: Braddock's March by Thomas Crocker (Westholme, 2010) shows with great specific detail how the arrogance of a British general in 1755 led to a massacre.
Will media leaders help us avoid a debacle? Sadly, they are normally on the left, following the trail blazed by Joseph Pulitzer, who died 99 years ago; James McGrath Morris' new 558-page biography, Pulitzer: A Life in Politics, Print, and Power (HarperCollins, 2010), is about 500 pages too long, but it has all the details a press historian might want. Will scientists lead the way? Many are herd creatures, as Roy Spencer's The Great Global Warming Blunder (Encounter, 2010) shows.
Meanwhile, angry atheists march on, as Peter Hitchens shows in The Rage Against God (Zondervan, 2010), a thoughtful memoir plus a critique of the views of the author's brother, Christopher. Incidentally, Christopher Hitchens now has cancer of the esophagus; please pray for him. Also pray for the revivals that are creating a Christian boom in Asia, Africa, and South America: Mark Shaw in Global Awakening (IVP Academic, 2010) surveys the 20th-century revivals on these continents.

Socialist tests
Rod Gragg's Forged in Faith (Howard Books, 2010) is a good, brief popular history of what began in 1607 and became the United States in 1776. Gragg notes that the Jamestown and Plymouth settlers both tried socialism-people could take from a common store regardless of their work effort-and almost starved to death.
He quotes Pilgrim William Bradford's note that some colonists believed the taking away of property, and bringing community into a common wealth, would make them happy and flourishing"-but the experiment instead bred "confusion & discontent, and retarded much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort."
Bradford recorded the colonists' switch to private property and the result: "This had very good success for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been by any means the Government or any other could use." Barack Obama and associates should take that message to heart.
Some other worthwhile books on the Pilgrims and Puritans include: Nathaniel Philbrick, Mayflower; Leland Ryken, Worldly Saints; Perry Miller, ed., The American Puritans: Their Prose and Poetry; J.I. Packer, A Quest for Godliness; and Gerald R. McDermott, Jonathan Edwards Confronts the Gods.

Lehman received chiropractic treatments and was told that his arthritis was being aggravated by the constant jarring of the rail tractor. His doctor recommended that Lehman indefinitely not work with heavy equipment that affected his neck and back. After reviewing a doctor's note from Lehman, U.S. Steel's doctor evaluated him and concluded that he could work, but should not drive a rail tractor.
U.S. Steel removed Lehman from the work schedule until he could drive a tractor and placed him on involuntary leave. After filing a union grievance, Lehman was returned to work in a non-driving position that did not aggravate his arthritis, but only several weeks after he was placed on involuntary-leave status.
Lehman filed suit against U.S. Steel, contending that the company violated the Americans With Disabilities Act and had failed to reasonably accommodate his disability by refusing to reassign him to a job consistent with his medical conditions.
A U.S. District Court in Pennsylvania denied U.S. Steel's motion for summary judgment and agreed that Lehman's arthritis substantially limited the performance of major life activities. With regard to his claim that U.S. Steel had refused to accommodate his condition, the district court noted that, while Lehman was eventually permitted to return to work to a job that did not aggravate his condition, a jury could conclude that the company could have reassigned him to another available position before placing him on involuntary leave. Lehman v. U.S. Steel Corp., WD Pa., No. 05-1479 (9/17/07).
Impact: Employers are advised to promptly determine if reasonable accommodations may exist for disabled employees, including reassignments to vacant positions.

There are lots of resource and tutorials online, but the most useful resource is the help in Flash. There are no shortcuts, so spend time on it.
Please give us a brief bio of yourself.
Henry Chu, Born in 1976, Hong Kong.
I started my design studio pill & pillow in 2004.
Apart from my design career, Im also a media artist and part-time lecturer.
What do you do for inspiration?
Books, music, videos, films, going to the streets and taking a shower.
Please list 3 of your favourite sites.
group94.com, yugop.com, db-db.com
What do you regard as being your biggest achievement?
Staying in the design business with a good balance between profitability and quality.
What software couldn't you live without?
Flash, Fireworks, Photoshop.
What projects do you have in the pipeline?
We are working on 3 projects for a local leading property company, also a new website for a local design studio.
Who do you rate as being the top 3 design companies?
I think the works from group94, sofake and hi-res are revolutionary, and yugop is always the king of interactive design.
In local industry, I recommend CoDesign, Sixstation and milkxhake. Sorry to mention so many.
What effect on traffic do your new designs have?
Design is only one factor to make people stay in a website, whether the website will generate traffic really depends on the content.
Who is your target audience?
Depends on project and client, but I hope people like minimal design also like my websites.
What area of web design lacks the most?
Web design should have a concept and message behind all the styles and executions.
What did your very first site look like? Is it still online?
It is not online anymore, it's was an html site with images and text, nothing special.
Have you written any books, if not do you plan to?
No, I'm not good at words.
What was the toughest thing you ever did with Flash? How long did you spend on it? Is it still online?
By using Unity Multiuser Server + Flash 8, I created ASCII Video, took me 1 week.
Do you think Flash is here to stay?
Yes. Flex is up coming, but it's also Flash based.
What are your views on design/graphic school. Do you think someone can get into the field without educational experience in a school environment?
I didn't go to any design schools before I got into the industry, I wish I went to one.
When your company was just getting started, what did you find was most effective for getting new clients?
Always deliver more with a limited budget, first it turns an ordinary work into a showcase, and second it will help you cost the next client higher.
How have you learned so many Flash/design skills and techniques and can you offer any advice for newbies?
Most of skills are self-taught, I pay attention to the new techniques in the industry, and I will try to do it myself.
There are lots of resource and tutorials online, but the most useful resource is the help in Flash. There are no shortcuts, so spend time on it.
What is the most expensive thing you've bought in the last week?
A dinner.
What type of overcoat do you wear when Flashing, basically are you a labels man?
I dress as casual as possible.
Any parting shots or pearls of wisdom?
Keep producing good work, and you will be rewarded one day.
It's been a privilege, thanks very much.
You are welcome. It's my pleasure.


text: The Toronto Botanical Garden's "Through the Garden Gate" tour is always one of the year's most highly-anticipated gardening events. Well, it is for me, anyway. But I'm also a dreamer who's addicted to browsing properties on MLS and going to open houses even though I'm not seriously on the real estate market. Yeah, I'm that guy. It's just SO much fun to stroll through the backyards of these incredible homes and let my imagination wander. The chance to take the tour with fellow gardening journos is an added bonus, too, as I inevitably learn the names of a dozen new species that I vow to plant in my garden. (When I eventually find a property on MLS that has a backyard big enough for a garden, that is.) The other inevitability of the garden tour is that I find one that's a true standout. One that strikes that perfect balance between aspirational and achievable. This is that garden. Located in Toronto's tony South Hill neighbourhood, this home's front garden boasts some knockout natural stone landscaping. The really fluid arrangement of the rocks and boulders prevents them from overpowering the delicate blossoms and diverse greenery. Luminous azaleas ramp up the wow-factor.Photography by Brett Walther. I almost feel bad for these sombre white irises. The azaleas seem intent on stealing the spotlight.Photography by Brett Walther. Speaking of stealing the spotlight, just check out this jaw-dropping Japanese peony tree blossom… Stunning!Photography by Brett Walther. Yes, the outdoor table linens do indeed complement the basket arrangement. Adorbs! The hanging wrought-iron panels are a nice way of creating a bit of privacy from the next-door neighbours without sacrificing sunlight.Photography by Brett Walther. I'm a total sucker for symmetry, and the layout of this backyard is beautifully balanced.Photography by Brett Walther. There's no green like first-week-of-June green, is there? Sheltered under a half-pergola, these ferns glow a vibrant chartreuse.Photography by Brett Walther. I just LOVE how layered this garden is. Pergolas, flagstone paths, pretty containers, and — something that's so often overlooked in interior and landscape design — a real sense of humour. Like, is that a lizard on the left?!?Photography by Brett Walther. From the moss-covered roof to the climbing vines, the greenery camouflages the garden shed, helping it blend seamlessly into the landscaping.Photography by Brett Walther. Did you know that the sound of running water helps attract birds to your garden? Yet another reason to invest in a water feature (even if it's not as grand as this one!).Photography by Brett Walther. Buddha strikes a pose. Again, you get a real sense that the homeowners had fun choosing their outdoor ornaments.Photography by Brett Walther. The inspired colour combo in this container mixes soft purple and white with the barest hint of coral.Photography by Brett Walther.

So fellow harpies, I am an avid election watcher, participator, how to vote hander outerer, and election party partier, especially with federal elections. On the 21st August 2010 Australia went to the polls, with a unique situation – the first female Australian Prime Minister leading the Labor Party, and a Catholic Liberal Party Opposition Leader (Catholicism has generally been associated with the Labor Party).
This is the first election where I have not been actively involved in the whole election campaign process, in part due to writing an honours thesis, and also I have become disillusioned with what the two major parties, Labor (less conservative) and Liberal (conservative), have put up by way election policy. I couldn't in good conscience be involved in election campaigning this time around.
This is the first federal election in my memory where it looks like that Australia will have a hung parliament – according to Australian electoral pundit, Antony Green (check out his stuff here – swooning over Antony Green is a national past-time). This means that in the Australian House of Representatives, the lower house, no party will be able to form Government and sit on the treasury benches as neither major party has 76 or more members in their own right (out of a possible 150). And my blood is running cold with the thought of Australia being pulled once again to the Right, and returning to the 1950s and so called "traditional values."
So here am I, my tv turned on to the election coverage of the ABC (the national public broadcaster), watching with unbelievable interest in an election that will definitely shape public policy in Australia for the next 20 years.
The lead up to this election was mixed – the former prime minister, Kevin Rudd, was deposed by the "faceless" head office machinations, and the first Australian female prime minister, Julia Gillard replaced him. The opposition, the Liberals, have had 3 different leaders in three years with even more rancour between changing leaders and party machinations. There was a major campaign being run by the mining industry lobby group against Labor, specifically to do with changes to tax policy. The Labor party did not pursue an emissions trading scheme despite the former prime minister saying it was the most important issue in our time, and not working with one of the minor parties in the Senate (the federal upper house). The Liberals were obstinate in the upper house, refusing to work with Labor to introduce policies that were part of Labor's election platform in 2007. Add into the mix, general discontent with state Labor governments, in 4 states, across the country – and well it was going to be an unpredictable election.
With a hung parliament looking increasingly likely, independent and non-major party members are looked to by the major parties for the potential to form a coalition government.
The three sitting conservative independents, 2 in New South Wales and 1 in Queensland, have been returned convincingly to the lower house; though they may be considered conservative they would more than likely have more in common with Labor. It looks like two new non-major party left wing candidates have also been elected to the House of Representatives in Victoria and Tasmania – the Greens in Victoria and an independent in Tasmania.
At this stage the results of Western Australia, and in some of the closer seats the pre-poll and absentee votes, will determine the outcome of the election, and in particular whether the Labor Party loses more lower house seats than expected.
It's still not sure whether Labor will reach the magic number of 76 seats. The pundits are predicting at this stage of 73 seats to the Liberals, 72 to Labor, and 5 to independents/Greens. In some ways, the Labor party forming coalition with independents and minor party members will be a good thing.
I will be watching the outcome of this election closely over the next 2 weeks, especially as the current leaders of the Liberals and Labor, depending on how many lower house seats are actually won, try to cobble together a coalition to form government.

ALBANY — Kelly Peters of Albany has two young children. One is in preschool after a year-long wait, and the other is on the waiting list to get in.
According to Ms. Peters, there aren't many preschool options, whether they're private or public, and daycare is also in short supply.
The universal preschool law that goes into effect on July 1 next year, Act 166, says that school districts are required to provide access to ten hours of preschool per week for all children aged three to five. Children don't have to go to preschool, but the service must be available. How the districts choose to implement that is different throughout the state.
It's an onion type issue, said Diane Nichols-Fleming, the North Country Supervisory Union (NCSU) early childhood program coordinator. Keep peeling back layers and you'll definitely be crying by the end, she said.

Glinn & Giordano, a California-based physical therapy business, recently conducted a study which focused on the posture of gamers between the ages of five and fifteen.
The study, done in conjunction with the Cal State Bakersfield Department of Physical Education, watched the youngsters as they played a title for five minutes. Preliminary findings, as offered by Bakersfield.com, suggested that "posture became worse as the five minutes wore on and that children sitting in chairs had better posture both at the start and finish than did those sitting on the floor."
Glinn & Giordano's Brian Monroe, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, therefore recommended that games should be played from a chair "with feet flat on the ground and back support." He also suggested that parents should correct the posture of their kids if they see a forward-leaning head, rounded shoulders and/or the lower back rounding forward.
Full results of the study will be released in a few weeks.

Pond bog
#1 Guest_Scorpio_*
Posted 09 September 2010 - 17:46 PM
i will be extending it to the whole of that side of the pond next year and use whatever species of plant survive the winter.
for winter, to improve their chances of survival what should i do? i was thinking when they have been dieing back for a month i will put a thick layer of moss on top so that the frosts dont get them. good idea?
anyway, pics:
Posted 09 September 2010 - 18:21 PM
i have a small bog on the edge of my pond. the plants are growing in moss which i collected from a hillside in wales. the pitchers are both doing really well, the fly traps aren't so good but i have only just removed the stuff that had grown over them and i had let them flower so there are only a few traps. the sundew has only just gone in so i will see how it goes.

I would start by pulling out the grass. That type of grass is a nightmare once it gets a foot hold. It sends out runners that sprouts more grass and the roots are tough and deep. I would also get some sphagnum moss growing around the CPs
Edited by mantrid, 09 September 2010 - 18:23 PM.
Posted 13 September 2010 - 13:04 PM
I grow a my CPs generally outdoors, and just tend to cover the more tender ones, such as fly traps and non native sundews with fern fronds, as they dry out quickly after rain and air can pass through them for ventilation. Pine needles are also a favourite and add acidity to the bog. I haven't tried sphagnum but would immagine that the constant high moisture content that the moss will have when not frozen, could rot the plants when laid over them, given a couple of months of cold and damp with little ventilation.
Most if not all Sarracenias are hardy to about zone 8 or 9, so if they are healthy going into dormancy, will make it through, so long as they not in pots or small bog areas that will freeze solid (but you can cover them anyway to be on the safe side), fly traps also are Ok if they are kept reasonably dry through the cold spell (planted on mounds generally helps). Capensis and Binata always die but come back from the roots given a modicome of protection.
Its the desiccating effect of wind, which I find causes the most damage, the pitchers and traps tend to dry and die, which is unsightly but isnt a problem so long as the rhizome is OK. So keep the direct effect of the wind off the rhizome to keep the wind chill factor down.
So all in all they should be good through the winter given a small amount of protection, although I would take advice on the suitability of sphagnum for this purpose. If you find out can you let me know please?
Cheers and good luck with the extension next year

the water in the pond is PH6.5 - 7.5 depending on the weather and stuff, so it is alright for them. im being cautious about what i put in there because of the fish. i was thinking of covering the bog bit with filter wool (stuff i put in my filter to remove dirt and stuff). it might keep the frost off and help the flytraps survive.
the plant which is behind the CP's in those pictures (with the little bristly leaves) is a real pest and covers the whole pond and weighs a ton if we dont keep trimming it. however, there should be one more trim this year (probably remove about 20kg of it, about 2' x 3' chunk) so i might just dump some of that on top of them, it looks like pine needles
Posted 24 September 2010 - 12:34 PM
Sounds like a plan! The only possible problem you may have if the pond overflows into the bog, is the 'fertilising' effect of the fish manure, rotting vegetation and the total disolved solids contained in the water. You will notice any adverse effects though, as the pitchers will get deformend and look decidedly 'iffy'.
Having said that, by the sounds of it they are loving the environment so it must all be good.

ARLINGTON, Wash. (AP) — A 22-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the death of a 54-year-old woman, who was found after a house fire in Arlington, Wash., north of Everett.
On Saturday, the Snohomish County Sheriff's office said the man had rented a room in the house. He was arrested Friday night and booked into Snohomish County Jail on investigation of second-degree murder and first-degree arson.
Police say an autopsy completed Wednesday showed the woman had been strangled before the fire. The medical examiner's office ruled her death a homicide.
Fire crews found her body in the living room of the house.

For those of you not familiar with the term STEM, it is an acronym for "Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics." According to the Office of the President of the United States, jobs in STEM-related fields are projected to grow exponentially over the next decade with demand outpacing the number of qualified applicants by one million. Although there can be a substantial commitment to education and training in order to qualify for a STEM position, the pay off can be seen in the expected job growth and earning potential (see below).
So whether you are a high school student getting ready to graduate or you have already graduated and are in the work force but looking to change careers to a more stable or lucrative career field, those who choose a career path in the STEM seem to have a bright future indeed. Check out these 5 Hot STEM Careers That College Bound Students Should Know About!
Web Developer
This is an often overlooked and rapidly growing career field with an expected growth rate of 20% through 2022, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). More organizations are becoming connected to and reliant on the Internet for business communications, and this requires the need for specialists who not only can design a web site, but manage site content, traffic, and fine tune it for search engine optimization.
With only an associate's degree required for starting out, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates job seekers can expect to earn an average of $62,000 a year in web development.
Network Security Specialist/Analyst
This highly technical field has an expected growth of 37% between 2012 and 2022, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Network Security Specialists work in both the private and government sector, defending computer information networks from the ever-increasing threat of cyber-attacks. Entry-level educational requirements for this job are a bachelor's degree in a computer related field.
The annual median income for a Network Security Specialist is around $86,000.
Healthcare Administrator
Healthcare Administrators work as managers and executives in a variety of healthcare delivery environments, including hospitals, clinics, and medical offices. They are responsible for the efficient planning, directing, and coordination of healthcare services. The minimum educational requirement is a bachelor's degree although it is not uncommon for a requirement of a master's degree.
This medical management job field is expected to grow in the near future by about 23% with an average income at about $88,560 per year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
As businesses expand across the country, there is always a need for those who handle the financial records and taxes. With an expected growth of 13% over the next ten years, there will be a consistent demand in this occupation. A bachelor's degree in accounting and finance is required for this occupation, and many go on to become CPA's (Certified Public Accountants).
An accountant can expect to earn on the average of about $63,000 per year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Software Developer
Software Developers are the creative force that design and manage the entire process of software and network systems development. The average annual median income for a software developer is, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, around $93,000. Educational requirements are a bachelor's degree in computer science or science engineering.
Employment in this field is expected to grow 22% between 2012 and 2022, which makes software development an attractive career option.
These are just five of the hot STEM careers that are expected to have faster than average growth over the next decade.

Had lots of fun with this Delta kite design. Lost several but no great $. Lost one kite over the sea due to bad knot tying - and I am a sailor. I had so much line out that as the line dragged on the water the kite climbed again and maintained 300m till lost sight. I wonder where it went. Lost a few due to eagles strikes.
Anyway the basics are as follow... (forget the expensive premade stuff as they are heavy and do not fly that well).
1 meter dowel is cheap at hardware stores pre-cut to exact lengths. So is drop sheet plastic (used for protecting furniture when you paint) and plastic packing tape. A simple Delta kite relatively small held together with soft wire though holes in the dowel (burnt though with a hot nail over the BBQ) flys great. Wire straightens when it hits the ground saving the dowel and sail.
Add 1000m of Spectra line at 25dan and thermal up to great heights. Personal record 525m. Yep the line is the expensive stuff but you can always retrieve most of it.
Would love to hear from anyone doing similar stuff. Would like to develop a height record which has a limitation to 1 meter spars or sail area. Need a challenge. Any ideas?

Very satisfying making your own and watching them get air-born for the first time."
"I've just bought your super e-book and spent most of last night pouring through all the great stuff in it!
Very detailed and USEFUL information - thanks for such a great book."
years ago, I tried making a kite using the 'instructions' in a free

Many ECU students attended a march and rally today on campus in support of the legalization of marijuana.
The rally was held from 12 to 4 on Sunday. Students listened to a band, and had a cookout. They were also wearing t-shifts supporting their cause.
Organizer Jesse Mignogna said "the reason I want it to be legalized is because it will reduce crime, right now its controlled by gangs, drug cartels and terrorist organizations, you legalize it, you put it in the hands of law abiding corporations. You know it's also a freedom issue, live and let live, if you're not hurting anybody else, if you want to pollute your body with marijuana that's your choice."
While those students supported legalization, others we talked to on campus said they think legalizing marijuana could possibly do more harm than good.

Aaron Alexis, the former Navy reservist who killed 12 people Monday at the Washington Navy Yard, was arrested by Seattle police in 2004 for using a .45-caliber pistol to shoot out the tires of a construction worker's car in what he later described as an anger-fueled "blackout," police said.
Alexis attributed the incident to trauma he suffered after witnessing the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that brought down the twin towers in New York, where he once lived, according to a Seattle police report.
It was one of at least two incidents involving a handgun that landed Alexis in trouble with the law in the years before police say he opened fire in the Navy Yard, killing 12 and wounding 14 before he was killed in a gunbattle with officers.
Alexis grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y., with his mother, Cathleen, and father, Anthony Alexis, his aunt Helen Weekes, of Seattle, told The Washington Post in a phone interview. "We haven't seen him for years. I know he was in the military. He served abroad. I think he was doing some kind of computer work."

Alexis, 34, served in the Navy Reserve from 2007 through 2011, according to Navy spokeswoman Lt. Megan Shutka. More recently, he worked for a defense contractor called The Experts, but it was unclear if Alexis was still employed by that subcontractor or if his work had brought him to the Navy Yard.
Alexis lived in Seattle in 2004 and 2005, as well as Bellevue and Fort Worth, Texas, public records show.
In Seattle, Alexis lived in a small, wood-frame home on 13th Avenue South on the west slope of Seattle's Beacon Hill. Nobody answered the telephone or door, although blinds that were open when reporters first arrived were later closed. A barking dog could be heard inside.
Neighbors said they did not know Alexis.
According to Seattle police, at 8 a.m. on May 6, 2004, two construction workers had parked their 1986 Honda Accord in the driveway of their worksite, next to Alexis' home.
The workers were at the construction site when a man, later identified as Alexis, walked out of the home, pulled a gun from his waistband and fired two rounds into the rear tires and a third into the air before slowly walking back home.
Police collected three spent .45-caliber shell casings at the site.
Alexis had a valid Washington concealed-carry permit for a .45-caliber Glock pistol, according to the police report. Detectives later found the pistol and ammunition in a bedroom in Alexis' home.
Alexis "confessed to the crime of discharging his weapon for the purpose of shooting out the tires" on the car, the report said.
After his arrest on June 3, 2004, Alexis told detectives he perceived that he had been mocked by the victims before the shooting, after he discovered his own car had been tampered with earlier that morning. Alexis said he had been "disrespected," leading to a "blackout" fueled by anger, according to the police report.
Alexis said he could not remember firing his gun at the vehicle until an hour later, police said.
Alexis, who was booked into jail for investigation of malicious mischief, a misdemeanor, also told police he was present during "the tragic events of September 11, 2001," and described "how those events had disturbed him," according to the police report.
Detectives later spoke with Alexis' father, who lived in New York at the time. He told police his son had anger-management problems associated with post-traumatic stress disorder and that Alexis had been an active participant in rescue attempts on Sept. 11, police said.
Workers and the manager at the construction site told police Alexis had "stared" at workers over the previous month. The owner of the construction business told police he believed Alexis was angry over the parking situation at the site.
Police said in a news release Monday they referred the case to Seattle Municipal Court — although it is the City Attorney's Office, not the court, that handles misdemeanor charging decisions.
The Seattle City Attorney's Office said Monday that it never received a police report documenting the malicious mischief.
"Thus, we didn't review it for possible charges," spokeswoman Kimberly Mills said in an email.
The malicious-mischief case appears in a public database maintained by King County District Court, which handles misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor cases. An entry, however, states that the file was deleted a year later, on June 7, 2005, and there are no records available for viewing.
After his arrest, Alexis made a first appearance in court on June 4, 2004, handled by the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office, said Dan Donohoe, a spokesman for the office. At the hearing, Alexis was released on his personal recognizance with conditions, Donohoe said.
Alexis appeared in court again three days later but was released when no charges were referred by Seattle police to the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office, which normally handles felony charging decisions.
Seattle police did not provide further explanation Monday.
Details about Alexis' employment in the years before he joined the Navy Reserve were not immediately available. He appears to have held a job in Washington long enough to qualify for state unemployment benefits.
According to court records, the state Employment Security Department (ESD) determined in April 2007 that he had been overpaid $724. His enlistment date in the Navy was three weeks later.
In October 2007, the state filed a lien against him in Thurston County Superior Court, listing a Brooklyn, N.Y., apartment as Alexis' address.
Alexis has been in financial trouble, as well, court records show. In July 2008, he enrolled in a debt-management program through the Navy Federal Credit Union to deal with seven creditors, including the ESD. His monthly net income was listed as $1,393 and his living expenses as $675.
He satisfied the ESD debt in April 2010, records show.
Records show Alexis was involved in a two-car collision on northbound Interstate 405 in March 2005
and that he had no insurance at the time. He was fined $600.
Six years after the Seattle incident, Alexis again got in trouble for discharging a handgun, at The Orion Oak Hills apartments in Fort Worth on Sept. 5, 2010, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Alexis later told police the gun had gone off while he was cleaning it.
"He said that he was trying to clean his gun while cooking and that his hands were slippery. He told me that he began to take the gun apart when his hands slipped and pulled the trigger, discharging a round into the ceiling," the police report states.
Police arrested Alexis on suspicion of discharging a firearm in a municipality, a Class A misdemeanor.
Under Texas law, the case didn't constitute recklessness, so a case was not filed, Melody McDonald, a spokeswoman with the Tarrant County District Attorney's Office, told the Star-Telegram.
In Fort Worth, Alexis worked as a waiter at a Thai restaurant, studied the language and regularly chanted and meditated at Buddhist temples, the newspaper said.

And now, for the other side of my parents spectrum.
I saw the "The Evil Dead" for the first time when I was five years old. "Where were my parents?" you might ask? Answer, sitting right next to me on the couch. So scared was I by Sam Raimi's first significant work that at one point I shut my eyes so tightly that I might have sprained my eyelids. However, I remember liking it and remembering how great an actor i thought Bruce Campbell was. I was six years old when I first saw David Cronenberg's "The Brood", a film where a mentally troubled woman physically manifests her rage by birthing demonic toddler-like creatures who wear snow suits and kill her enemies. A few months later, my mom brought home a two-foot tall doll in a snow suit for my sister. That doll has terrified me for the last several decades of my life and will continue to do so until it or someone (Or something) very similar to it kills me. It will happen. It's not a question of "If", it's a question of "When". Are you getting the idea about what my parents did and did not think was appropriate? Then you will probably understand why I may have been the only seven-year-old who was really looking forward to the release of "Aliens", which happened twenty-five years ago today.
When I was seven, the movie that I watched more than any other was Ridley Scott's "Alien". My family owned a VHS copy of it (Back when people owned about as many movies as they did cars, which were about as expensive as tapes). It was one of the most gorgeous looking things I had ever seen, right behind Kimber from "Jem". It was not only my first real sci-fi movie, but also my first real horror movie. On the venn diagram of my tastes in life, this movie was clearly at the dead center.
Well, it was until I saw "Aliens".
When I first learned that there was going to be an sequel to "Alien" with MULTIPLE aliens AND guys with guns, I could hardly contain myself. My parents, fans of the genre themselves, actually did something they had not yet done in terms of my moviegoing up to that point: they actually saw the movie first to make sure it was OK for me to see. Normally, I had been right there in the petrie dish with my Mom and Dad as they would see whatever they damn well pleased. It made me very popular amongst my peers, "Your Mom and Dad let you see THAT movie?" etc. Now, here's the thing that I find really funny: My folks went to the theatre, watched "Aliens", looked at each other and said "Well, I don't see any reason that our seven-year-old can't see that movie". Pretty awesome, huh? Also, they were completely correct. I was never scared once by "Aliens". I was thrilled, excited, educated, enamored and permanently altered by it, but never scared. Well, maybe a little scared when Deitrich held up the head of that trapped colonist and she opens her eyes (More the fault of James Horner's music cue that accompanied it than anything else). James Cameron and his crew of geniuses set a standard for conventional, Hollywood entertainment that has, in my opinion, yet to be equaled. Not since "Animal House" has very character in a film transcended their archetype to the point where it creates it's own. Every plot point there to serve the story, but without feeling over-obvious. Every special effect and piece of production design flawless, practical, original and cool. Oscar-nomicated performances in a medium-sized summer action movie? Really? Yes. It's that good. It's just a shame that the Writer/Director went on to live a life of reclusiveness, obscurity and destitution. Legend has it he moved back to Canada and his first love, truck-driving.
Twenty five years later, I both thank and curse Ridley Scott, James Cameron and, most of all, my parents, for turning me into the man who writes this with his stubby, strawberry-ice cream stained fingers. Had they not all been so generous with their time, talent and instincts, I might have grown up to be a normal, well-adjusted person. Who the hell wants that? Now I'm off to score some of that Arturian poon-tang.
By the way, did I mention that I have a younger sister who went to all these movies as well?

Salvador named Devils' captain; Elias and Kovalchuk remain alternates
Devils coach Pete DeBoer announced after today's practice that defenseman Bryce Salvador has been named captain.
Patrik Elias and Iyla Kovalchuk remain the alternate captains.
Salvador is the 10th captain in team history. He takes over the C from Zach Parise, who signed with Minnesota as unrestricted free agent last summer.
The Devils placed center Tim Sestito on waivers today. He has to clear waivers at noon Friday to be assigned to Albany.
Sesito was only player in camp with the Devils placed on waivers, but Matt Anderson, Jeff Frazee, Jay Leach, Chad Wiseman and Steve Zalewski were also placed on waivers. Although those players are already with Albany, they have to clear waivers again with the NHL season about to start.

I have to make a trip down to the southwest tip of Indiana next week, and saw on a trail map that the Tunnel Hill trail isn't all that far from where I'll be (E'ville). So I'm thinking about taking my bike along, spend the night in E'ville and then drive over to Harrisburg in the morning to do some riding before heading home. From the pictures I've seen online, it looks like a very nice trail (especially the tunnel itself), but I do have a couple of questions for anyone who has ridden it....
Is it flat or hilly? Can't really tell by the pictures. Up here in northern Indiana, I pretty much stick to flat land (but then again, that's pretty much all we have in northwest IN LOL), so I'd like to be prepared ahead of times if the trail is somewhat up and down.
Another question is, is it paved all the way from Harrisburg to Vienna? The traillink.com website says it's concrete and crushed stone, but doesn't give much information about the areas that are stone. It does say that the "route in Harrisburg becomes a mix of crushed stone and concrete, ending at the trailhead on the north side of town." Is that the only stretch of crushed stone I'd have to worry about?
Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.

Annuity Board personal investing plan clears Executive Committee for SBC vote
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--The Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention approved changes to the Annuity Board's mission statement and expansion of its ministry assignments to include personal investing for Southern Baptist ministers and church employees.
The proposed changes must be approved by messengers at the SBC annual meeting in June in Orlando, Fla. Executive Committee approval, and other mostly routine business actions, came during its Feb. 21-22 meeting in Nashville, Tenn.
Changes to the Annuity Board's mission statement, which also include institutional investment management services for Southern Baptist organizations, clarifies the board's responsibilities "to assist the churches and other denominational entities by making available retirement plan services, life and health coverage, risk management programs and personal and institutional investment programs."
O.S. Hawkins, Annuity Board president and chief executive officer, said, "We appreciate the opportunity to expand our services for those we serve. Southern Baptists have always responded to the needs of those who serve our Lord.
"From the establishment of the Relief and Annuity Board [in 1918] to the addition of life and medical products, the Annuity Board has met the challenge to provide products and services that enhance the financial security of Baptist servants," Hawkins said.
The board's current ministry assignments include retirement plans, life and health coverage, risk management programs and relief programs. The two new ministry assignments would provide current participants with more opportunities to achieve an adequate retirement income, board officials said, and allow the board to work in cooperation with the Southern Baptist Foundation and Southern Baptist state foundations to meet investment needs of Southern Baptist organizations.
The vote by the Executive Committee followed months of negotiations between staffs and legal counsel of the Executive Committee, the Annuity Board and other entities.
Two Executive Committee members raised concerns during the discussion period. Both Steven D. Boyd, pastor of Simpsonville (Ky.) Baptist Church, and W. Ted Kersh, pastor of Village Baptist Church, Oklahoma City, said they were concerned that in the negotiations prior to the Executive Committee action some state convention officials' concerns about the matter were not given proper consideration. However, neither Boyd nor Kersh offered any amendments to the proposed recommendation.
The recommendation passed overwhelmingly although several negative votes were heard in the voice vote requested by Claude Thomas, Executive Committee chairman and pastor of First Baptist Church, Euless, Texas.
Personal investing opportunities for participants refers to the ability of a Southern Baptist pastor, staff member or denominational worker (or the spouse) to invest over and above the amounts that can go into a traditional retirement plan, board officials explained. The investment funds for personal investing will use the same investment guidelines adopted by the Annuity Board trustees.
The other new ministry assignment offers the Annuity Board's institutional investment management services to the Southern Baptist Foundation and state Baptist foundations (or state Baptist conventions where no foundation exists).
"The Annuity Board would like the opportunity to work in cooperation with Baptist foundations," said Roddy Cummins, executive officer for investments. "We believe this cooperation could enhance the ministries of Baptist foundations as they utilize our investment services and see us as a viable alternative to secular investment providers."
The Annuity Board would not offer estate planning services or assume any roles currently held by foundations, officials said.
"The Annuity Board is not proposing to overlap any of the ministries of the Baptist foundations and will only offer its services after reaching a cooperative agreement with each foundation," Cummins said.
In other business, a motion was approved, without generating debate or opposition, to ask each SBC entity's staff and trustees to review their "cooperative endeavors with other denominations and religious groups and report in writing on the status and implications of these endeavors to the Executive Committee" no later than Sept. 1 of this year.
The request related to a recommendation adopted during the September 1999 Executive Committee meeting that SBC entities "maintain the historic position of Southern Baptists as they cooperate with various other groups in appropriate evangelistic enterprises or moral advocacy initiatives ... ." The recommendation additionally asked SBC entities to "avoid committing Southern Baptist resources, personnel, or ministries to relationships which would compromise the historic distinctives or the unique witness of Southern Baptists to the world."
Also during the meeting, the Executive Committee:
-- approved a SBC Cooperative Program Allocation Budget for fiscal year 2000-01 of $167,996,385 which will be recommended for consideration by messengers to the SBC annual meeting in June. All the percentages for SBC entities included in the budget will remain the same as the current fiscal year, including 50 percent of the receipts for the International Mission Board for overseas missions. Keeping the same percentages for two years, although the dollar amounts may fluctuate according to the previous fiscal year's receipts, is a policy the Executive Committee adopted with last year's budget.
-- approved the addition of Liberty University, Lynchburg, Va., to the list of secondary exhibitors, on a space-available basis, at SBC annual meetings.
-- approved a request from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Ky., to incur $3.5 million in indebtedness for the conversion of Rice/Judson Halls to conference and guest housing.
-- approved New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary's undertaking of a capital campaign, "New Horizons: Equipping Leaders to Change the World," to be completed in 2020.
-- approved a request from the North American Mission Board to publish a new student periodical, GO!, six times a year, and a request from LifeWay Christian Resources for a yet-to-be-titled publication to support the agency's wellness program.
-- presented a resolution of appreciation to David T. Bunch, who retires March 31 after six years as executive director-treasurer of the Colorado Baptist General Convention. Bunch previously held administrative positions with the former SBC Home Mission Board and pastorates in Missouri and South Dakota.
-- approved two new directors for appointment to the Southern Baptist Foundation: Herbert T. Thomas of Alabama and Hollie Miller of Tennessee.
-- elected six SBC representatives on the Baptist World Alliance Youth Committee: Mike Lopez, associate director of the International Mission Board's student section; Dean N. Finley, national consultant to youth in the North American Mission Board's evangelism section; Bill Henry, director of LifeWay Christian Resources' National Student Ministry; Len Taylor, NAMB director for student evangelism; Laura Savage, Women on Mission consultant with Woman's Missionary Union; and John Tadlock, director of the Baptist General Association of Virginia's collegiate ministry group.
-- filled four positions on the 1999-2000 SBC Committee on Nominations, electing Wallace Edgar, pastor of Trinity Baptist Church, Texarkana, Ark.; Bob Yoder, member of Bookcliff Baptist Church, Grand Junction, Colo.; Gary Pack, pastor of First Baptist Church, Waverly, Ohio; and Rick Frie, pastor of First Baptist Church, Mustang, Okla.
-- approved an increase of 2.7 percent in the salary structure for Executive Committee staff.
-- received two checks, each totaling $50,600, in missions offerings received from the 46,000 participants in the seven-city YouthLink 2000 held Dec. 29-31. One check will be forwarded to the International Mission Board, the other to the North American Mission Board.
Executive Committee members also were informed that C. Barry McCarty of Cincinnati, longtime chief parliamentarian for SBC annual meetings, will again assume that role at this year's meeting in Orlando.

ARM Joins the Linux Foundation
The Linux Foundation has reinforcements from the hardware camp. CPU manufacturer ARM joined the Foundation on Monday.
ARM has for a long time contributed code to the Linux kernel. With ARM processors sold in around ten billion devices, the British company brings a lot of know-how to the Foundation.
Once inside the organization, ARM will logically concern itself primarily with mobile devices, writes the Foundation in a press release, but the chip developer is also interested in desktop environments.
ARM processors have traditionally been built into millions of mobile phones, such as the iPhone and Nokia's Internet-Tablets, but with the new energy-saving SoC solution, ARM also wants a piece of the netbook market. This would indirectly give Linux a new chance at the small portable devices. The first ARM-based notebooks are expected at the end of this year.

It has been pretty much impossible for smokers to be able to fight off the insane number of tax hikes that have been coming their way. Whether it is the smoking bans or the tax increases, smoking has never been more difficult. But it seems now that if you want to be able to beat the ridiculous taxation, at least in New York, then you may have to learn how to roll your own tobacco.
Up until this point there had been a heavy push to tax loose tobacco as much as regular cigarettes, but this caused a massive amount of complaining among people who roll their own cigarettes. To explain it rather simply, the reason why those who roll their own tobacco are able to not pay as much of the tax stems from the fact that their cigarettes do not come assembled. This means that they are not technically buying cigarettes, only the items required to make them. It's essentially the same as not having to pay the same amount of tax money for buying a car when you are only buying an engine.
While that is only the loosest explanation for it, regardless of complexity it equals good news for smokers in New York and potentially other places as well. States tend to emulate one another in terms of how laws get passed (at least laws of this nature) so it could end up being very good for smokers in other states.
If you want to try an alternative to regular cigarettes that involves no rolling at all, then give E Cigarettes a try. Click here for some great starter kit options!
