Long, narrow strips of leftover space—commonly found running between the front and back gardens beside the house-are too often neglected. Assuming these spaces are too small to landscape, many people spread a layer of gravel (stark and boring) or plant grass (soon trampled from repeated foot traffic). But with the right plant list and some creative thinking, these uninspired areas can become a verdant jewel in a gardener's crown.
Space savers
In this case, an inviting garden gate opened into an uninviting, sparsely planted passage, which slopes from the gate down to the steps of the deck. The space (shown above) is 6.3 metres long by just 1.35 metres at the top end and 1.65 metres at the bottom. It receives about three hours of midday sun. Plant life consisted of invasive, grow-anywhere variegated gout-weed (Aegopodium podagraria 'Variegatum'), some ho-hum violets (Viola spp.), a couple of patches of golden creeping Jenny and a young upright cedar. Red crushed brick allowed runoff to percolate into the soil but perversely stopped midway down the path.
Here's what we did to bring out the best in this small, narrow space, which is in Zone 5:
To make the path more appealing and connect with the deck's steps, a few large, grey, rectangular patio stones were mixed in with red, 30 centimetre square ones, creating a checkerboard pattern and a strong graphic element. Placing the patio stones in a loose, irregular mosaic and angling the path toward the fence, then back to the deck side, broke up the long line and provided decent-sized planting pockets on both sides. More crushed brick stabilized the patio stones and facilitated drainage.
The goutweed and weedy violets had to go, but the golden creeping Jenny and cedar near the deck stairs remained. Weeds and grass were also removed to give new plants a competition-free zone. Soil in the planting pockets was cultivated and amended with triple mix-a combination of loam, peat moss and aged manure.
To add height and break up the long expanse of wooden fence boards, a chocolate vine was planted halfway down the side, and an upright 'Hill's' yew was placed to soften the jog where the wall of a storage area beside the house meets the deck. Both tolerate shade. The chocolate vine climbs thin wires stretched between eye hooks screwed into the fence-a simple way to create an unobtrusive trellis.
A few large rocks were grouped in a couple of areas on either side of the path to add more visual interest and lead the eye down the space. A small glazed bird bath brightens the area, too.

First ladying seems like a pretty fascinating job. I realize that sounds like the begining of a 4th grader's "what do you want to be when you grow up?" essay, but it is a fascinating job in spite of that. Do you know why? Because it requires having a good cookie recipe. Seriously.
I bet when Michelle Obama was working at a law firm, getting married to this young hot-shot lawyer Barack Obama, she did not think "Torts!? You mean tarts! I had better start working on my baked good skills now." No. Of course she didn't. I mean, she had shit to do.
Little did she know her lack of a good recipe was going to, as Slate has pointed out, LOSE HER HUSBAND THE ELECTION. Jesus Christ, why did she bother being a lawyer and doing law stuff when she could have been learning to make recipes that 1) did not involve Crisco and 2) did involve oats?
I'm sorry, but Ann Romney was on this stuff like it was her job.
And now, both have to compete in the Family Circle presidential cookie-bake-off, which has been a tradition since 1992 when Hillary Clinton insulted the cookie baking women of America by saying that "I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was fulfill my profession." Family Circle challenged Hillary Clinton and Barbara Bush to a bake-off and Hillary provided a chocolate chip cookie recipe that beat Barbara Bush's variation.
Since then, the First Lady Bake-Off has run every election year. Last time, Obama's recipe for shortbread cookies was beaten by Cindy McCain's recipe for oatmeal butterscotch cookies, which also marks the first time that the spouse with the losing cookie recipe became First Lady.
Suffice to say, it seems really interesting that if Americans want a President they could play poker with, they still want a first lady who will bake them cookies. Really good cookies.
In an effort to one day cultivate my own cookie recipes, I decided to bake both Obama's and Romney's, take them to a 4th of July party, and ask people which they preferred. Here's how they looked next to one another:
Ann Romney's are the ones with M&Ms, Michelle Obama's are the ones with black and white chocolate chunks. Which frankly seems pretty bold in an "ebony and ivory" kind of way of her. There were also supposed to be mint chocolate chips in them. I do not know which group of people mint chocolate chips represent. Elves, maybe. People from a cold climate.
I honestly assumed that Ann Romney's would win in this because, well, again, baking cookies kind of seems like her job, but I cannot anticipate what peope like! Here are the two recipes:

Karaoke, or Kareoke as it is popularly known, is a word derived from the Japanese language, meaning Empty Orchestra. As the name suggests, it involves a group of musicians, usually playing a popular number, only with the lack of the vocalist. The player is required to fill-in the absence of the real singer by singing the lyrics of the number while the audience judges his singing talent.
How to play Karaoke
Karaoke can be played in a group or solo. Music reproduction systems like Tape and CD players usually feature a Karaoke mode, which will recede the vocal part of the song to the background, leaving the musical accompaniment intact. The user or player can either sing along with the music or if in possession of sufficient talent, can plug in a karaoke microphone and record his own voice along with the original music. Competitions are arranged to test budding singers for their talent, and Karaoke takes a special place among these tests. A random choice is made for a song from a pool, and players display their karaoke talents to be rated by judges.
Today, several websites offer voiceless versions of songs which can be played online. These are often of much better quality, since they are edited by more complex digital equipment, than the versions created by the Karaoke mode of the Tape and CD players. Karaoke enjoys popularity in North America and some Asian countries like Philipines and Japan, mostly as performance in gatherings and group parties. In several places, taxi cabs have a Karaoke mode, where the passenger can sing to pass the time waiting to reach his destination. Special CDs are also available where the voice of the singer is recorded on a separate track and can be switched off for a karaoke session. This usually calls for a special CD+G player.

"He who will not economize will have to agonize." — Confucius [Kung Fu-tse] (551-479 B.C.)
DownsizeDC.org spent months studying the Social Security mess. It was depressing. There is NO easy, painless way to fix the problem. We settled on the following goals . . .
When we say "depend" we're distinguishing between those who need Social Security to survive, and those who don't. For instance, Warren Buffet qualifies for Social Security, but he doesn't need it. It's wrong to rob the young to pay his benefits. With these thoughts in mind we propose four changes . . .
We settled on these four proposals because, sadly, there is no way to give everyone exactly what the politicians promised them, and/or to let young people completely out of Social Security.
Keeping all of the irresponsible promises the politicians made would crush young people under the highest taxes that anyone has ever had to pay. On the other hand . . .
If young people could opt-out entirely then there wouldn't be enough money to pay benefits to those who depend on them.
Some organizations, like the Cato Institute, have advocated borrowing in order to allow more young people to opt-out of Social Security. We think this is a reasonable proposal for the simple reason that young people would probably benefit from paying off this increased debt instead of paying the Social Security tax, but . . .
We have not advocated this approach here because of uncertainty about the Federal State's future ability to borrow.
These factors are why we have limited our proposals the way we have, but even our suggested changes will be hard to pass.
To be blunt, America's seniors are the biggest obstacle to preventing disaster. They have blocked all attempts to fix the mess, simply out of mindless, childish fear. Here's the truth . . .
No one wants to harm people who are dependent on Social Security. NO ONE! In fact, the overwhelming majority of working Americans are willing to sacrifice to protect vulnerable seniors, but fear mongering by con-artist politicians, and AARP, constantly convinces seniors to react to all talk of change with hysterical fear.
Seniors need to start acting like mature adults instead of immature children, and start supporting changes, rather than blocking them. Otherwise . . .
In other words — seniors need to become the solution, instead of the problem. They can do this by supporting the proposals we make here. Let's consider each proposal in turn . . .
Some will oppose raising the retirement age, because previous generations got a better deal. This is a bad argument . . .
All Ponzi schemes give a better deal early on. That's how Ponzi frauds work. This is what we must change. It isn't fair that the final victims of the scheme should pay all the costs for mistakes made by earlier generations.
Older generations had decades to force the politicians to reform the system. Instead, they did nothing. Who should pay for this failing, the older people who neglected their civic responsibilities, or the blameless young?
Finally, the original retirement age was set at 65. That was the average life expectancy when the scheme was created. Raising the current retirement age to match current life expectancy merely maintains the scheme's original design.
The same arguments apply to any objections about means-testing.
Some will also argue against allowing young people to opt out of the system, for two reasons . . .
Reason #1: Alternative forms of retirement savings are supposedly too risky.
Social Security's multi-trillion dollar unfunded liabilities refute this objection. Social Security is a Ponzi scheme, and nothing is riskier. Ponzi schemes always collapse. That's why you're reading this campaign!
Reason #2: Taxes from the young are needed to fund current benefits.
Sadly, this may limit the Social Security opt-out for the young. But even a small opt-out is better than no opt-out! In addition, the politicians could, and should, enhance the opt-out by cutting other federal spending, and perhaps even by selling off federal assets that serve no Constitutional purpose.
If you like these proposals, please use our Educate the Powerful System, at right, to send a letter to Congress. We've hardwired the first sentence in the letter to Congress to read as follows . . .
Please take steps to reduce Social Security's liabilities.
This prevents people from hijacking our system for other purposes. But it still allows you to write instructions to your representatives using your own words to specify the means you prefer for reducing Social Security's liabilities.
Finally . . .
If you're a grandparent seeking to protect your grandchildren from crushing taxation, please tell Congress that! Please let them know that you can't be manipulated into unreasonable fear. And if you're a person of independent means who supports means-testing, please tell them that too.
PLEASE NOTE: Every member of the Downsize DC staff will have to pay the costs involved with raising the retirement age. We are willing to pay that price. We are willing to sacrifice to fix the Social Security mess. How about you?
Use the form at right to send your elected representatives a letter about this issue. It's easy!
We provide the first few words of the letter so that Congressional offices will see the most important point right at the start, and so that no one can hijack our system for another purpose. Here's the part we provide . . .

Survey in a War Zone: More than Half of Afghans See NATO as Occupiers
Fully 60 percent of Afghans fear that the country will descend into civil war once NATO forces leave, but over half see the Western alliance as occupiers. A new survey carried out be the Konrad Adenauer Foundation has found that the mood in Afghanistan is worsening.
The troops are there, according to the mission statement, to "provide a secure environment for sustainable stability." But 10 years after NATO entered Afghanistan to drive out al-Qaida and beat back the Taliban, a majority of the local population has come to see the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) as little more than occupiers.
Babak Khalatbari, head of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation's Afghanistan office, said on Tuesday that the results were "a matter of concern."
The survey has been completed each year since 2008 and is carried out in conjunction with the National Centre for Policy Research at the University of Kabul. Some 5,000 Afghans were interviewed in five provinces in late September. Though the Konrad Adenauer Foundation warns that the poll is not strictly representative, the results are broadly consistent with the impression most in the West have about Afghanistan: The situation appears to be worsening.
Far from Subdued
"The survey results show that in Afghanistan, there appears to be an increasing amount of anxiety and fear rather than hope," Khalatbari said.
With a decade having elapsed since the US and NATO marched into Afghanistan in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, many in the West have begun to see the mission as a failure. Security in the country is perceived as fragile and the Taliban are far from subdued.
But even as Afghans have an increasingly negative view of NATO troops, their view of the Taliban is plummeting as well. In 2010, 74 percent of those surveyed were in favor of talks with the Islamists; this year, that number has dropped to 63 percent. Only 51 percent would be in favor of granting the Taliban a share of power in the country, down 10 percentage points from last year.
The survey likewise did not reflect well on Afghanistan's political leadership under President Hamid Karzai. Just 31 percent of those surveyed are pleased with the work of their government, down four percentage points from last year. In the capital Kabul, just 17 percent thought the government was doing a good job. Trust in state institutions is also abysmal. Only 28 percent of those surveyed had faith in the country's ministries and agencies.

During my many conversations with law enforcement executives, I am asked "isn't Intelligence-Led Policing just for large agencies?" This is perhaps the largest misconception surrounding Intelligence Led Policing. In fact, there's a few myths that feed the idea that ILP isn't for every agency. So much so, that I'd compelled to put finger to keyboard to shed some light on the truth. Here's some the top myths that persists in the market today.
Myth #1. Intelligence-Led Policing has roots in concepts from the FBI and other national level agencies, and well, the federal system is nothing like ours.
There is a long held belief, and generally rooted in truth, that national law enforcement agencies and local law enforcement agencies do not play well with each other. Along with that belief, and not holding with the truth, is that federal and local agencies do not deal with the same problems. We do deal with the same problems, just with larger or smaller quantities.
9/11 taught us that the communication break down between federal and local agencies caused a security risk that not only affected certain areas; it affected the nation as a whole. In the same way, we need to think of our agencies not solely in respect to their size, but as a part of a larger whole. The better each agency understands their crime and the patterns around those crimes, they are then able to share that information with neighboring agencies and thus work together to attack the bigger crime pattern in their geographic area.
Myth #2. "We are a small city, we know our crimes. We don't need some new way of policing to tell us what is going on in our city."
This is a very commonly held belief among smaller rural agencies. We all know that good cops with some years under their belt have a great sense of what is going on in their city. These are the folks that the rookies can rely upon to give them the best start on understanding crime in their city. I have found that within each department there are a number of these veteran cops with this type of good information and sense about their city.
However, I have also found that each of these cops have expertise and specific knowledge in different areas and very rarely do they come together to put this information in one location that everyone can access. I encourage the command staff of these agencies to choose one of these veteran officers as their Intelligence Officer, train them in Intel and give them what they need to gather that information and utilize it to better the department. I tell these agencies that they are already embracing the idea of intelligence led policing, now put it to work.
Myth #3. "Intelligence-Led Policing is an expensive money drain that takes a good officer off the street and wastes their efforts."
Many administrators believe that creating an Intelligence-Led Policing division takes expensive software, extensive training, and the "loss" of a good officer. They see super large agencies with expansive computers systems and large groups of Intel Analysts and believe that this is the only way to accomplish Intelligence-Led Policing.
Not True! The size of your intelligence unit should reflect the size of your department. A very effective intelligence unit can consist of one officer if that is along the lines of the size of the department. Likewise, the software used to assist with the intelligence unit can be relatively inexpensive. The key is to find software addresses the needs of your agency and is easy to use. A cost-effective and smart solution utilizes the scalable and readily available infrastructure available to in a cloud-based setup.
A cloud-based platform allows an agency the flexibility of having a large, powerful data resource without the cost of owning their own servers, maintenance that comes with that, or the IT resource required to manage it all.
Intelligence-Led Policing isn't about over-priced, uber-tech gadgets. It's about utilizing the data that you've accumulated over decades of policing your citizenry to harvest actionable intelligence that ultimately allows you to make decisions that keep your community safer. Don't let the myths remain. Debunk them by exploring tools that allow you to take your intelligence efforts to the next level.

I have an in-memory cache which stores a set of information by a certain level of aggregation - in the Students example below let's say I store it by Year, Subject, Teacher:
# Students Year Subject Teacher
1 30 7 Math Mrs Smith
2 28 7 Math Mr Cork
3 20 8 Math Mrs Smith
4 20 8 English Mr White
5 18 8 English Mr Book
6 10 12 Math Mrs Jones
Now unfortunately my cache doesn't have GROUP BY or similar functions - so when I want to look at things at a higher level of aggregation, I will have to 'roll up' the data myself. For example, if I aggregate Students by Year, Subject the aforementioned data would look like so:
# Students Year Subject
1 58 7 Math
2 20 8 Math
3 38 8 English
4 10 12 Math
My question is thus - how would I best do this in Java? Theoretically I could be pulling back tens of thousands of objects from this cache, so being able to 'roll up' these collections quickly may become very important.
My initial (perhaps naive) thought would be to do something along the following lines;
Until I exhaust the list of records:
- Each 'unique' record that I come across is added as a key to a hashmap.
- If I encounter a record that has the same data for this new level of aggregation, add its quantity to the existing one.
Now for all I know this is a fairly common problem and there's much better ways of doing this. So I'd welcome any feedback as to whether I'm pointing myself in the right direction.
"Get a new cache" not an option I'm afraid :)

In July 2008 Girlfriend (right), our newest adult PMU rescued from the slaughterhouse was pregnant and gave birth. Her filly was named Pistolero. She was a joy and a bit of a terror, but we loved her just the same for she exhibited grace, strength, and courage greater than that shown by many other animals or humans.
As Pistolero grew it was clear that she had some problems. Both of her front legs were bowed outward. In an attempt to correct this problem she was placed in special glue-on shoes. The deviation was too great and she later under went surgery on both legs. It was in these times that her greatest attributes shown through so brightly. She reminded her caretakers that strength, courage, nor grace can be determined by anyones size or age.
Pistolero was fortunate and made a wonderful recovery. Once the surgery was complete she wasted no time before trying out her improved legs and took every opportunity to race through the paddock and jump around.
Although her life was short she brought love and hope to all whom knew her and reminded those at Godspeed Horse Hostel why we work so hard to save these horses.
Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. Her bright eyes are intent. Her eager body quivers. Suddenly she begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, her legs carrying her faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your friend, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Duke came to Godspeed Horse
Rescue in 2012. I met Mia the Director
of Godspeed through Duke's previous, Duke was well in his late 20's by the time
he arrived at Godspeed. When I think of Duke I think of John Wayne. Dukes personality was very special. He was a
horse that was safe to ride, sweet, a good friend, trustworthy, great with
children too.
Duke's family were going
through a number of issues, and the living arrangements for Duke were not fair
for him, especially in his later years.They wanted to find him a good home to live out his senior
Mia was preparing a therapeutic
riding program and thought Duke would be perfect. Duke's owner introduced me to Mia,
and suggested Mia might need some help taking her horses out on the trails.
I started riding Duke at Godspeed
on the trails to keep him fit. Duke was
old, with the normal old age issues, arthritis,
soreness of legs, etc. I was so
impressed with the care Mia took of Duke and all her horses. Duke was always ridden in support boots and
after the ride was rubbed down and linament applied too. Duke lived a good life at Godspeed. At first he hadn't been on grass for years so Mia was
careful at first. The other thing is that he was stabled alone because he was
aggressive but in time he had a group he went out with and was able to be a
horse again. This past autumn 2014 Duke's legs started to get very
painful for him. Mia treated him with
utmost care and attention, wrapping his legs, ointments, supplements (which he
had been getting all long) but things were not getting better. Early winter Duke could not get up, and it
was time to put him to rest.
I will dearly miss Duke, and also
the missed opportunities he could have shared with the riding programs which
are in the works to begin in 2015.
God Bless Duke who is looking
down on us always.

13 Signs You Are Meant To Be Self-Employed
November 19, 2012 • comment(s)
Your boss is driving you crazy because of his short-sightedness.
You don't get along with the other employees because you keep taking control of team projects and bossing everyone around.
You are sick of your great ideas being ignored.
You are frustrated at the status quo and the lack of innovation in your field.
Maybe you've been discriminated against, laid off, restructured, demoted and under-valued.
You're fed up and ready for a change.
Does this sound like you? Then you may be ready to step out on your own and join the growing ranks of the self-employed!
I've found that there are 13 important characteristics that predispose people to go out on their own, and I've listed them here. If this list sounds anything like you, then seriously consider starting fresh and being your own boss. I know that I have never regretted it!
13 Signs You're Meant To Be Self-Employed
1) You want flexibility in your schedule. Yes, everyone wants this. However, to succeed out on your own, you have to understand that being self-employed does not mean a shorter work week – in fact, it usually means a longer day and week. I have been self-employed for two years and it's nearly impossible to take a vacation longer than a 3-day weekend. However, if it's a really nice afternoon and I'm not on deadline, I can go to the beach or sit outside or take my daughter to the park. With self-employment, you make the rules of your schedule, but time not working is time that is not paid. This trade-off is one that you appreciate and are willing to embrace.
2) You want more control over your ideas, your projects and the work that you do. Are you a control freak and a micro-manager? Are you Type A personality? (I know that I am.) I can't imagine having to run things past a co-worker or a boss now. M work and my ideas are mine alone and the only criticism I get is from my clients (positive or negative).
3) You don't play well with others. People generally consider me to be friendly, gregarious and outgoing (and humble). However, in a work setting involving a team project, I turn bossy and controlling. Being self-employed, I have made a conscious decision not to grow my business to more than one full-time employee. I do work with other freelancers and contractors as needed, but I don't manage or supervise anyone, and I love it that way.
4) You have passion for what you do. Whatever you decide to do with your one person business, you need to have an ability to translate your passion to your customers and clients. The self-employed thrive on an unbridled enthusiasm for their work. Otherwise you will quickly burn out and get discouraged.
5) You are a good listener. Being self-employed does not mean talking about yourself all the time to anyone who will listen – quite the opposite. You need to listen to conversations in your industry, listen carefully to your customers and your clients and become a fantastic analytical thinker. Be able to repeat back to people what they are saying to you and offer solutions to their problems.
6) You are comfortable being "the decider". When you are your own boss, you can't pass the buck. You are your brand and your business, and if something goes wrong or there is a complaint, you need to embrace the criticism, make improvements and move on.

Yep, I was sporting quite a few of these because I was having a higher vision of a better way to do things than the decision-makers did.I may be working longer hours now but at least I'm making that compromise on MY terms.
By Dianne Dixon • May 25, 2012 - 03:39pm.
I've recently decided to start out on my own, so I found your tips helpful. (I am currently trying to generate my first paid work.)
Personally, politics also puts me off wanting to work for a company.
With ref to 6), if you are self-employed, it helps that any decisions you make will always be in the best interests of the company (because you *are* the company.)
Whereas, office politics can often undermine good decision making in companies; that can stop them creating great products and services. Personal or department agendas are often a 'deciding' factor.
By Tony Gallacher • April 13, 2012 - 08:35am.
I wholeheartedly agree. I always have to be 100% confident in my decisions, b/c the buck stops with me. But I love that aspect of self-employment.
I also completely agree with out about office politics - backstabbing, ladder climbing, etc. For me, the last straw was being laid off when I was 9 months pregnant!

Welcome aboard, Aaron! You've already proven to be an excellent judge of character!
i like this pickup. with a year in the weightroom, he should be around 270 and hopefully he doesnt lose much speed. i really like this pickup.

According to what? Rivals said that Moore withdrew his offer.
Wow, he chiziked the chizik. Amazing.

Jamie Pollard, 2005-. 4 years. 1 bowl game, 0 NCAA's, 0 NIT's. Postseason participation: 13%. The next big step.
My ignore list: splitidentity, tarheelhawk,superdorf, clones_jer. That is all.
Great catch.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.

The Packers made headlines earlier this off season when they rearranged their offensive line, moving right tackle Brian Bulaga and all-pro guard Josh Sitton to the left side, as well as moving left guard T.J. Lang to right guard. Note that EDS has been penciled in as the starting center since the end of the draft, although that scares me. This leaves the right tackle position wide open. Let's look at the candidates.
David Bakhtiari- This is a very interesting scenario. Bakhtiari, a fourth round draft choice in April, is perhaps the most intriguing name in the bunch. He has the skills necessary to be a good starting tackle, but is he refined enough to take the job right away as a rookie? That will be up to McCarthy and this coaching staff.
Andrew Datko- Datko, a 7th round draft choice of the Packers last year, would have been a top draft choice if it weren't for his injuries in college. If he is healthy, he has as much talent as anyone vying for this job. Question is, will he be healthy, and will he be ready to play?
Marshall Newhouse- Newhouse could be kept as a backup based on experience, even if it wasn't pretty.
Don Barclay- Barclay should be penciled in at the top of the depth chart by default right now, as it should be. Barclay, a 2012 undrafted free agent, gave nothing short of a heroic effort stepping in for the injured Brian Bulaga last season, and was yet another example of the Packers style of draft and develop. He could be beat out, and I hope he is beat out by a more talented player such as Datko or the next guy on this list, but he still should be kept as a reserve.
Derek Sherrod- This is a perfect example of why life never goes as planned. If everything would have gone according to plan, Sherrod would be the starting left tackle of the Packers right now, and he would be one of the game's best. Coming out of college Sherrod was a semi-raw, but physically gifted and athletic lineman. Injuries have derailed his career, and have caused a mess along the offensive line. If healthy, he is the Packers most gifted offensive lineman and should be the starting right tackle.

Koalas have a new hangout at SD Zoo
Koalas, those cuddly looking Aussie imports, for years spent much of their time indoors at the San Diego Zoo, the idea being that a temperature-controlled environment would be optimal for the health of females who are breeding and their young offspring.
Quite the opposite, researchers later learned. Without natural sunlight, the maturing marsupials were developing degenerative bone disease. The trouble was, there simply wasn't enough room at the zoo's koala exhibit to perch all the animals outdoors all the time.
Not so anymore. With the debut Friday of the zoo's Conrad Prebys Australian Outback exhibit, the growing koala population will be able to thrive outdoors in a far-roomier environment, joining other marsupials and birds native to the land Down Under.
Designed to mimic the animals' Australian homeland, the $7.4 million exhibit not only includes a brand-new habitat with more enclosures for the tree-perching koalas, but also aviaries and dedicated areas for wallabies and wombats — all accented with Aussie architecture, plantings and 8-foot-to-15-foot-tall Aboriginal-inspired totem poles.
Australian Outback
21: Koalas (12 male, nine female)
17 years: Age of oldest koala
9 months: Age of youngest koala
3: Baby koalas

4: Wombats
6: Parma wallabies
23: Species of birds
150: Birds once move-in is complete
Source: San Diego Zoo
While zoo officials say the new exhibit will improve the visitor experience, its greatest value is the enhanced health of the animals, believes Geoff Pye, the zoo's senior veterinarian. San Diego currently has the largest colony of koalas outside Australia.
"I'm over the top about it. From my point of view, it's the primary reason (for the new exhibit)," said Pye, whose research both in San Diego and on a remote, uninhabited Australian island led to scientific proof that koalas depend on exposure to sunlight to keep dysplasia and other bone disease at bay. "The bone conditions we see are the most obvious effects of vitamin D deficiency, so being able to put all of the koalas outside will help improve the overall health of the koalas.
"I'd rather prevent diseases than react to them, but you can't just build a new exhibit overnight."
While it was conceived four years ago, talk of replacing the aging, 1970s-era koala exhibit dates back a decade or more. Maintenance needs grew, and access for the disabled, while adequate, wasn't compliant with the most recent federal guidelines, explained Steve Fobes, architect for San Diego Zoo Global.
As ideas for upgrading the koala area grew more ambitious, it became clear that substantial funding would be needed. Enter San Diego businessman-philanthropist Conrad Prebys, a self-described lover of animals. He'd already contributed substantial sums for the zoo's elephant care center and polar bear exhibit and remained eager to do more.
"I was so thrilled by the result of my gift when it was completed, I approached the zoo and said, 'If you have anything coming down the pike, be sure and call me first,' " recalled Prebys, president of Progress Construction.
He ultimately made a $15 million donation, $4 million of which went toward financing Australian Outback. The remaining funding came from a variety of donors, whose names will be identified on plaques within the exhibit. The balance of Prebys' donation has been set aside for Africa Rocks, a future project to renovate one of the older canyon areas of the zoo.
"They also promised me they'd get some Tasmanian devils in (for Outback)," said Prebys. "I became a fan of them and went on a trip to Sydney, Australia, just to see them and also went to the state of Tasmania to see more of them. That was 10 years ago."

Nautilus Boots: Men's N9546 Steel Toe Waterproof EH Brown Work Boots

dont need brake in time like my more expensive boots...
By: jdog
I needed new boots for work. I am a production worker on my feet all day dealing with chemicals. My company pays for our boots but the shoe store we deal with didn't carry my size, so I always had sore feet. What I like the most is the fit you get with the size 14's. When you have feet that size you don't get many choices, I was able to get a hiking shoe with a Medium width. I didn't need any brake in time witht these Nautilus boots, they were very comfy better from the start, than my sneakers type boots. These work boots also provide good traction on wet floors. I would recommend this product. My employer saw I spent 20 to 40 dollars less than the other employees, and theirs didn't even have what my boots had. Non-slip, electrical shock resistance, acid proof, chemical proof, water proof. These are some great work boots.

boots wore out allready...
By: jdog
I bought these boots loved them at first and then the inside heal wore out. I cant find anything to fix them with. The outside and bottom sole is like new. I'm not sure if all the boots will breakdown as fast as these did I can't take the chance I won't get second pair.

Welcome to the second installment of The Offensive Professor. The man is preoccupied with heterosexual relations, and uses interactions between the sexes to illustrate economic principles on a regular basis. It's super charming.
This week he was teaching a lesson on monopolies.
"The marriage contract is a monopoly," he explained. "It eliminates competition in the market."
OK, fair enough.
"Don't be surprised when your husband or wife changes after marriage; they don't have to try as hard once they've established a monopoly."
All right, that makes sense.
"When the department has parties, I tell my female students to resist that second helping of food. 'You can eat once you get married,' I tell them."
Cue boistrous laughter from almost everyone in the class. Cue groan from SarahMC. I noticed another woman, sitting two rows over, who didn't look amused. I wonder if she's recovering from an eating disorder. Or maybe she's just a "humorless" harpy like I am. I wonder how many women in the class have eating disorders, or are recovering from eating disorders. Considering how prevalent poor body image and disordered eating are among college women, I found it unbelievable that my professor would make such a comment – essentially encouraging women to restrict their food intake to attract men – in front of the class. I think he specifically enjoys disparaging women when he's in front of a captive audiene of a dozen women (and a dozen men).

November 9. MASTERS world records continued to fall in East Coast meets both south and north last month.
At the Dixie Zone Championships in Orlando, Florida, October 5-7, no fewer than eight short course meters world marks were swept away, with Olympians Martin Zubero and June Krauser doing most of the sweeping.
Zubero, 32, the 1992 Olympic champion in the 200m backstroke and the world record-holder until Lenny Krayzelburg lowered his mark in 1999, destroyed a superb men's 30-34 global standard in that same event, clocking 2:00.43. John Keppeler, USA, set the old mark of 2:02.91 two years ago.
Zubero split: 28.84, 59.26, 1:30.24, 2:00.43.
Zubero, representing Orlando Masters, also took the 50m backstroke mark of 25.95 held by the USA's Derek Robinson down to 25.54. He finished off by swimming the 100m IM in 56.98, taking away the record of 57.84 set five years ago by Japan's Hiroshi Miura.
Krauser, 75, swimming for Florida Gold Coast Masters, accounted for three records in the women's 75-79 age group. The "mother of Masters swimming" clocked 3:43.58 for the 200 IM, chopping 20 seconds off the mark of 4:03.47 set less than a year earlier by Australia's Mary Cunningham. She followed with a 7:52.71 effort in the 400 IM, knocking 38 seconds off the record of 8:30.82 held by the USA's Lois Kivi Nochman for the past two years.
Krauser finished her weekend by clocking 7:00.56 for the 400 free, a tad better than the USA's Margery Meyer's 7:01.36 from 1998. Krauser, no doubt, has her sights set on going under 7 minutes.
Orlando Masters' John McCall broke Boo Graner Gallas' record of 1:02.54 for the 100m fly for men 50-54 set four years ago. McCall clocked a swift 1:01.95.
In the men's 55-59 division, Joel Burns flew through 50 meters butterfly in 28.37 seconds, two-tenths of a second under Jim Dragon's mark from 1999.
Three weeks later, up north at Wheaton College in Massachusetts, Greg Shaw also lowered Boo Gallas' 100 fly mark. Shaw, 50, clocked 1:01.98, just three-hundredths slower than McCall's swim in Orlando.
Shaw has been swimming for New England Masters for a little more than a year after a swimming "layoff" of 30 years. Greg swam one year at ASU before
"temporarily" retiring from competitive swimming. The guy's got potential.

Prosecutor's office declines to file formal charges against five teens arrested for shooting
ELKHART — The five teenagers arrested last week following a shooting in Goshen could be released as soon as Monday, April 22, after the Elkhart County Prosecutor's office declined to file formal charges against them.
The prosecutor's office said in a press release that "although probable cause was found which justified the detention of these individuals, the charging decision is one that requires a much higher level of scrutiny."
According to the press release, the Goshen Police Department will continue to investigate the incident that happened the evening of April 14.
Witnesses told police they were gathered at about 9:30 p.m. at a house near the intersection of Middlebury and School streets when two vehicles approached them. They said one or more individuals started shooting at them from one of the cars. Four teenagers were injured as a result of the shooting. Three were taken to IU Health Goshen hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
Police initiated an investigation that led to the arrest of five teenagers Monday night, April 15:
Diego Ramos, 19, of Elkhart, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, and criminal gang activity.
Abraham Delgado, 16, of Goshen, was arrested on suspicion of attempted battery with a deadly Weapon and criminal gang activity.
Christian Bueno-Resendis, 16, of Goshen, was arrested on suspicion of assisting a criminal and criminal gang activity.
Alejandro Bueno, 16, was arrested on suspicion of criminal gang activity.
Jonathan Delgado, 15, of Goshen was sent to juvenile detention. He was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder and criminal gang activity.
According to a press release from the prosecutor's office, a judicial officer found probable cause to support the arrest of the teenagers on Thursday. However, the prosecuting attorney in the case had 72 hours since the determination of probable cause to make a formal decision, whether or not to file charges.
The teens will be released as soon as the Elkhart County Jail is formally notified because they have not been charged at this time. However, they may be arrested again if the prosecuting attorney receives information that could merit the filing of formal charges.
The prosecutor's office asked the police department to "document facts and circumstances that have not been fully investigated.
"Upon being satisfied that the Goshen Police Department has completed its investigation, the investigation will be reviewed again and a formal filing decision will be made, at that time, determining what charges, if any, are appropriate for each individual," the prosecutor's office said in a statement.

Actually, H264 is a newly launched video codec which is the advanced version of previous codec and supported by MOV format. The best part of this codec is that it gives expected video quality in less the size of other formats like MP4V, etc. But H264 MOV file is not an exception and may get corrupted / inaccessible / refused to open under some circumstances. Then a question occurs "is it possible to repair H264 MOV file efficiently?
When H264 MOV file becomes unplayable?
To be frank, you cannot get rid of above mentioned scenarios completely but using tips which are given in the last section, disasters can be averted up to certain edge. Well, there are plenty of products available in the market that gives repair assurance but all are not up to mark. If you are smart enough, employ Remo Repair MOV that is an all in one utility to fix out H264 MOV file on your Windows as well as Mac computer. For detailed functionality of this software you have to go through the next section.
What Remo Repair MOV offers?

It is prepared with the well organized and simple graphical user interface for both Windows and Macintosh users.

I was curious as to what you would say is the best song ever, no matter the genre.
I would have to say IMO the best song is "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"-Pink Floyd
That song is simply amazing. Curious to see yours.
Favorite Posters: Bo Derek, Farrah Fawcett, Britney Spears, Tiffani-Amber Theissen, Marilyn Monroe, Jordan from the FT Line, Ali over Liston, Bo Jackson, Cat Hanging from a Limb

I listen to way too much music to pick one favorite. Even if you broke down by category I'd have a tough time. So for recent listing of song that I keep repeating:
NSFW: language

Good choice. I'm not a big Springsteen fan but his song writing and lyrics are so strong and evocative that he has to be respected as a master of American music.
Non-Springsteen (I have to do this since I am obsessed, LOL):
"I'm Bad Like Jesse James" - John Lee Hooker
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BM175x6xGVQ]YouTube - John Lee Hooker- I'm bad like Jesse James[/ame]
Impossible to pick one. If I had to, it's this one:

Other greats:

I feel the same way! Exactly...and the song above would come up for sure in my "best song ever" list at some point...pretty early actually!
Originally Posted by ISUKyro

Simple Man is a great song. I just feel that Free Bird is the definition of "epic".
Gotta go with Zeppelin here...

A great song. Not enough people have hard this one.
I'm intentionally trying to avoid some of the more obscure stuff I listen to here. These aren't necessarily my personal favorite songs (although I love them all dearly), as much as I think they are songs that embody some kind of universal concept of "greatness".
If that makes any sense.

In praise of those who come to help
(Page 2 of 2)
Wisely, the Red Cross knows how to partner with organizations that already have the facilities and systems that help those in need on Long Island, and it provides grants to such groups as Island Harvest, the Community Development Corporation of Long Island, the Health & Welfare Council of Long Island, the United Way (which in turn funds Freeport Pride and the Friedberg JCC, among others), FEGS Health & Human Services and the Disability Opportunity Fund.
Thanks in whole or in part to the Red Cross of Long Island, children who lost so much school time because of Sandy are getting tutoring help, victims of house fires have a place to stay, hungry families are fed and people at their wits' end as the result of tragedies can get counseling and financial assistance.
Consider becoming a Red Cross volunteer — call (646) 875-8051 or visit www.redcross.org/volunteer. Or you can help your neighbors in other ways by donating blood. There is a critical shortage of blood, so now would be a great time to contact www.redcrossblood.org/donating-blood.
If the Red Cross of Long Island isn't where you want to devote your time and energies, some of the other organizations mentioned above could use your help, either as volunteers or through your generosity. To volunteer at Island Harvest, visit http://bit.ly/1i9jNEB. Stop in at your local firehouse to find out if the department is seeking new volunteers. Membership in a community organization brings with it many opportunities to serve your neighbors.
KeywordsEditorial, volunteers, firefighters, Kiwanians, Hibernians, Rotarians, Lions, Knights, Hurricane Sandy, Red Cross Month, Red Cross of Long Island, Island Harvest, Community Development Corporation of Long Island, Health & Welfare Council of Long Island, United Way, Freeport Pride, Friedberg JCC, FEGS Health & Human Services, Disability Opportunity Fund.

Lauri Weeks named executive director at YMCA Sussex branchTerry Rasberry, former executive director, resigns after 35 years of service
Lauri Weeks has been named the new executive director of the Sussex Family YMCA, announced CEO Deborah Bagatta-Bowles of the YMCA of Delaware.
"Lauri has worked at the Sussex Y for the last four years and has proven herself to be a dedicated, enthusiastic, commited individual who breathes life into the YMCA's mission daily. We feel strongly about giving Y staff the ability and opportunity for growth and promotion within the organization, and Lauri's earned this. She's worked side by side with Terry Rasberry, who will be missed. We plan on a very smooth transition," said Bagatta-Bowles.
Weeks was born and grew up in Rehoboth Beach. As a teenager, she developed an interest in swimming and the work of Rehoboth Beach lifeguards. As a mom, Weeks brought her own children to the Sussex Family YMCA to learn to swim, and through the years, her two sons and her daughter joined the Y's swim teams and never left.
Weeks graduated from the University of Maryland with a BS in architecture and a master's degree from the University of Delaware in communication.
After working for many years, Weeks became a full-time mom. Ever active in the community, Weeks worked for the YWCA for a year before being hired by Rasberry, who recently retired. Weeks said, " It's a joy to step up and lead this branch. Terry Rasberry did great work, and I've learned a lot from him. We have work to do, but with new staff in place, we are anxious to grow, meet the needs of our community, and go above and beyond for our members."
The YMCA of Delaware is Delaware's largest nonprofit organization committed to strengthening the citizens of Delaware through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. To learn more, go to www.ymcade.org.
