From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
The Newspaper the Whole Family Must Enjoy!
July 16th, 2009 • Issue 56 • This is a Pathetic Joke
User Return Causes Widespread Panic
This week noted user An Ape that Only Exists on Thursdays returned to the wiki, and immediately rendered that return "triumphant". However, other users are beginning to feel the effects of the presence of this primate whose quantum mechanical properties dictate that he be only during certain periods of the week. This incident left onlookers shocked, and worrying if something similar could happen to them. Not since the return of a scantily-clad Olipro has this website seen such a display of sheer terror mixed with complete confusion (and in the case of Olipro, a bit of curious arousal mixed in).
The aforementioned incident involved one user who had AATOEOT embedded in his dreams. Most curiously, this episode seems to have happened on a Friday night, a time period when an An Ape that Only Exists on Thursdays should decidedly not exist. Nearly a week has passed without further disruptions, although that may be partially due to Ape's ban after being kicked off of the Uncyclopedia island during a rousing game of Uncyclopedia Survivor. Regardless of the reasons behind the strange occurrences, users should be sure to keep an eye out for strange occurrences on and off the wiki...particularly on Thursdays.
Flood of Crap Nearly Overflows VFD
For the last few days, an explosion of nominations has inundated Uncyclopedia's waste removal system, Votes for Deletion. After a period of low activity, where there would typically be just a few to several nominations, things picked up last week. In the last few days, the situation has accelerated into what is being called by experts a "shit-ton" of undesirable content festering in the dark, unvisited corners of the wiki. Said undesirable content is currently being read, discussed, and dealt with accordingly, as is the usual procedure at the highly efficient VFD.
Circumstances have escalated to the point of rattling a few relaxed admins. One such incident involved a user getting the customary one-day ban for increasing the active nomination count past twenty, when the user in question had, in fact, only increased the number of active noms to twenty. Owing to the normal tendency of the article count of VFD to stay in the low single digits lately, the lapse is certainly forgiveable, and was quickly corrected. Afterwards the two parties exchanged pleasantries and shared a S'Mores which was roasted over the open bonfire of newly deleted articles.
Former poopsmith MrN9000 commented on the situation, saying, "Well you know I fancy the standards at VFD have improved significantly in recent times. Not so long ago it would often just be a quick "Short and Shit" vote from UU, and the latest stub was on for a huffing. These days we are spending more time voting on closer votes and are deleting much better articles than we used to! Something VFD is really proud of." In a final display of VFD patriotism, MrN added, "CHECK THE PAGE HISTORY BEFORE NOMINATING YOU BUGGERS!"
Orian57 On Fire
Noted rainbow-colored user Orian57 has recently enjoyed a remarkable string of success (pictured on right). He has scored an unprecedented natural hat trick of features, with UnBooks:Daddy, There's a Zombie in the Garden, LazyTown, and UnScripts:Trapped at Sea reaching the front page on consecutive days. Not since the time of such legends as Savethemooses and The Thinker have such lofty VFH records been broken. Although in the case of STM, there were probably mitigating factors involved, like wooden articles rather than aluminum, or something. Or aluminium, that strange substance only found in England by mining thousands of millions of other strange occurences, such as referring to the trunk of a car as a "boot".
This god-like spasm of awesomeness is fresh on the heels of Orian's Writer of the Month win in June of this year. Since the beginning of that month, he has seen six of his works grace the front page, and he shows no signs of slowing down. When reached for comment, he explained, "Well I suppose it's down to being fantastic. And unemployed. But mostly being fantastic." The UnSignpost would like to congratulate Orian on his recent spat of win, and express hopes he will continue the pattern well into the future.

text: San Francisco - Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said on Tuesday the social network giant is focused on mobile devices and should be seen as a smart bet despite a "disappointing" stock market debut."It is really clear from the stats and my own personal intuition that a lot of energy in the ecosystem is going to mobile, not desktop (computers)," Zuckerberg said during an on-stage interview at a TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco."That is the future," he continued. "We are going to be doing killer stuff there."Zuckerberg was adamant that the company was being underestimated and was on track to make "more money on mobile than we make on desktop."His appearance at the conference marked his first public interview since the massive public offering on May 18 that was hotly anticipated - but ended up being a flop.Facebook shares have lost around half their value since the IPO at $38 a share."The performance of the stock has obviously been disappointing," Zuckerberg acknowledged.Facebook has made a priority of following its more than 900 million members onto smartphones and tablet computers, tailoring services and money-making ads for mobile devices.The shares gained 3.30% on Wall Street on Tuesday to close at $19.43. In after-hours trading following Zuckerberg's remarks, the stock gained 3.45% to $20.10.Zuckerberg rejected criticism that the company is ill-prepared for a shift to mobile devices, where Facebook has only begun to get ad revenues."Now, we are a mobile company," he said. The company would pursue its "mission" of making the world more social and connected, cranking profit for shareholders, he added."Building a mission and building a business go hand in hand," Zuckerberg said. "From the beginning we've had this understanding we've had to do both."Zuckerberg has stated repeatedly, even in pre-IPO paperwork with US regulators, that Facebook did not build great services to make money but rather made money to build great services.When pressed on the point, in the context of the California-based company losing more than $50bn in value based on the stock price drop, Zuckerberg was quick to add that making money was a component of its broader mission.Zuckerberg conceded that the stock price plummet has dimmed morale of workers compensated with shares but that Facebook staff are accustomed to criticism and "have a pretty good compass" pointing to better days.Stock compensation for Facebook employees is made based on cash value of shares, meaning that workers are awarded more shares at lower prices, according to the chief executive."I actually think it is a great time for people to join and a great time for people to stay and double-down," Zuckerberg said of the Facebook team. "We are seeing that."Zuckerberg rejected suggestions that Facebook would make its own smartphone, adamant that the company had no intention of stepping into the fiercely competitive handset hardware arena."Apple, Google, everyone builds phones - we are going in the opposite direction," Zuckerberg said."We want to build a system deeply integrated in every device people want to use."Zuckerberg's strategy to have Facebook on every smartphone instead of making a "Facebook phone" makes sense, according to technology analyst Jeff Kagan.Zuckerberg said Facebook did not plan to take on Google in the online search market but that the social network already handles one billion queries daily from people looking up friends, apps, brand pages and more."Facebook is uniquely positioned to answer a lot of questions people have," he said, giving examples such as finding restaurants friends have enjoyed or checking to see who has connections at particular companies for jobs."At some point we will do it," he continued. "We have a team working on search."Zuckerberg, who holds a controlling interest in Facebook, said that the company has repeatedly seen public opinion swing from unreasonably bright to overly dark."I would rather be in the cycle where people underestimate us," Zuckerberg said. "It gives us good latitude to go out and make big bets. I think a bunch of people are underestimating us."Kagan said Zuckerberg's comments rekindled Facebook pre-IPO excitement but did not make up for the fact that the company's stock has been a loser and it remained unclear how profitable it would become."Bottom line, Zuckerberg sounded good," Kagan said. "However this does not solve the investment problem the company still faces every day."*Follow Fin24 on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and Pinterest.

Central rally salvages baseball split
TUCSON, ARIZ.—The Central College baseball team scored six runs in the fifth inning of a come-from-behind 8-5 win in Game 2 to salvage a split with Marian (Wis.) in Wednesday's Tucson Invitational Games doubleheader.
The Sabres (5-4) topped the Dutch (7-3) 14-7 in Game 1 and jumped out to a 5-0 lead through four innings of Game 2, but Central scored eight unanswered in the fifth and sixth innings for the victory.
"It was a really good win in Game 2," coach Adam Stevens said. "I was most impressed with how we came back. We had a tough go of it in Game 1 and got down early in Game 2 and it would've been easy to say, "It's just not our day." But we kept competing despite the score, battled and came back to beat a quality team."
Trailing by a handful after four innings, the first five Dutch batters reached base in the fifth, beginning with junior outfielder Zach Zylstra's (Pella, Pella Christian HS) leadoff triple. Sophomore outfielder Dakotah Wolken (Dillon, East Marshall HS) drove him in with an infield single before advancing to third on a single by junior second baseman Kirby Coppess (Urbandale), who promptly stole second. The two scored moments later on a single by senior shortstop Jordan Judkins (Marshalltown). Following a catcher's interference that allowed senior catcher Jace Ahrendsen (Clarence, North Cedar HS) to reach base, senior outfielder Andrew O'Toole (Des Moines, Lincoln HS) roped a triple to left field to score the two. He would score the sixth and final run on a single by senior first baseman Grant Seuferer (Milo, Southeast Warren HS).
"We had good at-bats all day," said Stevens. "Marian had good pitching in Game 1 and its starter in Game 2 was on early. But I was confident we would get something going.
"Andrew has hit the ball really well, even though he doesn't have as much to show for it. He's hit the ball hard, but right at people. It finally went his way today."
Senior designated hitter Robbie Rushing (West Des Moines, Valley HS), O'Toole, Zylstra and Coppess recorded two hits apiece. O'Toole finished with three runs batted in, while Coppess scored twice.
Stevens credited freshman pitcher Blake Judkins (Marshalltown), brother of Jordan, for keeping it close in his first collegiate start. Blake allowed five runs on nine hits and four walks with four strikeouts over 5.0 innings for the win.
"It was great to have Blake out there," Stevens said. "It was important to get him a start before conference play and he responded by keeping Marian from having big innings. That was the difference in the game."
Senior pitcher Judson McKown (Independence, Minn., Orono HS) did what he does best, getting out of a sixth-inning jam and shutting the door in the seventh for the save. He did not allow a single batter he faced to reach base.
"Judson came in and did what he's done a lot of times in his career," said Stevens. "He entered in a tough situation, but rose to the occasion. He's vital to our team's success."
Marian starter Bryce Taylor was tagged with the loss after allowing six runs on eight hits with one strikeout in 4.2 innings pitched. Three Sabres finished with two hits apiece.
In Game 1, the Sabres' economical offense resulted in 14 runs on only 13 hits, including an eight-run sixth inning to put the game out of reach. The Dutch finished with more hits (15), but only rounded the bases seven times.
Jordan Judkins and Rushing each finished 3-for-4 at the dish, with Judkins tallying a pair of RBIs and runs scored. Freshman first baseman Zach Brown (Cedar Rapids, Xavier HS) and Coppess had two hits apiece.
Senior southpaw Ryan Dusil (Cedar Rapids, Kennedy HS) was tagged with the loss after giving up six runs on six hits and four walks while striking out five in 5.0 innings.
Marian catcher Ryan Blise led the Sabres with a bases-clearing, 3-RBI double in the sixth and finished with two hits and four RBIs. Starting pitcher Sam Forkert allowed five runs on 12 hits and two walks with six strikeouts in 6.0 innings.
The Dutch close out their spring break trip with a 10 a.m. (Pacific Time) contest against Hamline (Minn.) (2-0). Thursday's game serves as the Tucson Invitational Games opener for the Pipers. It's Central's fifth game against a Minnesota school in the past seven days.

Beyonce Wears Lingerie & Talks Life After Blue Ivy: "I Understand The Power Of My Body"
Beyonce may be obsessed with the number 4. But the international pop diva has been three times the lady for Vogue in 2013.
After gracing the cover of Vogue's "Power Issue" in February and showing off her taunt tummy for British Vogue in April, the only chick on Jay-Z's arm somehow finds a way to step it up a notch on the May 2013 cover of Vogue India. Shot by photographer Patrick Demarchilier, the 31-year-old is stunning in a plunging black corset top by Marni and Haider Ackermann.
After a stellar performance at the Super Bowl, a sexy campaign as the new face of H&M's summer swimsuit collection, and an international "Mrs. Carter" tour that's currently still in progress, Beyonce is sitting on top of the world. but the Grammy Award-winning artist confesses that only one recent accomplishment has completely changed her outlook on life.
"Right now, after giving birth, I really understand the power of my body," she say. "I just feel my body means something completely different. I feel a lot more confident about it. Even being heavier, thinner, whatever. I feel a lot more like a woman. More feminine, more sensual. And no shame."
Since welcoming daughter Blue Ivy into the world with husband Jay-Z last January, Beyonce confesses she feels a love she never knew possible. "I felt very maternal around eight months," she remembers. "And I thought I couldn't become any more until I saw the baby…But it happened during my labor because I had a very strong connection with my child. I felt like when I was having contractions, I envisioned my child pushing through a very heavy door. And I imagined this tiny infant doing all the work, so I couldn't think about my own pain…We were talking. I know it sounds crazy, but I felt a communication. She's my road dog. She's my homey, my best friend."

text: Self-management By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Lifestyle and home remediesDementia symptoms and behavior problems will progress over time. Caregivers might try the following suggestions: Enhance communication. When talking with your loved one, maintain eye contact. Speak slowly in simple sentences, and don't rush the response. Present one idea or instruction at a time. Use gestures and cues, such as pointing to objects. Encourage exercise. Exercise benefits everyone, including people with dementia. The main benefits of exercise include improved strength and cardiovascular health. There is growing evidence that exercise also protects the brain from dementia, especially when combined with a healthy diet and treatment for risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Some research also shows physical activity might slow the progression of impaired thinking in people with Alzheimer's disease. And it can lessen symptoms of depression. Encourage activity. Plan activities the person with dementia enjoys and can do. Dancing, painting, gardening, cooking, singing and others can be fun, can help you connect with your loved one, and can help your loved one focus on what he or she can still do. Establish a nighttime ritual. Behavior is often worse at night. Try to establish going-to-bed rituals that are calming and away from the noise of television, meal cleanup and active family members. Leave nightlights on in the bedroom, hall and bathroom to prevent disorientation. Limiting caffeine, discouraging napping and offering opportunities for exercise during the day might ease nighttime restlessness. Encourage keeping a calendar. A calendar might help your loved one remember upcoming events, daily activities and medication schedules. Consider sharing a calendar with your loved one. Plan for the future. Develop a plan with your loved one while he or she is able to participate that identifies goals for future care. Support groups, legal advisers, family members and others might be able to help. You'll need to consider financial and legal issues, safety and daily living concerns, and long-term care options. Coping and supportReceiving a diagnosis of dementia can be devastating. Many details need to be considered to ensure that you and those around you are as prepared as possible for dealing with a condition that's unpredictable and progressive. Care and support for the person with the disease Here are some suggestions you can try to help yourself cope with the disease: Learn as much as you can about memory loss, dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Write about your feelings in a journal. Join a local support group. Get individual or family counseling. Talk to a member of your spiritual community or another person who can help you with your spiritual needs. Stay active and involved, volunteer, exercise, and participate in activities for people with memory loss. Spend time with friends and family. Participate in an online community of people who are having similar experiences. Find new ways to express yourself, such as through painting, singing or writing. Delegate help with decision-making to someone you trust. Helping someone with dementia You can help a person cope with the disease by listening, reassuring the person that he or she still can enjoy life, being supportive and positive, and doing your best to help the person retain dignity and self-respect. Caregiver support Providing care for someone with dementia is physically and emotionally demanding. Feelings of anger and guilt, frustration and discouragement, worry, grief, and social isolation are common. If you're a caregiver for someone with dementia: Learn as much about the disease as you can and participate in caregiver education programs Find out about supportive services in your community, such as respite care or adult care, which can give you a break from caregiving at scheduled times during the week Ask friends or other family members for help Take care of your physical, emotional and spiritual health Ask questions of doctors, social workers and others involved in the care of your loved one Join a support group PreventionThere's no sure way to prevent dementia, but there are steps you can take that might help. More research is needed, but it might be beneficial to do the following: Keep your mind active. Mentally stimulating activities, such as reading, solving puzzles and playing word games, and memory training might delay the onset of dementia and decrease its effects. Be physically and socially active. Physical activity and social interaction might delay the onset of dementia and reduce its symptoms. Move more and aim for 150 minutes of exercise a week. Quit smoking. Some studies have shown smoking in middle age and beyond may increase your risk of dementia and blood vessel (vascular) conditions. Quitting smoking might reduce your risk and will improve your health. Get enough vitamin D. Research suggests that people with low levels of vitamin D in their blood are more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. You can get vitamin D through certain foods, supplements and sun exposure. More study is needed before an increase in vitamin D intake is recommended for preventing dementia, but it's a good idea to make sure you get adequate vitamin D. Lower your blood pressure. High blood pressure might lead to a higher risk of some types of dementia. More research is needed to determine whether treating high blood pressure may reduce the risk of dementia. Maintain a healthy diet. Eating a healthy diet is important for many reasons, but a diet such as the Mediterranean diet — rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and omega-3 fatty acids, commonly found in certain fish and nuts — might promote health and lower your risk of developing dementia.

A FARMER has applied to erect a wind turbine at his farm on the outskirts of Bacup.
Colin Moss, of Dickenson Barn Farm, in Old Meadows Road, wants to install a single 21-metre turbine.
A planning statement to Rossendale Council said: "The scale and location of the wind turbine would be such that the impact on nearby residential properties would be low, with any impact confined to a visual appreciation of its siting.
"This on its own would not constitute a material harm to living conditions, and it is thus considered that the amenity of neighbouring properties would be maintained."
The statement added that the proposal, if approved, would involve some ground excavations when the foundations are laid and the turbine installed.

"I'm sorry, Mom."
"For what?"
"What I did."
"What did you do?"
"You know."
"Yeah, but you need to say it."
My well-behaved, highly responsible, perfectionist firstborn is a great kid. She makes good choices, is obedient, a brilliant student, and genuinely concerned with doing the right thing. Like the stereotypical firstborn, she thinks rules are important and likes to follow them. And she's extremely hard on herself when she fails. Since she was a toddler, it's been easy for her to apologize and painfully difficult for her to say what she did wrong, to name her sin and shortcomings.
Parenting this girl for over ten years has taught me a lot about myself and my relationship with God. Recently, I learned something about confession: The people most in need of confession are often the most well-behaved.
Many of us, without thinking about it, probably believe that the people who most need confession are the ones who have done the worst things, like murderers. These are people we place in a different category from the rest of us. While we occasionally "mess up," the ones who need to confess are burdened with the guilt of really bad deeds—of honest-to-goodness sin that God probably has to exert himself to forgive.
This kind of thinking reveals the true nature of confession and why we all need it. Confession's primary purpose is not to set us straight, give other people satisfaction in our shame, or make it easier for God to forgive us. It's to show us our sin. To show us who we are, in comparison not to others, but to our perfect, holy God. And to help us understand the undeserved grace he extends every single time. We who most need to see our own sin are the ones most tempted to think we're not that bad.
Facing Myself
This is why God, in his wisdom, gave us the law—the requirements and prohibitions we slam into when we try to go our own way. Paul tells us, "God's law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned more and more, God's wonderful grace became more abundant. So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God's wonderful grace rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 5:20-21). The law exists to show us our sin so we can understand and accept God's grace—and be changed by it. Without a shameful and repentant acknowledgment of who we are, grace is just a nice name for a pretty girl.

DJ Swamp makes special guest appearance at 2012 Canadian DMC DJ Championships [News]
Hamilton, ON – Legendary Cali based DJ Swamp will be performing a special guest showcase at the 2012 Canadian DMC DJ Championships in Hamilton. Swamp, originally from Cleveland, was himself a DMC Champion by winning the 1996 U.S. DMC Championships. He then toured with Grammy-nominated artist Beck for several years before focusing on his solo opportunities. Swamp has also given back to the culture of DJing by creating tools for other DJs to use like 'skip proof' records.
Watch DJ Swamp live in Hamilton, Ontario, tomorrow inside The Casbah Lounge (306 King St. W) as part of the 2012 Canadian DMC DJ Championships. Click here for more details about that event, including the official flyer. More info about Swamp after the jump link below.
About DJ Swamp
From DJSwamp.com without edits
DJ Swamp is an American hip hop DJ/turntablist and hip-hop producer. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. In 1996, he took the title of US DMC Champion, his first year entering the tournament. Swamp toured with Beck for four years and later broke away into a solo career with "Never is Now" in 2001. He is known for his roguish antics which differentiate his DJ sets from others' by incorporating record smashing, body mutilation and fire breathing.
DJ Swamp has produced several DJ tools that are considered standards including his infamous "skip-proof" records which have the same sample repeated over and over so that if the needle is bumped it will land in the same sample.
In 1996, as a first time entry, he won the US DMC Championships. He showed up dressed in all black with a beanie cap and long hair. His set ended with Swamp using a technique called a needle drop to play Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water", followed by him smashing his records.
Career with Beck
After winning the 1996 US DMC Championships, Swamp found himself still driving a street sweeper for a living in Ohio. He was making calls looking for gigs and a chance to break into the music scene full time when he heard Beck was going to be in town. He formulated a plan to pose as a reporter and slip in a demo of him mixing and scratching Beck's tracks. He waited for Beck all day but never got to meet him. He did however give his demo tape to Beck's publicist. A few weeks later Beck called Swamp and he joined the tour as Beck's DJ. The two toured together for four years.
In the fall of 2000 Swamp began work on his first solo album Never is Now. After the Midnite Vultures tour, Swamp decided that he wanted to explore his own creative ambition. In 2001 he released his first album, Never is Now, which was supported by the successful single "Worship the Robots." The song featured Simple Text voice Fred as the rapper. The text application vocals were chopped up and manipulated to make it more like rap than just spoken test. Also on the album was "Disintegrator" which was featured in the Orgazmo Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.
Swamp has built a loyal following around the world appearing in festivals, rock shows, hip-hop shows and even raves. His stage performance consists of him DJing, rapping, lighting things on fire, breaking records, and fire-breathing. Crowds that are often overwhelmed by his stage presence and raw sound usually warm up to him because of his crowd interaction and give-a-ways.
Swamp formed Decadent Records in 1998, which allowed him to distribute his scratch tools. His "skip-proof" records are a staple in many turntablist sets.
DJ Swamp has appeared on songs by The Crystal Method, Katy Perry, Supreme Beings of Leisure, Ben Folds, Belinda, Beck, Oblivion Dust, Kid Rock, Hanson, The Bloodhound Gang, Morcheeba, The Dandy Warhols, R.L. Burnside, Faithless, OPM, DEVO, Save Ferris, Say Anything, Dust Brothers, Kool Keith, Sticky Fingaz, Better than Ezra and Vanilla Ice.
Swamp's television appearances: ABC In Concert, The Grammy Awards, American Music Awards, Jools Holland, Jay Leno, David Letterman, Conan O'Brien, Much Music, Farmclub.com, MTV Awards, TFI Friday, ESPN's Summer X Games 2000, ESPN /ABC Winter X Games 2001, and Top of the Pops.
He has been featured in Rolling Stone, Spin, Subculture, Ray Gun, Mean[disambiguation needed ], DJ Times, Keyboard, Mixer, The LA Times, and URB.

How College Grads Should Manage Their Money
By all accounts, college graduates are leaving school and entering the real world lacking a sufficient amount knowledge in how to handle their finances. The good news? You haven't screwed up yet. And if you follow a few broad, yet basic guidelines, things might just stay that way.
After a recent report from Finra's Investor Education Foundation revealed a few worrying statistics about personal finances in the U.S. (19% of Americans spend more than they earn), Fox Business reporter Emily Driscoll consulted experts to inquire, generally, about one thing: What can young people do to better manage their money?
"When you take into consideration the financial turmoil many have faced in recent years and the future of Social Security, it is wise for younger generations to start saving early and thinking about their finances," finance expert Kimberly Foss told Fox.
"You will quickly learn where you spend the most money and what you value financially–are you a person who makes impulse buys or do you research your purchases?" said Chanel Green, the manger of financial aid at Peirce College. "This type of trending becomes valuable when the student is trying to determine if they need to keep spending in check, how well they manage their money and if there are areas where they can improve their budgeting skills."
"Deposit whatever you can initially, and then aim to contribute 15% of your take-home pay to the fund monthly," said Foss.
Of course, if you don't feel motivated enough to use these simple methods — which could, lest we forget, save you much trouble in the future — you could just ask your indebted elders about the type of things they did to land themselves in financial misery.
"They might be able to tell you these are the mistakes we made because we did not start soon enough, so you may be able to learn the great things they've done and the things they wish they would have done," said Dave Richmond, founder of the wealth management firm Richmond Brothers. "You can either step in the potholes that everybody steps in or you can learn to avoid them–it's much easier and less painful to learn how to avoid them."

Blue Satin Tropical Hibiscus Tree
- Description

- Reviews
Large, Rare Blue Hibiscus Flowers
• Large, beautiful blue flowers with a purple/red "throat" and a white center
• Looks great potted up near entryways, on your patio, or planted near corners of your home
• Attracts butterflies, hummingbirds and bees to your garden!
A Rare Color in Landscaping
Every landscape plan welcomes the color blue, but blue rarely occurs in nature. The Blue Satin Tropical Hibiscus brings limitless new color combinations to the landscape palette. Not only is this wonderful shrub gorgeous, it is simple to grow and maintain.
Looks Great Anywhere
The Blue Satin Tropical Hibiscus Tree is easy to grow in all soils, including clay. Though it prefers moderate moisture, it is drought tolerant. If you don't appreciate deer nibbling away at your garden, the Blue Satin Tropical Hibiscus is deer resistant.
Tough Trees that can Take a Beating
These trees can tolerate wide temperature swings. We have seen it beautifully over-winter in Zone 5 climates where the temperatures can drop to -10 F or lower. For all its beauty, the Blue Satin Tropical Hibiscus Tree does not really suffer from the usual problems with insects or other diseases.
A Few Maintenance Tips
The Blue Satin Tropical Hibiscus is a sun lover. It will tolerate part shade but its blooms really express themselves in the sunshine. It blooms on country estates or on city streets. If you really love an explosion of huge flowers, here's a trick: in late winter to early spring, if you prune the tree to give it shape, when the spring growth comes the new shoots will be rich with buds. If you limit each new shoot to just a few buds (by cutting or pinching off the others), larger blooms will result. It makes for a true conversation piece.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The University of North Florida Student Health Services has reported two cases of chickenpox on campus this week.
Officials said one student lives on campus in Building 55, Osprey Fountains, and the other student lives off campus.
Chickenpox is a very contagious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus. According to health officials, the virus spreads easily from people with chickenpox to others who have never had the disease or received the chickenpox vaccine.
The virus spreads in the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Officials said it can also be spread by touching or breathing in the virus particles that come from chickenpox blisters.
A person with chickenpox can spread the disease from one to two days before they get the rash until all their chickenpox blisters have formed scabs. Authorities said it takes from 10 to 21 days after exposure to a person with chickenpox or shingles for someone to develop chickenpox.
If a person vaccinated for chickenpox gets the disease, they can still spread it to others. Health officials said for most people getting chickenpox once provides immunity for life. However, for a few people, they can get chickenpox more than once, although this is not common.
The best way to prevent chickenpox is to get the chickenpox vaccine. Children, adolescents and adults should have two doses of chickenpox vaccine. Health officials said the chickenpox vaccine is very safe and effective at preventing the disease.
Most people who get the vaccine won't get chickenpox. Officials said if a vaccinated person does get chickenpox, it's usually mild -- with fewer blisters and mild or no fever. The chickenpox vaccine prevents almost all cases of severe disease.
For people exposed to chickenpox, campus health officials said to call a health care provider if the person:
- has never had chickenpox disease and is not vaccinated with the chickenpox vaccine.
- has a weakened immune system caused by disease or medication; for example,
People with HIV/AIDS or cancer
Patients who have had transplants, and
People on chemotherapy, immunosuppressive medications, or long-term use of steroids.
- is pregnant.
If you suspect you have the chicken pox, the campus says to call Student Health Services at 904-620-2900. Students with chickenpox need to be isolated and seen by a health care professional, authorities said.

Haptica braille watch
The Haptica watch, by recent industrial design graduate David Chavez, is a concept piece designed to bring precision and discretion to the visually impaired when reading the time.
The case which houses the watch movement connects to a series of Braille 'dials' that synchronize to display the time read out.
Unlike other digital watches available on the market for the same purpose, 'Haptica's' simple and ergonomic design is the first solution that doesn't employ audio as the way of relaying information.

The first thing an eco-novice needs to learn before buying a present for an environmentally conscious friend is that when manufacturers claim their products are made from recycled PET, they don't mean mashed-up dogs and cats but pre-loved polyethylene terephthalate. If that still sounds ominous, there is a whole range of more familiar materials that can be recycled to make new and wonderful gifts.
Try a toy truck made from recycled drink cans, or a travel bag made from recycled cement bags. The bottles used in Skin Juice body products are made from recycled plastic and the cardboard is compostable, while the products themselves are made with natural materials.
Second-hand clothes and jewellery also count as recycled materials, to wit, a vintage dress made from recycled crochet squares. There's a hybrid bike designed to awaken the gluteal and quadricep muscles.
Alas, some profess an environmental conscience to mask a stingy soul and will give you a recycled Christmas card with the message from last year blacked out. For them, a line of recycled pencils is available from as little as 79¢. Or splash out on a pack of 10 thick coloured pencils made from sustainable timber for $22. For everyone else, there is Tandara, a spacious self-contained canvas tent retreat at Lane Cove, 10 kilometres from Sydney's city centre.

Just wanted to do a bit of open speculation about the FFXIV party system. From the alpha leak videos it is apparent that the difficulty of the quests is based on the number of members in your party. The difficulty level ranges from 1 star at a solo level and 5 stars at a 5 man party. So if quest difficulty is based on the number of members in your party, I wonder if mob difficulty in general could be based on the same thing? This would certainly make the game more solo or duo friendly for those who don't have time to sit around and find the perfect party.
Personally, I think such a system would be a welcome addition to FFXIV. My days of being able to sit around and wait hours for a party have unfortunately passed me by. If there is such a system in FFXIV, then I still think that there should be some additional benefit (experiential or otherwise) for leveling in a max size party. This would still encourage the type of cooperative play that made FFXI so enjoyable, but it would not alienate more casual players. What do you all think?

The presence and impact of female Antarctic researchers has increased rapidly. In the 1950s most countries did not allow women to work in Antarctica and there were few female Antarctic scientists. Today females are playing leading and influential roles in Antarctic research. For example the Alfred Wegener Institute and the British Antarctic Survey are both led by women and women have led several high impact papers on Antarctic science over the last ten years [eg 1‐4]. With 55% of APECS (Association of Polar Early Career Scientists) members being female, it is time to promote and celebrate the achievements of female Antarctic scientists within the SCAR community in order to increase the visibility of these leading and influential role models for our younger female researchers and to stimulate girls around the world to pursue science careers.

a wind sensitive pavilion
a winning entry of the centennial festival of riverboats pavilion design competition
"DRIFT proposes a triangular arrangement of eight foot diameter balloons that create a dynamic canopy over bourbon tastings, educational spaces for children and other groups. Jurors praised the project for its unexpected playfulness and relationship to historic river imagery. The design was interpreted by the panel of jurors as a type of inverted raft with romantic allusions to the journeys of Huckleberry Finn as well as the flatboats that once populated Louisville's wharf in great numbers. — Kentucky Museum of Art & Craft blog"
On October 15, 2014, Louisville will host the Centennial Festival of Riverboats to celebrate the 100th birthday of the Belle of Louisville. During the summer of 2013, the Waterfront Development Corporation announced an international design competition for a series of temporary pavilions to be used during the celebration. Designs were required to accommodate a variety of uses and relate conceptually to the event while adhering to a stipulated material budget and public safety requirements.
Interest in the project was far-reaching, attracting a variety of established firms and creative practices from thirteen countries including twenty United States.
The winning entry, DRIFT, was submitted by Brooklyn-based design practice stpmj. Design team members Seung Teak Lee and Mi Jung Lim are both natives of Seoul, Korea. stpmj has an impressive track record with inventive design projects as evidenced by works such as Invisible Barn, a reflective structure proposed for the Socrates Sculpture Park in Queens, New York.
DRIFT proposes a triangular arrangement of eight foot diameter balloons that create a dynamic canopy over bourbon tasting and educational spaces for children and other groups. Jurors praised the project for its unexpected playfulness and relationship to historic river imagery. The relationship to Louisville's river history was singled out by jury member Rick Bell, a prominent Louisville historian, as a vital characteristic of a centennial celebration and one that required a unique expression. DRIFT was interpreted by the panel of jurors as a type of inverted raft with romantic allusions to the journeys of Huckleberry Finn as well as the flatboats that once populated Louisville's wharf in great numbers.
The stpmj design team will receive a $2000 prize for their winning proposal which will be fabricated locally for the Centennial Festival. The second place award of $1000 went to Aaron Loomans of Milwaukee, WI for his entry entitled Paddle Flux. Mr. Looman's submission also placed second in the People's Choice voting. First place in the People's Choice voting went to a project entitled Centennial Paddlevillion, a collaboration between New York City based Metamechanics and Christian Duvernois Landscape/Gallery.
The Centennial Festival of Riverboats Pavilions Design Competition was initiated by Louisville-based design practice PART Studio LLC. Special thanks are given to Louisville's own sonaBLAST! Records for sponsoring the competition and to the Kentucky Museum of Art & Craft for hosting the public exhibition of the work.
Project Description
"Drift" is an interactive design proposal that responds to currents of air and offers diverse medium of entertainment for the visitors. The balloons create an overarching canopy, casting shadow and diffused light below. As the balloons sway either gently or brusquely depending on the wind, the shadows change according to the movement of the balloons. Visitors are encouraged to play with the continuously changing shape of the balloon canopy by pulling and pushing elastic cords connected to the balloons. "Drift" becomes a resilient and playful datum on the riverside.
The proposal is composed of two main components; the canopy of floating balloons and three levels of the wooden platform(base). The 8' diameter latex balloon is a commercially available product, which is light to transport and easy to blow. The balloon can sustain its volume outdoors and in harsh weather conditions. 250 cubic feet of helium gas makes the balloon float with enough force to lift 15 lb for 10-15 days. The balloons can easily be replenished with helium and regain its volume and strength. The canopy of 10 balloons is anchored to the wood base with elastic bungee cords that is light but contains tensile strength. These elastic cords allow the canopy to both float and drift by wind and visitors.
The wood-base is triangular shaped furniture with three different levels (3'-6", 2'-6" and 1'-2"). Each level connotes various functions; bar & vendor booth, drinking & eating table, and benches. The entire base could be used as a seating area when performances are held in the center of the triangle. The 3'-6" high wood box is water proofed to prevent electrocution from machineries of the vendors and musicians. The wooden base is made from 2x4 lumbers and plywood sheathings.
"Drift" is an open structure that does not obstruct the skyline and riverboats around the river. It provides a multi-purpose space that can support the festival of food, bourbon, music and art to celebrate 100th anniversary of the Belle of Louisville. "Drift" provides visitors with amusements that the Belle of Louisville has offered for the past century.

On Sunday, May 13, nurses from each of Zanmi Lasante's 12 clinics and hospitals gathered to celebrate International Nurses Day.
The cadre of health workers held a one day conference at Mirebalais National Teaching Hospital, a new facility built by Zanmi Lasante – Partners In Health's sister organization in Haiti – and the Haitian Ministry of Health. Though the hospital is still under construction and won't be complete until the end of the summer, the location was chosen because it embodies PIH/ZL's emphasis on quality health care.
Nursing care will be critical to the success of the new hospital and, in turn, the hospital will be part of the Ministry of Health's strategy to strengthening nursing education and nursing country throughout the island nation.
The day began with a Mass lead by representatives from Cange – home to PIH/ZL's medical and education complex – and ZL's long-standing Nurse Educator Miss Amazan. Following Mass, everyone convened in one of the large conference rooms where various talks took place: Madam Lucile Charles Presidente spoke on behalf of the National Nurses Association of Haiti, motivating young nurses to understand the importance and value of their profession. Minister August reflected on her work providing care in inner-city Carrefour Feille. Madam Myrtha Marescot spoke of her experience as a mental health nurse. Madam Leonida Emmeline from the University of Notre Dame nursing program spoke of importance of nurse training and research around nursing care.
Lastly, Head Nurse Beatrice Romela gave a moving speech about the central role nurses play in health care delivery. We found Ms. Romela's words so moving that we would like to share with all of our supporters.
Today, I cannot hide the emotion and honor I feel at speaking on behalf of Zanmi Lasante's Nursing Department as we commemorate International Nurses Day.
This day is dedicated to all nurses, but let me remind you that it was not chosen by chance, since it is the birthday of Florence Nightingale, an extraordinary nurse who greatly impacted the world around her by brining compassionate care to the poorest and most isolated of those suffering from disease and hunger.
Today, as during Nightingale's time, nurses must not only listen to our patients and care for their needs, but we must learn and integrate sophisticated technologies and rapid advances in the science behind what we know. Our workplace is in constant motion, it is constantly evolving, and these improvements help our patients.
Nurses are important in their role and responsibilities. We are constantly pushing ourselves to improve and become more competent. Traditional models of working and learning seem less and less able to meet the current exigencies in terms of performance of health systems.
Too often, employers feel that nursing graduates are not trained to meet the demands of our work. They say we lack the skills needed to function properly in health institutions.
This finding is not surprising because nursing education too often lacks proper funding, guidance, and supervision. The situation in rural and remote settings is even worse.
In addition, the shortage of resources is keenly felt as nurses and auxiliary nurses are often the only providers of care. Unfortunately, we are often the most neglected, left to fend for ourselves, all of which leaves us unable to properly manage our patients.
Today, we call on the nation's nursing schools and hospitals to strengthen in-service training for all nursing personnel, to strengthen the supervision of care in remote areas, to train educators for teachers, instructors, and hospital management.
We must loudly advocate for nurses, and shape a future that befits our society. We must create a future that provides quality services for all communities.
We can pave the way for the nurses that will come after us.
Today, like yesterday, the nursing profession requires qualities of selflessness and infatigable compassion.
We must believe that great nurses are the result of good schools, training, and practice. We must commit to move in all environments, with all patients regardless of their race or social level.
I am strongly encouraged by all my sisters who have chosen to invest in this profession, to help the profession move forward.

Thrifted Chair DIY
Before and After: A Thrifted Chair Transformation
Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member theroomstylist from the Su Casa group:
For only $11, I picked up this chair at a local Goodwill store. I thought the chair had a great shape, it just need a little makeover. After figuring out that I could unscrew and reupholster the seat with some sample fabric, quilt batting and a staple gun, I knew this would be the perfect chair for an empty corner in my living room.
Keep reading to see the after photo of this chair!

Question for the Money Doctors
Question submitted on Mar 6, 2014.
QuestionI need to sell all my stocks/mutual funds to build a barn for unwanted horses on land I bought after my folks died. It's a lot, for me, and I'll face significant capital gains. Unfortunately, it's all due within the year. Any way to stagger cap gains, or ways to minimize the hit? If you need more info, please ask. Thanks for any ideas and your kind service!
Good job planning ahead for your tax liabilities, but not knowing all of your personal financial affairs, it is impractical to give you specific advice. Rather, let me pass along some planning thoughts and questions that I would consider, if I were you. You said that you need to sell all of your stock/mutual funds to build a barn. Can you afford to build the barn? How will building the barn impact your financial resources and retirement plans? Are there other like-minded people in your community who could help fund the barn? Have you looked into borrowing against the equity in your land to help finance the barn, versus selling all of your investments? Have you looked into taking a margin loan against a portion of your investments to help finance the barn? Would your caring/shelter activities for unwanted horses rise to the level of an entity that you could create that would qualify for tax exempt (non profit) status, i.e., charitable, educational, prevent cruelty to animals, etc.? If so, you could inquire about setting up a nonprofit organization and raise charitable funds from others who would be able to deduct their contributions to the new tax exempt organization to finance the barn. Did you inherit the stocks/mutual funds from your folks? If so, did you step up the cost basis for the inherited stocks/mutual funds to the value at the date of their deaths (which would impact your taxable capital gain)? As you can see, there are more questions than answers. You would be well served by contacting a CPA/PFS in your area to help walk you through your available options (visit www.findacpapfs.org). I hope that this helps and good luck with your plans.

Tolstoy's essay "On Patriotism" is as true of modern America as it was of eastern Europe at the beginning of the century. Like religion, patriotism is a tool used by those in power to control the masses. As we move toward theocracy and the Patriot Act continues to strip away various freedoms, the flag-waving will intensify. The modern GOP has learned how to manipulate the public all too well.
Now go enjoy that BBQ, and try not to blow your hand off with those fireworks.

London - If you're an avid tweeter who values their relationship, we have one important piece of advice... step away from the phone now!
New research from University of Missouri, USA, found that Twitter causes relationship conflict, which in turn is linked to emotional and physical infidelity, breakups and divorce.
The study's author, Russell Clayton, surveyed 581 Twitter users of all ages and asked how much conflict arose as a result of the social networking site.
He found that the more active people were on Twitter, the more likely it was to cause arguments between them and spiral into serious relationship issues - including divorce.
So why is it that Twitter can wreak havoc with your love life? "Even if you are sat in silence with your partner, reaching for your phone breaks any connection, makes the other feel that they are boring you," says sex and relationship therapist Sarah Berry.
And then there's all that flirting: "Online flirting with others may seem innocent but it can still hurt. It can lead to your partner not trusting you.
"Even if your flirting is only online and you have not been unfaithful in the flesh, it can still feel like a public slap in the face for your partner."
In previous research, Clayton found Facebook had a similar effect.
But whereas Facebook-related conflict was greater among couples in newer relationships (of 36 months or less), in this latest Twitter research, Clayton found the same worrying outcomes occurred regardless of how long people had been together.
"I found it interesting that active Twitter users experienced Twitter-related conflict and negative relationship outcomes regardless of length of romantic relationship," Clayton said.
"Couples who reported being in relatively new relationships experienced the same amount of conflict as those in longer relationships."
His advice for Twitter lovers? To limit use of social networking sites to more healthy, reasonable levels.
"Although a number of variables can contribute to relationship infidelity and separation, social networking site usage, such as Twitter and Facebook use, can be damaging to relationships," Clayton said.
"Therefore, users should cut back to moderate, healthy levels of Twitter use if they are experiencing Twitter or Facebook-related conflict."
"Some couples share joint social networking site accounts to reduce relationship conflict, and there are some social networking site apps, such as the 2Life app, that facilitates interpersonal communication between partners."
The 2Life app is a private, secure network that lets you chat, share, collaborate and coordinate with your partner. It features a "date night" feature powered by Yelp's local listings so that couples can browse reviews before deciding where they want to have dinner. They can also chat in the built-in messaging space and there's a private shared journal.
In his previous study, Clayton, surveyed Facebook users aged between 18 and 82, asking them how much they used the social network and how often they had bust-ups with their partners - past or present - that had been ignited by the site.
Dr Clayton said: "Previous research has shown that the more a person in a romantic relationship uses Facebook, the more likely they are to monitor their partner's Facebook activity more stringently, which can lead to feelings of jealousy.
"Facebook-induced jealousy may lead to arguments concerning past partners.
"Also, our study found that excessive Facebook users are more likely to connect or reconnect with other Facebook users, including previous partners, which may lead to emotional and physical cheating."
According to the study, published in the Journal of Cyberpsychology, Behaviour and Social Networking,couples who are just starting out should consider staying away from the site.
Dr Clayton explained: "The findings held only for couples who had been in relationships of three years or less. This suggests that Facebook may be a threat to relationships that are not fully matured.
"On the other hand, participants who have been in relationships for longer than three years may not use Facebook as often, or may have more matured relationships, and therefore Facebook use may not be a threat or concern.
"Although Facebook is a great way to learn about someone, excessive Facebook use may be damaging to newer romantic relationships.
"Cutting back to moderate, healthy levels of Facebook usage could help reduce conflict, particularly for newer couples who are still learning about each other." - Daily Mail

CNET News.com/Reuters: Corel workers jump ship ahead of layoffs, cost-cuttingMay 27, 2000, 02:22 (0 Talkback[s])
"Employee morale is slumping, and several senior executives are jumping ship as struggling Canadian software developer Corel readies a dramatic cost-cutting plan that could include hundreds of layoffs."
"Ottawa-based Corel, which late yesterday announced a much-needed financing deal worth C$15 million to C$30 million ($10 to $20 million U.S.), is now expected to slash expenses in the wake of its failed merger with Inprise/Borland."
"Analysts are now waiting for details on how Corel will cut costs by $40 million annually--savings widely expected from dramatic layoffs among the company's 1,391 full-time staff. Including part-time and student staff, the company has a total of about 1,500 employees."
"The company would not comment on a media report that 400 jobs could be cut, but that figure may be conservative, said Jean W. Orr, an analyst at Bluestone Capital Partners, who follows Corel. The company may need to trim about 500 jobs, which at an average salary of $60,000, translates to $30 million annually. Corel could also cut about $10 million from advertising to meet its $40 million target, Orr said."

"We've been managing on a tight budget for a couple of years now"
Part-time teacher Lyn, 34, and her husband Richard, 35, live in Hull with their children Thomas, three, and Joseph, 14 months.
"We've been managing on a tight budget for a couple of years now, having had to shoulder a couple of maternity leaves and a redundancy," she says.
The family have cut back on both expensive days out and petrol so now they look for things to do locally that are free or don't cost much money.
"We're really lucky because in Hull all the museums are free which is fantastic and there are some really good ones," says Lyn. "We spend a lot of time in places like the Maritime museum. We've also got some really good parks locally which is great when the weather's dry.
"In the school holidays we'll go further afield because I'm not spending money on petrol to get to work."
The family shop at Asda Mount Pleasant twice a month and have bulkier items delivered every fortnight. Lyn usually looks for offers and own-brand products.
"I always buy 3 for £10 meats (usually two lots) then separate them out into freezer bags for portion control. For convenience and good value on Sundays we love the 2 for £7 Roast Chicken Breasts with chipolata sausages & stuffing balls!
"For a during-the-week treat the boys' favourite feast is Asda's Southern Fried Chicken (much cheaper than KFC, and just as tasty).
"We stock up on cereals (Asda cornflakes and Malted Wheaties, Ready Brek and Weetabix) and always buy three pots of Asda sandwich fillers for grown-ups' packed lunches. Great Stuff Tinned Hot Dog Sausages with hidden vegetables need to be bought by the dozen (or actually by the 15 because they're on offer!).
"We know how to live within our budget by shopping carefully, driving thoughtfully and planning presents carefully. At present, we're trying to save a little money each month so that when BIG things come up unexpectedly (e.g. broken washing machine or car) we have enough put by to manage."
