Hi Jane!
I'm a U3 Political Science at McGill and I've just rediscovered tennis!
I'm an advanced beginner (not yet intermediate level). if you want to play, just email!
Hi Jane,
I've had an injury during the summer but recovered enough to be able to hit with someone. I can't play at 4.0 or anything YET but if you like, I can give you enough of a challenge to make it worth your while for playing with me. What do you say? I'm free in the evenings during the times u mentioned and weekends also. Let me know! :)

WASHINGTON – Senators from both parties are expressing enthusiasm for pushing a comprehensive overhaul of the nation's immigration system.
But while immigration politics appears to have changed in the wake of sweeping Republican rejection by Latino voters last year, the math in the Senate may remain a challenge.
Fifty-four current senators were in office in 2007, the last time the chamber came close to advancing major immigration legislation.
Of those, opponents of the 2007 reforms outnumber supporters 31 to 23.
On the Republican side, just two senators who supported the 2007 legislation remain in office – Arizona Sen. John McCain and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham.
By contrast, 22 Republicans who opposed that legislation remain in office, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
Among the other Republican lawmakers who opposed the 2007 plan are: Lamar Alexander (Tenn.), Michael Barrasso (Wyo.), Richard Burr (N.C.), Saxby Chambliss (Ga.), Tom Coburn (Okla.), Thad Cochran (Miss.), Susan Collins (Maine), Bob Corker (Tenn.), John Cornyn (Texas), Mike Crapo (Idaho), Mike Enzi (Wyo.), Charles Grassley (Iowa), Orrin Hatch (Utah), Jim Inhofe (Okla.), Johnny Isakson (Ga.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Pat Roberts (Kan.), Jeff Sessions (Ala.), Richard Shelby (Ala.), John Thune (S.D.) and David Vitter (La.)

G6010, Revised August 2014
Fruit plantings can be a source of beauty as well as fresh produce. However, for the inexperienced grower, they also can be a source of frustration and expense. Nursery catalogs are full of brightly colored advertisements depicting bountiful harvests of unblemished fruit. Harvests like these are possible, but only with careful selection of the fruit cultivar (cultivated variety) and diligent pest management. Weather conditions in Missouri , such as high humidity, abundant rainfall and warm temperatures, increase disease and insect populations. With few exceptions, home fruit plantings require treatment with pesticides to control a variety of serious diseases and insect pests. Pesticides needed and frequency of application depend on the cultivars planted, location of the planting, weather conditions and cultural practices.
Table 1 is subdivided into pome fruits, stone fruits and small fruits. Within each section are listed the major developmental stages of the plants and the associated pests (insects and diseases) frequently occurring during each plant stage. These developmental plant stages are also referred to as "spray periods" when an application of a given pesticide is recommended in order to control a specific pest(s). Effective control of fruit insects and diseases depends on the proper timing of pesticide applications, and these spray periods indicate to the homeowner when certain sprays may be applied.
Not all insects or diseases listed in each plant's developmental stage, or spray period, will be present in your fruit plantings. We have listed the most commonly encountered fruit insects and diseases in Missouri. For many pests, we have also provided brief descriptions of the damage they cause. The presence of the key symbol in the table indicates the most important sprays that should be applied against key pests or pest complexes.
We have tried to list only the pesticides readily available to the homeowner at most nursery and garden, hardware, and home improvement centers (Table 2). The pesticides are not listed in any particular order of effectiveness, although some products may be more effective against some types of pests than another product. In many cases, one or two pesticides listed in a given spray period will be effective against all the pests listed for that time of the season.
Several commercial fungicide-insecticide combinations are available for the homeowner. These may be more desirable for fruit growers not wanting to make their own combinations of pesticides that are recommended in this publication. Commercial home fruit spray mixtures are convenient to use but may not control all of the insects and diseases found on all fruit crops because each product usually contains only one type of insecticide and fungicide.
Choose a cultivar with care. Consider adaptability to Missouri soils, climate and intended use. Remember, the cultivar planted may often determine the amounts of pesticides needed to produce a crop. For example, Jonathan apples are an eating favorite but must be sprayed to prevent mildew, scab, fire blight and rust diseases. On the other hand, several recently developed disease-resistant varieties have a flavor similar to Jonathan and have the advantage of requiring fewer fungicide sprays. Differences in cultivar susceptibility to diseases exist within each fruit crop. All cultivars must be treated for certain insect pests.
The following MU Extension publications, available online and from your local University of Missouri Extension center, can help you select the best fruit crop varieties for your situation: G6021, Home Fruit Production: Apples; G6026, Disease-Resistant Apple Cultivars; and G6085, Home Fruit Production: Grape Varieties and Culture.
In most situations, apply a fine spray to all parts of the plant until some of the spray liquid runs off. For most brambles, grapes, strawberries and small fruit trees, the conventional pump garden sprayer is adequate. For larger plantings, you may prefer a motorized sprayer.
Whatever type of sprayer you decide to use, rinse it thoroughly and allow it to dry after each use
Many pesticides are corrosive. During a single season, corrosive action can ruin many types of equipment. In addition, pesticide residues remaining in the tank after one spraying may break down or interact with the materials used in the next spraying in ways that can damage plants.
Too often, home fruit growers think that if a small amount will control the pest for one week, then twice that amount will give twice as much control. This is a dangerous assumption and can put both the applicator and the plants in unnecessarily dangerous situations. Recommended rates are based on the amounts needed for control (Table 3). Applications that exceed recommended rates contribute needlessly to environmental contamination without increasing control. Repeated applications at 7-, 10- or 14-day intervals (cover sprays) generally are required to protect growth developed since the last spray, or to replace spray residues that are no longer effective because of weathering and chemical breakdown.
Pesticides are poisonous to people and animals. Handle with care. Read the label. The label is the most important piece of information you will find on both the proper use and the hazards of the material. Follow these precautions with all pesticides used:
See MU Extension publication G1917, Personal Protective Equipment for Working With Pesticides, for more information.
This publication contains pesticide recommendations subject to change at any time. Before purchasing any materials, make sure they are still approved for recommended use.
All Missouri Poison Centers are coordinated through SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center in St. Louis. This facility has a 24-hour Poison Help Line staffed by professionals. The expert taking your call will refer you to the closest poison center for treatment.
In case of accidental poisoning involving a pesticide, follow the first-aid directions printed on the label of the container and consult your physician immediately. Additional information concerning treatment and course of action can be obtained from your nearest poison center.
We appreciate the assistance of John Hartman, extension plant pathologist, University of Kentucky, who provided the plant disease recommendations.

text: Finally!!!! This gonna be a long post and my english isnt so good, so i hope you guys can understand me... I need say too i`m totally noob on linux world, so if you see something wrong / dangerous on my post, please correct me... I did this on an new single fresh server runing Debian 6 x64. Yeah, finally i finish my long journey testing many stuff as enduser!! (more then 20 days working on those tests, researching on google about right packages, security, etc...) Why? Because i wanna start sell host services for some friends, and if my pc handle, for more people too Then i was thinking with myself: If i try sell host services i will need provide some kind of support, and since i`m noob, this could be an problem... This would make me spend many days searching the solutions and sometimes without can test in the real server (there real clients). So before start sell something i tried test as enduser, i have installed all php stuff from those lists: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_content_management_systems http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_e-mail_clients http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo_gallery_comparison http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_collaborative_software http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_project_management_software http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wiki_software http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Open_Source_eCommerce_Software http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_issue_tracking_systems http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_help_desk_issue_tracking_software http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_forum_software_(PHP) But, only for see the web behavior, i need learn how e-mails work for get the right paramenters on my tests (dindt setup any program to send / receive e-mail), but one thing per time... So while i was installing the stuff, i see lot of warnings about extensions not avaliable, about configs on php variables, permissions, etc... I changed some of those settings after research on google, my researchs probaly arent good since i`m noob on linux, so, be free to point any error on the stuff i did. There some situations where one software requires one thing enable, and other requires samething disable, on this scenario i keep disabled if my researchs point to me it would be hacked if i turn on, in other side, if is safe keep on or off, i wrote how many softwares requires the stuff on and off, then i seted for more compatibility, i mean for get more softwares up. [Security] Moslty of the listed packages are default from debian repository, i think the reason for debian have so many software outdate is be sure the stuff is safe, so thinking this way, i dont see any problem on install all defaults packages i will list. Maybe except for the stuff requerid for Horde Groupware for example, or in other words, the stuff using pear / pecl comand, you guys will noticed many of those stuff arent stable, intead this are release candidate version or beta, if you use horde you have all this stuff already installed... [Server Performance] Install all the listed packages will let your clients use photologs for example, and this can use may resources from your server, so, if you dont wanna enable the options for all your users have everything already enable, ignore this post. By the way, if you think like me, enable all this stuff would save a lot of time from support requests to enable this stuff by all client requests, this post is for you (once more time, do an research for see if safe) I need ask for apoligies for dont list in an step-by-step with details (for what software the package is being installed, for what software the .ini are be made, etc...), but i wrote the stuff in an paper while i was testing ISPConfig using VMWare, doing snapshots and restoring in last 2 months, so i can write here some packages names wrong also, if u see something like this please, say the correct name. Before continue, i would love know if would be better install all this stuff before run ISPConfig install script, or after, or doesnt matter. The list: Jailkit error (i hate warns on log then i try set all) Remove some # from the example and set like this: PHPMyAdmin Warn Add in the end this: Now Suhosin Settings Uncomment lines and Set this values: Note: If i remember right, suhosin settings listed are for phpmyadmin and roundcube mail... The phpmyadmin manuals have lot of stuff explaining how to increase the server security, worth read and do the settings... Now the long list of install: Note: I dindt installed all in one time, installed one pack, setted stuff, then did lot of tests, installed other pack and repeat... I`m wroting all list in one comand for easy ctrl-c ctrl-v, but if you get any problem with conflicts, please let me know. Many packages from this step are dependencies for other step, or setup, if you skip something, gonna get errors... Answer NO to JACK02 Question. Those 2 are special: (For non-brazilian you can ignore the second aspell, in fact dunno why there an -br and pt-br) Exchange -br for your country, i have used aspell-br and fortunes-br because i`m Brazilian... Now the pear / pecl installs Note: If i remember right those are for groupoffice and horde. On those i just hit enter for default values Note: There an bug with lzf so we gonna fix it: Setting php.ini on /etc/php5/apache2 /etc/php5/cgi /etc/php5/cli Next two, you need set for you country, the example is for my country Brazil: This value is special, you ONLY can set it on /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini. Be sure /etc/php5/cli/php.ini have the value -1, or you gonna bug your pear / pecl commands... This big line you need enter in ISPConfig Control pannel Click System Click Server Configuration Click on your server Click on Web On Websites symlinks add this: Install Zend Framework and Ioncube also And dont forget set APC or all your runings domains will become VERY SLOW (default is 32M of cache shared for all domains) , check php site for the paramenters... This is all i can find on my notes. I hope this in somehow would help people save they time, i spend more then 20 days testing all stuff, researching dependencies, learning how to configure, etc... But i`m just beginner, now i gonna focus on other things to get my server up and working nice Once more time, i`m noob, probaly something here would compromisse your server, i`m testing this in an new fresh install, this cant work for your runing server... And I`m using Debian 6 x64 Some wierd behaviors: Typo3 you need edit the /tlib/config_default.php and set im_combine_filname => 'composite' phpbb is the only one which cant detect imagemagick on this setup (my guess is wrong name for composite like typo3 above, but i dindt found where to edit)... All others detected and worked fine... If you know why please tell us... Resource Space dindt work, i set 12 GB RAM for the VPS and Resource Space still not loading, in my oppinion the software is made for be so heavy for noone try host and pay for then... My next tests gonna be get the mail system working without any error / warn and try understand how webdav works Regards

Hopper the Leap Into Reading frog joined a group of about 12 children at the Clearwater Public Library for fun and stories on Saturday, Oct. 13.
Hopper will visit all 32 Great River Regional Library locations this year. Leap Into Reading is an initiative from Minnesota's Department of Education to encourage early literacy. Children danced the "Hokey Croaky" and enjoyed froggy stories about frogs on a log and a wide-mouthed frog before completing a "frog on a stick" craft. Branch Librarian Cyrene Bastien had created tabletop displays of library books about frogs, including A Frog In The Bog by Karma Wilson, The Frog Who Could Not Croak by LaVelle Carlson, Down By The Cool Of The Pool by Tony Miffon, and A Place For Frogs by Melissa Stewart.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 11, 2006) - In a game that featured eight ties and eight lead changes, Gardner-Webb's senior guard Tim Jennings scored a game-high 28 points and fellow senior guard T. J. McCullough netted five clutch points in the final minutes to give the Runnin' Bulldogs a 69-64 upset win over ETSU in front of 5,003 fans Saturday at Memorial Center.
The loss ruined Senior Day for the Buccaneers, who drop to 15-9 overall, 12-5 in Atlantic Sun Conference play, and fall from first to second place in the A-Sun standings. Meanwhile, Gardner-Webb improved to 13-10, 10-6 with their sixth win in seven games.
"Obviously, we're disappointed in the loss," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow, whose team had a four-game winning streak snapped. "We knew they were a hot team coming in here, winning five of their last six and beating
The Bucs certainly struggled shooting the basketball, hitting on just 23-of-57 shots for a clip of 36.5 percent from the field. Meanwhile, the Runnin' Bulldogs were hot from beyond the arc most of the game, finishing with 12 buckets from 3-point range and hitting on 41 percent from outside.
In the first half, Gardner-Webb led most of the way before the Bucs tied the game at 25 with left. The lead changed four times the rest of the half and ended with the Runnin' Bulldogs leading 32-30.
After the break, the Bucs trailed 37-34 before going on a 9-0 run to grab the largest advantage of the game for either team at six, 43-37. However, at that point, Gardner-Webb's Ricky McPhee was inserted into the game and hit back-to-back 3-pointers to tie it up. With the game tied at 66, McCullough hit a runner in the lane to make it 64-62 with just over two minutes left, and the Bucs then got back to within one at 64-63 on a free throw by senior forward Dillion Sneed (Chicago). However, McCullough answered again on a 3-pointer with 28 seconds remaining to ice the game.

Maxine's Vintage Sunshine
Name: Maxine (2)
Location: Grand Rapids, MI
Color Inspiration: This room was originally our guest room, and sometimes still is, so I wanted to make it bright and fun for my two year old, but not overwhelming to our guests. The floor was already blue, so I wanted something neutral but cheerful for the accent wall. I chose a pale, buttery yellow which adds warmth to the room, but doesn't compete with the floor.
Color Inspiration continued: Other than that, I can't say that I had a specific inspiration and the room was largely put together with items we already owned. The quilt at the foot of the bed was made by my mother-in-law when my husband was a baby (the doll pillow also came from his nursery), and I loved the way the bright greens and oranges looked with the blue floor. I already had the vintage fabric I used to make the curtains. The bedding is a combination of vintage and castoffs from our six year old's room. The artwork all came from thrift shops, with the exception of the princess and the pea one, which I made using Heather Ross fabrics.
Tip for Using Color: Use colors you love. I rarely plan things out, and instead tend to buy things I like, often without a clear purpose in mind. I find that things have a way of coming together over time, because chances are, stuff you like will go with other stuff you like. So I guess I would also have to say, trust your instincts.
Colors Used: The accent wall is Ellen Kennon's Classic Marc. The floor is Stone Blue and the headboards and bookshelves are Orangery, both by Farrow and Ball. The room also has hints of lime green, pink and yellow.
Thanks for your colorful entry Natasha and good luck!

Haunting in Connecticut, The (US - BD RA)
Gabe chokes on a little ectoplasm during his HD séance in Connecticut
Matt Campbell (Kyle Gallner) is receiving trial therapy for serious cancer in 1987. Beyond the physical problems brought about by the treatments, there is the problem of the three-hundred mile commute required to undergo the therapy. In order to save her son the commute Matt's mother (Virginia Madsen) rents a house in Connecticut. As per the norm for these stories, the rent is surprisingly low, and the family probably should've asked a few more questions. Soon Matt starts seeing terrible visions, which may or may not be a result of his treatment. When an embalming table is found in his bedroom the possibility of real haunting is increased. Things get worse from there.
For some reason 'based on a true story' often seems to be code for 'just like every other story', especially in the cases of ghost stories and sports movies. Ghost stories are all based on old motifs, and it's very likely that the people that experience 'hauntings' and the like are simply reacting to the unknown by sticking it in a 'traditional' frame of reference. Or ghosts are real and do these things—whichever. Anyway, it's generally pretty incredible how predictable true stories can be, and that makes for a dull night in the theatre.
Thematically speaking The Haunting in Connecticut gets points over most haunted house and 'based on a true story' movies through the realistic elements of its plot. It's interesting to juxtapose Matt's medical issues with the house's 'historical' haunting issues, though William Friedkin did do something similar when he made The Exorcist. It's not entirely original or overly clever, but it's a good hook, and enough of a hook to overlook some of the film's same old status. The drama gets a boost from the general calibre of the actors, but director Peter Cornwell and screenwriter Adam Simon still have some deadly issues with the more heavy 'oh no our son is dying' scenes. Overall I'm impressed with their tenacious tendency of throwing scares at the wall until one sticks, and the sheer amount of stuff going on keeps one's mind off the problems, but the good movie trapped in this mess simply can't make it out of the all too frequent dullness and predictability.
I give Cornwell some well deserved credit for taking some of his better visual cues from Lucio Fulci, Dario Argento and Mario Bava (my personal trifecta of radness). There's a dirtiness to some of the film's atmosphere and ickier effects (which even in the unrated version don't come anywhere near approaching Fulci nastiness) that is often missing in modern horror. The ectoplasm vomiting scene, which you probably saw in the adds, and the lead 'zombie' definitely recall City of the Living Dead. There are some obvious call-backs to Suspiria throughout as well (not the least of which is the word 'suspiria' scrolled in skin). Unfortunately I can't quite say the same for the bits Cornwell snags from more recent features. His digital effects and scare frame inserts reek of cheap music video tricks, and will date the film for future generations. Actually, I had problems with many of the film's editing choices, many of which actually burn out the scares. The flashback stuff is quite well done, but I can't say the same for the rest of the telegraphed jumps, and diffused slow burns.
Something relatively unnecessary to this review, which I just find interesting and impressive, is the film's treatment of period. I think Cornwell and his art and costume designers find a nice balance in letting us know it's 1987 without drawing a huge amount of attention to the fact. The clothing looks pretty modern, but isn't outside the realms of possibility for the time. Movie geeks should compare this treatment to the more obvious visual treatment of period in last year's Let the Right One In. Both ways work, but it's still interesting to compare.
Haunting in Connecticut isn't super stylized, but it's hyper-realistic, so all the important colours are a little saturated, and pop a little more than they likely would in reality. The pallet is cooled at night, and warmed in the day, but the contrast isn't super high, so the blacks are given a nice run of subtlety, while still deeply filling the prints full black requirements. The reality scenes are pretty even handed concerning details, which are fine, but not super fine, while the dream sequences and their sepia tones are actually quite sharp, without a lot of artefacting. There is some digital noise to be found throughout some of the darkened warm hues, but the gradations are even. The transfer is reasonably grainy, mostly for the sake of atmosphere and texture (I'm assuming).
I'm not quite overwhelmed by this DTS-HD track, but find much more to get excited about than I did on the recent and similar Blu-ray release of The Unborn. The soundscape is constantly teaming here with either mournful music or disembodied wind. The centred and consistent dialogue isn't a surprise, but is mixed well with these supernatural and stylistic aspects. Nothing unimportant ever overwhelms the stuff we need. The séance/ectoplasm vomiting scene is a spectacular sample of DTS-HD capabilities. It floods the channels with eerie voices, growls, oddball music cues, and some very strange synth sounds. A lot of the score is made up of the usual scary stabs and high note shrieks, but among the painfully average are a few effective melodic cues, which almost come across as heroic. The climatic mournful cue I could do without.
The rather meaty extras begin with duelling commentary tracks. The first track features director Peter Cornwall, producer Andy Trapani, writer Adam Simon and editor Tom Elkins. This commentary does its job in covering the background story and making-of aspects, along with marking the stuff that was either deleted or altered for the PG-13 rating. The tone is a little too serious and self important for my taste, and the filmmakers almost immediately claim they didn't consciously mimic other haunted house films, which we all know is a lie. Technically it's a good track, and the facts come with relative consistency, but there's a tendency to default to boring cast and crew congrats to fill the blank space (big ups for acknowledging that Elias Koteas played Casey Jones). Virginia Madsen is a card, and a constant source of entertainment on the other track, which includes her, director Cornwell, and actor Kyle Gallner. The deep behind the scenes information is slightly less constant, but that's what the other track is for. It's too bad they couldn't get some of this fun in the more informative former track.
'Two Dead Boys: The Making-Of The Haunting in Connecticut' (14:30, SD) is pretty press-kittish, and is full of that brand of cast and crew hype, but in the hype is a relatively interesting behind the scenes featurette. If you watched the commentaries you aren't likely to learn a lot of new facts (besides the interesting fact that the pre-production started with the Amityville Horror remake), but if you don't have time for two commentaries this is a pretty solid wrap-up. Pre-production, casting, filming, direction, set design, make-up effects, and supposed on-set hauntings are all quickly covered.
'The Fear is Real: Reinvestigating the Haunting'(41:00, HD) is a two part featurette concerning the actual events that inspired the film. Even when these kinds of things are poorly produced I'm always thankful at their inclusion on 'based on a true story' discs. Fortunately, this one is actually very even-handed, made up of tempered interviews with the real people. Only a few scenes from the film and some goofy music hurt the anti-sensationalized tone. I'm pretty shocked at how close the film's basics plot elements stuck to the real story, at least right up until the third act, which is total horse shit up and down (not to mention the house's back-story). More surprisingly, though, many of the family's odder 'ghostly' experiences were not used for the film. The cast of kooky characters that were involved in the real story are also more interesting and unusual than the cast of stereotypes that make up the fictional version. The original local news piece is a fantastic addition, as is the presence of differing opinions on the truth of the situation. Too bad they couldn't get their hands on the original Discovery Channel doc, but it could be worse.
'Anatomy of a Haunting' (12:00, HD) is another relatively tempered look at the facts of the supernatural, which is undercut a bit by the silly use of candle light. The expert interview subjects cover the ideas of haunting and ghosts from a pretty intellectual and scientific standpoint, to the degree that even a non-believer like me can appreciate what they have to say. My ears pricked up quite a bit when I realized one of the experts was actually talking about the events that inspired The Entity, one of my personal favourite haunting films.
'Momento Mori: The History of Postmortem Photography' (10:30, HD) continues the trend of surprisingly informative and not particularly sensationalized featurettes. I was personally obviously aware of the practice of postmortem photography, but was not aware at the history of the process, or how widespread it was. I suppose I'd never thought about how uncommon having photographs of loved ones was in the early days of photography. Still, pretty bizarre stuff.
Extras are completed with a selection of deleted scenes, the original theatrical trailer, and trailers for other Lionsgate releases. The deleted scenes (08:30, HD) feature an optional commentary from Cromwell, and have generally been deleted for pacing reasons. There's one huge would-be homage to Fulci's The Beyond in the scenes for Italian horror lovers like myself.
Overall A Haunting in Connecticut scores points for trying really hard, and I recommend a rental to folks that are fond of Amityville Horror style ride movies, but I personal didn't find the film particularly frightening or original. The healthcare aspects should've struck closer to home for me, but they really didn't. I'm appreciative for the angle, the true story aspects, and the genuinely high calibre acting, but it's still not enough to push the film beyond slightly better than average. The extras, on the other hand, are pretty great, including interesting featurettes on the real story, and some scientific and intellectual looks at the phenomenon of hauntings.

I know they are planning on making another "Haunting in...", this time in GA instead of CT. I hadn't head of a third one though.

Yeah I yeally didn't care for this, but the extras might convince me to give it a rent...My favorite "haunting" film is the telemovie, "The Haunted" aired on fox I believe in 1990 or '91. That movie along with "The Entity" seem most true to real-life haunting stories...

I'm kind of partial to Amityville Horror 2, myself.

Who: Nikita star Lyndsy Fonseca
Where: At the 2011 People's Choice Awards held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles
Wearing: A black Rachel Roy feathered trim silk gazar cocktail dress paired with black heels
Verdict: This year's People's Choice seemed to be either dressed themselves *not in a good way*, boring and predictable, or simple elegance. I think this gorgeous Rachel Roy goes under the final category. I love the structuring in the dresses skirt as well as the trim on the shoulders. Maybe could have done more with her hair and make-up, but overall I am loving this look.

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
If ever there were a year for Republicans to take back the Salt Lake County mayor's position after eight years of Democratic rule, it would seem to be this one.
But even with Mitt Romney atop the GOP ticket, questions remain about whether businessman Mark Crockett or West Valley City Mayor Mike Winder can muster enough support to defeat Democrat Ben McAdams' well-financed campaign to succeed retiring County Mayor Peter Corroon.
Winder, of course, has to overcome fallout from his use of the pen name Richard Burwash in writing pro-West Valley City articles for the Deseret News and other publications.
Crockett hasn't done anything to generate that kind of backlash. But the former county councilman lacks Winder's family-name recognition and grass-roots Republican support, and has a reputation in political circles as an intelligent-but-aloof conservative technocrat.
When the electability issue was put to the GOP candidates at debates earlier this month, Crockett said he didn't want to use the Burwash incident against Winder but added that it "clearly still matters to people, it keeps coming up."
And he predicted that if Winder prevails in Tuesday's primary, the McAdams campaign will raise the issue repeatedly until the November general election, using it to bash Winder's integrity and judgment. Winder countered that he has been forthright in admitting his mistake after learning the use of a pseudonym was unacceptable and has never tried to cover it up the main thing that has gotten politicians from Richard Nixon to Bill Clinton into trouble.
"Will I have a scarlet letter I'll have to wear for the rest of my life? You never know," he said. "But the people at the [Salt Lake County Republican] convention said they were proud of how I handled it. [On Election Day,] the residents of Salt Lake County will say, 'We forgive you.' "
Winder maintained he already is a man of the people, having secured 67 percent and 76 percent of the vote in his two races for office in West Valley City, "a typically blue-collar, often Democratic area."
"If I'm the nominee, it makes it hard for the Democrats to win without West Valley City, Magna and Kearns," he added, pointing out that Crockett represented an east-central valley district on the County Council for one term before losing in 2008 to Democrat Jani Iwamoto.
"My opponent couldn't win his own council seat. How does he win in the south and west parts of the valley," Winder said. "I have broad support more legislators, mayors and city council members than my two opponents combined."
Crockett bristled at the reference to his loss to Iwamoto, saying he fell victim to Barack Obama's surging popularity four years ago.
"Republican turnout was down 25 percent. Our turnout should be good this year, and if we stay on message and talk about ideas, [the results should be good] on electability," he said. "We have better ideas. We have a better vision. If we don't get off that message, we should win."
When it comes to ideas, Republicans have two distinctly different choices in Winder and Crockett, said an observer from across the political aisle, prominent Democrat Joe Hatch, who served with Crockett on the County Council and backs McAdams, a state senator from Salt Lake City.
"I enjoyed debating issues with Mark more than any ideological opponent I've had. He is an extremist on issues," Hatch said. "I don't think there is an ideologically moderate tone to who he is. But unlike a lot of people I see as extreme, he has an intelligence to go along with it."
Winder, by contrast, "is a much more mainstream Utah conservative, very well representative of west-side Republican values," the Democrat said. "He's not as ideologically pure as Mark."
To University of Utah associate professor of political science Thad Hall, Winder's appeal could be enhanced this year because moderates did better than extremists at the Republican caucuses and county conventions.
And voters tend to be more mainstream than the individuals active at those party events, he said, adding that "primary voters are more forgiving of personal foibles than they are of what could be viewed as policy extremism."
Although the progressive group Alliance for a Better Utah chastised Winder for "lying to his constituents and the people of Utah" with his Burwash articles, state Sen. Todd Weiler, R-Woods Cross, said he does not believe the controversy resonates with most people.
"The reason the story has legs is, no offense, it hit journalists in the sweet spot. … It was offensive to your journalistic standards that are foreign to, or not as important to, the general public," Weiler said, adding that The Tribune also played it up to jab the Deseret News' business model that uses "citizen journalists."
"But someone who's voting for Mitt Romney and inclined to vote Republican, are they so offended they won't vote for Mike Winder?" he asked rhetorically. "Clearly, for the people who don't like Mike Winder, this is an important issue. But to the people on the street, it won't drive voters to the Democrats."
Similarly, Weiler said, Crockett's loss to Iwamoto should not diminish his ability to beat Winder and McAdams.
"It's not like he got blown away or did something wrong in office," he said. "I think he's electable, but I don't think he's as media savvy."
One factor that should not figure into this election is religion. After all, like favorite son Romney, who is expected to draw overwhelming support from LDS voters, all three mayoral candidates are Mormons.
Mayoral primary
P Republicans will vote Tuesday for either West Valley City Mayor Mike Winder or businessman Mark Crockett to run against Democrat Ben McAdams for Salt Lake County mayor.

MONTGOMERY | Friends and neighbors of Gallant native Roy Moore watched his second swearing-in on Friday as chief justice of Alabama in a solemn and religious ceremony in the Heflin-Torbert Judicial Building.
MONTGOMERY | Friends and neighbors of Gallant native Roy Moore watched his second swearing-in on Friday as chief justice of Alabama in a solemn and religious ceremony in the Heflin-Torbert Judicial Building.
Moore and Supreme Court Justice-elect Tommy Bryan took their oaths of office during an investiture ceremony that was attended by Moore's West Point classmates, family and friends, and Bryan's family, friends, and associate justices on the Court of Civil Appeals.
Bryan is moving up from the Court of Civil Appeals.
Gov. Robert Bentley honored Bryan and Moore with commissions. They begin their six-year terms on Monday.
In the balcony of the Supreme Court courtroom were Johnny and Nancy King and Ken and Linda
Sadler, who have been Moore's neighbors in the Etowah County community of Gallant for more than 50 years.
They said Moore came from humble beginnings and took over as the man of the house after his father died. Moore was appointed to the U.S. Military Academy in 1965 by then-U.S. Rep. Jim Martin, R-Gadsden, who attended Friday's ceremony.
Mrs. Sadler said that Moore would walk five or six miles to go home after football practice and that he made A's in school.
"Roy took over the family," Ken Sadler said.
"He had a goal," Mrs. King said.
"I always thought a lot of Roy," Johnny King said.
In 2000, Moore was elected as the second Republican chief justice in Alabama history. But he defied a federal judge and lost his office in 2003 for failure to remove a granite Ten Commandments monument that he had placed in the rotunda of the state judicial building.
He ran for governor twice. He lost to Gov. Bob Riley in the 2006 primary and lost to Bentley in the 2010 GOP primary. In 2012, Moore won the Republican chief justice primary without a runoff against appointed Chief Justice Charles Malone and Mobile County Circuit Judge Charles Graddick, who is also a former state attorney general.
"If he hadn't beat me, I wouldn't be here today," Moore said about Bentley, in a lighter moment.
"It is indeed a great honor to once again become chief justice of Alabama," Moore said.
Bentley returned the light-hearted compliment by saying that if Moore had not lost the 2010 primary, he wouldn't be governor.
"His supporters supported me and that's the reason I am here today," Bentley said.
Moore and other speakers in the prayer-filled ceremony invoked the word of God, but Moore didn't mention the monument to the Ten Commandments, which he has previously said that he won't return to the judicial building.
Moore praised his wife, Kayla, for being strong.
The 1969 graduate of West Point and Vietnam military police unit commander earned a law degree from the University of Alabama in 1977.
Moore took the oath of office from West Point classmate John Bentley, a circuit judge.
Moore, 65, served as a deputy district attorney in Etowah County from 1977 to 1982 and in 1984 practiced law until 1992, when he was appointed a circuit judge.
He displayed a hand-carved plaque of the Ten Commandments in his courtroom and was sued in 1995 for opening court with prayer. He was elected chief justice in 2000 after gaining national prominence as the Ten Commandments judge.
Bryan, 56, was elected to the Court of Civil Appeals in 2004, was re-elected in 2010 and last year was elected to the Supreme Court to succeed retiring Justice Tom Woodall.

Although the development and analysis of strategic objectives and themes is important at the institutional level, it is critical to actualize the plan across units, connect it to institutional budgeting processes, and create an assessment feedback loop to ensure continuous improvement. Each institutional unit (i.e., division, college, and department) will define key activities/ strategies/initiatives and link these to institutional strategic objectives by establishing individual unit strategic plans (USP). The following links are intended to guide and provide assistance in terms of units developing their own strategic plan.

Get old like Goldie
As noted earlier, there was a random collection of celebrities invited to Gorbachev's 80th birthday celebration last night in London. Among them Goldie Hawn. Who looked like she was lettin'er rip last night. This broad knows, has always known, how to have a good time. Has never apologised for knowing how to have a good time. And certainly has never conformed to certain expectations of how women should or should not have a good time. Which may be why she and Kurt Russell never married. They adore each other, and their children, but those kinds of conventions never seemed to interest them.
Not sure what the deal is with her little Euro escort there but she was dragging him around all night while photographers snapped away so whatever it is, intimate or not, she doesn't seem to care if you talk about it. Which pretty much guarantees that no one will be talking about it.
I have always loved her. And I have always, proudly, loved Overboard. Some things aren't appreciated in their time. This movie clearly wasn't. Also, if only there could be a mother daughter prime ass-off. You know, Goldie was 42 when she shot this movie. It means Kate has more than 10 years of ass amazingness left in her. Lucky ass bitch.

At the Google I/O conference, Google just held its second keynote address, which focussed on Android. The talk was held by Vic Gundotra, and he unveiled a number of new features coming in Android 2.2 "Froyo", as well as some features coming in Froyo+1. The main theme of the entire keynote? Openness and choice, and a whole bucketload of not-so-subtle jabs at Apple. I'd like to apologise upfront for a possible lack of critical notes in this article - I'm still handing out the brownie points to Google for yesterday.

Liberal 33.8% (-2.5)
Conservative 31.3% (-0.9)
Green 7.0% (+2.2)
Undecided 15.7% (-6.5)
This is the first Nanos offering since the June "showdown", these numbers reaffirm what other pollsters have already shown. A 2.5% gap is still relatively good for the Liberals and lets not forget these numbers represent a 15% swing between the two principles since the last election. The NDP numbers are positive, mostly due to an apparent uptick in Ontario:
Libs 38.4%
Cons 35%
Greens 9.2%
Previous Nanos polling has shown the NDP doing quite poorly in Ontario. For example their last poll had them at 11.5%, before that 14%, before that 11%. Looking at the last two polls from EKOS and AR- particularly a much lower margin of error from EKOS- I would be hesitant to put much stock in this number. A one off? A few more results before I would readjust any reading that sees real trouble for the NDP in Ontario. That said, even this relatively high score is still lower than 2008 results.
As for the Liberals, we really are seeing a potential firming up of support, hovering near 40%- poll after poll shows this consistent result. I would catergorize this development as encouraging, because the volatility seems less pronounced, this is a terrific base to begin a campaign.
Nanos gives the Liberals a strong showing in Quebec:
Bloc 35.8%
Libs 34.1%
Cons 13.1%
Greens 2.4%
A little higher margin of error than other recent polling. The Green number appears low, NDP high.
Speaking of high, Nanos also puts the Liberal out front in British Columbia:
libs 34.1%
Cons 32.3%
Greens 11.1%
Nanos actually gave the Liberals a larger gap in their last poll(6%). Maybe a touch high for the Liberals here, but interestingly not that far off the recent EKOS offering that gave the Liberals 30%, only 4% back of the Cons, NDP same terrority.
These numbers translate to the slightest of possible minorities for the Liberals.
Nanos also polled people on issue importance. The economy as top issue is down 5.4%, further evidence that we are becoming more optimistic about the future, a sense that the worst is behind us taking hold. At first blush, I would assume this development would help Harper, because it's been a maelstorm of bad indicators prior to June. If there is a sense of rebound looming, the sitting PM should benefit. However, Nanos captures Harper's "best PM" score at its lowest in quite some time. To be fair, Ignatieff also posts a lower score:
Stephen Harper 29.5% (-2.7)
Michael Ignatieff 26.2% (-1.2)
Jack Layton 15.2% (+2.3)
Gilles Duceppe 5.8% (-0.2)
Elizabeth May 4.0% (-2.0)
None of them 7.4% (+0.6)
Unsure 11.9% (+3.2)
Ignatieff now leads Harper in Ontario, erasing a former large advantage for the PM. I would describe that as significant. Ignatieff still leads in Quebec, although down noticeably. I've said this a million times, but this question has a built-in advantage for Harper, because he is the PM, obvious logic assumed. With that in mind, this tiny gap, trailing in key regions, not a good result at all for Harper. Considering the Conservatives still have a Harper-centric focus, this might be a concern during a campaign.

Thanks for visiting panmankey.com! If you are visiting my site it means you probably either ran into me at a festival, or perhaps read one of my blog posts somewhere. I'm currently blogging at Patheos.com and at Ipinion.us. The Patheos stuff is generally for a Pagan audience, the Ipinion thing is kind of interesting because it's writing about Paganism for non-Pagans. (Don't worry I'm not going to call you a muggle or anything.) I also post more personal things at deeppaganthoughts.blogspot.com I can't promise that the thoughts are deep over there, but I had to call it something! However you got here, thanks for visiting!
I do have an e-book out if you really enjoy reading my ramblings. That book is called The Horned God and is available on Itunes and Barnes & Noble dot com. It should be on Amazon pretty soon too. My Horned God book is about, well, the Horned God; it's a history of horned deities, with extensive looks at gods like Pan, Dionysus, Shiva, Kokopelli, and Cernunnos. It's all written in my usual, breezy, sarcastic style too.
For those wondering, I still get around to various Pagan Festivals. This summer I'll be on the road for a little over a month. Check out the "On the Road" link for my summer schedule.
Break on through!

Summer Style in Swing: Baseball Decor
I don't know about you, but I love watching baseball games. What is less easy to love, though, is sporty decor, which becomes cheesy very quickly. Here are a few examples where America's pastime looks as good in your home as it can on the field.
Online gallery 20x200 has a few of my favorite sports-related prints, including Tatsuro Kiuchi's "In the Ballpark" (Image 1). Also, as someone who has been a Phillies fan since before birth (just ask my mom), I am partial to Derek Erdman's original portrait of Mike Schmidt (Image 2). While jerseys are good for hardcore fans, maybe the best, least cheesy way to incorporate the sport is with baseballs themselves. Check them out displayed in Images 8, 9 and 10.

MIAMI (AP) Trial has begun in South Florida for a second man accused of taking part in a botched 2007 burglary that ended with the fatal shooting of Washington Redskins star safety Sean Taylor.
Opening statements were set for Tuesday for 25-year-old Jason Mitchell, one of five men from the Fort Myers area charged with murder in the case. The alleged shooter, Eric Rivera Jr., was convicted last fall of second-degree murder and sentenced to 57 years behind bars.

DELAND, Fla. (Feb. 8, 2008) - The ETSU women's basketball team will put a handful of win streaks on the line Saturday afternoon when the Lady Bucs face Stetson at 3 p.m. inside the Edmunds Center.
ETSU, who is enjoying a season-long six straight winning streak, have also won a program-record seven consecutive conference games during this stretch as well (lone loss at Appalachian State). The Lady Bucs will also look to stay perfect on the road in A-Sun play (3-0) and move to 5-0 against the Hatters in league games only.
Fans unable to attend the game can watch via the live video streaming accessed at ASun.TV or by clicking the link located above.
Below is a breakdown of Saturday's match-up:
About Stetson
Stetson has lost nine of its last 11 and nine of its first 10 Atlantic Sun games. Three of the Hatters four victories have come inside the
The Hatters finished 5-25, 5-13 a year ago, and were picked to finish 11th in the league this season. Head coach Dee Romine enters her 15th season in DeLand, where her club is led by a pair of guards. Junior Sharnesha Smith and freshman Tierra Brown are the two leading scorers for Stetson. Smith leads the team in scoring (9.0), rebounding (4.9), steals (2.1), and assists (3.0), while Brown pitches in with 8.4 points per contest.
As a team, the Hatters only score 53 points per game, and allow 64.4 a contest (-11.4 scoring margin). The Hatters also struggle on the glass as they are being out-rebounded by almost five per game (41.5-36.7).
The Series
The teams have met five times, but ETSU have won all four of the meetings in Atlantic Sun play. Stetson's lone win came at the 1995 Krystal Holiday Classic, when the Hatters defeated the Lady Bucs, 74-71. ETSU knocked off Stetson, 78-69, in DeLand last season. The Lady Bucs were led by Siarre Evans' 21-point, 9-rebound effort, and Brooke Wilhoit's 12 assists. In
More About Monday's Win Over Mercer
The 88-57 victory over the Bears marked the Lady Bucs' second largest win of the season ... five ETSU players scored in double figures as Michele DeVault led the way with 15 points ...

ETSU's bench outscored Mercer, 45-26, as Brittany Daniels and Kelly Turman combined for 21 of those points ... Daniels netted a career-high 11 points in the win � all 13 Lady Buc players reached the scoring and rebounding column.
Balanced Scoring Attack
ETSU does an excellent job distributing the ball and finding the open player as six different Lady Buccaneer players have led the team in scoring this season; while four ETSU players are averaging over 10 points per game in A-Sun action. Sophomore Siarre Evans leads the team in the category (12.5ppg), but Michele DeVault, Jenny Norman and TaRonda Wiles also highlight the scoring attack. DeVault is adding 11.1 points, Norman 10.3, and Wiles is at 10.8. In addition, sophomore post Latisha Belcher is not far behind, averaging 9.8 points and a team-leading 7.8 boards in the nine conference games. Belcher also leads the club with 2.6 steals per contest. In total, 10 of the 13 Lady Buc players have clipped the double-digit scoring plateau at least once this season, and six have accomplished the feat on multiple occasions.
The Lady Bucs are in the midst of a season-long six-game winning streak, matching the longest run since last season. In addition, ETSU has won a program record seven straight conference games. The Lady Bucs are a perfect 3-0 on the road in A-Sun action, and have not lost a road conference match-up since falling to Jacksonville last Feb. 15.
Senior Jenny Norman will play in her 100th contest this afternoon. In addition, sophomore Devin Thompson looks to play in her 50th game as a Lady Buccaneer as well.
The Lady Bucs are currently 7-0 against teams from the Sunshine State inside Memorial Center in their last seven contests, and have won 12 of 15 against teams from Florida overall.

Cat Grooming for Your Kitty's Health
Although cats are able to groom themselves to some extent with their specialized tongues, many cats need some assistance to keep their fur coats in top shape. Long coated cats and older cats often have problems keeping up with all that hair!
With the exception of very few breeds, most cats have two kinds of hair. Primary, or guard hair, makes up the glossy, longer coat that covers the fabulous feline form. This outer coat is not only beautiful but it protects cats from the elements. Closer to the body lies the soft, downy undercoat. The undercoat helps cats to regulate their body temperature. Unlike humans, who have one hair coming from each follicle, most breeds of cats have multiple hairs, primary and secondary, coming from each follicle. All hair has a specific life cycle, and at some point of time, all hair dies and then falls away from the cat as the cat sheds.

Questions and Answers
How has the City of Markham responded to the emerald ash borer issue?
The City of Markham has taken action proactively, quickly and in a responsible manner in response to emerald ash borer.
How is Markham deciding which City ash trees will receive the injection treatment and which ones will be removed?
Are City ash trees less than 20 cm Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) going to be treated?
As a homeowner, can I 'adopt' the City ash tree(s) bordering my property, taking responsibility for treatment?
About 6,000 trees dead and declining ash trees are scheduled for removal before the end of 2014 by City-hired contractors; they are marked with an orange dot. As soon as this work is completed, the City will be removing as quickly as possible any additional trees that have died or substantially declined since the last assessment was done earlier this summer. As many stumps as possible will be removed this year, while the remainder will be removed in 2015. Tree removals and stump grinding are two separate operations that are done at different times.
Only grass in the immediate area of the stump will be impacted. The size of the disturbed area will be just large enough to facilitate the removal of some surface roots and humps in the grade, and grinding of the entire stump to a depth and width required to plant a new tree. Sidewalks and driveways will not be impacted.
The replacement trees are all measured near grade and are called calliper trees. The City will be sourcing mainly 50 and 60 millimetre caliper trees, which are generally about four to five metres tall. Studies have proven that when larger trees are planted, they require more time to get established, and after a period of time, the smaller trees will often outgrow the larger ones. Markham's goal is to have a robust and sustainable urban forest as quickly as possible. To do this, the City will be sourcing high quality trees and demanding high quality planting practices.
