The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations, the new needs friends….Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere.
Anton Ego—Ratatouille
I think it's fair to say that more often than not we, as human beings never give ourselves enough credit for our talents. Many times we sell ourselves short and as (what I would consider) a tragic result, we fall into mediocrity; worse yet, we do not care. We pat ourselves on the back, tell ourselves that "It's better this way", and move on to other things we may not have any talent for. Why? Job security and reality, are often the results that sum up our feelings in this regard. "It's not failure," we say to ourselves and one another, "If we never even try". We will often delude ourselves into thinking that we never had any special skill or talent to begin with, and that we are on "A Fool's Errand" if we even show any remote interest in pursuing our goals. It does not help us any when we, as spectators, cultivate this kind of thinking in our society and to our peers. We tell our friends that they would not be successful any how. Why? Because the odds are against you to begin with.
An even worse crime, is that we encourage those who have no talent in a particular field more than those who do! Why on earth would we do such a thing? The answer is fairly simple, but not easy to take. It usually falls into two types of situations: The first one being that we assume that because one enjoys doing a certain activity, that that individual is good at it. The second is similar to the first, but more on that later. The problem with encouraging an individual who doesn't have any talent for a particular skill but enjoys it anyway, causes that person to believe that they can do no wrong. They will write bland stories, sing out of tune, draw scribbles on lined paper and we as a society proceed to pat them on the head and give an "A" for "effort". Excuse me? "Effort"? Anyone can screech at the top of their lungs, but real effort comes from years of dedication to the craft. Effort is trying and failing until that failure is a success. Effort is when you take the time to point out your flaws and improve upon them. Before I leave this subject to move on to the second point, I have one final thing to say on this subject. If you happen to have a natural talent or affinity for a certain skill, don't assume that you can skate in to that particular field without any training or practice. If you recognize that you have an aptitude for something, pursue it and develop that skill and the stronger you will become, much like exercising a muscle.
The second reason why we favor the talentless over the talented is because one is talented. That may seem like an odd conclusion, however this is becoming more prevalent in our society. Our desire as a society that everyone be happy and successful, hampers our judgement to the point where we think that no one needs to have any talent or hard work to be successful. We can't allow ourselves to think that one might be better than we are; and so in the sake of "fairness" we proceed to tear these people down. We do this not through criticism however, but through propping up the talentless. Mozart was believed to have said of Beethoven that "The world will be forced to listen to him". Imagine if a statement like that were made today? The outcry would be huge! How could Mozart single out just one individual?! How dare he say that one musician would be more talented than any others! One thing that bothers me about the TV show "American Idol" is when host Ryan Seacrest, encourages the audience to "Vote for your favorite". The problem with that idea is that it kills objectivity. No one is ever encouraged to vote for the best singer. Now one could argue that "the best" may be subjective and not objective. Normally I would concede this point, however one is not selecting the best singer in the world; rather they are just picking the best out of twelve. When you narrow down the number, it makes finding exceptional individuals that much better. In the case of Mozart, he must have heard thousands of musicians and composers; the man would know talent when he heard it. Any kind of positive statement he would have made, in regards to certain individuals would not have been frivolous. We need to stop this practice for the sake of our own prosperity and even our own posterity.
We are doing ourselves a grave disservice by participating in the destruction of individual self-worth and self achievement. One hundred years ago men like Andrew Mellon, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and the Wright Brothers, were considered national heroes and great thinkers. The nation looked up to these men as symbols of pride and shining examples of the American dream. People didn't vilify these men, they idolized them! If there were any dissenting voices, they were considered envious and soundly ignored. Today most people would think of these men as greedy, corrupt business men who have no right in trying to protect their businesses and patents. This is dangerous thinking. We can't keep telling ourselves something is "unfair" because someone worked hard for their status, that is unfair. So to conclude this essay, I would just like to remind everyone, we're not always going to succeed. We won't all be multi-millionaires but we are talented in our own ways. This doesn't mean that we're the same, it means we our gloriously different. You may be better at management and leadership than myself or others. You could be better at teaching than performing. What ever your talent, be the best that you can be at it. Be an example in what you do, follow through on your goals and maybe, just maybe you will be that talent that came from anywhere.

With soccer playoffs come potential shootouts
Trying to win an 80-minute soccer game in this year's high school playoffs will be hard enough.
It gets even harder if the game's not decided, and goes into a 10-minute overtime period. Or a second one. If those don't settle it, that's where the real fun begins.
The game then goes to a shootout, a five-round dogfight where a team's top five shooters go against the opposing team's goalkeeper in a one-on-one scenario.
A shooter has five seconds to run 35 yards down the field and score. The team that has the most goals after the five rounds wins. In case there's a tie, each team sends another five shooters to duke it out. But if those five cannot get it done, it goes to sudden death.
Sounds simple? Think again.
"Well, when it comes to going into a shootout, I hope we never get there," said Lumberton girls soccer player Kaitlyn Stowe. "But if we do get into one, it doesn't matter where I go but I like going first. Then it just all depends on what I see from the goalie."
For competitive teams, shootouts happen at least once a season. So whether you're a shooter, a goalie or a coach, there's quite a bit of strategy.
Nederland girls soccer coach Julie Johnson said her teams have practiced taking shootouts over the years, which has led to her creating a system where she knows who her top five shooters will be.
Then, in case it does to go a second round, she knows who her next five will be.
Whoever Johnson or any coach calls upon. those players must be ready at a moment's notice.
Read more about what it takes to win a shootout in Friday's Enterprise.

WATCH: Islamic State release disturbing video showing a suicide bomber in New York City
ISLAMIC State has released a chilling new video showing a suicide bomber in New York City.
It comes days after the real attacks on Paris and a warning US capital Washington DC is the terror network's next target.
The slick film clip features shots of yellow taxis and crowds in Times Square in Manhattan with French music playing in the background.
It then cuts to a man wrapping a bomb around his waist before walking into the crowds and pulling the trigger.
Police said they were aware of the footage and there was a 'heightened state of vigilance'.
Deputy NYPD Commissioner Stephen Davis said: "While some of the video footage is not new the video reaffirms the message that New York City remains a top terrorist target."
"While some of the video footage is not new the video reaffirms the message that New York City remains a top terrorist target"Deputy NYPD Commissioner, Stephen Davis
The six minute video includes a scene appearing to show a suicide bomber making preparations and zipping up a leather jacket.
The clip shows a glimpse of Times Square and then of the bomber holding a trigger.
It also features footage of Paris and French President Francois Hollande.
New York mayor Bill de Blasio said his city 'will not be intimidated'.
State governor Andrew Cuomo added: "I encourage all New Yorkers to remain alert and report any suspicious activity while at the same time not letting this disrupt their daily lives.
"Remember that the terrorists' goal is to let fear win – New Yorkers never have and we never will."
Two days ago an armed jihadi threatened in another video Isis would target Washington next.
Islamic State has already claimed responsibility for the Friday the 13th Paris terror attacks which killed at least 129 people.
President Barack Obama is under growing pressure to adopt harsher measures to eliminate the terror network.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll taken after the Paris attacks found 60% of Americans want a tougher approach.
In the latest version of Isis magazine Dabiq captured Brit journalist John Cantlie warns the terror group plans to launch an attack on the west to rival 9/11 in a bid to spark a holy ground war in Syria.

Firefox on iPad redirects my server's URL to Cisco
Talk about Mozilla browsers for small devices such as PDAs and cellphones.
6 posts • Page 1 of 1
Bizarre problem I've had with a few browsers, and now happens with FF on an iPad: of the 1800 people in the the US who share my first+last name (according to the Census Bureau), one is the CEO of Cisco System. I've had the domain name john-chambers.us registered for years, and it works most of the time. But just now, when I wanted to test some web pages with FF on my handy iPad, entering that domain name doesn't get me to my own server; I get a page of "helpful" links into Cisco System. Nothing I try, not even a full URL with http:// and a path to a page, has any effect; I still get the list of Cisco links.
Is there a way to tell Firefox to stop doing this? Or am I forever locked out of my own server on the iPad? Digging around in Settings didn't give me any clues. I'd really like to see how FF renders some pages on the iPad.
FWIW, my server's log tells me that there was no incoming request of any sort when this happened, so it can't be something my server (apache) is telling FF.
I see the same list of Cisco links in Firefox and Internet Explorer on Windows. I think your domain might be set up improperly.
Hmmm ... I tried using both dig and nslookup on several machines where I have accounts, and they all gave me the correct IP address for my server (184.108.40.206). That would seem to imply that the DNS system is working correctly. Is there a way to ask FF what address it has for a domain name? Similarly, whois gives the correct info for the domain, as far as I can tell.
I also checked one of the other domain names that's served on the same machine/address, and as far as I can tell, the info for them in my /var/www directories for them seem to differ only in the domain names. But accesses to the other domain name don't get diverted to the table of Cisco servers.
More generally, is there any sort of "debug" info I might get from firefox that would tell me why it's giving me that info about Cisco Systems? Presumably there's some data hidden out in its tables explaining why it's doing what it's doing, but I have no idea what it might be called or how to ask for it.
Are you using your ISPs DNS servers or something else... like Open DNS?
Here's the result of an nslookup on my end:
That was a useful clue. I spent some time in a chat with a CS person at namecheap.com, the registrar I've used for several domain names. They had some very dubious entries for my domain. After a bit of discussion of how to make their UI do The Right Thing, in this case do nothing but provide a domain name -> IP address mapping, it seems to be working at the moment. I'll be doing some more testing of it for a while. Funny thing is I have a couple of other domains registered with them, and they don't have this problem. I suspect that it does have something to do with my name vs. the name of Cisco's CEO.
Part of the story is is that I've been helping a number of local non-profits build web sites, with an emphasis on teaching them to do it themselves. I've helped wean a bunch of them off the trash-html generated by most of the commercial web-support "services", mostly by teaching them that hand-typed HTML is actually quite easy for what they need. The biggest problem, illustrated by this case, is teaching them to deal with the DNS system. There's not a lot you can do to solve the problems with geeky, idiosyncratic terminology that every DNS company implements.
Anyway, thanks for the useful hint. The numbers were totally different than what I was getting, but fingering namecheap.com as the perp was a big help. I never saw their name in anything I tried.

Our Services and Offerings
At Arise Energy Solutions, we strive to identify and procure the best possible technology components to make up the renewable energy solutions we bring to our clients. This has resulted in our selecting a handful of strategic partners in terms of product, helping us deliver superior solutions in solar energy and wind energy systems.
In the area of photovoltaic solar energy modules, we partner with several leading photovoltaic solar energy module manufacturers, including Canadian Solar, Schott, Lumos, Schuco, and are currently putting in place a relationship with SunPower as well. We believe these vendors will provide us with the flexibility and availability we need to best serve our clients for the long term.
For inverters, we have partnered with Enphase to leverage their leadership position in micro-inverters for solar energy systems. For solutions that are most appropriate for leveraging traditional string inverters, we've partnered with SMA and Fronius, both leaders in that segment. We have access to other components, as needed.
In terms of mounting and racking systems, we believe in utilizing engineered systems wherever possible. These have been well thought out and have received professional engineer (PE) stamps to certify that they meet all design requirements when used as specified…such as wind loads, snow loads, etc. Our preferred mounting solutions for solar energy systems include QuickMount PV, Zilla, Unirac, and Snap 'N Rack.
The balance of the solar energy solution involves cabling and monitoring components. For monitoring, the most robust solution is provided by Enphase's on-line "Enlighten" site, together with their "Envoy" gateway and optional "Environ" digital thermostat and remote monitoring components. Once again, we'd very much enjoy the opportunity to demonstrate the unique capabilities and ease-of-use to our clients.
Please click on the links highlighted below (or those above) to view more information on these various components in our solar energy / renewable energy solutions.
Click on the images below to view videos about the intelligent Enphase monitoring solution, which allows AES to monitor our clients' solar energy systems down to the modular level, and easily identify and isolate problems quickly, saving our clients time and money.

It Worked for Hillary: IRS Now Wiping Lois Lerner's Devices Clean
This administration seems to have a pattern…lies, lies and more lies and then destroy the evidence at all costs. It looks like Hillary Clinton wasn't the only one to wipe the server or a device clean. The IRS did the same thing with Lois Lerner's Blackberry. This is just more evidence of Obama's "most transparent administration in history".
But why would you wipe a device clean IF you had NOTHING to hide?
Why did the IRS wipe out Lois Lerner's Blackberry shortly after congressional staffers interviewed the then-IRS official about suspected targeting of conservative groups?
H/T The Washington Post:
So far, the IRS has provided no answer.
The issue came to light last month after U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan ordered the IRS to explain its efforts to recover emails that went missing when the former official's hard drive crashed in 2011.
Sullivan is presiding over a lawsuit against the IRS from the conservative legal group Judicial Watch, which wants to obtain Lerner's e-mails. The organization suspects that the Blackberry may contain duplicates of communications that were lost when Lerner's hard drive crashed in 2011.
In response to the judge's order, a top IRS official said in a signed declaration that the agency has no record of attempting to recover data from the mobile device.
IRS attorney Thomas J. Kane said in a separate declaration that the agency "removed or wiped clean" information from the Blackberry in June 2012, shortly after congressional staffers questioned Lerner about the targeting allegations and in the same month that the IRS inspector general began examining the issue.
That's right. The device was wiped clean AFTER they summoned Lois Lerner and AFTER they questioned her about reports of the IRS' targeting of conservative groups. The key word is: AFTER. If that were you or I in a similar situation, we would have been put in jail for INTENTIONALLY destroying evidence. It's a crime! The IRS committed a crime! Lois Lerner also committed a crime! She said there was NO evidence available at the time of her questioning, but IN FACT the evidence WAS there! It wasn't destroyed until AFTER her testimony.
If you want to read more, there's more here.
You see the pattern, right? Lies, lies and more lies and then destroy any and all evidence leading to the truth. So much for the "most transparent administration in history", unless of course, by tranparent you mean "wipe out" the truth or just "play dumb".
… like Hillary did when asked if she "wiped the server clean":
How stupid do Democrats, Obama and Clinton think the average Americans really are? …."like with a cloth or something?" Seriously?
Clinton is a Yale Law School graduate, post-graduate and even taught criminal law. She is not stupid. Get real!
Whether it's a device, a paper trail or a human being with information that could incriminate her, it doesn't matter…she's going to destroy it. The Democrats are no different.
Obama can talk about all his wonderful and TRANSPARENT administration, but let's be honest. Obama's administration and Hillary Clinton have been THE MOST NON-TRANSPARENT administration in history. All the lies are just sickening…like Benghazi.
This administration will do ANYTHING at ANY COST to avoid telling the truth because they know they can get away with it. It's just one scandal after another, but hey according to Obama it's the "most transparent administration in history".

Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon has revealed he's planning a "down and dirty" visual style for the eighth game in the series, citing Epic's Gears of War as the "look" he's aiming for.
"Our goal, graphically, with this game is to be as gritty... To me, when I saw Gears of War, I was like, Holy shit! That's the look that we've been talking about... Visually, that's what we want to do," he explained in an interview with Game Informer.
Epic's Unreal Engine 3, which powered Gears, is being used for Mortal Kombat 8.
Speaking further about the sequel, Boon promised that "we're doing something with the next game that's unbelievably unexpected," adding that gameplay-wise it's a complete start-over for MK8.

"We're not going to have three fighting styles, we're not going to have the same punches and kicks and the same kind of control scheme. Everything is getting trashed. We're reinventing everything from the ground up. We really think that's needed," he said.
Boon gave a possible release date of "Novemberish time of 2008" for Mortal Kombat 8.

One hack reported over the holiday weekend seems intended more as a warning than a serious attack in and of itself. Posted by the AntiSec hacking group, the document supposedly contains user names and passwords from a technical support server. It's hardly anything on the level of violation that Sony has experienced in recent, so why did AntiSec bother?
Many hackers attack targets simply to prove that they can, but more often than not it seems they do it because they disapprove of something the company has done. According to Larry Dignan at Cnet, Hackers apparently are too 'busy elsewhere' to mess with Apple, but that doesn't mean the company is bulletproof. One trigger something that may annoy hackers could set off a larger attack. Apple's iTunes and iCloud servers, with their host of customer data, would certainly make juicy targets for disgruntled hackers. Not surprisingly, the company issued no comment on the incident.
Hackers also got political this weekend by breaking into the Twitter feed of Fox News. Late in the evening on July 3, a post appeared on the media company's Twitter feed that said Just regained full access to our Twitter and email. Happy 4th. This tweet, however, was quickly followed by several others that clearly indicated the hackers in this case, a group calling itself Script Kiddies were in control.
These follow-up tweets, currently down but still up for at least part of the Independence Day holiday, stated (among other things) that Barack Obama had just passed away. In making these false posts, the hackers had managed to break into a verified Twitter account that is, an account that the microblogging site had verified as belonging to a specific person or organization.
Fox News notified the Secret Service that their Twitter feed had been hacked. The media company is not taking this attack laying down, either. Jeff Misenti, vice president and general manager of Fox News Digital, said that We will be requesting a detailed investigation from Twitter about how this occurred and measure to prevent future unauthorized access into FoxNews.com accounts.
Twitter, for its part, apparently thinks Fox News is responsible for its own downfall. The microblogging site's statement, read, in part, that While Twitter does monitor accounts for brute-force login attempts and similar methods of attack, we're unable to anticipate compromises that take place due to offsite behavior...We've heard from Fox News that they have identified the offsite vector that led to the compromise, and would encourage follow-up with them about the details of how that compromise took place.

Which Version Of Windows 8 Should You Buy?
- Windows 8 – likely to become the most popular for home users.
- Windows 8 Pro – targeted more at power users and businesses. Adds BitLocker, ability to join domains, Group Policy, Remote Desktop, Encrypting File System etc.
- Windows 8 Enterprise – only available to Software Assurance customers (typically large corporations).
In addition, you need to decide whether to buy an Upgrade or Full version of Windows 8:
- Upgrade – cheaper than the full version but you must have a genuine licensed copy of Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 installed on your computer to upgrade from.
- Full – if you do not have a genuine licensed copy of Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 installed on your computer, you must buy a Full version.
Warning: If you buy the Upgrade version and ever have to replace your hard drive, remember that you need to reinstall the previous version of Windows before you can upgrade it to Windows 8 – problematic if you have no way of reinstalling the previous version e.g. Vista was pre-installed and you have no Vista installation DVD.
32-Bit Or 64-Bit? The 32-bit version can only read and use up to about 3.25 GB of memory (RAM) whereas the 64-bit version can read and use up to 16GB of memory or more. Computers today increasingly come with at least 4GB of memory to satisfy the high demands of gaming and video editing so 64 bit versions of Windows are far more common as they can make full use of these larger amounts of memory.
If your computer has 3GB or less RAM you can choose either version – but we recommend 64-bit in case you want to add more RAM later. If your computer has 4GB+ RAM you should choose the 64-bit version or part of your RAM will be wasted and your computer will be slower than it could be.
[Note: not all older programs will be compatible with 64-bit versions of Windows 8, check the requirements of any programs you intend to install]
OEM Version? Many online shops also sell the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) version – often called the 'System Builder' version because it is aimed at those building a new PC. OEM versions are cheaper than the standard price of Retail versions – e.g. Amazon sell Windows 8 OEM DVD 64-Bit for just $99.99 at the time of writing.
OEM versions come in either 32-bit or 64-bit versions whereas Retail versions include both (you choose which of the two to install). OEM versions are licensed for computer system builders only – there are different opinions as to whether home users can legally buy and install it for themselves but the fact that major stores happily sell it to the public suggests it is probably ok.
The license for W8 OEM versions is linked to the motherboard in your computer i.e. you can only use it on that one computer – if you scrap your computer and buy another you will not be able to reuse W8 on the new computer. If your motherboard dies and you replace it, you may be able to persuade Microsoft that it is still basically the same computer but if they say no you will need to buy W8 again…
Current Offers – There are several offers from Microsoft on Windows 8 Pro at the moment:
If you buy a qualifying Windows 7 computer between 2 June 2012 and 31 January 2013 you can upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for $14.99
Consumer versions of XP, Vista and Windows 7 on qualifying computers will be able to download an upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for $39.99 until 31 January 2013.
Consumer versions of XP, Vista and Windows 7 on qualifying computers will be able to buy a DVD upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for $69.99 until 31 January 2013 – this is on offer at Amazon for $66.99 at the time of writing.
Windows 8 Pro users can take advantage of a temporary offer to get the Media Center Pack free (usual cost $9.99) – so you can watch and record live TV with Windows Media Center.

2011 Dodge Avenger - 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show
Making its public debut at the LA Auto Show and benefiting from the same kind of wide-ranging upgrade efforts that have been wrought on its other divisional running mates, the 2011 Dodge Avenger will roll into the new year with a bolder look, various powertrain enhancements, a more athletic personality and a significant interior redesign. Collectively, they should help raise the profile of this mid-size sedan in an increasingly competitive, high-volume market segment.
>See more new cars unveiled at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show
Although exterior changes on the 2011 Dodge Avenger are relatively modest, the restyled front fascia boasts an edgier character highlighted by a more aggressive take on the signature "gunsight" grille. Beneath the hood, the base Avenger will offer a recalibrated version of the 2.4-liter four-cylinder World Gas Engine that can now be teamed with the six-speed automatic transmission in addition to the existing four-speed. The big news is the arrival of the new 3.5-liter Pentastar V6. Paired exclusively with the six-speed autoshifter, it makes 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, bumps of 20 percent and 17 percent respectively, over the outgoing 3.5-liter that it replaces.
To suitably sharpen its reflexes, the 2011 Dodge Avenger also received a thorough suspension tweaking that brought new geometry, a one-inch increase in track dimensions, lower ride height, recalibrated chassis bushings and wider, stickier tires. Dodge says the changes result in dramatic improvements to overall vehicle dynamics, increasing its steering precision and response, trimming body roll, improving overall cabin isolation and generally just making the new Avenger a lot more fun to drive.
The final area to come under scrutiny was the Avenger's interior. Here, the fix-it formula kicks off with new premium trim materials and a healthy dose of additional soft-touch surfaces plus loads more sound deadener. Also on hand are a redesigned dash and a new multifunction steering wheel. On sale later this fall, the 2011 Dodge Avenger will be available in four trim levels: Express, Mainstreet, Heat and Lux. Pricing ranges from $19,995 to $24,495.

Hi all,
I work in the NHS, when we work overtime there are two methods of renumeration, we can take it as paid hours or take it as time off in lieu of overtime worked.
We are being told that if we do not use our toil within a certain time we lose the hours owed to us.
This to me is the same as saying "if you do not spend your overtime pay within a certain time we will take it back".
I can't see how they can legally do this as toil is a renumeration for hours worked, exactly the same as salary is, could this be a breach of contract?
Does anyone have any thoughts on this please.
Many thanks.

An Invasion from Heaven
Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?
What does the word "revival" mean? We can gain a better understanding of this word by looking at its close relative, "revive." To revive something means to bring it back to life again. We could just as easily use the word "restoration" in its place. To restore something is to return it to its original state.Revival is kind of a church word. By that I mean, the secular culture doesn't need revival; they need evangelism. Here's the interesting thing: evangelism doesn't necessarily produce revival, but revival always produces evangelism. Whenever there has been a spiritual awakening, there has been an evangelistic thrust that has come as a result. When God's people are awakened, when they are restored, when they are revived, then they go out and start doing what they should have been doing all along, which is proclaiming the gospel.One author wrote that revival is "an extraordinary movement of the Holy Spirit, producing extraordinary results." Another said, "Revival is a community saturated with God." And A. W. Tozer defined revival as "that which changes the moral climate of a community." When we pray for a revival, we are praying for a restoration.In Psalm 85 we find this prayer for revival: "Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?" (verse 6).A revival is an invasion from Heaven. It is when God is at work and we can't explain it. That is what I want to see again—a time in which Christians are saying, "We don't know how this started or entirely what is going on. All we know is that people are packing out our churches. People are coming to Christ. People are praying."We need revival, and the world needs the gospel. Let's pray that God will revive us.

|Just curious what other daylily growers due before winter sets in.The man that comes out to do my yearly state inspection told me that it is best to remove as much of the foliage as possible before winter and discard it. I have always let it die back naturally then raked it off and discarded it in the spring of the next year,with the exception of last year . I followed his advice and removed all leaves and destroyed them. I did not lose anything over the winter nor did I notice anything different.I would like to know other growers opinion on this matter.

|In years past, I left old foliage. Sort of a natural mulch.
It makes me run behind in spring. By the time I have cleared beds of old foliage, it is on the late side for pre-emergent.
This is the first time I am going to try cleaning the beds in fall.
Oct 8, 2012 5:08 PM CST
|I let mine die back. I dont cut them down. I keep it cleared away but i let it die back and clean up in the spring.

|You want to hear something real crazy??? Last fall I was on my last mowing for the year and as always I had my mower set as low as I can get it ,And while driving by my lily beds I said , What If? And guess what I did next? ___Yes I did" I got on my beds one by one and mowed my day lily's down to the dirt! some of the clumps you cold see the roots! I didn't sleep all last winter worrying about them!, But guess what ? This year they came back with a vengeance! I don't know what the moral of this story is but I'll never do it again!!
Oct 8, 2012 5:30 PM CST
|That is so funny, Hector. "You don't know what the moral of the story is, but you will never

For what it's worth, I would be the same way. Worry, worry, worry.
Oct 8, 2012 5:31 PM CST
|I let mine die back to mulch naturally and will also add leaves that have been run thru our lawn mower when we use it to pick up the leaves instead of hauling them to the refuse site.
If you want to be happy for a lifetime plant a garden!

|Let mine brown out and die back. Do periodically clean them up before spring, but our winters make that a lot easier than would be the case in Michigan and other points north. Guess it might be a personal preference, then?. Would you rather get it all done now or wait for late winter/spring to clean it all out.
It's okay to not know all the answers.
Oct 8, 2012 7:25 PM CST
|I prefer to let the foliage die back rather than cut the foliage in the late summer or early fall. My thinking is that I want the daylily to put all its energy in the roots and next year's fans as opposed to supporting the new foliage that grows back after cutting the foliage back. I wait until better weather days during the winter to cut back any foliage that is above the ground and to clean out any dead foliage. We mulch with pinestraw so we don't need the old dead foliage as mulch. I want to get rid of the dead foliage so insects and disease cannot overwinter in the dead foliage. By doing this, the only real foliage above the ground will be the evergreen daylilies. I will already have cleaned out the beds before spring gets here and can put out the fertilizers in early March followed by fresh mulch before the foliage starts leafing out. We usually have our first freeze in early November with our last freeze/frost date in mid April. I would like to be ready to start cutting back foliage by mid November once I get all the new fall arrivals (daylilies) planted (maybe this week!) and another bed of daylilies moved around. If you wait long enough, the dormant foliage is completely dead and the semievergreen foliage is not near as plentiful as the evergreen foliage and the cleaning goes much quicker.
I do think it is a personal preference whether you cut back or let the foliage die back naturally. Whether I cut the foliage back or not in late summer or fall, I would still have to clean out the dead foliage by spring.

|I let the foilage die back and self mulch the plants. It is a little extra work in the spring like Juli said but I have been doing it that way for over l8 years.
I should have said too, that when everything is covered in 4 to 6" of snow, you don't see anything anyway.

|Since most of the daylilies here are divided yearly they get cut back in the early fall when dividing.
I try not to cut back the foliage on any others unless it's absolutely necessary or the foliage is really ratty looking. It easier to put down alfalfa pellets and fertlizer if they have been cut back though.
Oct 9, 2012 6:41 AM CST
|I cut all gardens down in Oct/Nov.
I like seeing clean beds all winter.
I like even better seeing fresh starts of all perennials in the early spring. Such anticipation.
Oct 9, 2012 3:07 PM CST
|This is definately a question of personal choice and what works best for your situation. Our season is short up here which for me means preparing ahead for the next season begins in August. I have 3 beds rotating for sdlg's - new spring planted, then 1st year to bloom and 2nd year to bloom and 4 rotating for selects. Beds get cut back starting with the 1st year to bloom sdlg's and previous years select sdlg beds.New spring planted seedlings get weeded, not trimmed. I start the end of August, just as I finish pollenating and bloom is winding down. Doing it at this time gives me a chance to see how each one has done over the season and give the beds a thorough weeding. Scapes with pods are much easier to find when foliage is cut 10 - 12 inches, you just have to be careful when trimming not to cut them off! Once pods are off the 2nd year bloomers the selects are dug, trimmed, moved and the rest of the seedlings in that section dug and composted to prepare the bed for the new sdg's next spring.
Then I move down to the front display garden and do the same trim & weed. This is also the time for fall orders to begin shipping and digging, dividing and rearranging of the plants in beds and a good weeding to be done. I hand weed everything here starting as soon as the ground thaws to when the first scapes come up, then I stop so as not to break scapes off while bending for weeds.In the 6 to 8 weeks of bloom it is amazing how the weeds grow all hidden by foliage.I can do fan counts on all plants and update maps easier when they are trimmed, something which can not be done once it snows, then I can work on my seedling book, sale listings, garden list etc. for the next year during winter.The last to be cut are my other perennials. All that's left to do now is update maps, fan counts, flip the compost pile and begin splitting wood to dry for next year, the crisp fall days are perfect for splitting wood.
Oct 9, 2012 3:15 PM CST
|I am beginning to believe it is actually a matter of personal preference. I believe as Doris had mentioned that the only real benefit to cutting opposed to die back is to help elimanate soil borne disease and cut back on insects wintering over in foliage. I like to have a clean garden come spring so I can get right on weed control so by cutting in the fall this will give me more time in the spring to work on weeding.I hate weeds but the always seem to get away from me by late July/early August.

I miss using wood for heat. Nothing better, or warmer! I have a Johnson wood furnace in my basement that used to go to my regular furnace ducts. It was wonderful. Then, I added on, so my Mom could move in, and we had to get another furnace. Code would not allow them to tie in to the existing ducts. So,it just heats the basement and one, separate, duct for the upstairs. So, the basement and that one room get to be 90 and the rest of the house is cold.
My Mom is terrified of the wood stove.
So any change in ducts must wait till she passes on......

|I agree Paula, I can't help but think it is good to get rid of any diseased foliage. Mine do grow back some and with the cutting not real short they have a little coverage when everything dies back.
Nothing like starting the woodstove to take the chill off the house these fall nights, have yet to even see if the backup furnace is working. The copy I ordered last spring of the Landscaping With Daylilies book is waiting for a good day to curl up with a book, blanket and woodstove. By Feb. I will be well over the cozy feeling, hauling wood and loading the stove every hour... will have me counting the minutes til April!

Up to now, I've left the growth on the plants for a winter mulch and cleaned beds in spring.
However, the weird weather this year has me wondering.

lilylady said:I cut all gardens down in Oct/Nov.
I totally agree. I can't wait to cut foliage back around Oct 1.
Another reason is I can see vole holes and place traps much easier with foliage cut back. Last winter I had 16 or so traps set at once. I also do a fan count and enter it in PlantStep and it's much easier to count them when foliage cut. It's been interesting how some increase so quickly and some take forever.
Vole Hole
Determine if it's active by sprinking on some poultry grit, sand or gravel.
If the gravel has been moved, it's active and you want to place your trap here.
Snap Trap
I place a pot held in place with a bamboo stick to prevent neighborhood cats, etc from harm.

Kohler is known for doing some- thing amazing: It is able to combine subtle elegance and bathroom furnishings, elevating
the status of the bathroom from kept-under-wraps to being boasted about. It's said one
can tell a lot about a space from how its
bathroom is designed, and that sentiment
probably comes in no small part from the
work Kohler has done.
Kohler's Culver City, Calif., showroom,
which opened in May of this year, is one of
the smallest of the company's showrooms at
2,700 square feet, Brian Goehle, AIA, NCARB,Kohler's manager of Architecture and InteriorDesign, told me over the phone from his Chicagolocation. But that footprint hasn't hinderedthe space. "People are impressed with howmuch we were able to display without it feelingcramped," he said. "It brings a curated andcomposed experience to the consumer."With Goehle in the Windy City, I met withKathy Moses, the showroom's manager, to tourthe site. In our phone conversation, Goehlebegan by explaining the historic importance ofthe location, which is made evident upon arrival.Located in the historic Holmes BakeryDistrict—site of the bread bakery for the 1933
Olympic games—the building is rooted in the
local environment, giving Goehle's team a
challenge to connect Kohler's product to the
significance of the region. "When my team and
I start designing these signature stores, we try
to keep them contextual," he said. "We tried
to do that in this location by celebrating the
historic aspect of the store and bringing that to
the forefront." While the showroom is home to
all of the glitz and glam of Kohler's line, keeping
the original shell of the building, including the
cement floors and cinderblock walls, ties the
brand to the historic site, adding just a dash of
industrial chic to the location.
The left is what we called a suite. It's a large bath solution to show thebreadth of the product range, and it's on the design trend. The consumerand user are allowed to meander through the space as it unfolds."In the center of the space, a large screen is used to displayproduct, concepts, and sustainability efforts, giving a digital touch tothe traditionally analog behavior of bathroom furnishings.

At the heart of the city lies the Riverwalk district. Take the stairs from the street level down to the Riverwalk, where a lush, shady refuge awaits. There the San Antonio River is lined on both sides with pedestrian walkways that are closed to bicycles and motor vehicles. Hotels and shops line the Riverwalk and delicious scents emanating from restaurants beckon to passersby. Many of the buildings have entrances on both the street level and the Riverwalk level. Visitors can take relaxing river cruises and some restaurants offer lunch and dinner cruises.
A short walk from the Riverwalk is the famed Alamo, 300 Alamo Plaza, which stands as a testament to American courage. On March 6, 1836 the 189 men defending the Alamo fell to the Mexican troops of General Santa Ana after a 13 day siege. Today the only two buildings left standing of the original fort are the chapel and the long barracks. Take a free guided tour of the grounds, then visit the Long Barracks Museum and Library to learn more about the fort from the displays there.
La Villita
Adjacent to the Riverwalk is La Villita, a collection of restaurants, arts and crafts stores and other shops. Wander among the shops featuring a variety of works such as glass figurines, original paintings and pottery.
Shop at Market Square
Another popular shopping district is the Market Square, 514 W. Commerce, designed to look like an authentic market in Mexico. Here youll find pewter and enamel bracelets, bright porcelain wall crosses, clothing and more. There are additional shops located across the road at Farmers Market Square.
San Antonio is famous for its beautiful mission churches along the San Antonio River. In the 18th century Spain built the missions as part of its effort to convert the areas Native Americans to Catholicism. In addition to the Mission San Antonio de Valero at the Alamo, visitors can tour Mission Concepción, Mission San Francisco de la Espada, Mission San José and Mission San Juan Capistrano.
If youre itching for a dose of culture, the San Antonio Museum of Art, 200 W Jones, is the place to go. The museum houses a fine collection of European, Asian, Latin American and ancient art.
And the Zoo!
Finally, on a pleasant day you can visit the San Antonio Zoo, 3903 N. St. Mary's St., which includes the usual mix of monkeys and zebras as well as a butterfly garden, an area for the preschool crowd and a wonderful collection of unique birds.

11 x 14
the snotty whiteI was watching Thomas Kitts' excellent video demo about using Flake White on Facebook the other day (actually, it's embedded on August 10th on his timeline if you want to spend a fascinating few hours) and it got me thinking about whites again. Lazily, I've been mainly using titanium white, usually straight from the tube, but there are alternatives out there that can have a huge impact on your painting. They're worth exploring.
First, a quick summary of the main whites out there:
Flake white:
made with lead, this white paint comes in a variety consistencies, some of which are very stringy and thick. This is a translucent, warm white which would have been used by everyone until the 1800's when zinc came along. Rembrandt and Van Gogh used this one to its fullest capacity, creating impasto swirls and drizzles. It's a lean white, and very strong. I love its look, but am less enthusiastic about adding more lead to the world in the form of paint covered rags and paint sludge.
Zinc white:
A cool, translucent white that dries to a brittle film. This one is not a good choice for canvas but can be used in a limited amount on rigid supports. I don't use it because I use a lot of white in my work and need it to be as archival as possible. Zinc isn't that.
Titanium white:
A cool, opaque white invented in the 1920's. This is most commonly on palettes today because of its brightness and ability to cover anything underneath it. That last feature is also a drawback because subtle effects like scumbles and velaturas are not easy to achieve without adding a lot of medium to titanium, and it can make colours chalky in a hurry. A rule that I always follow when adding t. white is to never let white be the last color I add to a mix.
There are other whites but they're all based on these 3. Many titanium whites are mixed with some zinc in order to achieve certain paint film/drying qualities. To read about these to a wonderfully geeky extent, check out Pigments Through the Ages. It's satisfying and informative.
Then there are the fast drying whites (alkyds are added), and the whites that I used in the still life above: flake white mimics. This little painting was done with Gamblin's Flake White Replacement. Inspired by Kitts, I used a largely historical range of pigments and a low tinting strength white. My palette was mainly earth tones like Indian Red, Venetian red, yellow ochre, and ivory black, with the addition of Old Holland emerald green (a crazy indulgence in an art shop long ago).
The FW Replacement acted much as lead white does but without the toxicity. It's been modified to give it the ropey consistency and has a warm translucence. I've got some experience using lead white, and I don't find this too different for my purposes. I've provided a detail of the paint surface so you can see the stringy effect that you can achieve.
Winsor Newton makes a flake mimic as well: Flake White Hue, which is not as ropy, though it is translucent. It's likely that other companies have mimics as well, but I haven't looked for them.
It was fun to paint a piece exclusively with FWR, but I don't often use it from start to finish in a painting; I like the brilliant punch of titanium to add finishing highlights. However, I don't usually like titanium's smooth, buttery consistency straight out of the tube, so, when I'm not being extremely lazy, I squeeze out big blobs of it onto a piece of cardboard to absorb excess oil oil and make it a bit stiffer and more textural. Because titanium dries very slowly, you can leave it overnight or longer to absorb a lot of excess oil. It won't become ropey, but it will sit up on the surface much better.
To read more about whites, check out the technical information sections of manufacturer's sites. Gamblin has a nice bit on whites here.
Happy painting!

Fidel Castro to release first volume of memoirs
Cuba's former President Fidel Castro has unveiled plans to release the first volume of his memoirs.
The book, to be called The Strategic Victory, will be published in August.
It will focus on the story of how just a few hundred revolutionaries under Mr Castro's command defeated the Cuban army in 1958.
Mr Castro, 83, said he had spent months working on the book since falling ill in 2006 and handing power to his brother Raul.
Among the many titles the former revolutionary said he considered for the 25-chapter book was: How 300 defeated 10,000.
The volume includes photographs, maps and plans of the guerrilla war against the dictator Fulgencio Batista, he told Cuban website cubadebate.cu.
There will also be a detailed account of the final offensive, which Mr Castro said lasted 74 days.
Taking Havana
After Batista's army was defeated at the battle of Las Mercedes in the first week of August 1958, Mr Castro writes, "the fate of the tyranny was sealed".
"Its military collapse was imminent," he adds.
The rebel army suffered 31 deaths, while the government lost 300 troops and saw many more taken prisoner, according to Mr Castro. The rebel army seized a large amount of weapons and ammunition.
From then, the rebel army was in a position to launch its final, strategic offensive, the veteran communist writes. The war engulfed the whole country and Mr Castro's rebels took Havana on the first of January, 1959.
Fulgencio Batista then fled Cuba.
The Strategic Victory will also include a short autobiography in which the former president remembers his childhood and describes how he became a guerrilla fighter.
"I did not want to wait to respond to the numerous questions about my childhood, adolescence and youth and how I became a revolutionary and armed combatant", Mr Castro writes.
After a long period of seclusion since his illness, Mr Castro, who turns 84 next month, has made seven public appearances in recent weeks, including three televised speeches.
He said he would continue working on a second volume of memoirs, to be called The Final Strategic Counteroffensive.

Tahs take the spoils, but it wasn't pretty
WHO said last night's Super 14 warm-up clash between the Waratahs and Brumbies was just a dress rehearsal where the result didn't really matter?
Not Waratahs captain Phil Waugh who, well before NSW won 15-7, revealed his wish to stay in front at Viking Park in the ACT.
The giveaway was his call for Berrick Barnes to take a penalty kick, rather than try for a five-pointer, after only 26 minutes to put his side 8-7 up.
So much for the unwritten rule in trials where teams generally agree to go for tries rather than take penalty kicks. The boos from a crowd of about 4000 showed what they thought of Waugh's call for the kick.
''Berrick's going to get boos next week when he is lining up for penalty kicks [in round one against the Reds next Friday]. That was a bit of the thinking,'' Waugh explained afterwards.
''It's good match practice for him, and important to nail those … We won by eight points in the end, so it was a pretty important kick. Winning is a habit. The more you ingrain the habit, the better you are at it. It's good to get that win, but we played for no points. It's how we go next week.''
Testing combinations and patterns of play were still a focus for both sides, who gave glimpses of their potential later this year, even if the array of attacking plays trickled to a stop near the end of the first half when the game became bogged in a series of scrum restarts in the Brumbies' corner.
By then, what initially appeared like a positive compliance to Australian Rugby Union chief executive John O'Neill's call for entertainment was anything but.
However, to be fair, it was not so much the fault of both sides - nor referee Steve Walsh. Waratahs coach Chris Hickey did warn before the game that with new interpretations of laws a period of ''bedding down'' between the cast and crew of Super 14 would be needed for the rugby show to shine.
The resets were also due to the strength of the Waratahs' scrum over the Brumbies' pack in a game where the NSW forwards also dominated at the lineout. The game didn't lack endeavour though. And taking note was Wallabies coach Robbie Deans - and his assistants Jim Williams and Richard Graham - and Western Force coach John Mitchell, whose side will play the Brumbies in round one in Perth next Friday. There was plenty of gristle and grunt in the first half, in which the Waratahs led 8-7. The heavy hits and support play by both sides in defence, mixed with the attacking intent of the first 20 minutes - while lacking polish - hinted that the two teams should find themselves in the finals fray in May.
The second half saw both sides make their forecast changes, but the appearance of Kurtley Beale in the NSW back line was at the last minute.
Yesterday's adjournment of his court case on an assault charge to June 7 cleared the way for him to resume playing duties - and for Hickey to continue tinkering with his five-eighth and inside-centre combinations, of which the first trialled last night was Barnes at 10 and Daniel Halangahu at 12. With Beale making a hurried dash from Canberra airport in time for kick-off, Hickey was then able to run Halangahu at 10 and Beale at 12 for the second half. And Beale showed he wasn't going to waste a second of the time he got on the soft Viking Park paddock - his first touch after play resumed saw him bust 20 metres down the midfield and then in the tackle flip a pass behind and over his head to the trail of Waratahs players in his wake.
As if ignited by Beale's break - and the fresh legs put in both sides with changes - the energetic pace of the first 20 minutes returned in the second half. Finesse in finishing attacks may gone wanting; but the willingness to dare certainly helped the vocal local crowd sit through a heavy evening shower.
The Waratahs were the first to be rewarded at the 60th minute with their second try. Set up by uncontracted winger Peter Betham, it was scored by halfback Josh Holmes who replaced Josh Valentine after the break and put NSW up 13-7 - a scoreline that rose to 15-7 with Halangahu's conversion.

I attended an abstract painting workshop a year or two ago. We had to use a poem as reference to paint. I used a poem of Hester Heese with the name 'Windgetik". In english it will be something like "mad about the wind".
It is about a girl running in the wind. Laughing and enjoying it. She loves the wind so much that she wants to catch it and put it in a box. Like a gift that you can open again later. But the wind has found a way to escape.
Ek hardloop deur die wind
"Stuitig!" sê my ma.
Ek lag en gooi my arms op.
"Windgetik", sê Pa.
Ek wil die wilde ooswind vang
En bêre net vir my,
Maar toe ek later na hom soek,
Het hy die wegwaaipad gekry.

Tariq Fatemi, Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's Special Assistant on Foreign Affairs, has said that the United States is not willing to release the amount due from the Coalition Support Fund (CSF) to his country and yet claims that Pakistan has 'not done enough' in the ongoing war on terror.
"The US is not willing to release the funds from CSF which we have already spent on the war on terror, yet they (US officials) always complain about our lack of efforts," Fatemi was quoted as saying by 'Dawn'
"Pakistan's role in the war on terror has been unprecedented, and the country has achieved immense success. The work done by Pakistan has not been done by any European country or the US," he added.
He said that it will be wrong to say that Pakistan has been isolated diplomatically by India.
"I do not agree that Pakistan has been isolated diplomatically," he said.
He further pointed out that India's refusal to attend the SAARC conference was more damaging to the region as a whole rather than Pakistan.
"India does not forgive any country. Nepal's SAARC summit was sabotaged by India. Maldives and Sri Lanka's SAARC summit was also sabotaged by India," Fatemi said.
Tariq Fatemi accused India of using the SAARC summit as a platform to pressurise other countries.
"All major international countries are of the opinion that the only way forward towards progress is through regional cooperation. SAARC is the only organisation in the region present for regional cooperation, and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was to present proposals for cooperation which would have benefited every country in the region," he added.

(Wikimedia Commons/By P199) (Newser) – From a worst best man to a real estate agent who was allegedly a little more real eXXXtate, here are the weird crimes of the week: Best Man's Bachelor Party Turns Out to Be 'Nastiest' Scam: Before Dino Carter even proposed to his girlfriend, he asked Martyn Galvin to be the best man at his wedding. Galvin repaid his pal of 18 years by setting up the bachelor party, collecting money from the groom and his friends for a big bash in Prague and a horse-racing outing in York—then not coming anywhere close to delivering. Teen Peeved With Parents' Vacation Choice Calls 911: Is Trent Hills, Ontario, really that bad? A 15-year-old girl "forced" to go to the Canadian vacation spot by her parents last week apparently thought so—and called 911 with her emergency. Police who responded to the cottage the family rented were not amused. Here's what they had to say. Cops: Real Estate Agent Did the Deed in Home She Sold: Before the new owner of a home in Friendswood, Texas, could even hook up the appliances, an entirely different kind of hookup apparently took place inside. At least, that's how it appears after the real estate agent who sold the property was arrested for allegedly having sex inside the home the day after the closing. Kayla Marisa Seloff, 22, allegedly told police this story before they say she ultimately confessed. Man Upset at Tree for Ruining His Car Makes It Much Worse: Five people are homeless after a man's afternoon of aggressive pruning went awry. Raymond Mazzarella of Pennsylvania was upset because sap from the branches of his neighbor's tree was dripping onto his car. So he decided to take a chainsaw to the tree's 3-foot-wide trunk. "Where he thought it was going to go, I don't know," a code enforcement officer says. Police: Teacher Faked Attack on Himself for Some Reason: A Washington state high school teacher who claimed he was attacked in his classroom last May admitted Thursday he made the whole thing up. Bothell High School shop teacher Calvin Pygott, 63, was found by a fellow teacher in the hall outside his classroom. He claimed he had been knocked unconscious from behind and woke up covered in blood with a head wound and a zip-tie around his neck. Police say there were holes in Pygott's story from the beginning.
