Beloved for its delicious young shoots, asparagus is one of the first crops of spring harvest. Growing asparagus is a boon to your health too, as this perennial vegetable is rich in B vitamins, vitamin C, calcium, and iron. And it just so happens that fresh-picked spears are far more tender and tasty than store-bought asparagus.
Asparagus thrives in any area having winter ground freezes or dry seasons. In fact, the mild, wet regions of Florida and the Gulf Coast are about the only places where it's difficult to grow asparagus. Here's everything you need to know about growing asparagus, whether you start from seed or spear.
Planting Asparagus
Select and prepare your asparagus bed with care — this crop will occupy the same spot for 20 years or more. It can tolerate some shade, but full sun produces more vigorous plants and helps minimize disease. Asparagus does best in lighter soils that warm up quickly in spring and drain well; standing water will quickly rot the roots.
Prepare a planting bed for your asparagus, like this simple raised bed, that's about 4 feet wide by removing all perennial weeds and roots and digging in plenty of aged manure or compost.
Asparagus plants are monoecious — meaning each individual asparagus plant is either male or female. Some varieties of asparagus, such as Jersey Knight and Jersey Giant, produce all male or primarily male plants, so they're more productive — male plants yield more harvestable shoots because they don't have to invest energy in producing seeds. Choose an all-male asparagus variety if high yield is your primary goal.
If you like to experiment, you may also want to grow an heirloom asparagus variety or a purple-stalked variety like Purple Passion. With an all-male variety, 25 plants are usually adequate for a household of four; plant double that amount for standard varieties. (Ardent asparagus lovers recommend tripling these quantities.)
Starting asparagus from one-year-old crowns gives you a year's head start over seed-grown plants. Two-year-old crowns are usually not a bargain. They tend to suffer more from transplant shock and won't produce any faster than one-year-old crowns. Buy crowns from a reputable nursery that sells fresh, firm, disease-free roots. Plant them immediately if possible; otherwise, wrap them in slightly damp sphagnum moss until you are ready to plant.
To plant asparagus crowns, dig trenches 12 inches wide and 6 inches deep (8 inches in sandy soil) down the center of the prepared bed. Soak the crowns in compost tea for 20 minutes before planting. Place the crowns in the trenches 1½ to 2 feet apart; top them with 2 to 3 inches of soil. Two weeks later, add another inch or two of soil. Continue adding soil periodically until the soil is slightly mounded above surface level to allow for settling.
Mulching and Watering
Apply mulch to smother weeds, which compete with the young spears and reduce yields. Carefully remove any weeds that do appear. Water regularly during the first two years after planting. As asparagus matures, it crowds out most weeds and sends long, fleshy roots deep into the earth, so watering is less critical. Fertilize in spring and fall by top-dressing with liquid fertilizer (such as compost tea) or side-dressing with a balanced fertilizer.
Leave winter-killed foliage, along with straw or other light mulch, on the bed to provide winter protection. Remove and destroy the fern-like foliage before new growth appears in spring; it can harbor diseases and pest eggs.
If you want to grow white asparagus, which has a slightly milder flavor than green asparagus, blanch the spears by heaping up soil or mulch over the bed before they emerge.
Starting Asparagus From Seed
It takes patience to start your asparagus patch from seed, but there are advantages to gain from the extra wait. Seed-grown plants don't suffer from transplant trauma like nursery-grown roots, and you can buy a whole packet of seed for the same price you'll pay for one asparagus crown. Most seed-grown asparagus plants eventually out-produce those started from roots. Growing from seed also allows you to selectively discard female asparagus plants and plant an all-male bed, no matter what variety you choose to grow.
In the North, start seedlings indoors in late February or early March. Sow single seeds in newspaper pots, place the pots in a sunny window, and use bottom heat to maintain the temperature of the mix in the pots at 77 degrees. When the seeds sprout, lower the temperature to 60 to 70 degrees. Once the danger of frost is past, plant the seedlings (which should be about 1 foot tall) 2 to 3 inches deep in a nursery bed.
When tiny flowers appear, observe them with a magnifying glass. Female flowers have well-developed, three-lobed pistils; male blossoms are larger and longer than female flowers. Weed out all female plants. The following spring, transplant the males to the permanent bed.
Solving Pest Problems and Defects
Healthy asparagus foliage is necessary for good root and spear production. Asparagus beetles, which chew on spears in spring and attack summer foliage, are the most prevalent problem. The 1/4-inch-long, metallic blue-black pests have three white or yellow spots on their backs. They lay dark eggs along the leaves, which hatch into light gray or brown larvae with black heads and feet. Control by hand picking; spray or dust seriously infested asparagus plants with an insecticidal soap.
These methods also control the 12-spotted asparagus beetle, which is reddish brown with six black spots on each wing cover. Asparagus miner is another foliage-feeding pest; it makes zig-zag tunnels on the stalks. Destroy any infested ferns.
Avoid asparagus rust, which produces reddish brown spots on the stems and leaves, by planting resistant cultivars. Minimize damage from Fusarium wilt, which causes spears, leaves, and stems to be small with large lesions at or below the soil line, by purchasing disease-free roots and using good garden sanitation. Crown rot causes spears to turn brown near the soil line. Prevent crown rot by planting in raised beds, maintaining good drainage, and keeping soil pH above 6.0.
If your asparagus bed does become infected by disease organisms, your best option is to start a new bed in a distant part of the garden, using newly purchased or grown plants.
If young spears turn brown and become soft or withered, they may have been injured by frost. Cover spears with mulch or newspaper when freezing nights are predicted.
Harvesting Asparagus
Don't harvest any asparagus spears during the first two years that plants are in the permanent bed. They need to put all their energy into establishing deep roots. During the third season, pick the spears over a four-week period, and by the fourth year, extend your harvest to eight weeks. In early spring, harvest spears every third day or so; as the weather warms, you might have to pick your asparagus twice a day to keep up with production. Cut asparagus spears with a sharp knife or snap off the spears at, or right below, ground level with your fingers.

Peyton Manning's No. 18 is NFL top-selling jersey
Sometimes, it's tough for us people in the trees to see how no one in the mighty NFL forest is more popular than Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning.
The NFL just released its top 25-selling jerseys in the period from April 1-Nov. 30, and Manning was No. 1. Frankly I'm a tad surprised because his jersey has been in circulation for two years. But as the RGIII star drastically dimmed and with little sex appeal in this year's rookie class (Geno Smith, anyone?), the trusted Manning remains on top.
Maybe that explains why the Broncos are playing their freakin' sixth prime-time night game Thursday against the San Diego Chargers.

|ALIEN Challenge workshop
ALIEN Challenge COST Action Workshop
ESENIAS was represented at the Data for invasive species research, policy making and management workshop, held at the Belgian Science Policy Office, Brussels, Belgium, on 16-17 February 2016. The workshop was an activity of the COST Action TD1209 European Information System for Alien Species (ALIEN Challenge), chaired by Dr. Helen Roy, Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, Natural Environment Research Council, UK. It was organised by the Botanic Garden Meise, Belgian Biodiversity Platform, Research Institute for Nature and Forest INBO, Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, and Biodiversity Information Standards, TDWG.
The aim of the workshop was to examine ways to improve the interoperability, accessibility and openness of invasive species data for all its different users. This included examining aspects, such as biodiversity informatics standards suitability for invasive species assessment; improving data flows; exploring ways to make invasive species research more reproducible and ways to resolve the fragmentation of invasive species information.
A special focus was placed on the concept of a Data Management Plan (DMP) for invasive species data. The intention was to create guidelines for such a plan. DMPs are a relatively new phenomenon, but are now required by many funding agencies. Data are assets, they are valuable from a scientific, management and political perspective. A DMP ensures that data are well organised, supports data re-use and helps to improve research reproducibility.

Now, at the completion of three years of research and development, the Cobalt Water Sports Series (WSS) stands fully prepared for you endorphin-hogging high-flyers and your demands for large, predictable wakes. The final refinements on the 232, 242, and 262 WSS boats focus on a ballast system that gives captain and boarder complete flexibility in the choice of wake, three tanks moving up to 700 pounds of ballast water in and out, selectively, each independent of the other two. No all-or-nothing deals here.
Meanwhile, the new Touch Tech system stores profiles of individual skiers and boarders, remembers their preferences for the ride out back. Then, cruise control, ballast, and trim tab adjust to deliver the exact speed and sort of wake that matches those preferences. A simple tap at Touch Tech makes it all happen. An upgradeable GPS is now available, its touch-screen right there to show the way.
These features complement the WSS boats' intrinsic advantage in combining all the best features of an inboard with the versatility and efficiency of a stern drive.

Yeah well that's it
Well living in society is my biggest fear. I felt insecure
It will end up to be a lot of people hate me and vice versa.
Disaster yeah of course because I am a Scorpion one.
IDK. maybe its just me or I've got a negative Aura all over me or they've got jealous on me?
LOL I'm not simply say so to prove I got anything to be jealous with, but it really is because most of them hate me without noticing why.
They just distinguish me out of the league like suddenly!!
Most weird things I've ever happened were once has been isolated a few minute right after we've chat and laughed (no insulting, just polite kinda jokes)!!!!
What if I say I did a wrong deeds? maybe.. but if it nada ?
Despite of being isolated, I just imagined them as an abandoned ember..
ok this is real

RICHMOND, Va. – Senior forward Courtney Hurt paced three VCU players in double figure scoring, providing 28 points and 20 rebounds, and helped fuel a critical 20-3 second half run en route to a 75-70 victory against visiting Georgia State Sunday afternoon at the Verizon Wireless Arena.
Trailing by four at the break, VCU (12-8, 5-4 CAA) scored 27 of the first 34 points in the second half and built a 16-point advantage with 11:33 remaining. Georgia State (6-14, 0-9 CAA) later cut a 12-point deficit in half with less than 2:30 to play, but could only pull within five twice the rest of the game, including 75-70 on a layup with 17 seconds to go.
"We're glad to finish the week with a win here at home," said VCU Head Coach Beth Cunningham, whose team has won six of its last seven home games. "We had a stretch there in the second half that put us over the hump and gave us a little bit of a lead. But that's a pesky Georgia State team that came out and fought us to the end. We're pleased to get back on the winning track."
Hurt (pictured, left) posted her third career 20-20 game, second of the season, to go along with four assists and two steals. Senior Andrea Barbour added 15 points and freshman Aprill McRae chipped in 12 in 28 minutes off the bench.
VCU, which picked up its 13th straight win against Georgia State, got off to a slow start early, hitting just three of its first 15 from the field, and the Panthers jumped out to an 11-6 advantage less than eight minutes in. A triple from junior Robyn Hobson halted the spurt before Barbour (pictured, below) reeled off five straight to put VCU ahead 14-11 with 10:30 left.
The lead would change hands four more times over the next two minutes before VCU regained its four-point advantage following an and-one by Barbour with 7:43 showing.
Georgia State wouldn't go away, however, and used a 12-2 run spanning nearly three minutes to take its largest lead of the game at 31-25 on a layup by Jerlisa Taylor.
The Rams cut the deficit to two three times before the half, including when Hurt made it 35-33 on a jumper with 1:05 to go. But the Panthers grabbed a defensive rebound off a missed VCU triple and Kendra Long hit a layup with 10.1 seconds left to give Georgia State a four-point lead at the break.
VCU caught fire to start the second stanza, hitting seven of eight from the field, and used a 20-3 run to take its largest lead at the time, 13 points, with 13:39 remaining. Hurt scored 11 during the run, including five straight to start the half.
"We came out and had a stretch there where our defensive pressure and intensity caused some turnovers," Cunningham said. "We were able to rebound and get some easy baskets in transition. That's probably the biggest difference [compared to the first half] and what got us going on the offensive end."
The Rams pushed their lead to 60-44 on a fast break layup from Hobson with 11:33 to go.
Trailing by 16 with 10:06 showing, Georgia State slowly chipped away and made it a nine-point game with 3:28 left.
Hurt nailed a turnaround jumper as the shot clock expired to push VCU's lead back to 71-59 with 2:23 showing, but the Panthers scored six straight to cut the deficit to six with less than a minute to go. Georgia State could only pull within five twice the rest of the way as VCU hit 4 of 6 from the line.
Chan Harris scored a team-high 13 points off the bench for Georgia State, while Miranda Smith added 12, and Long and Cody Paulk chipped in 10 apiece.
"We definitely needed to get this win," said Cunningham. "With the way this conference is, it doesn't get any easier. It's a constant battle and everyone is fighting for position. We need to find a way to get that first win at Towson [on Thursday] before we can look any farther down the road."
VCU travels to Towson on Feb. 2 for a 7 p.m. tipoff against the Tigers. The Rams then face #16 Delaware on the road Feb. 5.

As you and the people close to you get used to your body changes, you may begin to think about seeing other people. If you have visible changes to your appearance, you may worry about other people's reactions.
Occasionally, some people may make insensitive remarks or unwelcome suggestions. But you'll probably find most people take far less notice of you than you expected. Other people will soon respond to you as a person and not to your appearance.
Learning how to cope with social situations helps build up your confidence. This will help you slowly get back to your usual day-to-day activities. This can include returning to work or doing any hobbies or sports you did before.

Hey everyone, how are folks doing today on this awesome Saturday afternoon? I hope all is well because I have some great lessons going up today and I will start with another dragon, but this one is not my own. Instead, we will learn "how to draw Stormfly", step by step from How to Train Your Dragon. Some who follow the series should know who this dragon is. She is Camicazi's pet dragon, as well as a Mood Type dragon. Stormfly is able to speak the language of dragonese, as well as Norse. One of the things that folks like most about Stormfly is how playful and wondrous she is. Now even though Stormfly has all these good qualities, she is also known as being a hardcore liar. Yes, she lies a lot. Sometimes one thinks why Toothless loves Stromfly, but I guess we will never know. This lesson will show you how easy drawing Stormfly can be. I had a lot of fun turning this character into a step by step lesson, so enjoy and have fun!
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

My Facebook timeline just got swallowed up by everybody I know simultaneously liking or sharing an image of a non-existant magazine. This non-existant magazine.
That was shared by one Joseph Hill Whedon, or Joss to his screaming accolytes.
Now, somebody has mocked this thing up for a reason. Keep a close eye on the coffee tables of the SHIELD pilot, I say.
I followed the URL at the bottom left, and then scanned the QR code, which on my iPhone at least, opened up a note containing something fans of Firefly will recognise instantly…
UPDATE: The Facebook page is not genuine. I didn't click through before, I just took the image on face value. Silly me. Anyway, it was always "a fake," all that has changed is whether or not Whedon himself has "approved it" by passing it on.

I'm embarrassed to see how long, actually. July was the last time I posted…wow! Lots has happened, so I at least feel somewhat in justified in neglecting my blog for so long.
The Husband and I bought a new house. We are enjoying having more space and our own yard. Now, The Husband and The Father-in-Law are fixing up the old house with the hopes of putting it on the market. We'll see. Given the housing market in our area, my guess is that we'll be renting it out to some medical students or residents in June.
The D's medical problems have been an issue. We went up to the Children's Hospital in the nearby metro area on the 20th so he could have an endoscopy. We may have a diagnosis for him by Wednesday or so. They think he has eosinophilic esophagitis. I asked multiple times for a referral to a pediatric gastroenterologist and was always treated like I was an overprotective mother. Now, it seems he has been taking a medication (ie Prevacid) for 2 1/2 years that was likely doing little to nothing for his problems. Given his issues with asthma, it doesn't seem like it should have been a big leap to consider eosinophilic esophagitis.
So, I'm a little angry right now. His esophagus was kind of a mess. There was unexpected bleeding during his procedure due to the fact that his esophagus was so inflamed that just the scope touching it caused it to bleed. It has likely been this way for a long time.
So, we'll get confirmation of the diagnosis and then go from there.
Work has been fine…I need to post a few good quotes…I'll end with one that came from me today…
"You can be as mad as you want about there not being any open psych beds anywhere in the state, but you need to stop yelling at me."
Filed under: blogging | Tags: Happy Birthday!
I am hoping that The Trench Warrior is having a wonderful day today, the day of her birth!

|This week, the US Senate took up debate on proposed climate change legislation -- but the bill, the 'Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act'(S. 3036), failed to win the needed number of votes to avoid a filibuster and was pulled from the floor. The bill would have cut greenhouse gas emissions by two-thirds by the year 2050, largely by means of a cap-and-trade system. Amendments offered to the legislation would have increased funding for nuclear power, wind and solar, and funded research into carbon sequestration technology. President Bush had threatened to veto the legislation if it passes Congress, saying that it was likely to severely damage the economy and drive jobs overseas, while creating a massive new bureaucracy. In this segment, we'll talk about the bill, find out future prospects for climate change legislation -- and find out if any of the senators currently campaigning for President took a stand on pulled bill.

Nice work you made. Just please don't forget about the banners.
Just to correct you :
It is not VENI VICIDI VICI
It si VENI VIDI VICI
Which mean I came, I saw, I conquered
That is what Julius Caesar said after defeating the Pontic army .
When Pompey and the Senate fled Rome from Caesar in 49 BC, he did so without an army. As a result, he was forced to draw upon the eastern provinces and allied client states for recruits and supply. With garrisons and massive levies being shipped off to Greece to Pompey's camp, the east was left dangerously vulnerable.
Pharnaces II, king of Pontus, and son of the great Roman enemy Mithridates VI, used the Roman civil war to his advantage. He began a systematic process of re-taking those lands which once belonged to his father's kingdom, and Rome or its allies could do little to stop it.
When Caesar defeated Pompey at Pharsalus in 48 BC, he still had no opportunity to deal with the Pharnaces situation. The war in Alexandria delayed any immediate reaction and his subsequent affair occupied his attention for the seasonal winter months of 48 to 47 BC. Caesar's legate, Gnaeus Domitius Calvinus, was installed as governor of Asia in the interim and did all he could to stop the Pontic advances, but had little success. Calvinus gave battle and the Romans acquitted themselves well, but its allies were cut up badly. Caesar's trouble in Egypt prompted him to request aid from King Mithridates of Pergamum, further depleting the potential resistance to Pharnaces forcing Calvinus to make do.
In a fortunate turn of events, Pharnaces' appointed governor of Crimea revolted, allowing the Romans to recuperate in Asia Minor for the winter. Meanwhile, Caesar was victorious in Egypt, and the lull back in Asia gave him the opportunity to relax on the Nile with Cleopatra.
By the campaign season of 47 BC, Caesar left Egypt and began an overland march through the far eastern provinces. Heading towards the trouble with Pharnaces, Caesar traveled through Judaea and Syria, accepting apologies and granting pardons to those foreign kings and Roman governors who had supported Pompey. In so doing, he was also able to rebuild his war chest through the various tributes paid to him. Boarding ship in Syria Caesar next sailed to Tarsus in Cilicia where he called a meeting of the regional leaders. Securing loyalty once again and laying out his plan of action, Caesar continued the march north to Pontus.
Pharnaces meanwhile, well aware of Caesar's approach and his now notorious clemency, asked Caesar for a pardon of his own. Despite the fact that Pharnaces was the only eastern king who remained neutral in the Roman civil war (as all other in the east had declared for Pompey) Caesar rebutted that only Pharnaces attacked Roman citizens, plundering and killing as he took advantage of the situation.
Still, Caesar offered a peaceful solution, declaring that Pharnaces could be forgiven if he quit Pontus, released Roman prisoners, restored any financial damage done in the process, and of course, pay a hefty tribute. Pharnaces at first agreed, but it was no secret that Caesar had pressing matters both in Rome and against hold out Republican resistance elsewhere. Marcus Antonius, appointed by Caesar as his master of horse (Caesar had been appointed to the dictatorship while in Egypt), was sent back to Rome to oversee administration of the city and was not living up to the task. Pharnaces took advantage and sought to delay Caesar as long as possible, hoping he would decide other matters were more urgent, but Caesar had lost patience.
In May of 47 BC, Pharnaces camped his army on a hill near the town of Zela and Caesar on an opposite hill. The place had historical significance in that Pharnaces' father; Mithridates had defeated a Roman army 20 years earlier. Separated by a valley a few miles apart, the two armies began to position for battle. Caesar, with 4 legions first began to build fortifications, assuming that Pharnaces had no taste for open battle against him, but he soon found this to be wrong. On or about May 30th, Pharnaces moved his lines towards Caesar, attacking with scythed chariots, but the Romans held them back with their pila. The Pontic army engaged full force and hand to hand fighting erupted across the lines.
Despite their tenacity and the advantage of the initial advance, Pharnaces' forces were likely exhausted from the up hill fight. Before long, their lines began to break and it was only a matter of time before the entire army was sent into a rout. Pharnaces managed to escape with some cavalry but his entire army was slaughtered or captured in the overwhelming Roman victory. Caesar claimed that the entire affair, including the rounding up of fleeing prisoners took no more than 4 hours.
Caesar, not only erased the blemish of the earlier Roman loss on this very site, he erected a monument to commemorate just that event. He set about reorganizing parts of the eastern provinces and set up Mithridates of Pergamum as King of Pontus in recognition for his loyalty and service in Egypt. Caesar then crossed from Asia to Thracia, and set sail for Italy. In the meantime, in recognition of his overwhelming victory, he sent a simple, but powerful message back to Rome and the Senate: "VENI VIDI VICI", I came, I saw, I conquered.

Beyonce + Jay Z Fired Late Bodyguard Over Sexual Issues
Beyonce and Jay Z's former bodyguard Norman Oosterbroek was killed after being tasered (while naked) by cops. He had broken into a home in Miami on Sept. 2. Now, reports have surfaced that the couple fired him after they discovered his sexual peccadillos.
The 43-year-old Oosterbroek, known as "Giant Dutch," also worked for Lady Gaga and Rihanna, allegedly lost control of his life after losing his high-profile (and likely well-paying) job of looking after the Hova's family. That's a pretty big gig to cough up and if this story is to be believed, Oosterbroek had no one to blame but himself.
The Daily News reports that Oosterbroek reportedly hired a hooker while on duty in Las Vegas and Bey and Jay allegedly discovered him using their passports in a lewd act. Now that's creepy. We're not sure what to make of that…
This story about Oosterbroek's issues was discovered a while ago, yet never made its way to the media because the famous couple worked to bury it. A source said, "Beyoncé and Jay Z were furious when they found out. They trusted Norman with their lives and then he went and did some pretty freaky things, and on video with a hooker."
Ultimately, Jayonce were concerned over the safety of daughter Blue Ivy, so they gave the hulking mass of a man, who stood six-foot-five and tipped the scales at 280, the boot. An insider said, "They really thought Norman was now a danger to Blue Ivy. From what I understand he was devastated, because a lot of people in the industry knew that he couldn't be trusted and not to hire him."
After being axed, Giant Dutch became depressed and began using drugs. He had been in and out of rehab, and was seen swallowing a white substance during the break in which lead him to being tasered and killed.
What a shame.

Matt Clancy and Jason Bourque, both 25, are echoing the concerns raised by local officials, activists and police in Weymouth and throughout the South Shore that opiate addiction has claimed too many lives with no regard for victims' occupation, upbringing or lot in life.
Between them, Jason Bourque and Matt Clancy can rattle off the names of nearly a dozen members of their Weymouth High School graduating class of 422 students who are addicted to heroin.
Less than three weeks ago, Zach Bourque – Jason's twin brother and Clancy's childhood best friend – became the first person on that list to die of an overdose.
Now Clancy and Jason Bourque, both 25, are echoing the concerns raised by local officials, activists and police in Weymouth and throughout the South Shore that opiate addiction has claimed too many lives with no regard for victims' occupation, upbringing or lot in life.
"When you think of someone on heroin, you think of a guy in an abandoned warehouse with a needle in his arm," Bourque said. "You don't think of your brother or the kid you're playing video games with. It can affect anybody."
A Patriot Ledger review of overdose deaths in 2011 found that in 2009 and 2010, 99 people, or one person every eight days, fatally overdosed in Quincy, Weymouth and Braintree. In 10 smaller towns in the area, 31 people died of an overdose during the same two-year period.
Bourque, of Weymouth, and Clancy, who now lives in Quincy, say they first realized heroin existed in their hometown when Zach overdosed for the first time the summer when he was 19 and still living in his childhood home on Circuit Road. His family never learned how his addiction started, but they hoped that the experience, which left him in a coma for several days, would keep him clean.
After overcoming several relapses and motivated by wanting to spend more time with his 19-month-old daughter, Zach was doing well in a residential rehab program in Malden. He was set to graduate later this month to a new level in the program that would have allowed him more freedom to come and go.
But on March 9, his family got the call that he'd died of an overdose in a hotel room. He'd spent the night there with a high school classmate who is also an addict, Jason Bourque said. Zach had relapsed, an often deadly scenario for recovering addicts whose tolerance has diminished after a long stretch of sobriety.
"It was definitely out of the blue," said Clancy, who had lost touch with Zach after high school. "He was such a good kid. He was so friendly."
On Sunday, Clancy and Jason Bourque gathered about 50 friends at the Weymouth Elks hall to remember Zach as the kid who loved to skateboard and lift weights and who grew up to become a doting father. They also raised about $1,000 to help support his daughter, who now lives with her maternal grandmother.
The event was also an opportunity to raise awareness about the problem of heroin addiction in town, a goal they hope to continue.
Clancy and Bourque agree that the drug problem goes far beyond Weymouth, but both believe the town has been hit harder than many of its neighbors.
Clancy, who began working as an emergency medical technician in January, says it's only a matter of time before he's called to an overdose in town.
"Every time I go on a call in Weymouth, I think, 'I swear to God I'm going to get one and it's going to be someone I know,'" he said.
A report released by the Massachusetts Health Council last fall said that the Boston area, including the South Shore, had one of the worst drug problems of any region in the country. Data from the state Bureau of Substance Abuse Services show that heroin outpaced alcohol as the most common drug addiction for which Quincy, Weymouth and Abington residents sought treatment in state-sponsored programs in fiscal 2010.
The problem has become so acute that Quincy police began carrying the overdose-reversing drug naloxone in their cruisers in 2010. Weymouth firefighters began carrying the drug earlier this month.
Clancy and Bourque said they're not sure what it will take to start reversing the trend of heroin addiction and overdoses. But they said speaking up about it is a good first step.
"It's a poison plaguing the town," Jason Bourque said. "It would really be nice for people to know about the problem and hopefully do something before they get to this point in their lives."

In opulent late-nineteenth-century Brooklyn, clubs – both men's and women's – sprang to life by the dozen; the Hamilton, the Crescent, the Union League, the Unity, the Germania, the Brooklyn, the Carlton, among many others. Park Slope had begun to rival Brooklyn Heights as the borough's prime residential area. The 1890 Census Bureau reported that Park Slope had the highest per capita income in the country and its residents were the leaders of Brooklyn society.
And so it is not surprising that a group of 25 men met one day in 1888 in the home of Norton Q. Pope at 241 Park Place to form the Montauk Club. On March 11, 1889, the State of New York issued a Certificate of Incorporation. Within weeks, the new club had drawn some 300 subscribers, making it necessary to lease the brownstone at 34 Eighth Avenue temporarily while they awaited completion of their new clubhouse.
To build their new home one of New York's finest architects was chosen: Francis H. Kimball. Kimball had just completed the Corbin Building (still standing today on the corner of Broadway and John Street), and had earlier completed two exquisite churches, also still standing (Emmanuel Baptist Church, Lafayette Ave. and St. James Place, Brooklyn 1887, and Riverside Presbyterian Church, near Spuyten Dyvil, 1888) and was to go on to design the two huge buildings just north of Trinity Church in Manhattan, the Trinity and U.S. Realty Buildings on Broadway. Today, a century later, all of Kimball's buildings still call forth admiration from architectural critics.
Kimball was noted for his subtle interweaving of different traditional styles. The Montauk Club, however, is pure Venetian Gothic, a romantic style popularized by the English architectural critic, John Ruskin. Its inspiration was the Ca d'Oro on Venice's Grand Canal; the Quatrefoil (four-lobed) windows and pointed arches of the Club are taken directly from the Ca d'Oro.
Kimball was an early user of terra cotta ornamentation, the molded clay material that was just becoming fashionable. It is visible throughout the Club's exterior, forming the surrounds of the windows and enclosing the columns on the balconies. The Indian faces that compose the capitals of the columns are of terra cotta, as are the Club's two friezes: One, running around three sides of the building depicts scenes of the Montauk Indians; the other, above the main doorway on Eighth Avenue, shows the laying of the building's cornerstone.
The subtle coloration of the structure, from dark brown to tawny yellow, reflects the restricted range of materials used: brownstone, yellow-orange brick, ivory and amber terra cotta, red Spanish tiles for the roof.
Between the three lower stories and the two upper stories, Kimball inserted a balcony that ran around three sides. For structural reasons, this was later removed.
Kimball's plans were very specific in the uses they called for.
The Basement: Besides the bowling alley, which took up half of the space, there were toilets for both men and women, a coatroom just off the main staircase, and a café and buffet at the Plaza street end of the building. Members did not go hungry after a strenuous game. (Basement is now private office space.)
The First Story: Two flights of stairs from the street led to this floor. The small flight on the left, as one faced the building, led to the Ladies' entrance. A lady could enter the elevator here or, if she chose, ascend the ladies' staircase on that side of the building that led to the third story. The large flight lead to the Reception Room which found the same use in Kimball's day that it does today, but beyond it the long salon was designated as the Reading room; and beyond that, the Plaza Street room was called the Morning Room or Café. The room next to it was used for a buffet (now the kitchen). There was another coatroom – the present ladies' room.
The Second Story: Billiards, the game of the hour occupied the two main areas, both called Billiards rooms. There was no bar. The room off the present bar served as a Buffet. The small room to the right of the staircase was the Board room and the present Board room was then two rooms – both Card rooms, as was the room next to it.
The Third Story: The Dining Room of 1891 occupied the large area on the Plaza Street side of the building. The dining room was divided into three small dining rooms, separated for privacy by low partitions. The corner Eighth Avenue room was the Ladies Dining Room, reserved for ladies' dining alone. Next to it on Eighth Avenue was the Ladies Reception room. (Now private residences)
The Fourth Story: Besides the Kitchen, which occupied about a third of the floor space and surrounded the service stairs there were six apartments – rooms for members or guests. These ran along Lincoln Places side of the building. The Plaza Street end was taken up by a "Jolly Room" seemingly a large living room for the men occupying the apartments. The balcony supplied access to the outside for the Apartments and the Jolly Room. One large bathroom, with two tubs, two sinks and two W.C.s served the six apartments. (Now private residences)
The Attic floor: Part was unfinished, part served as Servants apartments and part contained the laundry. (Now private residences)
The building cost a total of $232,272 — $40,000 for the land, $162,686 for the building and $29,586 for the furnishings.
In 1996, the clubhouse was converted to condominiums with the membership retaining the parlor and second floors for club use. In 2019, the club will celebrate its 130th anniversary.

In many cases, uterine fibroids are followed and watched. This is particularly true for older women. If you choose to have treatment, your treatment options will depend on your symptoms and age.
One of the most common symptoms of uterine fibroids is increased menstrual bleeding. If a fibroid is causing the increased bleeding, your doctor may do a pelvic exam and order an ultrasound. In addition, your doctor may recommend dietary changes, like increasing iron , folate , and vitamin B12 , to help prevent anemia due to blood loss.

The origin of utility-sector energy efficiency programs traces back to the energy crises in the 1970s, when a new concept of "energy conservation" emerged to help customers cope with soaring energy prices. Over time, this led to the development of an expanded set of customer energy efficiency programs provided by electric and natural gas utilities. ACEEE was founded during this early period — in 1980.
Since then, energy efficiency has evolved to become recognized as an integral and highly valuable element of utility investments and operations. Utility energy efficiency programs have yielded significant energy and economic benefits to the utility system and to ratepayers. Energy efficiency programs have also led to job growth in many fields, including the building trades.
Utility energy efficiency programs have expanded fairly steadily over the years, despite a temporary period of decline during the utility deregulation in the 1990s. (One enduring effect of the deregulation phase, however, is that non-utility organizations now administer and provide ratepayer-funded customer energy efficiency programs in several states.)
Now, in the 21st century, energy efficiency is regarded as an important utility system resource that can also reduce greenhouse gases, save money for customers, and generate jobs. In response to both economic concerns and climate change, legislators and regulators have supported energy efficiency at unprecedented levels.
The industry is growing rapidly. In pursuit of higher savings goals, electricity and natural gas programs are expanding their efforts and seeking new sources of savings, including behavioral change. States that did not previously engage in efficiency programs are now taking advantage of this opportunity.
Throughout this evolution, ACEEE has played a leading role in research and policy development for utility energy efficiency. We hope to maintain and build upon that leadership role.

Robert Redford was going down with the ship.
Yes, the character he plays in writer-director J.C. Chandor's "All Is Lost," which arrives in theaters Friday, is a lone traveler on the Indian Ocean whose sailboat is taking on water from a gash in its hull. But this water emergency wasn't in Chandor's screenplay.
Filming in the same massive outdoor tank that James Cameron used to make "Titanic" in Baja California, Chandor was shooting Redford inside the cramped quarters of the 39-foot Virginia Jean. The sailboat was half-submerged, with the actor and a skeletal crew sloshing through waist-deep water aboard the vessel, the script supervisor hiding in the boat's tiny head.
Suddenly, an assistant director yelled: "Out of the boat! Out of the boat! Everybody, out of the boat!" The crew, toting its $500,000 digital camera, quickly climbed out. "But the assistant director doesn't say the boat is sinking," Redford recalled. "And then I thought, well, maybe I should get out, too."
The actor and his director scrambled out just a few seconds before the Virginia Jean scuttled in some 60 feet of water.
"Just to be clear, I was the last one off," Chandor, 39, said. "I really didn't want to be the guy who killed Robert Redford."
If making the rest of the movie wasn't always as dangerous, it certainly was arduous.
The physical production and its inherent corporal tests were just half the battle. Redford, 77, did more of his own stunts than he originally had intended. He said he permanently lost 60% of the hearing in one ear after high-pressure water was sprayed onto him to simulate a storm.
But far more challenging for Chandor was how to tell his story using only one actor and almost zero dialogue, without resorting to any of the tropes of the castaway genre.
From the story's inception, Chandor decided he would resist using voice-over, flashbacks or a random piece of sporting-equipment-as-sounding-board to illuminate his character's back story, thoughts or emotions. Instead, action would be everything. It would be a total turnabout from his previous film, 2011's "Margin Call," a dialogue-heavy Wall Street thriller with an ensemble cast.
Just as Redford's sailor has to patch the fissure in his listing boat, the audience would have to fill in all of the story's expositional holes.
Redford initially feared that chasm would leave him as an actor as adrift as his solitary seaman. The "All the President's Men" and "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" veteran would pepper Chandor with questions about his character, who doesn't even have a name. Who is he? Where is he from? Does he have a family? Why is he on this trip? But Chandor wasn't sharing.
"He never really answered. He talked all around it. So you have to do a lot of deciphering," Redford said. "And I realized that, well, if that's where he's going that's fine with me. So I stopped asking."
"All Is Lost" starts with a letter, just as Chandor's writing of the movie did.
"I'm sorry. I know that means little at this point, but I am. I tried. I think you would all agree that I tried. To be true, to be strong, to be kind, to love, to be right. But I wasn't."
Exactly what Our Man (as Redford's character is called in Chandor's screenplay) is apologizing for is unclear. But two thoughts come to mind. First, whatever has happened in his life probably served as a catalyst for his solo voyage. Second, even when faced with desperate circumstances that demand unvarnished candor, the sailor still can't quite say what he really feels.
"Even in his last note," Chandor said, "he was unable to communicate — he was blocked."
Chandor worked on that letter for weeks in 2010, revising the missive on train rides from Providence, R.I., into New York, where he was finishing "Margin Call." He wanted the language set before penning the rest of his short, 31-page script.
"I love survival movies, but I thought that you had to play the same narrative tricks," Chandor said, referring to techniques like voice-over and inanimate objects ("Cast Away"), flashbacks ("Touching the Void") or a video camera ("127 Hours"). "So it really became, can you really make a movie like this — which is just to show what you are doing to stay alive? If the guy isn't going to talk, how do you make it a swashbuckling adventure?"
That adventure begins as soon as the film does. Soon after Redford is heard reading his letter, the film cuts back to eight days earlier, when we hear the gentle lapping of water (the sound design, by Steve Boeddeker and Richard Hymns, is extraordinarily precise). For Our Man, the sound is ominous, signaling that there has been a breach in his sailboat.
In the middle of nowhere in the Indian Ocean, the Virginia Jean has collided with a massive steel cargo container — the kind you'd see on the back of a semi trailer or atop a train car — that apparently has washed off a freighter. The resulting cut at the boat's waterline has partially flooded the sailing vessel; critically, the seawater has fried the radio and navigation equipment.
Our Man quickly needs to begin repairs to make his craft seaworthy. He's close to shipping lanes, but without a radio, GPS or radar, he can't communicate and see what the forecast holds, including a storm thundering over the horizon. He tries to teach himself celestial navigation.
"He doesn't have a lot of time to reflect," Redford said. "It's completely in and of the moment."
As much as "All Is Lost" is focused on the mechanics of staying alive at sea — how can you get food and water when your stores are fouled and nearly gone?— the film ultimately becomes an existential story of a man combating not just nature but himself.
Surprisingly, Chandor didn't have a particular actor in mind when he was writing the film — and certainly not Redford. But that all changed at the Sundance Film Festival.
When Chandor took "Margin Call" to the Utah gathering in January 2011, he was invited to a filmmakers' brunch hosted by Redford, founder of the festival. Chandor was seated far back in a room where Redford was speaking, but the public address system wasn't functioning properly. Chandor could see that Redford was talking, but couldn't hear a thing he said. A technician then connected a speaker right next to Chandor, and the actor's distinctive voice came booming into the director's ears.
Chandor was immediately struck by an idea: What if you stripped a performer as well-known as Redford of something as integral to his acting as his voice? Too shy to ask Redford at Sundance about potential interest, Chandor waited until his brief script was completed. Just minutes into his first meeting with Chandor, Redford agreed to star in the film — startling the filmmaker with the speed of his decision.
Redford knew it would be a challenge: Unable to banter with other performers or slide by on his charisma and looks, the actor was forced to do things — acting on an almost elemental level — that he hadn't previously done. While Redford's character doesn't verbalize feelings like despair and hopelessness, he's clearly facing his own imminent mortality and knows that he may not have what it takes to get the job done.
"I think it had to do with trusting him," Redford said of accepting a part that relied on just doing, not saying. "Because before, whenever I would challenge myself about saying yes, it had to do with how much faith I had in that person — the director, the scriptwriter — to deliver the goods. And I had faith in J.C."
Chandor believes the journey of the character and the actor in the film's third act are eerily parallel. "He's forcing himself as an actor to do things he wasn't sure he could do," the director said. "He has admitted the physical sense — that he's going to push himself. Now, as an actor, he has to force himself to go deeper."
Initially, Redford and Chandor planned for a double to perform many of the film's more dangerous stunts, including being washed overboard and the Victoria Jean's capsizing. But once filming started, Redford volunteered to act in several action sequences that he and Chandor had assumed he would watch from the sidelines.
"It was my ego," Redford said. "My ego jumped in and said, 'Hey, you can do this. You can do this. Let's see if you can do this. Let's see if you can jump off the boat and dive into the… Do it!'
"I was wet all the time. They hit me with water when I was dry; to do another take I'd have to go get into dry clothes again. It was not fun."
Redford said he asked for (and Chandor granted him) several scenes where his character was doing nothing but thinking — not repairing or swimming or struggling. Redford, who grew up in Santa Monica, said during those moments he thought of his youth sitting on the beach, imagining the enormity and beauty of the ocean, and how insignificant man is in comparison.
"I don't know how this will play out in the public domain. I have no ideas," Redford said of his worries about how "All Is Lost" will be received by general moviegoers after playing at festivals in Cannes, Telluride and Toronto this year.
"To be appreciated in a festival is one thing. When you go into common ground, it could be another," he said. "I mean, who knows? I just liked doing it."

Mets get three-run homer from Ike Davis in win over Yankees
NEW YORK -- Ike Davis received a bit of help from the New York Yankees on his three-run homer and Frank Francisco closed out the Mets' 6-4 victory Friday night after calling their crosstown rivals "chickens."
Justin Turner had a two-run single and the Mets scored five runs in the first inning with two outs. Andy Pettitte looked flat after waiting out a rainstorm that set back the start of the season's second Subway Series by 53 minutes.
Davis followed Turner's hit with a fly to right that a leaping Nick Swisher got his glove on. But when he hit the wall, the ball was nudged off the top of the fence and over for a 5-0 lead.
Still, the homer-happy Yankees rallied with three late drives to set up a chance to see Francisco.
Alex Rodriguez hit his 641st homer and Andruw Jones also connected for the Yankees against Jonathon Niese. Robinson Cano added a two-run shot off Miguel Batista in the eighth to cut the lead to 6-4 after David Wright had an RBI single in the seventh.
Francisco made headlines in New York this week by saying "I can't wait to face those chickens" and expressing his desire to strike out the side against them.
He explained Friday afternoon what he meant by his strange comment, saying he thinks the Yankees often complain about umpires' calls.
In a heavy drizzle, Francisco made his first appearance against the Yankees for the Mets and -- you got it -- played chicken with a powerful lineup. Andres Torres made a stumbling catch in deep center field for the first out. The right-hander walked pinch-hitter Raul Ibanez before Derek Jeter singled. Francisco then struck out Curtis Granderson and got Mark Teixeira to pop out for his 18th save in 21 opportunities.
The Yankees lost their third in a row following a 10-game winning streak that began against the Mets. They had not lost three in a row since May 19-21.
The afternoon rain didn't deter a crowd of 40,191 from filling Citi Field. It did help alleviate the sizzling heat of the last few days that even inspired a Mets ticket offer. The Mets sold a limited number of choice seats for $94, the price of the temperature at the start of Wednesday night's game against Baltimore.
The Mets totaled seven runs when they were swept in three games in the Bronx in early June. In the finale at Yankee Stadium, Niese (5-3) carried a 3-0 lead into the seventh but he was betrayed by his defense and gave up two unearned runs.
This time, he gave up the two homers and eight hits in 6 1-3 innings to help the Mets win their seventh straight interleague game.
Pettitte (3-3) gave up five runs for the second time this season and for the first time in an inning since Sept. 4, 2001, against Toronto.
Torres walked in the first and Ronny Cedeno, activated from the disabled list before the game, singled. Wright hit into a fielder's choice and Lucas Duda flied out. But the Mets lead the majors in two-out runs (155), and they soon cashed in.
Turner hit a two-run single to center. Davis then hit his eighth homer of the year.
Batting just .162 entering the game on June 10, Davis didn't even start with Pettitte on the mound. But the left-handed hitter had a pinch-hit double that tied the score in the ninth that day and has played well enough recently to earn a place in manager Terry Collins' lineup Friday against the crafty lefty.
As has often been the case this season, the Yankees had trouble with runners on base. Leading the majors with 105 homers coming in but hitting only .218 with runners in scoring position, the Yankees put two on in the first and second and had a runner on in the third, fourth and seventh without scoring.
Rodriguez homered with one out in the sixth, his drive landing in the container that holds the big apple in straightaway center. Jones homered to left in the seventh. Cano hit a two-run shot in the eighth.
NOTES: Mets LHP Johan Santana was given the key to the city by Mayor Michael Bloomberg in honor of his no-hitter June 1, the first in franchise history. ... To make room for Cedeno, the Mets sent reliever Elvin Ramirez to Triple-A Buffalo. ... Rodriguez was thrilled for the Miami Heat, NBA champions. He said he understood what LeBron James had gone through. ... Michigan QB Denard Robinson was on the field before the game.

Woo, differences! They make the world go 'round! It takes all kinds! But then we come to Axl Jack Duhamel, and I become one of those people who calls for a scotch and a smoke and a cheese plate. Full Story
Forgiveness vows
They were married a year ago this past weekend and Josh Duhamel celebrated by surprising Fergie with a vow renewal ceremony on top of a bluff overlooking the ocean the other day. Apparently she was super emotional and blubbered through the whole thing and then they had dinner and flew back home. Full Story
No playoffs for the famous
Marc Anthony bought into the Miami Dolphins this season. He and his wife have made it a home game tradition to roll out some kind of carpet, and Fergie, also a co-owner, showed up yesterday with Josh Duhamel to round out the season…which was a losing one. So many famous faces. No appearance in the playoffs. Full Story
Best/Worst of 2009: Fergie Wedding Cheese
Maybe if you sell your wedding photos to a magazine you're just f-cking asking for it. In light of what happened after… well… enough said. Remember these pictures? The original article is here and the entire album is here Full Story
Fergie forgives
Fergives. Heh. Terrible, I know. Josh Duhamel allegedly cheated on her with a budget looking blonde while on location in Atlanta. He denies it and did not sue, just like Chris Martin. Please. In Hollywood however, appearances are more important. Much more important than fidelity. Or infidelity. So Fergie has either chosen not to believe the other woman's claims or she's decided to forgive him. Full Story
Kings & Peas & no one cares about Diddy
Victoria's Secret last night in New York. Rockers love models. So of course there was a Followill presence last night at the show as Jared and Caleb showed up on the carpet before taking their front row seats and then headed over to the New Moon afterparty. Jared's face is killing me in front of that dancing woman. Full Story
Nine girls
They're all in New York. Yes, even Miss Sophia in head to toe red. And Dame Judi Dench looking sharp in stripes. All of them in New York for the Nine junket, all of them gamely doing press in support of the film including one-on-one interviews for a long list of television outlets, print round tables, breakfast events…and more. Full Story
Sorry I f-cked your husband
Josh Duhamel allegedly cheated on Fergie with some stripper. Now the stripper is apologising. At first she was like, oh whatever, no one will find out or get hurt. But now her own son told her that she's "disgusting" so she feels bad. But she insists that it definitely happened even though Josh "can't just admit it. Full Story

Oscar Gonzales
Morongo Casino Resort & Spa
Cabazon, California
"Oscar Gonzales"
Great variety of slots & tables. Nice clean spacious rooms. The location is perfect,for me atleast. The only reason I gave Morongo 4? and not 5? is that while on the casino floor I couldn't get any drink service for the life of me, definitely needs to be addressed. Overall I had a good experience.

Was U.S. soccer's Nashville nightmare the product of a coddling system?
The answer to last night's Nashville nightmare may lie in the biography section of the United States Soccer Federation website.
There we see how many of the players, all of them highly skilled, have been coddled for most of their athletic lives. Several were born inside the six-yard box, with an empty net in front of them and a ball at their feet. Those who weren't born there were soon placed there by caring parents, and a U.S. Soccer establishment that begins catering to children by 14 or 15.
Hardscrabble? Hardly.
A couple are the children of university professors. One is Ghanian royalty. Several attended the prestigious IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. where they received "the same visual training exercises used by military pilots," according to the website.

When buying presents for other family members there are a few things you can do. Set a price limit for each person. We usually have a $10 limit. This limit is the same when birthdays come around as well. This is a reasonable amount for us, since we come from a pretty large family. We also do secret Santa with my hubby's family. This helps a ton! Each of the adults pick a name out of a hat and so do the kids. We set a $10 limit and then exchange presents at a family Christmas Eve brunch. This is such an amazing help to our family. Instead of spending say $150 on presents for my inlaws, we only spend $40. It also takes less stress off of the shopper. This year I am able to spend more time relaxing this Christmas, then figuring out what to by for my sweet family. I love them to pieces, but sometimes all that shopping and spending can wear a person out, and my checkbook.
Quality Not Quantity
This is the last tip we always try to follow. My children may not have a truck load of toys under the tree, but what they do have I know will last. It is very easy to see toys in catalogs and think what a great price. I am weary of this, since we have done this before and the toys have not lasted. My son is pretty hard on toys, so we always look for something that will last. It is not worth it to buy a lot of cheaply made items, just so you have a huge quantity under the tree. Buy items for your family that will last and stand up to the wear and tear that the item will under go. Be conscious of all purchases. Whether you are buying thrifted items or brand new items, think of each purchase as an investment. Make sure you get the most bang for your buck, where quality is concerned .
These are the tips and tricks we follow each year. It is just another part of our thrifty lifestyle. Christmas is a time for family togetherness. Enjoy this holiday season with your loved ones.
Merry Shopping Lovelies!

There are no shortage of nifty gizmos these days for tea drinkers on the move. Here's one with a rather pleasing design.

So you want to become Instagram Popular?
Here are 10 fun tips to help you become Instagram Famous. While there's no guarantee, and while some just follow a zillion others hoping for follow-backs (aka "ghost follower" Instagram profiles – not cool; I block 'em all) …posting interesting images and participating around the site will always be your best strategies.
Instagram Cheat, Instagram Popular Formula…
Can't be done! Sorry! That said, these tips should not only help you become Instafamous, but also improve your photography and enjoy ever more famous Instagram adventures no matter what. These are from my own experience in about a year of being on the site, rather than from an Instagram computer that magically controls the Explore Page. Like these tips? Share 'em on Twitter!
How to become popular on Instagram:
- Don't be afraid to get the shot; do it! The opportunity will not come back. Who cares if someone looks at you strangely? They'll get over it in about 2 seconds. Your image will last forever.
- Master a photo editing app. Get one or two apps you're intuitive with and practice using them for edits. It may take some experimenting, so plan to spend at least $20 in the app store. Hey, do you like pizza? Well for the cost of a decent pizza, you can get a bunch of cool apps to experiment with. Don't be a cheapo; make the investment.
- Enter challenges. They're an easy and fun way to see what others are doing and grow your skills.
- Pick a filter and stick with it for about 20 photos to make a strong impression. The effect is undeniable and eliminates complexity.
- Thank people religiously, leave comments, and be funny. Or, at least try to be funny. 😉
- Use a 3rd party site like Gramfeed. They're great for comment effectiveness, and much easier than typing every single letter on your tiny phone keyboard.
- Rock and roll all night and party every day. That's more a just general life lesson, but it should at the very least provide some good raw material. OK, real tip: consider an accessory lens for close-ups. I did this and am seeing the world in a new way, especially bugs.
- Hashtag the crap out of your photos. Look up keywords in other languages and make friends from around the world.
- Keep a bunch of hashtags handy in a note so you can copy and paste as appropriate. You might also use groups of tags for common subjects (vacation, flowers, retro, etc.). Tap around on some hashtags at the site and find the popular ones that appeal to you most.
- Process pics later. You might have a great photo-op in line at the TSA security check, but sometimes it's best just to get the pic and move on as fast as possible, then dive deeply into the editing afterward (like once you're on the plane).
Take really, really excellent photos! Get creative, encourage others, and have fun on the site!

Harry Segall:
A Preliminary Inventory of His Papers at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center
Scope and Contents
This collection of works by playwright, screenwriter, and TV scriptwriter Harry Segall spans his writing career from 1933-1959. Segall's plays, including Lost Horizons (1934), appeared on Broadway in the mid-1930s. In 1933, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer brought Segall to Hollywood as a contract writer. In 1936 he moved to RKO Radio Pictures where he wrote screenplays for films such as Outcasts of Poker Flat, based on a story by Bret Harte. During this time, Paramount Pictures and Universal Studios also produced his screenplays. In 1941 Segall won an Academy Award for best original story for the film Here Comes Mr. Jordan, starring Robert Montgomery, based on Segall's play Heaven Can Wait. A 1978 film version of Heaven Can Wait starred Warren Beatty. With the advent of television, Segall turned his writing talents to this medium, writing plots for TV series and "Playhouse 90."
The collection is arranged in three series: I. Works, II. Personal, and III. Works of Others. In the first series, Segall's works are arranged alphabetically in four subseries: Screenplays, Stage Plays, TV Scripts and Plot Ideas, and Script Outlines. Segall's works range in format from rough notes to final typescript copies. Segall wrote his handwritten scripts and revisions on scraps of paper, frequently using the verso of bank deposit forms. These were interspersed with larger pages of varying sizes to form paper clipped bundles. In some cases, works written for the stage became screenplays, with title changes occurring as the project evolved. Often several titles were considered for the same work. Dates have been recorded in the folder list when provided on the script. Some scripts were based on the works of others or were written in collaboration. In general, the script outlines are typescripts ranging from a few pages to forty pages in length. They are sometimes described as a comedy, farce, or satire but not identified as a screenplay, stage play, or TV series. A large amount of untitled holograph notes and typescript fragments exist. These remain in the original order as received.
The second series, Personal, contains photographs of Segall and his family. These photographs were not identified by name or place, except for one bearing the name Mrs. I. Siegell. Four scrapbooks, and associated fragments, contain newspaper clippings of Broadway and Hollywood projects with which Segall was involved. His personal life and activities are not reported in these books, with the exception of a newspaper announcement of his intention to marry Martha Salonen in 1934.
The last series, Works of Others, contains stories and scripts by David Dortort, Martha Salonen, Avery Segall, and Bela Tasek.
Several magazines received with the collection were transferred to the HRHRC book collection.
In general, the collection is in good condition with the exception of the scrapbooks which contain brittle pages and clippings. Some of Segall's paper choices for his notes included newsprint quality paper which is becoming brittle.

I appreciate your help, I can't tell you anything else.I've never had a problem finding a website. But if you type it that address, it's different. I believe I may have seen the word Forbidden.
That's not a valid web address. Can't have a comma in a URL and maybe you spelt it wrong. I have tried a few variations of the spelling and can't come up with a valid web site, just a few different "placeholders".

I had the same problem... but solved it for mine!!
try adding to end of your URL "/index.htm"
like this http://www.eawardcenter.com/rb/0001159327/1en_US/index.htm
hope this helps.

You need to enter the address in your web browser at the top of the page, not in a search engine like Google or Yahoo. Also, it is case sensitive. If part of the web address is capitalized you must capitalize it in the browser. You don't have to be at your place of work.

Customizing Script Dir on a Server Running Parallels Plesk Panel
Parallels Plesk Panelconfigures the httpd.include file for each domain for overall site security. As such, it enables the open_basedir directive for PHP, so that a script and/or site can only access files located in the /path/to/vhosts/domain.tld/httpdocs and /tmp directories.
Plesk Version 10.3 and earlier
To overcome this setting, the you need to create a vhost.conf file in your /path/to/vhosts/domain.tld/conf directory, and enter the following lines:
open_basedir "/home/httpd/vhosts/domainname.com/httpdocs:/tmp:/any/other/locations:/they/require"
Note: Replace domain.tld with your domain name as it was added in Plesk. Because Linux is case specific you will need to use the correct cases for the letters.
Once you create the file, enter the following command:
This updates the main httpd.include file to include the new vhost.conf file, and also gracefully restart the Web service, so the changes take effect.
Plesk Version 10.4 and later
- Log in to Parallels Plesk Panel as admin. For more information, see Log in to my server.
- If necessary, switch to Service Provider view. For more information, see Accessing Service Provider View in Plesk.
- Click Domains in the left side menu, and then click Open in Control Panel next to the domain name you want to manage.
- Click the Websites & Domains tab, at the top of the screen.
- Click the name of the domain that you need to edit.
- Click the PHP Settings tab.
- Scroll down until you see open_basedir, on the left of the screen, and then select Enter custom value.
- Add the needed directories to the current entries.
- Click OK.
Note: Plesk automatically restarts the Apache instance for your domain and reload the new settings. Test your site to make sure it is working the way you want it to and make additional changes as needed.
Note: The list of directories used to limit the files can be opened by PHP. If the file is outside the specified directories, PHP scripts will refuse to open it. To separate directories, use a colon (:) on Linux and a semicolon (;) on Windows. For example, on Linux: /dir/upload:/usr/tmp

Q: If I run my aeration all winter, do I need to do anything special?
Jay – Gretna, NE
A: Running your aeration system through the winter is an excellent idea. Aeration helps to break down leaves and debris that make their way into your pond or lake, making cleaning and maintenance easier come spring. The water movement creates a hole in the ice, which allows for gas exchange and keeps water open and available for visiting wildlife. Aeration also circulates the water column, infusing it with oxygen for your fish and plants.
We highly recommend running aeration all year long—except if you plan on doing winter activities on your pond, like figure skating, ice fishing or playing ice hockey. The constant friction created by the water movement weakens the ice that forms, and that could be downright dangerous.
So if you plan to run your aeration system through the winter, here are three winter tasks to add to your to-do list:
- Move your plates into shallower water. Following your aerator manual's recommendations, move the plates from the deepest areas of your pond to shallower areas. This will give your hibernating fish a warmer place to hunker down when the water temperatures get especially chilly. When the plates are closer to the surface, they will also help to keep a hole open in the ice.
- Check the aerator regularly throughout the winter. After a heavy snow or a storm, head out to the pond and inspect your aeration unit. Remove accumulated snow around it, particularly any that's blocking the air discharge vent. If you lost power during a storm, check your GFCI; you may have to reset it.
- Be smart and safe. When your aerator is on during the winter, the ice that forms can be thin and uneven, so make sure you keep safety equipment out by your pond. A Life Ring or life vest, rope, blankets and a first aid kit are critical items to have on hand that can save someone's life.
If you have more questions about running your aerator during the wintertime or need help with your system, contact one of our Pond Guys or Gals or post a comment on our blog page.
