Second Chance
It's a car-in-one. Or TWO!
They say you never get a second chance to make a first impression. But the cool thing about art is that you get as many chances as you want. Like, 75 feet of bright white paper chances. And if you don't nail that sleek body style in the crayon medium, you can flip this easel around and give it a go in chalk!
Now the only thing you have to worry about is some back-seat drawers looming over your shoulder, telling you to add a fender here, move a tailpipe over there. If that ever happens, just take advantage of this easel's convenient flat fold and move that sucker right out of there with the easy-carry handle. No one dictates your creativity. NO ONE.

21. 06. 2013 - The Czech Airlines Yerevan – Prague Service Has Been in Operation for 10 Years
Yerevan, 21 June 2013
Czech Airlines will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the start of scheduled air service between Yerevan and Prague tomorrow. In those ten years, Czech Airlines has carried over 300,000 passengers between the two capitals on nearly 2,000 return flights. At the beginning, the route was only operated twice a week, but in the 2013 summer season, Czech Airlines is offering the greatest-ever number of flights to Václav Havel Airport Prague. Newly, Yerevan is connected to Prague with daily flights, thanks to the introduction of new frequencies departing on Tuesdays and Sundays.
The first-ever flight between the two metropolises did take place at the beginning of the 1987 summer season, and flights between Yerevan and Prague were operated for a short period thereafter, but these were special flights in non-scheduled operation, such as those to Simferopol, Sochi, and Tbilisi. Actual scheduled flight service only started 16 years later, on Wednesday 11 June 2003, when a Czech Airlines Boeing 737-400 (OK-FGR) set out on its first flight to Yerevan at 9:20 p.m.
During the last 10 years, more than 300,000 passengers have travelled on Czech Airlines' Yerevan – Prague route. A half of those flew in the last three years, which documents the importance of the route and the gradual increase in demand for flights to the Czech Republic and onwards into Europe. To date, the airline has also carried more than 3.3 million kilograms of cargo and more than half a million kilograms of post on flights to and from Yerevan. Since the start of the service, Czech Airlines aircraft have taken off nearly 3,700 times heading to or from Yerevan, with the total number of kilometres flown exceeding 9 million.
This summer season, Czech Airlines offers daily connections to Prague. At the beginning of May, the airline added a sixth frequency, departing every Tuesday, and as of 10 June 2013, Czech Airlines added the seventh flight, on Sundays. Departures from Yerevan are at 4:30 a.m. local time, and after nearly four hours, the aircraft land at Václav Havel Airport Prague at 6:25 a.m. From Prague, they depart at 10:00 p.m., arriving in Yerevan at 3:40 in the morning. The flights are operated with the newest Airbus A319 and A320 aircraft.
Fights from Yerevan have ideal connections to Czech Airlines' main flight wave from Prague to Central and Eastern Europe. After a simple, fast, and uncomplicated transfer in Prague, passengers from Yerevan can continue onwards on Czech Airlines flights to Amsterdam, Berlin, Brussels, Budapest, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Milan, Nice, Paris, Warsaw, and other destinations. Transfers at Václav Havel Airport Prague have been made easier by new, modern transfer desks with a higher capacity, and clear navigational signs newly include, in addition to Czech and English, also Russian and Korean.

Citation: Shi, L., Harker-Ryan, H., Jones, E., Moore-Simas, T.A., Lichtenstein, A.H., Sun, Q., Hayman, L.L. 2013. Urinary isoflavone concentrations are inversely associated with lower cardiometabolic risk markers in pregnant U.S. women. Journal of Nutrition. 144(3):344-351. DOI:10.3945/JN.113.184069. Interpretive Summary: Some evidence suggests that compounds present in soybeans, commonly referred to as phytoestrogens, may have beneficial effects on risk factors for heart disease and blood glucose control in older women or those at high risk of heart disease. There is a lack of data for an effect of these components in soybeans (isoflavones) in pregnant women who have high hormone levels (estrogen) as well as high blood sugar and lipid levels. We analyzed data from 299 pregnant women who participated in a national survey of health and nutrition (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey [NHANES)]. Statistical analyses were used to determine whether there was an association between urinary isoflavonoids excretion, an indicator of consumption of foods containing soybeans, and heart disease risk factors. Comparing women in the highest versus lowest quartiles of estimated soybean intake we observed a significant negative relationship between urinary isoflavone excretion and fasting blood sugar and insulin concentrations, a measure of insulin sensitivity and triglyceride concentrations, but not with other plasma lipids (total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) concentrations. These data suggest there may be a benefit of consuming foods containing soybean for pregnant women.
Technical Abstract: Some evidence suggests that phytoestrogens such as soy-derived isoflavones may have beneficial effects on cardiovascular health and glycemic control. These data are mainly limited to postmenopausal women or individuals at elevated cardiometabolic risk. There is a lack of data for pregnant women who have elevated estrogen levels and physiologically altered glucose and lipid metabolism. We analyzed data from 299 pregnant women who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2001-2008 surveys. Multivariable linear regression analyses were used to examine the association between urinary concentrations of isoflavonoids and cardiometabolic risk markers, adjusted for body mass index (BMI), pregnancy trimester, total energy intake, dietary intake of protein, fiber, and cholesterol, and demographic and lifestyle factors. Cardiometabolic risk markers were log-transformed and geometric means were calculated by quartiles of urinary concentrations of isoflavonoids. Comparing women in the highest versus lowest quartiles of total isoflavone concentrations we observed a significant, inverse association between total urinary isoflavone concentrations and fasting glucose concentrations (79 versus 88 mg/dL, P for trend equals 0.0009); insulin concentrations (8.2 versus 12.8 µU/mL, P for trend equals 0.03), HOMA-IR (1.6 versus 2.8, P for trend equals 0.01), and triglyceride (TG) concentrations (156 versus 185 mg/dL, P for trend equals 0.02) but not for total, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations. The concentrations of individual isoflavonoids, daidzein, equol and O-desmethylangolensin (O-DMA), were inversely associated with some cardiometabolic risk markers, though no clear pattern emerged. These data suggest there may be a relationship between isoflavone intake and cardiometabolic risk markers in pregnant women.

This monument in downtown Chipley was erected by that Northwest Florida community to commemorate the role played by Col. W.D. Chipley in the founding and early growth of the city.
Col. Chipley is perhaps best remembered in Florida as a businessman and railroad promoter who finally achieved the dream of connecting Pensacola with the Atlantic Ocean by rail. His railroad brought to life numerous communities - including Chipley, Bonifay, Defuniak Springs, Crestview, etc. - and may well have been the greatest single economic boost that North Florida ever received.
Less well known in Florida, however, was the fact that Col. Chipley was an accomplished and controversial Civil War officer. Although he was born in Georgia, he was living in Kentucky in 1861 where he was teaching at Transylvania University. He cast his lot with the South and became an officer in the famed "Orphan Brigade" from Kentucky (so named because Union troops quickly occupied Kentucky and the Confederate soldiers from the commonwealth became, literally, soldiers without a state).
Fighting with the 9th Kentucky Infantry, Chipley was wounded at Shiloh and Chickamauga before being captured at the Battle of Peachtree Creek (Atlanta) in 1864. He spent the rest of the war at a Union prison camp in Illinois.
After the war, Col. Chipley was one of the few former Confederate officers put on trial by the U.S. Government. He was accused of having ordered his men to murder captured Union prisoners during the war. He was defended by former Confederate vice president Alexande Stephens and was acquitted in a jury trial.
In later years, a letter was discovered among his wife's possessions that revealed the U.S. Government had tried to drop its case against Chipley (after making public accusations against him) due to lack of evidence. The colonel, however, refused to allow the charges to be dropped and demanded the trial to clear his name.
The monument is located in downtown Chipley, Florida adjacent to the Chamber of Commerce information center. For more information on Chipley and Washington County, please visit www.exploresouthernhsitory.com/washingtoncounty. This section of the site is a work in progress, so check back often!

The New Album From Eric Paslay Is Out
The New Album From Eric Paslay Is Out
Eric Paslay debut album was released this week and of course the 30-year-old Texas native is a little excited. But he admits that he did not always have a goal of wanting to be a hit artist.
Paslay has to deal with a bit more than his country peers as he has Type 1 diabetes, and as a teenager he "was kinda flirting" with the idea that he might want to be a pediatric endocrinologist so that he could have a hand helping others who live with the disease. Somewhere along his journey, music found Eric as he went to college at Middle Tennessee State University in Nashville and studied the music business.
Eric is probably happy he chose music as he's already had great songwriting success writing "Barefoot Blue Jean Night" for Jake Owen, and "Even If It Breaks Your Hear" for the Eli Young Band to name two. Eric says his self titled debut album "taught me not to be afraid of me". Judging by his hit "Friday Night" which is featured on the album...don't look for Eric to be an endocrinologist any time soon.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'TiVo Premiere DVRs' started by drebbe, Aug 16, 2012.
Didn't the FCC say they could no longer do that???
Correct Then can not require that. My local company tried to pull that with me.. I contacted the FCC and now have a letter from the cable companies lawyer saying they screwed up
A year ago that's what they said. This Wednesday when my new TiVo arrives I'll see what they say. I'll report back
My understanding is the that main DVR chipset for all the Premieres comes from Broadcom, and it can handle 4 inputs from tuners.
The Premiere uses a pair of QAM digital cable hardware tuners and a pair of ATSC/NTSC OTA/NTSC analog cable hardware tuners connected to that chip and blends them together in software to make it act like two tuners which can each tune from any source. (I believe, if TiVo wanted to, they could, with a software change, allow you to record up to four things at once with a normal Premeire, but because of the limited hardware nature of the tuners 2 would have to be from cable and 2 from over-the-air/analog. What they can't do with software is make the ATSC tuner record from digital cable (QAM))
The Premiere 4 and Premier 4XL/Elite have four QAM tuners connected to that same DVR chipset but software exposes all four tuners.
If someone came out with cheap hardware that could tune from ATSC/NTSC/QAM then TiVo might well offer a quad tuner box that could record from any source. Or if Broadcom's next DVR chipset offered 6 or 8 tuner inputs then TiVo might expand their options that way.
From what I understand the JMFS appears to understand the Elite/XL4 drive, but since the Premieres can only support up to 2 TB in a single drive it's kind of pointless to use JMS because you can't actually upgrade it's stock drive.
But JMFS should work to upgrade a Premiere 4's drive with one up to 2 TB.
I will be trying this tomorrow and will report back my results.
Interesting. We currently have a Tivo HD with one Comcast M card. Can we transfer the M card to a new Tivo 4 ourselves, or does this require a truck roll?
Hey gang-
Our beloved TV HD is showing signs of nearing the end...like needing hourly reboots. Luckily I'm almost sold on a new Tivo 4...
Curious if our WD My DVR Expander (1TB) will work with a new Premiere or Tivo 4?
You have to at least call your cable company and get it re-paired with the new TiVo.
You definitely would lose all programming on it (and the original Tivo).
YMMV, but you should be able to move the CC to the new box yourself and, once you accomplish set-up of the new box, it should receive all your non-premium authorized channels without pairing. The card will have to be paired to the new box for premium channels and VOD or other interactive cable services. But, barring complications, re-pairing should not require more than a telephone call to Comcast (1-877-405-2298).
What's the age of the expander? If it fails, don't you lose *all* your recordings? If yes, and it's as old as your Tivo HD, I'd be wary.
Thanks everyone!
Lemme think...we bought the Expander to record tons of the 2000 Winter Olympics, so just over 2 1/2 years old.
Yes, you're correct in that if the external dies, it takes all your recordings. I guess I was mostly curious if the My DVR Expanders of that vintage work at all with Premieres or Tivo 4s.
But honestly, it might be worth paying for a truck roll. Especially if you're a first-timer. Cable cards can be flakey and a tech will usually have more than one card on hand, or can quickly get another card, if the initial card being installed is bad.
I couldn't disagree more on this statement. Truck rolls are rarely worth anything except more aggrevation. Just follow the directions included with TiVo, update the software via Guided Setup (without cards), take a look at the info on-line concerning installing cablecards and then call the activation phone number.
Yes. A truck roll should be a last resort.
While you're probably both correct. I've read plenty of horror stories about having to go back to the store multiple times to get a cable card that works correctly. Really sucks if you live a good distance away from the nearest location.
The same thing can happen with a truck roll. They end up having only one or two cable cards with them and have to make a return visit.
My local Time-Warner people found a way around that. They let me pick up the cableCard for self-install but said they don't keep Tuning Adapters in stock for pickup, they are all on the trucks and someone would drop one by. Of course, when the truck showed up they said it was their stock they'd signed for and couldn't release it unless they installed it, and charged me $35 for the pleasure. I'm still disputing that one.
I would also file a FCC complaint. http://www.fcc.gov/complaints.

Wow Grayson Perry's work is exciting. I took the family with me to enjoy the Grayson Perry exhibition at the MCA Sydney. I was dazzled by his work and his story. His huge tapestries are breathtaking, one of them is 15 meters long. It is so detailed and vibrant that it took my breath away, it made me want to run into my studio to work at creating my own tapestries. I also took away this pearl of wisdom as Perry says artist over think their work—he explains that he just has an idea and runs with it. I am so taking on that advice.
I started reminiscing of my love for tapestries. Two other works that I love that are The Lady and the Unicorn Tapestries which I visit whenever I go to Paris. They transport me in time and take me to a happy place and probably will inspire me in my work in my future.
I also love the Bayeux Tapestry it is remarkable in beauty also that is survived 9 centuries. It is 70 meters long. It is staggeringly beautiful. I've seen it twice.
I had my aha moment, reconnecting with my younger self that dreamed big. That had ample energy and no family taking up enormous amounts of time. I don't think I've ever been as excited by an artist as I am by Grayson Perry. I hope I live to be 100 so I can create all the creations in my head.
In particular this Grayson Perry tapestry gave me reason to smile, as it's a great social comment on how we live.

How low income neighborhoods change: Entry, exit, and enhancement
This paper examines whether the economic gains experienced by low-income neighborhoods in the 1990s followed patterns of classic gentrification (as frequently assumed) -- that is, through the in migration of higher income white, households, and out migration (or displacement) of the original lower income, usually minority residents, spurring racial transition in the process. Using the internal Census version of the American Housing Survey, we find no evidence of heightened displacement, even among the most vulnerable, original residents. While the entrance of higher income homeowners was an important source of income gains, so too was the selective exit of lower income homeowners. Original residents also experienced differential gains in income and reported greater increases in their satisfaction with their neighborhood than found in other low-income neighborhoods. Finally, gaining neighborhoods were able to avoid the losses of white households that non-gaining low income tracts experienced, and were thereby more racially stable rather than less.

Last year, a designer named Chris Harrison created software that was able to recognize different kinds of taps-fingernail, finger, knuckles. Building on that platform, Harrison has now evolved the UI and created a spin off product that has been dubbed FingerSense.
Though touchscreens were an innovation for all tech users, the basic one tap touch screens overlook the fact that fingers have many modes, such as flicking, rubbing, knocking, and grasping. Though the last half of that sentence sounded like an excerpt from 50 Shades of Grey, capping the ceiling of touch screens to simple one finger recognition is limiting the possibilities of the applications we can create, and handicapping the swiftness to which we they can be more effective.
FingerSense does require some extra hardware for it to be applicable to your smartphone or tablet, meaning you can't just download the app and evolve your phone immediately, but I'm excited to get my hands on this when it does go to production. Though there will surely be bugs or skeptical questions (can certain functionalities really be easier to replace than their current iterations?), you have to get it in your hands to at least have a chance to try, develop, and improve what we can do with technology going forward.

The first public television station in the United States, it is owned by and licensed to the University of Houston System. Along with NPR radio station KUHF, it forms Houston Public Media. KUHT maintains studio and office facilities are located in the Melcher Center for Public Broadcasting on the campus of the University of Houston, and its transmitter is located in unincorporated northeastern Fort Bend County (near Missouri City).
As the Beaumont–Port Arthur and Victoria markets do not have PBS member stations of their own, KUHT serves as a default station as it is available on cable and satellite providers in both markets.
Early history[edit]
The station was established by Dr. John C. Schwarzwalder, a professor in the Radio-Television Department at the University of Houston,[1] and first signed on the air on May 25, 1953 as the first station to broadcast under an educational non-profit license in the United States, and one of the earliest member stations of National Educational Television,[2] which eventually merged into PBS.[3] KUHT originally operated from the Ezekiel W. Cullen Building on the University of Houston campus. Its dedication ceremonies were broadcast on June 8 of that year. The station's initial cost was an investment of US$350,000, and had an annual operating budget of about US$110,000.[4] Originally licensed to both the University of Houston (UH) and the Houston Independent School District, UH became its sole licensee in 1959.
The station also offered the university's first televised college credit classes. Running 13 to 15 hours weekly, these telecasts accounted for 38 percent of the program schedule. Most courses aired at night so that students who worked during the day could watch them. By the mid-1960s, with about one-third of the station's programming devoted to educational programming, more than 100,000 semester hours had been taught on KUHT.[5]
In 1964, KUHT moved into new studio facilities located on Cullen Boulevard, which were previously occupied in order by The DuMont Television Network affiliate [KNUZ-TV] (channel 39), now operated by KIAH. When KNUZ-TV went dark, ABC affiliate KTRK-TV (channel 13) used the facility from KTRK's inception until it moved to Bissonnet Street. KUHT purchased a new transmitter that not only enabled the station to broadcast beyond Harris County into its surrounding areas, but also to begin broadcasting in color. Five years later, in 1969, the Association for Community Television was formed to fund KUHT.
PBS era[edit]
In 1970, the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), the successor network to National Educational Television, began service, combining televised educational lectures with popular programs such as Sesame Street, NOVA and Masterpiece Theatre that remain PBS staples to this day. The station is also noted in Houston for many technical firsts at the local level. In 1981, KUHT became Houston's first television station to provide closed captioning, and 10 years later, in 1991, it became the first station in Houston to offer Descriptive Video Service audio, and other services for the visually impaired as well as bilingual viewers via a secondary audio program feed.
In 1982, with assistance from KTRK and then-independent station KRIV (channel 26), KUHT began operating a new transmitter located near Missouri City – making it one of several television and radio stations that now broadcast from that location. KUHT was known on-air as "Houston Public Television" for many years before adopting the "HoustonPBS" moniker in the early 21st century. From 1993 into the early 2000s, KUHT's logo also did not include the number 8, but used a logo similar to the ones used by Detroit's WTVS and Seattle's KCTS-TV. These stations are members of LARK International, a public-television production company, which owns the sunburst-on-square logo; however, they are not related to each other. KUHT's current logo is based on the sunburst portion of that logo.
On August 21, 2000, KUHT moved to its current studios in the LeRoy and Lucile Melcher Center for Public Broadcasting on the campus of the University of Houston, where KUHT shares broadcast facilities with public radio station KUHF – both owned by and licensed to the University of Houston System – where the complex is located. The previous facility is now in use by the university's Texas Learning and Computation Center.
On March 3, 2014, KUHT, along with Houston Public Radio KUHF and Classical 91.7 KUHA (owned by the university at the time, now KSBJ-owned KXNG), were all rebranded into Houston Public Media. The network dropped the "HoustonPBS" name to assume the new name.
Film library[edit]
KUHT has almost 600 reels of film in its archives (some more than 50 years old), along with 5,000 videocasettes – some dating back more than 30 years. However, the archive material is in various states of deterioration, with some film already suffering from vinegar syndrome. In September 2010, the Texas State Library and Archives Commission granted the University of Houston $25,000 for film preservation; however, the funding is only enough to transfer 25 films to digital format, with films related to Texas taking top priority.[6]
Digital television[edit]
Digital channels[edit]
The station's digital channel is multiplexed:
|PSIP Short Name
|Main KUHT programming / PBS (Houston Public Media)
|PBS Kids (Houston Public Media Kids)
|World (TV channel) (debuts July 10, 2017)
|Houston Taping for the Blind (radio reading service; audio only)
|KUHF simulcast (NPR news; audio only)
|KUHF-HD2 simulcast (Classical music; audio only)
|KUHF-HD3 simulcast (XPoNential Radio; audio only)
Analog-to-digital conversion[edit]
KUHT's digital signal originally began broadcasting on VHF channel 9 on May 12, 2001. The station discontinued regular programming on its analog signal, over VHF channel 8, on June 12, 2009, as part of the federally mandated transition from analog to digital television.[8] The station's digital signal relocated from its pre-transition VHF channel 9 to channel 8 for post-transition operations.[9][10]
In 2009, KUHT filed with the FCC for construction permits to build low-powered digital transmitters in Beaumont (K24KQ, channel 24)[11] and Victoria (K29JI-D, channel 29),[12] in order to provide over-the-air PBS service to both cities. Those two construction permits have expired and KUHT has no plans to attempt the build-outs at this time (2015).

KUHT has produced the following original national productions for PBS:
- Cucina Sicilia (2003–2004) - West 175 Productions
- InnerVIEWS with Ernie Manouse

We are all aware about the wonders of Lightroom, for being one of the best and finest photo enhancement programs in the industry today. Last October, Adobe system has finally decided to release their latest upgrade of Lightroom; Lightroom 6.3.
With Lightroom 6.3, users will continue to enjoy Lightroom's unique feature. However, to make it more efficient, Adobe decided to enhance and improve some of their services:
- Panorama and HDR merge
- Facial recognition
- Import and export features
- Speed
I do believe that users, especially photographers will enjoy the newly improved Lightroom 6.3. Aside from helping them save a lot of time in editing, the program will also help them produce high quality images for their clients.
While other photo editing tools have their own unique features, Lightroom also offer several unique editing tools such as best lightroom presets, RAW and Jpeg compatibility and more. In addition, users can explore the HDR and panorama merge, slideshow creation and the advanced healing and spot tool.
Most photographers are also using third-party downloadable presets for their images. They look for more great and useful presets online like in Pinterest to get high-quality best Lightroom presets.
Adobe Lightroom 6.3 is faster, reliable and efficient than the previous version which gained a lot of negative feedback and complaints. The good thing about the company is that they know how to listen to the needs of their clients.

Mergers / acquisitions lawyers help businesses buy other companies, or merge with them to become a single company. For example, America Online and Time Warner merged in 2000 to form AOL Time Warner. There are many reasons companies merge–for example, corporate strategy and finance, economies of scale, increased revenue or market share, and cross-selling opportunities. Mergers and acquisitions attorneys understand business law, are often trained negotiators, and will be able to draft detailed agreements describing the new relationship.

My wife and I , our 2 boys, a buddy of mine and his wife and daughter are going to a showing of A Christmas Carol this weekend in Pittsburgh at the Benedum Center. After the show we plan to take the kids down to Market Square to see their Christmas display and grab dinner somewhere.
I'm pretty sure the Benedum has a no firearms policy and I don't want to cause a scene at the entrance if I'm carrying and they have metal detectors. I also don't relish the idea of not carrying while in downtown Pittsburgh or leaving my pistol in our vehicle while at the show and having to go back to retrieve it after.
The general area is okay in some places and not so okay in others. Not really sure what the best solution is and would like to hear others opinions. Thought about calling the Benedum and just asking what their policy is but I'm wondering if that would create more issues or not.

Most hydrangeas are essential garden plants as they flower for weeks and weeks and provide plenty of colour when not many other flowering shrubs are up to much. But the very mention of them makes me think of those awful pink or blue mopheads so beloved by people of a certain age.
One of the more interesting hydrangeas is Hydrangea serrata 'Bluebird', an elegant lacecap; it flowers for ages with leaves finally turning red in autumn.
But names can be deceiving, as the colour of hydrangea flowers is affected by the availability of aluminium ions in the soil and this is all to do with the pH. Acid soils will give you blue flowers and anything more than a pH of 5.5 will give you pink. But, if your soil is somewhere in the middle, you can manipulate things either way with a lime dressing to turn things pink or aluminium sulphate crystals for blue. This process has to be started in late winter and the additives watered in regularly until the buds begin to open. The best results could take a couple of years and you may think it easier to let nature take its course.
White-flowering varieties are thankfully unaffected by all this. Later this month, H. arborescens 'Annabelle' will produce large, pure-white flowers that will last for some time and, as they fade and bleach, continue to make a good contribution to the border into winter. The leaves are quite pretty and more delicate than the norm.
H. quercifolia 'Snow Queen' has large, white, upright flowerheads but the foliage is spectacular - shaped like large oak leaves, it turns a wonderful bronze in autumn.
H. aspera, which should be in flower in August, is more exotic-looking than most with clusters of mauve, fertile flowers surrounded by larger, pink-tinged, white flowers. They will reach nearly 3m in height and have a fairly open habit, exposing an attractive flaking bark. Dead flowers and any wayward growth can be removed in spring.
Hydrangeas do need moisture, something they demonstrate by drooping in the heat if they are planted in too-dry soil. Mulching helps, and working in lots of well-rotted compost when planting is important. If you have a dry soil, planting in a little shade is the best solution. Hydrangeas hate being moved, though, so relocating isn't really an option.

Citation: Suttle, J.C. 2009. Ethylene Is Not Involved in Hormone- and Bromoethane-Induced Dormancy Break in Russet Burbank Minitubers. American Journal of Potato Research. 86:278-285. doi:10.1007/s12230-009-9081-3. Interpretive Summary: For an indeterminate period of time following harvest, potatoes will not sprout and are physiologically dormant. Dormancy is gradually lost during postharvest storage and the resultant sprouting is detrimental to the nutritional and processing qualities of potatoes. Because of this, sprouting results in severe financial loss to producers. Currently sprouting is controlled through the use of synthetic sprout inhibitors. The research being conducted in this lab is directed towards 1.) identifying key physiological processes that naturally regulate tuber dormancy and, ultimately, 2.) modifying these processes genetically thereby eliminating the need for artificial sprout suppression. Many diverse physical and chemical treatments can prematurely terminate tuber dormancy and initiate sprout growth. Understanding the mechanism(s) through which these treatments act may shed light on the endogenous processes controlling dormancy release. In this study, the role of ethylene in the dormancy breaking actions of a variety of external agents was determined. It was demonstrated that, although all treatments increased the rate of ethylene production to some extent, ethylene appeared to play no role in the dormancy terminating actions of any of the agents examined. In addition, exogenous ethylene was found to have no effect on minituber dormancy under the conditions used. This research clarifies and corrects a widely held misconception regarding the efficacy of ethylene tuber dormancy release.
Technical Abstract: The involvement of ethylene in the dormancy breaking actions of cytokinins, GA, and BE was investigated using Russet Burbank minitubers. Injection of 10µg tuber-1 BA, CP, GA, NG, or ZEA or 24 hour exposure to BE effectively broke dormancy and stimulated sprout growth over a two-week period. Although ethylene production was slightly enhanced by all treatments, a significant increase in ethylene production was observed in minitubers treated with BE, CP, or NG. Pretreatment with the ethylene antagonists STS or MCP did not affect the dormancy breaking actions of any of the agents tested. Application of the ethylene synthesis inhibitor AVG to NG-treated minitubers, completely suppressed ethylene production but had no effect on dormancy break. Application of exogenous ethylene or stimulation of endogenous ethylene production by ACC treatment did not break minituber dormancy or stimulate sprout growth. Collectively, these results indicate that endogenous ethylene does not play a role in the dormancy breaking actions of cytokinins, GA, or BE.

"The delivery was a week sooner than orginally anticipated And with free shipping that was amazing. I loved these cards I used them for my baby shower invites and any one who has got a thank you so far has loved them"
"They look beautiful. I ordered thank you cards, but loved that I could change the caption to something more general and appropriate for my present."
"I made these cards to express my joy and gratitude for a special birthday gathering. The cards are easy to design and of great quality. Delivery was very fast also."
"This was a nice thank you card that matched my son's baptism invitation. It was a small card, but perfect to write a quick note and drop in the mail."
"Pictures turn out a little small but still very nice. One of the tiny prints designers reviewed this card for me and brightened up the pictures making it a lot better."

Velvet lapels. Dirty denim. Skinny ties and slicked back hair. Newsboy caps. Drop crotch, button fly pants. It's all classic (well, except for the last), and it's all amongst the menswear collection for Dolce & Gabbana Autumn / Fall 2010. It's also quite safe. Almost too safe. But look again and you'll see the evolution of the male silhouette. Yes, the slim cuts that defined the past decade for menswear abound, but then so too do far more relaxed cuts inspired by far earlier eras.
The newsboy cap made it to the Dolce & Gabbana catwalk, but it brought with it the cut of clothing true to the 1920s – 1930s era that popularised it.
Check out all the pictures after the jump.

The UK ITV's Tonight programme, Card Criminals Uncovered, conducted an investigation into credit card fraud in the UK in its programme which aired on 27 October 2008. Credit card fraud is estimated to have cost UK banks and consumers 300 million pounds so far this year.
The research team set up a false website, Gotcha Gadgets, selling hi-tech goods to track orders and credit card activity. The programme emphasized the truly international reach of credit card fraud. In one case, the goods were ordered in Ghana using a credit card registered in Venezuela, with goods being delivered to a UK address. Another woman had been duped by a man purportedly living in America whom she had met over a dating website into accepting goods bought using a stolen credit card, supposedly for an orphanage in Africa. The UK currently has an Electronic Crime Police Unit, but it operates only based out of London. The UK Government is taking new steps to address the issue of credit card fraud.

I can see this thread growing as people all start asking about out of stock items ... just as I am about to
I really wanted to order the Qhemet Biologics Amla & Olive Heavy Cream and Honeyush Tea today but they are both sadly out of stock. I don't suppose anyone knows the frequency of Qhemet re-stocking?
There are a couple of other things I want to order too, that are in stock, but as I live in the UK I don't really want to pay the expensive shipping twice and would rather order all at once. Any help is muchly appreciated

Rafi, otherwise known as "Bro lo el Cuñado," is the brother of the stunning Sofia, and stepbrother to Ruxin (Nick Kroll).
"That must be Carl's stepbrother, Peter," Gilbert decided, as he noted the boy's mean face and turn-up nose.
The stepbrother and James had not been on terms of effusive cordiality.
Fritz, too, came over from Pinneberg, and greeted his stepbrother in the artist's room before the concert began.
Your stepbrother, Mark Manning, enjoys the same advantages as yourself, does he not?
They had not been consulted about Lesbia's future, and were ready to find fault with her stepbrother's arrangement for her.
On the whole, he was sorry to meet his stepbrother just at this time.
In that year Sir Humphrey Gilbert, his stepbrother, prevailed upon him to join in a projected voyage.
I have a stepfather and stepbrother, neither of whom I like.
But at last he suddenly whirled his chair around, rasping on the floor, and faced his stepbrother.

PACT asked that the College subsidize a discount for staff/administrators that send their children to the Gambier Child Care Facility. We did not propose that the Head Start Program reduce their price, the quality of care or the quality of staff. PACT's suggestion is something quite a few employers and other colleges offer their staff/administrators in Ohio. Our primary goal is to make this a "benefit" that everyone has the opportunity to use for their families regardless of their position within the Kenyon community.
Many of the questions received by PACT are submitted to Sr. Staff members or Human Resources for response. The question and response are posted to the website once the response is received by a PACT representative. If there is a particular question being referred to in this question, please let us know and we will research it further. As far as the communications team, a formal written report is not submitted, but rather the group updates the members during the regular meeting.
The Communications Subcommittee included in their Annual Report a goal for next year would be to send out more PACT Facts.
A: One, I don't publish my correspondence with staff members, faculty, or students. Two, I responded very quickly to Alice. She wrote and thanked me for the quick response. Three, a part of my response to Alice was the commitment to come to the PACT luncheon, to address the questions raised in an open forum, which was publicly announced by PACT and which anyone who cared to was welcome to attend. In that public forum, I presented the issues and also took questions. Alice wrote to me after that meeting, saying that she felt I had addressed the questions she raised. I'm not sure how much more one could "publish" a response to a staff member's correspondence.
Answered by S. Georgia Nugent, President
A: Thanks for your question - it is a good one.
First, it's important to note that Public Affairs is not adding two salary lines, just one. We have repurposed, at the same cost, an existing position (computer programmer) to become one of the positions (videographer) that is currently being searched. I'm really happy to report that Rebecca Mazur, our previous computer programmer, has just accepted a position at Harvard.
A key responsibility of Public Affairs is marketing to produce revenue. Unlike many institutions, we do almost all our marketing in-house for admissions and for fundraising. It's less expensive, more responsive, and often of better quality. At another institution, you might have seen the investment in social media Kenyon is making being expensively outsourced to an agency.
So -- why are we making this investment in social media? Today, it is essential. Our prospective students and our young alumni, whom we want to begin on a lifetime of giving to Kenyon, have radically changed how they receive information and how they are willing to be contacted. Most young people have email addresses they are using with less frequency. They do not open mail, and, if they have graduated, they move at least several times before establishing a permanent address, so mail is often lost. Increasingly, they receive and interact with the world via mobile media -- through their phones, on YouTube, and, overwhelmingly, on Facebook.
At the same time, Kenyon's alumni constituency -- people our age -- still live in the world of mail. Our largest contributors and long-standing alumni population still write a check and mail it in. Similarly, parents -- an essential constituency in admissions marketing -- still read those Kenyon publications. So -- Kenyon must do well in both the print and electronic arenas.
So -- how do we respond? We hired a social media director, who can plan and implement programs that will reach prospective students and alumni donors with an immediate improvement to the bottom line. The position we repurposed -- an entry-level videographer -- will give the entire Kenyon campus, and these marketing efforts the potential we have never had, which is to add video content to our marketing and curriculum. This individual will also supervise students to give them increasing fluency in this important media. Ultimately, as the demand for video grows, Kenyon will save money by avoiding outsourcing.
The Board of Trustees felt so strongly that we were lacking in this area that they mandated the creation of a social media plan and budget, which we were happy to do, because we believe in it, too. They know in their own businesses that revenue is lost and won on this new platform, and they wanted Kenyon to remain competitive.

A. PACT Lunch Schedule:
Answered by the Co-Chairs of PACT
A: Thank you for the question. We certainly believe that our policy is family-friendly as it allows either the father or the mother to take advantage of paid parental leave for the birth or adoption of a child. If both parents work for the College, they can split the paid time, or as you noted, one of them may take the paid leave. This method of splitting the leave mirrors the unpaid FMLA leave policy (parental leave is also classified as and counted against available FMLA leave) excerpted here: "Eligible spouses and/or domestic partners employed by the College are jointly entitled to a combined total of twelve weeks of family leave for the birth or placement of a child...."
You may not be aware that many employers do not provide paid parental leave for the father including about half of our peers in higher education. We are pleased to be in a position to offer a generous paid parental leave to our employees.
Answered by: Jennifer Cabral - Director of Human Resources
A: The suggestion that "college experts" can do training for others is certainly true, but the question must be asked "at what cost?" Kenyon does not have staff dedicated to training. The computing staff are experts in their fields, not in pedagogy, so the work to develop an organized class, to create course materials, and to practice teaching techniques is not easy for them. One staff member reported to me that it takes ten hours to develop a good one hour course.
If you consider the wages of the expert, the cost to the college for those hours is more than $100. If you consider the work not done during those ten hours--the computers not repaired, the software not installed, etc.--then the cost to the college for that course is a lot more than $100. So, the external course, taught by people who do it every day, is really a bargain!
Practically speaking, computing courses that LBIS has offered in the past have had few takers, and very low enrollment. The demand for training is simply not there. So we focus our efforts on training for major new software only, such as the six-month long training sequence we developed for the transition to Google mail and calendars.
There are also many self-paced training materials available for free to anyone at Kenyon. I refer you to the Atomic Learning tutorial website:http://www.atomiclearning.com/highed/home. As an institution that strives to create life long learners, we can be an example to our students.

Pacers Trounce Heat To Win Eastern Conference Finals Opener
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Paul George scored 24 points, David West had 19, and the Indiana Pacers protected their home court with a 107-96 victory over the Miami Heat on Sunday to take a 1-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.
Indiana led wire-to-wire and never even gave the Heat a chance to tie the score after starting the game with a 5-0 lead.
Game 2 is Tuesday in Indiana. The home team has won all five meetings this season.
Dwyane Wade scored 27 points and LeBron James had 25 for the two-time defending NBA champions, who lost for only the second time in 10 playoff games.
Indiana extended the lead to 19 in the third quarter and Miami couldn't get closer than nine the rest of the way.

The BBC iPlayer Android app has been updated to match its iOS counterpart and bring downloadable content to the Google OS for the first time.
Despite the iOS iPlayer app having gained downloadable content options exactly one year and a day ago, until now the Android platform has been left out in the cold. The updated BBC iPlayer Android app will be released through the Google Play store today, September 5, while the Amazon App Store will add it "in the coming days."
Letting you download shows shown on the Beeb and store them for up to 30 days, the BBC iPlayer Android app will let you continue to make use of content for seven days after first viewing.
Set to be available for eleven Android powered smartphones and tablets, all of which run on version 4.0 – Ice Cream Sandwich – of Google's mobile OS, the BBC iPlayer Android app is available as a free download.
Acknowledging the tardy arrival of the download features to the Android iPlayer service, David Berlin, a Senior Product Manager at the BBC in charge of the iPlayer apps stated: "We appreciate the frustration the Android community has been experiencing in the time it has taken to deliver this desired feature, and I'm very pleased that we've now been able to deliver it."
He added: "We're launching this functionality today for a range of Android devices running Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) and Jelly Bean. This is because these devices are able to provide the appropriate level of protection for our programmes.
"Our figures show this will mean 70% of Android app users with compatible devices will be able to use this functionality from today – and over the coming months we will be extending this to include new Android devices as well as some older ones."
Despite being late to the party, Berlin has revealed that the updated BBC iPlayer Android app will add one feature still missing from the iOS version – background downloads.
He stated: "Due to the unique characteristics of the Android platform, we have also been able to bring you the ability to download programs while doing other things, which isn't currently possible on iOS devices - so no need to keep the screen awake."
The list of compatible Android devices is a familiar sight of the platform's more popular smartphones and tablets. The full collection of devices are:

Spousal Support or Alimony Lawyers
Locate a Local Family Lawyer
What Is Spousal Support or Alimony?
Spousal support (also know as alimony) represents regular payments made from one spouse to the other during a separation or after a divorce. The purpose is to recognize the recipient spouse's contribution to the marriage and to assist that spouse to achieve financial independence where possible.
What Are the Requirements for Alimony or Support?
Alimony is only granted to individuals who were actually and legally married. The rules regarding vary from state to state, and are often classified based on the length of marriage.
Short marriages
- The court assumes that you have kept the same ability to support yourself that you had before marriage.
- Each spouse is expected to be substantially independent and self-supporting within a short period of time.
Long marriages (generally over 5 years)
For long marriages, extended or even lifetime support may be ordered. The court takes into consideration a variety of factors such as:
- Each spouses assumed earning capacity
- The property and debts received by each spouse
- The physical and mental health of the receiving spouse
- Any disparity in earning capacity between the spouses
- Duration of marriage
- Other income
- Contribution to career or education
- Contribution as a homemaker
What Are the Different Types of Alimony or Spousal Support?
There are several arrangements of support. Each arrangement is based on the varying circumstances and needs of the individual.
- Rehabilitative alimony - Fixed alimony paid for a specific period of time. This award is usually modifiable for upgrades in education or new work skills.
- Lump sum support - Some states allow a spouse to pay the total alimony obligation at the time of divorce. This amount is usually equal to the total amount of future monthly payments. A possible drawback of such an arrangement is that there may be significant tax consequences, so make sure you research all of your options with a professional.
- Permanent alimony - Support Payments for an indefinite period of time. Although there is no fixed date when support ends, it should not be expected that payment will be for life. In order to alter such an arrangement, you must petition the court for a change.
Can Support be Modified or Terminated?
Yes. There are different ways in which alimony can be modified or terminated (more information in the article Terminating Alimony).
Events that end payment obligations are:
- The death of either spouse
- The spouse receiving alimony gets remarried
Events that may end or modify payment obligations are:
- Paying spouse is either retired or terminated from work
- Substantial increase in the income of the spouse receiving alimony
- Spouse receiving spouse lives with another person romantically (cohabitation) - each court treats this situation differently. Some courts immediately terminate support, while others look at whether there is a financial advantage and if the co-habitation looks like a marriage
Record Keeping
Always keep accurate and detailed records if you receive or make any payments and make sure you keep these records for at least 3 years. Doing so will allow you to protect your interests should there ever be a dispute.
Calculating Child Support
In many states there are defined guidelines or equations that determine the amount of child support that should be paid based on the incomes of the parents or custodial adults and the number of children supported - each of these factors is used to determine the amount of child support payments that should be paid. The guidelines differ from state to state, but the determination methodology is generally the same is cover in this article Child Support Amount Calculations. LegalMatch also has many state-specific articles, including:
- Calculating Child Support in California
- Calculating Child Support in Florida
- Calculating Child Support in Illinois
- Calculating Child Support in New York
- Calculating Child Support in Texas
Do I Need an Attorney?
Whenever support arrangements are at issue, you should consult a family law attorney. The proper attorney will not only inform you of your rights, but also preserve any possible legal remedies that you may have.

Thanks for the tip but I did spritz my hair with a good amount of water while I still had the conditioner in my hair. The TT couldn't even detangle my roots it didn't even reach my scalp my hair is super thick combined with being dense the TT didn't have a chance. I will stick to the wide tooth combs but I'm happy is working out for you.Before you give up I think you should play around with what's in your hair when you dentangle. I found mine worked best when I had a good amount of conditioner and oil. Also if you just finished a long dc, your hair probably as wet anymore. Some people use it on dry hair but I didn't like that so much.I finally tried the tangle teezer. It has a small booklet and as you read through it you begin to think perhaps this brush is truly a miracle brush. So I decided to detangle after I dc for 45 minutes with a mixture of alter ego carrot hair mask and shea moisture african black soap conditioner.
I have super thick,low porosity grazing hip length hair(shrinkage is not a laughing matter) so I had my reservations since the denman brush was a complete disaster. I seperated my hair in sections and started detangling my ends first. It seemed okay in the beginning but eventually I noticed it was snagging my hair I began getting flashbacks of the denman. I had a more then larger amount of hair on the TT that I'm not used to. I was horrified. I had to use a wide tooth comb eventually it just didn't work out for me. The bristles are softer than the denman but not good enough to detangle my hair I will continue using my wide tooth combs.
Someone asked earlier I'm not sure who, about the difference between the TT and a shampoo brush. From my observation the bristles on the TT are randomly spaced out from short to tall it is not just one size throught the device. Also the mechanism that holds the bristles in place on the TT is thick while the SB is thin. HTH

Today, Giorgetti S.p.A. is recognised both on a national and international level. Strong in the knowledge that it has lived through crucial historical moments, Giorgetti continues to grow thanks to the awareness that innovation is rooted in experience and in the ongoing projection in the direction of research. This allows the company to continually evolve, asserting a style and character all its own which translates into an exclusive and timeless product. The last years see the birth of products that especially fit executive offices, exclusive solutions and contract projects.
At the end of the eighties came the true turning point which gave Giorgetti the personality and character to make it a well-known player on the world stage. The company decided to have important people, professional architects, city planners and intellectuals work with the already expert collaborators of the inside R&D department. These people had never thought of designing furniture and they explored new solutions, giving Giorgetti a unique and immediately identifiable style. Among others we mention Massimo Scolari, Lèon Krier and Chi Wing Lo.
The Progetti collection (Giorgetti R&D center) is a series of armchairs and sofas born from the idea of Carlo Giorgetti who took the cue from an elegant handle of an antique walking stick, to give life to the particular armrest that distinguishes it. The arm is in the precious Brazilian essence, the Pau ferro, with a characteristic reddish colour, a non-deforming wood that is rare and almost as precious as ebony. Progetti has been on the market for over two decades and will be on the scene for a long time to come: thanks to its elegance and the sophistication of its forms and materials, it is immune to the passing of time and has become a company icon.
In this period Giorgetti strengthened its presence in Europe by opening branches in Germany and Holland. From the first years of the eighties, despite a consolidated reality and a capillary distribution in Italy and abroad, Giorgetti confronted design and the Matrix brand was born, whose products were designed by Paolo and Adriano Suman, Massimo Morozzi and Anna Castelli Ferrieri. This line of furniture was immediately characterized by highly innovative graphics which showed a willingness to face innovation with freedom, fleeing from trends and fashion.
The Gallery collection was offered as an alternative to the current production, going back to the models of the early 1900s but transferring past ideas into modern lines. The products are a testimony of Giorgetti's capacity to shape solid wood; the end result is a series of pieces which are skilfully interlocked, without using any adhesive substances.
The Gazebo collection evokes a crucial moment for the company which, in these years, started an important industrialization process and product innovation. The success of these chairs, armchairs and small armchairs was due to the particular wood carving with a bamboo effect and brought to light the need for Giorgetti to implement the use of a special utensil machine, designed by the same technicians of the company, which allows an entire line to be produced.
In the early Sixties finished products began to be exported. The first real modern Giorgetti collections, Gazebo and Gallery, with a unique style, appeared starting from the seventies. Giorgetti was in these years a consolidated company with a capillary distribution, both domestically and internationally.
For the entire post-war period Giorgetti continued to re-elaborate and produce classical models, always maintaining the quality of the product. This experience and the great artisan ability deriving from this were a launching pad for the company's introduction into a more modern and European panorama.
The company distinguished itself right away for its international spirit, devoted to the exploration of foreign cultures. In the 20's, Giorgetti was in the American market as an importer of semi-finished carved products with style proposals that salvage different eras. This American activity was the main reason for conceiving and perfecting standard production systems in order to preserve the peculiarity of the carving.
In Brianza, from a cabinet-making activity fundamentally aimed at local use, in this period it was aimed at a more prestigious customer relating to the Monastery of Benedictine nuns in Meda and the noble Milanese families whose daughters were boarded there. Following the expropriation of religious possessions, which brought about investments even abroad, exchange channels were opened which not only increased the circulation of local manufactured goods, but also brought to the region new ideas and models for reproduction.
The first products that Giorgetti produced were carved semi-finished living room furniture, chairs and tables.
In 1898, at the end of the XIX century, Luigi Giorgetti founded his company Giorgetti S.p.A. in Meda, in the heart of Brianza. Starting from a little shop with about 8 workers, in 1898 the first factory was built with about forty employees in charge of the production of furniture in classical style, finely carved.

Foresters Battle Tree-Killing Pests in New Jersey
After a nearly decade-long battle, state foresters in New Jersey say they've nearly eradicated one of the state's tree-killing insects: the Asian longhorned beetle.
New Jersey agriculture officials have been battling an infestation by the Asian longhorned beetle since 2002, and it is believed the invasive species made its way to area in untreated packing crates and wooden palettes used to ship goods from China. Scientists will begin the last painstaking survey next month, going tree by tree to make sure they don't spot any of the pests.
"If the final surveys turn up negative, we expect within a year and a half to be able to declare it completely eradicated ... and that's a huge, huge win for the forests of New Jersey," said Carl Schulze, director of the Plant Industry Division within the New Jersey Department of Agriculture.
Infestations have also been discovered in parts of New York City.
Schulze said workers had to cut down about 22,000 infested trees in New Jersey forests and residents' backyards over a four-year period. He said no new infested trees have been discovered in New Jersey since 2006.
Foresters cannot declare the pest officially eradicated until the final survey is complete.
State officials are still working to eradicate other pests including the gypsy moth, the Emerald Ash Borer and the Southern pine beetle. Last year, the southern pine beetle destroyed 14,000 acres of South Jersey forests.
Since pest infestations flourish in the summer, Schulze said vacationers can play a role in helping to protect forests.
"If you're camping or if you're going to a cabin, buy your firewood locally so that you're not bringing new pests into the area that you enjoy," Schulze said.
In addition to cutting down infested trees, state foresters have worked to introduce predators for tree-killing pests. Foresters have replanted thousands of trees to replace infested ones.
