Hey everyone,
Well June is here already and I can't believe it, summer is just around the corner now. This month I will be posting a lot of holiday themed blog posts, but if there is anything other you would like, just comment down below.
So this post is my very first 'empties'. If you are unfamiliar with these posts/ videos, this is where I show you some products I have used up and my final thoughts on them!
To start I have a candle. I really loved this candle when I first purchased it, as it smelt gorgeous- in a vanilla scent. After using it several times, I have found that the scent isn't strong enough for my as it doesn't linger
after I have stopped burning it. I purchased this candle for £4.99 at a Homesense store.
The next product is a shampoo and conditioner I have used all of this month. It is from 'Herbal Essences' and is the 'beautiful ends' formula. This shampoo/conditioner is meant to target split ends and is for 'mid to long hair'. I had mixed thoughts with this product. I thought it did have an effect on my hair, especially in the first few uses, but after a while I found my hair to often be a little too straw-like. I have dry and often frizzy hair, and this shampoo didn't really help. Another point is that the products are meant to smell of raspberry, but the scent was barely there. Buy theme here: http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=266326743 , each for £3.79.
Next is a hairspray. I don't use hairspray very often, so I normally buy cheaper/ drugstore hairsprays that last my months. This hairspray was the basic 'Tesco, Everyday Value- Hair spray'. This is an average hairspray. It holds well, but isn't good for long-lasting use. I also found my hair went dry and sticky and hard with this. I can't knock it for the price really though, costing me only 37p. Buy it here: http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=255934247
Next is the 'Soap & Glory, Righteous Butter'. This is a really lovely body butter made with shea butter and aloe vera. I really loved this, because unlike the Body Shop Body Butters, this is a less solid butter and I find it easier to use. It's got a clean fresh scent and is great to message into your skin. This butter has lasted me ages as well, so for the price is lasts months. You can buy it here: http://www.soapandglory.com/the-righteous-body-butter for £10.50, although it is cheaper in other stores or online.

Windows 8 introduces a new way of looking at the traditional computer and for most, this list of keyboard shortcuts may come in handy.
When at the Desktop, hitting F3 or Windows+F will let you search for a file.
Windows+Tab now enables you to switch between metro apps instead of the fancy 3D program switcher that was in Windows Vista and Windows 7.
Alt+Tab now allows you to switch between ANY windows – Metro or classic in one interface.
Ever needed to take a screenshot? Well before you have Print Screen which would copy a full screen shot to the clipboard for use somewhere. Windows 7 introduced Snipping tool which was very handy specific screenshots. Now there is Windows+Print Screen which inherits the function of Print Screen but will save a JPG file to your Pictures folder. It can also take captures of Metro apps which snipping tool cannot.
Windows+Q searches your apps.
Windows+W searches your settings.
Windows+E opens My Computer
Windows+R opens he Run dialog
Windows+T displays the preview of each classical app in the taskbar.
Windows+U opens the accessibility center.
Windows+I opens the settings popup on the right hand side.
Windows+P opens the Second Screen dialog.
Windows+H is for Sharing.
Windows+K opens the devices center which only displays the option for second screen.
Windows+L locks your PC.
Windows+X opens a menu at the bottom left corner which gives you some administrative options.
Windows+C opens the new right hand settings bar that you would need to hover to the bottom right side to get and focuses on the Start button.
There will likely be many more short cut keys in Windows 8 that are new or inherited from previous versions of Windows. Have fun exploring them and feel free to comment with your discoveries below.

Forces of Nature's Hemorrhoids No More - Product Review
Hemorrhoids No More is a topical liquid formula containing certified organic essential oils for the treatment of hemorrhoids. It includes wildcrafted and organically farmed pelargonium (geranium), cupressus sempervirens (cypress) and niaouli. Hemorrhoids No More is available in the original organic formula and extra strength formula. Hemorrhoids No More Extra Strength also contains geraniols and terpene oxides.
Geranium oil and cypress oil can help heal and repair skin wounds and stop bleeding. Cypress oil, extracted from the Mediterranean evergreen tree, also has astringent and vasoconstrictor properties. This effect allows it to gently contract blood vessels and reduce swelling. Niaouli oil acts as an analgesic and reduces pain. It also heals and repairs skin wounds. Geraniol is a natural antioxidant extracted from rose oil and geranium oil. Terpene oxides, extracted from various essential oils, have antimicrobial properties.
A clinical study found that hemorrhoids were reduced or eliminated within one to five days when treated with Hemorrhoids No More. Treatment prevented hemorrhoid recurrences. Furthermore, Hemorrhoids No More was found to be hygienic and aesthetically pleasant.
Hemorrhoids No More contains certified organic essential oils. It is available in the original organic formula and extra strength formula.

Traditional braces are not the only solution to crooked teeth. Over the years, dentists have introduced several ways to improve one's smile without the need to wear unattractive wires and brackets. Wearing invisible braces is one of them.
Other than improving self-esteem, what else can invisible braces offer to patients? Read on to find out.
A Solution to Various Dental Issues
As an alternative to conventional wires and brackets, invisible clear braces can treat overbites or over-jets, fix crowded or widely spaced teeth, and align crooked teeth.
Who Can Wear Them?
Dental practices recommend this solution to adults, as it requires discipline and cooperation; patients must wear the braces for 20 to 22 hours a day in a span of 12 to 14 months. This, of course, depends on the complexity of the case. Individuals with remaining baby teeth cannot wear invisible braces.
Types of Invisible Braces
Invisible braces come in three types: ceramic or clear braces, inside braces and clear aligners. Invisible clear braces are similar to traditional braces except that they use transparent ligatures. This type of braces is invisible from afar and is removable.
Inside braces, on the other hand, are attached to the back of the teeth so they are hidden. Also, known as lingual braces, these dental appliances are custom-made and are more expensive than conventional brackets.
Clear aligners (a popular brand is Invisalign) are removable and customisable. The treatment takes two to three years and may provide discomfort after placement.
Cost of Treatment
Invisible braces are more expensive than traditional braces because of their aesthetic and function. Treatment cost ranges from $2,500 to $8,000 depending on the case and the dental practice. Despite the higher cost, many patients choose invisible braces due to the convenience they provide. These can likewise boost a person's self-esteem.
Work with an experienced and reliable dental practice when choosing invisible braces. Determine the costs, treatment period, and the results you can expect.

I posted a tutorial about how to enable SSH with password-less authentication in ubuntu. In this tutorial, I will show you how to also configure PuTTY in a Windows environment to use SSH Key based logins.
We will need to download PuTTY and PuTTYgen from here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html. Or just download the installer which will install both for you.
At this point, logging in to my server, prompts me for a password
Lets go ahead and launch PuTTYgen and click on Generate
To generate a random key, PuTTYgen will ask you to move your mouse around. As you move your mouse, you will see the progress bar filling up, sometimes twice.
Once done, you will get a random public key. Enter anything in the Key comment field and leave Key passphrase blank. Click on Save public key and save the key somewhere safe. Normally in the Documents folder. Also, notice that by default the public key file has no extension.
Now click on Save private key and save the private key in the same location. The private key must have .ppk file extension.
Back to PuTTYgen, right click anywhere on the public key generated and click on Select All then Copy
Log on to your Linux host, if you have not already done so and type
vi ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
This may create a new file for you if you are doing this for the first time. Or it may open an existing file with other public keys stored in it. In this case, it created a new blank file for us. Paste your public key there, save and exit.
Note: if your authorized_keys file already has other public keys, just add your public key at the end of the file.
Now, we just need to configure PuTTY to use or new generated private key when logging on to that specific Linux host.
Launch PuTTY and enter your Linux host's IP address or Host Name under Session.
Under Connection -> Data, enter your username in the Auto-login username field
Under Connection -> SSH -> Auth, Click Broswe… and find your private key then click Open
Go back to Session, enter any name in the Saved Sessions field and click Save
Thats it! Try logging on to the server again. If everything worked out right, you should not be prompted for a password and should be logged in immediately using your private SSH key.

Wonders of the WigWam
Friday morning brought us on the first flight of fisherman on the lake. This time we got house Number 36, about 50 yards north of yesterday's house. The same game, we started fishing by 7:30 and immediately started catching saugers. Our strategy was a little different this day, keep the nicer fish right away as we needed 12 to fill our limit. About 9:30 Mark decided to put a whole minnow on his lure, dropped it to 26 feet when a huge red mark on the depth finder came up to meet his lure. One gulp and the fish was hooked. Not understanding what exactly Mark had at the end of the line, it was obviously a large fish. The first thing Mark asked if I would remove his 2nd line and the depth finder from the hole he was fishing in. This was a good move, something I soon discovered would have been a good idea if I would have done the same. Almost immediately the fish came up to the top. Because the water is stained, it's visibility is about 3 feet. At about the 5 minute mark I caught a quick glimpse of the bottom part of the tail and announce to Mark that the 10# walleye on his bucket list was at the end of his line. The fish went back to the bottom and essentially had it's way with everything including my 2 lines that were still down. As I watched Mark trying to reel in the fish with his 3 foot St. Croix Ice rod and reel loaded with 6# Crystal Fireline the drag keep going. At one point I began to doubt whether Mark knew what he was doing as he reeled against a drag that was clicking as though the pressure nut was loose. Little did I understand as this was starting to get ridiculous, I wanted to get back fishing! 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, almost 40 minutes had pasted before the tangled mess of my line appeared above the hole. Carefully cutting the lines, I freed Mark's line of the tangles, just in time to see this monster fish swim past the hole. Sturgeon!!! Another 5 minutes Mark had it's head in the hole as I grabbed it and pulled and pulled and pulled it through. 51 inches and an estimated 50+ pounds, Mark had successfully landed the biggest fish of his life. It was pretty amazing as I got to witness the capture of this beautiful prehistoric beast. Although not on his bucket list it quickly was added and immediately crossed off! As for me, here is a picture of my super sized tullibee, proof I actually can catch fish as well. And Mark, it took all of my posturing to get him to head up with me and it turned out to be one of those lifetime memories for both of us. By 7:00 we were heading south, a take out container of our fillets deep fried for the way home, and somewhat exhausted. We are already talking about next year.
As a parting note I was really impressed with our time at the Wigwam Resort. We were treated like as though we had been coming up for years. It probably helped to drop my friend Keith Holtan's name as he grew up with the owner, but something tells me that was just a bonus. Both Mark and I will definitely be back. You can check out their weekly fishing video at IDO Lake of the Woods Fishing Forum as it's pretty good. Make sure to have them fry your fish at night, it's great and only costs $5.00. Fishing was reasonable at $100 per person you got a ride out to a huge heated house, bait for the day (rods, reels, and lures if you need), a ride back at night, and your fish cleaned, packed and frozen. Quite a deal if you ask me. Mille Lacs is still exhibiting issues but the south side seems stable. The weather is still warmer than normal and there was no snow between Minneapolis and the Canadian Border, very unusual. It's only a matter of time before the big freeze moves in. Jeff King made it to Mexico and next week is our time to spend with Keith at the St. Paul Sportsman show sharing a Guinness at the Liffy. Fishing should definitely get back to normal this weekend, whatever that is.

Thank you so much for packing up the truck and heading up to Lake of the Woods with your buddy this past weekend. It was truly our pleasure meeting you both, and we look forward to seeing your bright faces and exuberant attitudes back at the Wigwam Resort again in the very near future.
Happy Fishing as always and God Bless.

My neighbor used my stairs yesterday to put his tip ups out on Wissota. He had a 45 minute battle with a sturgeon. Had it up 4 times but never landed it. If Mark was excited as my neighbor it would have been great to see.

That sounds like a great trip. I love ice fishing. My son and I have been taking trips up to our ice shack every other weekend since Christmas since he bought me one of these 1500 Watt Heater. It heats up the place so nice we don't even need heavy coats inside and makes the trip even more relaxing. It's been great to spend so much time fishing and spending time with my son. It reminds me of the trips we would take when he was just a kid and its been the best gift I could imagine.

Girls' state track meet at EIU
It was a bittersweet day for Sarah Christopher. Though competing at the highest level of her sport — the state finals meet — the Pontiac senior did not advance beyond Friday's preliminaries.
It wasn't due to lack of effort. In fact, she did the best she could — and has ever have done. In the 400-meter dash, Christopher beat her all-time best time with a mark of 59.78 seconds. She didn't make the finals, but Christopher went down swinging by setting a career PR.
"When you go to state, you want to run the best you've ever run, and she did," PTHS head coach Mike Lucas said of Christopher in the 400. "She went from 59.85 to a 59.78. If you can't be happy when you drop time, then you're looking at it the wrong way.
"She did a great job. I was thrilled for her to have a lifetime best in the 400."
The 400 meters, which is Christopher's signature event in track, had a loaded field. There were 14 runners who came in under the 1-minute mark. Of those, five did not advance.
The fastest 400 time was from Jayla Campbell of Rich Central, who won the heat Christopher ran in.
Christopher's first effort of the day was the 100-meter dash, where she clocked a 13.7-second sprint. It served as a warmup.
Christopher's swan song was the 4x400 relay. Pontiac's time of 4:11.18 was virtually the same as at sectional (4:11.16). Christopher finished strong as the Indians were fifth in their heat.
The 4x400 might have been Christopher's finish, but it was the beginning of something new for Megan Leigh, Tristina Einhaus and Franchesca Smith.
"It's crazy, it's everything I ever wanted," Christopher said of competing. "I'm glad these ladies were able to run next to me during the 4x4."
For Leigh, who ran the third leg, she gained experience at the state level and was able to see what senior leadership looks like with the example Christopher set.
Einhaus ran the first leg and kept the Indians in the hunt. Smith took the baton and did what she could after getting held up a bit on her takeoff. Leigh also had trouble with a crowded field at the exchange.
"We had a couple of goals coming down and we were wanting to drop time," Lucas said. "Tristina had a fantastic leadoff leg. When you have two freshmen going first, you're putting a lot of trust in them and they did a nice job. They ran well and they're going to learn from it."
As for Einhaus and Smith, these speedy freshmen found out that the high school state meet is not the same as the junior high version.
"Junior high is definitely not as hard. It was competitive, but coming up to high school and getting to state is a big change," Einhaus said. "Going from eighth grade to high school, you have to take it more serious."
That's where the biggest factor in Pontiac's experience at state came in. Christopher, who had been the big blue oval before, went about her business as a senior should.
"We deserved to be here, we did earn it," Christopher said. "We worked hard trying to get here and we got here and were able to prove ourselves. It's just an overall great experience.
"I hope they get the same experiences I did, knowing what they can do when they work hard. They'll be able to come back here."
Leigh, Einhaus and Smith will be looking to make a return next year. For Leigh, she was aware of the meaning of simply competing on this stage.
"I hope they can learn from us and learn that they can be leaders, themselves," she said.
For the freshmen, the talent is there for them to make a return trip in multiple events, like their mentor Christopher.
"It's really exciting to get up here our first year and getting that support from the senior," Einhaus said. "It's sad to see Sarah go, but gave up the motivation and told us that we can do it. We believe we can come back here next year."
"I think that in high school, there's a lot more competition," Smith added. "(We learned) to work hard and that hard work pays off.
"I would love to come back and triple jump, but I would just love to come back."

This post comes to us, not from the usual source, namely my own expeditions of internet spelunking, but rather from an altogether more novel source- a friend of mine by the name of Mr. H. Most of you will remember Aitch fondly from his revered and only recently shuttered blog Giornale Nuovo. Well, it so happens that Aitch came across some images which he felt needed to be shared with the populace at large. He went ahead and crafted a post, leaving it here on The Nonist's doorstep like a beautiful and cooing orphaned baby. Who am I, and indeed who are you, to do anything but embrace it lovingly?
So, without further interuption from me, here is Mr. H's post on journalist Miyatake Gaikotsu and his collection of humorous and often obscure early 20th century postcards-
In 1907, the Osaka-based journalist Miyatake Gaikotsu began publishing The World of Illustrated Postcards (Ehagaki Sekai) as a colour supplement to his monthly Humorous Journal (Kokkei Shinbun). This supplement took the form of a printed sheet of card, folded into an eight-page booklet, containing thirty postcards. Each card bore a colour design and a caption. In some cases the humour was straightforwardly coarse, in others, confusingly obscure: many readers are supposed to have complained of images they were unable to understand accompanied by captions that seemed to cast no light on them.
Gaikotsu was born Miyatake Kameshiro in Kagawa prefecture in 1867. His assumed surname means skeleton or skull. He launched his first satirical magazine at the age of 20. An article parodying the Emperor earned him, in 1889, a fine and the first of four prison sentences. Undeterred, Gaikotsu started the Kokkei Shinbun in 1901. It was a popular success, but his lampoons of police chiefs, dishonest businessmen and corrupt journalists attracted numerous fines and threats: at length, Gaikotsu voluntarily shut the paper down in 1909, ending it with a 'Suicide Issue.'
I scanned these images from the current issue of FMR magazine, in which, in an essay about Gaikotsu and his postcards, Enrico Sturani writes: "Of those who created [the postcards], only one was known as an artist; the others were chosen from among the contributors to the Humorous Journal, possibly from among the printers, or among the public itself. But it was Miyatake who set the tone, either by choosing the sketches to be published, or by inviting a couple of the most prolific draughtsmen to accompany him to the baths to discuss new subjects, and ways of representing them."
Besides commissioning postcards, Gaikotsu also collected them: he compiled more than two hundred albums of cards, many of them grouped thematically. There are, for example, albums devoted to women's hairstyles, to illustrations of fruit, of clouds, and 'curious things.' There are albums of specially handmade postcards, of foreign postcards, of commemorative postcards. Even in the privacy of his collection, there is evidence of Gaikotsu's satirical temperament in one album's title: 'Military Men - those who have destroyed Japan.'
Thanks Aitch!
About all I can add to that is to say searches for more info on Gaikotsu, in English at least, don't turn up much info. One thing I noticed, however, is that he does get mentioned in quite a few papers and articles dealing with Japanese sexuality at the turn of the last century. This seems to be for a couple of reasons-
For one he was a journalist with a decidedly mischievous bent and relayed many stories of daily life in the late Mejii and early Taisho periods which, because of their intention to amuse, reveal details which would otherwise likely go unreported.
The second reason are the postcards themselves.
Quote: "During the 1910's, japanese porno-kitch was at it's zenith. the artist and satirist Gaikotsu (Skeleton) Miyakatake filled his famous Kokkei Shinbun (Comic Newspaper) with a wealth of sexual innuendo… There were phallo-vuvlar symbols and all kinds of hints at sexual pastimes and phenomena- the most daring probably being the maid with with the japanese flag wrapped around her waist and carrying a sign saying "Today we are closed for a holiday". The hint at monthly indisposition was suggested by having the red sun placed directly over her genital area. It can hardly have endeared Miyatake to the authorities; it pointed to a certain dissent in attitude, if not fact." -Fran Lioyd, Consuming Bodies: Sex and Contemporary Japanese Art.
Lastly I offer the following paltry bit of linkage for those wanting to explore further-
Postcard Guide Japan on Kokkei Shimbun postcards
MFA Boston's Art of the Japanese Postcard which ostensibly has a large collection of works from Kokkei Shimbun, but whose images seem not to be loading.
Itami City Musum of Art [Japanese] which is evidently having a Gaikotsu show later this month, and the Kawasaki City Museum [Japanese] which had one fairly recently.
The Japanese wikipedia page for Gaikotsu
This odd Video
Amazon.jp offers at least 4 "pocketbook edition" collections of Gaikotsu's work that I've been able to identify, though they are, of course, in Japanese.
From both Aitch and I-
Hope you enjoyed.

Bloomberg's new London office will open for biz journalists in early 2018
When Bloomberg's editorial staff moves into its new London headquarters early next year, hundreds of journalists will be working in the world's most sustainable office building.
The building achieved an 'Outstanding' rating against the BREEAM sustainability assessment method, with a 98.5 percent score. This is the highest design-stage score ever achieved by any major office development.
A company spokesman said that its 400-plus journalists will start working in the building in January 2018. The building "officially" opens on Oct. 24.
Compared to a typical office building, the new Bloomberg building's environmental strategies deliver a 73 percent saving in water consumption and a 35 percent saving in energy consumption and associated CO₂ emissions. Innovative power, lighting, water and ventilation systems account for the majority of energy savings.
For example, smart CO₂ sensing controls allow air to be distributed according to the approximate number of people occupying each zone of the building at any given time. The ability to adjust airflow in response to occupancy hours and patterns is expected to save 600-750 megahertz per hour of power per annum, reducing CO₂ emissions by approximately 300 metric tons each year.
Located between the Bank of England and St Paul's Cathedral, the new European headquarters occupies 3.2 acres and will provide approximately 1.1 million square feet of office and retail space.

Garden Odds
I started these Indian Blanket flowers (Gaillardia pulchella) from a seed packet this spring, and most of them came out just like what I expected. Here is the odd I found on one of the plants: The flower looks like two or three flowers connected together. You can tell this from the flower head on the left, that is not fully opened yet.
Here is one plant coming from the same seed packet, and is what I considered as "normal".
The other odd I found is on this yellow ground orchid (Spathoglottis). Can you see a green seed pod hanging from the left bottom flower spike? I did not see any other seed pods from my other ground orchids spreaded in the garden. I was quite excited when I first saw the seed pod since that could mean I can propagate more orchids. However, after I read further more, it seems not an easy task since the orchid seeds require some special fungus to germinate which might only be possible in a lab environment. My best bet could be sowing the seeds directly on the base of the mother plant since the mother plant might have those needed fungus for the seedling. I will try this way once the seeds mature. If I ever succeed, I will give an update later.
Speaking of the ground orchids, the ones located in the partial shade area are still blooming strong, new spikes are still rising up. The ones in the more sunny area are not performing as well, maybe those areas are also not receiving enough water. I think the ground orchids love partial shad and moistured location. I so love these ground orchids. Once established, they are care free. Their long soft foliage add the texture and green lush into the flower bed, and the flowers last for months. I have three colors for now, yellow, light pink, and deep pink. I just saw another lovely color of the ground orchid in a local nursery recently. Hmm, should I bring one more home? Just feel a little guilty since recently I have been plant shopping a lot, and I still have more on my list waiting...
Here is another plant I am in love with... "Angelonia angustifolia ". The original small plant in the five inch pot has been thriving into a nice mound in the side partial shade flower bed. This white one together with the Cats' Whiskers on the background, and the yellow ground orchid create a lovely scene under the moon light.
This is the purple version of Angelonia angustifolia . I am thinking to plant more in another more sunny location. Not sure if they will do as well as they do in this partial shade area. Even it usually is marked as "full sun" plant, but I found out in South Florida, even the sun loving plants do better in an area that at least get some protection from the intensive afternoon sun.
Here is the side garden these two Angelonia angustifolia are located. If you still remember my post about opening this new flower bed back in August, you can tell how fast the plants could grow in Florida!
The small tree located in the middle of this side bed is another Angel's Trumpet's(Brugmansia) from my friend at work. It only had two branches when I planted it in the ground, now it grows so big, and is already producing the 12 inch long pink trumpet flowers!
To end this post, let me include another combination that I am admiring these days. This plant stand is in the front patio area. The philodendron 'moonlight', the blooming Dendrobiums orchid, and the rod iron wall decor are looking nicely together, and made me smile every time I open the front door.

your garden is looking lovely. I specially love that yellow ground orchid. My ground orchids send out new bulbs from the roots - maybe yours will too.
Wow, that's a weird gaillardia bloom! Kinda cool, though. I've never had a ground orchid set seed, but the cold knocks them back in my garden, so that may be why. Like AA said, mine clump nicely and can be divided.ReplyDelete
Beautiful angel trumpets! I'm with you on that full-sun thing. It's just so brutal to the plants.
Your side garden has really filled in. It's looking good! Especially love the angel trumpet; that is going to be a real show stopper when it is blooming. I'm so envious of your ground orchids. Mine haven't bloomed this year. They did grow back after the frost but no bloom spikes are on them. I'm keeping them though, hoping they will be like yours NEXT year. It's nice that you have all those different colors of the ground orchids. I really do like your planter grouping in the front patio area with that beautiful orchid. I'm glad to hear your parents have been able to share in the joy of your gardening.ReplyDelete
Love the weirdness that happens in the gardens sometimes. Nice Orchids. I am in North Florida and have the white and purple Angelonia in all day sun...they have done quite well and tend to grow wider with more sun...ReplyDelete
I love your lovely flowering plants, even the weird bloom of the gaillardia. I think I need to water my ground orchids more, as I've not had any blooms this year.ReplyDelete
Your gardens are always a treat to see, and I'm glad your parents had nice weather to enjoy walking around in them too.
Your plants with the iron artwork on your entry wall are lovely, and definitely something to make you smile when coming home from work.
Happy Gardening ~ FlowerLady
africanaussie: Yes, my other grounds are multiply itself quite nicely. Just thought trying the seeds will be cool :)ReplyDelete
FG: Yes, that weird gaillardia looks cool, I am not complaining :) My yellow orchid doesn't clump as much as other ground orchids, but I think I might be able to divide them as well.ReplyDelete
NanaK: If we can have a mild winter this year, I am sure your ground orchids will take off next year. I will protect mine if any cold weather is expected. I might even dig them out if I have to.ReplyDelete
Darla: Thanks letting me know Angelonia does well in full sun as well. I just bought three of them today, one white and two pinks! They will be in my sunny flower bed.ReplyDelete
Flowerlady: Yes, I do find ground orchids like the soil has a little bit more moisture. My ground orchids located in a sunny area, and far away from the water hose received less water than others, and not blooming as prolific as others.ReplyDelete
I cannot stop admiring your ground orchids, they are so lovely and beautiful.ReplyDelete
Ami, I bet the creeping phlox would do great in your gardens if you offered it some afternoon shade.ReplyDelete

Five thoughts on Arsenal's form
Theo Walcott's importance to this team misses the point...
Anybody who knows me or who has read this blog knows that I am far from a Theo Walcott fanboy. Yet even I, in the giddy aftermath of the North London Derby was moved to declare that he had improved a great deal.
This is true. He is playing at a consistently higher level than ever before. He has also hit a purple patch of form and been particularly good for the past couple of months. Even so, it only takes those of us with a memory longer than eight weeks to remember just how appalling he was in his substitute appearance vs Chelsea.
But the truth is he's been good. The issue is he's been no more than that; his importance to the team is more an indictment on our general attacking play. So sure, give him a new contract - but that shouldn't be mutually exclusive with serious attacking reinforcements. And if it is a choice of one or the other, I would choose the new signings; even in his purple patch, Theo has continued to be a flat-track bully with his poorer performances coming against the better teams we've faced.
There's a legitimate case for Arsène Wenger to go…
But unfortunately, it's being made by the wrong people. And in the wrong way.
That Arsenal did not win anything between 2005 and 2011 is of very little bearing to me. I did not believe Arsene Wenger should go then because the team was competitive. So banging a drum about how we've won nothing for seven years and therefore he should go is absurd.
At the beginning of 2007/08, we went on a 22 game unbeaten run. We were a win at Old Trafford away from winning the Premier League and a couple of very dodgy decisions away from a winnable Champions League semi-final against a Chelsea side managed by Avram Grant. That team wasn't rubbish; that team didn't merit the sack.
Even as recently as April 2011, it's worth questioning what happens if Eboue doesn't bundle Lucas over in the 101st minute? Would we have gone on to win the title? Probably not, but maybe. So I don't accept the idea that Wenger's failings are long-term.
The current team is pretty bad. Since Clichy, Fabregas, Nasri and latterly Van Persie left, we are quite clearly a much weaker team. I'm inclined to agree with the manager that third was about as well as the team could hope to have done last season - but I'm also quite happy to hold him responsible for that. He signed the players; the poverty of the squad is largely his fault. I think he's slightly unlikely that the current generation of youngsters (Jack apart) aren't up to much, but he should probably have done something to counter-act that.
As far as I'm concerned, he should stay because no manager could make drastic changes to the playing staff until the summer - but then his position should be seriously considered.
What to say about the lack of saves from our keepers?
It is very hard to work out exactly what is going on in goal. When you concede a lot of shots from outside the box, is it fair to criticise the goalkeeper, the defence, or both? And if both, to what extent is each culpable?
I'm prepared to believe that the skill of our defence means that opposition chances (when they do occur) are of a higher quality because they come from a mistake by one of our players - but that does not excuse our keepers saving nothing.
When there was speculation a couple of years back about Szczesny's contract, everyone wondered what Wenger's issue was; it's pretty obvious now.
It's pretty much impossible to win with substitutions…
I remember when I used to complain when Wenger used to bring on striker after striker in search of victory that it was a move bereft of any real tactical nous, and doesn't really help if you're trying to create chances.
But then, if you bring on a winger for a winger, it's termed 'like for like' and therefore not changing the game. And, if heaven forbid you bring on a defensive player when chasing the game, you are clearly a complete buffoon who hasn't got a clue.
The truth about substitutions is that unless the substitute quite clearly wins the game, it's very hard to evaluate them. In pretty much all football analysis, the importance given to them is grossly disproportionate to their actual importance.
The great irony in all this…
Is that after the press went on and on and on and on about how we've won nothing for seven years, we're 2/1 to win the Carling Cup with this team. If Thomas does lift the trophy, no doubt we'll hear about how it's not a real trophy. Them's the breaks.
Keep the faith.

Some opinions presented as facts. What's going on at Arsenal?
- It is profoundly odd to argue this Arsenal team is not a mediocre Arsenal team. That we were an incredibly poor side in the 1950s and 60s somewhat misses the point, for two reasons: it's not short-term thinking to compare the team with the last 20 years - that's a reasonable data-set - and this is the worst Arsenal side in that period, at least on form.
But more importantly, the mediocrity needs to be viewed in context: when you have the fourth largest wage bill in the League, the team should be performing much better.
- That said, the argument going around at the moment that we cannot hold a lead is patently false: it is unfortunate to blow a two goal lead twice in a week. The fact remains though that the only other time this season we have been pegged back after taking the lead was the ridiculous match against Reading. It is simply untrue to say we cannot hold a lead.
- Explaining the lack of defensive stability is difficult. It's easy to blame the goalkeeper but he was in goal at the beginning of the season when we were more solid. Certainly, losing Gibbs to injury has not helped, and Thomas Vermaelen has not played well this season, but the biggest issue has been losing Abou Diaby.
Diaby would sit in front of the defence and contest all the aerial balls, meaning that Koscielny/Vermaelen/Mertesacker could do what they do well - mopping up all the loose balls and winning the ball on the ground. Mikel Arteta, for his many strengths, cannot do that and what the table below shows is that although we're conceding maybe one more shot on target per game than when Diaby was fit, a much higher proportion are going in.
It's a little simplistic to blame it solely on Diaby's injury - Mannone has made some clangers and there's been a series of defensive mistakes - but teams have been getting chances which are easier to convert and that's certainly partly because we're not competing in the air; it's also shown by us repeatedly conceding from set pieces since he went off injured against Chelsea.
- Even so, before this week, nobody would really have accused this Arsenal team of leaking goals. At current rates, we're projected to concede about 38 goals this seasons, which whilst nowhere near good enough to win the League would be a staunch improvement on last season. The problems with the defence have been over-hyped - get Szczesny, a keeper the defence trust, back in goal and the players in front of him will play better and the keeper will also save more of the shots on target.
Obviously we're a much stronger team when Diaby plays - but that's a bit like saying we would have scored more goals in the last six seasons if Van Persie had always been fit. It's true, but completely irrelevant, because neither Diaby or Van Persie are players whose fitness can be relied upon.
- So what's the problem? It's basically the midfield and attack. Not exactly a small problem then.
All the midfield players are too similar, which puts a massive onus on Cazorla to create chances. When Wilshere and Rosicky are back playing properly that will be less of an issue, but the lack of another player who can create chances is an enormous problem. It's why - I suspect - Wenger persists with picking Aaron Ramsey: at least he tries to create chances. For all we mocked Alex Song and his chipped through balls, he still had the most assists at the club last season - and that from what was ostensibly the holding midfield role. Compare and contrast with Mikel Arteta.
Our forwards' conversion rates are not bad, but we don't create enough for them.
It's especially galling because one of the reasons we're weak defensively is that Walcott and Podolski don't defend anywhere near as much as they should do. In theory, this should mean they're in great positions for counter-attacks but it's just not happening. That particularly irritates me because Andrey Arshavin does create chances (where Podolski doesn't) but isn't allowed to play because of his supposed lack of defensive nous.
The wingers just aren't particularly good players - Chamberlain's done nothing all season, Gervinho couldn't cross a ball if he was paid to (oh wait, he is), Walcott's decision-making is awful and his new thing is shooting when he should cross to prove he should play up front, and I'm very confused as to what Lukas Podolski actually does.
I like Olivier Giroud but even Robin van Persie - the best player in the League last season - struggled with this motley bunch, so he's not exactly in an easy situation.
- This really hits at the key problem at Arsenal - and why so many fans are unhappy. Yeah, the ticket prices are high but London is one of the most expensive cities in the world and ticket prices are also high at Chelsea and Tottenham and it's a complete straw man to keep on bringing up ticket prices as a reason the fans are unhappy, not least because the stadium is (still) consistently sold out.
It's inconsistent to complain about the club not extracting enough from sponsorship deals and then complaining about the tickets being overpriced: the club does not care about the individual supporter and no Premier League club does - when you're turning over tens or hundreds of millions of pounds, one fan not spending a thousand pounds is unimportant.
As long as the stadium remains full, the board - rightly - will not care about ticket prices.
But the real problem is then not spending the money from the gate receipts on players: when we challenged for the League in 2010 we had Nasri, Fabregas, Song and Van Persie; instead, we now have Podolski, Cazorla, Arteta and Giroud - not bad footballers, but nowhere near as good as their predecessors who (lest we forget) didn't manage to win anything. So where we needed to move forward, we've actually regressed.
And alongside them, there's a series of very average players - Vermaelen, Ramsey, Chamberlain, Coquelin, Walcott - and some absolute dross.
The great irony is that a few years back we were praising the medium-priced players Wenger was signing (Eduardo, Sagna, Nasri, Arshavin) and asking for more of them. The difference then was the quality of the young players coming through was much higher - people of the calibre of Clichy, Song, Fabregas (and the slightly older) Van Persie came through to play for the first team and were key players.
Because these days the young players are nowhere near as good, the need to go out and spend on the top young players - like, for example, Juan Mata - is tremendous, but the board/the manager appear to be ignoring it. And therefore, we will only challenge for the top four, if we're lucky.
- To come full circle and go back to the original point about the wage bill, there's an argument often made that the only reason teams want our top players is because they're very talented.
That's true. But the reason teams don't want our squad players - despite them being quite talented - is because of their wages. It's something which needs to be sorted out, because although our wage bill is large, it's artificially large as it doesn't represent the strength of the squad. And that's the reason we may well finish outside the top four.
Keep the faith.

A (14) But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, LIVEST after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles TO LIVE as do the Jews?
B (15) We who are Jews by nature, and not SINNERS of the Gentiles,
C (16) Knowing that a man IS NOT JUSTIFIED BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW,
D (16) but BY THE FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST,
E (16) even we have believed in Jesus Christ,
D1 (16) that we might be justified BY THE FAITH OF CHRIST,
C1 (16) and not BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW: for BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW shall no flesh BE JUSTIFIED.
B1 (17,18) But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found SINNERS, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? By no means. For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
A1 (19) For I through the law am dead to the law, THAT I MIGHT LIVE unto God.

If you like your winters, uh, wintery, the newly released Farmer's Almanac has some bad news -- the almanac is predicting a warm and wet winter for the portion of the Northeast that includes the Pittsburgh region.
The weather predictions in the 2012 edition of the almanac include -- gasp! -- a stab at actual science. It says a fading La Nina, or area of abnormally cold water, in the Pacific Ocean will drive a colder-than-normal winter for much of the central part of the country, while the east will stay warm. And thanks to its predicted active storm track through the Ohio River Valley and into the Northeast, it's looking for above normal precipitation here as well.
That's not to say the winter will be a wash for those who like to see some snow on the ground. The almanac says to watch out in February, when several storms will dump heavy, wet snow along the East Coast.
The almanac's accuracy can be iffy -- editors admitted in the new edition that their prediction of a snowy 2011 across the country was off the mark, but in the 2010 edition, they correctly called for heavy snow here in February of that year.
If nothing else, it makes for an entertaining read -- but it probably shouldn't be your only source of weather information this winter, said Alicia Smith, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service's office in Moon Township.
"I've seen almanacs getting passed around in here before -- I think we're curious about what they have to say," Smith said. "But you probably should check with other sources than just relying on the almanac."
Smith said the weather service's Climate Prediction Center issues periodic three-month predictions throughout the year, and will issue its annual winter outlook in the coming weeks. And those predictions are based on probabilities, rather than calling for a specific kind of weather in a specific area during a specific week that's still months away.
"It's very difficult to make those kinds of predictions that far in advance," Smith said of the almanac. "But if you're looking for entertainment, then the almanac is a good place to go."

Over the last few months unfortunately we have seen "Mother Nature" in all her fury with some devastating results especially in Far North Queensland again.
They had just started to recover from Cyclone Larry a category 4 in March 2006 and then Cyclone Yasi hit, a category 5 with winds up to 295km per hr.
In all the devastation, there were some great news though too, especially from Homefab, one of our biggest Steel Frame Housing Manufacturer up north.
They have developed a Cyclone Rated Building System that incorporates high tensile light weight steel and our Henrob Rivets to create a high quality and durable product that has now proven it can definitely withstand cyclones.
As soon as the phone lines were up and running again after Yasi, Homefab received numerous calls from very happy customers who still had their Henrob riveted Steel Frame Houses standing, most of them with none or minimal damage, as you can see in the pictures which we received from Homefab.

I have a planning permission (issued by a district council) containing a planning condition requiring the submission (for approval) of a Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) in relation to heritage matters. It appears that the district council doesn't have its own heritage advisor, so uses the county council's advisor instead. Although not a requirement in the wording of the planning condition, the district has provided a note (in a letter originating from the county council) stating that the county's advisor will "charge £230+VAT to the applicant" (and presumably in addition to the application fee being charged for Discharge of Condition by the district council) to provide a brief (to base the WSI on – not a specific to the wording of the Condition), to review the WSI, and to review the final report (i.e. the final outputs produced in accordance with the approved WSI – again, the approval of this report isn't a specific requirement of the Condition). The note suggests that this additional fee isn't optional.
On what basis is the county council able to forcibly charge additional fees (and of what value) to the applicant (bearing in mind that a professional heritage consultant will be employed by the applicant to carry out the work in any case), when the County's advice is primarily being provided to the district council, and when a charge is already levied to the applicant by the district council to allow them to deal with their requirements to consider and discharge the information submitted by the applicant (required by the Condition which the district council wrote)?
Thoughts on whether I can avoid this extra charge (i.e. it has no legal basis) or whether they can force this additional fee upon me would be appreciated. Thanks.

Philippians 2:1-11; Ezekiel 20; Isaiah 49
The call of Christ; the call of the Savior is a call that begins in the Old Testament. Too often those in ancient times thought of gods being in charge of their little fiefdoms. The strength of the god was shown in how much territory they conquered. While the Jewish people were in exile God made it clear that He was The One and Only God and that His reign was to be for all people. "Indeed He says, 'It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You as a light to the Gentiles, That You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth.'" (Isaiah 49:6) During this time of year we focus a lot on the birth of the Savior. One of the promises fulfilled in Jesus is this verse here. It was a truth of God that most Jews did not want to hear in the days of Jesus and it got Paul arrested during his ministry. God's plan though, from the beginning, was that all people would see His light and turn to Him. He was planning on restoring relationships with Him from the beginning. Inevitably you will see calls to "Keep Christ in Christmas." Perhaps we could paraphrase this verse so that we not only look at who God is seeking to reconcile, but when: "Indeed He says, 'It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob during one short season of the year…You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth each and every day.'" The message of Christ is not confined to Christmas. The message of reconciliation is a message that changes lives every day. Our God is in charge of all creation. Our God reigns at all times. Let us show that restoration; let us be that light all year round.
Dear Lord, it is so easy to share Your love during this short season. People seem to be receptive to the story of the little babe born in a manger. Help me to live in Your message of reconciliation every day. Let me show others the power that has come because You restored my relationship with You all year long.

KITTERY, Maine — Caroline Hamilton is "a little peanut of a girl" with "a brain tumor the size of a plum," said Dana Anderson of York, Maine.
KITTERY, Maine — Caroline Hamilton is "a little peanut of a girl" with "a brain tumor the size of a plum," said Dana Anderson of York, Maine.
Caroline, 8, of Methuen, Mass., has pediatric low grade astrocytoma, or PLGA, the most common form of brain cancer in children. She was diagnosed at age 6.
On June 1, Anderson and three crew members — including Caroline's uncle, Albert Previte — will sail from Portsmouth to the Canary Islands off the coast of Portugal to raise money and awareness for the PLGA Research Program at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
The four men will sail 3,000 miles across the Atlantic on a 2003 Sabre 42-foot vessel named Vision Quest, which is owned by Anderson, a longtime friend of Caroline's family.
Throughout the roughly 30-day voyage, supporters can visit PLGAQuest.org to observe the crew's progress and learn about the expedition in real-time blogs. Anderson and crew hope supporters will visit that same site to make donations.
Since Caroline's story and Anderson's sail were first reported in these pages back in September, PLGA Quest: Journey for a Cure has raised $30,000. Organizers are hoping for at least $50,000, with all proceeds benefiting the PLGA program at Dana-Farber.
"Times are tough right now, but anything anyone can give — $5, $50, $500, it truly adds up," said Caroline's mother, Sarah Hamilton. "It all pools together and it makes a difference."
The Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States estimates there are more than 20,000 children with PLGAs today and more than 1,000 new children are diagnosed with some type of PLGA each year.
The tumors are called "low-grade" because they're slow growing. "But they're no less invasive," Sarah said.
Even though PLGAs are the most common forms of childhood brain tumors, Sarah said it's one of the least researched areas in the field, with "toxic and ineffective" treatment options dating back to the 1980s.
Right now, Caroline is doing well, having gained 12 pounds. since September. She's endured 25 blood transfusions and 15 months of chemotherapy.
Sarah believes Caroline's current good health may be due in part to a blessing from Pope Benedict XVI, which Caroline was able to receive through the Make A Wish Foundation. Caroline, who attends Catholic school in North Andover, Mass., went to Rome in March and was blessed by the pope himself.
Since then, Sarah said, Caroline's cyst shrunk — "nothing (else) has been smaller in two years" — and her growth hormone levels became normal.
"I really do give the pope a lot of credit," Sarah said. "That was a very special, very personal experience."

Select-5 in the DP and DM series
Select-5 is a type of squelch protocol used in analogue radio systems, in which transmissions consist of or include a burst of sequential audio tones. Receiving radio that are set to respond to the transmitted tone sequence will either open their squelch or carry out an action.
Select-5 (otherwise known as 5-Tone) is mainly in used outside the Americas and continues to be included with radio equipment sold in these regions.
The following radios support Select-5 signaling:DP4400; DP4401; DP4400e; DP4401e; DP4401Ex
DP4600; DP4601; DP4600e; DP4601e
DP4800; DP4801; DP4800e; DP4801e; DP4801Ex
DP3441; DP3441e; DP3661e
DP2400**; DP2600**; DP2400e; DP2600e
DM4400; DM4400e;DM4401; DM4401e
DM4600; DM4600e;DM4601; DM4601e
These radios support the following tone formats:- ZVEI
- ZVEI 1 (sometimes known as DZVEI)
- ZVEI 3 (sometimes known as PZVEI)
- CCIR with 100ms: 70ms and 20ms tone duration.
For systems that do not support any of the above formats, it is possible to define up to two custom User Defined signalling formats.
The burst described above consists of a Telegram. This Telegram will consist of between one and three Sequences. There is usually a short pause between each sequence. Each sequence will consist of up to 20 digits consisting of:
- Fixed Hexadecimal numbers: 0 to 9 and A to F
- Up to eight variable address digits entered in the CPS as A1 to A8 within brackets.
- Up to three status digits represented by entered in the CPS as S1 to A3 within brackets.
- And two special digits represented by T1 and T2.
- Up to eight variable address digits entered in the CPS as A1 to A8 within brackets.
- Up to three status digits represented by entered in the CPS as S1 to A3 within brackets.
- And two special digits represented by T1 and T2.
By default A and E are reserved for Group and Repeat and should not be used for individual radio numbers.
A group digits is the wildcard in a sequence. For example if a radio were to send 123AA, all radio which are configured to respond to 123xx will either open their squelch or carry out the configured action.
Select-5 cannot differentiate between two sucessive tones with the same frequency (digit) therefore the radio will automatically substitute the 2nd sucessive number with the repeat digit. So the sequence 12233 will actually be sent as 12E3E and 00000 will be sent as 0E0E0 - no user intervention is required other than avoiding E as a digit in the entered sequence.
A radio will send the Telegram if:
- The user presses a button configured to send this Telegram.
- The radio receives a Selective Call; Stun; Un-stun or Silent Interrogate and is configured to send - an Auto Acknowledge.
- On power up or power down - if configured to do so.
- On pressing or releasing the PTT - if configured to do so.
In the below example, the radio has been provisioned with three sequences. The radios unique number in this case is 0001. The leading two digits signify what the sequence will be doing: 01 for PTT ID and 02 for selective call.
I have given names to these sequences to aid in configuring the radios. Sequence 1 (PTT-ID) is sent using Telegram 1. Sequence 2 and 3 (SelCall- and Caller ID) are sent in Telegram 2:
Telegram 1 is sent when the PTT is pressed:
Note that to see the above two fields, you need to add a 5-Tone Channel to the Zone. These fields are not visible in Conventional (MDC1200/QCII) Channels.
Call 1 will send Telegram 2:
And pressing button P1 will envoke Call 1:
On the receiving side, two decoder definitions would be needed: one for showing the PTT-ID of other radios and the other for handing the selective call.
One more thing: don't forget to "enable" the above decoder definitions in the 5-tone channel:
In a forthcoming post I'll be sharing how to improve the above configuration by adding features like auto-ack and auto-reset.
To get a general idea about Select-5, have a look at my old tutorial videos on YouTube covering the setup of the (no longer produced) GP/GM Professional Series.
