The Broder singers (Yiddish: di Broder zinger) were the first professional, secular Yiddish performers, bringing Yiddish songs and short dramas into wine cellars, restaurants, and inns in Galicia, Romania and Russia, beginning in the mid-nineteenth century and later overlapping with the early Yiddish theater. The Broder repertoire was both serious and comic, influenced by Chasidism on one hand and haskole (enlightenment) on the other. This lecture explores the personalities behind this legendary movement, their performance styles, and the (often murky) provenance and content of their repertoire.

We're about community! In this day of digital everything, how do we entice people to come together instead of staying at home and watching a screen? Our synagogues, centers, schools, and libraries are the only places we can truly experience programs that provide opportunities to gather together, under one roof, in one place. Thanks to the digital age, much of this can be done on a shoe-string budget. Marilyn Hassid shares tips she has gained from her 30 years of experience producing hundreds of community arts programs for the entire Houston community through the JCC and other venues. Her presentation discusses current trends in adult and children's programming, how libraries might supplement (complement) what their related schools and institutions are currently doing, or how they might launch programming these schools and institutions should and could be doing.

Bryan Stone and Rabbi Jimmy Kessler gave the Opening Plenary for the 2013 AJL conference in Houston, TX on June 17, 2013. They described the history of Jewish life in Texas through the lens of myth and misconception. When the first Jewish communities began to emerge in the 1850's, immigrants were attracted in part by a Texas mythology that emphasized individual freedom and economic opportunity. In the 20th century, Texas retained its appeal as a place of mythic opportunity, as the Galveston Movement illustrates. Even today, myths persist about Texas Jewry. The speakers provide evidence and anecdotes to show that Texas is, and has been for more than 150 years, the setting for a thriving, self-identified, and spiritually rich - if a somewhat distinctive - Jewish community.

A Jewish presence in China can be traced back to the Tang period in the 8th century. In modern history, the rise of anti-Semitism in Russia and Eastern Europe in early 19th century and the Holocaust propelled waves of Jews to North and South China. These historical events have been researched and updated by Jewish people ever since their gradual departure from China in the beginning of the 1950s. This presentation provides details on Chinese records of Jewish "guest dwelling" in China.

As part of its mission to serve the Jewish Studies scholarly community, JSTOR has engaged two initiatives to increase coverage of this field in the JSTOR archive. The first is to expand inclusion of Jewish Studies academic journals by including more international titles and expanding broad interdisciplinary coverage of the field. The second is to include periodicals in the Hebrew language. This second initiative was made possible in part through a grant-funded collaboration between JSTOR, the University of Haifa Library and the National Library of Israel, and began with a pilot project to digitize and test the complete back runs of four academic serials in Hebrew through the JSTOR platform, the first of its kind. Throughout the process, we have gained from the input and insights of library and faculty advisors in the Jewish scholarly community. Drawing on these two initiatives, JSTOR will soon launch a unique Jewish Studies collection, offering the full runs of key academic journals. Our intention over the coming years is to continue to build resources in this field to support research, teaching, and learning. we also seek to serve different communities of scholarship, from traditional higher education institutions to museums, theological seminaries and libraries. This presentation will report on findings learned through this pilot project on how readers of advanced Hebrew use digitized academic serials, provide an update on developing this resource to provide value to academic research libraries and other institutions, and invite librarians to participate in developing these resources further in JSTOR.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Starbucks
Now, a Starbucks investor wants Schultz to go one better by prohibiting the world's biggest coffee chain from making any political contributions, or forming a political action committee.
Shareholders of the Seattle-based company will vote at its March 20 annual meeting on a proposal by John Harrington, who owns 800 shares, to "adopt a policy prohibiting the use of corporate funds for any political election or campaign."
"It compromises your fiduciary responsibility because you don't know how people are going to vote once they are elected," Harrington, chief executive of Napa, California-based Harrington Investments, said in an interview with Reuters.
Starbucks is one of 125 companies that have faced shareholder proposals over the last two years related to political spending, according to a March 7 report by the Sustainable Investments Institute, which tracks political spending and corporate governance issues.
In votes held this year, 37 percent of VISA's
"The problem is that the closer your contributions get to someone who can help your company, the closer they look like bribery," said University of Delaware professor Charles Elson, director of its John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance. "It's probably best for companies to just get out of it altogether.
Over the last three years, Starbucks
Its corporate policy, however, allows contributions to state or local candidates, political action committees or state ballot measures.
"We rarely make contributions and when we do we're committed to doing so transparently," said Starbucks spokesman Zack Hutson. "We believe that we have a responsibility to advocate for public policies that support our business, our partners and the communities we serve."
Starbucks' board recommended its shareholders vote against the ban, saying it would impact the company's ability to educate elected officials about its business, promote public policies "critical to delivering long-term value for our shareholders," and "potentially put us at a marked disadvantage relative to our competitors who are able to participate in the political process."
The coffee chain made contributions in the past, the board added, and "may consider doing so in the future if it is in the best interests of the company, our shareholders, our partners and the communities we serve."
Delaware professor Elson agrees with the Starbucks approach. "Let's say someone decides to outlaw caffeine," he said. "Starbucks' shareholders would expect the company to represent their interests."

In 2006, four researchers were awarded grants by MSIF which enabled them to travel to work on MS projects in Australia and the United States.
Lisa G.M. van Baarsen, from the Netherlands, was awarded a £4,000 grant and travelled to the Van Andel Research Institute, in Michigan, USA for six weeks.
Lisa was trained in proteomics using antibody array technology under the supervision of Dr Brian Haab (with Lisa, right). Her studies resulted in the identification of a list of proteins that were differentially produced in patients with recently onset MS compared to healthy patients. These proteins could potentially be biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis.
A second study found some proteins that are differentially produced between relapsing-remitting MS and secondary progressive MS. Lisa was selected to give a presentation about her work at the ISNI2006 in Nagoya, Japan, in October 2006.

Raoul Oude Engberink from the Image Sciences Institute at the Utrecht University Medical Centre (UMCU) in the Netherlands used his MSIF Du Pré Grant to work with Prof JWM Bulte at the Department of Radiology and Radiological Science at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, USA.
The research focused on the visualisation and tracking of monocytes using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Results of the research show that monocytes can be effectively labelled by magneto electroporation (MEP) using a special class of magnetic resonance (MR) contrast agents - iron oxides - without affecting cell viability and metabolic activity. The high amount of iron uptake per cell, as observed on the histological stainings, indicates that these cells can be readily detected by MRI. In comparison to other labelling techniques like simple incubation and the use of transfection agents, MEP appears to be ultra-fast and extremely efficient. Based upon in vitro data acquired at Johns Hopkins, this monocyte labelling strategy is a powerful tool for accurate tracking of monocytes by MRI in MS pathology.
Having returned to the Netherlands, Raoul continues to work on this research project in collaboration with the Utrecht University Pharmaceutical Department. He aims to transfer the learnt technique to the UMCU laboratories through the purchase of an electroporator, funded, in part, by his MSIF Du Pré Grant.
The results of a part of Raoul's continued work with the Utrecht University - MR visualization of electroporated monocytes - will be presented at the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) meeting in Berlin in May 2007.

The collegial and intellectual environment at the Menzies Institute greatly facilitated learning throughout the placement. Furthermore, cross-fertilisation of ideas between different disciplines within the institute, such as rheumatology, diabetes, cancer and genetics, was possible. I was able to take advantage of the wealth of knowledge and numerous contacts the MS Research Group had amassed through previous collaborative research into MS in Tasmania and across Australia.
In November 2006, a Du Pré Grant enabled Helen Tremlett from the Neurology Division of the Faculty of Medicine, University of British Columbia in Canada to travel to the Menzies Research Institute, University of Tasmania in Australia. Overseen by Prof Anne-Louise Ponsonby and Dr Ingrid Van der Mei of the Institute's MS Research Group, Helen spent four months working on part of an ongoing three-year population-based MS observational study being carried out in southern Tasmania. The study is primarily examining whether lifestyle and environmental factors influence the progression of MS and Helen was able to use the collected data for the two projects she carried out.
During the study both levels of non-adherence – stopping immunomodulatory drugs (IMDs) and missing doses – were examined. Little is currently known about the latter. Demographic, clinical, psychological and cognitive factors affecting adherence were examined by logistic regression and a longitudinal analysis. The influence of missed doses on clinical outcomes was then examined.
It was found that stopping IMD was associated with previous relapses and education level whilst missing doses was associated with alcohol use and a prior history of missed doses. It was concluded that adherence measures should be routinely incorporated into clinical trials, which would facilitate establishing if missed doses drives therapeutic failure or reflects a 'healthy adherer' effect.
A paper has been submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal and an abstract will be submitted to ECTRIMS in 2007.
The relationship between infections, relapses and disease progression in MS was examined with a special emphasis on assessing the seasonality of relapses and the contributions of these factors to the seasonal pattern. Ambient climatic and atmospheric data collated by the Cardio Respiratory Group in Tasmania supported the study.
The analysis is ongoing and collaborative work on this project will continue between the Menzies Research Institute, Tasmania and the University of British Columbia.
I wish to thank MSIF for enabling me to travel to Tasmania to carry out research at the Menzies Institute. I found the whole experience very positive and highly rewarding. I intend to continue building collaborations with Tasmania that were initiated because of the Du Pré Grant.
This training period allowed me to acquire new expertise in the tissue culture model of central nervous system (CNS) myelination. I have also gained a better overview of the complex relationships affecting oligodendrocyte (OL) cell biology, which are involved in remyelination. - an understanding of which could be relevant in the development of new therapeutic strategies promoting remyelination in disorders such as MS.
In October 2006, Gabrièle Piaton from the Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale (INSERM U711), Hôpital de la Salpêtrière in Paris, France began an eight month research visit to the Smilow Research Center, New York University School of Medicine in the USA.
As part of the Neuroscience Program, and under the supervision of Dr James Salzer and Dr Carla Taveggia, Gabrièle was involved in a number of different projects working on the origin of remyelinating cells in the adult CNS and the identification of the signals that trigger their activation.
Gabrièle's main projects focused on gaining a better understanding as to whether the protein type III neuregulin-1 (NRG-1), also known as CRD, might be a pro-(re)myelinating signal. Recent studies have shown that type III NRG-1 is the main effector for myelination in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and promotes myelination in the CNS. Preliminary results suggested that NRG-1 might participate in remyelination of specific neuronal subpopulation(s), along with other factors yet unidentified.
The work on type III NRG-1 will continue at the Center.
In June 2007, Gabrièle's team at the Smilow Research Center presented an abstract at the 13th Annual Kentucky Spinal Cord and Head Injury Research Trust Symposium.

Around 3,600 years ago, reliefs in Egyptian tombs and temples depicted pharaohs and warriors proudly riding into battle on horse-drawn chariots. Some historians claim that the chariot launched a technological and strategic revolution, and was the secret weapon behind Egypt's greatest era of conquest known as the New Kingdom. But was the Egyptian chariot really a revolutionary design? How decisive a role did it play in the bloody battles of the ancient world? In this film, a team of archaeologists, engineers, woodworkers and horse trainers join forces to build and test two highly accurate replicas of Egyptian royal chariots. They discover astonishingly advanced features, including spoked wheels, springs, shock absorbers, anti-roll bars and even a convex shaped rear mirror, leading one of them to compare the level of design to the engineering standards of 1930's-era Buicks! By driving our pair of replicas to their limits in the desert outside Cairo, NOVA's experts test the claim that the chariot marks a crucial turning point in ancient military history.

Three loaded guns were seized at a gang members' home in the South Side Back of the Yards neighborhood Thursday, police said.
Deering District tactical police officers seized three guns while executing a search warrant at 2:22 p.m. at a home in the 4900 block of South Laflin Street, police said.
Police found three guns -- a revolver as well as 45-caliber and 9-mm semiautomatics.
James Montgomery, 62, of the 4900 block of South Laflin Street, was charged with three felony counts of unlawful use of weapon by a felon, police said.
"Time and time again, we see that when firearms end up in the wrong hands, devastating consequences result," said Deering District Commander Joseph Gorman. "Deering District officers should be commended for their work in this investigation."
Montgomery, a convicted felon and gang member, is expected Friday in bond court.

The secret is in the sauce, so to speak – titanium dioxide is mixed with the concrete which catalyzes chemical reactions with light exposure. So when sun hits the bricks, the nitrogen oxide (mainly from car exhaust) is turned into nitrates. And then when the rain comes down, the nitrates are washed away with the dust. The university claims the nitrates are harmless, so we wouldn't run the risk of having just another form of toxin like we do with nitrates from heavy fertilization.

Current trends in U.S.-Japan relations were the focus of Paige Cottingham-Streater's lecture on March 28 in the Campus Center Ballroom. Cottingham-Streater, deputy executive director of The Maureen and Mike Mansfield Foundation, described career opportunities in Japan for NJIT students. "The U.S. and Japan enjoy a mature and unprecedented friendly relationship," she said. "Opportunities for technological exchanges and cooperation exist." >>

Bucksketball Podcast – Episode 004
Category: Podcast
We're back.
Episode the fourth of the Bucksketball Podcast is fresh and hot off the, um, laptop.
More wins.
More struggles in The Basketball-Reference Game.
We also talk about why everyone loves Larry Sanders, how crazy it would be to trade Tobias Harris and what has Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings playing together so well.
If you're into the iTunes thing, here's a link. Otherwise, go ahead and click the player below.
About the Author (Author Profile)Jeremy Schmidt writes the Milwaukee Bucks blog Bucksketball. He founded it in January of 2009 because he hated his job. It's like basketball, but with Bucks instead of basket. I know ... I'm sorry. He might come off as a bit negative, but I'm really not so bad. He just wants the Bucks to succeed, so he points out areas where they are coming up short. Someone has got to do it and he's ornery and opinionated enough to take on that task. He isn't sure if this should be in third person or not. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com if you must use e-mail.

Love the line about Larry "Sandler" : It's like he just found the instruction manual to all his tools.
It comes as no surprise to ME that it took him three years to read the directions.
Ha ha ha Ho ho ho
You couldn't name a single player from Seton Hall to make it to the NBA and yet there is one on the Bucks. Samuel Dalembert. lol

Corner Tray is Great- BUT
Comments about Product:
The tray might be great-- if I got the right parts. I ordered the straight plant stand and two corner stands. But the corner stand came with two left sides. And no middle "foot" to help hold the weight. Then P & H sent a right side, but no middle foot, making it impossible to put the trays, loaded with ornamental rocks and plants on the stand. If you don't mind waiting weeks and weeks and calling customer service countless times, then this is the stand and trays for you.
Comments about Product:
Love them, they gave me a corner to bring in the plants that I had put outside this summer. Looks great. Here is a photo. have a great day. Susan
I Love My Plant Stand
Comments about Product:
This plant stand allowed me to put all of my potted plants in one area to make my yard neater. I love the look and the convenience of caring for them all at the same time. I will need to order the trays, I thought I wouldn't need them but the design of the shelves makes my pots unstable without them. I am very pleased with my purchase.
Archer's grandmother
I would recommend this for any gardener!
Comments about Product:
I am so glad to get the small and medium size flower pots off the floor and display them on this stand. It is just the right size and I can even add to it in the future. This was the perfect addition to my screen room.
Leg plate is missing
Comments about Product:
The bottom tray is missing the connecting plate for the middle leg
Overall suited my needs
Comments about Product:
Only thing I didn't like was the packing material in the box that got all over everything, and scattered when I opened the boxes.
Nice corner plant stand
Comments about Product:
Arrived quickly, easy to set up, exactly as described. I have received many compliments already. I have it set up in an empty spot in my flower bed and have it loaded with pots of annuals - perfect.
Looks great on my patio!
Comments about Product:
I set this up on the patio to hold all my little pots of annuals. It looks great and helps to hide an ugly area by the steps. I had originally bought the trays to go on the shelves, but after setting it all up, I didn't really want water to collect in the trays. The open shelves are perfect for watering outdoor plants.
Perfect for our sun porch
Comments about Product:
It came in two boxes because we ordered the liners too which are definitely worth the price. I am very pleased with the product. We had a little trouble with the assembly but it really didn't take too long to figure it out. As one reviewer said, you cannot put large pots on it but why would you? Those go on the floor! I have a lovely assortment of orchids, violets, and green plants on the three levels as well as some decorative items.
Perfect for my orchids.
Comments about Product:
I love this for my orchids. I ordered two 1/4 circle for their display.
Love it!
Comments about Product:
I set it up on my patio and had to wait a couple of days for the straight-shelf one to arrive. I love them both and am working on filling them up with plants.
Important pieces missing...
Comments about Product:
My husband and I are very disappointed with this item. It is a beautiful plant stand; however, my husband is, right now, making his own supports to put on the plant stand to hold it together. When we received it, he put it together quickly and it wasn't difficult. Then, he noticed that there were no pieces to secure to the stand with the nuts and bolts that were provided. The middle of each section..the straight section and each of the two side sections had no support pieces to secure the stand. Consequently, the shelves kept falling. I called and explained this to your representative, who was a very nice man and he knew exactly what I was talking about and said I would receive these supports. We waiting for seven days and when we did receive the package, it was the wrong thing. The items were simply more sections of the plant stand, which we already have. Apparently, where you get this item, they don't know how to include important pieces to complete the order. We are extremely disappointed with Plow and Hearth. I think my husband will be able tu buy what he needs at the hardware store, but this is not right. The original plant stand arrived in good condition, but the package it came in was extremely damaged, with holes in the box, etc. My thinking is that, perhaps the pieces we're missing fell out. We aren't even able to send it back because we can't locate a big enough box. We were not asked to send it back, but, as I said, luckily for me, I think my husband will be able to fix it..I'm being very generous when I give a 3 star for this item. I would not recommend it to a friend, or enemy for that matter.
I love my new plant stand,
Comments about Product:
This plant stand was easy to put together and seems solid. It is perfect for my cactus collection. It exceeded my expectations!
Bob M
Far better than I expected
Comments about Product:
I was somewhat apprehensive after reading the negative reviews, but decided to take a chance anyway. After getting the unit (one straight and one corner), assembling it and moving the pieces around several times to find the perfect location, my wife and I have come to the conclusion that the negative reviewers must have been talking about a different product ! Assembly was simple, the unit is as solid as anything we've seen and, while the "clip together" assembly could cause a problem in blindly grabbing and moving the unit, my wife noticed that if she held two of the pieces together at two of the clip points, we could move it as often as needed. It currently holds my herb garden of 15, 6 inch containers, plus a few assorted flowers for some accent. It makes a beautiful and totally useful display, and we could not be more pleased.
Holds lots of indoor plants
Comments about Product:
Holds lots of plants big and small. I put it by a window. the low light plants on the side and the others in the middle for the light. My plants are doing fantastic. Delivery was great, got it sooner than expected although one little part was missing, but we improvised. Great product, looks good.
Good Design Poor Workmanship
Comments about Product:
This product has good design and uses quality material. However, the workmanship is terrible. The frame is distorted. Parts do not fit properly. Corner clips are missing from both the first shipment and the replacement. I finally use steel wire to fix it myself. Now, I have to take the heavy defect package to UPS in order to ship it back. Not worth the trouble!
Jimmy Bliss
Comments about Product:
I - LOVE - THIS - PLANT STAND! It's powder-coated with epoxy resin (whatever that is? enamel?) so it should not rust. It was easy to assemble. Very attractive and sturdy. However I do agree with one of the other reviews that suggested it could be a bit higher from the ground. The bottom shelf is 5" from my floor/deck. 8" - 10" would be better. I don't plan to raise it up since it would take away from the aesthetics.
Jimmy Bliss
One last note-Trays don't fit
Comments about Product:
I still love this plant stand even though it too low to the ground. I kept the stand but returned the trays since they do not fit the stand. After reassembling the stand several times I finally figured out they don't work. (I tried reassembling the shelves upside down but then that didn't work when I tried to attach the center leg to the bottom shelf) It's a design flaw. I would recommend the stand to a friend but the trays will always be a problem as they are not in any way secured to, or fit inside the frame of the shelves.
Good idea to keep those plants
Comments about Product:
i ordered online and originally no shipping charges but checking out I saw a $14.99 fee and was not going to confirm the purchase (I did not confirm) but it processed anyway and I did not receive free shipping. I could have gone to a local store and find something similar with no shipping charges.
Steel Plant Stands
Comments about Product:
We are extremeely pleased with the plant stands. We now can display all our orchids on the plant stands. It works great for the 20+ orchids and cactus.
Very Nice But a Little Bit Too Narrow
Comments about Product:
I am using this for a collection of succulents. I would have liked the shelves to have different widths. However, it still works and the plants can be seen from my kitchen although I have them at the back of the patio.
Part of it defective
Comments about Product:
The first corner assembled so easily and looked GREAT! Then, it was nothing but problems-the welding made the back of the middle unit so uneven that one foot didn't even touch the ground. And the connector for one of the shelves was so tight, there was no way to install the shelf. The other corner - the corner connections didn't match up and was unusable. The unit looked like it had been returned and then shipped to me. The one part that actually assembled looked great, but I'm not sure even then, that it's worth the money.
Ms. Picky
Comments about Product:
Definitely not worth what I paid for it. It is not a powder coat finish, more like plastic covered coat hanger wire is about all it is. Very flimsy. I kept it only because it was wider than others sold. Looks like black iron in the photo but it is definitely hunter green in color.
Great plant stand!
Comments about Product:
It is exactly what I was looking for and unable to find in any local stores. Thanks!
Pretty particular
Needs to be raised higher off the ground
Comments about Product:
On the patio Nice style Too low on the ground
SV Bruce
Good quality, easy assembly.
Comments about Product:
Looks great on our deck!
johnny appleseed
stylish and affordable
Comments about Product:
it holds all medium pots good design will not hold large planters everyone who sees it loves it looks very nice set up with all three sections ans the correct colors for plants and herbs
Product that was as advertisd
Comments about Product:
This shelving unit along with trays filled a need for a display of my Africian Violets. Especially appreciated trays that keep water from overwatering from going all over my floor
Not what I expected!
Comments about Product:
It is much smaller than I expected, so I had to build a platform to raise it to the height I need. Metal is bad for my new brick patio, so I had to wrap the feet in plastic until my platform is ready. Too much work. Parts were missing, so I had to buy my own, and it needs ties to secure the pieces together. There was also a broken piece.
Regina Gardener
Almost perfect
Comments about Product:
The shelving unit goes together smoothly and is well construsted. I would have given it a 5, but the trays do not fit as securely on the shelves and can slid around.
Finally got all the right pieces.
Comments about Product:
Promptly shipped, attractive unit. I ordered the corner and straight stands (total unit as shown in the catalogue). First try, the side panels enclosed were not what was needed -- too many As and too little Bs. Called and got the replacement quickly but, while it was a side panel "B" it was not going to work because it needed to be a "left side" panel. The instructions don't show a right and left side panel for the straight unit but it cannot be assembled without them. And, upon receiving a box with every conceivable side panel (six in total), there actually is a "left" side panel that fits on the straight unit (has to be a female with connectors on the inside and leaves on the outside). So I now have the unit assembled and 7 extra side panels I do not know what to do with. I'll figure it out. Thanks to all the WONDERFUL service folks who worked with me.

Great Value and Nice Useful Item
Comments about Product:
This is a nice plant stand that can be used outdoors without the trays to allow for easy watering and drainage and then moved indoors with the trays to catch water for wintering. As previously noted, the stand is fitted together vs. bolted together so is difficult to move without it all coming apart. But the assembly is easy and a one-person job so that is a minor inconvenience. The planter is modular - you can use the straight pieces and corners in various combinations. Very nice. Quality is good and has weathered well this year. This is exactly what I wanted as I am an avid gardener who needed a rack for starting new plants in smaller pots and for growing herbs and houseplants in small-medium sized pots outside of the kitchen door as a "cooks garden". I move the corners of the stand around as needed to hold containers of flowers. Great on patio!
Decent product
Comments about Product:
The plant stand is nice -- looks great on porch. The problem was the service to get it -- item arrived with a broken piece (one of the sides of the stand). Customer service offered to send out a replacement. Unfortunately, two times the wrong part was sent. I purchased this as a gift and sadly it took 6 weeks before I could give it to the person.
Well made and serves purpose nicely
Comments about Product:
We bought the corner racks to reside in our built on greenhouse. The trays will help keep the floor dry and the plants secure and moist
Perfect for putting lots of plants on!
Comments about Product:
Love that I can bring my plants in from the cold, then put them out when the weather warms. Keeps everything neat, and watering doesn't go all over the floor.
The Orchid Girl
Love it!!!!
Comments about Product:
It is exactly as shown in the pictures. Very easy to set up and carry. I simply love it!
Auntie S.
It's just what I expected and wanted!
Comments about Product:
Met all my expectations. I do all container gardening and this is a great way to display my potted plants. Easy to put together. All my friends have said how great it looks.
Avid gardener
Cute stand, but not what I had in mind
Comments about Product:
When I saw this plant stand, I thought it would be perfect for holding my outdoor plants when I brought them in for the winter. Unfortunately, most of my potted plants (gardenia, Christmas cactus, begonia) are too big for the narrow shelves. Once the trays are added, forget about it - only the smallest pots fit then. Once the stand is put together don't think about moving it, the unit is "fit" together rather than held together with screws so the fit can come undone with slight movement. It is a cute stand and I am using it for small plants but I will have to keep looking for something that suits my needs for the larger ones. One friend who commented on how she'd like a unit like this has African violets and primrose plants which would fit nicely. I am not clicking on whether or not I would recommend this to a friend as it would depend on what they were looking to use it for and it would be a bit misleading and unfair for me to say either way.
Garden Lover
Like the Product but poorly designed
Comments about Product:
The product is really good looking. But when we tried to assemble, the center support leg on the bottom broke when turning the screw. Propped the broken leg support under the stand and still used.
Saxon Esses
Perfect flower showplace
Comments about Product:
Summer flower pots and planters have not always had a good home for the season, but we now have everything placed, and they look beautiful. The plant stand is durable, easy to put together, and won't be blown away by the constant wind off Lake Superior. We have been totally pleased by this purchase.
Jane the gardener
Embellished Steel Plant Stand
Comments about Product:
We live in a townhouse and have to make good use of outdoor space. This stand is perfect for our patio. It holds all my plants for herbs and looks nice at the same time.
Jody the gardner!!
Works beautifully!
Comments about Product:
We use the stands on our deck. Was not able to use the trays for my larger pots. When I could use the trays it was good to have the trays to catch the water so I did not have to water quite as much.
Nice Little Stand
Comments about Product:
Small enough to fit into the corner of my deck without being in the way. Love the three layers of shelfs -- makes it look nice. Had to move it inside during tornado threats and it was hard to move without something popping out. Besides having to move it, I love the stand.
Just trays
Comments about Product:
Trays serve their purpose but I wish they had small drains/holes in the bottom to allow spilled water to leak out.
Ads and Things
Comments about Product:
This plant stand is used in a sunny corner of my great room. It is size-appropriate and holds a number of my house plants. Regrettably, the stand lacked one fastener and one of the metal supports was slightly bent. We fixed it and are using it as it arrived. Trays slip...do not contain indentations for stability. Great for us...probably wouldn't recommend it for active family. Thanks
Love it!
Comments about Product:
Looks terrific in use.
Great product
Comments about Product:
I bought two complete sets. The stands freed up a lot of space in my yard that was dedicated to growing seedlings. We now have more play space for my daughter. I love these stands and will probably buy one more set.
great looking and perfect size
Comments about Product:
very nice and perfect size for my house, durable and convenient too!
Avid gardener
Pretty but ...
Comments about Product:
Stand is very attractive and holds much more than I thought it would. My complaint is that we were missing bolts, and had to perform and operation on one of the brackets to open it up enough to take the shelf. This should not be. Obviously there needs to be more quality control in the factory where it is made. Not sure if I would recommend based on this.
Butterfly & Cardinal Fan
The Perfect Addition to My Patio
Comments about Product:
Every spring through fall I buy a variety of plants to attract butterflies and songbirds to my patio. I get to enjoy the wild birds and butterflies that come and visit but it always seemed that my patio was messy with big terracota pots all over the place and no room for anything else. Not very appealing to me. I went to local gardening stores, looked through catalogs and searched an infinite amount of websites trying to find something for a small area and that would hold all my plants in one place. Most of the plant holders out there are for just one to three plants. When I saw this plant stand I knew I had found what I needed. I ordered the plant stand set (1 straight unit & 2 corner units). Customer Service was great & answered all my questions[...] Took me 5 mins to set it up. It's high quality with a green finish. It fit most of the plants including 2 vines. (42 pots in picture) It was the perfect solution for me and my small patio. I'm very happy with this purchase and I highly recommend it. Now all I need are smaller decorative pots.
Jenn the Gardner
Add polish to the plant stand
Comments about Product:
The trays add a finished look to the plant stand and really create a nice look. I purchased just the corner plant stand for the front porch and I am so glad that I got the trays too.
Exactly what I needed for my cactus
Comments about Product:
After looking at almost 20 other garden websites this site had exactly what I needed. I wanted a wrought iron look that was tall enough and without all the frills and scrollwork of other plant stands. This only took me 5 minutes to assemble, the finish is without paint specs or blemishes, and it looks great in a corner of my front porch. I have a lot of cacti and succulents and this complements the look of the plants. I especially like the 3-tier structure. I was a little concerned about how far it might stick out from the wall but took a chance and glad I did. I liked this so much I just ordered the straight unit that connects to it and a set of the zinc trays for the corner unit only. Great purchase and the price was just right.
Quality shelf
Comments about Product:
Purchased this for use with plants, but found it's also a handy shelf for other collectibles, which is nice. It's also durable enough to withstand snow and wind. Even purchasing only the corner unit, there is ample space to hold things.
Looks great
Comments about Product:
I have this setup in the livingroom. Plants and I love it! I might put it outside in the summer...
Good buy
Comments about Product:
Glad I bought them to use with the plant stand. I don't even need to use saucers under the pots.
very sturdy plant stands
Comments about Product:
shopped around looking to find something cheaper but could not find anything compared to this for the value and construction. These are easy to assemble ,very strong and sturdy.I bought the center piece and two corner pieces. They have alot of room. I am extremely happy with my purchase!!
does the job
Comments about Product:
not super high quality or stylish but it displays my plants in the corner window beautifully. It does the job.
Sparky's Mom
Perfect for a corner
Comments about Product:
I searched for a long time to find what I wanted, and this is it! It fits perfectly in the corner of my small deck, and the tiered structure enables it to hold a lot of plants without taking up a lot of room. Very sturdy, yet lightweight and easy to move.
Container Crazy
I've buying another.....
Comments about Product:
I've looked all over for a plant stand that would hold my many, various size clay pots. I purchased the straight and corner stands with their respective galvanized trays over a year ago. It surprised me at how many plants my set holds and how attractive it is. The stands and liners have held up well in the hot dry area I live in and the liners provide extra water on those hot hot days. I just purchased another stand for use in a different area. The only limitation I've found is that the size of the base of the pot is limited by the size of the liner. I still use big pots, but when I purchase them I makes sure the bottom will fit in the liner. (Size is not a problem w/out the liner) Also, I add an extra row of large pots on the ground so my nesting stand has four rows, not three. It looks great, plants are organized, and watering is so easy.
the plant lady
just what I needed
Comments about Product:
The box that it came in was not secure. Perhaps packing tape should have been used instead of scotch tape........the box was very heavy.
We r pleased but please NO emails!!!!!!!
Comments about Product:
For our herb pots. Attractive. Surprisingly sturdy!
Plenty of space for pots
Comments about Product:
Was able to put over 20 pots on the three tiers. Once assembled, it is strong....but will fold up and fall apart if any component is not correctly strung together. Regardless, it looks good and really is sturdy. The folding up part will be fine when it comes time to put it away for the winter.

A Very Good Deal
Comments about Product:
I bought the three piece plant stand set because I bring orchids outside int the summer and need someplace to put them-up and off the ground. This set is perfect and affords a lot of room for my collection. It's very well made, fairly easy to put together and looks great on the patio.
Patio Perfect
Comments about Product:
Not only was it easy to assemble (I'm 73 years old and it took me less than 45 minutes!) but it is beautiful, sturdy, and perfect for my small patio. [...] stand is even more than I had expected in quality and appearance. I might buy another one for the other side of the patio!
I bought one then bought another
Comments about Product:
I bought two plant stands. [...] I decided I needed another and now they're both just perfect for my patio. I like the dark green color and the simple design. I'd buy a third if I had a bigger patio!

Beautiful stand
Comments about Product:
This stand is beautiful and of just the right configuration to fit in my back yard. Not only does it strongly support my potted plants, but acts as a nice seperator between outside dinning and outdoor potting and fixit area.

- ARCC has an average dollar-volume (as measured by average daily share volume multiplied by share price) of $41.9 million.

Stocks matching the 'Barbarian at the Gate' criteria are worthwhile stocks to watch for a variety of factors including historical back testing and volatility.

In this case, the stock crossed an important inflection point; namely, 'resistance' while at the same time the range of the stock's movement in price is more than twice its normal size. This large range foreshadows a possible continuation as the stock moves higher. EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Get the inside scoop on opportunities in ARCC with the Ticky from Trade-Ideas.

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Ares Capital Corporation as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, increase in net income and good cash flow from operations. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including disappointing return on equity and feeble growth in the company's earnings per share. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 5.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 22.9%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and greatly outperformed compared to the Capital Markets industry average. The net income increased by 45.6% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $80.34 million to $116.99 million.
- The gross profit margin for ARES CAPITAL CORP is currently very high, coming in at 71.00%. Regardless of ARCC's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, ARCC's net profit margin of 48.80% significantly outperformed against the industry.
- ARES CAPITAL CORP has improved earnings per share by 21.9% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. We feel it is likely to report a decline in earnings in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, ARES CAPITAL CORP reported lower earnings of $1.81 versus $2.20 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 13.5% in earnings ($1.57 versus $1.81).
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. When compared to other companies in the Capital Markets industry and the overall market, ARES CAPITAL CORP's return on equity is below that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

SPOKANE VALLEY -- A building badly damaged by an early morning fire had recently been renovated.
The building houses a motorcycle repair shop and a restaurant that opened seven weeks ago.
Firefighters responded the Handle Bar Restaurant and Hell Yeah Cycles around 4:00 a.m. Tuesday after receiving reports of smoke in the area.
Nate Smith, whose family owns both businesses, was woken up by the bad news.
"I was speechless. I didn't know. I thought it was a dream. I didn't know what to think," Smith said.
Investigators said the fire started in the basement and worked up to the attic. The floor partially collapsed as firefighters worked to put out the flames, but no one was hurt.
The cause is still under investigation.
Smith guesses there was an electrical problem.
There were a number of Harley Davidson Motorcycles inside the shop, but Smith did not know how the bikes fared in the fire.
Smith said his father and a business partner started a complete renovation on the building about a year ago. They plan to rebuild.
"The way I look at it, it's a hiccup. But we can make it bigger and better. If you let it take you down, you are not going to get anywhere," Smith said.
Firefighters estimate $75,000 in damage.

Need some help!!!
Hey Guys,
My boyfriend and I recently got our puppy Ninja on Craigslist from a really sweet woman who I guess couldn't take care of her due to family circumstances. Ninja is such a sweet puppy, a total love bug, not really aggressive at all, but oh man, is she stubborn. She's between 5-6 months old, and she's really having some behavioral issues.
Right now, we're trying to get her crate trained, as she keeps having accidents in the house. Any time we put her in her crate (and we nicely lure her in with treats/toys, so we don't make it negative) she starts whining and crying. This is a problem, because although either my boyfriend or I are home a majority of the time, there's maybe 3 hours a day, that's she alone, and as soon as I close my front door, I can hear her start to bark her little head off again.
The main problems we're facing:
1. Potty TrainingShe'll go to the bathroom when we bring her outside, and when she does, we make it a REALLY BIG DEAL. Give her lots of lovin' and a treat, but then often, as soon as we get back inside and I turn my head for a second, she's squatting in the other room already going again. I've thought at first, maybe we just we're being patient enough outside, but there are times when I just bring her out for a quick pee/poo that I'm outside with her in our yard for almost 35 minutes. And she'll STILL go inside. I'm currently keeping a leash on her while she's in the house and tying it to my waist so that she's always RIGHT near me, and I can catch her right as she's starting to go, but we're still having problems. Am I expecting her to change too quickly for her age? (She's 5 months old)
2.Commands: Sit, Down, Stay, ect Ninja is a stubborn little girl, anytime she hears us say sit, she looks at us with a "Why should I" type look. I've recently started treat training (which I've heard isn't great to do, because then they get used to getting treats for doing that they should do anytime) and she'll always sit right down for a treat, and she'll lay down. On occasion I can entice her to sit with her favorite tennis ball too, but how do I get her to listen with out a toy or treat. Often I say "Sit!" and she just looks at me, and I'll repeat it over and over again, and I can TELL she knows what I'm saying because as soon as I pull out a treat she suddenly will do it. (Tricky little girl!) Should I just continue to treat train her and solidify the commands, or should I be doing something else to make her learn these for the future. Sometimes, upon hearing a command, not only will she not do it, she'll just walk away from me, meaning I have to walk after and put her but on the ground and physically make her sit! (she's very stubborn and defiant).
3.Barking!!!(IN THE CRATE) She's only a barker when she's in her crate. Otherwise she's pretty good unless she sees another dog or person while we're on a walk. We've tried spraying her with a water bottle to get her attention to quite her down and then praise her when she's quiet. Sometimes it works, sometimes she just keeps barking, and ANYTIME we leave she is barking up a storm! What can we do to ease the crying the barking both in and out of the crate?
4.Jumping on peopleShe's still a jumper! Any time we let her out of her crate, go outside, have a friend over, anything, she jumps up repeatedly. We have been pushing her off of us and saying "Off!" and then praising her when she stays down for a minute, there seems to be VERY little improvement with her on this.
I know that we got her at a difficult age, from what I've read, she's probably going through a stubborn streak, I'm looking for some advice, any that you can offer me! I'll take books, websites, articles, personal experience, magical spells (haha) what ever you've got!
She's my first puppy, and I want to make sure that I can take her to family events and bring her (almost) everywhere with me! My boyfriend and I can't get enough of her, but this constant battle is wearing on us, we're not going to give up of course, just want a good strategy for training her right!
Surviving a puppy
The puppy period is a very tough but all important time. Things you do or don't do can have a profound effect on the behavior of your dog as an adult.
It's very difficult to adequately talk you through all the puppy issue you described in a forum. If you want a free video on house training and some puppy basics go to survivingapuppy.com.
#1 thing to concentrate on at this time is socialization!!!!!!
Enjoy your pup.
The FernDog Trainer Academy
FernDog Training
Surviving a Puppy
I highly recommend clicker training. It is amazingly effective with a puppy, they're little sponges and make quick associations with the click and what they're doing. It will help SO MUCH with teaching commands, manners, and boundaries.
As for crate/potty training, be consistent and don't allow her ANY chance to go potty inside. That means right now you need to take her out when ever she drinks, eats, after playing, after napping, and if not any of those then every hour of the day. Don't come inside with her until she's gone potty! Running around in the yard and playing with her, and going on a walk helps make them go potty. Withhold food/water 2 hours before bedtime. Make sure you give her plenty of exercise before she's going into her crate, take her on a long walk and play fetch in the yard. If she's tired and exercised, she'll be much more likely to eliminate and not cry in her crate.
Be very diligent about crate training, and make the crate the best place in the world! Leave the door open all day and toss treats in there when ever you walk by it and say "kennel" (or whatever command you want to use), so she'll run in and eat her treats and going in won't be forced. Feed her in her crate. You'll also want to hand feed her part of her meals, preferably while having her do tricks, so she doesn't feel the need to guard food. Every time she goes in the crate, give her a SPECIAL crate treat! Stuff a Kong with canned food, moist kibble, peanut butter, or plain meat and freeze it for a few hours. Give her a bully stick, pig ear, cow esophagus, puppy nylabone, or any other safe chews in her crate (no rawhides or cooked bones). The key is finding what she really really loves and occupies her for a good 30 minutes and give it to her ONLY when she goes to her crate, so she's totally distracted when she goes in an associates the crate with yummy things. NEVER take her out of the crate while she's crying, never ever! Cover her crate with a sheet in a cool, quiet area. Play some soft music or leave the TV on. If she's very persistent about barking and she responds to corrections, sternly say "Shhh" or "Noooo". I raised a 9 week-old GSD puppy who was an awful crate barker/whiner when I first got him. I had to cuddle with him in the bed, then put him in his crate once he fell asleep, with a chewy. He'd groggily chew it a little then fall back asleep. When he would cry, I'd say "NOooo" and he would fall back asleep.
Ninja is such a cute name!!!

9 Year-Old Girl Gives Birth In Mexico
My mouth dropped all the way down to the ground when I saw this! Totally in shock still!
A 9 year-old girl, Dafne, in Mexico has given birth. She delivered a 5.7 pound baby girl by cesarean section on January 27th in Zonquipan Hospital in Jalisco, an area in western Mexico.
Apparently the father is a boy who is 17, but they have not found him since he ran away. The girl was only 8 years-old when she became pregnant.
This is all still under investigation.

RE: Josephine Chrystie
You're very welcome! I searched for 36 graves yesterday and the cemetery superintendent was very surprised to see just how many did not have stones.
That's ok that I didn't get credit for fulfilling your request. I found a bunch of other stones that had not been requested and added them, too, so I don't care about my statistics.
I was glad to help you.

Mulford Cash Bassett Jr
Hi Ditdit,
I'm trying to confirm in which cemetery Mulford Cash Bassett, Jr is buried. His death certificate just states North Harwich.
His vitals are:
Born 16 May 1842 Harwich
Died 3 Jul 1896 Chatham
Md Julia A Kelley 11 Sept 1861 in Harwich
His parents were Mulford Cash Bassett, Sr and Lurana Chase, both buried in North Harwich Cemetery, Find A Grave Memorial# 112956738 & Find A Grave Memorial# 112956698, respectively.
After Mulford, Jr died in 1896, his wife Julia married John E Buffinton (1898) and they lived in Fall River. John died in 1910 and he is buried in Fall River (confirmed).
Julia's vitals are:
Born 11 Aug 1842 in Harwich
Died 2 Mar 1914 in Dennis
Death name was: Julia A Buffinton
Her death certificate also states she was buried in North Harwich. She is the daughter of Marshall Kelley and Eliza Bassett who are buried in the Kelley Cemetery in Harwich.
If I could get confirmation of where Mulford Jr and is wife Julia A (Kelley) Buffinton are buried I will get them entered into F-A-G.
Any assistance you can give me will be appreciated as always.

Mail Crash
I don't know what's going on lately, but I just keep having odd issues.
Starting this morning, when I try to send an email, the cursor in the "To" line blinks as expected. After I enter one letter in the "To" line, the cursor freezes for a second and then the Mail app closes.
The only thing I installed in the last 24 hours was FolderEnhancer. I didn't think it was the culprit, but uninstalled it anyway. No luck.
The only update (I remember) applying in the last day was to Activator.
I tried "Fix User Dir Permissions" in SBSettings\More\System Options. No luck.
I think I may have to restore to original, but I really don't want to do that.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Update: I think the issue may be with the Contacts app. I am able to reply to emails I receive without issue, it's only when I try typing in the "To" line or tapping the "+" to search for Contacts.
Also, the Contacts app crashes as soon as it is opened, and I can't get into the "Mail, Contacts, Calendar" Settings menu.
As always, any ideas are greatly appreciated.
