The population in Southeastern Virginia grew rapidly with urbanization after World War II, as the Navy expanded installations in the region.
In 1952, Elizabeth City County and the Town of Phoebus merged into the city of Hampton. That same year, Warwick County converted to Warwick City, blocking any future efforts by the City of Newport News to annex county territory. In 1958, Warwick City and Newport News merged to form the city of Newport News. Consolidation streamlined the decision process and reduced costs for providing urban services, especially construction of schools, drinking water plants, and wastewater facilities.
Some city formation in Southeastern Virginia was triggered by political disputes over who would control the development of urban services, and who would pay for them. The multiple jurisdictions on the tip of the Peninsula could have consolidated into one city, but Hampton twice blocked consolidation with Newport News.
jurisdictional boundaries on the tip of the Peninsula were more fragmented prior to the consolidation of the City of Hampton with Elizabeth City County/Town of Phoebus in 1952, and the separate merger of Warwick County with City of Newport News in 1958

In 1950, Hampton voters rejected a 5-way merger with the City of Newport News, the Town of Phoebus, plus Elizabeth City and Warwick counties. In 1956, the proposed City of Hampton Roads (or "Port City") would have consolidated Warwick County, the City of Newport News, and the recently-expanded City of Hampton (which had merged four years earlier with the Town of Phoebus and Elizabeth City County).
After the voters in Hampton narrowly rejected the 1956 proposal, Warwick and Newport News merged two years later. That 1958 merger combined into one jurisdiction the shipbuilding job center of Newport News with the housing of the shipyard workers in Warwick County - and left Hampton as a separate city.1
In addition to Newport News and Hampton, Poquoson is the third independent city on the eastern edge of the Peninsula. Poquoson became a separate town within York County in 1952, and an independent city in 1975.
Status as a town allowed Poquoson to retain its high school. The only high school in York County was established there in 1910, but by 1952 the county was proposing to build a new high school in a more-central location. Creating a separate town with its own school system preserved a high school in Poquoson, and also allowed Poquoson to manage the desegregation process. Today, there is still a very clear distinction in the population of Poquoson vs. the rest of the political jurisdictions in southeastern Virginia.2
Poquoson split from York County and became an independent city in 1975

South of the James River, Norfolk was the dominant city through the 1940's. The population of Norfolk of Norfolk grew from 144,332 to 213,513 between 1940 and 1950, but expansion of the city boundaries was opposed by its neighbors.3
Rural areas surrounding Norfolk were not inclined to join into voluntary metropolitan partnerships. Rural county residents would have to contribute extra taxes for development of urban services, which would be concentrated around the growing population center of the city of Norfolk rather than benefit most residents.
After all, most of the voters who would benefit from increased urban services would vote in the city of Norfolk, not in the surrounding counties. Norfolk had almost twice the population of the surrounding counties in 1950 - only 42,277 people lived in Princess Anne County (now the city of Virginia Beach) and 110,371 people lived in the City of South Norfolk and Norfolk County (now combined into the City of Chesapeake).4
Norfolk city officials sought to annex land from adjacent counties. Annexation would increase the city's tax base, since real estate and property taxes from the annexed land would flow into the city's bank account and finance additional services. The city was especially interested in annexing commercial property that had already been developed.
Shopping districts and office buildings generate taxes, but do not require a city to offer many services. In particular, commercial property does not require schools for students...
Surrounding counties saw annexation by the city of Norfolk as a threat. After annexation, the counties would end up with less tax revenue to support their schools and other county services. If Norfolk succeeded in annexing commercial property, then elected officials in the counties would have to raise taxes of the remaining residents to finance existing services and to deliver on campaign promises to offer additional services.
Norfolk did annex a portion of Princess Anne County in 1955, and again in 1959. The surrounding counties responded by incorporating as independent cities, a status which made them immune to any additional annexations by Norfolk. In 1963, the city of South Norfolk and Norfolk County merged to create the City of Chesapeake, and Princess Anne County merged with the town of Virginia Beach to form the City of Virginia Beach (the largest city in Virginia in both area and now in population).
As independent cities, they were immune to annexation by Norfolk. The power to resist annexation gave Virginia Beach leverage when Norfolk proposed changes in land use along the boundary. For example, in 2014 Norfolk planned to convert the city-owned Lake Wright Golf Course into an outlet mall, but 38 acres of land owned by the city were located within the jurisdiction of Virginia Beach. Norfolk was obliged to negotiate a rezoning of its land by Virginia Beach officials, who sought to get Norfolk to build road improvements before rezoning land to allow a parking lot.5
Norfolk was forced to negotiate with Virginia Beach as a co-equal city, in order to convert the Lake Wright Golf Course south of the airport into the Simon Premium Outlet Park

Urbanization continued to spread in Southeastern Virginia throughout the 1960's. In 1972, Nansemond County converted into the city of Nansemond, and in 1974 it merged into the City of Suffolk.
As a result, all political jurisdictions in Southeastern Virginia are independent cities; there are no counties remaining. Since towns exist only within counties, there are no towns in Southeastern Virginia now because all the counties in that corner of Virginia have converted into cities.

Another Great Use For Pallets: A Compost Bin
Get Back To The Garden
It's pretty clear: here at Re-Nest we love a good pallet project. Check out this new use for one of our favorite materials over at Get Back To The Garden: a compost bin! Created in only one hour you need to check this one out!
I love the way Travis describes his new compost bin:
I made this new compost bin in about an hour using four pallets and four 4X4's cemented in at the corners. I left the pallet facing the camera connected only with twisted wire through eye-hooks for easy bi-annual removal. and yes, those are cutoffs.
So simple, yet so thoughtful. This is a functional design that is made inexpensively using repurposed items. Couldn't get better than that! See more at Get Back To The Garden.

We did the same thing a few years ago, but made it a 3-binner. This may be obvious, but I'll go ahead and say it... make sure your fire place ashes are completely out before putting them on your pile. Compost and pallet bins burn very easily:(
Also, sweet shorts!
Yikes, i wouldn't put my compost up against the wall of the house.
Please make sure you use untreated wood.
We cranked out a half-dozen of these for our community compost pile this spring; they come together easily if you have enough similarly-sized pallets.
I also recommend lining them with 1/4" wire mesh which is easy to find at any hardware store - anything larger a mouse can get through. If you staple the mesh down before assembly it's a snap.
We put hinges on ours, and a hook-eye latch, but we turn ours far more often.
This is the compost-builder's wife, Abbey. Don't worry, we didn't put the compost directly against the house. It's hard to see it in this picture, but there's a pallet between the compost and the brick so that air circulates all around the bin.
Where do people find such nice looking pallets on this website? It seems like every pallet tutorial shows beautiful pallets. I made my compost bin out of pallets last year, and it looks like it could fall apart at any time. Not that it matters, its job is to hold dirt so no need to be vain. But seriously! Beautiful pallet find!

I do him, he does me, its fun. We've done it (usually) in a bed, in the shower, in a forest one time, 69, on my face, chest, boob f***ing... He wants to wait to have sex till marriage which I am fine with Because I'm having fun with what we are doing now. What are some other things to do that's sexual but not legitimate sex? Any other suggestions would be great! We're pretty open and intimate about what we want so say whatever.
What's Your Opinion?
What Guys Said 1
Legitimate sex? What is legitimate sex? Sounds like that is what you have been doing the whole time. If he wanted to wait to have sex, he would keep his pants up entirely. You even called it 'oral sex,' maybe I am confused.
What Girls Said 1
oral SEX is SEX. hence the word SEX after oral. he isn't waiting for anything nor is he a virgin

Waldo, a man unstuck from place and time
As alone and forsaken as you'd like to be
There are shoreless miseries of oceans, not seas
While you wallow and wail in your tower of ivory
Your sister is starving, your brother is begging
Your mothers are mourning, your fathers are folding
Unseen, unsung – under the same sun
Waldo, a man unstuck from place and time
Christian! do not dishonour religion by always wearing a brow of care; come, cast your burden upon your Lord. You are staggering beneath a weight which your Father would not feel… O child of suffering, be thou patient; God has not passed thee over in his providence. Sit not down in despair; hope on, hope ever… If God cares for you, why need you care too? Can you trust him for your soul, and not for your body? He has never refused to bear your burdens, he has never fainted under their weight. Come, then, soul! have done with fretful care, and leave all thy concerns in the hand of a gracious God.
- Charles Spurgeon

Just me? Yeah, those special features is what makes me want to purchase a blu-ray in the first place. Plus there's Sly Stallone's Bullet To The Head, which I heard was a fun movie. Take any of these movies for what it's worth.
Chadwick Boseman, Harrison Ford. Directed by Brian Helgeland

Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. (NDAQ) will set up its interest-rate derivatives NLX trading platform in London with six products including the German bund and Euribor, in direct competition with the two biggest exchanges in the region.
The New York-based company will start NLX trading with futures based on short sterling, Charlotte Crosswell, chief executive officer of the new system, said today in an interview in Interlaken, Switzerland. It will also offer medium-term German government debt known as Bobl, so-called Schatz short-term German debt, and a U.K. government bond at the same time. Nasdaq will start the trading platform in the first quarter of 2013, she said.
"We are focused on creating competition with incumbent large exchanges," Crosswell said at the SFOA's annual conference for derivatives exchanges and regulators. "We are going live with lookalike contracts. When you look at new products you never know, so we will launch with the six and potentially one or two new products."
Competition for derivatives trading is intensifying as exchanges and alternative systems seek to benefit from new European and U.S. regulations that will push more over-the-counter derivatives into electronic trading. NLX, backed by the second-largest U.S. equity exchange, joins as many as five other new entrants who have gone public months after the European Union blocked a merger between Deutsche Boerse AG (DB1) and NYSE Euronext, saying it stifled competition.
CME Group Inc. (CME), which also plans to open a derivatives market in London next year for currency futures, yesterday said it will consider interest-rate products and options after the platform has started to operate. CME will focus on new products.
Multilateral Trading
Nasdaq in June said it will start the London venue as a multilateral-trading facility and offer a range of short-term and long-term interest-rate derivatives. The exchange will subsequently add options, Crosswell said.
NLX will use LCH.Clearnet Group Ltd., the largest clearinghouse for interest-rate swaps, for clearing and settlement services.
"To gain critical mass we need a couple of market makers per contract and a core group of customers there to support them," she said. "So far our target has been the top 20 banks and market makers and we are now expanding that down the chain. LCH enables us to gain support more quickly because of the existing clearing membership that participants have with LCH."
The new London market will compete with NYSE Euronext's Liffe and Deutsche Boerse's Eurex, the largest derivatives venues in Europe. Liffe offers gilts, short-sterling and Euribor futures, while Frankfurt-based Eurex has contracts on German and French bonds. The European Commission blocked the two from merging in February, saying the combination would stifle competition in derivatives.

George Washington Birthplace National Monument is located on Virginia's Northern Neck, the peninsula formed by the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers as they flow into Chesapeake Bay. This is typical tidewater country. The land is low and flat. Branches unite to form creeks which often spread into marshlands as they near the river. At its tip, the peninsula is barely 25 miles wide from river to river. The monument lies some 40 miles upriver from the bay, at a point where the neck narrows to about 8 miles.
The Northern Neck is still predominately a rural area and retains much of an 18th-century atmosphere. Its towns and settlements are small, and there are no large industries. But for years its waters, beaches, and historic sites have attracted the traveling public. All of the neck is within easy driving distance of Baltimore, Md., Washington, D.C., Richmond, Va., and a host of cities and towns in between. Although tourism has so far spurred only a limited amount of development, it is still the Northern Neck's main source of income.
A patchwork of fields, marshes, scattered survivors of the original forest, and a mature second growth of mixed hardwoods and pines compose the monument. George Washington's birthplace stood on a promontory overlooking Popes Creek. Standing there today, on the highest ground in the monument, the visitor has a commanding view over the same waters.

(Reuters) - Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Joni Pitkanen underwent surgery on his left knee on Tuesday and is expected to miss about four weeks, the National Hockey League (NHL) team said.
The 28-year-old Pitkanen, who was out indefinitely with a concussion suffered in December, has three goals and nine assists in 21 games this season and leads all Carolina players in average ice time.
The absence of the Finnish defenseman, who was the team's top-scoring defenseman when he was sidelined in December, is a blow for a team that is already sitting in last place in the NHL's Eastern Conference.
Pitkanen, who was taken fourth overall in the 2002 NHL Draft by the Philadelphia Flyers, has 268 points in 504 career games with Carolina, Edmonton and Philadelphia.

Things you should know about Dogs
As much as dogs are mans best friend, there are a lot of things that people don't know about dogs. This article will feature on some facts about dogs that should be known to the human race.
Don't be surprised, but dogs have the ability to count just like humans. In fact, they can count up to five. They even have the capability to understand words used by humans. To make it more interesting, dogs have been known to understand up to 250 words. Isn't this hilarious?
Most are the times you would want to have your dog in your arms; too bad because unlike humans, dogs don't like to be hugged.
Ever wondered how service dogs do their work? Well, they are usually trained. They know when its time for work and when its time to play. They have a harness that guides them. When it's on, they get down to work and the opposite applies when the harness is off.
Dogs have a very unique way of identifying and distinguishing smell. The wetness of a dogs' nose helps it know where a particular smell is coming from!
Have you ever wondered how dogs drink water? They form a tiny cup using their tongue in a backward manner!
Dogs tend to know time. That is, when to eat, play, sleep. They actually know about everything that revolves their owners. When they go to bed and when they wake up in the morning. This is just amazing.
It's believed that some people are color blind. So are dogs. Well, they aren't totally color blind. They actually see differently from we do. Blue and yellow are the only colors that a dog sees.
Compared to the sense of smell of humans, dogs' is much stronger. Far much stronger by 100,000 times!
While a human's heart beat rate is between 70-80 beats per minute, a dogs beats is 70-120 per minute.

Taking Care of Your Dog's Feet
Some people don't pay much attention to their dog's foot care. Dogs also need to get the proper care for their feet. During those hot days or cold winters, dogs' paws also get sensitive. Your dog is used to a nice home environment. When he/she steps out on the hot pavement, the paws will get burned. During winter, they have the same problems you have. This is why it is important to make sure that your dog gets the care it needs to keep their feet in good condition. If you can afford it, get pedicures for your dog. Once in a while, they need the same kind of pampering you get.
With a proper pedicure, you can trim those long nails. Overgrown nails are not just uncomfortable for the dog only but for you too. Imagine if you have hardwood floors and your dog is walking around with long nails snagging on the floors. They will definitely damage your floors. You can find out how to best trim your dog's nails. The fur between the nails should also be trimmed. This is suitable especially during winter. It is to avoid ice balls sticking in the fur between the claws. This can cause discomfort when walking. After trimming the fur, you can clean the pads nicely.
You can also get moisturizer for you dog. Ask your vet the best products to get for your dog. You can also massage the paws to get that blood circulating. A massage will relax your dog. Pay extra attention during the summer. Dogs tend to get their paw pads burnt when walking. Avoid using pavements when walking your dog. You can use anti-bacterial wash if your dog gets burns on the pads. If it's serious, you should take your dog to a vet. Taking care of your dog's feet is part of keeping him/her healthy. You must however know how to do it right.

Recorded in September 2013 in Portland, Oregon and mixed by Jeff Saltzman, Le Onde del Cielo delivers hypnotic, sexy, bass-heavy sounds using a Roland CR-68 drum machine, a Yamaha YC-30 keyboard, a Casiotone CT-6000 keyboard plus guitar, bass and vocals. Max Usata (aka Miro Caltagirone) sings depraved tales of melancholy and obsession in a rich, textured voice that brings to mind a young Tom Waits (if he had been singing in Italian) and Adriano Celentano.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. (WTAQ) - Two workers at Appleton Electric foundry in South Milwaukee were injured in an early morning explosion Saturday. The plant and several nearby homes were evacuated.
Fire officials report a dozen departments responded to the fire which involved several buildings. They say the situation was very dangerous because putting water in the wrong place at a foundry fire can cause another explosion.
Investigators say the blast happened during one of the company's routine processes. The condition of the 2 injured workers was not released.

I read reviews before making so cooked on high and the beans cooked just fine. I added a quarter cup of red wine vinegar once the soup was cooked and liked the addition but my family really likes vinegar. I used chicken broth instead of water so cut down on the salt. I think it would be good served over brown rice or leftovers drained and used as a filling for flour tortillas. YUM!

A Zen approach to education
Amanda Cregan, The Intelligencer: As students load up their backpacks and prepare for another busy school year, a handful of teens are looking forward to a stress-free semester.
At Tinicum Art & Science [Ottsville, PA], high school students are learning to focus their minds, erase life's anxieties and tap into their creativity before classroom instruction can begin.
All classes and activities at the private, religious school are centered around the dojo, a room for meditation and martial arts that contains a shrine to Buddha.
Students begin each school day in silence as they sit in quiet reflection in the dojo, preparing themselves for …

Meditation in the classroom, the new approach to 'emotional learning'
Canadian schools in forefront of adding psychology to the curriculum
Richard Handler, CBC News: As kids head back to school in September, some will find their teachers focusing not just on developing their intellects but also their "mental brawn," to help adolescent brains cope better with today's digitalized world.
It seems that as our modern-day culture grows more frenzied, some schools at least are trying to redesign education so kids can be better equipped to function amid the constant bombardment of media messages and gadgets with all their maddening stimuli.
Already students from kindergarten to Grade 8 in Vancouver, and in nearly 175 schools in …

Children find meditation a blissful experience
Matt Bowen: Silence dominates here.
It's noon in room two at St Paul's Catholic School and noise is everywhere else – the four walls are ablaze with colour, art and slogans; outside, the Ngaruawahia sun is laced with the din of schoolyard kids in play.
Inside though, not a sound – the children are meditating.
The class of 14 six-year-olds is sitting in a close circle on the carpet with teacher Judy Craven the centrepiece on a chair.
Her eyes are closed, too.
The kids sit cross-legged – hands rest either on knees with thumb and forefinger touching or in laps with fingers interlocked …

Memphis School offering meditation to middle school students
It's not what you'd expect at a school: students being asked not to think!
"We are calling it a mental recess," said Greg Graber, the head of middle school at Lausanne Collegiate School. "We really think this is going to help them, to sit and do nothing for 10-15 minutes and try to relax their minds to get distressed and unplugged."
The Lausanne Collegiate School in East Memphis is trying a different way to get kids focused.
Starting in September, Middle schoolers 10 to 14 years old are going to get the option, of skipping recess to sit and do nothing.

Zen for high schoolers: 'Notice the anxiety. Notice the fear.'
The New York Times reports not only that Brooklyn high-schoolers are attending weekly meditation sessions meant to help them handle the challenges of growing up in the city, but that Zen meditation is being offered as an alternative to traditional detentions.
The meditation sessions are taking place in the Brooklyn Zen Center, where Zen priest Greg Snyder is involved in the center's Awake Youth Project, which includes weekly workshops in five public high schools as well as teenager-led sessions at the center.
Now, Mr. Snyder is taking on the tougher task of teaching meditation to Level 1 offenders— students who are frequently put in detention or suspended because they start fights or cause trouble — at Bushwick High School. Administrators at

Meditation enters Mumbai classrooms
Students across [Mumbai] city schools will soon start their day by closing their eyes for 15 minutes and breathing deeply to keep stressful thoughts at bay. In an attempt to relieve the ever-increasing stress of students as well as the school authorities, the state education department has introduced compulsory meditation in all government-aided schools.
The Maharashtra State Council of Research and Technology (MSCERT) has introduced meditation sessions in the morning, for school teachers, headmistress and students between classes V to X. MSCERT director Shridhar Salunke says the council has initiated the move to help students relieve stress, boost self-confidence, improve grades and even cut down on bad behaviour.

Meditation helps kids pay attention, leading researcher says
Gordon Hoekstra, PostMedia News: Simple meditation techniques, backed up with modern scientific knowledge of the brain, are helping kids hard-wire themselves to be able to better pay attention and become kinder, says neuroscientist Richard Davidson.
Davidson — who will speak Friday at the University of British Columbia on his new co-authored book, The Emotional Life of Your Brain — has put his research into practice at elementary schools in Madison, Wis.
About 200 students at four elementary schools have used breathing techniques to hard-wire their brains to improve their ability to focus on their work.

Penn class teaches students how to live like monks
Associate professor Justin McDaniel's religious studies class on monastic life and asceticism gives students at the University of Pennsylvania a firsthand experience of what it's like to be a monk.
Students participating in the class are required to observe disciplines drawn from various monastic traditions, including refraining from using any technology other than electric lighting, quitting coffee and alcohol, avoiding physical contact and prolonged eye contact, and eating only unprocessed foods.
Students also have to follow a dress code, with males wearing black shirts and females wearing white shirts, and males and females have to sit on opposite sides of the classroom.
That's not all.
No makeup, jewelry or hair products.

Amidst chaos, 15 minutes of quiet time helps focus students
On a recent morning at Visitacion Valley Middle School in South San Francisco, Principal James Dierke looked out over the school's auditorium at more than 100 eighth graders. A restless din filled the large room. Bursts of laughter and errant shouts punctuated the buzz. Most of the students seemed disinterested in Dierke's announcements about the spring's impending graduation, upcoming field trips, and recent birthdays.
Then, Dierke struck a bell and said, "Okay, it's quiet time."
And just like that, a hush fell over the auditorium. Students straightened their backs and closed their eyes. Some bowed their heads. Others rested them on the backs of …

Vitamin A and C Eye Drops
Vitamin A - 2,500 IU/cc / Vitamin C - 125 mg/cc, pH adjusted
For over 20 years, Dr. Jonathan Wright has been recommending eye drops made from a combination of vitamin A and C to clear up all types of viral eye infections and to fight allergy symptoms. In fact, Dr. Wright reports that in his practice, this combination has been nearly 100 percent successful for all these conditions.
Vitamin A and C eye drops are so effective they have even healed three of Dr. Wright's patients who were suffering a serious eye infection caused by the herpes-zoster virus. (If this condition isn't healed it often results in blindness.)
You may wonder how a couple of vitamins can so readily fight infection and soothe allergies. The fact is that they do something that most medicines can't do: They actually strengthen the tissues lining the eye. And, vitamin C on its own in high local concentrations kills viruses.
Dr. Wright recommends that you use 1 or 2 drops in each eye, every 3-4 hours.
Keep in mind that A and C eye drops need to be prepared fresh every one to three weeks otherwise they oxidize and lose their effectiveness. (This process is signaled by the liquid turning from clear to brown.) If your eyedrops darken you'll need to have a fresh batch prepared.
The drops will stay fresher longer if you keep them in the refrigerator.
Storage: Keep in the original container. Keep out of the reach of children and pets. Capsules and tablets may be stored at room temperature. Some liquids should be stored in the refrigerator (see the prescription label.) Store all medicines away from excess heat and moisture. Do NOT store in the bathroom.
A prescription is needed to purchase Vitamin A & C Eye Drops.
We compound Vit A 2500iu/ml with Vit C 125mg/ml in 2ml sterile droptainers. The droptainer provides approximately 40 drops. We suggest keeping one container in the fridgeand the rest in the freezer to increase stability.
We sell 1 or 2 droptainers for $49 + shipping or 5 droptainers for $67 + shipping. We recommend 2nd day UPS for shipping – some patients live close enough to IL so that ground arrives in 2 days. We only ship Monday thru Wednesday.You can FAX or email us a prescription that includes shipping info, phone number and includes your credit card number for payment or FAX and then call in the CC#.

A little while back, our friends at Microsoft bought the elusive The Daily WTF mugs for a whole bunch of readers. Unfortunately, many of you missed out — especially those who lived outside of the United States. But the good news is that our friends at New Relic are bringing back Free TDWTF Mug Day, and this time it's for everyone around the world!
So what's the catch? Not much, really. Just sign-up for a trial and deploy their real-time app performance analytics software before September 30th. That's it — I've done it myself, and it takes all of a few minutes to do.
Everything's free, and there's no credit card needed, or anything like that. This is just New Relic's way of thanking you for trying their software. After fourteen days, you can continue to use New Relic's Lite Monitoring for free, or upgrade to a monthly plan.
Supply is limited to 250*, so sign up soon! To get started, just follow this link and, in a few weeks time, you'll not only be more knowledgeable about New Relic, but you'll be enjoying your beverages in a nice, hefty The Daily WTF mug.
* yes, I realize the sign-up page says 100, but we'll fix that soon
UPDATE: One other step, after deploying New Relic on your server, make sure to fill this form out as well. That way we know where to send your mug!
UPDATE #2: If you haven't signed up by now, you missed out. And if you have signed-up, just make sure to deploy to your server before September 30th in order to get your mug.
Re: Free TDWTF Mug Day!
2011-09-22 08:46 • by Patrick from New Relic (unregistered)
Hi everyone: Patrick from New Relic here. For all you that signed up, we will send an email with a link to an address form. Please know that you have to have access to your server to deploy the code for our service and be eligible for the mug. The instructions appear after you signed up.
Thanks! Be on the lookout for that email in a few hours when our marketing guys get to the office in San Francisco!
Vice president
New relic
For those who are on the fence, I can say that the performance of the TDWTF mug is superb. I drank a cup of coffee out of mine fifteen minutes ago. It's a solid, heavy-duty mug and the flow rate is exceptional.
Okay, I signed up and deployed (really took just a few minutes, so no idea what's the complaints about, maybe a pebkac?:), although I happened to use the default signup form, so I'm not sure I entered PAULA_BEAN.
Dear New Relic guys, could you enter it for me? I promise to seriously consider paying you some money if you do! My postcode was "LV-1055".
And on a completely unrelated note, the comment form seems to have problems with cyrillic nicknames. WTF, TDWTF? It's 2011, no?
Hey everyone,
Sorry for the problems with getting your addresses. We had a slight issue with our marketing automation system this morning. Please visit http://try.newrelic.com/tdwtfoffer.html to give us your address so you can get your mugs.
New Relic
W00t !!! Just received a mail asking me where I want the mug shipped !!
In 2-3 weeks, I'm really gonna enjoy my coffee at work !
Thanks Alex and thanks New Relic !!!

No Amiina girls or brass section or did they just have different musicians in the absence of Amiina???
I've seen them 3 times and the shows were always fantastic but the extra depth of a brass section really added to the shows. They don't seem to be playing anywhere in south america so i'll have to miss them this time

The Waimata Wine label and the Waimata vineyard are central to EIT Tairāwhiti's Winemaking & Viticulture programme.
In 1988 a 15.5 hectare site on the banks of the Waimata river was set aside by the Public Trust as a condition of a will that a portion of the land be used for furthering rural education studies. Established in 1990, Waimata Vineyard covers an area of 1.6 hectares within this land and the winery has sufficient capacity to process a maximum 70 tonnes of fruit each year.

Ask anyone who's acquainted with a suicide: we all have a "what-if" story. The impulse to craft a counterfactual narrative is impossible to resist. For years the thought that shadowed me was that with a properly timed phone call I might have saved him. On the day of his death, I called and spoke to our mother to let her know I was in New York safely. She said she'd spoken to Dan earlier in the day, and he confessed that his girlfriend, the older married woman, had broken up with him. She said I ought to give him a call; it might cheer him up to hear from me. I told her I'd call him when everything settled down for me in New York, when I felt more at home. After I hung up the phone I put it out of my mind and thought instead of my starting work the next day. When the phone rang again, it was my father.
The proximity of these phone calls haunted me. I couldn't help but think that if I'd just called him that night, like my mother suggested, I might have prevented his death by speaking a few simple words to him over the telephone like a decent brother. But then I'd never thought of myself as my brother's keeper while he was alive. He was tough and reticent, self-assured and seemingly unflappable. He didn't need me looking out for him. He could look out for himself.
Now he no longer had any such choice, and neither did I. Our mother and father could barely speak of him. To become the guardian of his memory suddenly seemed the most pressing business of my life. Who besides me would assume the role of curator of his story? I undertook the task with compulsive rigor. I wore the flannel shirts he'd left behind until they hung on me like rags. I went to the police for a look at their reports. I went to the office of the state medical examiner for copies of the autopsy findings. I ordered duplicates of the photos taken by the cops and the doctors, photos of him dead in situ, clinical close-ups of his wounds. I stared at these pictures, trying to penetrate the mystery of him, the mystery of how he'd arrived at this place, sprawled on the couch, gun at his side, his head exploded from the force of the bullets. I read and reread the reports, trying to find some hidden significance in phrases such as "portions of cerebral hemisphere are submitted in a separate plastic bag."
Suicide turned him into something of a cipher. People saw him one way or the other: sufferer or coward, victim or murderer. He either succumbed to outside forces or succumbed to the darkest forces within. In the days and weeks after his death, when people's explanations were forming and then soon calcifying—little stories they thought they could live with—I often thought I must be the only one who vacillated between the two extremes, pitying him one hour and hating him the next. Everyone else, it seemed, had chosen a fixed version of his story. The gunshot was a sudden impulse, the gunshot was a calculated rebuke. He slipped over the edge, he was pushed over the edge. He was broken by a battle with depression, he was broken by the sudden loss of love. He was afraid of failure, he was too accustomed to it. He clung too tightly to other people, he didn't know how to reach out for help. The list of explanations was as long as the list of people who'd known him, and each was a simplification, perhaps even a lie.
Not to deflate this writer's balloon, but why did he think his work was done? The perp admitted his guilt -- no guiltless person would stop at lack of memory; he had said that because he didn't know what proof the writer had and feared violence or public exposure too much to deny it outright. So why did the writer not look into what access the perp had to any small children at this point? Even if the perp were childless and worked in a corporation, was he a youth pastor, a scout master, a peewee ball coach? The writer has no reason to blame himself for his brother's death, but if what he wanted was justice, there is plenty left to be wrung out.
Agree with Mike's comment.
The writer's brother would have truly died in vain if the pedophile is not brought to justice. The same "reliable sources" proves that pedophiles have a pattern of doing this not on just one but many children. For the writer to protect the identity of the abuser and bring a touch of bad taste to his brother for being an unwilling victim shows everything that is wrong with our society today.
It just so seems, after reading this article, that perhaps it is better for our male (the females have far much more help: a mere accusation instantly brings legal circus around the male abusers) victims simply turn over and die than be empowered against their abusers.
Reminds me of Anne Enricht's "Gathering", except for the ending that takes the story in a different direction.
Mike and Ben: to report what else he did with the information he had is another essay, another purpose than this essay serves. The author is not writing a 'coming to justice' nor an education piece for victims of abusers. What you both say, that abusers should be reported, even decades after the fact, is all true. What the author did or didn't do in those terms are not part of this narrative.
Of course what the author did/didn't do is part of this narrative. Did you not read to the end? He spends the ultimate paragraph discussing his feeling of release after looking at the perpetrator; clearly the author's impression that "[his] work was done" is meant to operate as the cathartic moment of the essay.
There is room for compassion here, there is room to embrace this grieving man and point him toward groups waiting to give him solace and power to handle this unspeakable thing left only to him. As a group we are charged to want justice and I am convinced it will come more quickly when we lend the man a hand rather than piling on with recriminations. He did not owe us a Chapter Two. I am certain we all encourage him to find the group that will take him through the next steps because he is not alone. I leave it to readers to do their own web search, it will not take long to find the appropriate and welcoming sites. RSD

The Avengers #1 Project: The Ultimates #1
- Written by Royal Nonesuch on Wednesday, June 02 2010 and posted in Reviews
The Avengers #1 Project continues with Royal Nonesuch taking a look at The Ultimates #1!
Credits & Solicit Info:
TITLE: The Ultimates #1
PUBLISHER: Marvel
COVER DATE: March 2002
26 pages
Story: Mark Millar
Pencils: Bryan Hitch
Inks: Andrew Currie
Letterer: Chris Eliopoulos
Colors: Paul Mounts w/Bongotone
Editor: Ralph Macchio
Associate Editor: Brian Smith
Editor in chief: Joe Quesada
President & Inspiration: Bill Jemas
"This coming Monday begins a brand-new chapter in our lives, boys and girls."
The year 2000 marked the start of an interesting time in comics. Changes were afoot, and Marvel Comics was caught right up in it all. One of their biggest and boldest moves was the formation of the Ultimate line of comics, which was created with the mission statement of rebooting Marvel's mainstay characters with a brand new continuity. Basically, "what if The Marvel Universe started today ("today" meaning in the year 2000) rather than in 1961?"
Another change that could be traced back to the early years of the new century came about in the formal way comics were told. Comics had evolved a leaner method of storytelling, one which had taken greater advantage of the long form nature of periodical comic books. This so-called "decompressed" style, as it came to be known largely by the internet commenteratti, was fueled by the notion that a single issue of a comic need not encapsulate the series as a whole, but could in fact be a single piece of a narrative gestalt. It was a style that rewarded reader patience, (or tried it, depending on the commentator).
This is the style utilized by Mark Millar with THE ULTIMATES #1. The modern day reboot of The Avengers came to be known for its modern day cool and cynical hipness (not to mention lengthy delays between issues), but little of that really comes up here in the first issue. In fact, at first glance it looks more like an Ultimate Captain America #1 rather than the first issue of an all-new team book, since the issue focuses so much on Cap on the last day of his participation in World War II. He leads an airborne unit onto a drop zone outside a Nazi stronghold in Iceland. The mission: disable some Nazi super weapon before the Germans are able to deploy it against the US.
The first segment of the story relies heavily on exposition. Millar has the legend of Captain America speak for itself, through war photographer "Bucky" Barnes and another soldier who doesn't believe Cap is in any way useful to the Army outside of a recruitment poster. The dialogue could afford to be a bit more tight and concise, but the meaning is clear and it gets the job done. Several pages into the story, the reader finally gets to see Cap in action. He demonstrates his proficiency in combat tactics when he adjusts the plan of attack after finding holes in the original one, then shows off his bravery by charging right into the Nazi base without hesitation.
Bryan Hitch, whose wide open, cinematic approach to comic book art first turned heads on JLA and The Authority, packs in all of the grittiness and chaos of the most intense battlefield scenes. His famously detailed forgrounds match up well with his impressionistic backgrounds, bringing out panels that are as deep as they are wide. What's interesting about the art team is the how well they illustrate these men straining against their environment. War is as crowded and dimly-lit as it is loud and dirty. The colors approximate such a setting really well. Even that bright, blue, star-spangled sentinel of liberty Captain America is colored with a muted palette in this harsh environment. The only thing that throws the whole thing off is the lettering. The mixed-case lettering had come into vogue with the Ultimate titles, and Chris Eliopolous could have used a less stylized font here. The font used is too playful and undercuts the gravity of the situation.
Millar chose a more grounded, "real-world" approach to the Avengers for this series, and starting it off with a gritty war scenario is a great way to do just that, but there are spots where he will remind readers that this is an action-adventure comic book (for example, when Cap and an unnamed Nazi officer being able to hear each other as they engage in battlefield bragging as rocket engines ignite in the same room!)
The issue takes an interesting turn in its final three issues. These are devoted to Tony Stark on the summit of Mout Everest in the present day. What's remarkable is the economy in the storytelling here. Tony Stark only has three pages devoted to him (two of which are a silent, double-page spread of the Himalayan peaks and a silhouetted Stark), but the reader gets a lot of insight into him. Millar and Hitch convey that Stark is a free-wheeling multi-billionaire with big ideas, and plans to act on them. As to how the World War II scenes relate to the present day epilogue...well the reader is going to have to check out the next issues.

The Lament of a Inside Sales Team: Data, Data Everywhere, though Who's Ready to Buy?
As a MECLABS Research Partnership researcher team, my colleagues and we pronounce with professionals who attend a events (like a subsequent month's MarketingSherpa Email Summit in Las Vegas), squeeze a publications, and wish some-more information about how MECLABS can assistance grow their business. So any day we hear about a hurdles they're facing.
One emanate that surfaces all too mostly is optimizing databases: When we have a database of thousands on thousands of names, how do we assistance your group simply and effectively prioritize who to contact? Nearly any association we speak to does some kind of lead scoring, though frequency do those lead scores align with their database in a approach that allows their sales teams to establish – during a peek – that prospects are a right fit during a right time.
This strike approach too tighten to home. Here during MECLABS, my group was struggling with a same issue. Through events, publications, and ubiquitous inquiry, we supplement hundreds of meddlesome intensity partner inquiries to a database any few weeks, infrequently even thousands. We have an ace IT group that has set adult platforms so we can fast brand who fits a Ideal Partner Profile, and we'd strike them as shortly after they demonstrate seductiveness in a Research Partnership program. We are unequivocally good wakeful of a significance of timeliness for marketers who are struggling to optimize their sales and selling funnels. And we'd follow adult formed on a subsequent movement that was compared with their file.
But it took Brooke Bower, a data-analysis whiz, to assistance a group demeanour during a database from a new perspective, one that would assistance us get a top lapse on a time by focusing on a many earnest intensity partners, as against to merely a many urgent.
What we satisfied was blank was a extensive at-a-glance image that fundamentally shows us a pivotal factors that conclude a successful research-partnership engagement:
- If a particular creation a exploration is a preference builder or an influencer
- How many events a individual, and his team, have attended and publications they've purchased gathered in an simply sortable list
- Their organization's firmographic sum – such as revenue, selling budget, sales cycle and size
We enlisted a IT dialect to supplement fields to a existent height to move together these sum into a singular "opportunity grade" that would be practical to any intensity partner's account. (The judgment of an "opportunity grade" was endorsed to us by Dr. Flint McGlaughlin, Managing Director and CEO of MECLABS.) The aloft a grade, a improved fit for a long-term, vital investigate partnership.
Within only a few days, by a teamwork of IT, selling and sales, we have sorted a database so that it reveals to us that "opportunity grade" for any partner. It wasn't rocket science, only holding a time to ask a tough questions (thanks Brooke), and demeanour during what we do from a uninformed perspective, to give IT a parameters they indispensable to move it all together. This is a plan that will never be completed, of course. We're going to ceaselessly work with Brooke to investigate what qualities make adult a many competent investigate partners and make certain a database can simply and accurately assistance us brand them.
Great formula occur when people and departments with opposite ability sets take time to put their minds together — in this box it was Brooke's information savvy total with my hands-on knowledge articulate to intensity Research Partners about their challenges.
I'd unequivocally like to hear about your practice in building a database that helps we rivet some-more well and effectively. we acquire we to share them in a comments.

Celebrities Estranged From Their Parents
While many celebrities attribute their success to their familial support system, these celebrities have been estranged from members of their family. Check out this list of celebrities estranged from their parents and even some of their offspring.
Kelly Rowland
Kelly Rowland has not seen or spoken to her father since she was seven. Growing up, Rowland's father had a drinking problem and a bad temper which led to Rowland's mother leaving him. In 2011, he pleaded for reconciliation with Rowland, but she has yet to speak to him.
Wendy Williams Has On-Air Breakdown: 'My Son Doesn't Like Me Anymore'
Children go through many phases and unfortunately, those phases sometimes include the child favoring one parent over the other. In Wendy Williams' son, Kevin Hunter Jr.'s case, the favored parent appears to be his father, Kevin Hunter Sr. This of course, could be fairly hurtful and difficult to cope with for the odd parent out and our girl Wendy isn't handling it well at all.
While discussing Madonna's son Rocco's fondness for his mom, Wendy broke down on-air about her own suffering relationship with "little" Kev.
"Rocco is 13 years old and Rocco is a real fan of his mother," Wendy said before making her emotional confession. "What I discovered this weekend is my son doesn't like me anymore."
Though her initial statement sounded a bit outlandish, she went on to offer a reasonable explanation.
"I know what it is, I know how it is. I don't have my period," she said before reaching for a tissue. "I discovered this a while ago, but the ball just got smacked home this weekend. You know, he's all into his father.
"He's a father, he's a buddy, they talk sneakers, they go for hair cuts, they speed off in the cars and I'm just left there feeling like, 'Why you so pissed?' I'm not pissed, I'm a mom!'"
"You know how 13-year-olds are. I was the same way when I was 13, but it is breaking my heart."
She also took advantage of the opportunity to emphasize the importance of fathers in the lives of their children.
"At this time, I can't understand men who disappear from their kids' lives. Thank God he has his buddy, and father."
Bringing it all back to Madonna and Rocco, Wendy expressed that Madonna is "lucky" to have a 13-year-old son who "likes her."
"Anyway, she's lucky he likes her."
Though Wendy can be really hard on folks at times, it's difficult not to feel for her.
Watch Wendy's emotional confession on the next page. Do you think she's overreacting?
10 Months After Giving Birth, Tamera Mowry-Housley Is Already Discussing Baby No. 2
It hasn't even been a year since Tamera Mowry-Housley gave birth to her adorable son, Aden, and she's already making plans for baby number two.
"I am planning on having a second baby. My doula says the 10-month spot is the sweet spot because I'm having so much fun with my son. He sleeps through the night; he's mobile, but not to the point where he's breaking my back. That's usually the time that people are like, 'Okay, I'm ready for No. 2.' That's where I am right now," the 35-year-old first time mom told OK! magazine.
She went on to say that if she is lucky enough to conceive twins this time, she would be thankful, but added that twins can be quite a handful.
"If I was blessed with twins, of course, I would be very grateful and very happy. However, having twins is a lot of work, so I physically—or mentally—can't imagine taking care of two at the same time."
Being a twin herself, Tamera also offered advice for anyone who may be raising twins, regarding the importance of individuality.
"It's a lot of work. Make sure that people don't see them as one person…It's important to realize that they may look alike… and they may have come out at the same time, but they're individuals. Treat them that way."
Those Mowry girls love being moms, that's for sure!

"You keep it under wraps because you just don't know whatever's going to happen, you know what I mean? I think I've been keeping it under wraps for so long that when it hit the fan it was like, 'AHHH!'"
The model-turned-actress also revealed that she even hid her pregnancy from her friends.
"Everybody [was shocked]. I mean, all of my friends. I haven't told anyone, so everyone sort of found out altogether last week."
When it comes to what kind of parent she'll be, Eva says she'll definitely be protective of her new bundle.
"I think I'll definitely be overprotective. And a very fashionable mom."
As for the daddy-to-be, Eva predicts he'll be a loving father.
"He'll be a doting father."
The beautiful couple also dished on plans for the nursery, which will be rockstar-themed. Eva remained mum on the sex of the baby though. I guess we'll have to wait a few more months for that.
Congrats to the lovely couple!

For a lot of people gardens are the perfect places to go and relax and enjoy a great bit of sunshine. They are a gateway between the urban environment you live in and the countryside. Full of nature but also immaculately designed, the grass is cut perfectly and the beds are full of beautiful flowers. What else could your garden offer you? What could you install that would make your neighbours jealous? Well, how about a feature pond?
Feature ponds are the perfect focal point for any garden. The most important thing is to design carefully. The pond does not need to be too big that the rest of the beds and lawn disappear, but needs to have enough gravitas in the garden to draw the eye. Building a pond does not take too much effort as long as you follow some simple rules. These include sensibly locating the pond, purchasing a pond liner and also having an adequate pond pump and filter. These are all available from most reputable online pond stores such as Swell UK. Pond pumps and filters clean the water and keep it regularly circulated to prevent the pond from becoming stagnant.
Once your pond is in place you need to look at the surrounding areas. The pond needs to fit in as naturally as possible; otherwise it will look like a planted swimming pool! Creating an irregular shaped pond is probably best to get around this, and then to create steps and varying levels in and around the water. The steps within the water allow the planting of marginal plants. This provides a neat divide between the deep water and the shoreline. Great plants for this include different types of rushes; though you do need to make sure that the larger ones are at the back and the smaller ones at the front - you still want to be able to see any deep water plants such as water lilies which are typically low growing.
On the shoreline you can choose a variety of methods to integrate with the rest of your garden. For a more formal layout in the rest of the garden, some nice stones and flags around the edge can provide a distinct edge. You can then place pots onto the flags to add a burst of colour. The alternative is to plant up to the water to create the most natural feel for your pond. Some perfect plants that enjoy the damp soil around a pond are hostas and hemerocallis. Hostas are perfect leafy plants that come in a variety of sizes from mini to giant. Some decent size ones will look great next to the pond. Ferns can also be a great addition, though they will need regular digging up to prevent too much spread to the rest of the garden. For the sunnier side of the pond grasses and irises are perfect. With the many varieties available you can find most sizes, and most will bush out enough to not look like there are any gaps.
It is important to keep the pond pump and filter out of sight, and also any wires. Wires can be buried in the soil or under grass between your power source and the pond pump and filter. The filter and pump cannot be buried but you can place flags around them and over the top, or you can plant next to them. You need to make sure they are still accessible for maintenance or if there is a fault, and you need to ensure that any plants do not hinder the air and water circulation with their foliage.
Feature ponds make the perfect addition to your garden and you can theme them in any way you choose. Some popular themes are Japanese or English country garden. With the right planting a water feature can be the crowning glory in your garden and the envy of your neighbours.
Dear Friends and Followers. Lets meet in real life. Join in : 24/9 at 1PM Trends and Innovation seminar @landscapeevent So much design news!— The Outdoor Stylist(@OutdoorStylist) May 23, 2013
