How to start a vegetable patch
Ben Crystall
If the thought of fresh broccoli or crisp carrots picked from your own garden appeals, then it's time to try growing your own food. Sounds like tough work? Don't worry - it's not all hard labour, and you won't simply end up filling great-looking beds with grubby old veggies. These days, home-grown food is suprisingly easy to produce and you won't even need to compromise on the appearance of your garden either: veggies that taste good can look brilliant too.
What to grow and where
There are two key decisions to make before you can begin planting. First, ask yourself how much space you should dedicate to a veg patch. Second, decide what kind of things you want to grow. Courgettes or cauliflowers, for instance, will take up a lot more space than carrots or onions, though typically a spot about four feet square is fine for most purposes. If you have kids and are keen to get them involved, perhaps try giving each of them their own plot and turn it into a competition to grow the biggest, or smallest plants?
Don't forget to make the most of walls and fences for growing climbers such as beans and peas. And don't create a monoculture - try growing a mix of veg, herbs and flowers. Experienced gardeners have discovered that mixing crops together seems to help protect against pests, and this way you'll soon find which kinds of plants do well and which ones struggle. You'll also find that your veggie patch won't just taste good - it will be ornamental too!
Sort out your soil
Sticky clay or wind-blown sand - whatever kind of soil you have, if you want to grow jumbo veggies you'll need to enrich it somehow. Rather than adding artificial fertiliser, you are better off digging in well-rotted horse manure: this will do wonders for your crop as the nitrogen, potassium and phosophorus it contains are just the thing for fast-growing, healthy plants. Plus manure gives gardeners a double whammy - it helps preserve moisture in sandy soils and improves drainage in clay.
Ben Crystall
Adding manure isn't precision chemistry. As a general guide, add one bucket full of material to every square yard of soil. But make sure it has rotted for at least six months before growing veg on the plot or plant roots can be damaged.
Protect your plants
Whether you plan to plant seeds or buy small "plug" plants, to get them off to the best start you may want to raise them on a sunny window sill, or in a small greenhouse or coldframe. Alternatvely simply pop a "cloche" made from a cut-off plastic drinks bottle over the seedling and this should help protect it from chilly nights.
Then there are garden pests to think about: after all, don't let others enjoy the fruits of your labour before you get a chance to do so yourself. While hungry slugs and snails are the mortal enemy of the veg grower, some crops are more vulnerable than others. Veg in the brassica family, for example, are preyed on by the cabbage white butterfly, and carrots have their own particular nemesis: the tiny carrot fly. One way to avoid this little monster is to grow your carrots a few feet off the ground in a raised bed - amazingly, the carrot flies won't find them!
Ben Crystall
Pest control the natural way
Whatever you grow, get yourself a good guide to pests and diseases, and watch for the first signs of attack. Pick off caterpillars when they appear and collect slugs and snails last thing at night. You might also want to think about using netting to keep birds away. Adding fragrant plants such as marigolds or rosemary among your veg also seems to help put off the pests. And rather than throwing down slug pellets, use natural forms of pest control such as nematodes (roundworms - slugs' natural enemy) - these deadly assassins will wipe out those slimey visitors in a few days.
Small is beautiful
Even the smallest garden can create a healthy crop of delicous food. And the truth is that your plot doesn't have to take up a lot of space - as long as the plants get plenty of sun you can stuff veg and herbs into pots, window boxes or even hanging baskets. This kind of container gardening is particularly suitable for salad crops or dwarf varities such as dwarf leeks and aubergines, for instance. But wherever you plant, tend your patch well and in a matter of weeks you will be enjoying your own freshly picked veg.

Marshawn Lynch posted on Facebook that he won the appeal of his $50,000 fine on Wednesday. He was handed the fine by the NFL last week for violating league rules of not speaking to the media during the regular season.
Lynch's Facebook featured this post:
To all the 12s I appreciate your support. Wanted you to know I appealed the fine & won, but I'm still going to match all donations made at http://www.gofundme.com/626xk0 & donate it to a local Seattle charity. Thanks to Loren Summers for starting the site, we've talked & after the deadline, even if $50k isn't met & all contributions are given back, I'll donate the matched total # anyway. #12thman#Seahawks#BeastMode
As of 5 p.m. PT on Wednesday, fans had raised $17,661 on the website. If Lynch matches that total like he says he will, more than $35,000 will be donated to a charity.
No further specifics were immediately clear regarding Lynch's appeal. However, Terry Blount at ESPN.com said that Lynch is expected to speak with the media on a weekly basis while the Seahawks are in the playoffs.
If Lynch does not talk to the media this week, it is likely that the fine will be reinstated.
ProFootballTalk noted that NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said Lynch didn't really "win" the appeal:
Per NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy, league executive V.P. of football operations Ray Anderson decided to delay collection of the $50,000 in exchange for Lynch's commitment to comply with the league's policy regarding media availability. Any further violation by Lynch will result in the NFL taking the $50,000 and imposing another $50,000 fine.
According to that statement, if Lynch disregards the media again, he could be fined as much as $100,000.
Lynch is currently in the second year of a four-year, $31 million contract. He is going to make $7 million this year alone.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
"I am on a drug. It's called Charlie Sheen. It's not available. If you try it once, you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded party."
And back to the Jersey Shore!
Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino has checked out of Cirque Lodge rehab in Utah where he received treatment for
gym tan and laundry substance abuse.
Taping for the new "Jersey Shore" season starts soon, rumor has it MTV is trying to phase out Situation and Snooki since one is pregnant, and the other is too much of a liability when he's shit faced (which is everyday)
Do YOU think The Situation will be able to stay clean in the "Jersey Shore" house if he stays? Will YOU continue to watch the show if Snooki and The Situation are gone?
Instead of boobs, shouldn't they put money away for their children?
RadarOnline is reporting MTV is begging their "Teen Mom" stars to HOLD OFF on breast enhancements. An MTV source tells Star magazine, "the network is peeved at the sexed-up image the young mothers are putting out with their new and improved busts."
I wonder what image MTV is projecting, If you get on "Teen Mom" you'd be able to pay for new titties? The MTV source also mentioned, "MTV has an idea of how they want the girls to come off and big fake boobs isn't it," … "They've even called the other girls and begged them to hold off on surgery."
The full story is in the current issue of Star magazine.
Do YOU think these mothers should be saving money for their children, or is it alright then "Teen Moms" are getting boob jobs?
"Who was the greatest prostitute in history? Ms.Pacman, for 25 cents that b*tch swalled balls till she died."
-Will Ferrell on the greatest prostitute in history.
Now THIS is a sequel we've been waiting for!
After it's original release over 15 years ago, director Peter Farrelly announced there WILL be a sequel to "Dumb and Dumber"!
Please, do NOT get this mixed up with the "spin-off" movie "Dumb and Dumberer" which had none of the original cast or directors. This will be a true sequel which will star BOTH Jeff Bridges AND Jim Carrey.
Carrey needs a hit movie, within the past 15 years I can only think of a couple, most recently (and best post "Dumb and Dumber") "I Love You Phillip Morris".
The sequel will begin shooting in September!
Are YOU excited for a TRUE "Dumb and Dumber" sequel?
Oh, only in court…
Kim Kardashian seems like hypocrite these days. The reality star didn't have an issue to have her wedding, and marriage crumble on camera, but Kardashian DOES NOT want cameras in the courtroom during their divorce trail.
This is strange, I feel as if a camera is with Kim at all times of the day, when she wakes up, shops, takes a crap, it seems Kim can't be ANYWHERE without a camera.
Makes us wonder what she DOES NOT want to public to find out.
A source close to ex-husband Kris Humphries made a comment on the situation, "What is Kim so afraid of? For someone that has filmed and documented her life for her reality shows you wouldn't think she is going to fight so hard to not have camera there. Kris just wants the truth to come out about what happened during their marriage, period. Kris' attorney will argue that cameras should be in the courtroom because Kim has chosen to live her life in the public eye, and the divorce trail shouldn't be off limits."
I must say I agree, Kim, just a reminder, YOU GOT FAMOUS BECAUSE OF A VIDEO CAMERA AND YOUR BIG ASS. I am surprised she isn't trying to put this on her reality show or E! isn't trying to make this a 2-hour special.
Do YOU think Kim is trying to hide something from the public? What do YOU think it is?
Is this a way to get over not smoking marijuana Jenelle?
"Teen Mom 2" star and deadbeat mother Jenelle Evans has a new drug and a new motto: "Tune on, tune in, drop out."
close friend "friend" who needed some cash, Tori Rhyne spoke to Star magazine about her drug use. "She does it a lot — she fell in love with it" … "It's just a little sheet that she puts on her tongue and waits for it to hit her: Then she gets all weird."
Evans is currently drug tested for marijuana, so to avoid jail time Evans not only takes acid, but also Ecstasy, Xanax, Adderall and gets shit faced wasted.
Evans needs to take a reality pill and try to remember she has a son, isn't that why she got "famous" to begin with?
Rhyne also said Evans cannot wait to "smoke a big blunt" once she's off probation.
I've said this for a while now but what do YOU think? Should Evans be locked in jail and key thrown away?
"People always go, 'private schools create better citizens', but I would say that create better quality citizen. Studies have shown that students from private schools are more likely to get into uni and end up making a lot more money, while wife-beaters and rapists are nearly all public school educated. Sorry, no offense, but it's true."
-Ja'mie King on why private school students are better citizens.
I wish I could be girlfriends with Ja'mie King.
If somebody isn't getting voted off or losing weight, I'm most likely not watching it. Unless if you're Ja'mie King, Jonah Takalua, or Mr.G from "Summer Heights High".
The australian high school comedy, was one of the best television shows HBO ever had. Chris Lilley is a comedic genius, all of his characters were pure gold, especially private school transfer student, Ja'mie King.
I just purchased the whole series on my iPhone, and haven't stopped watching sense, check out some of my favorite "Summer Heights High" quotes below.
"Wife beaters and rapists are nearly all public-school educated. Sorry. no offense but it's true." -Ja'mie King
"We used to have bushes here, but a girl got raped behind them so we took them away, yep no more bushes…." - Mr.G
"Teacher's at this school are so racist. If anything goes wrong, if something goes missing they go 'Jonah must have fuckin' done some shit'". - Jonah Takalua
"Celine has an oversized brain" - Mr.G on why his dog has a big head.
This isn't setting a good example for your baby you think?
"Teen Mom 2" star, Chelsea Houska, bailed out baby daddy, Adam Lind, Saturday morning in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Lind was charged with driving under the influence, exhibition driving, and driving on a suspended license.
WHY Chelsea? If you've watched the show, Lind is
father of the year an obnoxious douche, but she always seems to crawl back to him.
Houska dropped $450 to bail out the deadbeat dad.
Would YOU have bailed out the deadbeat baby daddy? What would YOU have done?

"The best description for this new novel from Miranda Neville is wonderfully adorable. The spirit, the joie-de-vivre, and the wit make the dialogue sparkle and the characters pop... Readers looking to be delighted won't have to look any further than this novel." Kate Cuthbert for the New York Journal of Books.
"Neville scores big with this mix of hilarity, mystery, and passion." Publishers Weekly
"Ms Neville has me on the edge of my seat as I "flipped" the pages frantically on my iphone, and as I read with bated breath to see how Celia's and Tarquin's romance would be resolved. She has created unexpectedly endearing characters that stole my heart and a fun, refreshing story in a popular genre. You can bet I look forward to Ms Neville's future offerings." Ashia for The Romance Reviews. 5 stars, Top Pick.
"The Burgundy Club has become one of my favorite series because of Neville's superb characterization and her ability to bring a freshness to a subgenre that often suffers from the affliction of sameoldness. The Amorous Education of Celia Seaton—it is funny, tender, with the spice of difference—and did I say hot? I give it a bells-and-whistles recommendation." Just Janga. 5 stars
"The Amorous Education of Celia Seaton is a book as good as its title, a terrific addition to Miranda Neville's Burgundy Club series." Sonomalass's Blog
"THE AMOROUS EDUCATION OF CELIA SEATON was as funny as it was romantic …. I enjoyed the writing style, the characters, and the story. An enchanting tale that had me laughing right along with the characters." Fresh Fiction
"A witty, interesting, trope-busting read … There is so much I admire and appreciate about the craftsmanship and a great deal that entertained me in a fresh, unexpected way. The way the different tropes play on surface v. substance and appearance v. reality, for example, and illuminate the different prisms through which people view themselves and each other. In some ways it is light, but not in the way of wallpaper historicals or straight romps; the light is emitted from the effervescent voice and prose." Janet for Dear Author (B+)

Your dog may be more than your best friend, he could be your ticket to weight loss.
A study at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago looked at overweight people and their overweight dogs. In the study, pet owners were given nutritional and exercise guidance that included a walking program with their dogs. By the end of the first four months of the study, people lost an average of 11 pounds and dogs lost an average of 12 pounds. Both the people and their pets were able to sustain the weight loss for one year.
Researchers say walking with your dog solves two problems because as America grows our pets are also facing a growing obesity epidemic.

A Soft Answer Turns Away Wrath
- Monday, March 19, 2012
Most of us long to be treated tenderly. We long to be nurtured, cared about and treated respectfully. In our busy lives we often forget to speak kindly to our mate, and our harshness is felt like sandpaper against our tender skin. Scripture tells us "A soft answer turns away wrath." (Proverbs 15:1) Try using tenderness and kindness, even in the face of adversity with your mate. Notice the positive impact.

IF TRUE..ERE COMES TROUBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!MILITARY PERSONELL ARE BEING INFORMED AND SUPPOSEDLY ARE BEING MADE TO SIGN NON DISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS....WARN FRIENDS FAMILY ETC...SAVE LIVES. Informants tell him about Nibiru is incoming and will pass Earth by 5-10 earth diameters at it's closest soon (He gives dates). So about as far as the moon and this will cause many earthquakes.
Living in New Zealand, we sit on a tectonic plate, thus getting Christchurch all shook up recently with ongoing tectonic activity as well as White Island picking up activity a couple of days ago and Mt. Tongariro erupting last night.
I wonder if the incoming body is causing this uptick in geological activity and whether this prediction has anything to do with it.

Fem-Boy... not so much
Fem-Lady-Boy or Fem-Cross-Dresser.... HELL YES!
Not at all.I like men who look like men THAT said if the fem boy had a gorgeous cock,I would suck it.
REAL men (not literally/generally speaking, obviously) like feminine looks and qualities in a guy. Guys who think that they are so-called "masculine" and who dislikes feminine guys are, in fact, in the same category as them without realizing it. That's how "we" feminines see it. Ha, now what!
If you're going to be sexy in a photo, you'd better be thinking about sex.
I like androgyny in both males and females.
Didn't think my thread would survive this long I guess this topic is always interesting. I've found that feminine men can be appealing to other guys (straight and gay) but I'm only talking about guys who dress like men but have feminine personality traits and some mannerisms, not guys that dress like girls (I really don't know about that one yet). I'm going through a phase where I'm finding out that I have very androgynous personality traits and I wanna start looking more androgynous...I'm letting my hair grow and pierced my ears. So I guess in a few months I'll be able to tell you my own experience.

Pandora's triumphant earnings
Advertisers and listeners are showing increasing interest in the online radio company.
By Katey Stapleton, Benzinga Staff Writer
Pandora Media (P) has proven its fine-tuned worth with an excellent start to its 2013 fiscal year. With revenue growth of 58% in the past year, the online radio company has positioned itself for continued development and success in the coming months.
Pandora said it now has 51.9 million users, a 53% increase from a year earlier. With such large strides being taken in such a short amount of time, it is no wonder that CEO Joe Kennedy is over the moon.
"Consumers continue to embrace Pandora's unparalleled personalized radio experience at an extraordinary rate, propelling Pandora's market leadership to an all-time record share of 5.95% of total U.S. radio listening," Kennedy said in a statement Thursday.
Even repetitive, frequent commercial interruptions aren't driving listeners away from Pandora's popular randomized stations. In turn, this has prompted advertisers to take notice and pay top dollar to be featured on the digital airwaves.
According to Kennedy, promoters want to be where consumers are. As such, they are trying to get their messages across quickly and efficiently using Pandora as a medium. With a 71.7% share of the top 20 U.S. Internet radio services, who wouldn't want to advertise on Pandora?
Management increased guidance for the full year, forecasting revenue expected in the range of $420 million to $427 million. For the upcoming quarter alone, sales are projected to reach between $99 million to $101 million.
Pandora closed Thursday up more than 12% to $11.60. The stock is up more than 15% this year.
More from Benzinga
Facebook is a new niche market with 1 billion and growing user base. It's adding hundreds of new applications every day and its potentials are limitless. For instance, major corporations are using it to advertise through its friend bases and special news or deals. As its friends grow, the fortune 500 corporations can show its own popularity in its market. For purposes of political or social movement, it's being used as gathering place in virtual space. In recent past, lots of countries gained freedom through Facebook and toppled dictators. It's just amazing. You can start a church or school or any type of business can have free web site through this service. Its potentials are endless.
Don't judge it by its trading results over just few days. Entire economy seems to be down last few weeks over Iran oil embargo and Greece economic crisis. Truly I wish global economy doesn't depend on Greece. It's just side effects of economic condition such as Greece and embargo on Iraq Oil dragging down entire economy gravely concerns me. FB chose bad time for its IPO.
Stock value doesn't always reflect a company's real value. Day trader's vision shouldn't distort and fool all of us. I'm neither employee nor have bought one stock of FB. We should look at the real value of this company for it's true worth before short visions destroy this company.
No I didn't get paid to write this. Facebook is such a wonderful company. And I didn't even mentioned it's still free and it's original function of social website where you can make lots of friends.

Time consuming with all that chopping of herbs... But the outcome was tasty. I used mung bean noodles instead of rice, which I thought was fine. Dave thought it would be better as a soup and with a little more evenly distributed spice and salt. I will make again, but seemed more appropriate as an appetizer (a lot of work for that!).

Made the salad & dressing to recipe but doubled the amount of rice stick noodles. Served with CL's Thai Shrimp Cakes rather than the grilled prawns. Very good.

dear white people, hip-hop will not be gentrified.
trying to hold back the vomit here guys. as if self appointing himself spokesman for gay rights and having gay couples as background props for his performance wasn't bad enough…
i need the album now!!!
oh god i love him so much!
anyone else think it sounds a bit like 'rock & roll christmas'? in a good way of course…
i find it really weird that it's called molly in the states, here in the uk we call her mandy.
we are not lions orcas or baboons. also, gorillas are vegans.
your point?
she's completely right! as if every vegan has never EVER touched animal products since going vegan…
i believe in veganism and i think it's great, i was vegan for a year and loved it but at the mo i am just a veggie, i hate that some asshole vegans would make me feel bad about that.
her other songs are nothing like KP, although i admit this one has a very KP-esque jaunt to it.
her usual stuff is ever so slightly more left field influenced i think.

Across The Universe.
May 12, 2014
Some say that love has a way of making life seem a whole lot prettier. I was rehearsing, yet again, for another presentation tomorrow and I said to myself, I need to write this down. I've always been pretty clear about what I want in my other half, but at some point, I decided to just let it come and for once try to expect nothing. I know its still fairly early to conclude, but he must have been doing something right to make me feel this way. I'm just really happy because I'm gonna be done with masters and will be travelling quite a bit this year. I'm trying my very best not to jinx anything, but just thought I'd pen this down in case I look back and wonder.
Thank you for always trying to be there for me, being the oh-so supportive pillar. To make plans according to my timezone, just so you can squeeze in time after a long day at work to have a couple of hours with me. To call me at random times throughout the day just because I'm vaguely mentioned once that sometimes I get lonely (mainly coz I miss home). Knowing that you really listen to my complaints, I know I tend to ramble about all sort of nonsense but you somehow managed to pick up the main issue on what's bothering me and fix it. Like some superhero yknow. I love how we're so ridiculously hilarious together because all we do is laugh at absolutely everything and anything.
I don't get why you think I'm so funny, why would you even laugh when I'm crying about stress from work. I sent him an image of Blackmores' Stress and Anxiety relieve bottle, because I tend to get chest pains towards the end of semester due to stress. He told me over a phone call saying, "I will call you throughout the day, even if its a short 5 minutes call just to make sure you don't get too stressed up. And it's okay to ignore my phone calls if it gets too annoying." LOL. I love how you really see me for who I am. I've always been critical when it comes to questioning what others see in me, that's usually how I gauge people, based on what they observe. People always choose to see what they want to see, and that's one way of understanding a person's view point on things. So, what I adore most about him? Unlike me, he doesn't fire me with an essay or a love poem, but he has his way of saying things at the most unexpected times in the most unexpected way!
I love that you're such a smiley person like me! It's like a freaking Colgate-ad face off whenever we talk. Hello lets see who can hold the longest smile with our teeths going EEEE…EEE. The winner is pretty damn obvious. I love that I don't feel the need to question his intentions or get provoked over small issues because I tend to over analyze things. It is in my nature to observe and understand things from different perspectives. So for this instance, this is definitely the most 'stable' I've been over the years. No crazy late night fights because he's so composed when it comes to dealing with me and my emotions. The combustion usually ends with sparkly dust floating in the air. It's true yknow, when they say that the people in your life plays a great role in influencing and shaping the way you look at life. I'm seeing things in much more positive way lately.
As the matter in fact, I HAD A ROMANTIC weekend. It was just me preparing this huge bag of presents and I made aglio olio pasta at 4am just so I can get my friend to deliver it back home to Malaysia within the same day. A pasta delivered via Air Asia flown 8 hours from Melbourne to Kuala Lumpur. I'm not sure how can I express this odd urge to be hopelessly romantic, but its not something I do very often. Some say that opposites attract. Some say that you need similarities to stay together. Based on my own experience, I'd say both! In my humble opinion, I personally enjoy the never ending learning process and that keeps me interested. You need that common ground i.e. similar family upbringing, hobbies, interest, and you definitely need to want the same thing at the same time in order to make anything happen. Timing is EVERYTHING. It can make and break any relationship. I love someone who shares the same hunger for a better version of ourselves. I love that he understands why I do what I do, and gives me his full support in pursuing my dreams. I love his humility and the way one deals with people on a daily basis. I love it when someone doesn't try too hard or seem like they know it all.
It's okay to not know it all. And hell yeah its absolutely okay to make mistakes. Just learn from it and get better.
Anyway, I can't wait to be home!!!

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Capping a pretty perfect postseason, Joe Flacco completed 22 of 33 passes for 287 yards and three first-half touchdowns Sunday to earn Super Bowl MVP honors for leading the Baltimore Ravens to a 34-31 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
Flacco became only the sixth quarterback in 47 Super Bowls to throw for three scores in a first half, connecting with Anquan Boldin for 13 yards, Dennis Pitta for 1, and Jacoby Jones for 56.
And the unassuming guy who played his college football at Delaware finished Baltimore's four-game run to the title with 11 TD passes and zero interceptions. It was an impressive run that included road victories against two of the game's best QBs, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.

If your household water or well water is contaminated with iron and/or manganese, chances are you will know it.
Rust colored stains on your fixtures and clothing, bad tasting and/or smelling water, and maybe even sludge growing
in your toilet tank can all be signs that you have a problem with iron and/or manganese in one form or another.
Regulatory bodies who deal with water issues classify iron and manganese as "secondary" contaminants - those that do
not pose a direct health risk, but instead create problems due to unpleasant odors, tastes, and colors, etc.
Authorities suggest that for ideal comfort and convenience, water with contaminant levels of more than 0.3 ppm (mg/l)
of iron or more than 0.05 ppm (mg/l) of manganese should be treated.
Elevated levels of iron and manganese can affect the flavor and color of water and the food that is cooked in it.
They will react with the tannins in tea, coffee and some alcoholic beverages to product a black sludge that will affect
both the taste and appearance of these beverages.
Iron will often cause yellow to reddish-brown staining of laundry, porcelain, dishes, utensils and glassware. Manganese
will cause similar problems, but results in brownish-black staining. These stains are difficult to remove with common
cleaners, and bleach and alkaline cleaners can actually intensify them.
Iron and manganese can build up in pipelines, pressure tanks, water heaters and water softeners - decreasing the available water pressure and increasing the cost of operating these appliances.
Iron or manganese bacteria can also cause problems in your household. While these bacteria pose no direct threat to
health, they do produce a red-brown (iron) or black-brown (manganese) slime that can accumulate in toilet tanks, pipes
or other appliances and clog your water system. Another unpleasant side-effect of the presence of iron/manganese bacteria
is that they often create hydrogen sulfide as a by-product - giving water an unpleasant "rotten eggs" odor.
There are different varieties of iron and manganese that can be present in your household water supply. Each of
these types must be considered separately, as treatment will be different for each. It should be noted that manganese
is also common in residential water supplies and is usually found in conjunction with iron. It is found in the same forms
as iron, and generally treated using the same methods.
This is the most common type of iron (and manganese) found in domestic water sources. It is also called
"clear water iron" because coming out of the tap, the water will look clear and clean (not discolored as it will with
insoluble iron or manganese). If you leave the glass of water for 20 minutes to an hour however, you will notice a
colored precipitate which will eventually settle on the bottom. This is the iron and/or manganese turning back into its insoluble form after coming into contact with oxygen in the air.
Ferric iron is simply iron that has already oxidized (rusted) - it can fe readily seen sue to the discoloration of the water or due the presence of tiny granuales of "rust" in the water. Although not as common as it's soluble counterpart, insoluble iron can cause serious problems to those who are afflicted with it.
** Soluble and insoluble iron can often both be found together in a given water sample.
Iron/Manganese Bacteria
As previously mentioned, iron or manganese bacteria are commonly present in water supplies with large
concentrations of iron, manganese or sometimes calcium present. These bacteria feed on iron or manganese in
the water (and in iron pipes, etc) and produce reddish brown, yellowish or black-brown (with manganese) slime
that accumulates in toilet tanks and in water pipes and appliances. The offensive sludge can also create hydrogen
sulfide, a compound that gives water an unpleasant "rotten eggs" odor that must be dealt with.
If you suspect that you have a problem with iron or manganese in your household water, your first step is to have
the water tested. Test results should let you know the extent of your iron problem, the types of contaminant present,
and the quantities in which those contaminants are present, pH, alkalinity and hardness. Once you have this information,
you can begin to work out the best way to treat your problem.
Again, ideally iron levels should be below 0.3 ppm (or mg/l) and manganese levels should be below 0.05 ppm (or mg/l).

You should try CLCBPT. I use both healbot and CLCBPT, and CLCBPT is great for managing your four buffs. About 1-2 secs (I think its configurable) before your buffs run out it'll play a sound and show the image at like 5 times the size near the middle of your screen (Again all this is configurable I believe).

Atlantic: How the World Could—And Maybe Should—Intervene in Syria
Anne-Marie Slaughter on the case for R2P in Syria:
Last week the Carnegie Corporation, the Stanley Foundation, and the MacArthur Foundation sponsored a terrific conference on the next decade of R2P. Panel members discussed the pros and cons of R2P interventions to date and what we might expect in the future. During the question period after the second morning panel, former International Criminal Court Prosecutor and current International Crisis Group President Louise Arbour said that she agreed with Gareth Evans' (the former Australian foreign minister and a member of the original commission that gave rise to R2P) analysis that the preconditions for an R2P intervention in Syria were not met. Arbour said that, in terms of the magnitude of the crimes being committed in Syria (over 5,000 deaths, destruction of opposition towns) and the lack of effective alternatives other than force, the threshold for an R2P intervention was met. But she said an intervention in Syria failed the third criterion, whether intervention would do more good than harm.
I disagree with Arbour's assessment, if in fact the conditions I spelled out above could be met. But that's not the point. She made the further point that if the international community is NOT going to intervene, then R2P includes the responsibility to tell protesters on the ground that help will not be forthcoming, so that they can make their own plans accordingly. Arbour is right. But then the U.S., Turkish, and other governments saying that Assad's fall is "just a matter of time" must be prepared to answer the question posed by protesters in the picture below honestly: "we won't be coming." But then we must also be prepared to face the consequences. In a recent Al Jazeera report, the source of the photo at the top of this page, reporter Zeina Khodr quoted one opposition figure as saying that Syria will descend into "endless chaos."

of Breeding Terms
by Jane Henning
BROODMARE SIRE Also known as the damsire –
the sire of the dam of a horse, or maternal
BY A horse is 'by' a certain sire
– this term is never used for the dam.
CATALOGUE-STYLE PEDIGREE A pedigree set out
as in a sales catalogue – usually with
a tabulated pedigree at the top, a description
of the sire's achievements at stud, and
then detailed information on the dam and her
race record, other progeny etc. The second and
third dams (and depending on room, sometimes
more if there isn't much to say about
the family!) are also detailed.
COLT A male under the age of four years which
has not been gelded.
CROSS Usually refers to a particular cross of
sire over broodmare sire. For instance, Nothin'
Leica Dane and Brackenbury are both bred on
a Danehill (sire) / Sir Tristram (broodmare
sire) cross.
DAM Mother of a horse.
DAMSIRE Also known as the broodmare sire –
the sire of the dam of a horse, or maternal
DISTAFF The female or dam's side of the
ENTIRE Male horse over three years old which
has not been castrated, also known as a stallion.
FAMILY NUMBER Family numbers were developed
by the Australian Bruce Lowe earlier this last
century. Family number 1 had produced the highest
number of English Classic race winners, while
Family 42 had produced the least. While the
system has been found to be severely defective
(for instance, he did not consider horses racing
the U.S.A.), the family number system is useful
to line breeders, who use the family number
to help identify horses tracing to the same
taproot mares. Family numbers are passed on
through the tail female line – a stallion
cannot pass his family number on to his progeny.
FILLY A female under the age of four years.
FIRST DAM The dam or mother of a horse.
FIVE EIGHTHS SISTER / BROTHER Where five of
the eight great-grandparents are the same as
those of another horse.
FOAL The offspring of a dam. The foaling season
for Thoroughbreds officially commences on 1st
August each year. Foals born on or after that
date officially turn one year old (yearlings)
on the following 1st August.
FROM A horse is 'from' or 'out
of' a certain dam – these terms
are never used for the sire.
FULL SISTER / BROTHER A horse by the same sire
and same dam.
FULL SISTER / BROTHER IN-BLOOD A horse whose
four grandparents are exactly the same as another
horse – even though one or both of the
actual parents are not the same, but are full
sister or brother to the parent/s of the other
GELDING A male horse which has been castrated.
Gelding is usually performed in a horse's
second or third year, but it can be carried
out from a very early age. Reasons for gelding
include unruly behaviour, lack of concentration
on raceday activities and excess body weight
(stallions generally carry more body fat than
geldings or mares and consequently place more
pressure on their legs).
HALF SISTER / BROTHER A horse from the same
dam. A horse by the same sire is not termed
a 'relation' – it is referred
to only as being 'by the same sire'.
This is because a stallion may have 100-odd
progeny every year for many years, whereas most
mares will only have 10 or so foals in their
lifetime, making the relationship more relevant.
INBREEDING Mating a mare to a stallion who carries
the same individual within the first three generations
is 'inbreeding' to that individual.
For example, Danehill is inbred to Natalma,
who appears on the second remove of his sire
and the second remove of his dam. As a product
of that mating, Danehill is said to be inbred
3 x 3 to Natalma. To give even more detail to
this description, Danehill is inbred 3m x 3f
- ie, through a son (m) and a daughter (f).
This method of description was developed by
David Bay and is now widely used. See 'sex
LINE BREEDING Takes over as an extension of
inbreeding – the reinforcement of ancestors
further back in the pedigree.
NICKS / CLICKS Crosses (usually of a sire over
a broodmare sire) which have proven to have
an above average record for producing stakes
OUT OF A horse is 'from' or 'out
of' a certain dam – these terms
are never used for the sire. It would be physically
impossible for a foal to be 'out of'
a stallion!
OUTCROSSING No exact definition in horse breeding
has been agreed upon for outcrossing, however
it is the mating of a mare to a stallion who
has no significant ancestors common to her pedigree
within the first few generations.
PEDIGREE Family tree of a horse – in the
Thoroughbred it can be traced back to the creation
of the breed (from a mixture of Arab and Barb
horses) two hundred years ago. Modern day Thoroughbreds
can trace their ancestry back to one of three
particular foundation stallions, the Godolphin
Arabian, the Byerley Turk and the Darley Arabian.
PEDIGREE The 'family tree' of the
horse. Impeccable records of Thoroughbred breeding
have been kept since the breed's inception
in England 200 years ago. The Australian Stud
Book is the authority to which breeders must
register all their bloodstock in order for the
progeny to be eligible to race.
PINHOOKING The purchase of a weanling with the
intention to re-sell it as a yearling.
PROGENY The offspring of a horse.
REMOVES Generations in a pedigree. For instance,
a horse may have Star Kingdom on its third remove
– that means that Star Kingdom is three
generations back in the pedigree (if he was
sire of the sire of the sire of the subject
horse he would also be the 'great grandsire
on the tail male line').
RIG A male horse which has a testicle that has
not descended into the scrotum. Gelding of a
rig requires a surgical operation.
SECOND DAM The grand-dam (grandmother) on the
female side of the pedigree.
SEX BALANCED Usually referred to when inbreeding,
if the individual to which the horse is inbred
(or closely linebred) appears through both a
son and a daughter, it is said to be 'sex
balanced'. For instance, if a horse was
inbred 4 x 4 to Star Kingdom, through his son
Biscay and his daughter Dark Jewel, Star Kingdom
would be 'sex balanced'. This is
a desirable pattern for speed enhancement.
SIRE Father of a horse (a stallion at stud is
not termed a sire in catalogue pedigrees until
he produces a winner).
STALLION Male horse over three years old which
has not been castrated, also known as an 'entire'.
TABULATED PEDIGREE A pedigree displayed in table
or grid format. The sire is always positioned
at the top of the pedigree and the dam at the
TAIL FEMALE LINE The 'bottom line'
of a tabulated pedigree - ie the dam, second
dam, third dam, fourth dam etc.
TAIL MALE LINE The 'top line' of
a tabulated pedigree – ie the sire, grandsire,
great-grandsire etc.
THIRD DAM The great grand-dam on the female
side of the pedigree.
THREE QUARTER SISTER / BROTHER IN-BLOOD Where
the dam is the same (or a full sister) and the
sire is a half brother to the sire of the other
horse (three of the four grandparents are the
THREE QUARTER SISTER / BROTHER Where a horse
is by the same sire and the dam is a half sister
to the dam of the other horse (three of the
four grandparents are the same).
WEANLING Horse under the age of one year (at
1st August) which has been weaned from its dam.
YEARLING A horse born after 1st August officially
becomes a yearling on the following 1st August.

Do not make the final product until you are ready to wear it.
If you use real lettuce, avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, or else the bikini will wilt!
Lettuce is a very delicate material to work with, and typical sewing thread may cause it to tear. Be prepared with a back-up bikini if yours falls off.
Things You'll Need
Lettuce—preferably romaine, which is both fluffy and sturdy at the same time
Thread—preferably green, white, or clear
Ribbon—preferably green or white
Any additional dressings you may want to add (e.g., herbs, rhinestones) and an adhesive
Start with the bikini top. Hold a leaf of romaine over each breast, with ruffles up toward your neck. Trim off the bottom of the leaf so that it ends directly below your breast. Sew leaves together, leaving as much space as you'd like between the two for cleavage.
Construct the strap to go around the neck. Sew ribbon onto the top or side of each leaf. Only perform this step if the support is needed. A strapless lettuce bikini is much sexier, if you can pull it off.
Construct the back strap. This step should not be performed until you are ready to wear the bikini. Lettuce will brown quickly, so you should sew yourself into the top. Sew ribbon onto one side of the bikini and then place it on your body, fully or partially covering the breasts. Pull ribbon around your back and to the other side, sewing the top closed.
Construct bikini bottoms. Find one of the larger leaves and place it over your bottom to get a rough idea of how much lettuce coverage you will need. Cut into an inverted triangle, making the lettuce as skimpy as you'd like.
Repeat step four on the front side of your body.
Connect the bikini bottom by sewing the two pieces of lettuce together, peak to peak. Place the lettuce on the bottom half of your body, and sew the appropriate amount of ribbon into place—only on one side of the bikini.
Again, this step should not be performed until you are ready to wear the bottoms. With the bottoms in place, use the appropriate amount of ribbon to connect the two pieces of lettuce, and sew the bikini bottoms closed.

Frankly, losing Hawthorne isn't even the worst part of South Barrens questing for the Alliance.
It's the end, where you watch Bael Modan get bombed, attempt a momentary revenge by collapsing a Horde mine, and then this is the last quest you're given:
"Hawthorne dead... my own son murdered... the situation in the Barrens is out of control, .
I'm going to take charge of Fort Triumph and try to lock things down. To do that, I'm going to need reinforcements. Reinforcements that were promised from Theramore weeks ago!
Travel to Theramore in Dustwallow Marsh and give Captain Garran Vimes an earful. What good is that blasted road through the swamp if the men and materiel aren't rolling in?"
No matter which side you play, Southern Barrens ends with the Alliance struggling to avoid destruction.
THIS is the problem with the Alliance: Blizzard constantly writes them as being mired in ignominous failures, pyrrhic victories, and overall wallowing in a doldrums that they've been stuck in since before WoW even started.
What the Alliance needs is VICTORIES, not some fairy-dust "lighthearted moments." The Alliance already has plenty of "lighthearted moments" and frankly, players hate most of them because they feel like they've been written as a distraction from the story and not actually part of the narrative.
It feels like Blizzard saying, "The people of Westfall are suffering and Sentinel Hill is on fire, and you can't do a thing to prevent either, but, um... OOO LOOK AT HORATIO LANE, LOOK AT THE PUNS, ISN'T HE FUNNY GUYS, ISN'T HE? GUYS?"
As I wrote recently on the story forum-
(hang on, I'll just reprint the entire post. It'll be long, so TL;DR folks can just scroll down.)
In Cata more than ever before, playing an Alliance character makes one feel like they're casting rocks into a hurricane. You never really feel like you're making a difference as an Alliance player - at most it feels like you're slowing or stopping the rot. And the victories you do get are either pyrrhic or else mirrored for the Horde.
I think the biggest problem is that the Alliance frankly hasn't had a big, triumphant win (in the sense of a victory that makes one want to fling their hands up in the air and shout 'For the Alliance) since Warcraft II. Really. Warcraft II.
Think about it.
Warcraft III and TFT were all about stomping on the Alliance's face, with the sole bright point being the victory at Hyjal...but that's more a victory for the world as a whole, for the combined Alliance/Horde/night elf forces over the Legion, not something for the Alliance as a faction.
This trend continues in WoW. In vanilla wow the biggest in-game event was the opening of Ahn'Qiraj, but that was bi-factional and Saurfang was the guy who got the Big Damn Speech when the gates opened
In BC, the Alliance and the Horde were each given two major story lines - the Horde had the reunification with the mag'har and the plight of the blood elves, while the Alliance had the story of recovering the lost expedition and the return of the draenei to their lost world.
Both of the Horde storylines came to a definitive conclusion - Garrosh was empowered by the news of his father's legacy, while the traitor Kael'thas was deposed and the Sunwell was reignited, providing a new beginning for the elves. Both of these storyliens also had ramifications in Wrath.
On the other hand, neither of the Alliance's stories came to a definitive conclusion - finding and questing with Danath was a major win, but Khadgar did almost nothing besides act as A'dal's spokesman, and Kurdran did nothing at all. Turalyon and Alleria (largely considered the most important of the five heroes) were teased at through their son, but never found. The draenei, meanwhile, showed almost no storyline at all in regards to their lost cousins - the Aldor, the Kurenai, the Ashtongue, there was no resolution, or even much acknowledgement between them and those on the Exodar
Moving on to Wrath, which a lot of players point to as the Alliance-flavored of the expansions. The expansion started out with a major, major piece of Alliance lore, the Knights of the Silver Hand, getting ripped out wholesale and presented as a neutral anti-Scourge group friendly to both factions, without so much as a hint of antipathy for the Horde. Dalaran, a former Alliance city-state, likewise went neutral and invited the Horde (including the Forsaken who had quests to kill their citizens in vanilla) into their streets.
Some players scoff at the importance of this, but this kind of act (and that of the defenders of Hyjal in Cata) drastically undercuts the Alliance as a faction. By tearing out these major, major themes, it makes the Alliance feel less flavorful, because the Horde gets to enjoy their own factional themes, and the Alliance's as well. To be fair, some of it goes the other way (Earthen Ring, for example) but the importance of the effective loss of these themes just can't be understated.
But moreover, look at Alliance questing in Wrath (I largely ignored questing in BC because so much of it was mirrored). What does the Alliance gain in Wrath? Okay, they get Muradin Bronzebeard back, that's one. But what else? The humans, gnomes and dwarves learn their origins...but what meaning does that have for them? What effects do we see from these revelations?
Despite the Alliance 'flavor' of the expansion, the major story between the factions was Horde-driven - Garrosh's story progressed and the Wrathgate and Battle for the Undercity revealed the depths of depravity to which some of the Forsaken had sunk, firing on their own allies and turning on Sylvanas to serve the Burning Legion. The resulting Horde story? The Horde truimphantly returns to Undercity, bulldozes the apothecarium traitors and the Legion forces and kills Varimathras. The Alliance story? The Alliance attacks Undercity through the sewers in an attempt to retake the place, kills Putress, Varian has his big "what have they done" moment...then Alliance players all get kicked out of the place because Jaina flinches. Net result? Horde story progresses, Saurfang gets facetime with the pathos over his lost son, while the Alliance have nothing to show for it aside from a lost faction leader (and a fairly major character) and the somber ending note of "we'll see what war brings."
This is followed up with the Broken Front story, where Alliance players learn about how the Horde rushed an Alliance army engaged with the Scourge from behind, resulting in both armies getting wiped out. Then they have to go through the ordeal of mercy-killing Alliance soldiers (while Horde players get to mercy-kill...Alliance soldiers)
And finally we come to Cataclysm. Cataclysm, where Gilneas ends with your character being evacuated in the face of a Horde invasion, Westfall ends with Sentinel Hill on fire from the Defias, Redridge ends with the deaths of Bravo Company, Darkshore ends with the night elves' major character getting tricked by the bad guys, Stonetalon makes you watch a school get nuked, Andorhal ends in retreat, Swamp of Sorrows ends with no change...and the major character of the expansion is the guy formerly in charge of your enemy faction. And you're expected to like him.
Here's what it all comes to-Allaince questing rarely, if ever, makes you feel empowered. I know a lot of Horde players hate the things you end up doing in some zones (Hillsbrad, Stonetalon) but those zones make you feel powerful. You're walking all over the bad guys. In Alliance questing, this just never pulls together. Zones with an overarching story end with ignominous retreats or pyrrhic victories, and the few wins players do get (Wetlands, early Darkshore) are largely against non-player factions. Never the Horde itself.
Meanwhile the Alliance's overall story spins its wheels, going nowhere at top speed. Faction leaders seem to do nothing, your major characters are takeoffs of pop culture (John J. Keeshan and Horatio Lane) or downright silly (Flintlocke...oh god Flintlocke), and most importantly Cataclysm never gives you reason to make you feel like you've accomplished anything - at most you've held the line.

I can't agree more with your thoughts. I don't want more silliness, jokes or light-heartedness. I actually think too much of the Alliance is given that treatment (Gnomes and Dwarves are rarely taken seriously, if ever, movie parodies, etc).
What I want is to stomp greenskins and plant the blue and gold Lion on their corpse.
(And not retreat 5 minutes later to let them rebuild like nothing ever happened)
So if something perceived as Alliance based (Like Dalaran or Malfurion) goes neutral it favors the Horde because it is deluting the Alliance experience.
But if something perceived as Horde goes Neutral (Like Thrall) if favors the Horde as it progresses their story line.
The alliance attack undercity, horde progression. The horde attack Thermadore, horde progression.
This is why people make fun of alliance qq.
The difference there is that post-neutral Thrall was always Horde first. He didn't suddenly sit on his thumbs staring at the Forsaken blighting everything outside his door like Tirion is. Thrall talks about Garrosh, about Cairne--say what you will about the content and handling of the Elemental Bonds questchain (Especially the list of guests and Fandral completely ignoring everyone present he hates in favour of prioritising a person who would only become a figure dangerous enough to be targeted due to a short story set after the event)--but Thrall goes neutral in the correct way. He's even going back Horde again; we know this for a fact.
When, pray tell me, is Tirion going to stop doing more than writing a strongly-worded letter to Sylvanas?
Thrall never really went neutral. Even before Cataclysm came out Blizzard was saying he's taking a sabbatical and he will return to the Horde! For the rest of it, there's no follow through. Dalaran went neutral and....that's it. There's nothing else. Same with Malfurion. There's also the points to where they shouldn't be neutral in the first place. Horde players were slaughtering (and still are) Dalaran wizards in Hillsbrad and the Horde is burning, pillaging, and slaughtering Night Elves in Ashenvale while Malfurion and the Ancients completely ignore that fact and embrace the Horde with open arms.
Well, this is just the way the story works. The trouble stems from the fact that many players expect the two factions to be more or less equal in all ways... But they're not. This is simply because of how the factions are written.
All of the races of the horde have a common thread to unify them. They are all victims of some sort. Maybe not [i]innocent[/i] victims, but still victims. The orcs were betrayed by their leaders, enslaved by demons, then imprisoned by humans. The Tauren were nearly rendered extinct by their neighbors. The Darkspear trolls too, faced extinction at the hands of other troll tribes, and the Naga. The Forsaken and Blood elves were both abandoned and left to die in a diseased wasteland by their "allies" in the Alliance. For all their differences and divisions, the core of the Horde is that every member of the Horde can look at any other member of the Horde and say "I've been there, I know what that's like, that is my brother."
The Alliance, on the other hand, doesn't have that "bond of brotherhood" thing going. The Alliance is [i]purely military[/i] in nature. The Humans of Stormwind, the Worgen, the Night Elves, and the Draenei really have nothing to tie them together aside from having a grudge against one group or another in the Horde. The Dwarves are only in there because of their sense of honor and old relations with humans, while the Gnomes are tagging along in respect for the dwarves. Look at the story behind Gilneas. Look at how Alterac betrayed the Alliance. The Alliance is just that - a temporary agreement between different nations to provide aid to one another. An agreement that can be, and has been broken in the past.
Frankly hte only thing preventing the Alliance from breaking apart into just being a handful of separate nations, has been Garros Hellscream's constant antagonism against their holdings. Without that, the whole shebang would probably crumble under its own weight.
However, I think this WILL change in MoP - It's sounding as though the events of Cataclysm were a prelude to the Alliance factions finally finding some sort of "common cause," in hte manner that the Horde has. After the destruction of Theramore, maybe a human can look at a Night elf, and rather than seeing a nine-foot, blue, pointy-eared freak, he sees someone who suffered the same when the Horde blew up that place in Stonetalon, or when they leveled Astranaar.
I think that the Alliance quests were written the way they were in order for the alliance to rise from the mud and muck that they wallow through 1-60 and at 85, they show up and really start to shine.
I don't know that for a fact, he'll I never played an alliance past lvl 15, but you have to almost imagine a big white board with major plot points for both factions written down as a timeline: Blizz knows what they are doing: they know that it's rough going, and in order to find the steel that they have inside, the Alliance have to hit almost rock bottom to climb back up to the top and push the Horde off the top of the Mountain.
I have to agree with the article about Southern Barrens: as a Horde I felt right when I was told to go take out that Commander, and when a friend told me about the alliance side, I felt partially shocked, partially guilty.
What drives me nuts as a Horde is the blind eye that is given to the Forsaken. I always played, and thought of the Horde as an Honor driven culture, that wasn't afraid of getting dirty to get the job done, and was constantly trying to rise up from their past, and at times hovered above what they once were, but never resorted to falling below that line.
But some of those forsaken quests make me feel dirty: deploying plague, scavenging body parts for aboms, and raising more humans from the dead to fight, bound to Sylvans' will...
And I know that stuff isn't really tolerated by the Horde b/c look at Stonetalon: an Orc went to far, an he got dropped off a cliff. So the way the Forsaken are allowed to run around unchecked bothers me.
I dont think I love a commenter's post more than yours. I want to marry it.
You hit something that bugs me to no end about the lore. They keep making alliance heroes neutral, or taking away powerful alliance allied fractions that can help to make the alliance feel stronger and making them neutral too.
The argent crusade's done its job, lets get the silver hand back, with no hordies that is. My pally feels like a freelance mercenary aimlessly wandering around with no brotherhood to belong to.
The lich king is gone, so phase Dalaran and kick the horde out.
Deathwing is dead, stop offering the horde hugs and candy, and go orc hunting with your wife, Malfurion.
Very well written. This should be a Must Read for all players who tries to find a (logical) reason to a faction change.
One could hope that all the things you said is part of the framework, a "this is the Alliance darkest hour"-kind of thing. If it is, given the medium Blizzard use to tell their story, I think a lot of resent (and hate) could be neutralised just by giving a few pointers to where we, as Alliance, actually are going.
I've been stumbling through darkness ever since I rolled my first Alliance (in WotLK, I can only rely on yours and others descriptions of Alliance in Vanilla and earlier). From time to time I fell more like a medic on the front lines - Alliance players are giving triage to the worst wounded right during a Horde artillery barrage. We're not winning a war, we're not losing it.
We're just trying to keep alive.
(And ... when you think it's over, kaboom! There goes Theramore. I'm running out of bandages here!)

NJ.com: A drama teacher at Old Bridge High School pleaded guilty today to having a four-month sexual relationship with one of her students last year.
Glide pleaded guilty to fourth degree endangering the welfare of a child and faces up to 364 days in the Middlesex County jail when she is sentenced in August. She also agreed to give up her teaching certificate and not reapply for a teaching certificate in any public school New Jersey.
The agreement with the state also calls for Glide to be placed on up to five years of probation and receive mental health counseling as required by her probation officer. During her probation, she can have only supervised contact with males under the age of 18.
In return for the guilty plea, the state agreed to drop a second-degree sexual assault charge and reduce the degree of the endangering charge from third to fourth.
Middlesex County Assistant Prosecutor Christie Bevacqua said the state agreed to the reduced charges because "the victim wanted to be spared having to testify."
Bevacqua said the victim, who was 17 at the time and graduated from the high school last June, "was fine with this plea agreement."
Glide, who organized the high school's plays, was arrested in December. She began teaching at the high school in September 2004 and was suspended after her arrest. The relationship with the student took place between February and May of last year.
Before working for Old Bridge, Glide was employed with the Marlboro Township schools from 2001 to 2004, and worked for Jersey City schools from 2000 to 2001, authorities said. She began her teaching career as a substitute in Weehawken in 1999 and 2000.
She was earning $50,943 annually as a teacher in Old Bridge. She majored in theater at Montclair State University and studied acting at the Lee Strasberg Theater Institute.
In a December 2005 article in The Suburban, a weekly newspaper in Old Bridge, Glide said she appeared on the soap operas "One Life to Live" and "All My Children," and was on an episode of the television drama, "Dawson's Creek." She gave the interview after directing the high school's production of Neil Simon's "Plaza Suite."

Not again!!! Why does this keep happening with teachers?????
Only two lessons..
I have often wondered how many male students have gotten away with raping a teacher then accusing her of molesting him. I know of such a case and the teacher was never allowed to clear her name. Now the kid can't brag enough about his "conquest".
Thanks for the interesting read! Happy New Year and keep up the good work in 2011!
Thanks so much for giving everyone an extraordinarily memorable opportunity to read from here. It is always so pleasant plus full of fun for me personally and my office co-workers to visit your web site minimum three times in 7 days to see the new secrets you have. And definitely, I'm just actually satisfied with your astounding ideas served by you. Certain two points in this posting are unquestionably the most effective I have had.

Cramming Into a Greasy Diner for Omelets and Milk Duds in Chicago
Few ideas will improve your business than more free food—hence the long lines outside of Lou Mitchell's Restaurant and Bakery, a Chicago institution (as well as the first or last stop on a Route 66 trip) with a classic Jazz-era neon sign and the obligatory "World's finest coffee" declaration. Don't worry about the wait—free doughnut holes and Milk Duds will keep the hounds at bay until you're packed into a tiny booth for hot omelets with molten cheese or the fluffiest pancakes in the city. Listen to the sizzle of the ovens and the commotion of the cramped clientele who couldn't care less about their lack of space. For dessert, they may offer you free frozen yogurt … just don't forget to pay the bill out of habit.

The Lion's don't know yet if they'll be facing quarterback Ben Roethlisberger when they play their pre-season opener tomorrow night at Pittsburgh. Steeler's head coach Mike Tomlin yesterday wouldn't commit to using Roethlisberger, who has been suspended by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for violating the league's Personal Conduct Policy. Despite the ban, he is eligible to play in exhibition games.
One thing we know for sure is that Detroit second year safety and former Bronco Louis Delmas won't be in action Saturday night. He's being brought along slowly as he works himself back into playing shape from a groin injury.
Last night's three pre-season games included rookie quarterback Jimmy Clausen's debut as the Notre Dame product completed 8-of-15 passes for 80 yards with an interception with his Carolina Panthers losing 17-to-12 at Baltimore. Also, the Patriots beat the Saints 27-to-24 and the Cowboys lost to the Raiders 17-to-9.

Lynchburg - College basketball, the Randolph College men are undefeated at 9-and-0, their best start in program history.
The Wildcats are off until the Saturday after Christmas, the 29th, when they take on Johns Hopkins in the Bojangles Holiday Classic at Hampden-Sydney. Guard Colton Hunt is having a great senior season, leading the ODAC in scoring at better than 26-and-a-half points a game, more than 7 points ahead of anyone. He's also second in steals and at 6-1, fifth in REBOUNDING at nearly seven a game.
Clay Nunley, RANDOLPH HEAD COACH, said "He's a very confident kid and I say that in obviously a good way. His confidence rubs off on other guys, his toughness rubs off on other guys. As a coach, you really push him to try and be as good as he can be, like you do with every player."
Colton Hunt, ODAC'S LEADING SCORER (26.6 PTS./GAME), said "You know we've just got to build on it. We've had a lot of momentum to start and I think the important thing now is to look ahead and continue to work and continue to get better."
