7 steps to a beautiful lawn - The Boston Globe -
EVERYONE WANTS a lush, green lawn. But if you need to use conventional pesticides and fertilizers to do it, are the health risks and environmental costs too high? Peer-reviewed studies have linked pesticides to medical conditions including Alzheimer's disease, autism, and birth defects, while fertilizer use has been tied to several cancers, as well as to respiratory ailments and heart disease. The Environmental Protection Agency advises using these chemicals responsibly, while the US Fish & Wildlife Service suggests "changing the way you care for your yard" to protect animals and waterways. Using more environmentally sensitive methods — whether you're filling in bare patches, covering an entire lot, or maintaining established grass — can deliver a gorgeous lawn, and it's easier than you might think.
GoGreen contributes to a Boston Globe article about healthy organic lawns!
The winter has been a challenge for some of us, and I'm sure there will be challenges ahead before we are through with the season. For me, the aggravation of bone chilling cold and the unrelenting torment of raw and merciless inclemency is always off set by the shear beauty of the winter landscape and what the Danes call Hygge - very loosely translated, it's the feeling of warm comfort in body and soul found by the fire when you are with friends and family.
I appreciate the winter. I love it actually, but every year around this time I start getting excited for the warmer seasons; the days are getting longer and the sun is moving into it's springtime locale. The witch hazel will be blooming in just a couple weeks and it won't be long after that when we'll see the honeybees working in the croci and snow drops.
As I get older (45 this month) I feel like I'm becoming more and more attuned to the seasons and the moods and machinations that occur within them. I'm worried about the future, the toll that our industrial complex takes on our ecosystems and the incredible challenges that the children I love, and all children, will face in the coming years and beyond. I want to do more. As an individual I will try to do what I can - be less dependent on fossil fuels, buy less stuff, shop and eat locally, and use my singular voice in concert with the many other single voices in my community to affect change.
My desire for change is not new. Growing up in a very openminded family and then attending Antioch College has infused me with a feeling of purpose to strive for the betterment of our world. I hate that the monarchs butterflies are in rapid decline, that bees and bat colonies are collapsing and that our oceans are growing inhospitable to diversity. I think that if we don't change our ways now, we will lose a chance to change the trajectory of our future.
We cannot possibly fix everything, but if we own this plight, and challenge ourselves to act, we can proceed with the idea that we are bound in a dilemma whose future form can change (and will change inevitably) depending on how we act today.

Recent Evidence Points to Neonicotinoids as Cause of Bee Deaths
You may know this invasive vine from seeing its sweet little flower along neighborhood fences. Do not, repeat, do not, for one second, think that it is as sweet as it looks. Black swallow wart is right up there with the wetland destroying Phragmites austrailis and the voracious snakehead fish in its potential for disrupting local habitat. Not only does it take over and snuff out native plant species but, because of it's similarity to milkweed, Monarch butterflies are being tricked into laying their eggs in the pods, which are not large enough to sustain the Monarch's larval stage. As if Monarchs didn't have enough to deal with!

There were a lot of great contributors. I made it to three speakers:
Ecological Choices: Product Substitutions - Ben Daniels from Ultimate Organics.
A few pointers…
Pest Deterents:
Hot Pepper Wax - Repels aphids, spider mites, thrips, leaf miners, whiteflies, lace bugs, and leafhoppers from fruits and vegetables including: citrus fruits, root and tuber vegetables, bulb vegetables, leafy vegetables, brassica (cole) leafy vegetables, legume vegetables, fruiting vegetables and cucurbit vegetables. It can also be used on all indoor and outdoor ornamental plants. Also effective on repelling varment
Cedar Oil - Repels unwanted insects from establishing. Kills when sprayed directly on the insect. So be careful with our bee friends!
Castor Oil - Great for repelling lawn varmints, especially moles and voles.
Peppermint Oil (Not Extract) - An insect repellent, yet a friend to nectar eaters like honey bees. The flower produces lots of nectar, and makes a great source for food for some pollinators!
Garlic Juice Extract - Great mosquito repellent as well as a significant source of organic nitrogen.
Diotomaceous Earth - When spread out on a dry area it will remove the waxy coating on the insect exoskeleton causing dehydration and death. Great for crawling insects.
Borax - When mixed with propylene glycol and injected into wood it will kill termites and other damaging insects
Horticultural Vinegar - A great spot weed killer
d-limonene - Spot weed killer derived from orange peels
The next speaker I attended was Bernadette Giblin, who totally shares our philosophy about turf management - Organic Lawns and landscapes are essential moving forward. She's amazing - She started her own landscape company, Safeground Organic Landcare from the ground up, while raising kids as a single mom. What an inspiration! She is helping push one of the most destructive and pollutive industries toward sane solutions. A very active social entrepreneur, Bernadette is working hard everyday to fight off the big polluters who spend billions convincing the public that pesticides and petrochemicals are ok for the environment, our kids and pets. She truly is a hero!
Ellen Sousa - Pollinator Friendly Landscaping
Pollinators are a 'keystone' species to the foodweb, meaning they are essential in maintaining the balance of life on the planet. Many people understand about the role that bees play in pollinating, but few think beyond that, and fewer still understand how important pollinators are. There are thousands of different pollinator species that include bees, flys, moths, butterflies, wasps and even pesky gnats. Many migrating species of birds are responsible for seed dispersal over wider areas of the globe. The mastodon and other mega-fauna are said to be responsible for the success of the avocado trees throughout the west.
Thank goodness for people like Ellen Sousa who have devouted huge amounts of time trying to find the cause of the devastating population declines connected to Sudden Colony Collapse and other mysterious and not so mysterious causes of the general population decline among these essential creatures.
Pollinator decline can be linked mostly to three things: Pesticides, habitat loss, and introduction of exotic species.
What can we do?
Create gardens that have flowers that attract Pollinator Species (check out pollinator.org and plug in your zip code)
Commit to never using dangerous and toxic pesticides that kill beneficial organisms.
Leave part of your property messy over the winter. Many pollinators hibernate in decaying leaf litter,flower stalks and fallen and rotting branches.
Plant wide swaths of single bloom flowers, many insects are near sighted and also can't negotiate dense blooms.
Install a bee wall for burrowing and nesting bees like the mason bee. They make beautiful art projects. Put a rock in your birdbath so insects may drink. Make a habitat container with moss and lichens.
Plant violets, mountain mint, little blue stem,wild cherry, dogwood, service berry,viburnum, spice bush and wild blue lupine to name a few.
And always, ALWAYS bring the kids!

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (News Release) – The University of Louisville field hockey team took a 2-1 lead in the second half, but could not hold on as host Indiana edged the Cardinals 3-2 in overtime Friday afternoon.
Morgan Fleetwood's goal just 1:11 into the sudden-victory overtime gave the host Hoosiers (4-0) their fourth straight win. Louisville (3-2) will face Ohio University Saturday at 2 p.m.
The Hoosiers took advantage of an early penalty corner to jump to a 1-0 lead. Fleetwood used assists from Danielle McNally and Mariella Grote to put Indiana on the scoreboard at the 3:11 mark.
Louisville answered with less than four minutes remaining in the first half when sophomore Becca Maddock connected on a penalty corner assist from freshman Victoria Stratton for her fourth goal of the season.
The teams entered halftime knotted at 1-1 with Indiana holding a 6-3 advantage in shots, and Louisville with a 2-1 edge in penalty corners. Senior goalkeeper Erin Conrad posted four first half saves .
The intensity increased in the second half with IU holding a slight edge in shots (8-7) and penalty corners (5-4). The Cards pulled ahead midway through the second half when junior Erin Schneidtmiller collected a rebound and sent the ball past IU's Viki Green for her fourth goal of the season pulled the Cards ahead 2-1.
The Hoosiers responded at the 61:24 mark when Grote dished a breakaway pass to the right corner of the cage where Nicole Volgraf tied the score at 2-2.
With the game still tied at 2-2, the teams entered a seven per side sudden-victory overtime period. Fleetwood notched her second goal of the game when the Hoosiers were awarded the first penalty corner of the period.

Excellent recipe for pork chops on the grill. I skipped the nectarines as they did not interest me at all. I served it with the Orzo with sundried tomatoes from a previous issue. Will make this again.
Grilled Pork Chops with Nectarines

FSUrhea Posted: 06/01/13
This was delicious. We had a few substitutions just because of what we had on hand. Used goat cheese and peaches instead of mascarpone. Really delicious.
CarrieLMB Posted: 05/30/13
Tasty! Pork Chop absorbed light seasoning nicely and cumin sugar blend was a surprising twist on grilled nectarines. Halving the nectarines was a mess!
promogal Posted: 05/16/13
My family liked it. I couldn't eat it--didn't like the taste of the cheese on the nectarines.
buenacena Posted: 05/30/13
The pork was ok. Simple grill recipe, but didn't knock my socks off. I tried the nectarines and found the cumin taste to be weird. I will grill pork chops again, and serve with applesauce next time, but will not save this recipe.
verobeacher Posted: 05/16/13
The very simple and light marinade on the pork chops worked wonderfully - very flavorful without being overpowering. Instead of the nectarines, I served the Pork Chops with Baby Potatoes with Wam Bacon Vinaigrette (also a Cooking Light recipe) and found it to be a perfect match.
ChefAriel Posted: 06/22/13
The pork chops were bland, maybe I should have added more salt or marinated... The nectarines were great grilled by themselves but didn't need the mascarponi or weird seasoning.
daneanp Posted: 08/21/13
A great summer dish and one I wouldn't hesitate to serve to guests. I allowed the pork to marinate 2 hours and grilled them on our Traeger. I also substituted greek yogurt for the marscarpone but honestly just the seasoned nectarines alone is perfect. Side dish was a mushroom risotto and garden fresh green beans.
ereeka80 Posted: 06/29/13
We really love this recipe, especially the smoky sweet nectarines paired with the garlicky pork. The key was to let the rub sit on the pork for a half hour. We used a dollop of Greek yogurt instead of marscapone.

Former NBA basketball star Dennis Rodman speaks to the media as he enters the Koryo Hotel in Pyongyang, North Korea Thursday, Dec. 19, 2013. Rodman arrived to the North Korean capital to help train the national team and renew his friendship with the North's young leader, Kim Jong Un. (AP Photo/David Guttenfelder)
There's no shortage of weirdness accompanying Dennis Rodman, and the former Chicago Bulls star made that clear Tuesday during a bizarre, at times angry interview on CNN (video below).
Holding a cigar and flanked by former NBA players participating in an exhibition basketball game in North Korea on Kim Jong Un's birthday, Rodman clearly wanted to only talk about the game.
So when CNN's Chris Cuomo's questions turned to U.S. citizen Kenneth Bae, who remains detained in North Korea, Rodman unleashed some frustration.
"Do you understand what he did?" Cuomo asked about Bae.
"No, no, no," Rodman shot back, "you tell me. You tell me. Why is he held captive?"
"They haven't released any charges," Cuomo said.
Rodman tried to change the subject to the "guys who left their families to help this country."
When the interviewer continued his line of questioning, Rodman became upset.
"I don't give a rat's ass what the hell you think," he said. "Look at these guys! Look at 'em! They came here!"
Rodman told Cuomo he was hiding behind a mic while the former NBA players were in North Korea trying to open the door for others to come to the country.
Charles Smith more rationally explained the group's preference to refrain from political topics.
"We've said numerous times that we're not here for any political aspects," Smith said. "We're not here to talk politics. So outside of that any questions that come back through that is baiting to get us into politics."
Smith also defended Rodman, saying," "Outside of what people know of Dennis, you don't know Dennis. He's got a great heart, his passion is about children and families. That's why we are here."
After the interview Smith said he feels remorse over the game and noted Rodman may not be its best spokesman.

3 Internet Stocks Set to Soar
Chris is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The last time web traffic volume was expanding this fast, Microsoft shares shot up from $3.70 to $58.40, establishing a 1,500% gain in just five years. In the same time frame, Cisco Systems saw gains as high as 3,900%! Advanced Micro Devices shares grew 295%, and Intel increased over 1,700%.
If you missed the boat on the last internet boom, you definitely don't want to miss this one. Why? Because over the next four years, the size of the internet is expected to quadruple.
Why the internet will grow
- More devices. Mobile phones, tablets, and wearables will continue to penetrate the market. By 2016, there will be 2.5 connections for every person on earth (current population).
- Faster speeds. Faster travel means higher rates of traffic. Average broadband speeds will more than triple within the next four years.
- More Wi-Fi. By 2016, more than 50% of Internet traffic is expected to be connected through Wi-Fi.
- More users. Almost half of the world's current population will be connected to the internet within four years. Forecasts put the number of connected at 3.4 billion
Alongside rising internet traffic are diminishing fears over cloud security.
Analytics company Comscore found that before adopting cloud services, 45% of small- to medium-sized companies express security concerns. However, after adopting the cloud, 94% actually feel more secure.
As internet traffic and acceptance of cloud security increase, so will the cloud industry as a whole. Leading technology research company Gartner predicts the cloud market to grow by 19% to $131 billion in 2013.
The market will see major gains within this sector, so how can investors position themselves for profit?
I have identified three companies set to reap the benefits of the growing cloud within the coming years.
1. Palo Alto (NYSE: PANW)
Palo Alto is a networking and software company that offers next-generation firewalls. The company has seen huge growth over the past several years by penetrating a largely untapped market space. Palo Alto has seen revenue and income grow over the past three years. Revenue went from $48.8 million to $118.6 million to $255.1 million. 2013 is looking at similar growth, with a 54% revenue increase in the third quarter year-over-year.
The company also recently started offering firewalls on virtual software (this includes cloud-based Web applications) as opposed to on hardware. Gartner estimates 20% of the firewall market will switch to virtual platforms, making Palo Alto a major competitor in a $1.6 billion market.
Palo Alto has also begun to place focus on cloud computing in enterprise, partnering with Citrix Systems to provide corporate customers security of access on mobile networks. That said, Palo's stock has been in a downtrend since September 2012. Don't jump in with both feet. Look for a bottom signal on the chart. If you play it right, you should be able to get in below $40.
2. Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO)
Cisco has been dominating the market for physical networking equipment — including switches and routers — for some time now. But Cisco wants to be bigger. So the company is switching gears to a new strategy focused on the Internet of Everything, or IoE.
Simply defined, the IoE refers to the idea of an increased connectivity between all objects. Until now, the internet has been a people-centered medium — but non-human objects and machinery are now gaining an increasing amount of access. (For example: Mirrors that can provide basic medical analysis by measuring temperature and pupil dilation, billboards that can target ads based on viewer data and location)
Cisco aims to play a major role in this revolution by connecting these objects through networking and data storage. The company is accomplishing this goal by dropping its consumer-based hardware and aggressively moving towards cloud computing.
The company recently acquired Cloupia and Meraki for cloud management, vCider and Cariden for networking, and BroadHop for cloud programming. The transition has been virtually seamless so far. The company has been able to quickly increase revenue in new markets while maintaining consistent streams from previously successful areas. If you are looking for a solid blue chip winner to hold onto for the next two years, look no further than Cisco.
3. Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU)
Micron Technology designs and manufactures semiconductors for data storage and retrieval. The company provides flash memory and dynamic random-access memory used for storage in computers and servers.
Micron has seen a small but steady increase in revenue stream over the past three quarters: $1.8 billion, $2.1 billion, and $2.3 billion, sequentially. Considering the current performance of the semiconductor market, this is a very positive sign for Micron.
Currently in production, the Micron P400m shows that Micron is aiming to enter the booming big data market. Micron is currently trading just off a six-year high, at $12.53 a share, but with a price-to-book ratio of 1.92, Micron is still fairly cheap. Anywhere in the $10 range would be a steal for any investor.
Foolish conclusion
The internet is just starting to gather speed, and as such, many companies will inevitably capitalize on the booming internet penetration rates. Countries in Africa and Asia will soon have internet capabilities that were considered fantasy just a few years ago, and the above companies are certainly stocks that investors should keep an eye on in the near and long-term.

Reuse Ideas for 5-Gallon Water Jugs?
Good Questions
Q: Long story short, the place where I work will be throwing away a bunch of 5 gallon water jugs in a few weeks. I'm sure there are better uses for them other than a landfill. Any ideas?

Can't they be recycled?
Off the bat, turned upside down, spray painted, they might make cool legs for an outside (or inside) table; just need to find some kind of top that would look good.
I would think to recycle them, too, or give them out for people to store water in. My husband is a homebrewer, and he would love a bunch of empty water jugs. :)
Have you tried posting on FreeCycle or Craigslist? Other than that, try recycling at the local city yard, or put them curbside for pick up.
Free-cycle or Craigslist them. Someone will want them.
I'd love one to take clean water camping. You could try putting them on Craigslist, if they were free I'm sure they'd go quickly. I don't suppose you're in Michigan? :P
Learn the facts about municipal water supply and don't buy them in the first place?
Aren't they usually returned to the company? There may be some way to return them.
My dad always used one as a bank for his change.
This is a good example of when things just need to be given to other people, rather than reused to decorate. I second other people's suggestions to give them away on freeecycle or craigslist.
repurpose to make it a sub-irrigation planter and grow food.
re-use as dust bins - cut the top part, cover them with fabrics or paint them!
Piggy Banks! When I was little, my grandmother gave all her grandchildren 'piggy banks' made out of Clorox bleach containers - handle up, little cork (recycle from wine bottles) for the legs - she put a slit for coins on the top (under handle) - eyes and a happy little mouth. The spout was the piggy nose. Robbing the piggy bank was easy, just unscrew the nose and shake - ice cream truck money! Haven't thought about THIS in years. Thanks for jogging the old memory this morning!
I lived for a short time where the tap water was not potable and we had to get the 5 gallon jugs of water. We exchanged the empty jugs for full ones. Take them back to whichever supplier you got them from in the first place.
That is heavy duty polycarbonate, not one-time-use polyethylene (#1 & #2 plastics). Too valuable to trash, recycle, or downcycle (piggy banks or chair legs).
And, I agree Borage, drink tap water and save yourself the trouble of having to come up with something to do with the empty jugs
@MAY thank you for the link! I just spent an hour learning about SIPs and can't wait to try it out!
When I was a kid our music teacher had a set of them and taught us African drumming on them - much cheaper/more durable than giving every kid an authentic drum!
When my father used to work for a company that used the glass ones, we kept a few for piggy bank reasons.
I went to a party once where the host had cut one (a plastic symmetrical version, not one with a handle like is pictured) in half lengthwise, then attached it to a large plank, sealed, to use as a floating table in their pool.
If you're gardening in the ground, not in containers, and you have deep rooted plants like melons that need a good soaking, the old water containers can be a great tool. Drill tiny holes all around the container, and then dig a hole big enough to bury the container except with the neck sticking out of the ground. Position it near your planted vegetables. Put the holey container in the ground, and fill in the area around the container really well with dirt. When you water your plants, just fill up the underground container with water. It will seep through the holes and really saturate your plant's deep roots very efficiently. Wait 90 days, and eat melons.
We get these from a water company at work. I think there is a charge if we don't return them. I would imagine the company that provided them at your job also wants them back, unless maybe they came from a box store or something -- in which case, I'll bet they still take them back.
Returning them to a water company that would use them as intended is the most environmental option.
@ Joel S- THAT'S what I've been doing, but I've been using the smaller 1 gallon jugs and I have them scattered throughout the garden/compost area! What a great suggestion for use of the 5 gallon bottle.
And, to also agree with other posters, find out the company that delivered the water in the first place & return them for the deposit money! When I had a business we had the water delivery and had to pay a $5 deposit on each bottle. It the end we got the deposit back (we were having 15 to 20 bottles delivered every 2 weeks so that was a LOT of deposit money!)
Don't we worry that the plastic will leach into the soil or water if we use them for that? I agree, I think returning them to the company is the best idea. And avoid plastic, that industry should be obsolete by now.
Put it out on CL... two words... BURNING MAN! lol They will lug 'em in their trailers fo' sho
At the very least, if you're not going to use them, can you put them on the curb for someone else to pick up? IME, here anyway, if you put something on the curb, it will get picked up by someone who wants it. :)
In addition to Freecycle and CL, check with the local tropical fish stores. My son has a large saltwater tank and occasionally gets water from the fish store. He has several of these to transport and store water for his tank.
Usually, those kinds of jugs should be picked up by the company when the company delivers fresh water.
Quick note: this may be a case where the office takes the jug to the store and fills themselves (I used to do the same and mine also had the white caps), so there is no water company to return them to. I second the recycling and the gardening technique. I wouldn't recommend giving them away to someone who would be using them for drinking water again. I know that the jugs you fill yourself need to be replaced periodically for health reasons since its difficult to clean and sanitize them yourself on a regular basis.
Fill them with either Pirate ships or Terrariums and sell them on Etsy/Flea market
Learn to make beer and use it as a fermentation vessel
@May: This year, we cut the bottoms off and hung ours upside down from L Brackets attached to our window frames outdoors. To grow our tomato plants!
You feed the baby tomato plant shoots through the bottle neck, cover in soil and wow - they are growing really nicely!
Oh, too bad you're not in Nova Scotia (I assume you're not in NS?)! I've been re-purposing these into make shift separatory funnels for a research project, and we've had to purchase several. I'd love to get my paws on some discarded ones rather than ruining ones still meant for water.
Stores here, both specialty and bigbox grocery, that sell/fill these generally take them back and refund your money as they charge something around $5 in the first place - much like stores charge a fee when you buy regular bottles and cans.
@Borage - Not everyone in the United States lives in an area of clean, drinkable tap water. I know several people who do not live where municiple water is a thing. They instead use a well and pump. Incidentally that water tastes awful and is sometimes filled with nasty things you do not want to be drinking.
To poster - Recycle them, give them away, return to a store.
Recycling is always good.
BUT I say brew beer and cider in them!
They are food grade, and the are plastic fermenters, but those bottles are #7 plastic (not BPA free).
What I would do with one of those is take 12 frozen apple juices, 2 pounds of table sugar, 2 gallons of water boil it for 30 min, and let it cool to 80F and throw in the 2 packets of wine yeast, pour into the bottle and place a large balloon on top. Place in a dark closet.
Then watch the balloon fill with CO2, and in about 2 months, you will have a strong cider ;) you have lots of options after that. Just google, "bottle conditioning"
Oh my gosh, you can get money for those things. People buy them all the time. They sell them at my local grocer for folks to fill at the processed drinking water machine. Advertise them on craigslist or local classified ads and you might just have some extra pocket change for the vending machines at work. :)
Give them to me, we make fiery wooshing experiments in those at work! :)
I like the pig bank idea
yep I collected small change for years in it!
1. vacation fund
2. college fund
3. new couch fund
4. emergency roof repair fund
5. change-I-found-in-the-wash fund
I live in Denver where the tap water is supposed to be good, however it is heavily chlorinated and tastes like it. Fluoride is also added and I am allergic. Neither one of those chemicals is good for anyone, so I will drink tap water when it becomes drinkable. For repurposing ideas, here is an interesting link.
If you're located in Toronto, contact Habitat for Humanity Toronto and we'll pick them up! I am searching for these so that we can hold Penny Drives at some of our locations. If you're not in Toronto, contact a few of your local charities and see if they're in the process of holding a Penny Drive and if they'd like them for collection containers.
We buy water in those jugs as we don't like all the chlorine & fluoride in our tap water.. We had to pay $10 each for our jugs. If ever you don't want to continue swapping out for full jugs, just take them back where they originate from and get your money back.
We found 3 empty ones once and got some cash.. one bottle was from a different company though, so they wouldn't accept it.
Paint them an off white and use Graphics Fairy graphics, pop a bow or some ribbon and turn them into enormous flower vases.
Wrap some jute rope around it and you have outdoor vases.
Turn them into end tables, since the bottoms are concave you can use it as a base for reclaimed wood to be a reclaimed wood end table.
Use them as a fish tank.
Just a few ideas!

For Immediate Release:Majority Caucus Louisville Metro CouncilContact:Tony Hyatt 574-4137/526-3622January has already given Metro Louisville some of its coldest days of the year. Many homeowners may also be realizing just how drafty their home is when it comes to staying warm. What they may not realize is how much money they are losing as a result.
"This is an area where Project Warm will be able to help them out," says Councilwoman Tina Ward-Pugh (D-9). "If they can spare about two hours, we might be able to show them how to save some money."
Ward-Pugh is hosting an Energy Management Workshop on Monday, February 8th at the United Crescent Hill Ministries, 150 South State Street. The event gets underway at 5:30pm with a Meet and Greet with refreshments provided by Ward-Pugh. Then the workshop runs from 6:00pm to 7:30pm.
"Project Warm does a wonderful job of teaching folks how they can save money and energy by installing plastic over their drafty windows," says Ward-Pugh. "They will also hand out free supplies to the job."
While the program is FREE, registration is required. If you would like to register for the Energy Management Workshop, call Councilwoman Ward-Pugh's office at 574-1109.

Theme exhibitions
Besides the presentations about the rich cultural landscape of the area, various themes are exhibited, such as 'beads and their historical and cultural relevance', 'the healing wisdom of Africa' and 'food and food preparation'.
Beads and their Historical and Cultural Relevance
Human history in Africa over the past 12,000 years is interlaced through its beads. The wealth and value of beads and textiles gave kingdoms a powerbase for negotiation and exchange. Those who controlled the trade routes had the power. Kingdoms of Mapungubwe and Great Zimbabwe held a wealth of gold, glass and stone beads. By learning the language of beads, it is possible to understand all the hidden meanings, messages and symbolism, which are such strong vehicles of communication.
The healing wisdom of Africa
Africa's Ancient Healing Practices are contained within the extended knowledge of our Traditional Healers. The African Spirit Healer is universally referred to as a sangoma ('isangoma'). About 200 000 registered traditional healers are practicing in South Africa. There is great misunderstanding about Traditional Healing which is wrongly linked to witchcraft, evil and disease; but rather has everything to do with healing illness and imbalance of body and mind.
Food and food preparations
The exhibition about food and food preparations show the various pots, bowls, plates, spoons used to prepare traditional food. These items, traditionally used in households, are objects of art and mainly made from clay and wood. Each pot, bowl and plate is used for a specific purpose, for example, storage of beer, serving food or cooking on open fire.

A Community prayer vigil will be held at Community Clubhouse in Crisp County on Sunday, September 14,2014 at 7pm.
By Jim Wallace - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) –Two Albany Police Officers who faced down armed robbers holding a hostage in July win the first Commander in Chief award from A-P-D.
Patrol Officers Christopher Hutcherson and McKinley Windom were presented the award by Chief John Proctor today during A-P-D's Christmas luncheon.
July 12th they came face to face with two armed robbers outside the Family Dollar on West Gordon Avenue.
The men were dragging a female store employ.
Hutcherson shot one of the robbers when he pointed a gun at McKinley.
A week later that supposed hostage was also arrested as part of the robbery ring.
Officer Christopher Hutcherson said "We do this job to protect people. And when the call came for us to step up to the plate, we did what we had to do."
Albany Police Chief John Proctor said "It got a number of bad people off the street. Broke up I think a major ring that was operating. So it was beneficial to this community and those guys did what I though was a very brave act."
Chief Proctor handed out several other awards today to Officers and support staff.
He said it's a way to thank the men and women of the department for their dedicated work doing a tough job.

Spend a Summer in the South
Devoid of a Southern accent, people often ask me where I'm from. They are surprised that I'm from Connecticut. The next question is usually to ask how I got here.
I tell them I got to Mississippi on a lucky opportunity. In 2006, I was a junior at Brandeis University, looking for a unique summer internship. I was interested in museums, so when I came upon the listing for an internship at a Jewish museum in Mississippi, I was sold. The only things I had ever learned about Mississippi (or the South in general, really) were that events from the Civil War and Civil Rights movement took place there, and that it was hot. But Jews in the South? That was a story I knew nothing about, so I applied – and, long story short, had one of the most transformative summers of my life. So much so that after graduation, much to my mother's chagrin, I made the permanent move to Mississippi to work full time for the umbrella organization of that Jewish museum – the ISJL.
I now have the pleasure of welcoming new interns and Education Fellows to Jackson each summer. The mission of the ISJL is so compelling that we recruit students and recent graduates from all over the country. Over the summer, adventurous folks – most of whom are "not from around here" – travel all over the region, learning about cultural traditions, working with community partners, and often breaking down stereotypes they may have had about the South. There's also usually occasions for ice cream, county fairs, and blues festivals.
This week, the Museum, History, and Community Engagement Departments are posting our new summer intern listings for 2013. If you or someone you know has an adventurous spirit and is interested in getting hands-on experience on a wide range of projects in an alternative part of the country, I highly encourage you to check out our site with more information about the internships.

Seminole's Henry Katz Shares Stories with Style
Since the 1940s, the Jews of Seminole, Ada, Nowata, and Shawnee, Oklahoma, have met at the Seminole Hebrew Center for religious services and social events. In the clip below, which is featured on our Online Encyclopedia article for Ada/Seminole, lifelong Ada resident Henry Katz talks about the origins of the Hebrew Center.
I love this excerpt for a number of reasons. Katz, who descends from German-speaking immigrants who arrived in the United States after the Civil War, alludes to the distinction between his decidedly Reform family and the newer arrivals, who were more observant. Then, as evidence of his family's assimilation, he uses the word "phylacteries" to describe what most traditional Jews would call "tefillin." As a professor once told me, "no one who wears phylacteries says "phylacteries."
The story also illustrates the influence of economics on Jewish (and general) migration patterns. In this case, the arrival of recent immigrants to the booming towns above the Seminole oil field influenced the development of the local Jewish community.
Apparently, people used to play a lot of cards. Bridge, canasta, all types of poker—nearly everyone I speak with reports that they or their parents participated in regular card games, inside or outside the Jewish community. Katz attributes the men's gambling habits to the oil business, which is a clever connection to make. I would also point out that many of these men were also immigrants from Eastern Europe; it was a gamble, or a series of them, that had brought them to Oklahoma in the first place.
Finally, Katz has a great voice and tells his story with real style. Reviewing his interview and putting together this clip brought back memories of a pleasant morning spent in Ada at the end of a successful research trip to Oklahoma.
I'd like to thank Henry Katz for sharing his story with us. Credit is also due to summer oral history intern Jonayah Jackson for the quality of the video.

How did they get here?
When I tell people about Jewish families in the small towns I've visited, they often ask, "How did they get there?" When I'm doing oral history interviews, I usually ask the same thing.
The most common answer is that someone (a grandparent or great-grandparent) had a cousin or sibling who was already in the area. Many families have amusing, likely fictionalized tales of a newly arrived forebear getting off of a train at the wrong stop or landing in a small town by some other sort of accident.
In July, I interviewed Michael Korenblit, of Edmond, Oklahoma. He shared the story of his parents, Meyer and Manya Kornblit (the last name is spelled differently due to clerical discrepancies) and their immigration to the United States. There is much to say about Meyer and Manya, childhood sweethearts and Holocaust survivors who were reunited after World War II. They were married shortly after the war, and their oldest son, Sam, was born while the family was living in Eggenfeld, Germany. In the interview clip below, Michael tells how his family ended up in the small Jewish community of Ponca City, Oklahoma.
The clip is also available through the Ponca City article in our Encyclopedia of Southern Jewish Communities. The rest of Meyer and Manya's story is recounted in Until We Meet Again, which Michael coauthored.
How did your family get to where they live today? Where did they come from originally?

I have attempted everything I know how in order to remove CouponDropDown. It does not show up in IE. However, Firefox is infected. I have been through the Add/Remove Programs and cannot locate it. Apparently, it is hidden. Have the authors become smarter? I have even done a Restore and have even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. Nothing helps!
I need new ideas.
Sorry but Ive got the same situation - a stealthy installation of CouponDropDown that screws up Firefox. I tried a full scan of SpyHunter which claimed to be able to remove CouponDropDown, but it didnt even find it. I would really appreciate a real solution.
Same with me, this is BS!
I cant get rid of it either! Have Kaspersky installed and that hasnt stopped it.
I was just about to buy Kaspersky so thanks for the heads up on that. Has anyone any idea on this?
its the same with Norton, I bought Norton cos I was so brassed off with this thing, and its still there ;-)
The removal instructions were worthless since I never installed CouponDropDown. Norton did NOT stop it from happening. So I went to my trusty Spybot (free program) and it removed it. YIPPEE! Always wonder what kind of success these programmers could do if they worked for reputable companies ... what a waste of everyones time and effort and money to just tick people off!
Thank you for your help trying to remove this nasty hidden virus that runs in the background of your browser. In my case it was running on IE8 and placing hyperlink ads in my narratives on my eBay items I was selling and it was showing ads while I visited other webpage's. It would not show on the program list for add and remove programs on startmenu>Control panel>add and remove programs. Nor would it show up on manage add on list for IE8. It was not picked up by my MalwareBytes or Spybot programs either.
First I tried to uninstall and then re-install IE8 but after doing that it was still there. Then I tried to reset settings on IE8 using tools>internet options>advanced tab>reset. I kept getting an error message saying I had to close open tabs still running to perform reset. There were no other tabs open that I could see so I know this tricky little bastard was still running in the background preventing a reset of IE8.
I went to Microsoft download site and found this program called Mr. Fixit that will perform the reset and override the coupon drop down virus running in the background. Here is the link to download the Mr. Fixit program.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 (copy and paste into your browser)
I did not check the box for resetting my personal settings and just let it reset IE8 back to default settings. After completing the Mr. Fixit reset the coupon drop down virus was gone. Yes!
After getting rid of this coupon drop down virus I downloaded and installed a great program that restores all the windows programs and corrects all the errors that were caused by this piece of crap. You can download it here...(copy and paste link)
After running the tweaking repair program my Windows IE8 is golden. Both Mr Fixit and the tweak windows repair are free programs. Hope this helps.
I finally got rid of this. Thank you so much.
Im frustrated with this as well... Ive also tried scanning... I am a professional attempting to conduct business at home and this keeps showing up. They take up my entire screen and not knowing I clicked to tell it to go away and it opened up more. Thanks for the insights I am going to give this a try after lunch. Ive got a meeting to prepare for!
I do not know a lot about computer stuff. I need easy to follow directions on how to remove coupon drop down from m computer.
Please explain it as you would to a 5th grader. I am adult, but I need super easy steps to remove this horrible, aggravating problem.

Game Recap: Cubs 3, Giants 0 -- Who was that guy pitching for the Cubs?
(graphic pending)
Does anyone know where to look for the stat that records "Most Baseball Games Won Singlehandedly?"
I've got to imagine Carlos Zambrano is at the top of that leader board.
He was at it again last night, knocking in two runs and giving up only one over the course of a complete game two-hitter. 'Los walked one, and struck out eight.
That's kind of been the story of Z's career, in that: WE KNOW HE CAN DO THIS! The no-hitter, last night's game, his performances in the postseason (do NOT pin the '08 game on him, after he got five freakin' outs in the inning) are all evidence that he's got ace talent.
But we also know he lacks ace composure.
You might say Z is at his best when the game matters least. I for one would argue that maybe he's not good in somewhat meaningful games, but in the Huge Games with Major Implications (read: postseason) he's money.
So where does that put us on the whole "Trade Z" debate? For me, he's a top pitching talent, with one of the best bats at his position in the league (…), and that's someone you want to keep on your team. Maybe as he
ages he'll get less crazy? Or maybe not.
Oh yeah, and the offense still sucks.
Go Cubs!

TEAMS: Miami Dolphins, New York Jets
DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -- Miami Dolphins linebacker Kevin Burnett is sidelined by a foot injury, raising doubts about his availability for Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Burnett was added to the injury report Thursday, when he did not practice. He missed much of training camp with a back injury but started the Dolphins' first two games. Reserve defensive tackle Tony McDaniel (knee) and receiver Marlon Moore (hamstring) also sat out practice. Starting cornerback Richard Marshall (back) and reserve receiver Anthony Armstrong (hamstring) were limited. Backup running back Daniel Thomas has practiced fully the past two days after missing Sunday's win over Oakland with a concussion.

I love "The Hunger Games." I'll read the books, watch the movies and fangirl over the promos and trailers for "Mockingjay: Part 1″ until my obsession reaches a borderline unhealthy level, but if there's one thing I'm not so enthusiastic about, it's feeling like I'm in "The Hunger Games." NOPE.
But soon we may all see firsthand what it's like to head to the Capitol, because rumor has it that Lionsgate, the studio that brought the popular book series to theaters, is in talks to create theme parks based on the world. Why? Because everyone wants to feel like they're being forced by a totalitarian government to fight to the death, obvi. Sounds like family fun to me! Keep reading »

Counterpoint: I don't think Taylor Swift's new video is racist
By Sesali Bowen | Published: August 27, 2014
Tweet Last week, our very own Chloe Angyal took Taylor Swift to task over her new video, which features women of color twerking. She argues that these Black and brown twerkers are used as props in the video to highlight Taylor's whiteness. She explains: "There's lots I could say about this video, but I want [...]

Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity or have a minimum size of object/return to be used for the result? I ask because if you look at the attached picture you will see the HC-SR04 mounted tipped up at 10 degrees. It will always return the distance to the 1.3" x 2.5" rectangle of cardboard and will never return the distance to the wood door (I like that it does this). However, if I put the 1/16" hex key in the path like in the picture, the sensor will return this shorter distance once in a while. A larger .090" hex key will cause most all returns to be the hex key distance.
I have read to get the sensor well off of the floor, but I don't really have that option. I don't have hex keys in the path, but I used this as an example. Many real world surfaces can cause returns it seems.
Your very good median can be used for a small amount of stray results, but I have found that sometimes the extremely small object returns can be consecutive at times and bad numbers will get through the median. The oscilloscope shows that it must be very difficult to pick out the closest object, but I was hoping to have the ultrasonic ignore the very small returns. I know that this is not in NewPing, but I just wondered if anyone had changed what must be the firmware on the sensor itself.
Thank you.

Jan. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Business groups and activists lobbying for broad changes in U.S. immigration laws say they now expect House Republicans to consider piecemeal legislation this year and could start by tightening border security.
Party leaders have been discussing options for months. House Speaker John Boehner, who says he's committed to advancing legislation, last month hired an immigration policy adviser from the Bipartisan Policy Center to work on the issue.
"Boehner has had many opportunities to shut down this process and he never has," said Randel Johnson, senior vice president for immigration and labor issues at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. "We're definitely working towards an expectation that the House is going to move forward on immigration."
House Republicans are wary about facing voters in November without changing immigration policies, and are cautious about embracing legislation deemed to be an "amnesty" that could be used by opponents in the March to September primary season.
The Senate in June passed a comprehensive bill that would offer a path to U.S. citizenship for the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants after improved border security measures are put in place. It would require employers to verify employment by using E-Verify, revamp the visa system to increase high-skilled labor sought by technology firms and add temporary worker visas for longer-term jobs and seasonal agricultural positions.
Piecemeal Measures
House leaders say they won't take up the comprehensive Senate bill. Instead, they're discussing options for piecemeal measures, talks that will continue at the Republicans' annual retreat this month, a leadership aide said.
Any differences between the House and Senate versions would need to be resolved, a process that would be difficult if Senate Democrats demand the pathway to citizenship that many House Republicans have said is a non-starter.
"The Republican Party cannot afford to alienate conservative voters by embracing anything like an amnesty proposal," said Dan Holler, spokesman for Heritage Action for America, which is affiliated with the Heritage Foundation that backs limited government.
Boehner rejected Democratic accusations that Republicans' refusal to take up the Senate bill means they're not interested in immigration legislation. It's "absolutely not" dead, he told reporters in November.
