Rolling Stone's Dzhokhar Cover
This is the cover of the August issue of Rolling Stone, set to hit newsstands soon. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Internet will likely have a few thoughts on the editorial decision to give the "Free Jahar" crowd something to pin up on their bedroom walls. (As a man who's had to art an untold number of Tsarnaev-related posts with only a handful of images to choose from, I'll grant the editors didn't have a whole lot of options to accompany Janet Reitman's report on the "life and times of Boston bomber Jahar Tsarnaev." That said, it's pretty clear the masthead knew what they were doing when they settled on this one.)

Investment Column: Argos catalogues reasons why the boom will not last
Tuesday 19 August 1997
Given recent analysis of the economic effects of the windfall payments he is probably right. Sadly, it is not what Argos investors really want to hear.
After two years during which Argos appeared to walk on water, the catalogue retailer has lost its glitter this year after two profits warnings. The shares, which were riding high at almost 800p last October, have dribbled down to 621.5p, after a 1.5p drop yesterday.
So what the market was looking for were signs that the company might be set to re-capture the premium rating of yesteryear. Sadly that appears some way off. What Argos now appears to be is a good, solid operator, in a competitive, mature market.
Yesterday's half-year figures were in line with the reduced expectations, with pre-tax profits of pounds 28m against pounds 32m the previous year, hit by some one-off costs.
The company is trying to go for growth but the market is concerned it will not come soon enough. At home, it printed more catalogues with wider ranges and cut the margin by 0.5 per cent to grow sales. More is being spent on advertising and promotion and a store opening programme to take the number of outlets from the current 433 to around 700 is still in place.
Home delivery is now offered in all stores but the pounds 5 charge will only cover the costs of the service. The First Stop trial of low-priced electrical good shops is being kept at just three stores for the time being with no new openings planned for the rest of the year.
The worry is that at a boom time for consumer electronics and furniture, group like-for-like sales grew by a modest 5.3 per cent in the half year and 8 per cent since then.
Abroad, Argos will start trading in Holland next year but expects the venture to lose pounds 4m-pounds 5m in 1997 and up to pounds 8m next year. Break-even is not anticipated until 2001.
Argos is still growing share in key sectors and is still the price leader in many of them. But on forecasts of pounds 150m for the full year, Argos shares trade on a forward rating of 17. A solid hold, but not one to overexcite.

2006 Chrysler 300 • 20,048 miles
Basically I have had no major problems with my car thus far. Recently I hear a loud ticking noise coming from my dash. Chrysler dealership did a diagnostic and said they don't know what it is but they BELIEVE it is a rodent in my air/heater unit and that labor alone to pull out the engine to see is $800. This does not cover replacement parts or what they may find. Being that I am a lady, I believe they are trying to dupe me. The ticking noise continues for a while even after I turn the heater off. I've read some of your previous postings, could this be the heater shutoff door warping? If so, what is the approximate repair cost that I can expect. Thanks.

To register or find out more about GriefShare "Surviving the Holidays", call Rodney Otwell at 336-672-9300 (or) email email@example.com.

Hospice of Randolph Seeks Donations for Annual Auction & BBQ
Asheboro, N.C. – The Hospice of Randolph County's Auction & Barbecue is gearing up for another exciting event. This year's fundraiser will take place on November 1st at Southwestern Randolph High School. In preparation for the event, Hospice of Randolph County is asking the community for donations for sale in the auction. Examples of items needed for the auction include: fine art, pottery, gift certificates / products from local businesses, furniture, antiques, collectibles, new electronics, jewelry and more. All goods are welcome, but the organization requests that items be in "new" or gently-used condition. These items are needed before the October 15th deadline to be included in this year's auction. A silent auction will take place during the BBQ dinner from 3:30pm-6:30pm. The live auction will begin at 6:45pm in the gymnasium with WGHP Fox-8's Morning News anchor Cindy Farmer serving as celebrity guest auctioneer to kick off the auction. This year also marks the 31st Anniversary of the organization itself with the specialized and compassionate care that it has provided to thousands of people across Randolph County.
Donations of desserts are also needed for the BBQ dinner. Those wishing to donate dessert items such as cakes, pies, etc., are asked to contact Lisa Huffman by October 15th, by calling (336)672-9300.

People donating items for this booth are asked to pre-register their baked goods with Lisa Huffman. This year will also include the expanded "Hospice Gems Jewelry Boutique" with many different types of rings, necklaces, bracelets, watches, scarves & wreaths… a great opportunity to purchase gifts for the holiday season.

Hospice of Randolph County to Host "Coping with Traumatic Loss" Event August 5
Asheboro, N.C. – Hospice of Randolph County will host an evening event focusing on "Coping with Traumatic Loss" on Tuesday, August 5 at 6:00 pm. Kellie Moran, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, will be the featured speaker. It will be held in the Educational Building at the Hospice of Randolph campus located at 416 Vision Drive, Asheboro, NC.
The event is open to surviving family and friends, as well as those who want to help people affected by suicide, homicide, accidental or sudden, traumatic death. Guidance counselors, clergy, therapists, and healthcare professionals are invited to attend as well. The event is free of charge, but the agency asks attendees to pre-register by August 1, in order to assure adequate seating, refreshments and materials.
"The loss of a loved one is in itself a deeply emotional experience, even when it is expected due to illness or gradual decline," noted Tim Pheagin, Chaplain with Hospice of Randolph County. "Most people, before their first loss, assume that the grieving experience is simply deep sadness that fairly soon gives way to a return to normal feelings; however, once they have a significant loss, they are surprised at the variety and intensity of different emotions, including fear, anger, loss of self-esteem, guilt, and other things. When you add the element of a sudden, traumatic event, the experience becomes quite complex."
Dr. Rodney Otwell, Chaplain and Bereavement Coordinator, added: "When a loved one dies accidentally, family members struggle to understand 'why,' not just in terms of cause and effect, but in trying to find a deeper meaning. People ask the age-old questions like, 'Why did God allow this to happen?' Survivors are often filled with regret about things that were left unsaid or undone. Since they can't easily come to grips with the loss, such feelings as guilt, anger, and blaming, are magnified, along with the deep sense of sadness and loss. The term bereaved literally means to be robbed. This certainly applies to accidental and homicidal deaths."
Both Otwell and Pheagin went on to say that loss by homicide carries the added pain of a yearning for justice, which may take years to resolve. In cases where the homicide is unsolved, that yearning may never be fully addressed. Particularly with homicide, profound fear may become a survivor's constant companion because it leaves a person with an indelible image and realization that his/her own life can be taken in a moment.
Suicide loss is a deeply painful, complex and traumatic experience. Often survivors are left with an endless array of intense emotions and unanswered questions. Sometimes they struggle with unspecific guilt – wondering what they could have done differently, thinking they could have been more attentive and aware, etc. Others struggle with very specific guilt over past conflicts and careless words. Some struggle with a sense of shame and stigma, while still others struggle with the possible spiritual implications of the decision to end one's own life. Accidental death has many of the same emotions, along with its own set of emotional issues, with survivors struggling to make sense of the loss.

Does she have other children? Reason being, you need to think about them too,
#7 Feb 22, 2013
all you can do is tell her the truth.. not your thoughts on the subject.. what you have seen with your own eyes. not what you heard or think whats going on, cause is that really the truth.. think of the children as why keep them in a loveless relationship, where both parents are unhappy. is that really going to keep them happy. yeah they are getting taken care of.. but it ruins there mind, keeps them depressed at a young age for life...kids don't need that. personally its there life. who are we to judge... what if you tell & they argue, fight days.. kids seeing this & then she hates you for telling her & ruining her life? & she wants him still... what did you really do.. just think before you do it....
#8 Feb 22, 2013
My friend left her husband some months ago,and does have kids. She wasn't planning on getting pregnant by this bo,. But it happened. I know I should tell her, but what if she does not believe me, and she stops being my friend?
"imma come out on top..."

that's a risk u gonna have to take... i think every one does it even the faithful ones..if all she thinks bout is taking care of her family then leave her alone... but if its like where her whole life revolves around that guy, then tell her before she stays with him & lets him do it.. they already looking @ her like she blind...
#10 Feb 26, 2013
You will lose her trust and friendship anyway when she finds out and she knows YOU knew all along! Think good and hard about it!
#11 Mar 19, 2013
Do not interfere. She and her boyfriend got in this mess (I am thinking they are not married) so both of them should decide what to do. Let them learn on their own. I know you want to tell her but please do not-----and besides someone else will tell her believe me but dont let it be you.

Waterfront Toronto boss defends purchase of $12K pink umbrellas
Waterfront Toronto CEO and president John Campbell fires back after Toronto councillor Denzil Minnan-Wong criticizes pink umbrellas and rocks on Sugar Beach.

In the face of a city councillor's criticism, the head of Waterfront Toronto says spending close to $1 million to buy two giant rocks and 36 pink umbrellas for Sugar Beach was a prudent investment.
"What's the big picture? Some people just can't see the forest through the trees," Waterfront Toronto president and CEO John Campbell said Thursday.
"It's all about building a better city. Yes, you can pick a light pole here, an umbrella there, that's really not the point. The point is we are delivering on our mandate to provide a great community . . . this is about revitalization."
Parks and a public space such as Sugar Beach have helped lure development to Toronto's waterfront, he added.
Tax revenues generated from waterfront revitalization and the $2.6 billion investment from developers have effectively paid back to the federal, provincial and city governments almost all of the $1.5 billion they provided to Waterfront Toronto, he said.
Councillor Denzil Minnan-Wong is accusing Waterfront Toronto of wasting tax dollars when it paid $500,000 to purchase two "designer rocks" and about $12,000 each for three dozen pink umbrellas, "that look like they're wearing out."
The waterfront park on Queens Quay opened in 2010, but Minnan-Wong said he only just obtained the invoices, which he said he had to "rip out" of the agency.
"I get mad when we can't improve parkland deficient areas and our tax dollars are being used to buy two rocks and a bunch of umbrellas for close to a million bucks," Minnan-Wong said Thursday.
"We should be making it look nice, but it's a question of value and it's a question of transparency," he said.
Campbell noted the umbrellas are not the kind you take to the beach. They are permanent "art structures" equipped with LED lights and designed to withstand the weather for decades. The rocks, which feature coloured stripes — in keeping with the park's sugar theme — were chosen by the firm that won an international design competition "that was public," Campbell said. He rejected Minnan-Wong's suggestion the umbrellas need replacing.
Next week, the city's executive committee will consider a report on the next phase of waterfront revitalization.
The agency, established in 2003, is running out of money and is looking for additional funding for flood protection and transit, as well as asking the city for more borrowing powers for new projects, Campbell said.
Minnan-Wong, who sits on the committee, calls Waterfront Toronto "an expensive organization with lots of people with high-priced salaries and they're anything but transparent."
Campbell dismissed that as nonsense and invited the public to check out information posted on Waterfront Toronto's website.

Will Smith Confirms Lady Gaga's Cameo in Men In Black III
It has been revealed by Agent J… err… Will Smith that Lady Gaga (among other celebrity cameos) will be making an appearance in the upcoming Men in Black III flick.
[photogallerylink id=28676]
According to The Daily Mail, Will Smith has confirmed that Momma Monster and others will be making their Men in Black debut.
Smith was quoted saying: "We have a couple of celebrity cameos, but I think I can not reveal who they are."
"We must keep as a surprise that Lady Gaga appears."
Well, there you go. Way to keep a surprise, Will.
Gaga has always wanted to take on an acting role. She recently revealed to Ellen Degeneres that her "dream is to be in a Woody Allen movie." I'm not sure if Men in Black III coincides with that dream, but it's a start! Now that her appearance is confirmed, the bigger question(s) is will she and the other celebs be fighting aliens? Will they BE the aliens? Will Gaga try and take over Earth with her little monsters? The possibilities are endless!
In addition to Gaga's role, former lead Pussycat Doll and X-Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger will be taking on a villainous role in the film (that will sure get the men hyped up!).
The official trailer!
This won't be the first time the film franchise features big time celebrities. In the second film, the King of Pop Michael Jackson made a cameo appearance. Check it out below!
The first Men in Black film, which came out in 1997, was a huge success both in the U.S and worldwide. In its opening weekend it made $84,133,900. It also brought in a gross amount of $360,600,000 worldwide.
The next chapter of the series was released in 2002 and featured Jackass Johnny Knoxville and brought in $52,148,751 in the U.S and $235,200,000 worldwide, proving that its following isn't going anywhere. Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith will continue on the fight against aliens attacking NYC on Memorial Day of this year. With the advance in special effects and technology, Will and Tommy Lee's comedic timing and chemistry, and the film's large following — Men in Black 3 is sure to be a success.

Very beautiful palace and gardens inspired in different parts of the world. Amazing views from the palace!
..may not be such a bad thing. Unlike today's Brits who invade the South of Spain, Francis Cook was Victorian philanthropist who built an amazing house on the hills of Sintra. The garden is one of the few places in the world that can support plants from almost anywhwere in the world. It appears between the fertile soil and the...
A very nice place to see part of the culture of Portugal. Althought we tried to find some guide, for some reason we couldn't find it, and also the place is not well kept according to my view point.
The main reason for visiting Monserrate is the fabulous, richly stocked garden with over a thousand species of subtropical plants. Allow more than an hour for exploring the garden. Wear sensible shoes and be prepared for steep slopes, steps and uneven surfaces, which are also likely to be slippery in wet weather.
The Palace, inspired by Brighton Pavilion with a...
A beautifully laid out garden generates such peace and harmony. The palace is a fantastic renovation job. Strongly advise not missing this pearl.
The highlight for us was the Mexican Garden, really good planting and variety of plants. The Rose Garden was a big disappointment- - hardly any varieties still in flower, and the whole area was neglected. The house was a strange one - almost all of the rooms were completely unfurnished, and you had to rely on black & white photos...
This is definitely work exploring. If you don't have time, don't explore the gardens but do go inside of the palace. It is very beautiful and also it is a good spot for having a light lunch or a snack.
Would highly recommend a visit out to Monserrate, the garden are nice but the house it unlike anywhere else, very beautiful
Worth the visit for those who likes garden. Just better to visit when flowers are in bloom, i guess in july. Less flowers sn september.
Beautiful palace – the rooms and garden bearing witness to a story about the global jet-set populating Sintra in the 19th century but also about the collapse of one of the world's wealthiest families of the time. Very few visitors around. Ideal for a contemplating stroll in the garden.

I've been following the foreclosure fraud for some time now, and have been dismayed at the TN HB1920 bill that will cut disclosure notices. The debate on the cloak-foreclosures-in-darkness bill, that is being pushed by the Tea/Gop and the bankers in this state, is leaning toward the ridiculous subsidizing the newspapers meme that some fool pulled from their hat (or other orifice).
Meanwhile, just a hop, skip and a jump over to North Carolina, and we find a HEROIC Registers of Deeds that looked back at the paperwork filed by them bankstas (rhymes with gangstas) and finding thousands of INCONSISTENCIES!
Thousands of mortgage documents in Guilford County could potentially be fraudulent, the county's register of deeds said.
Jeff Thigpen said his office noticed signature discrepancies in more than 4,500 mortgage and foreclosure documents submitted between August 2006 and April 2010. While the same name was signed to documents, the signature characteristics were found to be different, Thigpen said.
Imagine that! Inconsistencies in the signatures used on LEGAL documents filed by the bankstas! And we wonder why the bankstas want the Tea/Gop to stop publishing foreclosure notices in local papers! (clue: reduces a paper trail)
Meanwhile, as David Dayen writes about the NC Register of Deeds:
Thigpen basically followed the investigation undertaken by 60 Minutes; in fact, Lynn Szymoniak, the forgery and document fraud expert featured in that article, appeared with Thigpen in his press conference on this. She's tried to get practically every regulator in the country to listen to her about this massive fraud perpetrated on state courts.
While David notes there are other Registers of Deeds that are looking through the mounds of paperwork, I chose to highlight NC's Thigpen, because of geographical closeness to TN. But, please note that there are other Registers of Deeds across the country that are following the 60 Minutes investigation on their own, and then alerting the AG.
So, I pulled up the Knox County Register of Deeds website. In direct contrast to Thigpen's website, that has a bright yellow "Fraud Alert" box in it's sidebar, that leads to information on Mortgage Fraud, Sherry Witt has nada, zilch, nothing. No mention, whatsoever, of possible mortgage frauds that I could find.
Was I surprised? Not at all. Seems like the Tea/Gop, at the behest of the bankstas, has this county sewed up in a cloak of darkness.
So to all of TN's Registers of Deeds, I challenge you to do the right thing and look out for the constituents of your counties. Look at the paperwork being filed by the bankstas, look for inconsistencies in the signatures on the legal documents. Actually, I'll make it even easier for you -- how about you just DO THE RIGHT THING for the people!

England A snatched victory from the jaws of defeat with number 8 Sarah Hunter's last minute try securing a 5-3 win over defending champions Spain in the Women's European Trophy 2011 final in La Coruna on Saturday.
The two sides had met on English soil in March with the hosts running out 34-7 winners, but with a title up for grabs this was never likely to be repeated, despite the fact that England A had not conceded a point en route to the final.
A pulsating match actually saw the first half pass without any points being scored and it was only on the 50-minute mark that Spain, to the delight of the home crowd, broke the deadlock with a penalty by Patricia Garcia.
England A did create a few scoring chances but it was only after stepping up their efforts in the final 10 minutes that they ultimately found the breakthrough, a scrum in the corner allowing the forwards the chance to drive and push over the line through Hunter.
Ceri Large missed the conversion, but it mattered little as from the restart Georgina Rozario booted the ball into touch to spark the English celebrations.
Invaluable experience
"We are absolutely delighted to have won the European Trophy. It was a tense, heart stopping game, and we were on the edge of our seats for most of the match, but in the end we pulled through and sealed the victory," said England A head coach Mike Barnett.
"The whole point of this campaign for us was to give the players a tough experience and we certainly got that. Our experienced girls played really well and they helped bring on our younger players and that experience is going to be invaluable to them. Certainly a lot of our players have put their hands up for selection higher up the England ladder.
"Spain were a similar side in terms of players to the team we defeated over a month ago, but they were a very different team on the pitch today. They defended tremendously, they were clinical at the breakdown and certainly had the belief they could win. To therefore come through this match and to win it in the dying minutes shows great mental strength from our squad. This sort of experience for them is invaluable."
France A came out firing in the third place play-off with Italy at the University of Coruna, racing into a 14-0 lead inside 20 minutes courtesy of tries by centre Marjorie Mayans and fly half Audrey Parra.
The Italians, runners-up in 2010, did bounce back with number 8 Flavia Severin touching down to send her side in trailing 14-7. There was to be no comeback, though, with Laura di Muzio kicking a penalty to seal the victory and third place for France A.
First try for Finland
The fifth place play-off between Sweden and the Netherlands was unusual in that the majority of points came in the second half, with only centre Nicole Kwee's try coming in a first half which ended with the Dutch leading 7-0.
Sweden number 8 Katarina Boman made up for her yellow card in the first half by cutting the deficit to two points with a 42nd minute try, but tries from her opposite number Christy van Oorschot ensured the Netherlands finished fifth in 2011.
Russia also ended the tournament on a winning note, beating Finland 22-5 in the seventh place play-off with the result never in doubt after tries from full back Ekaterina Kazakova, wing Marina Petrova and fly half Elena Smirnova in the first half.
Finland, who only played their first international back in 2007, have battled bravely in ever match and had cause to celebrate when captain Minna Raatikka scored their first try of the tournament 10 minutes into the second half. However, Russia restored their 17-point cushion with a second try by Kazakova.

From: Burkittsville, MD
Region: Mid-Atlantic
Topic: Plant Lists, Privacy Screening, Vines
Title: Vines to Cover Brush Pile in Maryland
Answered by: Anne Van Nest
QUESTION:We have a large brush pile on our property that we'd intended to burn, but it is big enough now that it would require the help of the fire department! I'm thinking I'd like to cover it with native vines instead. What do you suggest? I'm in central MD with clay soil (except that the soil around this ancient and previously burned-over pile must be insanely rich), and it's in full sun. I won't be able to water.
The first place to go to find a list of potential plants is our Native Plant Database. Use the Combination Search feature instead of Recommended Species. This will provide a bigger selection with much more choice to narrow down. The volunteers and staff at the Wildflower Center who maintain the database have partners in different regions to help with these recommended species lists based on what is easy to access in local nurseries.
Under Combination Search, select the following categories: Maryland, Habit – vine, Duration – perennial, Light requirement – sun.
Some of the more drought and sun tolerant possibilities that could be used as brush pile screening plants include:
Ampelopsis arborea (peppervine) fast growing but short lived. Growing to 35 ft. Clusters of pea-sized bluish-purple inedible berries.
Bignonia capreolata (crossvine) woody vine to 50 ft. Showy orange-red, trumpet-shaped blooms in spring.
Campsis radicans (trumpet creeper) aggressive woody vine to 35 ft. Showy orange-red, trumpet-shaped blooms at the end of the branches throughout the summer.
Celastrus scandens (American bittersweet) woody vine to 30 ft. In the fall showy orange capsules split to reveal crimson arils.
Clematis virginiana (Devil's darning needles) fine-textured vine to 15 ft. A profusion of small white flowers in summer followed by a plume-like feathery achene.
Lonicera sempervirens (coral honeysuckle) semi-evergreen twining vine to 20 ft. Clusters of red tubular blooms in early summer followed by bright red berries.
Parthenocissus quinquefolia (Virginia creeper) deciduous vine to 40 ft. Brilliant mauve, red and purple fall color.
The effect of the wood ash on your new native vine plants depends on the type of wood that was burned. Cornell University has a good article online that explains the effects of wood ash on garden soils which is based on the composition of wood ash, the completeness of the wood combustion and how much leaching has taken place after the burn. The wood ashes just after burning have a nutrient composition of 1-2% phosphate (P2O5) and 4-10% potash (K20). As the ash is exposed to the weather the lime in the wood ash is converted from an oxide form to hydroxide and carbonate forms. Wood ashes can have lime ratings of 20-50% (as calcium carbonate, CaCO3). Hardwoods such as maple, elm, oak and beech contain 1/3 more calcium than the ash of softwoods. Calcium carbonate will raise the pH of acid soils.

Medford's unique TV market reaches a critical crossroad
|| Print |
|Articles - August 2011
|Wednesday, July 20, 2011
Page 8 of 8
Behind the TV screens
Diversified corporations own each of the four major network affiliates based in Medford. Each has multiple businesses and revenue sources designed to offset the swings in station revenue, as well as to pay for the high cost of purchasing new equipment required to remain competitive in today's complex broadcast world.
KOBI (Channel 5, NBC) is the oldest TV station (1953) of parent company California Oregon Broadcasting Inc., owned and operated by Patsy Smullin. COBI owns TV stations in Medford, Klamath Falls, and Eugene. KOBI-TV serves the largest number of households of any of the Medford television stations due to serving via microwave 11 counties. COBI owns cable systems in central and eastern Oregon and operates a high-end digital production company that caters to corporate and other video clients. And while KDRV is the local news leader by most key ratings, Patsy Smullin is the face of the local broadcast industry.
KDRV (Channel 12, ABC) is the Medford flagship for Chambers Communications, based in Eugene. Founded and owned by Carolyn S. Chambers, Chambers operates ABC affiliates in Medford, Eugene, Klamath Falls and Bend, has cable interests and a production/post-production video unit similar to that of COBI's, and owns the Oregon Sports Network. Since a management downsizing last summer, KDRV Market Manager Mark Hatfield's corporate responsibilities have increased; he now oversees news and programming in Bend and Eugene as well as Medford.
KTVL (Channel 10, CBS) is owned and operated by Freedom Communications, which recently emerged from Chapter 11 reorganization. Freedom has myriad media and related interests, including the Orange County Register, the daily newspaper in Orange County, Calif., and seven other medium-to-small-market television stations. Where KTVL's corporate owner once represented a substantial competitive edge due to its deep pockets, now that all its assets are on the auction block, KTVL's future is uncertain. Bids for Freedom's properties have been solicited but as of July 1, no media assets had been sold.
KMVU (Channel 26, Fox) is the Medford flagship for Fox Broadcasting. KMVU doesn't do local programming; it contracts out its news programming to KOBI. In Eugene, the situation is reversed: the Eugene Fox station, KLSR, provides news content for KOBI's sister station, KEVU. However, both stations are owned by COBI, KOBI's corporate owner. Another revenue stream for Patsy Smullin's media empire.
