My Alma Mater Star Valley High School in Afton, Wyoming were called the Cheese Makers, when my grandpa went to high school. The students voted to change the name to the Braves somewhere around the late 1930's or early 1940's. The Cheese Makers name came from the long rich history of the Star Valley Cheese Factory in Thayne, that is now sadly closed. When I was going to high school in the mid 1990's people would still try to degrade us, by calling us Cheese Makers. I actually wouldn't mind if they decided to change it back to the Cheese Makers, I think it would be one of the most unique mascots in the country.

Didn't the Highland High student body originally adopt a nickname like the
"Convicts" or "Criminals" because their school was built on the
site of the old State Prison? As I recall, the school board or District or some
governing body overturned that, but they went with the black and white colors
because of the old black and white stripped uniforms the prisoners used to
I think the Beet Diggers should definitely make this list (but if you went with Beat Diggers, it might be hip and modern:-)).
Others from our state that I think are odd or funny (although not necessarily worthy of this list) are:
Delta Rabbits (Rabbits are so ferocious)
Davis Darts (As I understand this they are a verb and not a noun. Their players are so dominating that they dart around the opposition, not the sharp pointy things you throw at a dart board or your brother)
Utah Jazz (since there is such a rich, ethnically influenced music history in Utah)
The Corner Canyon Chargers (not because it is so unusual, but because of the controversy over the desire not to offend middle-aged women by going with Cougars, which the students voted for)

@ Parry is a Farce,
I am a alumni of Davis High School. You are partially right about how Davis became the Darts. The story I heard from a former teacher of mine at Davis was the following: Back in the 1920's or 1930's Davis had a really fast football player. Everyone said he "darted around" so the name stuck and to this day they are the "Darts". If that is not the correct story, I would love to hear the correct one from any Davis High Alumni who might know.

When someone turns 10, 20, 30, 40, 50... it is common in Germany to say that they are celebrating their "runder Geburtstag" which is usually celebrated in a larger way, inviting a larger circle of people, etc.
When I translate this into English, I usually say, "she is celebrating her rounded birthday" but I don't think people really understand that out of a German context.
Is there a common expression for this in English?

Being a seasoned bartender in the Greater Boston area at a variety of venues, you can say I've had my fair share of interaction with bottles and cans. But, besides the different faces and menus, one major difference between each bar is the way in which they handle and recycle their bottles and cans.
I've had the meticulous cleanups shifts, with organized and designated recycling/waste areas, and I've also had the closing shifts that required dumping everything in one giant trash bag, disposing it into one canister, and calling it a day.
I've seen firsthand how much is wasted, and have wondered many times how we can fix this massive problem that's contributing to climate change, negative health impacts, lost money, and wasted resources.
By implementing a zero waste plan, which prioritizes meaningful community engagement, including providing and promoting greener jobs, as well as requiring businesses like this to recycle, we can turn this around and get Boston to zero waste by 2040.

Will Sounders act when transfer window opens?
Seattle's Fredy Montero is likely off to play in Portugal and Seattle could add a player or two
Instead, Montero was just saying hi to his friends, and perhaps saying goodbye to his the Sounders for good. There was always a strong possibility that Montero would not return when Seattle loaned him out to Millonarios, but the odds of him coming back are even smaller now in light of numerous reports that he will transfer to the Portuguese club Sporting Lisbon, one of the top teams in the Portugal's Primeira Liga, sometime after the international transfer window opens today.
While it is possible the Sounders, who still retain Montero's rights, could work out another loan, reports in the Portuguese media say a loan price of about 3 Million Euros has been agreed to between the clubs. Montero wouldn't confirm that any deal was done, but he didn't give much in the way of a denial either. Montero said nothing was official yet, but when asked about what it would mean to play for a big European club, he spoke as if the deal is all but done.
"It means a lot," Montero said. "That's my dream coming true. I hope to do good there. I was waiting for this opportunity the past years, and it is here now. Hopefully I can enjoy the opportunity like I've done with my other ones in the past."
But even if Montero's time with the Sounders comes to an official end in the next few days or weeks, he doesn't plan on being a stranger to the Seattle area. Montero's parents and sisters still live here, and his wife, who is expecting the couple's first child this fall, will stay in the area until after she has the baby.
"This is my second home," Montero said. "It is always going to be my second home."
When Montero left before the season, the hope was that it would be win-win situation for player and club. He wanted a chance to advance his career, both at the club and national team level, and the Sounders, while happy with Montero's production, saw a potential benefit in shaking things up after four years of playoff disappointment.
Montero still has work to do to make Colombia's World Cup squad, but the expected move to Portugal indicates his career is on the rise. Meanwhile, the Sounders hope current leading scorer Obafemi Martins -- a player they couldn't have signed with Montero still on the team -- helps put the team over the top come playoff time.
"For Fredy the experience of trying something else, I think he had great success here with the Sounders -- so for him to be able to try Europe or try in South America again to see where he's at was a great experience for him," Sounders sporting director Chris Henderson said. "He was very important for us in our success getting to the playoffs every year and winning Open Cups. I think we're both happy where we're at and I think he has great feeling towards the club."
And while the transfer window likely will see Montero leaving for Europe, there's a good chance it could see the Sounders make an addition or two as well. General manager Adrian Hanauer has mentioned on several occasions that the Sounders are cap constrained, and they have their limit of three designated players in Mauro Rosales, Shalrie Joseph and Martins, so a splashy signing may not be in the works. Still, Seattle does have some cap room to work with, so some sort of move is hardly out of the question.
"Like every window that opens, it's really busy and agents are pumping players your way, and we have some guys that we're looking at," Henderson said. "We have some cash available to look for players, but we'll still pursuing the search and (being) really active. We'll see how it plays out."
And Henderson wouldn't rule out that his team could work things out to add a DP if the right player was available. There are almost always ways under Major League Soccer's complex salary cap rules to add a DP even after a team has three, whether that's tweaking a contract to change a player's status, or simply parting ways with a player, as Seattle did when it bought out Christian Tiffert before the season.
"We have some flexibility, not a bunch at the moment," Henderson said when asked about designated players.
When it comes to adding players during this transfer window, there is usually more talent available now than before the MLS season because most leagues in the world are currently in their offseason. MLS clubs aren't in a situation of trying to pry a player away from a team that's in-season, as Seattle did with Martins.
However, adding a player this time of year is also tricky because teams are potentially adding a significant piece to a roster that already has established a bond, and team chemistry could be affected. While Blaise Nkufo, a summer of 2010 signing, was a big contributor that season, he and the team decided to part ways just before the start of the 2011 season.
Of all of Seattle's significant summer additions, only 2009 signee Leo Gonzalez is still with the team. However, a short tenure doesn't necessarily make a move a bad one if the player helps the Sounders win in the playoffs.
"When you're scouting it's hard to know how a guy's going to come here and adjust -- some of them have worked and some haven't -- you just have to take that chance and do as much work in the background as possible," Henderson said.
"... It's a little bit hit or miss whether the guy's going to stay, but at least the quality we hope will make the difference in us winning a championship. That's the ultimate goals is winning an MLS Cup, so you want to get a guy who can make a difference."
Herald Writer John Boyle: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Past key summer additions for the Sounders
(D) Leo Gonzalez — Has been a regular in Seattle's starting lineups over the past four-plus seasons.
(FW) Blaise Nkufo and (MF) Alvaro Fernandez — Neither is with the team currently. Nkufo lasted just half a season and Fernandez was traded in 2012, but both played big roles in helping Seattle finish 9-2-2 that year and clinch another playoff berth.
(MF) Mario Martinez and (MF) Christian Tiffert — Tiffert, signed as a designated player, was bought out in the offseason. With Martinez's loan having expired without a new deal, all signs point to his Sounders tenure being over, too. Both players contributed last season, and Martinez scored the goal that produced Seattle's first playoff series win.

A Proceedings Magazine 2010 Notable Naval Book
A Navy pioneer, Vice Adm. Samuel Gravely was the first African American to be commissioned a flag officer in the U.S. Navy, the first to command a Navy ship in the twentieth century, and the first to command a U.S. numbered fleet. In this memoir, co-authored by the noted naval historian Paul Stillwell, Gravely describes his life from his boyhood in Richmond, Virginia, through his officer service on board a World War II submarine chaser, to later tours of duty at sea and ashore. Denied housing and even jailed for impersonating an officer, he recounts efforts to overcome both cultural and institutional obstacles posed by racism as he rose through the ranks. In 2009, the Navy named the guided missile destroyer Gravely in his honor.
Vice Adm. Samuel L. Gravely Jr., USN (Ret.), was commissioned as an ensign in 1944, served on board U.S. Navy combatant ships in three wars, and was promoted to rear admiral in 1971. He retired in 1980 and died in 2004.
Paul Stillwell is the editor of the award-winning The Golden Thirteen: Recollections of the First Black Naval Officers. He lives in Arnold, MD.
~ Praise for Trailblazer ~
"Gravely's biography, Trailblazer: The U.S. Navy's First Black Admiral, is the heartfelt tale of how education, hard work, perseverance and luck came together for a remarkable and inspirational leader."
-- Ho'okele News (Pearl Harbor - Hickam News)
"Trailblazer, The U.S. Navy's First Black Admiral, is a tour de force first-person account of the life of Samuel L. Gravely, Jr. In his youth, he learned well the lessons of Jim Crow in his home-town of Richmond, Virginia. In spite of the various obstacles placed in his path by a narrow-minded society, he went on to become one of the first African Americans to be commissioned as an officer and, ultimately, as the very first African American officer to attain flag rank in the U.S. Navy. One certainly need not be a fan or student of the military realm to appreciate the dedication and drive of this remarkable man, who overcame, with great courage, grace, and poise, every challenge he faced as the trailblazer."
-- Conway B. Jones, Jr. The Post Newspaper Group
"Trailblazer, The U.S. Navy's First Black Admiral", is a tour de force first-person account of the life of Samuel L. Gravely, Jr. In his youth, he learned well the lessons of Jim Crow in his home-town of Richmond, Virginia. In spite of the various obstacles placed in his path by a narrow-minded society, he went on to become one of the first African Americans to be commissioned as an officer and, ultimately, as the very first African American officer to attain flag rank in the U.S. Navy. Admiral Gravely tells his story with the help of Paul Stillwell, who is a Navy veteran, editor and author of "The Golden Thirteen: Recollections of the First Black Naval Officers." In the Trailblazer book, we see through Admiral Gravely's eyes and in his voice how he climbed the ladder in the Navy to become the first African American to command a ship, the first to command a fleet, and the first to become an admiral in 1971. His ground-breaking achievements were a tribute to his deeply ingrained strength of character, fiercely dedicated temperament, and dogged perseverance. Trailblazer also details the personal legacy of Admiral Gravely, the husband and family man, as seen through the eyes of his devoted and loving wife, Alma, including their whirlwind courtship, which lead to their marriage in 1946 – a rich and full union that lasted 58 years – to the death of their beloved older son Robbie in 1978, and finally to Alma's making peace with the certainty of his impending death. "Sammie," as Alma affectionately referred to the Admiral, very wisely drew from a diverse pool of experiences, as well as from leadership examples provided by his fellow officers, in modeling his own command style during his impressive naval service career. He became THE role model to emulate and set a fine example for thousands of African American naval officers who came after him. Admiral Gravely poignantly describes one of the more distasteful aspects that made an excruciatingly painful and enduring impression on him during his first duty posting, after his graduation from midshipman school in December 1941. He had returned to Camp Robert Smalls , where he had started his naval service two years earlier, only to find that he was still living in a very clearly segregated world. The naval training station at Great Lakes had quarters for white officers, but not for him. The officer's club was open to white officers, but not to him. To add insult to injury, after he pulled daily watches encompassing the whole camp, he had to return to the distinctly separate "Black camp" each night to sleep. Gravely, regarding this blatant disparity in the service ranks (and society as a whole) as a formidable obstacle, noted, "This was one of the hardest things for me to take of anything that happened to me during my Navy career." Admiral Gravely always relished and welcomed any and every opportunity for additional training, personal enrichment, and overall challenge of being a part of something new. Continuous educational growth formed the bulwark of his life's mantra. He never knew what he would encounter in the next stage of his life, but he knew for certain what he was leaving behind. He just wanted to be "a regular sailor." Samuel L. Gravely was "a regular sailor" … and then some! As Rear Admiral Barry C. Black, USN (Ret.) said in his advanced praise of the book, "Vice Admiral Samuel L. Gravely, Jr. blazed a trail of courage, hospitality, humility, excellence, faithfulness, and patriotism. His pioneering accomplishments opened doors of opportunity for thousands, enabling me to become the Chief of Navy Chaplains and the 62nd Chaplain of the Unites States Senate. I stand on his strong shoulders." Trailblazer is an inspiring story about an exceptionally unique barrier-breaking and visionary gentleman, Vice Admiral Samuel L. Gravely, Jr., USN. It is a very humbling regular sailor's account of triumph and growth in the face of adversity and of his awe inspiring legacy to our Nation and our U.S. Navy. One certainly need not be a fan or student of the military realm to appreciate the dedication and drive of this remarkable man, who overcame, with great courage, grace, and poise, every challenge he faced as the Trailblazer.

Tickets are $10.00 and available at the Student Association Ticket Office or online.
The concert is artistically directed and produced by Jonette Lancos, professor of dance and artistic director of the dance ensemble. The program will feature "Feardom," a choreographed collaboration between Mark Broomfield, assistant professor of theatre and dance and a 1994 Geneseo graduate, and guest artists Adrienne Hawkins, artistic director of the Impulse Dance Company at Mount Holyoke College, and consummate cabaret artist Nathan Lee Graham of stage, film and television. The dance work interprets the choices to either live in fear or freedom.
Other performances include an original classical ballet by Lancos,, "Symphony in C: Allegro vivo," inspired by George Balanchine, to music of George Bizet, and a traditional modern work, "In Keeping," based on America's classic Humphrey-Weidman movement style and technique.
"Swingin' the Blues" choreographed by adjunct faculty member Deborah Scodese French, a 1985 Geneseo graduate, features a sultry, blues jazz dance with a hint of swing to music by Eva Cassidy and Peggy Lee. "Organisation," a rhythmic, modern-based work by adjunct faculty member Jody C. DeLoria explores the dichotomy of machines and human systems.
Guest Artist Melanie Aceto, associate professor of dance at the University at Buffalo and a 1995 Geneseo graduate, will present "Merge", a work for ten dancers to an original score by Liz Holland, where independent individuals sequentially evolve to form a dynamic conglomerate. Another guest artist, Merete Muenter, a New York City choreographer and 1986 Geneseo graduate, staged "Cave Paintings/Hieroglyphics," a two part modern jazz dance focusing on prehistoric storytelling using the artwork of cave paintings and ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.
"46Live: New Voices, Bold Moves" is directed by Lancos with Broomfield and students Erin Girard and Megan Killea, both seniors. Senior Kelsey Bendlin will stage manage the show, with student lighting designers mentored by theatre faculty and technical director Johnnie Ferrell and Steven Stubblefield, associate professor and chair of the Department of Theatre and Dance. Crystal Ferrell, visiting assistant professor of theatre and dance, is designing and coordinating the costumes with Nicole Carso, a 2011 Geneseo graduate.
Support for the production comes from generous donors to the Dance Studies Program through The Geneseo Foundation.

Heavy fog has caused school delays and interrupted dozens of flights at Detroit's and Grand Rapids' airports.
The National Weather Service issued advisories for Monday warning people around the state to be cautious because of possible fog. Some delays in the start of school were reported in southeastern Michigan communities near the Monroe area, as well as in some areas of southwestern Michigan.
At least 40 flights at Detroit Metropolitan Airport in Romulus have been delayed or cancelled, and flight delays of 20 minutes to two hours have happened at Gerald Ford International Airport in Grand Rapids.
Visibility was less than a quarter mile at times. Misty conditions prevailed around much of the state Monday night.

So what do you all have to ofer the ever increasing number of people who have or are developing allergies to anything with Soy in it. I myself cannot eat even chacolate, cocoa or anything that has soy bean as an emulsifier in it let alone where the cheap soy oil has been used by the food indusrty to replace all the other oils available to food products?
If you could have an informative article like that the size and scope of this one, That would be worth something. betta wont though to challenging. Yahoos writers always pefer the "Easy Button"

Will Our Polarization Cripple Us?
It was only a matter of time before our polarized politics threatened to destroy a president's authority and call into question our country's ability to act in the world. Will Congress let that happen?
To raise this is not to denigrate those, left and right, who deeply believe that the United States should temper its international military role. Nor is it to claim that President Obama's proposed strikes on Syria in response to Bashar al-Assad's use of chemical weapons constitute some sort of "slam dunk" policy that should win automatic assent. But a bitter past hangs over this debate and could overwhelm a discussion of what's actually at stake.
The wretched experience of Iraq is leading many Democrats to see Obama's intervention in Syria as little different from what came before. Never mind that the evidence of Assad's use of chemical weapons against his own people is far clearer than the evidence was about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, or that Obama has been so reluctant to take military action up to now. It's a paradox: While hawks criticize Obama for not being willing to act boldly enough against Assad, doves criticize him for being too willing to risk a wider war. Members of Obama's party have to understand the risks of forcing him to walk away from a red line that he drew for good reason.
At the same time, Democrats will never forget how their patriotism and fortitude were questioned when they challenged President Bush on Iraq and other post-9/11 policies. Yes, Bush did sign a fundraising letter before the 2006 midterm election that spoke of Democrats "who will wave the white flag of surrender in the global war on terror and deny the tools needed to achieve victory." At a campaign event that year, he said of Democrats: "It sounds like they think the best way to protect the American people is to wait until we're attacked again."
I bring this up only to remind Republicans opposing Obama on Syria -- and I'm not talking about the consistent anti-interventionist libertarians -- that some in their party are making arguments now that they condemned Democrats for making not very long ago. Can we ever break this cycle of recrimination?
Obama bears responsibility here, too. Precisely because he had been so unwilling to intervene in Syria, he has handed opponents of his policy some of the very arguments they are using against him. Until Obama decided that the chemical attacks required a strong response, he was wary of getting involved because the United States has reason to fear victory by either side in Syria. His old view may have been reasonable, but it can easily be invoked to undercut his current one.
The question now is whether Congress really wants to incapacitate the president for three long years. My hunch is that it won't. This is why Republicans such as John Boehner, Eric Cantor, and John McCain and Democrats such as Nancy Pelosi, Chris Van Hollen, and Gerry Connolly all find themselves battling to give Obama authority to act. The inconsistency of some Republicans shouldn't blind us to the fact that others in the GOP are taking courageous risks to avoid paralyzing the president.
They will not prevail, however, unless Obama makes an unabashedly moral case on Tuesday explaining why things are different than they were a few months ago while laying out a practical strategy beyond the strikes. He must do something very difficult: to show that his approach could succeed, over time, in replacing Assad with a new government without enmeshing the United States in a land conflict involving troops on the ground.
The administration's view is that only a negotiated settlement will produce anything like a decent and stable outcome in Syria -- and that only forceful American action now will put the United States in a position to get the parties to the table. It's not tidy or an easy sell, but it's a plausible path consistent with what the U.S. can and can't do.
If Obama wins this fight, as he must, he should then set about restoring some consensus about America's world role. He has to show how a priority on "nation-building at home" can be squared with our international responsibilities. The seriousness of this crisis should also push Republicans away from reflexive anti-Obamaism, Rush Limbaugh-style talk show madness, extreme anti-government rhetoric, and threats to shut Washington down.
If we want to avoid becoming a second-class nation, we have to stop behaving like one.

Dionne is right about the mess that we're in. Nonetheless, I do not see that militarily attacking Syria without widespread international support is morally or politically justified. We can't rightly seek to solve the problems we have brought on ourselves by waging war on another people. Obama needs help in figuring out a way to increase non-military pressure on Assad's government. He himself ought to show his willingness to search for alternatives to military attacks.
I do not think a no vote on the proposed authorization bill we now have (as voted on by the Senate committee) would necessarily "paralyze the President," as Dionne contends. On the contrary, such a vote should trigger and national reasessment and debate on the ever increasing powers being usurped by the Chief Executive/Commander and Chief, in all areas, but especially in the use of military force, and, also, we can hope, a reasessement and clarification of the use of force at any time by the US in our foreign policy. This should clarify when, and if, the President can act on his own in using military force for any reason other than a direct attack, or imminent direct attack, on the US or an ally by treaty. For the last 30+ years, Presidents seem to have taken upon themselves more and more unilateral powers, although sometimes "granted" by inaction or complicity of the Congress, which seem way beyond what the Constitution allows, or, what the American public wishes. Such a re-evaluation may actually strenghten the President's hand by clearly defining his prerogatives in this area and the limits.
One short point on a "no" vote's ability to "incapacitate" the president. That is totally hypothetical; we have never seen such a thing in living memory. The closest we came was the Senate slapping down Woodrow Wilson's push to join the League of Nations. Wilson entered his final illness before the Senate vote, so we don't really know what effect that would have had. When presidents have launched war offensives, they have always won. So we don't know what will happen if Congress says no this time.
It's surprising to see a guy as intelligent as E.J. Dionne nattering on about "polarization" like so many other clueless commentators. What he calls "polarization" has really been the pervasive unwillingness of the Republicans to compromise with the Democrats. The Republicans' ultimate motives for opposing the bombing of Syria may be to "cripple" Obama, but at least they have moved away from their traditional warmongering lunacy. They are in fact joining with Democrats of conscience who understand the folly of intervention in Syria. This is, on the surface at least, a dramatic compromise. Unfortunately, some Democrats who have traditionally been anti-war are now also compromising with—Obama.
Where in all this bloviating is the concern for the 'local Christians' who have been there since New Testament times? The discussion is turned into comments on the various political and 'realpolitik' manoeuvers in assorted Western capitols, and local politics in those Western countries (and now Russia) and dealing with various Muslim sects. I find that a very mistaken emphasis -- especially from those concerned with Christian mercy and justice. [At least the Russians take their official Orthodoxy seriously enough to bring in Christian concerns.] Anyone who looks more than superficially can see that in North Africa, Egypt, Syria -- and in general within the 'Arab Spring' the centuries long more or less stable status of the minority Christian communities is put aside and/or ignored. What a tragedy!

In Martin Fowler's book Refactoring, Fowler speaks of how when developers learn something new, they don't consider when it's inappropriate for the job:
Ten years ago it was like that with objects. If someone asked me when not to use objects, it was hard to answer. [...] It was just that I didn't know what those limitations were, although I knew what the benefits were.
Reading this, it occurred to me I don't know what the limitations or potential disadvantages of Object-Oriented Programming are.
What are the limitations of Object Oriented Programming? When should one look at a project and think "OOP is not best suited for this"?

A Bowling Green couple kicked-off 2013 by giving birth to their second son at 5:42 this morning.
For Cambodian parents Jenny and Hout Chhor having the first baby of the new year is just an added perk to what their baby's birth means to them.
"This year is very special because it only happens once in every 12 cycles," Hout says.
He's talking about the Year of the Dragon, which he says is the best of the best for the Chinese Horoscope.
He believes little Blazen Hunter is destined for success.
"I consider maybe he will be a good leader a strong leader," the proud father says.
For this new mother putting her happiness into words is more difficult.
Having lived in America for only sixteen years, Jenny does not fully know English.
But there were few words needed for the love she has for her 7.9 lbs baby boy.
"Happy... very excited... very happy," Jenny says.
And as dad watches over his son, he knows the first of each year will now have more meaning.
"He's wonderful, he's really amazing," he says.
The couple was given a gift basket filled with baby essentials courtesy of the Medical Center.
Little Blazen Hunter Chhor was the only baby born in Bowling Green this morning.

After downloading Ubuntu 12.10 and using the Wubi option to install through windows 7 I hit a road block. I partitioned the
C: drive to install Linux and did the primary install no worries.
But, after I get the prompt to reboot, which I do, I choose Ubuntu and the installation starts just fine. It loads to the point of "copying files" and the progress bar moves along to approximately 2/3 but that's it. It freezes there for around 30mins and then the spinning mouse stops and I'm locked out all together. Nothing works. I have to hold down the off button and force a shutdown.
I'm doing this on a newly purchased Toshiba Satellite P875D with 16Gb RAM, 640Gb HHD and an AMD A8 4500 x64 quad core processor. I split the partition giving Linux 50Gb of space which is more than enough.
Does anyone know why I'm getting this problem? I shouldn't have to burn a CD or create a USB to boot from with Wubi but I will if this is where everything is going wrong.

Special to The Voice-Tribune
To many, one of the great pleasures of homeownership is the chance to express yourself through the plants you choose to plant in your own garden. But to those who grew up in a brown-thumb home, the prospect of picking plants for your new home's landscape can be about as daunting as doing your own neurosurgery.
Fortunately, at Yew Dell Botanical Gardens, we're here to help. Whether you are a bona-fide garden geek or a member of the brown-thumb hall of fame, Yew Dell's annual Plant Sale and Garden Market (April 28 and 29; www.yewdellgardens.org) offers hundreds of plant choices, all staff-tested and recommended for local gardens.
Here's a few…
Yellow-flowered Magnolias
Most folks know the pink/white ones, locally known as tulip magnolias. Well there are glorious yellows out there as well. Growing to 30 to 45 feet tall, these delightful trees offer bright summer shade, adaptability to a wide range of soils and light up the spring garden with their fragrant lemon-yellow blooms.
New Dogwoods: Like dogwoods? How about Venus, a new hybrid with white blooms that can reach 7 inch in diameter! And if something more extravagant is your style, how about 'Celestial Shadow's new variegated form – each leaf a mixture of green and yellow – a color show that lasts all summer! Both selections like rich, moist soil and full sun or partial shade.
New Redbuds
The list of new selections has exploded in recent years. The new lineup includes yellow-leafed forms, burgundy-leafed selections, weepers, dwarfs, variegated leaves and even some with bright fuchsia flowers. Give any of the redbuds full sun, well-drained soil and a bit of water through the dry months and you'll soon have all the garden clubs clamoring for your membership!
What's a barrenwart and why would I want one in my garden? Known botanically as Epimediums, the list includes scores of species and varieties and we've never found a dud in the group! Mostly herbaceous groundcovers for the shade garden, Epimediums spread slowly, most topping out at 6 18 inches tall with delicate spring leaves and airy flowers from white to yellow, orange, red and lavender. Once established, they can handle a fairly dry spot but always do a bit better with some kind irrigation through the driest part of the year.
Many home gardeners know the frustration of the never-blooming hydrangea, but there is a long list of beautiful and reliable garden selections. Start out with 'Little Honey' the dwarf, yellow-leafed oakleaf hydrangea that glows in the garden all summer long. Invincibelle Spirit, a pink-flowered selection of a Kentucky native, is a reliably-blooming pink selection new to the market. For a fun garden flourish, try 'Ryan Gainey' a 3 to 4 feet mounted plant with ruffled double white flowers – a great selection for the evening garden. And to top it off, why not try 'Miranda' a gold-edge-leafed climbing hydrangea that loves to ramble over rock walls and climb fences and garages. Give all these hydrangeas a little afternoon shade, a touch of compost mixed into the planting hole and even moisture through the summer and they'll make your brown thumb sprout green!

I'm running a dual-boot Windows XP/Ubuntu system, and I'd like to increase the size of the Ubuntu partition at the expense of the Windows partition.
I've already shrunk the Windows partition, creating a large unallocated space between the Windows and Ubuntu partitions. See screenshot below.
I'd like to move my Ubuntu partition to the start of the unallocated space, and then increase its size to encompass all of the unallocated space.
Once I try and move it using the GParted liveCD, but it tells me to expect big GRUB issues since I'm moving my Ubuntu partition's start sector.
What is it that I should expect, and how do I handle it?

I followed the steps letter by letter in this post... Gnome 3.2 problems in the shell
However I have come to a problem that I don't know how to solve... It is saying that package build has failed and it could not process the .deb file. I would like to install this as it increases performance of Unity. I have an ATi Mobility HD4250 Graphics Card. I also have been using the drivers that came out of the box with Unity, didn't install the ones from the Additional Drivers list..
Now after all of that, it says it can't open the driver installer.
Ok now with this new driver installed, everything appears to be choppy... It didn't do that with the drivers that came in Unity. I thought these were supposed to be an improvement?

I have just begun studying quantum field theory and am following the book by Peskin and Schroeder for that. So while quantising the Klein Gordon field, we Fourier expand the field and then work only in the momentum space. What is the need for this expansion?
First of all, this is just a change of basis, which is up to us to make. Furthermore we should always choose a basis that makes our calculations easier, and hopefully makes things more intuitive. For a simpler example - just try finding the volume of a sphere in cartesian coordinates, its just a bad choice.
Second of all, you don't have to use a Fourier basis, to my knowledge everything -loops renormalization etc can be done in a position basis.
Now as to why the Fourier basis is a convenient choice:
(1) It simplifies derivative terms in the Lagrangian - as usual the Fourier basis turns derivative expressions into algebraic ones, which are much easier to manipulate.
(2) It it more intuitive - written in terms of a Fourier basis the Feynman rules are in terms of momentum. So for example at the vertices momentum is conserved - its just a nice tidy way to think about whats happening at the vertex.
(3) Even if you start in position space, one method for doing the integrals you will encounter when writing for your loop expressions will be going to momentum space - so you sort of cut this step out from the outset.
(4) (following up on Vibert's comment) Plane waves are the basis we do the experiment in. That is, we send in wave packets highly localized in p space, i.e. this is the exact solution we perturb around.
Free equations are linear, so exponentials are their solutions. Thus we construct a linear superposition of exponentials to embrace a general case.
Interactions are supposed to change amplitudes of particular waves in these superpositions.
I think it's also important to emphasize the physical significance of the Fourier modes in the context of QFT. The Fourier modes $a^\dagger(\mathbf k)$ and $a(\mathbf k)$ in the context of the quantized Klein-Gordon field, for example, create and destroy particles with momentum $\mathbf k$ respectively. Namely, if $|\emptyset\rangle$ is the vacuum of the theory, then $$ a^\dagger(\mathbf k)|\emptyset\rangle $$ gives a state with a single particle of momentum $\mathbf k$, and more generally $$ a^\dagger(\mathbf k_1)a^\dagger(\mathbf k_2)\cdots a^\dagger(\mathbf k_N)|\emptyset\rangle $$ represents a state with $N$ particles with momentum $\mathbf k_1, \mathbf k_2, \dots, \mathbf k_N$ respectively.

Overheard: "Sure I eat a well-balanced diet. I just eat it too often."
So the police were called to an apartment. They found a woman holding a bloody three-iron standing over a lifeless man.
The detective asked, "ma'am, is that your husband?"
The woman replied yes.
"Did you hit him with that golf club?"
"Yes, yes, I did." The woman began to sob, dropped the club and put her hands on her face.
"How many times did you hit him," asked the detective.
She replied, "I don't know - put me down for a five."
I read where it is easier to get older than it is to get wiser.
The Mike Garan family on Scenery Drive Weirton exemplify the classic American profile of "exceptionally good neighbors. "
There was lots of rejoicing and smiles when Weirton United Way presented a gala Super Bowl Eve tailgate party at the Knights of Columbus Hall Feb. 2. The hall was packed with more than 200 civic-minded people enjoying food and beverages in celebration of not only the big game, but the opportunity to support the city's major charity. Huge thanks to all who attended. Your generosity help push the campaign to within reach of the $280,000 goal.
Kudos to WTOV-TV and First Choice America Community Federal Credit Union, major sponsors of the big tailgate party to raise funds for the 15 United Way agencies.
Congratulations to all those involved in putting this fun-filled event together. Thanks to the many local businesses who helped with a variety of auction prizes.
Kris Gillette of Weirton had the winning ticket for the grand prize of a 55-inch television and $500 gift card to the NFL Shop. Realistically, however, the real winners were the United Way agencies who feed, nourish and care for the unfortunate in our community all year-long.
At the party, it was nice to chat with my old friend, Jim O'Brien of Starvaggi Industries - a devoted United Way supporter, as was the late Don Donell, who headed the company.
Quoting Joseph Pulitzer: "A newspaper should have two roles - to comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable."
"I've spent most of my life golfing. The rest I've just wasted."

A universal thought: "Born to golf. Forced to work."
I had never heard of "retail therapy" until recently. It means a shopping safari to uplift one's spirits.
According to news reports, the cheapest seats for Super Bowl 47 were about $2,067 in the far end of the field.

9 Absurd Movie Premises That Actually Happened
#3. The Guy Who Can't Say No From Yes Man
The Ridiculous Premise
Jim Carrey, never afraid to go back to the same well twice, made two movies about the wacky hijinks and life changes of a guy who arbitrarily can't say certain things. First there was Liar Liar, about a divorced lawyer who couldn't lie because of a magic spell accidentally cast by his son. Then, 11 years later, there was Yes Man, about a divorced banker who couldn't say the word "no" because ... a seminar told him not to?
Could you say no to General Zod?
Yeah, the second one kind of makes less sense than the one that had the magic spell.
The Reality
The film is actually based on a guy in England named Danny Wallace who vowed to spend six months without saying "no" to anyone, all because he ran into a random guy on the bus who told him, "Say yes more."
The experiment didn't exactly go the way the movie version did (probably because of all of the rewrites it takes to turn a true story into a Jim Carrey film), but not because Wallace chose to half-ass anything. For instance, because Wallace couldn't say "no" to a clear scam offer, he went to Amsterdam to claim the millions he was told he had won in the Spanish lottery. (Surprise: There was no money.)
But after a while, it didn't seem to matter somehow.
Over the course of six months, he did wind up saying "no" twice, once to another round of beers and once to a woman asking for sex. He turned the girl down because he was in love with a woman who lived in Australia. They didn't think their relationship could work, but through the power of "yes," the two saw each other several times, fell in love and are now married. The same as how in the movie, Jim Carrey wound up with Zooey Deschanel. We're assuming Danny Wallace went on to open a detective agency specifically for pets.
Via Sherlockstooshi
He also rules over a small kingdom. No, we're not making that up.
#2. The Juror Who Takes Over the Investigation From 12 Angry Men
The Ridiculous Premise
We previously called out the stage and film classic 12 Angry Men on its wildly illegal criminal trial. Specifically because the film -- which is about a jury wrestling over a murder case with seemingly slam-dunk evidence -- involves one juror turning the whole case around by basically taking the investigation into his own hands. He even buys a knife similar to the murder weapon, to prove a point.
"This has a point."
It's the kind of "who cares what rules we break as long as we catch the bad guy" B.S. that you see in every crime or courtroom drama on TV. In the real world, however, rules matter. If you try to pull something like that, the whole case gets thrown out.
The Reality
Well, usually.
In Sunderland, U.K., a man was put on trial in the murder of a cabdriver back in 2008. Just as in the movie, one juror decided the defense team just wasn't doing a good-enough job.
During a recess, this juror snuck out of his court-appointed hotel room and visited the crime scene. He took pictures, did his own measurements and researched forensic techniques. He even questioned a witness. And make no mistake, England has strict jury-conduct rules, just like everybody else.
Plus on lunch breaks they hunt down Scottish people, just like any other civilized nation.
But rather than throw out the case, the judge did just what a Hollywood judge would do -- he accepted the evidence, and the murderer was found not guilty because the juror proved the prosecution's case was "fatally flawed."
"He's not actually dead, for one."
#1. The All-Powerful Hackers From Live Free or Die Hard
The Ridiculous Premise
The fourth Die Hard, aka The One With Computers, aka The One Where McClane Just Flat-Out Becomes a Superhero, involves hackers infiltrating computer systems nationwide. They take over everything from the FBI mainframe to the power grid, shutting down communications and wiping out electricity on the whole East Coast.
It may be the silliest example of Hollywood's recent trend of treating hackers like magicians and computers like magic wands, as if a few clicks on the keyboard could let a roomful of geeks completely cripple a superpower.
"Well, there goes China."
Hell, the franchise should have just gone back to that thing where somebody fakes a terror attack to cover a heist. It's more believable, right?
"I know this has something to do with robbing that bank downtown, but I'll be damned if I can remember how."
The Reality
In 1997, the Joint Chiefs of Staff authorized a "no notice" cyberattack exercise called Eligible Receiver. A team of 35 hackers, called the Red Team, were hired to pose as North Korean operatives. They were ordered to attack the Pacific Command Headquarters and a bunch of secondary targets, including the Pentagon.
They got in with ease. They did it by guessing passwords through trial and error, and if that didn't work, they just called and asked for access. Once inside the system, they created accounts for themselves, deleted official accounts, reformatted hard drives, scrambled data, shut networks down, read sensitive emails, disrupted phone service and "generally raised merry hell." And we're not talking about just annoying some IT staff and replacing people's desktop wallpaper with inter-species porn -- the hackers gained the ability to deny the Pentagon the ability to deploy forces. How is that possible!?
Eh, war. What's it good for?
But, you may say, these are hackers hired by the NSA, and this was a worst-case scenario of top-end operatives using the best hacking tools the NSA could provide. It's not like Anonymous could mount this kind of operation from their collective basements. Right?
Actually, the members of the Red Team were told they could only use software available free online and were forbidden to even break any laws.
As for the whole "shutting down the power grid" stuff, during mission debriefing, NSA officials found that the rest of the country's infrastructure was just as vulnerable as they made it look in Die Hard, and a similar attack could easily crash the power grid and damage the country's money supply.
We doubt we'd notice much of a difference.
Fortunately, the warnings sounded by Eligible Receiver were heard, safeguards were implemented, and U.S. government computers became impenetrable targets. Just kidding. A year later, 200 government systems were hacked, including those of the military, NASA, the Department of Energy and freaking nuclear weapons laboratories.
The part about there being a John McClane to save us, that's real too, right? Right?
He will rise again!

Unanswered: Remove Tree Node leaf icon
Is it possible to remove a tree nodes icon? Setting the iconCls to x-tree-noicon used to work in 3.x, is there something equivalent that can be done with 4.x?
26 Oct 2011 9:43 PM #2
I don't believe there's a CSS class built in but you can craft one pretty easily. From the title of your post I assume you want to remove icons for all leaf nodes? For that you could do something like this:
Ext.create('Ext.tree.Panel', { cls: 'no-leaf-icons', ... });Code:
.no-leaf-icons .x-tree-icon-leaf { visibility: hidden; width: 2px; /* Adjust width to suit */ }
.no-leaf-icons .x-tree-icon-leaf { display: none !important; }ConsultJS: http://consultjs.com/

5 Ways to Legally Punch People in the Face in Cape Town
Are you having a bad day? Have you seen too many celebrity baby names? Too much much excessive punctuation? Is Justin Bieber on the radio?
It's ok. Life is full of petty torments. You may want to punch someone in the face. But you can't. It's illegal. Right?
Wrong! Here are 5 martial arts in Cape Town that perfectly combine fitness, spirituality and violence to sooth your soul and make everything right again in the universe:
1. Dragon Power – Muay Thai and Mixed Martial Arts
Dragon Power is one of Cape Town's leading gyms and fitness centres, roundhouse kicked into creation 11 years ago by Quenton 'Dragon' Chong, a former World Muay Thai Champion. Muay Thai (The Art of 8 Limbs") is Dragon Power's core martial art, a combat sport much like kick boxing (4 limbs) but with extra weapons courtesy of legal knees and elbow strikes (the other 4 limbs) and nasty clinch fighting (stand-up grappling). Muay Thai is the most commonly used striking art in Mixed Martial Arts today because of its directness, simplicity and power.
The gym has its fair share of stars, with numerous champions, formers champions and most of the South African team in its colours, not to mention Hollywood celebrities who have trained under Chong's banner, including Randy Couture, Wesley Snipes, Pierce Brosnan and Steven Seagal. These guys (including Mr Miyagi!) and others adorn the walls alongside numerous models (Tanit Phoenix) and other South African celebrities (Colin Moss) who have trained at the gym.
Like many high profile gyms, Dragon Power is not all about the fighters and celebrities, offering core services to the ordinary oddball on the lookout for fun and addictive fitness training. The school's also offers Mixed Martial Arts classes, Brazilian Jujitsu, self-defence, classes for kids, personal lifestyle advice and CQP courses for security guards and personal bodyguards. It also hosts Fight Nights, which draw many of the beautiful people of Cape Town.

2. Karate Zen – Okinawan Karate
According to Grand Master and Karate author Shoshin Nagamine, "Karate may be considered as the conflict within oneself or as a life-long marathon which can be won only through self-discipline, hard training and one's own creative efforts."
Karate (translated as "open hand") is a striking art using punches, kicks, knee strikes, elbow strikes and open hand techniques such as knife-hands, spear-hands, including palm-heel strikes. Some forms of Karate, such as Karate-Zen's Okinawan Goju Ryu (hard-soft style), also include grappling techniques.
Karate-Zen (established in 1971) teaches Karate as a sport, including all the way up to provincial and national levels, weapons training and kumite (sparring) and kata (form). The school has spread throughout the Western Cape and into Namibia and England, with over 40 dojos in South Africa alone, including over 3,000 members and 140 registered black belts.
Karate is represented at the highest levels of striking in Mixed Martial Arts and K1 by the likes of Semmy Schilt , Lyoto 'The Dragon' Machida, Georges "Rush" St Pierre, Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva" and Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell, who have had formidable success against all styles.

Northern Shaolin Long Fist includes 10 bare-hand forms, including the various famous animals (Tiger Style!), and weapons like the saber, straight sword and spear. Likewise Hong Quan includes Tiger, Crane, Snake, Leopard and Dragon styles and include forms like the Subduing Tiger Fist, Iron Wire and Tiger-Crane, as well as halberds, fans and umbrellas.

5. Gracie Jiu-jitsu – Brazilian Jiu-jitsu
The core tenet of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is that a smaller, weaker combatant is able to defend and defeat a much larger and more powerful opponent through the use of leverage, technique and submission chokes and holds.
This philosophy was executed during the Ultimate Fight Championship when the Gracie family (founders of the art) sent one of the smallest members (Royce Gracie, at 80kgs) to fight against monstrous opponents, some over 30kgs heavier than him. Royce revolutionised martial arts when he dominated all opposition from all martial arts at consecutive tournaments. The world took notice.
Today Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a component of almost every modern fighters' training as well as many of the world's military programs. The art emphasizes taking an opponent to the ground and maximising mechanical advantages over physical strength, allowing practitioners to neutralise and submit their adversaries, making it suitable for anyone of any weight, age or gender.
The Gracie School teaches the art of the famous family, focussing on self-defence. It also offers a Combatives course, a Kids course, self-defence in extreme sitautions, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tailored for Mixed Martial Arts and classic BJJ technique training.

Celebrating Croft's dream season
WATERBURY — As Dick Yuskas did some spring cleaning at his home in Florida, he uncovered some long-lasting memories dating back to his high school days in Waterbury, and most specifically at Croft High.
Back in 1959, Croft enjoyed an unbeaten season in football, capturing the Waterbury championship and the Naugatuck Valley League crown. Now, nearly 53 years later, Yuskas discovered some keepsakes from that memorable 1959 season. He found a game ball and team pictures, among other items, and it gave him a bit of motivation to jog the memory of some of his former teammates.
Yuskas contacted city officials, school administrators and even the Mattatuck Museum about the team. His efforts paid off as the museum plans to display an exhibit of the undefeated season, featuring a bronzed shoe, game ball, trophy, team pictures and team program, beginning Nov. 24, and designed by archivist Christian Gonzales.
That's not going to be the only recognition the team receives.
Members of the 1959 Croft team and cheerleaders will be honored at halftime of the Kennedy-Watertown game Friday night at Municipal Stadium in pregame ceremonies.
"We should have done this a long time, but it's better late than never," said Yuskas.
On Friday, Kennedy principal Robert A. Johnston will introduce the 1959 team, and Yuskas will then explain the
See CROFT, Page 7B
history behind the ceremony. Kennedy will be presenting Yuskas and his group with a plaque commemorating the season, which will be displayed at Kennedy.
When the Waterbury public schools went from its long-standing system of specialization schooling to generalization, Yuskas and many of his classmates went from Crosby to Croft. It wasn't an easy transition from an academic and athletic standpoint.
On the gridiron, Croft went 1-5-1 in 1958, Yuskas' junior year.
"We weren't out of many games with the exception of one against Plainville," recalled Yuskas. "It was a learning experience. Charlie Donato was the head coach and he was a stern, even-tempered and even-mannered person. Angelo Laudisi was the assistant coach who ran the offense and listened to us."
In the offseason before the 1959 season, Yuskas and some of his teammates approached Laudisi about making adjustments to the offense, specifically going from the established single-wing formation to a more multidimensional set.
"Everyone was disappointed in our losses the year before and we were not going to repeat it," said Yuskas. "We tied Derby in our third game of the season and our attitude was that this shouldn't have happened and it won't happen again. And bingo, it didn't."

To prepare Bucknellians to solve global challenges, we must foster creative thinking that turns inspiration into innovation and imagination into action. We must capitalize on our special capacity to offer students an educational experience of invention, ingenuity and resourcefulness that separates them as leaders in the age ahead.
Here at Bucknell, artists regularly collaborate with engineers, humanists and scientists. But our goal is more ambitious than the co-education of artists and others.
With the right resources in the right places, we can capitalize on our diverse strengths and empower the creative capacity and confidence of all our students. We can make Bucknell a model creative campus, where every day, in every experience, students discover new dimensions of their originality, leadership and vision.
Endowed Fund for Interdisciplinary Creativity, Arts and Innovation
This interdisciplinary fund will fund new programs in individual disciplines, creative residency programs that foster collaboration, campus-wide arts and creative projects, visiting residencies by scholars, the fresh integration of technologies into creative projects across the curriculum, and interactive programming and summer workshops that make interdisciplinary partnerships a primary focus.

I am trying to show the following statement
Let $D\subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be an open and bounded subset. $\Pi=(P^x : x \in D )$ a Family of standard Brownian Motions started at $x \in D$. Then $\Pi$ ist a tight (or relativly compact due to Prorhorvs Theorem).
I need that result to proof the existence of a certain type of Process. Unfortunately I do not have any experience working with the concept of "tightness".

The other day I made a batch of sugar cookies intending to roll them out and cut into shapes. I used the standard Martha Stewart's recipe, but didn't have butter, so I used Smart Balance Lite Margarine. Needless to say the dough didn't get stiff enough to cut or roll, even though its been refrigerated for more than 24 hours. Is there anyway to either use this dough as is OR to add ingredients to the dough to make it more stiff?
I don't believe you will be satisfied with any cookies you roll out and cut from this dough. That said, there are three options that may allow the dough to find a tasty future.
Of course you will have to watch to get them done enough as the standard bake time probably won't apply.
If your recipe doesn't include eggs (or you are not concerned with the risk that raw eggs may pose) adding it to homemade ice cream would be a fourth option.
Good luck.
The natural answer would be to add a little more flour. You will probably need to leave the dough out of the fridge a while to soften so you can fold/mix in the flour until the mixture stiffens sufficiently.
The dough should still make edible cookies; the problem will be with spreading. So instead of cutting out shapes, just drop the dough by spoonfuls on a cookie sheet and bake it, possibly for less time than the recipe calls for. You can still decorate the cookies, or you can keep these for munching and make a new batch (with butter!) for cutting out and decorating.
The method I use for the "butter shortbread biscuits" could be useful in your case, too;
Well when i prepare my dough i just put everything in my Magimix 4200 mixer and let it mix for about 30 seconds and then put it in the fridge. But the dough you made should still be eligible to make crunchy cookies. Just sprinkes some smarties on top of it to make it look nice and chag it taste a lil bit
