Tis the Season for Education
Issue:January-February 2007
AH YES, WINTER IS HERE – the time of year we look forward to when we can take a bit of a break and start thinking about how we can improve things for the next growing season. This is a great time for developing your skills: technical, business and inter-personal. There are several trade shows related to landscape, arboriculture and gardening throughout Canada and the US: Landscape Ontario Congress in Toronto, CENTS in Ohio, ISAO's Annual February Conference and Canada Blooms in Toronto are all perfect opportunities for professional development and networking.
In addition, Landscape Ontario offers several very practical courses related to landscape and turf installation and management. Topics include arboriculture, business, design, equipment, grounds, installation/construction, IPM (oh, this one sounds interesting!), interior landscaping, irrigation, plants and much more. Some of the local chapters are even putting on their own special member-requested seminars. Professional development guides are available from Landscape Ontario. Just call 1-800-265-5656 and they'll pop one in the mail to you. If you subscribe to Landscape Trades or Horticulture Review, you probably have had one sent to you in the fall. I'll be leading the all-day workshop "IPM for Woody Ornamentals" on February 9 and 23.
Now what about those inter-personal skills? It's interesting to talk to my neighbours about their experiences with contractors. It seems like it is the woman of the household who is interacting with contractors more than the men these days. And these women talk to each other – they share their experiences. Although my neighbours are always looking for the cheapest bid, they do not want to compromise quality and they want to be treated with respect.
One neighbour recently hired a contractor to do a concrete walkway and ended up using one of the highest bidders. Why? "He was really nice" (I wish you could have seen the look on my face). He took the time to talk to her, his crew showed up on time (i.e. they didn't waste her precious time) and they gave her the impression that they cared about what they were doing. They showed respect to their customer… and they managed to get two more contracts on the same street.
So, how are your inter-personal skills? There are some great resources under the "business" and "self-help" section at your local bookstore. Amazon.ca has a cool little subject search feature that will provide you with lots of great titles. Scroll down the page and you will find reader reviews too (how else could I have picked those great little books for my three year-old?). If you're still a little unsure, try asking a colleague whom you respect and admire. It's surprising how many people have taken courses or read books on inter-personal, organizational and leadership skills. Now, the next step is to put these learned behaviours into action – that's the hard part. Sometimes it's safer to try them out on family members or friends first!
Lend Me Your Ideas…
After eight years as the Provincial Nursery Crops Specialist, I must confess that I am still in love with my job. I am challenged on a daily basis and I get to work with great people like you! But after eight years of writing countless articles for industry, it becomes more difficult to come up with good content. So, what would you like to read about? Is there a question you want answered, or a review of recent literature on a certain topic you'd appreciate. I'd love to hear from you.
Defruiting Ornamental Crabapples (Cultivar chart...)
Ornamental crabapples (Malus sp.) have long been planted in the landscape because of their incredible display of early spring flowers. Colours range from white to a rosy-red and are even more spectacular since the trees bloom before the foliage has fully emerged. Bloom periods can last from one to two weeks and fruit can be quite showy, but property owners later become soured over the multitude of fallen fruit that line their driveways, walkways and gardens. Rotting fruit can be slippery and smelly plus it attracts unwelcome guests such as flies and wasps. What can we do to reduce or eliminate unwanted fruit production on ornamental crabapples?
In the commercial orchard, hormone-type thinners (such as naphthaleneacetic acid) are used to discourage fruit formation, leaving behind a smaller number of higher quality fruit that are more uniform. This practice also encourages return bloom. To the best of my knowledge, these products have not been tested widely on ornamental crabapples and we don't know what rates would stimulate adequate fruit abscission without damaging the tree. Weather also plays a significant role in how these products perform. We already know from experience how variable cultivars can be in their response to some products and their environment.
Applications of the insecticide carbaryl can interfere with fruitlet growth and can cause premature fruit drop when applied at the correct time. Unfortunately, carbaryl will also kill most of the pollinators that would be buzzing around the apple blossoms. Carbaryl is very toxic to bees plus many other beneficial insects and mites. It's also toxic to people and its use is highly regulated in a lot of urban areas these days. All in all, the drawbacks outweigh the benefits for this particular use. A few other home remedies can be found on some websites. The thing is, these treatments are all aimed at burning off flowers to prevent fruit formation. This kind of defeats the purpose of having the tree in the first place, doesn't it?
Let's face it, planning and prevention can go a long way into making better choices for landscape specimens. Ornamental Malus have their place along streets with large boulevards and in larger landscapes where fallen fruit won't be a nuisance to the gardener but a treasure for wildlife. I'll never forget the time my old neighbour consulted me about the tree they wanted to plant beside the fence in their backyard. His wife wanted a crabapple but he wanted a maple and what did I think? Well let's just say he was a little overwhelmed by the hug that I gave him over the fence that separated our teeny-tiny backyards when in the end, he decided to go with a native maple. Not that a blooming ornamental crabapple doesn't make me go weak in the knees, I just think a top-grafted Malus standard is a better fit for the 33-and-a-third foot lot size that you'll find in many new housing developments.
Another option is to choose Malus cultivars that retain their fruit long into the autumn and winter. There are also cultivars that produce smaller, less conspicuous fruit. There is some very useful information on the internet. Check out "Crabapples for Western Washington Landscapes" and the International Ornamental Crabapple Society website for lists of cultivars with desirable traits to fit your clients' needs. When choosing a cultivar of Malus, you should also consider disease resistance. Some cultivars of Malus are very susceptible to apple scab, powdery mildew, Gymnosporangium rust and fireblight and should be avoided or replaced. The table above is a list of Malus cultivars that have either persistent fruit or very tiny fruit, while possessing some tolerance to apple scab. A much larger selection of disease-resistant cultivar is available. Take the time to consider putting the right Malus in the right place.

Looking for the perfect doctor in Qatar can be tough, they may not speak your language or even understand when you ask for a specific treatment, but Meddy is here to help you find the best doctor to match your needs. Here are 10 smart ways to use Meddy to locate your perfect doctor!
1. Click on the most popular specialties
Right below the drop-down button menu, there are illustration of the most popular specialties this month. These illustrations change on a monthly basis, usually, but can sometimes shift positions on a weekly basis as well. These illustrations show the most popular specialties, as well as the most popular doctors in that specific specialty. When you're looking for the best doctors, you need to know who's more popular now and the easiest way to find out is through Meddy. Clicking on the illustration would take you directly to the listings page where you can find your favorite doctor.
2. Use Filters
Now that you're on the listings page and can see all the doctors, it is time to focus on the what exactly you are looking for. Are you looking for a French speaking Dentist in Abu Hamour? Or are you looking for a strictly Arabic speaking Gynecologist specializing in fertility? The filters on the left side of the listings can help you find the exact doctor you are looking for, from language spoken, to gender, to country of education, and even clinic and area of residence, Meddy has doctors from all over Qatar, just a click away!
3. View Clinic Information
Many people know of specific clinics that they have gone to or heard of before. At Meddy, clinic information is essential. A few of the most popular clinics appear on the right side of the listings to help you find the best ones. If you click on the clinic information you will get a lot more information on it including all the specialties, doctors, location, and pictures from that specific clinic. This also includes links to articles about the clinics or doctors in the clinic as well. Clinic information is also available on the doctor profiles right below their qualifications.
4. Read the top 5 doctors' reviews
Now that you are considering visiting the doctors, you must choose which one is right for you. The top-rated doctors are obviously the highest ranked on their specialty listings page. If you want the best dermatologist or the best urologist, then the best would probably be among the top 5. There is no point wasting your time going through all the pages of the specialty to find the "best" doctor, when he/she is right in front of you when you look up the specialty. The higher the doctor is in ranking the more reviews he/she has, so why not open up the profile and read some of those reviews before making your decision?
5. Remove all filters and check out Qatar's top doctors
If you're not looking to find a specific doctor right now, then remove all the filters that you looked at and just see the top-rated doctors across the entire site. You would be surprised to see that some of your favorites are really up there and that some may be doing much better than others. This can give you an idea as to what doctor you would go to once you need to.

6. Check out the doctor's treatments
Understanding what the doctor does can help you make a better decision about which is more suitable for you. Not all doctors in a specific specialty offer the same treatments, some doctors may be better at specific treatments than others and treatment options may not be available in specific clinics. All this information is provided on the doctor profile under the headline treatment. Each doctor is a specialist in a field of his/her own. Reading through the list of treatments can help you choose the right doctor for you. The live chat on Meddy can also help you, all doctors offer a lot more information that might not be on their profile. Ensure you have all the information you need before booking your appointment.

If insurance is not an issue, then all doctors and clinics can help you by providing their pricing information prior to consultation with the doctor you chose. Meddy is here to help you with finding the best doctor for you and what you can afford as well!

Super cute cards,love them both...ReplyDelete
Both of your cards are adorable Michelle. The round sentiment tag and Sliekje's digi image are perfect. When I print digi images I also have trouble with some of my Stikles and also the Glossy Accents. I let them dry, sometimes for days, but will still get ink bleed. I was told it's the ink my printer takes. Thanks for playing!ReplyDelete
Awwwww, gorgeous creations (and Ireally love the pink!)ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for your visit and I'm delighted to see one of my freebie sentiments on your card. I love seeing them used on people's cards and makes me know that it's worthwhile me making them.

Today is Rwanda's much-hyped baby gorilla naming ceremony: kwita izina, literally "to call a name." In recognition of this day, here are a few notes about names in Rwanda.
- Rwandans typically have two names, a Kinyarwanda name which they write in all capitals followed by a Western name (usually French, sometimes English). Neither is a family name – unless the family has intentionally adopted this practice, one cannot tell family relations here by name. This presented obvious problems for family reunification in the wake of the genocide.
- Rwandan women, once they have had children, often go by their eldest child's name: Mama Jackson, Mama Teta, Mama Yvonne, etc. Easier for me when I meet my neighbors – it's a two-for-one!
- Examples of Rwandan names: Imanairere (Ee-mah-nah-ee-ray-ray) is female and means "God helps me to grow." Nishyimimana (Neesh-yeem-ee-mah-nah) is female and means "Glory/praise God." Mukahirwa (Moo-kah-heer-gwah, female) means "one who has success in life." Mugiraneza (Moo-jeer-ah-nay-zah, male) means "well done;" the French is Bienfait. Nzikobankunda (Nn-zee-koh-bahn-hoon-dah, male) means "I know that they love me." Wizeimana (Wee-zayee-mah-nah, female) means "one who has faith in God." Kamanutsi ("Kah-man-oot-see," male) and Nyirakmanutsi (female) mean "to become accidentally" or to be an accident – the man I know with this name was born seven years after his next older sibling!
- My adopted host family in Nyanza gave me a Kinyarwanda name: Agatesi (Ah-gah-tess-ee). The previx "aga-" is a diminutive, which is a sign of affection when accompanying a name. Agatesi means "one who is loved/spoiled by her parents" – an American connotation that's a little off-putting, but it's considered to be a very good name here (and I must admit, I am spoiled by my American parents).
When I introduce myself here, I use the Rwandan format and say I'm Agatesi Trude, or even just Agatesi – most Rwandans can't pronounce my real name. So I'm called Agatesi, sometimes shortened to Agate. If I meet a mother of an Agatesi or a woman named Mutesi (the non-diminutive and less aurally appealing form of my name) they say they are my mother or older sister. Every time someone calls me Agatesi and not muzungu, I feel a sense of victory and identity within the community. Three weeks after my arrival at site, nearly all the children on my street know me by Agatesi, as well as my neighbors, coworkers, market ladies, shopkeepers near my house, etc.
Although sometimes people who know my name call me muzungu – and I start to say "Sinitwa mu—" (my name is not mu—") when they jump in and say "Witwa Agatesi." We'll get there, buhoro buhoro (slowly by slowly).

Hello. I have been looking through the forums and I have barely seen any communication. I see it's been 2 weeks since the servers went down. I think I like other people would like an update on whats happening. I know you have a lot of data to go through. But a little information would be nice.
-How much data has been processed?-Is there enough data to process what you need.(bugs, glitches etc)-Is there a notice or a time frame on when the servers will go back up.-Will there be more BETA keys given out.
I have personally not played the game but have played many moba's. I would like to participate and if that is not possible I would like to be notified of when open BETA will come about.
I can tell by your first sentence that you must be new here
No ETA as of yet though.
When will the servers be back?
When they are ready to tell us something about Supernova coming back online they will.
Jumping through timelines and alternate dimensions is hard work and sometimes we get out time frames mixed up. We hope to release news about possible upcoming tests soon.
~Tenno, Agent of the Council of Time Lords.
by the time they are ready, not a single person will want to play, because they will have forgotten about the game. Tha lack of info is forcing people to leave the forum and the game as a whole......
I think the blame can be solely placed on Tenno. I heard he was specifically hired to get the servers up and running, but spends all of his time trying to create new memes. I would have seen this coming, but unfortunately Bandai did not.
I appreciate your feedback @Dormicum.
We understand that news from the Development team might not have been as forth coming as players might have liked. The development process is a dynamic environment and things changes constantly. We are planning a lot of content releases to be put out very soon for CBT as wells as for OBT. So stay tuned and see what Supernova has to offer!
@Starace I'M SO SORRY!!! i'm trying my best, but there are so many cute cats and puppies that need memes!
Yup , already lost my interest in this game .
I'm sorry to hear that. We will be around for a while so when you feel ready to, we will be here for you to play.
I think this game gonna die really soon, sadly. The queues gonna be even longer they were and that's because servers were down more than they were up, even likes on facebook drops, some people already forgot about Supernova and here I thought there will be new competitor to HoTs (no chance to compete with LoL and Dota2).
Yeah it's kinda crazy. I had huge interest in this game. It took 22 days for a reply to my message from an admin lol. I play league and have found smite. I dont think I have time for this game now.
I don't think we can really judge the success of the game until it has had its severs open 24/7 for a few months at least. You also can't hope to compete with a Blizzard backed title without a lot of advertising, which they have not done yet.
The future of WLTDO will be a lot more apparent the more time the game spends in open beta.
I do not understand who you interpret "compete", from my point of view every actor on the market offering products for a certain group of customers is competing, since the customers have limited resources (time, money) that are needed to consume those products. Since LoL, Dota II, HotS, maybe also Smite and in further development states also Supernova can be all counted towards the MOBA genre, they are competing for customers.Since Supernova is no AAA-title like HotS that enjoyed massive marketing and great public interest just because of the fact it is a game developed by Blizzard Entertainment, it probably will not have such an impact like HotS and also will not have as much players as HotS, LoL or Dota II have, but the game will compete with other MOBAs. If not, Bandai Namco would have done or will be doing something completely wrong.They are the publishers and they will, maybe during the open beta or at least at the official release, do what have to be done (marketing) to build up a player base Bandai Namco and Primal Game Studio can subsist on.
Sorry for grammar mistakes, I am not used to explain economy in English.
I like the way Hi-Rez is doing their Closd Betas. I don't know if it's possible the same way here, but as they made the Paladins closed beta they keep up the servers while patching and fixing things. E.g.: When Closed Beta 12 ended, 1 day later was Closed Beta 13. They didn't take down the servers and the bugs still existed but as soon as the new Closed Beta Patch got announced they patched/fixed it.
Hi-Rez already have a big Moba experience, but anyway paladins will be swallowed with smite's universe, because they actually wanna go too fast.
True that. But maybe it would be possible to maintain servers while fixing and adding things here, too. That was my thought. Because, at least on my side, I don't really have enough experience from the 2 Closed Beta's yet and the longer the servers are offline, the more interest I lose. I love the concept of the game a lot but it's just a pain not being able to play it.
The day I downloaded this game was with this problem
We are working on getting the servers back up and running soon. We do plan to have the servers up on a regular if not 24/7 schedule when OBT comes around so players can play all day everyday!!!
THANK YOU TENNO. <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3 (had to fill 20 characters)

All my life I have carried this crazy image of my poor mother whimpering, while hugging granite wall during a climb up the railed, stair stepped path to the summit of a great mountain. I don't know exactly how old I am in this scene, but I venture to say I was about ten years of age when this memory was firmly implanted into my brain. I later learned that the "mountain" in my memory is called Moro Rock; at an elevation of 6,725 feet the rock sits in Sequoia National Park located to the east of California's Central Valley near Visalia off Highway 198. In recent years I have become known for dangling my feet over the edge of high altitude rocks, waterfalls, cliffs and railings. So naturally, I've wanted to see, nay, conquer this rock on my mother's behalf.
So off I went on my weekend adventure, driving to meet one of my favorite cousins at the Holiday Inn where I would leave my car and hop into her vehicle for a day of hiking. Its amazing what we can find in our own backyard if we just slow down enough to look. I prayed aloud, "Oh, please let me see a bear today."
After a quick stop at the visitor's center for maps, ideas and directions we headed to first see the Giant Forest. The Rock mocked me as I got my first glimpse of it in 40 plus years!
We made it to the Congress Trail that starts at the magnificent General Sherman tree (the biggest tree in the world!) and proceeds on in a 2 mile loop winding near the giants known as the General Lee, the McKinley, and the President trees as well as the groupings known as the House and the Senate. The size of these giants is incredible and so hard to describe! They don't even fit in a picture!
After spending a few hours exploring, we decided to head over to Moro Rock for the face off. We hopped on the shuttle which conveniently saved our feet from having to march another two miles. Incredibly, we were dropped off at the base of the 350 step stairway to the top of the Rock.
Up we went…breathing like we were running a marathon and snapping pictures all the way. I turned a corner to realize the very ledge I saw in my dreams. It was exactly where my mom froze and my young hopes of summiting the Rock froze right along with her. I recall my father peeling my mom's hands off the granite and gently guiding us down the steps until she could feel safe on the flat ground. I felt cheated at not being able to get to the top.
I yelled to my cousin, "Quick, take my picture! This is how I remember my mom doing it." We blocked traffic as we laughed and exchanged barbs about being Mexican and laughing too loudly. We feigned worry that Mr. Trump would ask us to leave the Rock and the Country as punishment.
Onward and upward we went. Facing the west, we stopped for air, and to take in the view of Generals Highway, Hanging Rock and of course the valley.
To the east we could see the Eastern Sierras of the Great Western Divide. This short trek did not disappoint.
All of a sudden, there we were, at the top. I scrambled to get my victory photo and whispered to myself into the wind, "This is for you mom."
Eventually we returned to the trailhead and eventually said goodbye to Sentinel Tree located near the Museum building, bought some souvenirs and headed back to the valley.
As cousins are apt to do, we chatted in an animated fashion as we descended the curvy road, periodically reading signs warning us to save our brakes. As we rounded a bend, I saw a shadow in the shrubs adjacent the road.
"Look, LOOK!," I gasped, "that looks like a bear!"
"No!" she gasped.
I said, "Hurry, turn around!"
She drove to the nearest turnout, made a u-turn and headed back up the hill. Sure enough, my wish had come true. There before us, was a hungry black bear absentmindedly eating berries while I happily clicked away with my camera.
We made it to the valley floor, grabbed a bite to eat at a small little bakery / grocery store /restaurant in Farmersville. We ate until we couldn't "breaf"and then my cousin dropped me off at the Visalia Holiday Inn. I looked forward to peace, quiet and alone time. My long day of adventure had finally caught up with me. I hugged some trees, conquered a Rock, shot a bear and now, sweet rest was my reward.
It wasn't until about a week later, when I finally decided to put my duffle bag away, did I notice a small box. I opened it to find a replica of the Geographic Names System marker for Moro Rock. My cousin must have snuck it into my bag when I wasn't looking. It brought tears to my eyes. She knows I have one for Half Dome and Mt. Whitney both places I forced myself to gird my loins to conquer. I treated myself to those souvenirs as earned badges of courage.
This was different though. The Moro Rock marker, to me, represents our little trek as family, on behalf of family. This marker represents the efforts and successes of generations past, present and future. I can't have expected any different from her. She always encourages me, no matter the challenge.
I couldn't love her more.
Thanks for being my friends!

Open Source, Viral Adoption, and "A Bag Of Junk"
I've been out there on the Coupa beat talking Open Source and Procurement since our July 27th launch of the Preview Release. It's been both fun and entertaining.
Several interesting viewpoints (myths?) have come up as blockers to open source adoption that I thought I'd share.
1) Open source won't ever work for Enterprise Applications, it only works for infrastructure layers.
Please see my prior post on "First We Made Games.." – I find it fascinating how folks can continually resist extrapolation even when a large data set of precedents exists. Games but not operating systems. Operating systems but not web servers. Web servers but not databases. Databases but not Apps. Hmm. I've heard that before.
2) Open source infrastructure (operating system, database, web server) is a "a bag of junk" being hoisted on unsuspecting customers against their will, where support costs are astronomical and frustration high.
This one actually made me laugh a little. Obviously the gentleman who made the comment has never looked at Microsoft Windows code (or Oracle Database code for that matter). I think Linus Torvalds once said "all bugs are superficial with enough eyes looking at them" – hence the customer experience I hear is that open source products tend to be more robust and customers more confident in their reliability. Now that's certainly not always. But the stuff that stays and grows faces a crucible of critical attention that closed source products just never see.
3) For open source to work well there has to be viral adoption – i.e. people need to begin using the system "under the radar" and possibly without their management's consent.
Now, there's not enough data to debunk this assertion entirely. The story goes "it works well in CRM because sales teams do whatever they want and then momentum builds and so the head of the business says "ok it's sugar". But even Compiere's numbers tend to suggest a wider appetite for open source solutions in the enterprise.
Amid these 3 "blockers" from a loud minority I've heard a TON of praise for the movement. Many Procurement & IT folks I've heard from are looking to open source to finally bring innovation to a stagnate enterprise applications market. The optimism is exhilirating.
You see, open source success may not always be viral, but it sure is infectious. :)

Dave, one argument you missed: with open source, there's a chance that one can fix a problem on one's own — at least theoretically. With closed source, there's no theoretical solution — the vendor has to fix the problem. That's OK if the vendor has a track record of responding promptly with workarounds and fixes. But it's not OK if the vendor (your alma mater, Oracle, was a big offender in the old days) is slow to respond.
However, one doesn't have to be "open source" in order to provide relief in this area. For example, BIQ cheerfully escrows source code for our customers — so if we all get hit by a truck, or something, it's not the end of the road. We also structure our deals without up front payments (i.e., cancel the deal any time you want), which (unlike Oracle) puts us squarely on the hook for a prompt fix or workaround. With regard to open source, though, we do some very innovative things with our product that we're not willing to hand to our competitors for free! So much as I like open source, we'll be holding back for now.
The weakest argument for Coupa open-source-wise is viral adoption. If nobody's looking at the source code except Coupa (due to lack of interest), then you don't pick up the "many eyes" benefit. I think that's a valid criticism. Nevertheless, all it takes is a small number of people joining hands with you, and you'll see immediate benefit!
I would like to comment on that part that mentions using technology "under the radar and without management's consent." In this day and age of computer security policies and computer security threats, how likely is it that someone would attempt to do that? If an amployee did use unauthorized hardware or software, I would think the penalty would probably be dismissal. Furthermore, which empployee would want to be responsible for doing something that could potentially damage the entire company's computer network?
I'm not saying that this means using open source technology would lead to any of those things, but just the fact that using it without permission from IT is an issue regardless of whether the technology turns out to be damaging.
As much as I would like to believe in "First we made games …", I some how feel that there is a big difference.
See the humble history of Linux,
"Hello everybody out there using minix –
I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and
professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones." …
And the rest, you know, is http://www.linux10.org/history/
Let's take Apache
"In February of 1995, the most popular server software on the Web was the public domain HTTP daemon developed by Rob McCool at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. However, development of that httpd had stalled after Rob left NCSA in mid-1994, and many webmasters had developed their own extensions and bug fixes that were in need of a common distribution."
and more at http://httpd.apache.org/ABOUT_APACHE.html
Here, the users of the applications are actually also the developers, the web masters (ofcourse, not all web masters need to be developers). Imagine the guy cutting POs on one computer writing code to fix the routing logic of the PO in the other!
Come to this new era, unlike the humble starting of the great software from college kids and univesity scientists, these softwares are being started from the beginning by people with titles and enterprise settings, to name one, http://www.coupa.com/aboutus.html
It's one thing for another college kid or a web master to develop interest and in the process perhaps even contribute using their knowledge for the open source community and it's entirely different for individuals to develop open source for enterprise applications.
>You see, open source success may not always be viral, but it sure is infectious. :)
You see, open source is meant for the geeks, not the bean counters. Perhaps, that's where the infection is!

ORLANDO, Fla.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Sean Glickman, CCIM, senior advisor for institutional investments at Coldwell Banker Commercial NRT and founder of the Glickman Retail Group brokered the sale of Colonial Town Center at 99% of asking price to an international buyer. This excellent acquisition was accomplished after a very challenging process. Obtaining financing was extremely difficult due to the short term on HHGregg's lease, the parent company's recent earning report, E Commerce environment and a low loan to value offered by most lenders to foreign national buyers. Glickman helped facilitate the loan as well as manage the entire transaction. The property that is shadow anchored by Wal-Mart neighborhood Market and Sam's Club was 90% occupied at the time of the sale with tenants such as HH Gregg, Mattress One and more.
Glickman, who sold the property 4 years earlier with 60% occupancy, exclusively represented the seller who is one of the top retail investment firms in Florida. The seller hired Glickman thanks to his positive experience while acquiring the property. The buyer is an international investment firm that purchased the center as their first acquisition in Central Florida and is under contract through Glickman to acquire additional and larger anchored centers.
Sean Glickman, CCIM is a senior advisor of institutional investments at CBC, founder of the Glickman Retail Group who specializes in the shopping center industry in Central Florida and the Tampa Bay area. His primary focus is helping retail property owners maximize value and return on investment. Sean is a graduate of the shopping center university at Wharton School, the University of Pennsylvania and he has an extensive international investment and development background.
Coldwell Banker Commercial NRT is one of the leading commercial brokerages in Florida with 64 offices involved in commercial transactions. The company comprises almost 200 companies and more than 3,000 professionals throughout the U.S. and internationally.

One of our fellow members noticed that there was another fansub group doing SM2. I've read their message, and they weren't very pleased that another group was trying to sub it, so I have decided to drop SM2. But we will release episode 2, cause I've started the translation and don't want to make my efforts useless. I will ask our staff members if they want to start a new series, or disband, because 99% of the staff joined so they can help out Saiunkoku, and not some other series. Also, I am currently busy with my homework and stuff, and will be even more busier when I enter High School. Please understand our current situation. Thanks.
Don't worry about Saiunkoku, because Sweet Secret Subs has TONS of staff, and so I am expecting a good work from them.

Hails From: Moscow, Russia (Zima) / Milan, Italy (Veleno)
Alignment: Heel
Style: Cheater (Zima) / High Flyer (Veleno)
Tag Team Finisher:
– Dirt Nap (Total Elimination)
Signature Move:
– Lunar Eclipse (Flying Leg Drop [Zima] / Top Rope Frog Splash [Veleno])
Both members of the FTF original eight, Karina Zima and Marie Veleno did not start out as friends. In fact, the first time they faced off Zima defeated Veleno via nefarious methods. Following that, Zima offered Veleno a partnership and thus Pretty/Dirty was born.
Their first target was Ezra LaForge. For weeks they harassed and bullied the Total Pro. The zenith came after Pretty/Dirty defeated LaForge in a handicap match and then proceeded to assault her manager Ken Laurier.
Pretty/Dirty then faced LaForge and her new partner Constance Ripley at Death or Glory in a losing effort. Following that they advanced in the first round of the Duality Tag Team Tournament, defeating Al Derringer and FTF Champion John Ire which was a huge victory for the young team. The two have their sights set on becoming the first FTF Tag Team Champions by any means necessary.
Title History:

I spent this week devouring Call the Midwife. I started with the series, then read the books to get the bigger picture. At first, the compassion of the nuns stood out the most, and then deeper themes began to appear. In the end, I concluded that Call the Midwife is deeply symbolic of rebirth and the options of a Christian life: those devoted to lifelong chastity, those who are temporarily single, and those who are married.
Characters in the series represent these three lifestyle choices quite well, and two of them transition from one life into another. Each gives something to think about and all come back to the underlining theme, which is agape (unconditional) love. We see many examples of this love in the nuns and nurses as they learn to put aside their moral judgments and simply "serve." In the books, Jenny frequently marvels at Sister Julienne's ability to love and serve everyone she comes into contact with. Agape love isn't easy to do, because our natural instinct isn't to love one another; it is to love ourselves. Jesus commanded us to love one another "as we love ourselves," because He knew we are more than capable of self-love; it's self-denial that is hard.
I'm going to define agape love as Dr. Peck does in The Road Less Traveled: "the will to extend oneself for the purpose of nurturing one's own and another's spiritual growth." It is the opposite of selfishness, since this kind of love desires the other person to reach a point where the person who "loves" them is no longer "needed," thus to serve without the desire to benefit other than feeling the joy of seeing another person reach a point of total wellness. This is the love the nuns have for the district and the people in their care.
The Apostle Paul encouraged singleness because it enables us to do things for God's kingdom that would be far more difficult for married couples with family responsibilities. A single person can have, as their primary focus, a lifelong calling to service. Their family is whomever they can help, whenever they need help, wherever they might be. A single person is responsible to and for no one other than themselves; therefore, they can be up at any hour, go anywhere, and do anything God requires. This is the life lived out by the nuns of Nonnatus House, and their vows support this greater calling: chastity (for emotional and physical purity), poverty (so that they can drop everything at a moment's notice to serve, and have no worldly distractions), and service (to one another, and to their community on the whole).
Lifelong chastity is a calling that few people have, but for those that do, it has immense potential for spiritual growth. It must be a decision, however, based in spirituality rather than selfishness. Agape-love for others doesn't begin with the desire to remain single so that one has total control over one's independence; willing singleness is surrendering one's independence to God. He will ask much more of you than a spouse ever will, but with that surrender and service comes a particular anointing and spiritual fulfillment.
Book Jenny is in awe of Sister Julienne, who possesses a special something that she does not understand. Jenny is so unfamiliar with spiritual things on her arrival that she doesn't correctly identify this gift until much later as spiritual presence. Sister Julienne loves, obeys, and serves God so wholeheartedly that His love radiates out of her, putting others at ease and allowing her to love them unconditionally. He gives her genuine agape love. Julienne lives a far different life from Jenny, but is spiritually fulfilled in a way Jenny isn't; everyone she meets is her family, and when she is no longer needed, she searches for ways to serve other people.
Temporary singleness is shown in the lives of the nurses at Nonnatus House; in them, we see the benefits of singleness and throwing yourself into the immediate service of God, but with a willingness to make the transition into marriage when called. Temporary singleness is a time that many Christians find hard to bear; many long for marriage and are frustrated when it isn't forthcoming. But the same benefits of lifelong chastity apply to temporary singleness: it is a time to devote yourself to the service of God and to learning how to agape-love.
Sister Bernadette encompasses this transition beautifully; God called her to serve as a nun, and then called her to marriage. She is an ideal we can strive toward, if our desire is both to serve God and to marry, because during her earlier years as a nun, Bernadette was happy. She served in her capacity as a midwife, she devoted herself to prayer and love, and she was content in being single. That changed when she met Dr. Turner, and her heart shifted from a love directed toward each person she encountered to a more focused love for her future husband and his son. Temporary singleness shouldn't be a time of sexual frustration and impatience; it is a time when we have the independence to turn that independence over to God, and at the right time, He will grant us a new purpose through marriage and new responsibilities.
Lastly, there is the calling to marriage—not merely for sexual and emotional fulfillment, but that the couple can serve God together. No two people are ever the same, so no two marriages ever have the same purpose. Two are stronger than one. Their independence is more limited, because they are responsible to each other in addition to God, but God unites them in every way possible to handle the trials of life and accomplish things that single people can't. The calling to marriage and bearing children is important; it further limits the independence of the couple, but also is spiritually fulfilling in a paternal sense. Only through having children can we truly understand how much God loved His Son, and in doing so, grasp the enormous sacrifice of Christ on the Cross, as well as God's willingness to let Him take our place.
Bernadette's decision to leave behind the habit for a wedding ring transitions her from one life to another and is symbolic of rebirth. She goes through a period of intense anguish as she reconsiders her calling; she is separated from her former, comfortable life, emerges uncertain into a new world, and eventually finds her place in it. Rebirth is the theme of the book through Jenny's eventual acceptance of faith, and the series' emphasis on childbirth and Bernadette's emotional and spiritual journey; and also the theme of Christianity itself: all must be spiritually reborn to be made whole in Christ.

The data showed an average reduction of ambulatory systolic blood pressure of 20 mm Hg from baseline in the first 40 patients (of an anticipated 50) to reach the 6-month endpoint in studies conducted in the United States and the European Union.
According to the company, these interim results of the CALM-FIM (Controlling and Lowering Blood Pressure with MobiusHD First-in-Man) trial, provided results from the first cohort of 40 patients evaluated in the United States (CALM-FIM US) and Europe (CALM-FIM EUR). The data demonstrated that at the 6-month evaluation point, 88% of the 40-patient cohort had a > 10-mm Hg drop in office systolic blood pressure or ≥ 5-mm Hg drop in 24-hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure. Many of these patients also experienced a reduction in their use of antihypertensive medication.
Study investigator Wilko Spiering, MD, who is President of the Dutch Hypertension Society presented the CALM-FIM data at ESC 2017. In the company's announcement, Dr. Spiering commented, "These interim data show significant promise in treating patients with resistant hypertension, that is, those who remain uncontrolled even after as many as three or more antihypertensive drugs. Our positive experience with the MobiusHD device demonstrates the need for continued investigation in a sham-controlled setting, which is currently running in the Netherlands and is starting up in the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany shortly."
Vascular Dynamics stated that the ESC presentation of these interim results will be followed by the publication of the final results of the CALM-FIM EU study in The Lancet on September 1, 2017.
The minimally invasive MobiusHD system is designed to amplify the signals received by the surrounding arterial baroreceptors and thereby increase the body's natural response to lower blood pressure through vasodilation.
The MobiusHD system has received CE Mark approval for the treatment of hypertension in the European Union. In the United States, the MobiusHD device is limited by law to investigational use only and is not commercially available, advised Vascular Dynamics.

What It Takes To Be Special
A child is a butterfly in the wind,
Some can fly higher than others,
But each one flies the best that it can,
Why compare one against the other?
Each one is different,
Each one is special,
Each one is beautiful.
Author Unknown
I want to take this opportunity to let you all in on a little secret. We have an Olympian and a World Class athlete in our family! In fact, she is the niece of my sister and brother-in-law, Mark and Emma-Leigh. She will be a proud representative of the United States in the 2013 Special Olympics World Games being held in Pyeong Chang, South Korea, from Jan. 29 to Feb. 5. She will be competing in Alpine Skiing and will be a part of a group of 3,000 athletes from 112 countries! Learning to ski at age 5, she is proficient in slalom and giant slalom. Should she place in the top 3, those medals will join ones she has won for participating in the sport of track and field. She is also a shining example of what dedication, perseverance and a zest for living can bless us with when we seek to become the very best we can be! Now this particular athlete owes much of what has made her so very special to two loving and dedicated parents. From the moment of her birth, they decided that there would be nothing that was beyond her reach and I am certain there were times when some things needed to be sacrificed so that this young woman could receive what she would need to not just attain but to exceed her potential. Who, you ask, is this athlete? Her name is Maureen Larsen, and if you google that name, you will find multiple articles that speak of her talent and accomplishments. You can read a mini biography by clicking on the following link: (http://www.sonj.org/iGMS/Home.php?CompetitionId=56&What2Do=Athlete&Id=Larsen%2C+Maureen) but a brief recap of her successes in track and field include:
4×400 Meter Relay: 1st Place
800 Meter Run: 2nd Place
4×100 Meter Relay: 1st Place
1500 Meter Run: 3rd Place
Maureen is 24 years old and attended a mainstream public Elementary and High Schools in New Jersey at her parents urging and lettered in track while attending Ocean City High School. Yes, she did receive some additional services, much like my daughter did when she needed speech therapy in Elementary School to correct her lisp. However, while Maureen is, indeed, very special, she was never treated as a special needs child. And because of this she has grown to become a special young woman not a special needs young woman. Maureen has Down's Syndrome and while most of you know what this genetic condition looks like since the physical characteristics of Down's is readily identifiable, what you may not know is that while Maureen, and other people born with an extra copy of Chromosome 21 (which is what causes this genetic condition) have Down's Syndrome, Down's Syndrome does NOT define who these people are nor does it define what they can accomplish in the world. That is something that Maureen's parents (and her extended family) knew the moment she was born and it is what they live by as they watch this special young woman grow. Yes, some things may be harder and yes, Maureen may have to learn to do some things in a little different way. But she will always be the very best she can be because that is how she was raised. And I can not think of any greater gift that we can give another, especially a child, than that!
by Edna Massimilla
(herself the mother of a child with Down's Syndrome)
A meeting was held quite far from Earth
It was time again for another birth.
Said the Angels to the Lord above —
"This special child will need much love.
"Her progress may be very slow
"Accomplishment she may not show.
"And she'll require extra care
"From the folks she meets down there.
"She may not run or laugh or play
"Her thoughts may seem quite far away
"So many times she will be labeled
"'different,' 'helpless' and disabled.
"So, let's be careful where she's sent.
"We want her life to be content.
"Please, Lord, find the parents who
"Will do a special job for you.
"They will not realize right away
"The leading role they are asked to play.
"But with this child sent from above
"Comes stronger faith, and richer love.
"And soon they'll know the privilege given
"In caring for their gift from heaven.
"Their precious charge, so meek and mild
"Is heaven's very special child."
Then the Lord said to him, "Who has made man's mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?
Exodus 4:11 ESV

Climate Change
The views of the author are his/her own and do not necessarily represent the position of The Weather Company or its parent, IBM.
One of the researchers today -- and since the conference is "off the record" I am going to withhold names -- presented fairly compelling evidence that a La Nina is particularly bad for the Gulf Coast and Mexico. The scientist broke down storms in the Atlantic basin into three groups:Cluster A: Storms that form out in the Atlantic and typically curve into the Eastern U.S. or back out into the ocean.Cluster B: Storms that form between the Canary Islands and Florida, and generally strike Florida or the Gulf Coast.Cluster C: Storms that form in the Caribbean Sea or the Gulf of Mexico, and impact the Gulf Coast from Mexico to Florida.Based on the talk, during La Nina years, two bad things tend to happen for Texas. First of all, according to graphics shown at the conference, the paths of Cluster C storms shift westward, so instead of hitting Florida or even curving back into the Atlantic, they hit Mexico or southern Texas. The Bay of Campeche is incredibly active.Secondly, the activity in Cluster C blows up during La Nina years.By way of comparison, for "Cluster A" storms in recent decades, 52 storms formed during El Nino years and 39 during La Nina years. For "Cluster C" storms -- which are much more likely to strike Texas -- the opposite is true. Just 36 storms formed during El Nino years, versus 56 during La Nina.One final thing: historical trends suggest not only an increased number of storms during La Nina, but that the storms which form tend to be stronger.

Gen. Wesley K. Clark became NATO's Supreme Allied Commander in Europe in 1997, well after the alliance had begun the biggest military operation of its 50-year history, but it was not the war with invading Soviet forces that NATO had been created to deter or fight. Instead it was a peacekeeping mission in Bosnia.
He is a West Point graduate, and a Rhodes scholar from Arkansas like his Commander in Chief, President Clinton. And General Clark, 54, could soon be presiding over another NATO peacekeeping mission in the Balkans, this time in Kosovo.
Today he flew to a French air base near Rambouillet, where negotiations on a settlement between Kosovo's ethnic Albanians and the Government are nearing a climax, to explain to both sides what the peacekeepers would do.
A few weeks ago he was called on to explain something else to President Slobodan Milosevic of Yugoslavia. In Belgrade, he told Mr. Milosevic what NATO could do to his military installations, using the more than 400 aircraft it has ready to strike, if he refused to accept an accord, including provisions for the NATO peacekeepers.
And today he explained to the Kosovo Albanian delegation in Rambouillet that if they agreed to settle for autonomy instead of the independence for which the rebels have been fighting, 28,000 peacekeepers would try to make sure they got the chance to make it work without fear of Serbian attack.Continue reading the main story
General Clark knows something about military-civilian standoffs, going back to the days of his youth in Little Rock, when the Eisenhower Administration sent in the National Guard to enforce desegregation. He honed his persuasive powers at Oxford University, where he studied politics, economics and philosophy, and at the National War College.
He is married to the former Gertrude Kingston of Brooklyn. They have one son, Wesley.
General Clark has the broad shoulders of the swimmer that he is, and stands out in a crowd because of his intense energy, expressed in a deep voice of command with only a trace of an Arkansas accent.
As Richard C. Holbrooke, the American diplomat who worked with General Clark to produce the accord on Bosnia in 1995, wrote in his book ''To End a War'' (Random House, 1998), ''Clark's boyish demeanor and charm masked, but only slightly, his extraordinary intensity.''
General Clark wrote the part of the Bosnia agreement that provided for the peacekeepers. It gives the commander ''authority, without interference or permission of any party, to do all that the commander judges necessary and proper, including the use of military force.''
Mr. Holbrooke later criticized American military leaders in Bosnia for not using that authority to protect civilians and to arrest people indicted for war crimes in The Hague.
Whether by coincidence or not, NATO arrested the first such suspect just as General Clark became Supreme Allied Commander in 1997. But the biggest names on The Hague's most wanted list, the Bosnian Serbs Radovan Karadzic and Gen. Ratko Mladic, are still at large.
General Clark warns that time is running out in Bosnia. He is using his authority to try to help as many displaced Bosnian refugees as possible get back to the homes they were forced to flee when ethnic tensions flared into open fighting in 1992.
As for carrying out the peace accord's provisions on refugees, he has shown impatience with the slow progress of the Muslim, Serbian and Croatian communities in Bosnia.
According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Geneva, only 550,000 of the two million refugees went back in the first three years of peace in Bosnia. Of the million who would find themselves outnumbered by members of other ethnic groups if they returned, the agency reported, only 60,000 have gone back home so far.
Flying into the divided Bosnian city of Mostar recently, General Clark urged military and civilian leaders in the region to work as fast as possible to make sure that as many of the expected 50,000 refugees returning to the area as possible were able to reoccupy their homes this year. ''People whose lives have been disrupted for seven years deserve to finally get to go home,'' he said. ''Our goal is that after this year, it will no longer be possible for those who support ethnically separate communities to believe that they can succeed.''
From his headquarters near Mons, Belgium, General Clark commands NATO. And as chief of the United States European Command, he also supervises all 100,000 American troops on the Continent. His headquarters for that operation is near Stuttgart, Germany.
In that job, he tells visiting American civilians, he is already in charge of some American combat missions -- the hazardous flights over north Iraq from bases in Turkey.Continue reading the main story

When we moved to our present home we repotted it, finally, fertilised it regularly & sat it near our floor-to-ceiling sliding glass door. It gets plenty of light but very little direct sun, which these plants don't really like. The plant has thrived & has thrilled us with multiple flowers each year. We cannot believe just how much it has grown & how healthy it looks, especially as it would be close to 25 years old. The poor thing could do with a repot but we would have nowhere to put it!!
Taken about 10 months after we had repotted it.

The internet went bonkers last week when 20th Century Fox announced that a Deadpool movie was coming out in February 2016. The internet went bonkers again when various reports claimed Deadpool would be a PG-13 movie.
Per haps I'm in the minority here, but I don't see the big deal.
The Pg-13 of today is not the same PG-13 we grew up with. When I was younger, PG-13 action movie was a death sentence for that movie.To me it meant a movie couldn't reach its full potential because they were saddled with a poor rating. But let's face it, that's not the case anymore.
These days with a PG-13 rating you can get away with a ton more violence than ever before. The comic book movie boom owes a lot to PG-13, even the Lord of the Rings films benefited from the rating.
Look around, most successful action flicks are not rated R anymore. The days of hardcore action flicks from Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Sylvester Stallone are long gone.
The only thing you can't do in PG-13 movies is use curse words. Well, there's a solution to that. A. You could spend 20 minutes with TNU's Laneit and you'll hear more cursing than in "The Wolf of Wall Street." Or B. Use the inability to curse to your advantage.
Make it some weird mutant power that blocks Deadpool from swearing. Or bleep him out, then have Deadpool break the fourth wall wondering what that bloody bleeping noise is.
A rating is just a rating, but there are ways to work around it. You gotta look on the bright side kids: Regardless of the rating, We're finally getting a Deadpool movie.
