Are cars good or bad? If you say good, what of the more than 35,000 annual domestic deaths due to motor vehicle crashes? If in consideration of these losses, hundreds of thousands of injuries, and their polluting exhaust you conclude that cars are indeed bad and therefore their use should be further limited, you may be discounting the higher lifestyle and freedoms that the automobile affords millions.
Many believe guns are bad. It's a reasonable position, as their effects upon the human body are horrific. It's especially easy to vilify guns in the wake of senseless mass shootings as recently happened at Umpqua Community College in Oregon. We can all imagine ourselves or our loved ones innocently attending classes or going out for an enjoyable night at the movies and suddenly subject to an unthinkable attack. It is reasonable to take action to prevent that from happening.
Homicide by firearms number around 11,000 annually (and falling – the murder rate is down 50% from its historic highs in the early 1990's, but it is spiking as much as 73% this year in some cities.) Suicide gun deaths are double that. A few thousand fewer people die each year by the bullet as do in motor vehicle accidents. Our reactions to these unpalatable incidents are very different, though.
Perhaps it's because traffic deaths are overwhelmingly accidents. Only about 500 or so gun deaths are accidental. The others are all intentional. As mentioned, two thirds of these deaths are suicides. Of the homicides, historically around 75% are committed by people with a criminal history. Crimes of passion and first-offender murderous gun-wielding madmen are relatively rare.
But this doesn't stop left-leaning politicians from calling for more gun control each and every time a lunatic strikes. Their argument is that it is innately wrong that guns should be so common and easy to obtain. I suppose they also believe that it follows that if we enforced even more gun restrictions than are currently on the books, there would be a reduction in these events. Though this may be sensible on the surface, fewer guns = less opportunity = fewer murders, the evidence does not support the claim.
We won't be able to fully prosecute the gun control argument here. I do wonder why these same politicians never point out that every mass shooting (defined as more than four deaths aside from the perpetrator and numbering over the past century at around 170 or so) with two exceptions since 1950 occurred in places where it was illegal for citizens to carry guns. Gun free zones in fact act as advertisements where perpetrators can be relatively assured that there won't be people there to prematurely thwart their efforts. Advocates for more gun control also don't discuss the profiles of mass shooters – almost always young, white, and male with a 60% likelihood of having been previously diagnosed with mental disorder. Some suspect that the behavior of some recent mass murderers may be linked to harmful side effects of powerful psychotropic drugs used to treat their behaviors.
Pundits and politicians also seem reluctant to discuss deeper social realities that may relate to these tragic incidents – the breakdown of the nuclear family, the lack of a clear demarcation between boyhood and manhood, the onset of violent video games, the worship of celebrity, and laws that make it nearly impossible to commit a person to a mental institution without their consent.
One might reasonably doubt that those politicians are really trying to solve the problem. It seems at least possible that they have ulterior motives. What might those be? You might consult the literature of their ideology and study history for answers. I'll leave that up to you.
President Obama, Hillary Clinton, and many others blame the gun for the crime. Hillary said in a recent speech that it is wrong not to hold the gun manufacturers accountable for these deaths. (I wonder how GM and Ford feel about that one.) I think it's safe to say that they and their supporters fall into the "guns are bad" camp.
History makes a counter argument. How did society function before widespread firearm ownership? In Europe and non-industrial parts of the world, power was held by the strong. The big man called the shots. The lord, baron, governor, duke, or king ran, what were in essence, protection rackets. There was no such thing as a middle class. There was little freedom or personal ambition and therefore progress was slow. It was a world that lacked justice and Thomas Hobbes famously described in Leviathan where life was "solitary, nasty, brutish, and short." In too many places, this describes life to this day.
Women were particularly vulnerable. They were nearly universally considered second class citizens, somewhere between men and children. This was not because women lacked strength of character and of mind, but strength of arm. The gun has served as an equalizer in society and indeed is a factor in ushering in the modern age.
The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution is amazingly powerful. It was written short and sweet so as to be difficult to subvert. That hasn't stopped the efforts of the left, as its spirit would forbid the existence of a gun free zone. Often, those who favor the restriction of firearms refer to the Second Amendment as out of date and not suited for modern life. To hold this view, you must ignore the rationale that the authors themselves gave for its prominence in the Bill of Rights.
The reason that the Second Amendment is in our Constitution is this – to protect personal power. James Madison explained the role of the militia (private armed citizens.) It was necessary as a check against any governing force, foreign or domestic.
Madison and his contemporaries understood human nature better than our current crop of leaders. In an ideal world, guns would be unnecessary. Everyone would be enlightened so as to eschew violence and warfare. They would not seek dominion over others. But as the men of America's founding knew, this is not human nature.
For that reason, guns are necessary. Like it or not. I believe the world is best served when moral and peace-loving people are better armed than those who are not. In the hands of the just, guns stop evil dead in its tracks. Therefore guns are a great good.

The NHL season is a little over three months late because of a dispute between owners and players.
But it's better late than never for many Chicagoans.
A Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. is not normally a busy time at the Palace Grill near United Center.
It's a clear sign that hockey is back and so are the fans on the West Side.
It is a huge relief for Palace Grill owner George Lemparis.
Lemparis, a huge hockey fan, said business was down more than 20-percent during the lockout.
It was a long couple of months without hockey but the wait is already history for some fans.
The Blackhawks are off to a hot start, winning their first two games on the road.
Their fans are ready to welcome them home to the United Center.
Of course, they are looking ahead and hoping for a long postseason playoff run.
Business owners like Sam Sianis of the Billy Goat are grateful for any hockey at all.
The souvenir and novelty business suffered without action on the ice.
There will be a collective sigh of relief on the West Side when the Blackhawks take the ice again at United Center.

Following is a direct quote from the Municipal Code of the Village of Mineola :
70. "Story" shall mean the portion of a building which is between one floor level and the next higher floor level or the roof. If a mezzanine floor area exceeds one third (1/3) of the floor immediately below, it shall be deemed to be a story. A basement shall be deemed to be a story when its ceiling is six (6) or more feet above the average finished grade. A cellar shall not be deemed to be a story. An attic shall not be deemed to be a story, if unfinished and not used for human occupancy. 1
SO - if you've been following the shenanigans involving 217 Horton Highway, VOM's Building Department and Jack Martins, champion of same, you know there has been some debate as to what constitutes a "story." You see, when the owner/architect/builder of 217 Horton Highway (John Cunha) applied for his construction permit, he sought to erect a 2 story, single family residence. At least that's what he put in writing. He went before the Architectural Review Board (what are their qualifications exactly?) and was approved for a 2 story, single family residence. The design approved called for a gabled roof that would provide unfinished, non-habitable space that could be used for storage - as opposed to a 2 story single family house with a pitched roof that could also provide unfinished, non-habitable space that could be used for storage - or as opposed to a 2 story single family house with a flat roof that would have no attic but might provide a crawl space that could be used for storage. The ARB did NOT approve a two and one-half story residence at 217 Horton Highway.
Let's repeat. Mineola's Architectural Review Board DID NOT APPROVE a 2.5 story residence at 217 Horton Highway.
Why then, did Building Superintendent/Parking Meter Attendant Daniel B. Whalen issue a Certificate of Occupancy for a 2.5 story residence when that isn't even what the owner applied for? Why was the owner not required to apply for a variance? The Code stipulates that single family residences can only be 2 stories high. That's 2 liveable stories with either a flat roof or a pitched/gabled roof with an unfinished attic. If Mr. Cunha, the owner/designer/builder of 217 Horton wanted two and a half-stories, he should have applied for it in his original permit request. He then would have been required to not only go before the ARB, but the Board of Zoning Appeals as well. But that's not what happened. Is it?
Somehow, somewhere along the way, another 1/2 story appeared on that house. You can't see it from the outside, so that means it's somewhere on the inside. Now where do you suppose it might be? Well since the "attic" has 16 windows and a sprinkler system and since Mr. Cunha had previously told people he intended to establish an office up there, it is safe for any reasonably intelligent human being to put 2 + 2 together to come up with 4. That is, Mr. Cunha has finished off at least half of the attic space to make it "habitable" and thereby "taxable." And the tax assessor's records have been updated to reflect the same.
Now it's not uncommon for people to finish their attics to create another bedroom, a study, a playroom, a gym - whatever. But there are laws to follow and if you are going to take an unfinished attic and finish it off, you have to apply for a permit first and you have to submit plans. But not Mr. Cunha. He didn't have to submit plans with his original permit application for new construction, nor did he have to submit a permit application after the fact. He just finished the space and his pal Danny B issued a Certificate of Occupancy for 2 1/2 stories.
But it gets better because when this was brought to the attention of Mayor Jack Martins, at TWO televised public meetings, his "honor" went into spin mode (as usual when it comes to the mechinations of the Building Department). He tried to explain away that magic half-story by re-writing state and local building codes off the cuff. According to Jack, unused, non-habitable space now constitutes a half story. I'm sure Albany will be happy to hear that. Not to mention Dan Whalen whose ass Jack is constantly covering.
Seriously people. You voted this guy in. Are you happy with yourselves? Because what you elected is someone who thinks everybody else is a fool. He believes nobody is as smart as he is. He repeatedly insults your intelligence by twisting facts and trying to lay blame where it doesn't belong.
Take the most recent case of the 13th Avenue residents who have been complaining about the noise emanating from the Verizon building. These folks, using common sense, did the most logical thing any reasonable people would do. They called MINEOLA's Building Department to complain. But did they receive any assistance? Not at all. They were brushed off and told to contact Garden City's DOB. Then when they exercised their right to raise the matter at a public meeting in December, Jack Martins complained that they should have come to him first. W T F ???? How about this? How about the Building Department staff does it's job by writing down the complaints and sending someone over to assess the situation while at the same time advising the mayor? Instead, they did nothing and when the affected residents brought the matter public, Jack put the onus back on them. Right where it didn't belong!
So THAT'S the story Morning Glories! Non-habitable space now constitutes taxable living space. Certain residents, like certain members of the Building Department enjoy "favored nation status." And you dear taxpayers, enjoy the privilege of bending down to get reamed up your derrieres while having your faces slapped at the same time. Relish the process!

I went to the doctor with what I thought was bronchitis, chest X-Ray showed pneumonia. Shots and meds and went home, on Friday. Tuesday my doctor called and told me they found a problem with my heart, but no other information! Later that day I received oxygen and a new prescription for myq blood pressure. Does anyone have info on this and what causes it? What I read scared me to death! However, my doctor doesn't seem that concerned with it!
Just found out I have Cardiomegaly?

Cardiomegaly just means an enlarged heart. Do you have breathing problems? Cardiomegaly is often seen in folks with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or after years of chronic bronchitis and asthma. When you have a chronic breathing problem like asthma or chronic bronchitis the heart has to work harder to get oxygenated blood out to the body tissues and organs so therefore over time it can become enlarged from working so hard.
Hi DzooBaby, you always have such good advice! I appreciate your consistent contribution to this site! I wish I could be more like that, but the older I get the harder it becomes! All this unexpected stuff keeps getting in my way! Have a great Thrusday and enjoy your weekend! Love ya, Niki
It is pretty common and that is probably why your Dr isnt too worried. He probably expected it if you have had long term breathing problems. Just try to take care of yourself the best you can. Eat right, take your meds, get a little exercise, that's about all any of us can do.
Can't walk right now because my hip is so inflamed? My biggest problem is not being able to walk enough! I've hardly been out of bed for almost a year. It is killing me, but unless the Reclast works and my bones get where they don't crumble so I can have some surgery I don't know what is going to happen! I am on Oxygen, at least at night. I used it a lot yesterday, don't know if this rainy weather had anything to do with it or not, but I felt bad all day. I feel much better today. Before the pneumonia started this time I was feeling very good and was up most of the day for a week of beautiful fall weather! When my husband is making decisions he likes to hear me play the piano, and I was able to sit for about an hour to play for him. The scoliosis is so bad I have trouble holding my backup, especially on a piano bench, so I had to stop playing for church after 30+ years! I feel lost!
Hi Aunt, DzooBaby is right on! I just want to expand a little. Cardiomegaly is not really a disease, but rather a symptom of another condition. Like DzooB says an enlarged heart. Some times the heart enlarges and becomes weak for unknown reasons. There are some conditions associated with an enlarged heart. HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, (your heart has to pump harder to deliver blood to your body which enlarges or thickening the heart muscle.) HEART VALVE DISEASE.(There are four valves with in your heart that keep blood flowing in the right direction. These valves may become damaged by such conditions: RHEUMATIC FEVER, CONGENITAL HEART DEFECT, INFECTIONS ENDOCARDITIS. an infection inside the heart. CONNECTIVE TISSUE DISORDERS, CERTAIN MEDICATIONS, AND WHAT DzooBaby referred to (COPD). CARDIOMYOPATHY IS A DESEASE OF THE HEART MUSCLE THAT MAY PRESENT ON CHEST X-RAY AS "CARDIOMEGALY" that is the thickening and stiffening of the heart muscle it' self.
Another condition is (PULMONARY HYPERTENSION) High blood pressure in the artery connecting your heart and lungs, your heart has to work harder to move blood between your heart and lungs, As a result, the right side of your heart will enlarge. There are a few other disorders I cannot remember what they are but they are rare. OH Thyroid disorders can contribute to an enlarged heart either an underactive or overactive thyroid. There are some other obscure blood disorders and proteins that can enlarge your heart, I can't remember. Their is another chronic condition of (ARRHYTHMIA) Abnormal heartbeat that can make your heart have to work harder, and may enlarge it. It is treatable! By correcting the underlying cause with medication "rarely" surgery is indicated. Most treatment's are controlling risk factors. No tobacco use, controlling high blood pressure, getting high cholesterol down and diabetes, helps your enlarged hart to remain stable, and can prevent the disease from worsening. There are millions of people walking around with enlarged heart's (Of course stay off that cocaine)Ha! I hope I did not muddy the water with all of this, I just tried to give you an over view of what is happening, and not to worry! It is mostly treated with medication. Take care
I appreciate all your comments! Don't know if I can leave the cocaine alone, but I found out this runs in my family. My grandmother lived 30 years with it. I have to go for more test to see what is causing it, but I would say high blood pressure. Pain always makes your blood pressure high and I lived a long time with pain. My doctor changed my blood pressure medicine and had oxygen sent to my house. I've had pneumonia and bronchitis already this year which could be a cause. I will have to wait for test, now that everyone scared me to death! LOL. Going to take it seriously for sure!
Dear auntniknik,
I am so sorry to hear you are feeling poorly. I don't have any information for you pertaining to this, but I just wanted to say that I am sorry for your fears and to encourage you. Please try not to be too fearful. Sometimes the internet can be more of an enemy than a friend if we go after things. Remember, people generally only post when they have experienced bad news or effects. Good news, side effects, etc does not usually make it to the 'net.
Please take care,
Hey there Jillynnie. Very good point. and also very true. Far to often, the negatives are shown, and the positives can take a back seat. Shutting down early tonight, bit tired, (what else is knew huh? :0) and going to put up my feet, watch some golf (dvd) or catch the Tigers/Rangers, baseball, playoffs, now still in a rain delay) Oh, heres one. Doctor-you'll make it to 60. Patient-But, doc, I am 60! Doctor- See, I told you so... Goodnight to everyone, be well, and lets hope and wish the best for one and all. Ha! care for a cuppa? Good night then.
sweet pledge,
you made me snort! lol My dog looked up at me. That was so funny. :)
I'll take that cuppa in the morning. Trying to cut down on my caffeine. (does a zebra have stripes?!) well, wish me luck anyway.
Love ya!
Hey Jillynnie, thank you so very much for the kind words! You are so sweet. I'm sorry I haven't checked on you lately! Hope you have been well. We have have overcast with light showers for days now! Just as I started to feel human again the weather changed! Have a great weekend and thanks again for caring, love ya, Niki
I am sorry to hear the weather affecting you. I can relate, hon. it's been a struggle, as we've needed the rain so desperately but the barometric pressure is wreaking havoc on our fibro, yes?!
Please let me know how you are doing!
Best to you sweet Nikki!
Good Thursday morning to you Mary. I know you've no time for a cuppa so wishing you the best, have a safe drive, and we'll chat another time.
Mary, you're in my thoughts and prayers, but I haven't felt like being on the Internet! I am getting more strength back slowly! The oxygen seems to be helping. I don't have to use it all the time! I have had chronic bronchitis since I was a child, plus I found out my grand mother and 4 of her 6 sisters had congestive heart failure and lived 20+ years with it! I only worry about no insurance and being able to have the treatments I need. My dad had 6 bypass surgery! They thought it was 4, but when they got in they found two more blockages! That means it runs on both sides of my family. My mother, her dad and brother all died from cancer, so when I read Cardiomegaly could be heart cancer it scared me! It is now Thrusday morning and I have had time to process and I'm no longer worried! Just wanted you to know I've been thinly of you! Love ya, Niki
Good morning Pledge, just as I started to write to you my husband brought me a cup of hot hot coffee! So, here's to you! Have a great Thursday! Niki
Mary, thinly would be good for me, but it should have said thinking!
Thanks sweetie, I've been thinking of you too. I've been having some problems too & haven't been on much this week. Hopefully it's over today, say a prayer for me, but understand why you are not on the net. Take care of you , & PM me when you have time & feel like it. Your friend, Mary
Hi auntniknik,
Everyone had positive things to say to you, Mary, pledge and DzooBaby all.
And your doc isn't all the concerned, so perhaps you are worried because of what you read on the web?
I'm certainly not trying to minimize what you are going through my friend!!
I too would be frightened, yet especially if your doc isn't worried, perhaps you shouldn't be either?
I just got over a nasty case of pneumonia myself this summer. It most certainly does seem to make ones heart work harder!! I recall that my heart felt like it was just pounding quite hard and I felt a bit breathless. Do you feel that way as well?
I shall keep you in me prayers niknik. Best wishes to you, and please keep us updated on this?
Your friend,
Good morning sweet lemon. tad early, coffee is just made, hot, and its a dark roast this morning, filled with caffeine :-0) Fresh bagels, croissants, along with apple fritters and cinnamon rolls. Marys of to the races this morn, so we'll set something aside for her. Have a great day sweet and for anyone who might be reading this theres plenty of goodies to go around, feel free to enjoy and if you've got the urge for seconds, certainly help yourself.
... well thank God for pledge coffee, I really NEED the caffiene this morning, no sleep, forgot my meds last night, again!!!
Golfing today pledge? Hope your weather is fine today!!
Hi sweet lemon. I was up at 3-30 :-0( No golf today, drizzling here, supposed to be sunny tomorrow though and, Sat and Sun. but theres a tournament PGA European Tour, the Portugal Masters, first round from out of Vilamoura, Portugal, thats being covered on the Golf Channel from 9am till about 12-30, so I'll be watching it. The Tigers lost last night :-0( The possible final game is on at 4-pm eastern, weather permitting. That was a long rain delay yesterday. Hows the coffee, care for a second cup? Ha! :-0)
pledge, my hubby is a Tiger nut, and he was at the game last night, oh is he disappointed!!
Hope the weather stays good in Portugal for golf tourney!!!
Hey Sweet Lemon, this is my 2nd bout of pneumonia since last November and that is exactly how I feel! The elephant that was sitting on my chest all the time must be taking more breaks! Someone should fire him, so he would go away for good! At least it isn't all the time anymore! I shouldn't have read information on this until I was feeling better because when you are sick everything seems worse! Lesson learned! I was getting things back to normal and having some good days, my pain was much more under control and the weather was beautiful! I opened the windows, turned on my ceiling fan and turned the AC off to enjoy my favorite time of year! I live across the street from a small University and I can hear all the bands from the fraternity parties! The one I can hear from our bedroom was playing great 70's music! But I woke up with a cold the next morning!
I should have gone to the doctor the following Monday, but without Insurance I put it off until it got so bad I had my first ever panic attack and I'm 57 years old! For some reason I was worrying about everything, even things that I would usually not give a second thought to! In two weeks I had 8 panic attacks. My daughter has had them before, but I never believed they were as serious as they are and I thought mind over matter could control or stop them from happening at all! Boy, was I ever wrong! Xanax didn't even stop them! Don't have a clue what that was all about, but my sweet doctor said they were from all the stress placed on me from the extra exertion my body was going through fighting off the pneumonia! I'm sure I need to apologize to my daughter for making me miss riding rollercoasters, climbing to the top of Look out Mountain, and going in caves on vacations over the years, but she is at a conference and will not be back for another week! I always thought that was her excuse because we didn't go where she wanted to go!
I am going to do exactly as my doctor tells me to on this one because things can go bad very quickly when you can't breathe! I have to go in this week for blood test, so maybe it will just be from the extra work my heart had to do while I had pneumonia! Love ya, Niki
Hey Pledge, my husband and I used to forward our company phone to our cellphones and hit the golf course! Even played a few little local tournaments! He was really good until he broke his hip! I wasn't consistent! One day I
WOW! That was weird! Typing away and I went away!
Anyway, one day I played great and the next I played worse than when I first started! My doctor, no longer living, told me to have a couple of beers before I played to loosen up! Then golf became fun! Our little country club only has 9 holes, but we had a blast out there for many years while the kids were growing up! I have a sister that is really good, she won the ladies club championship at Southern Oaks (?) in Tulsa several times when she lived there. When her world turned upside down, divorced after 30 years from a life of wealth to near poverty, she was so depressed I thought I would never find a way to get her over it, who knew it would be golf! Especially since I can no longer play! She won a tournament somewhere last weekend and is playing again this weekend! I'm really proud of her and for her!
Hello auntniknik. I only now, managed to get the cmpter, my wife uses it before leaving for her day, and it kind of works itself out, I get caught up on some chores and such. Well, thanks for the golf news.:-0) Its theraputic for me, in as much as I find it relaxs. Be it on the course, or watching on tv. I'm really fortunate in as much as my wife also enjoys sports. Not heavy on golf, but bowling, fishing, and football (NFL) as well as college. Thats pretty fair. I've brothers whose wifes, don't care for sports. They're football widows, but we(my wife) look forward to most any football game thats being played, and if its a close to interesting game, we sit down and take it in. Chatted away here, hope that you are feeling a bit better. Maybe one day, the golfers from the site, might get together, play nine holes, tell stories. The other members not into golf, could play tennis, or take in the spa (we'd be staying at a resort) or any other number of activities that it would have to offer.
My husband fished professionally for a while, until he broke his hip he had a free boat with sponsors and we fished from upstate New York to Florida to Texas and everywhere in between, Yes, the one on TV! He was really good and getting up there when he broke his hip! It takes a very long time to get to the top and beat the guys who have enough money or sponsors to
I changed machines so maybe I can complete a message before it post!
send 5 or 6 guys to pre-fish a lake for a week for the next tournament! Someone drives their vehicle and boat and the Pros fly in so they will not be so tired! Before, you could earn your way to the top, then if you were lucky you got sponsors to help with your expenses After BASS was purchased by ESPN everything got so expensive it put a lot of the young guys out. They will be really good one day, but they have to get there another way unless they have a lot of money or they know someone.
After he broke his hip he was able to help a friend with all the info for an FLW tournament and he won! He didn't need a new boat so he all but gave it to my husband. We were able to pick out everything we wanted on it, I picked the colors and the radio and he chose the rest! It was a 2009 Triton X3 serial number 0006! We drove to their factory in TN to pick it up! What an exciting day to see something you designed as a finished product! And a great way of incorporating what I love with fishing! Isn't he clever? It is white w/silver sparkles and little black pin stripes with gray leather seats and gray carpet, just like his truck, without the sparkles! The first 5 boats went to the showroom at the Classic! We have really had a lot of fun, seen some beautiful places, made a lot of friends and memories along the way. We've been downtown New York City, Washinton D.C., Philadelphia, and Chicago pulling that boat! It was a great excuse for him to not have to park so I could shop! LOL. Later Pledge, Niki
PS The friend who won the FLW Tournament also won a Kentucky Derby!
Ha! :-0) good for you, niki and your husband. You must be proud and rightfully so. Sounds as if he and yourself really got to get into something you love and got paid to boot for it. My father-in-law, now passed on, was an avid bass fisher. When, we still lived in Florida, and he was still then alive, we'd meet at say my home, he'd either leave his boat at his home (lived off a small canal) or just drive up to our place (we also then lived on a canal) and whichever spot was hot, we'd take that boat, head out to the river or one of the lakes and cast away. Miss those times. We'd spend hours fishing. Telling stories, lots of lies, but it was and they still are good memories. We moved up from Florida, here to South Carolina, get away from the hurricanes. Back in 04 or 05, we had two, that came and did a number on our property. Well, just tired of picking up after storms. Thats life.
Now, we live about a 2 and a half hour ride from the coast and about a 7 hour ride from where we once lived in Florida. All my in-laws as well as my son and grand kids live throughtout the northern, gulf coast side of the state, Panhandle and such. Time for a cuppa ( instant, Nescafe) and I'll say goodbye for now then.
We are only 2 hours from the gulf coast. This is the first year that I can remember that we haven't been to the beach. My brother-in-law has a beach house at Gulf Shore, AL, we like Perdido Key! Our son-in-law lost everything in Katrina, including a new car he didn't even have insurance on it! He was a chef for Emerill, but if not for that he wouldn't be our son-in-law! Can't blame you for running from the storms, as we get older rebuilding and starting over gets harder!
We fished near Jacksonville one time and Ricky took me back in a slew and alligators were everywhere. He had to take me back to where we were staying! Being in real estate he always found us amazing places to stay and got great deals by returning the favor! Before fishing he taught me to love bow hunting. We has a camp and my parents would bring their motor home and stay a week or more. We really have awesome memories cooking on an old wood stove, loading the kids in a trailer behind the four wheeler going to get the Christmas tree, and all those fun outdoor things! We had Thanksgiving and Christmas there for many years, but we finally decided to sell it after the kids married and moved away and our parents died. Too much work for two!

"Every time they plug in, MINOT delivers unnervingly intense instrumental rock designed to flip the dance-switch in the listener's brain with a platinum sledgehammer. MINOT's style is deceptively complex: livid post-punk energy roils beneath a surface of cooly understated psychedelic instrumental composition. Their music is immediately familiar, yet they're a singularity in the world of post-rock. MINOT (pronounced "MY-not") has very little to do with those ubiquitous reverb-soaked crescendo-rock bands; they don't borrow those sounds, nor do they dwell in melancholy themes. They are a bundle of contradictions: dark, but up-tempo; heavy, but danceable; aggressive, but patient. Their style has been shaped by experimental bands on the fringe of rock music, like Turing Machine, The Psychic Paramount, The Paper Chase, and Future Of The Left. These influences brought the three members to an interesting musical intersection. MINOT puts experimentalism and fury back into instrumental rock.
Guitarist/midi-programmer Matthew Solberg, formerly of From Monument To Masses (Dim Mak Records), began writing the music that would become MINOT shortly before FMTM broke up in 2010. He and drummer Shannon Corr had played together for years in the San Francisco Bay Area noise rock band TURKS as a rhythm section and it was that dynamic which largely defined the way they would proceed in 2011 with MINOT. Solberg's guitar playing shunted into Corr's drumming the way a bass guitar would, which allowed bassist Ben Thorne to explore a more unconventional space. Thorne had played for years in Low Red Land (Thinker Thought Records) and years later MINOT would be fortunate enough to share his skills with San Francisco's Tartufi (Southern UK), a band with whom he still plays. His basslines throttle uncannily through roots and melodies alike. Corr's drumming burns tirelessly and almost mechanically, invoking memories of Jerry Fuchs. Solberg has left most of his pretty melodic arpeggios behind, opting for jagged, biting riffs that shudder with strange effects and hummingbird-quick strumming.
MINOT move through their paces like veterans. From playing crazily energetic shows all over the West Coast in service of last year's debut EP and 7", to producing their new LP with Robert Cheek at Red Room in Seattle, they are making every move count. The Mylene Sheath (Caspian, Pelican, Junius, Aeges) and Golden Antenna (Maserati, From Monument To Masses) will co-release the band's first full-length LP on July 1, 2014. Tour dates, news, and more will be updated regularly at www.minotband.com."

Hi all,
sorry to interrupt ur conversation..I am using the above code to read the data from a CSV. It is reading fine, except it also prints the column name, which i dont want. I tried changing the the for loop so that it reads from 2nd row where my actual data starts. It didnt work, changing the i value there does not display the data at all…
suggest please
works perfectly !!! thanks
how you decided to 5 rows ???
r u programmer?
just to say you can use:
for ($i = 0; $i < count($buffer); ++$i)
to count the rows in the CSV and iterate round the dynamic amount of rows. Its better than using the fixed number as sometimes you may want to count a changing CSV file.
Peter it works fine with for ($i = 0; $i < count($buffer); ++$i)
I want to use a csv file data a value stored in a particular row and column and use this value as a variable. How can I do this

If you've kept up with installments I-III of Fine Bagels Goes to America, you might have noticed a hole in our eating. Or, rather, a lack thereof. The trip involved so many deli sandwiches. So many pickles. Such an unreasonable amount of chopped liver. All this and yet…no bagels. Whilst in America, shouldn't we have been hitting up bagel shops with the same sort of compulsion we wander suburban Targets? No, reader. No. We've said it before. If there was a Rosenfeld's Bagels in Berlin, we never would have had to start making our own bagels. And so, when Fine Bagels went to America, there was only one stop for bagels. One stop, oft repeated. So now, a treat: the bagel portion of Fine Bagels Goes to America. In which we try to keep our cool around a true bagel master. Rosenfeld's was opened in 1973 in Newton Centre and to this day, there is still just the one location where everything is baked on-site, open Wednesdays through Sundays. Most of the place is bakery, packed with equipment and ovens, and the rest is a small storefront with the essentials: cream cheese fridge, bagel display, and piles of challah, babka, and coffee rings. In case there was any doubt, these are proper NY-style water-boiled bagels. ("Montreal bagels are hideous. No salt. No taste at all.")Mike, the guy who runs the place, was good enough to indulge our super fandom and went out of his way to take us around the bakery, explaining everything from equipment to ingredients. Mike started working at Rosenfeld's in 1988 on the week of Thanksgiving. His first day was a rainy one and when it rained back in those days, the stairwell behind the bakery would flood. Result being that his first job at the bakery was bailing water with a coffee cup. (Mike took us back there to show us). But he figured it wasn't as bad as construction work so he stayed with it, planning to stick around 6 months. Nearly thirty years later, after working his way into every aspect of the business and process, he takes care of the whole baking operation.
Now, here is where we think it's important to clarify. Mike doesn't just manage the place, but also one of the four bakers. He has his hands in the dough every day and is constantly modifying, adjusting, and improving. He fiddles with water temperatures, dough saturation, yeasts, and braiding techniques. Anything to get a better bagel. A more perfect loaf of challah. As Mike himself says, "One of the funnest aspects is that it's never exactly right. There's always room for improvement." The point we're trying to make is that this is no laissez-faire way of running a bakery. Mike cares about what he does. Mike's keeping things old-fashioned, in the best way possible. The place is something of a modern reflection of the old immigrant-run basement-level bagel bakeries of the Lower East Side where the bagel developed into what it is today (or rather, what, under ideal circumstances, the bagel is today). And when we say modern reflection…well…Mike says, "I like that you can come here and it's still like 1975." Which is fantastic. Because we at Fine Bagels hate change. Particularly with the aesthetics of a beloved institution.
Mike told us that if we wanted to know about the kind of place Rosenfeld's was back in the day, this video captures the essence of both the kind of place and the kind of guys who were making the bagels. And indeed, it was well worth the watching, if only to hear spoken the line,"These people in the Midwest wouldn't know a bagel from a doughnut. Only reason they ever saw a bagel was one fell off a truck."
Despite it's ubiquity, the bagel took a quality downturn in the late twentieth century. Us at Fine Bagels were largely sheltered from The Great Bagel Crap-ization. We come from a coddling and protective family. In our bubble of privelege, we assumed all bagels were on par with a toasted Rosenfeld's onion bagel lathered thick in vegetable cream cheese. But all the while, this was a bad era for the bagel. As Mike says, "What the bagel became in the 1990's was a big soft sweet hamburger bun with a hole in it. And that's not what a bagel is." Oh yes. YES. Thank you, Mike. We're going to adapt that phrase, substituting "the 1990's" for "Berlin," translate it to German, and shout it aggressively from the front step of Fine Bagels. Rosenfeld's makes thousands of bagels a day and the most popular flavor is plain, followed by everything and sesame. They've got all the good flavors…garlic, onion, salt, egg, pumpernickel, caraway…even the unicorn that is a a potato bagel. We visited on St. Patrick's day. For those of you anthropologically unfamiliar with Boston, the holiday is observed primarily by adding green food coloring to otherwise ordinary objects. Rosenfeld's did not disappoint.
Rosenfeld's doesn't just make great bagels, they make the best challah we've ever eaten. Ever. When we were in college in Medford, we'd take the Green Line, that disfunctional little trolley, all the way across the city just to get a loaf. This challah habit of ours culminated in the great challah binge of 2002, which we're torn between never speaking of again or saving for an overshare. We were excited to discover that it was Mike himself who brought challah-baking to Rosenfeld's. Now we know who to blame for those extra five pounds we could never seem to lose until the day we moved out of Boston.Before we left, we asked Mike why Rosenfeld's bagels are the best we've ever had. His answer was simple. "Process. Skill. You can get a bagel anywhere, but you can't get that anywhere."
In case it didn't come across by now, we walked away impressed. These bagels, we've known them our whole life and yet never knew anything about them. And sometimes, when you dig into these things, you're putting that pedestal you built at risk for a crash. Heck, we half expected to be let down. After all, adulthood is full of disappointments. (Family motto on both sides). That's why finding out that our favorite bagel place is really, truly, keepin' it real, it meant a lot. There was no disappointment this day. As Mike said to us, "You have to do this to do this." So almost thirty years in, he's there on his day off counting cream cheese containers.

WVU Department of English unveils new clothing design
The West Virginia University Department of English has unveiled its new T-shirts and hoodies. The clothing displays the Department motto, Montani Semper Litterati, meaning "Mountaineers [are] Always Cultured," printed on the back.
The motto, a homage to the motto on the West Virginia state seal (Montani Semper Liberi—Mountaineers Always Free), was selected by the entire department from a slate of more than 15 finalists, which ranged from pithy puns to quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson and Groucho Marx. The winning motto was coined by Glenn Taylor, a second-year assistant professor of creative writing.
T-shirts are dark blue with a gold logo on the front that includes the flying WV encircled by the words English Department. Hoodies come in gray or dark blue with the flying WV over the breast and the word "English" printed down one sleeve. All display the motto on the back.
Although there are no plans to require faculty, staff and students to fly their department colors on any particular day of the week, expect to see many tenants of Colson Hall (the English Department's home on campus) proudly displaying their allegiance to English.
T-shirts range in price from $7.50 to $12 and hoodies start at $23.90. All prices are based on size and color. Quantities are limited.
For information about purchasing a shirt or hoodie, please contact Michele Marshall at 304-293-3100 or email@example.com.

| Numroto Draw produces fully dimensioned engineering drawings of machine tools, including accurate portrayal of a tool's profile and cross-sectional geometry.
NUM is a developer of CNC machining software for machining, including platforms for rotary transfer and multispindle machining, high-speed multi-axis machining, gear grinding, and other tasks. Numroto is a platform for tool grinding applications.
The Numroto Draw function allows users to simulate precise details of tools prior to production, or to confirm the ground geometry of a tool as part of the delivery process. The developer also indicated the software will be popular with tool resharpening companies, who can use it to provide customers with documentation of their work, before or after it is complete.
"Our software is extremely popular with tool manufacturers and resharpening companies," offered NUM Numroto group R&D head Patrick Schmid, who described more than 3,000 installations for more than 50 different machine types. "Numroto Draw is the latest technological milestone in the evolution of tool grinding software. By effectively automating product documentation, it will help users accelerate production verification, aid quality control, and lead to faster order delivery."
| Numrotoplus software uses detailed graphical and color images to show the grinding process. In this example, a milling cutter wheel will overheat unless the user modifies the program.
Most currently available product documentation software for multi-axis tool grinding are relatively simple drawing generators, generally limited to a single type of tool, such as a drill, and present information as parameterized drawings. While these are adequate for documenting the outer geometry of a tool, they do not show the precise cross-sectional details of a complex, ground geometry.
Numroto Draw works by integrating the drawing functions with the multiple data sources in the core Numroto software. A drawing is derived directly from the same data source as the CNC program, ensuring there is no ambiguity in the process. Using data that defines the spatial course of the tool's cutting edge, the software automatically calculates all dimensions that require presentation and then generates the appropriate drawing. If any of the dimensions do not meet a customer's requirement, they can be amended very easily.
In addition, if the Numroto program also includes the grinding wheel data, Numroto Draw can process this information to create 3D details and integrate them with the drawing. 3D details can be represented as color images or as wire frame models, and provide an extremely accurate portrayal of the tool's profile or cross-sectional geometry between or at any position(s) along its length.
Drawings created in Numroto Draw are fully editable. Users can structure header information to suit a customer's requirements, and the tool designation can be taken directly from the Numroto database. A separate table showing a tool's main parameters can be created either by the user or adapted from one of the program templates, and populated using values from the Numroto database. The documentation (which can be structured to occupy several pages if desired) also may include a graphical representation of the grinding wheel pack, together with a table containing information about each wheel, such as its diameter, width and grinding angle.
| 3D tool and machine simulation, with animation, presents a comprehensive overview of the grinding process.
The CNC software developer stated that Numroto Draw function helps to shorten the sampling process. Customers of tool-grinding companies often describe their requirement for a new tool vocally, with the help of hand-drawn sketches. After creating a CNC program for the tool-grinding machine, the company then grinds a sample tool. At that point any necessary revisions to the design become apparent, and the process is often highly iterative.
Using Numroto Draw, companies can now present customers with a drawing showing the precise grindable geometry of the tool very early in the development cycle. A 3D model can be created, so the customer can view the proposed tool from various perspectives. Any design changes can be implemented immediately, prior to grinding a sample tool, accelerating the process and minimizing costs and scrap.
NUM also reported enhancements to other Numroto capabilities. The number and type of measurements that can be performed during grinding operations has been extended significantly. Typically, operators can maintain tolerances to within ±3 microns, even when producing a wide range of tools that may involve as many as 15 different measurements. Also, the software now features an XML data interface, so tool geometry parameters such as length, diameter, rake angle, relief information and many others can be exported for use in other programs, or imported from a customer's database to shorten the design-to-production path.

Lazio have the upper hand in the Coppa Italia semi-final after a late 1-1 draw in Turin, despite Federico Peluso's first goal for the club. The second leg is on January 29 and the Biancocelesti have an away goal.
Juve were without Andrea Pirlo, Giorgio Chiellini, Nicklas Bendtner, Simone Pepe, Kwadwo Asamoah and the suspended Fabio Quagliarella, while Mirko Vucinic was rested due to an ankle problem. Antonio Conte completely reshuffled with Luca Marrone in the back three and Claudio Marchisio supporting lone striker Alessandro Matri. Lazio missed Miroslav Klose, Abdoullay Konko, Ederson and the banned Andre Dias.
Federico Marchetti needed a save in the opening 45 seconds as Marchisio rushed in behind Matri to pounce on a ricochet. Leonardo Bonucci then nodded a free kick over from close range and Paul Pogba went close twice from a corner on the day he unveiled a new haircut.
Michael Ciani's header was also off target from a corner for Lazio, but Juve almost gave a goal away when Marco Storari dropped an easy catch and was fortunate nobody could tap in.
Pedro Luis Cavanda horribly scuffed his shot from an excellent scoring position, then Emanuele Giaccherini rushed back for a crucial interception on Hernanes. The Bianconeri defence was shaky, as Bonucci was hobbling with an injury.
Juve escaped another huge risk on 35 minutes, as Senad Lulic's cross was mis-kicked into the air by Marrone, but a desperate Andrea Barzagli scramble prevented Stefano Mauri from bundling it over the line from a couple of yards.
At the other end, a dangerous Mauricio Isla cross was turned over the bar. Bonucci could not continue any more and hobbled off before the break, making way for Martin Caceres.
In stoppages, Giaccherini unleashed a powerful strike from distance and Marchetti did well to get a strong catch.
Marchetti performed heroics here in November and he had another glorious save on 54 minutes when Matri ran on to a long cross-field Marrone pass to volley, but the Lazio goalkeeper got his fingertips to turn it out from under the bar.
Juventus finally found the breakthrough when a corner was taken short, then whipped in for Peluso's towering header into the far bottom corner. It was the January signing's first goal in a Bianconeri jersey. Curiously, Vucinic was on the touchline waiting to come on in place of Peluso when the goal was scored, but Conte changed his mind after that strike.
Matri threatened a second with a wonderful touch to hook the long pass, but Lorik Cana came sliding in and did just about enough to put him off.
Juve somehow failed to make it 2-0, as Arturo Vidal sprung the offside trap on a Matri pass and went clear, but the prod with the outside of his boot thumped against the base of the post with an open goal. The move continued and Vidal was again unable to turn in amid chaotic scenes.
Vidal was again denied, but this time he got away from defenders for a looping header on Vucinic's cross and Marchetti flew to claw it away just before it could go over the line. It was a truly stunning save, as the goalkeeper had to change direction and jump at full stretch.
Vucinic went down under a Giuseppe Biava challenge, but Juve paid the price for not taking those chances when Lazio got an equaliser in the final minutes.
An Antonio Candreva corner was flicked on to the back post for Mauri to prod his low volley in from five yards, as Paolo De Ceglie seemed to lose his man.
Matri fired straight at Marchetti, Vucinic dragged a shot wide and the goalkeeper smothered a Giaccherini snapshot, as Juve found it too late to restore their advantage.
Juventus 1-1 Lazio

"My Host Family doesn't love me!". A journal analysis.
Let me get straight to the point and tell you how I feel. It's been more than a month that I have been living with my host parents. First few weeks were great but now I feel as if they don't treat me the same way they used to. They don't smile with me all the time, they take all the work from me while their own daughter is just sitting on the couch and watching the Television. Last night they shifted my bedroom in the basement although I was much happy with the upstairs room that I shared with my host sister. I guess they don't like me anymore. I hope their attitudes get better with time. I miss home, China. "
If some of you feel the same like this upper paragraph. Then you are all at the right place. This phase is your homesickness/cultural shock phase. With all the different things you are trying, you find ways to express yourselves. With every month passing your host family will adjust with you even more and that's when one thinks as if they don't like them anymore.
If they ask you to do a chore, this means they trust you enough to do it. Now they believe you are part of their family and it's very natural to entrust you with a responsibility which their own son/daughter can't do. Cleaning your room, washing dishes, taking the garbage out, eating the vegetables, taking the dog out for a walk, doing the laundry and not using much social media is a part of your exchange year. This maybe is quite different from your own culture but in order to be successful, get use to it.
The mentioned story in the begining is a true story of one of my friends from China and she wanted me to share this excerpt from her journals with all of you. She said, as she reads it now, these are all good memories to her and she laughs at them. Yes, you heard it right. Those were good memories. She is a successful alumna and is doing her degree from University of Massachusetts. Wait! There is one thing to unleash about her; she is living with her dearest host family.
I hope this was helpful to you.

Excellent work! I like the idea of Mad Max cars, sort of like Necromunda outlanders... But giant lizards or some other beasts of burden would give them a nice feral give.... Looking forward to more!ReplyDeleteReplies
Agh, I may need broken cars carried by giant lizards! :DDelete
Those kitbashes are wonderful ! It makes so much sense now !ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! Still lots of work incoming! Let's see what happens, hehe.Delete

Aw man, these are so good - best use for the Escape from Goblin Town set that I have ever seen. Can't wait to see a lick of paint on 'em! As for mounts - creatures or vehicles? Hmmm... tough call... I think creatures... Have you seen these? https://antediluvianminiatures.wordpress.com/2015/12/14/shop/ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh, man, why do you do this to me?? I didn't know of these minis, I'm in love!! Thank you!!Delete
That's a pretty cool lookin raggedy mob there Suber. Very nice :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! The progress is slow, but I hope I'll dare to more complex conversions for the second batch...Delete
Great looking unit!Awesome conversion!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! I'm enjoying these so much!Delete
These are awesome such ace conversionsReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks! They have some strange PA quality, you can do almost anything and they'll still work.Delete
Wow, those are great! How are you thinking of painting them? Pallid creatures of the night? Sunburnt cancerous wretches?ReplyDelete
For your second set, a different type of weapon would probably help to set them apart (tau arms and guns?)Replies
Thank you! Hmm, my first thought was the pale approach, but now that you say it, maybe something more colourful would work as well, if not even better. Hmm...Delete
Still unsure of what I will do with the rest. I saw a diplodocus toy yesterday that boosted up my imagination for a walking fortress; kind of a post apoc mûmak. So I may use the whole bunch of remaining muties on the beast!Hm. Still to be seen...
you sure are working hard on those,ReplyDelete
they look amazing! :)
I really want to see those finished!Replies
Thank you!! Soon, soooon... (mwahahaha)Delete
Awesome looking wips:)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! Hoping I don't screw it when painting!Delete

Kris Humphries To EXPOSE Kim Uses Enhancements On Her BUTT!
According to sources, Kris Humphries is threatening to expose the truth — Kim Kardashian's butt is enhanced!
The reality TV sexpot insists her bubble butt is all natural and even displayed an X-ray of what she claimed was her backside on her show to use as proof.
But some insiders claim the curvy 31-year-old beauty uses butt pads and say Kris filmed a video that proves his estranged wife's prized posterior is phony!
Kris remarked to pals that, while he loves Kim's shapely butt, it's not the same as what you see on the red carpet…or TV.
"Kris told his buddies that it takes a lot of work for Kim to make her bottom look as good as it does," said a source. "He revealed all her secrets – how she uses 'booty pads,' Spanx and other things to enhance it. When she takes off the Spanx, the pads and everything else, it's not the same.
"He knows what the real thing looks like – because he's recorded it on his cell phone camera!"….
The first source added: "Kim is all about creating illusion. Having Kris spill the beans about how she really maintains her world-famous butt would be devastating to her."
Perhaps Kim's concerns explain why she cut short an Australian business trip in early November and flew back to L.A.
"She frantically called Kris but that didn't work," said the source. "So she hopped a red-eye flight to his parents' home in Minnesota to talk to him in person.
"I think Kim wants to make sure Kris keeps the secrets about her body to himself – and NEVER, ever releases the film footage he has of her."
BUTT SHOT Case Thrown OUT! Anivia Cruz Said To Have Used "KRAZY GLUE"!!
Anivia Cruz-Dilworth who allegedly provided illegal butt shots and used sealers such as Krazy Glue on the women got her case thrown out!
NJ.com reports, Anivia Cruz-Dilworth, the New Brunswick, NJ model indicted last year for illegally providing buttocks-enhancing injections, will receive a temporary reprieve after a judge tossed out her case today for a faulty indictment.
"The statute pursuant to which she was charged has five subsections," said defense attorney Thomas Ashley. "The indictment did not specify which subsection the grand jury found she had violated."
Therefore, Ashley said, Cruz-Dilworth could not be expected to mount a defense.
Newark Superior Court Judge Michael Petrolli tossed the case out today on those grounds. The Prosecutor's office has the option of re-indicting.
Anivia Cruz-Dilworth, 28, owns "It's Anivia" cosmetics and skin care line. She is under contract with a major modeling agency. She allegedly assured several women who went to her for buttocks-enhancement injections that she was a trained professional, authorities said.
A months-long investigation into the allegations revealed Cruz-Dilworth had injected the women with what she described as a hydro-gel, a solid, jelly-like material that caused serious bacterial infections, including cellulitis and necrosis, said Essex County Assistant Prosecutor Peter Sepulveda. An investigator with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration also assisted, but the substance used, at first thought to be similar to bathtub caulk, was never conclusively determined.
The injections were sealed with liquid adhesives such as Krazy Glue, prosecutor's alleged. Cruz-Dilworth allegedly charged up to $1,250 for the procedure.
Cruz-Dilworth would "use a syringe, mark them, inject them, then use Krazy Glue to seal it," Sepulveda said.
"In light of the judge's decision we're going to review the case and make a decision in the future as to whether or not we will re-indict the defendant or take another course," said Katehrine Carter, a spokeswoman for the Essex County Prosecutor's Office.

Free Public Service Announcement, Featuring The Gardener Guy™ Paul James, Calls Attention To The Important Role Public Gardens Play in The Community
AZUSA, CA (March 10, 2010) – In support of the second annual National Public Gardens Day, the American Public Gardens Association has released a broadcast public service announcement featuring master gardener Paul James, host of HGTV's Gardening By The Yard. National Public Gardens Day is a day of awareness in which communities nationwide are invited to visit and learn about the important role that public gardens play in promoting environmental stewardship and awareness,
The Public Service Announcement is produced in partnership between the American Public Gardens Association (APGA), a non-profit organization devoted to strengthening American public gardens and Rain Bird, a leading manufacturer and provider of irrigation products. The 30-second broadcast PSA spotlights the role public gardens play in plant and water conservation while calling attention to the wealth of information that is available to viewers at their local public gardens. The PSA is close-captioned and intended to play during the weeks leading up to National Public Gardens Day.
Scheduled for May 7th, 2010, the Friday preceding Mother's Day weekend, National Public Gardens Day is a national day of awareness in which the public is invited to learn about the important role their public gardens play in promoting environmental stewardship and awareness, plant and water conservation, and education.
"There are so many great public gardens across the nation and each is a great source of inspiration and knowledge for homeowners to apply to their own residential landscapes," said Paul James. "It is important to recognize that most public gardens are more than just beautiful places to spend a Sunday afternoon. They also play an important role in the advancement of environmental stewardship, education and plant and water conservation within the communities they serve."
Created in partnership between the American Public Gardens Association and irrigation product and service provider Rain Bird, National Public Gardens Day will showcase the contributions of public gardens with special events and activities for schools, families and thousands of visitors at many of the more than 500 North American public gardens.
Become a fan of National Public Gardens Day on Facebook and follow the National Public Gardens Day Twitter feed, @NPGD.
