Pruning your grapevines annually can stimulate healthy, vigorous vine growth that produces better tasting crops of grapes. Regular pruning can also increase the air circulation to your grapevines, reducing their risk of contracting fungal diseases such as powdery mildew, downy mildew and grey mould. Schiava Grossa, Regent, Perlette, Muscat of Alexandria and Siegerrebe are just a few of the many varieties of grapes grown successfully in UK gardens and vineyards.
First year pruning
Wait for the main stem on your grapevines to grow to 3 metres (10 feet) before pruning them for the first time.
Prune the side branches back to just five leaves. Cut the shoots growing from the side branches back to a single leaf.
Cut the main stem back by two-thirds and prune the side branches back to one strong bud when you prune the grapevines in December.
Second year pruning
Let the main stem on your grapevines continue to grow during the summer of their second year of growth.
Wait for two of the side branches to produce at least one bunch of grapes before trimming them back to just two leaves beyond the grape bunches.
Cut the main stem on the grapevines back by half when you prune your vines in December. Prune the side shoots on the vines back to two strong, healthy buds.
Follow-on pruning
Prune the flowering side branches on your grapevines back to just two leaves past the flower clusters. Allow only one flowering cluster to develop on each of the side branches if you are growing a dessert grape variety such as Black Hamburgh and Regent. Let wine grape varieties such as Siegerrebe and Chardonnay develop as many flower clusters as possible.
Cut any non-flowering side branches on your grapevines back to only five healthy leaves. Prune the shoots growing from the side branches back to just one leaf.
Allow as many bunches as possible to develop on wine grapevines, but restrict dessert grapevines to just one bunch on each of the side branches. This encourages the vines to focus their energies on producing a sweeter, tastier crop.
Tie your grapevines to their support systems with gardening wire or string, as needed.
Use sharpened and sterilised pruning shears when pruning your grapevines to prevent the spread of plant diseases.

Well, this is what all the fuss was about! After some rather uninspiring Beethoven performances on this same label, Lodia – via Albany Music – gives us this electrifying Brahms' First. Beautifully polished from first note to last and full to the brim with a singing, warm quality, this is ample evidence of Carlos Païta's excellence as one of the great cult conductors.
The National Philharmonic made Stokowski's last Columbia/CBS recordings, and it's the old man's Brahms that comes readily to mind. The music has a kind of effortless flow, especially in the stings, which are stunning. There's passion here; the first movement is relentlessly pushed forward. Where some conductors pull the music about like taffy, Païta is content to let the music speak for itself. The timpani is a bit enthusiastic for my tastes, but the tuttis hit you like a ton of bricks. You'll love it.
The inner movements are breathtaking. The Andante seldom has sounded more lovely, the third movement rarely so bucolic. The National Philharmonic plays with all out commitment and total confidence. The shaky and occasionally crude sounds made by Carlos Païta's own Philharmonic-Society forces are not to be found here. The finale is unquestionably outstanding. Grand, eloquent, and marvelously conducted, the music surges irrepressibly onward. The main tune is warm as sunshine. Are the brass in the same movement a touch vulgar? Probably. I still adore the string playing, and the rest of the music is so gorgeous that I'm prepared to excuse it.
Albany Music has done us a real favor bringing all these Lodia titles back to us. While they have undoubtedly varied in quality – indeed, they are more variable than his cult would have us believe – the fact remains he was a very talented musician in his prime and some of the performances are nothing short of revelatory. Here's one, a truly great performance with great players in great sound. It makes for great Brahms, and everyone should give it a chance.

Flickr needs you to fill up the 1 TB of space it offers for free. What could be quicker than using Flickr's overhauled app for iOS and Android? Significant new features have just been added to the smartphone apps which is the biggest update since Yahoo went for a complete redesign of the Flickr app at the fag end of 2012.
Flickr previously made it easier to take photos and videos from within the app and process them with advanced image enhancement options and Instagram-like filters. The new HD video capturing and editing feature gets the highlight in this round of the update.
You can now record 30 seconds of HD video using the same live filters available with photos. Plus, you get to save your smartphone space by using the new auto-sync feature that backs up original quality photos and videos from the camera roll to your Flickr account. You can optionally keep this switched off.
Flickr has also juiced up the image search. The new search feature is more intelligent as it can scan your photos and detect date, time, and place to organize your photos. The app also recognizes scenes (ex: "car," "sunset," "beach," "portrait") and thus helps with the way you explore through your own photos. The smart organization also should make discovery of photos in the Flickr community that much easier.
You can continue your relationship building by following your favorite photographers and commenting on the best photos you appreciate. You can go into the enhanced information screen for each photo and find out the EXIF information like the camera and lens used to take the photos.
Yes, you get to only log in with a Yahoo ID now, but the app feels a little bit more complete in the latest update. Tell us about it.

Just deleted my Flickr account
From early experience, I'm not keen on the new app at all. I feel Flickr has introduced features I will rarely, if ever, use (if I want to record 30secs of HD video, I'll use the Camera app or YouTube capture), and removed (or buried) existing features I found useful. Auto Sync is not new, but in the new app, the sole option is "on/off" - where is the choice of "sync only with WiFi", that the old app had? Where, too, are all the metadata-editing options for photos (tags, for one)? Maybe the options are still present somewhere, but if so, I now have to go and track them down. I actually thought the previous Flickr app had got a lot right, but now I have to relearn most of it from scratch. Not happy... and before you ask, I'm a paying (Pro) user :-(

She was defenseless, or was she?
Michelle Ann Kane, whose husband, Michael Rodney Kane, has been arrested in her brutal slaying, turned to the law and the law let her down.
It wasn't indifference that did Michelle in, rather inadequacy. Restraining orders only restrain the rational. Tragically for Michelle, Michael Rodney Kane is not rational. Years of alleged drug use and mental illness apparently metastasized to produce a homicidal obsession.
"Go ahead and get a restraining order," he told Michelle, according to the documents she filed in court. "It won't protect you, but it will make you feel better."
And maybe it did for a time. But Michelle Kane knew Michael was serious when he said he would kill her. Over and over again he made the threat, often in graphic terms, she told the court.
The police believed Michelle when she told them her husband was going to kill her. They advised her to hide.
What was she supposed to do, hide forever? And why should the victim have to hide at all?
The horrifying compulsion cooking in Michael Kane's brain erupted in front of the West Hills home of a family friend when Kane — having discovered Michelle's sanctuary — stabbed her to death, according to investigators.
Hiding had failed.
Just as the court order had failed.
Just as the mental health establishment had failed.
Just as the police had failed.
Despite the best intentions and the assistance of family and friends, the world offers no protection from an assassin on intimate terms.
No, that's not true.
There was one thing that might have saved Michelle Kane.
It's not fashionable in these post-Sandy Hook, post-Santa Monica College days, but Michelle might have had a fighting chance if she owned a gun. If anyone needed a concealed weapon permit it was Michelle Ann Kane.
We'll never know. What we do know is unarmed, she stood no chance.
There's an old clich? about bringing "a knife to a gun fight," but Michelle brought a restraining order to a knife fight. It was no contest.
Michelle Ann Kane was told to fend for herself in the absence of effective laws to protect victims of stalkers. She was left to fend for herself but lacked the tools to do so.
I offer this not as criticism of any actions she did or didn't take, or of the courts or police who tried to help. And the point here isn't to toss Michelle's tragic death into the maw of the endless gun-control, Second Amendment debate. Common sense tells us a dangerous obsessive stalker will not be thwarted by the rule of law, only by institutionalization, incarceration or Smith & Wesson.

AMD to drop GPU prices in Australia, include Saints Row 4 with high end cards
AMD are set to drop the prices of their high end graphics cards in Australia, including the HD 7990, HD 7970 and HD 7950. Additionally, they'll be rolling the Orbtastic Saints Row 4 into their "Never settle" program, which essentially means it'll be bundled in with the GPUs above. Prices after the break.
The HD 7990 will now retail for a mere $949, while the 7970 Ghz Edition will set you back $479. A 7970 without an overclock will cost just $419 while the weaker 7950 is down to $319 RRP. Obviously most vendors don't sell at retail anyways, but this drop will probably be reflected in most prices across the country.
If you already own Saints Row 4 but want to pick up one of these games, don't worry, because AMD are now including a generic "Never Settle" code in with these GPUs which can be redeemed as late as December 31st, so if they decide to bundle in a better game by then, you can get that instead of SR4.
Thanks, Games On Net.

TV Land has announced it's pulling reruns of The Dukes of Hazzard from its lineup.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the network's spokesperson did not comment on the official reason for the decision. Just last week, the popular '80s television show was thrust back into the spotlight after Warner Bros. said it would no longer license toys or models of the iconic General Lee car featured in the show. The decision came on the heels of the tragic June shooting in Charleston, S.C., which has driven many to call for the removal of the Confederate flag from public spaces and popular imagery.
SEE ALSO: Warner Bros. Stops Sales of 'Dukes of Hazzard' Toy Car With Confederate Flag
Hazzard star John Schneider shared his anger over the decision with The Hollywood Reporter.
"I am saddened that one angry and misguided individual can cause one of the most beloved television shows in the history of the medium to suddenly be seen in this light. Are people who grew up watching the show now suddenly racists? Will they have to go through a detox and a 12-step program to kick their Dukes habit?"
The star continued.
"Throwing this particular baby out with the bathwater seems reactionary and overly PC to me. If the flag was a symbol of racism, then Bo and Luke and Daisy and Uncle Jesse were a pack of wild racists, and that could not be further from the truth."

The Kerkusha and Other Aspects of Emirati Male Fashion
Who knows about the origins of this tassel (sometimes called a tarbush) that has been likened to a tie, particularly the Texan style bolo (also called bola or bootlace) tie? It appears to have little purpose other than serving as a fashion statement and a linen toy that Emirati men can play with?
Omani men have a similar frill called a furakha and in this statement the writer says it can be impregnated with perfume to give to the wearer and those he meets a pleasant fragrance.
Here are two useful articles by Mariana and Grapeshisha on the garments and fashion features of Emirati men and women.

This article is also posted on the Fujairah in Focus Facebook Page.

It's called a Tarbusha, or Tarbush, NO ONE in the UAE calls it a kerkusha. I doubt it's called that anywhere.

Google the word 'kerkusha'.
It does appear to have several names...Tarbusha...Tarbush...kerkusha...
Thanks for the comment.

Where can I buy a Kerkusha? I put mine in the washing machine and ended up destructing it. :(
PS: I'm from Brazil, so I guess i'd have to buy it on the internet.

They're fairly simple knots really. You take 50 strings of fine thread (25 doubled) and have someone copy the design of a photo. People into mountain climbing, or into sailor knots, or into macramé should be able to help you. The standard design is a really easy lanyard type of knot. Alternative designs are usually easy to copy too for someone with a knot-tying hobby.

Article first published as PlayStation 3 Review: 'Risen 3: Titan Lords' on Blogcritics.
The closest analogy to Piranha Bytes' Risen roleplaying game series are Sam Raimi's Evil Dead films. The movies were low budget, campy affairs that appealed to a fairly small demographic. The same can be said of all of Piranha Bytes RPGs, the Gothic series included. If you only play games from largest publishers, the newly released Risen 3: Titan Lords probably won't spend very long your PlayStation. Fifteen minutes into the game, I was cursing myself for volunteering to review this title. A few hours later, I finally started having some fun with Risen 3, and eventually, I had a hard time putting the controller down.
Starting the game, I hated absolutely everything about Risen 3. My list of complaints was pretty long. The visuals are dated, with muddy textures, limited animations, and the character models leave a lot to be desired. You are also stuck with a single character, whose appearance doesn't match the gravelly pirate voice he speaks with. Despite all of the visual shortcuts the game seems to take, the PlayStation 3 still has trouble keeping up. The framerate is often bad, particularly when starting the game or when Risen 3's autosave kicks in. Speaking of the disc access, the load times are long, and inexplicably, when starting the game, the menu defaults to "New Game," instead of "Continue."
Eventually, I started to get the joke, but that doesn't mean everyone will. As I said before, the character customization options in Risen 3 are pretty limited, particularly in the beginning of the game. As a matter of fact, the game plays more like a broken, pirate themed action/adventure game, than an RPG for the first hour or so. Your hero can perform a standard attack and charged attack with a sword, as well as jump and climb. He can also fire a gun, or throw knives with his off hand. Unfortunately, the inefficiency of the attack animation was so bad I used up all of the bullets for my gun pretty quickly.
The beginning section of Risen 3, is also pretty linear, but looking back, it serves well as an in-context tutorial. Once all of that silliness is over, the real game gets underway. Actually, the silliness never really ends. Basically, the hero dies, and even though a witch doctor revives him, he is still missing his soul. He is also missing his ship and crew. What's a pirate without a boat? Despite a tutorial level, combat with a sword will always be a chore. Risen 3 will let you game the system a bit. You are allowed a companion, and that companion is necessary to keep you alive and when they're not up to the task, you can lure enemies towards other NPCs, who will help you fight too.
While Risen 3 is pretty combat heavy, the meat of the game is questing, and there are seriously a lot of quests. Each of the game's handful of distinct islands offers a mountain of intertwined missions that will have you island hopping and fast travelling, once you are thankfully able. You will eventually choose an alliance with one of three distinct guilds, each offering unique skills, armories and quests. Crystal magic has also returned, allowing you to wield elements such as lightning, fire and ice, or make use of additional magical skills to aid you in exploration. If you can overlook Risen 3's warts, there is a good amount of content.
The narrative that binds Risen 3; Titan Lords together, isn't terribly original or compelling, but once you embrace the cheesiness of it all, it can be a good amount of fun. It's a pretty short list of teams that can pull off a serious pirate themed RPG, and Piranha Bytes knows that isn't them. Who knows, maybe Bioware could. Regardless, it's no small feat that Risen 3: Titan Lords works at all. With all of the handicaps it endures, the fact that there's such a deep and fun RPG in there is remarkable. There's no denying there are serious flaws, some so bad that most won't give Risen 3 a shot, but if a pirate-themed, Euro-RPG is your thing, this is your game.

The 'Powerpuff Girls' Are All New and Coming Back to TV

"Sugar, spice, and everything nice: these were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little girls. But Professor Utonium accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction: Chemical X. Thus, the Powerpuff Girls were born!"
Yeah, we all remember the good old days of watching this show from 1998 to 2005, but Cartoon Network has decided to bring the show back to television, and this is your first look.
Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup are back and slated for a 2016 release. While the animation looks only slightly more refined (thinner outlines, shorter limbs, and a serious cowlick on Buttercup), the voice talent is all new. This week, we got our first introduction to Amanda Leighton, Kristen Li, and Natalie Palamides, who will play the three crime-fighting sisters, respectively. Voice actor Tom Kenny, who originated the characters of the Narrator, the Mayor, and others, will be reprising his roles.
According to Rob Sorcher, the chief content officer at Cartoon Network, "We know that fans of every age will appreciate this new take on saving the world before bedtime."
For old times' sake:

While visiting the fallen land, they stumbeled upon a discovery that at first sight didn't seem like much. They thougt it was just a bucket with something in it. But upon closer investigation, they discovered that the bucket contained some red material, later to be nothing less than real red bricks.
It's at this moment that the Saints discovered the one and only "The Bucket" Their lives would never be the same again.

Never will you be happier to see a bus than when the bus is late.
That's true. Proven by facts. And science. And a lot of first-hand experience, since I kind of enjoy public transport.
Columbia is breaking my heart, though.
These past couple days, I've been taking the bus into downtown and walking to the newsroom. Because school is not currently in session, however, the loop 200 feet from my apartment complex isn't running.
The next closest stop? A mile away.
The first day, I left my house at 6:15 a.m. It was still pretty dark out, and pretty cold, but I was wearing layers, gloves, a hat and wool socks. I wasn't too worried about the cold, and knew I would be at the bus in no time.
Turns out I had underestimated the city on what they had done in wake of the Polar Vortex.
Columbia, for whatever reason, doesn't know how to function in the snow. It never really made sense to me: Is the city surprised that there are winter storms? We're in the Midwest! Of course it snows here! I'm from Texas and I know that! Why are we always completely thrown for a loop and unable to handle less than six inches of snow?
If I wanted to try my luck walking on the street, I had to brave an ice-coated shoulder, covered with a light dusting of snow. The road conditions still weren't awesome, and I didn't entirely trust the early morning drivers, so I trudged through the snow. The city has shoveled snow, icy and slush off Grindstone Parkway and up onto the sidewalk, more than a foot high in some places. My boots were soaked through to my socks. I tripped and almost face-planted at least once. I was frustrated and unhappy and cold.
I had to cross over the highway using a very narrow shoulder that was half covered with plowed snow and ice. Terrifying, to say the least.
The next day, I left my house at 7:50 a.m. I wore my rain boots and packed a nicer pair of shoes for the newsroom. Since it was lighter out, I could more safely walk on the shoulder of the road. It was icy, but it wasn't snow halfway to my knee. I made much better time, and I didn't feel like crying, so that's a plus. The bus was 20 minutes late, most likely due to a combination of morning rush hour and the snowy conditions, but I would rather be waiting at a bus stop than hiking through snow banks.
There are two things I would like to mention about my bus adventures. Firstly, never underestimate the power of a pair of muck boots. Secondly, Columbia needs to get itself together.
What about the residents who can't make that hike? If they live further, or they have kids with them, or they have a bunch of groceries? What if they aren't as able bodied and can't navigate a narrow, icy shoulder of a highway?
One of the other passengers on my bus Thursday morning was in a wheelchair. He had to make a transfer, but couldn't get off at his normal stop because the sidewalks and ramps were neither scooped nor salted. I watched, mesmerized, as our driver coordinated with the driver of the man's next bus. Both buses pulled into a side street at a t-stop so the man could use the ramps on both buses in the safety of a plowed street. It worked out just fine, but I couldn't help but wonder what the man, or other passengers, did when conditions were less than ideal.
I like public transportation. I really do. The DART system in Dallas has received many a dollar from my wallet, and I've taken it from the stop around the corner from my house into the downtown shopping district and even all the way to the Dallas Zoo. If I can go to the zoo on Dollar Tuesdays and take the DART down and back, all for less than $5, that seems like a good deal to me.
I think the reason I am able to enjoy buses and trains, though, is because they're accessible to me. I don't have to worry about ramps or ice or huge puddles or anything getting in my way. It might not be enjoyable to trek through snow drifts, but I can do it. Even a winter storm can't stop me from making it a mile to the bus stop.
But not everyone can just pull on boots and hike a mile. Assuming so is ableist and exclusive.
Downtown sidewalks are manageable and mostly clear. Most campus sidewalks are shoveled by campus facilities employees and student staff members. It takes time, effort and money, but people can walk to Starbucks and Shake's without snow shoes or cross-country skis.
This is my plea for the City of Columbia to salt its residential sidewalks. Contrary to popular belief, there are still students who live in the dozens of apartment complexes all over the city, even when school is not in session. We need a way to get to the bus, get to the store. Students are told nearly every day by most faculty members to push ourselves out of the "campus bubble."
It's hard to do that when everything outside that bubble is covered in a foot of dirty, icy snow.
Author's Note: After I published this post, my good friend and co-worker Elise texted me to ask if I was writing a story on the topic of Columbia's sidewalks and snow procedures. I was inspired, and have started to look into the topic as a story for the Missourian. Just wanted to let y'all know that the post came first and sparked a deeper, broader look into how people get around in the snow, rather than just me getting pissed that my feet were wet when I got to work (as true as that might be). Keep an eye out for updates!

Some state transportation managers have done a poor job tracking their inventories of road salt, leading to the possibility of theft, a watchdog report concluded yesterday.
Some state transportation managers have done a poor job tracking their inventories of road salt, leading to the possibility of theft, a watchdog report concluded yesterday.
A manager of the Ohio Department of Transportation garage in Jefferson County routinely altered records to misrepresent the amount of salt, sand and other road materials on hand, according to the report by Inspector General Thomas P. Charles' office.
Scott Jenkins, a $51,000-a-year manager at the garage in Wintersville, changed entries on daily work reports to reconcile differences between visual estimates and physical inventories of salt and other materials, the inspector general said.
Jenkins, who could not be reached yesterday, did not personally profit from the misrepresentations, the watchdog report concluded.
"When ODOT supervisors in one county garage cannot account for 4,493 tons of salt, the public cannot feel confident that he has any idea how much of the unaccounted-for salt might have been skimmed under his watch," the report said.
Jenkins' practices revealed a larger flaw in how the state transportation agency oversees its stockpiles of road materials at garages scattered across Ohio, the inspector general said.
While Charles' report did not recommend discipline against Jenkins or other transportation officials, it did instruct the agency to develop more uniform practices for monitoring materials inventories.
"Ultimately, what this report calls for is some standardization in how we measure how much salt we have and how much salt we use," said Scott Varner, a spokesman for the Ohio Department of Transportation. "We will be following up on the recommendations."
The watchdog report also found that the chairman of the Jefferson County Democratic Party was involved in hiring at least two employees of the transportation garage in Wintersville.
The state transportation agency has a history of "cronyism" that it needs to guard against, Charles' report said.

|35 Years
|Problem Areas
|Relieve Stress Headaches, Think More Clearly, Reading, Vision, Math Comprehension, Poor Social Skills
|Finished Program
|May 2013
Damon & his wife and 3 children were about to move out of Hampshire to Canada. Plus there was another addition to the family, due to arrive soon. All great news, but the headaches that Damon was experiencing would cause his mind to blank off, if it couldn't cope with the thinking.
Background: Damon had never actually been diagnosed with dyslexia, however it was clear he had an eye problem, that was making thinking and reading difficult for him. It was suggested that we try the treatment. We had a big move in front of us, emigration to another country and a 4th baby on the way and we knew we'd need every inch of our minds to cope with everything this entailed! Others who had done the move thought we needed the treatment to be able to cope. We really wanted to relieve the stress headaches and be able to think more clearly.
Initially we thought that the cost of the treatment was expensive, however the benefits are lifelong.
We had to really concentrate on doing the homework, because we were so busy at the time, selling our house, keeping the kids going at school, filling out paperwork, last minute family get-togethers etc. But doing the exercises made Damon feel so much better and clearer in this thinking that it really was not a chore. He found he went backwards if he didn't keep up with the homework.
Areas Improved So Far: We started seeing improvements during the treatment, after about 3 or 4 sessions. Also doing the eye exercises can take away the strain in minutes. Damon feels that the treatment reduces the stress within yourself and for those around you. He has kept up some of the eye exercises because he has found they really help. We have also seen improvements with his reading, writing, confidence and concentration. Plus he is much more aware of what is going on around him, and find it helps him to get more socially involved. He is generally more alert and says it makes life a lot easier. The optician has commented that he has "exceptional eyeball range" which we think is due to the eye muscles being loosened up and strengthened through the eye exercises.
We all notice that he enjoys socialising more now, he joins in and doesn't blank off like he used to and is able to take in conversations and pay attention to what people are saying much more and respond, which is much nicer for the rest of the family! That in itself gives him more confidence, and if he gets stress headaches, he knows doing the eye exercises pretty much take it away, and daily stresses of a job are much better managed.

Self Woodworking For Home
Woodworking your own furniture at home is one of the greatest ways to use your time and skill creatively. Woodworking basically means repairing your furniture or modifying home furniture. It includes carving, designing, setting up your furniture artistically and much more. It is also a little-known fact that woodworking doesn't require any huge garage or wide space. It can be done even in apartments or medium-sized places.
Woodworking doesn't always require high levels of experience. If you have your tools and know your stuff, woodworking is an easy activity. Of course, you can't expect to be building masterworks in a day. You need to start off with something on a smaller range and then make your way up to the difficult and more complex designs.
Woodworking, however, requires the correct tools and knowledge for it to be done effectively and efficiently. Here are some of the Saws that are used in woodworking that can simplify your work and make it easier-
- Table saws are one of the most important tools that are required while woodworking. If it is portable, it's even better. Table saws are used to cut large and lengthy pieces of plywood and are also used for sawing wood. These help in crosscutting and dividing big chunks of wood.
- Miter Saws along with Circular and Track Saws are also very helpful in their own ways. Miter saws provide angled crosscutting whereas Circular saws can accurately and precisely cut and rip wood pieces.
- Another very important tool is the Scroll Saw. This saw helps in cutting designs on your wood just as you would like it. It's extra thin and sharp blades make it very useful. While buying one, make sure it is the best scroll saw in 2017.
So enjoy your woodworking experiences at home and make sure to use sawdust control and cleanup for a clean work environment.

Tenant of Apt 1R on 04/02/2012
While it's true that there are bed-bugs in 1R the landlord HAS responded and there is an exterminator coming regularly. The post below is incorrect.

1R has bed bugs....landlord ignores the requests for extermination.
Anonymous on 01/07/2011
This building has had bed bugs since AT LEAST 2007, when I first reported an infestation on the top floor.
The landlord has known about the infestation, and despite numerous attempts to let him know the severity of the out break (every single floor had isues because I went around the building asking people if they were getting bit and they said yes) he only sent a man with a small spray can to do the entire house.
The infestation in the building his really bad. I was getting upwards of 2
5 bites a night.
Anonymous on 03/24/2009
I had been getting bites on my legs for months - but couldn't find any bugs or traces. Then this last week I started finding at least 5-10 bugs per day - on the mattress, on my sheets, on my pillows, on the bed frame. The landlord is being helpful and arranging a pest control guy to come in and spray our bed.

When Bassim Hamadeh was a student at the University of California, San Diego, he experienced firsthand the challenge of procuring the right textbooks for his classes. "They were high-priced, poor quality custom textbooks," Hamadeh says. So he started planning a business that would make it easier for professors to create and publish high-quality custom texts, and provide those materials to students at an affordable price. Since its launch in 1992, Hamadeh has been running UniversityReaders on open source software.
College textbooks are big business for book publishers and sometimes, much to the dismay of students, for professors. Often, what students end up with is an expensive mish-mash of "required" documents, study guides, and CDs that often go unused. To add to the chaos, professors often make poor quality copies of textbooks that violate the copyrights of the original authors and publishing companies. As a freshman at UCSD, Hamadeh was so frustrated by his experience purchasing the required texts for his classes that he was motivated to launch UniversityReaders while he was still a student. At first, the company was strictly bricks and mortar, but as the World Wide Web evolved to allow ecommerce applications, Hamadeh was quick to evolve his business too.
He's been a fan of Linux since the beginning, when his IT manager, Sean Nakamura, suggested it. Later, when UniversityReaders went online, and Hamadeh was looking for a reasonably-priced customer relationship management application, his IT manager highly recommended open source software. "We were looking in particular for a CRM solution for our sales team," Hamadeh says. "We had just launched the inside sales group and were looking to launch an outside sales team. One option was GoldMine, but we wanted to be able to access the information online, and we needed an easy installation. Microsoft was also grossly expensive." They found SugarCRM about three years ago, and Hamadeh says he loves it so much he's now a big fan of open code. "When we first started, absolutely, [IT manager Nakamura] pushed Sugar. It's interesting what happened. Our IT manager got us onto it, but now I'm the advocate for open source. If we have an issue or problem, the first thing we ask is, what open source solutions exist?"
SugarCRM's community version used to be licensed with its own SugarCRM Public License, a non-OSI-approved license modeled after the Mozilla Public License, except that it includee a clause requiring those who use the code to provide proscribed attribution to Sugar. Now, it is licensed with the GPLv3. At first Hamadeh used the free version of SugarCRM, but has since adopted the commercial, proprietary version -- which includes technical support.
Now that Hamadeh can afford the paid version of SugarCRM, he has realized other benefits from having access to the source code. "With open source, you can manipulate the software. That kind of integration makes our life easier. You can customize it and it's not going to cost you an arm and a leg." Hamadeh has appreciated the growth of open source over the last ten years. "These are products that are becoming better. And you're not limited to the engineering talent of a small team. It's a collective good thing."
Hamadeh cautions Internet entrepreneurs using open source against what he calls overcustomization. "Have you thought carefully about implementation and the customization you're going to make? It is so easy to customize, that you may overcustomize, and ultimately you're not following your business processes." Hamadeh says choosing to build a business on open source is a "no-brainer. You should look at open source solutions first before you get caught up into some sophisticated sales pitch."

Tech Disconnect: I'm Banishing My Phone from My Bedside
Like a lot of people, I keep my cell phone on my nightstand. It's my alarm clock and, too many nights and mornings, a source of distraction. For months I've thought to myself that I should make a change. Well, internet friends, I'm finally going to do it.
I've found myself getting into a pattern where I'll spend anywhere between five and 45 minutes before bed on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest (often the latter). When I wake up lately, I'll turn off my phone alarm and pass a few minutes on one of those apps.
The bottom line is that I want to reclaim that time, because I already spend plenty of my day online. I have a real alarm clock that's very cute, and soon enough I'll settle on a new spot for my iPhone to overnight.
What do you think? Would you consider banning your phone from the bedside?

Yes, many Kutztown University yearbooks of recent decades are shelved in the library's Main Collection. This record from our online catalog shows the years and their call numbers.
Older editions of Keystonia, and its predecessor The Calliope, are not on the main shelves but instead housed in the Archives room. The yearbooks of 1911 through 1926 are also available on microfilm, as shown here.
Should you need access to copies in the archives, please get in touch with Susan Czerny who is the University Archivist. Her phone number is 610-683-4174; email, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you for your question.

James Tate Biography
(1943– ), The Lost Pilot, The Oblivion Ha-Ha, Hints to Pilgrims, Absences, Hottentot Ossuary
volumes poets born american
American poet, born in Kansas City, Kansas, educated at the University of lowa. Tate won the Yale Younger Poets competition whilst still a student at the Iowa Writers' Workshop and he was quickly recognized as one of the most inventive, and prolific, of that younger generation of American poets born towards the end of the Second World War. His early volumes of verse, The Lost Pilot (1967) and The Oblivion Ha-Ha (1970), reveal an essentially comic and frequently sardonic voice within structures that are loosely surrealistic, but later poems seem tempered by a more mature, contemplative intelligence. His other volumes include Hints to Pilgrims (1971), Absences (1972), Hottentot Ossuary (1974), Viper Jazz (1976), Riven Doggeries (1979), Constant Defender (1983), Reckoner (1986), and Distance From Loved Ones (1990). In 1970 he took up a teaching post at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

November 26, 2012 09:00 ET
OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 26, 2012) - The Honourable John Duncan, Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development, today presented to the Honourable Andrew Scheer, Speaker of the House of Commons, a stained glass window commemorating the legacy of Indian Residential Schools. This stained glass window, designed by renowned Métis artist Christi Belcourt, is permanently installed in Centre Block on Parliament Hill.
"In 2008, on behalf all Canadians, Prime Minister Stephen Harper offered a formal Apology to former students of Indian Residential Schools, their families and communities that acknowledged the impacts of those schools," stated Minister Duncan. "Today we continue on the path of reconciliation as we dedicate this new stained glass window. The window is a visible reminder of the legacy of Indian Residential Schools; it is also a window to a future founded on reconciliation and respect."
Speaker Scheer noted, "I am honoured to accept this gift, on behalf of all Canadians, as the knowledge of our shared history is an important basis for a new relationship with Aboriginal people. I encourage everyone who walks the halls of Canada's Parliament to learn more about the history of Indian Residential Schools and Canada's reconciliation efforts".
On June 11, 2012, the fourth anniversary of the Prime Minister's Apology, Minister Duncan unveiled the artwork of Christi Belcourt, which was unanimously selected by a committee of Aboriginal art experts and former students of Indian Residential Schools, to be translated into stained glass and installed permanently in Parliament. Since that time, Ms. Belcourt has worked in close collaboration with Vision Art Glass Studio on the translation of her design into a stained glass window, which is visible directly above the Members' Entrance to the House of Commons.

East Palatka
Putnam County, Florida
Originally an unincorporated town on the east bank of the
St. Johns River
, one mile from
. It was originally known
as President City.
In 1895 it was stated that East Palatka "has always been considered a part of Palatka, although not inside of the city
limits." In 1895 it contained a number of orange groves and fine residences with a sawmill being erected.
In 1928 there was a large lumber plant and several manufacturing industries. In 1928 Mrs. Lena L. Hatch was
postmistress and A. L. Hatch was a mail carrier.
Colonel Hart
(Edward King,
The Great South
, 1875)
JUST across the river from Palatka lies the beautiful orange grove owned by Colonel Hart, in which seven hundred
trees, some forty years old, annually bear an enormous crop of the golden fruit, and yield their owner an income of
$12,000 or $15,000. The trees bear from twelve to twenty-five hundred oranges each; some have been known to bear
four or five thousand. The orchard requires the care of only three men, an overseer and two negroes. The myriads of
fish to be caught at any time in the river furnish material for compost heaps, with which the land is annually enriched. At
the gateway of this superb orchard stand several grand bananas; entering the cool shade--some resplendent
December day--one finds the negroes gathering the fruit into bags strapped at their sides, and bearing it away to
storehouses where it is carefully packed for the steamers which are to bear it North. On the sand from which the hardy
trunks of the orange spring there is a splendid checker-work of light and shade, and one catches through the interstices
occasional glimpses of the broad river current. In an adjacent nursery, a hundred thousand young orange-trees await
transplanting and "budding." The property is becoming exceedingly good, yearly rising in value. Colonel Hart thinks his
grove is worth at least $75,000 The property is becoming exceedingly good, yearly rising in value. Colonel Hart thinks
his grove is worth at least $75,000

6. Sweet Potato – The Mayans actually used sweet potatoes in the dishes when they ran out of corn. Plus, they taste great with a variety of Mexican spices. Yum! Try Lime Cilantro Sweet Potatoes.
7. Mango - One of the most popular Mexican fruits is a mango. It's juicy and delicious, and it has the perfect sweetness for any salsa. Try Fruity Lime-Mango Salsa.
8. Pineapple - While pineapples do taste great in margaritas, there are tons of ways to eat it too. Try with fish fajitas, in a dip or in a Mexican-style salad. Try Pineapple-Jalapeno Salad.
9. Papaya - Mexican cuisine is filled with meat dishes, and a papaya can make a delicious marinade for that meal. You can also try it in a salsa or a sweet dessert. Try Ahi Tuna Fajitas.
10. Hot Peppers - When most people think of Mexican cuisine, the word spicy comes to mind. And that means lots and lots peppers, such as jalapenos, habaneros and chilis. Try Bean-Stuffed Jalapenos.

Ambrose Evans–Pritchard Beats About the Bush
To argue with Ambrose Evans-Pritchard is risky. He is well-informed, he has travelled much, writes well and has a sharp intellect. Yet, I must affirm that he is mistaken in some of the opinions expressed in his recent article at "The Telegraph" www.telegraph.co.uk "A new Gold Standard is being born" January 17, 2013.
In the article he refers to the "(old) Gold Standard dynamic at work with all its destructive power, and the risk of sudden ruptures always present."
I take it that he refers to the pre-WW I Gold Standard, and the financial chaos that broke out in 1930, to which he refers as "the destructive power" of the Gold Standard. That chaos should not be attributed to the Gold Standard as it existed, but to the previous expansion of credit in violation of the rules of the Gold Standard. The pain of the 1930's was the correction which the Gold Standard imposed upon the financial diddling with credit expansion which the Powers had adopted; what was "destructive" was their policy of credit expansion beyond savings. If you stick your finger in the fire, don't blame fire for its "destructive power"; just refrain from doing that.

Hi there!!
Super quick post, as I have a million things yet to do tonight.
Today is the PTI Blog Hop! We were challenged to create something using this photo:
Super quick post, as I have a million things yet to do tonight.
Today is the PTI Blog Hop! We were challenged to create something using this photo:
My mom's 50th birthday is a week from tomorrow, and so I decided to make her a birthday card. I bought the Simply Jane set in anticipation of this very occasion. My mom absolutely adores Jane Austen, so I thought it only appropriate to use the Simply Jane set for her birthday card. I really love the stripes in the picture, but as I don't have a stripe stamp set, and PTI hasn't come out with Lemon Tart pattern paper, I had to use my Aqua Mist pattern paper instead. I embossed the frame with clear embossing powder, created a little background of the accent roses and the single dot from BB: Polka Dots, and I called it quits.
I used the "Happy Birthday" sentiment from the Simply Jane set, but did some masking to leave off the actual "Happy Birthday" portion. I prefer to leave this to the inside, because I think it just doesn't make sense to have Happy Birthday written twice....
It's simple, but effective. I am utterly in love with this color combination... which is a good thing, considering my brother-in-law's wedding (which is less than two weeks away) are these same colors, and I've been asked to make several projects for them, including the CARDS banner pictured at the very top of the post. I'm in the process of making a last name banner for them, of which I will post pictures when it's finished.
Thanks for visiting!! :)
Supplies used (all PTI unless otherwise noted):
Lemon Tart, Aqua Mist, Aqua Mist stripe paper
Hawaiian Shores, Dark Chocolate ink
Simply Jane stamps and dies
Think Big Favorites (Happy Birthday set)
Mat Stack 2
Essential Glue Pad
Ranger clear embossing powder
Sakura Stardust Gelly Roll pens

text: People Will Lose Weight for Just $20 a Month Financial incentives boosted success rate in weight-loss study By Mark Russell, Newser Staff Posted Mar 8, 2013 1:50 PM CST 20 comments Comments A Mayo Clinic study shows that financial incentives can help people lose weight. (Shutterstock) (Newser) – Having a hard time losing weight? Cold hard cash could help. The results of a new study by the Mayo Clinic show that people did a better job of losing weight when they were paid to do so, reports Science World Report. The Mayo Clinic notes that while the finding isn't new, its study tracked more participants over a longer period of time (100 people over a year). The subjects had a BMI of 30 to 39.9, putting them in the obese category. They were divided into incentive and no-incentive groups, then asked to lose four pounds a month—those in the incentive groups were paid $20 per month for meeting that goal; the "incentived" ones who didn't had to pay a $20 penalty. For people in the incentive groups, 62% achieved the monthly goal, while only 26% of participants in the incentive-free groups did. Overall, those in the incentive groups lost an average of 9.08 pounds, while the non-incentive groups' average was 2.34 pounds. And even those who paid the penalty were more likely to stick with the study than those with no incentive. "The take-home message is that sustained weight loss can be achieved by financial incentives," says the lead researcher. "The financial incentives can improve results, and improve compliance and adherence."

So, did Silent Hill: Downpour, conjure the perfect storm or was it simply a wash-out?

Say ahhhhh.....
It's Monday. But instead of the Monday blues, on this particular evening I'm wired with a Monday buzz. Because me and mah homies are at our first Burger Monday.
Well. Just a wee representation of my homies. Mostly because the ridiculously popular event sold faster than I could fight through the excruciatingly frustrating Paypal interface to book my spots.
Breathe. Happy thoughts. Hamburger thoughts.
Burger Monday is an eat and meet party, hosted by Daniel Young of Young and Foodish. As I understand it, he usually organises a sizeable reservation at the best burger and pizza establishments in London, and sometimes New York. His guests / customers enjoy the fruits of his foodie research, and maybe make a few friends in the process.
This year he's tweaking his format -- bringing top chefs and purveyors to a laid back location, to test the gourmet limits of these well known and well loved fast food items.
Starting with a bang, last Monday (24 Jan) his line up at Andrews Restaurant on Grays Inn Road consisted of The Young Turks: Ben Greeno (Tudor Road; alum of NOMA and Sat Bains); James Lowe (St Johns Bread and Wine; alum of Fat Duck); and Isaac McHale (alum of The Ledbury and Tom Aikens). Supplying the beef for the evening -- a private reserve blend of 100% Perthshire Black Angus -- was Darragh O'Shea of O'Shea's Butchers.
The diner is buzzing when we get there, and it's not from the flourescent lights!
The effervescent Mr Young is the one in the red shirt. As you can see from the abundance of cameras pointed at food, I am in good food geek company for the evening.
Here's Ben Greeno plating up the starter: "Lox on Toast" -- house-cured salmon, pumpernickel bread, pickled kohlrabi and a smudge of horseradishy mousse.
I'm a confessed fan of Ben Greeno's raw mackeral starter, and am delighted that I can now add salmon to that list.
Maybe it's just me, but the proximity of Marmite and candy bars somehow just brought the elegance of the finished lox dish into sharper focus.
Given there were 4 generous slices, I ate 2 slices sashimi style and with the other 2 made myself a little open-face sandwich.
Note to self: Get more kohlrabi onto the dinner table. I'd first started eating these in earnest while in Bangalore and then Hanoi last year, and missed them after Babs and I left Asia. But given kohlrabi means "German turnip", they've got to be findable not too far from London, no?
At this point I would like to officially say a big thank you to the event's waitstaff. Whom despite very cosy quarters and very hungry diners and very heavy plates were infinitely patient with me while I got underfoot around the counter, trying to get some kitchen action shots.
Here's James Lowe salting the burgers and manning the grill. I'm guessing he used coarse salt while shaping the patties as well -- they had brilliant little pockets of extra savouriness, which had me puzzling for a few minutes about whether they had added bone marrow or minced bacon into the blend.
Dress with lettuce, onion shavings, a very light ketchup, mayo and homemade pickles, and hold together with a pillowy toasted bap.
I love it that the burger can barely fit in the frame.
If I've observed right, the burgers are grilled to just under medium rare, then the ogleshield cheese is slapped on, the the cheesed up patties are put in the oven for some top-down melty-magic heat. Clever. Combining melty cheese and a still medium rare burger is always a bit tricky for me if I'm grilling outside. If the heat has worked its way upwards through the patty to melt the cheese, it usually means it's not as pink as I would like inside. Some burger purists might consider using an indoor oven cheating, but hell! Melty ogleshield on a pretty pink patty is definitely a case of the ends justifying the means.
Put it all together and it's a gorgeous and soon very primal messy work of art.
And the fries! I didn't get a good photo of them, but they were very golden and very crispy. Triplecooked in beef fat, I'm guessing?
The dessert for the evening is "hot chocolate sundae" -- affrogato al cioccolato. If Mickey D's hot fudge sundae had a posh boarding school plum-in-the-mouth cousin, I think this would be it. Its sweet notes are much more smooth and subtle. The garish chemical sugars of the fast food rendition tastes like how Mimi from the Drew Carey show looks, by comparison.
I'm really regretting now not holding back a few fries to dip into the the ice-cream -- the way i used to eat them at Mickey D's as a teenager. Don't knock it till you try it!
To summarise, all 3 dishes and the wine (a 2009 Santa Cristina from Tuscany) were soooooooperb. I am immensely curious to see how Daniel Young and his future collaborators are going to top this burger.
If there's anything that would take the evening to the next level for me, however, it would be to do a milkshake pairing with the burger (very much missed this evening). There's no reason these milkshakes have to be PG-version only, mind you. I'd love for some young pastry chef genius to come up with alternatives to a very memorable Jack Daniels & peanut butter milkshake from Cape Town's Royale Eatery.
Last but not least, a bonus to the delicious evening was to finally meet and chat with a few London food bloggers I'd been reading for some time. Dino of The Epicurean, Eu Wen of A Rather Unusual Chinaman, Niamh of Eat Like a Girl, Chris of Cheese and Biscuits, twas a real pleasure, and I hope to see you all again soon!
See Young and Foodish for future events. And thank you for putting together such a fun evening!

Jobi Pottery, the artisan store in Truro with a history that reaches back into the early 1950s, got its name as a contraction of "Joe" and "Bill," the two men who created it and went on to become fun-loving fixtures in Truro and lifelong contributors to the community they called home.
On Sept. 27, 2017, Joseph A. Colliano, the Joe of Jobi, died at the age of 91. He had been living at the Windsor Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in South Yarmouth, and was predeceased by his life partner, Willis C. "Bill" Hastings, in 2002. To many of their friends, admirers and customers, Joe's passing recalls a beloved and bygone era on the Outer Cape.
"The year was 1952," Joe said in an interview in 2003. "Bill Hastings and I came to Cape Cod for a vacation. Bill remembered this old hotel near the lighthouse… which had rooms for $3 a night."
The old hotel was the Highland House in Truro, and the lighthouse, Highland Lighthouse; Joe and his "friend," Bill, came to Truro for the summer and fell in love with the Cape. They returned for good in 1953 to work as bartenders and entertainers for Hal and Estelle Conklin, who owned the Highland House Hotel. They hauled Bill's Hammond organ to the Highland House and Joe played piano. They also brought with them some pottery to sell in the little hot dog shack by the Highland Lighthouse. All the pottery sold out that first summer.
Truro was much less built up back then. "It was a place you could come to and feel comfortable," Del Filardi, a friend of Joe and Bill's, says. "Everyone got along and could be themselves. Nobody cared if you were gay, or what you were."
In 1953 and '54 Joe and Bill focused on building out a new Jobi shop next to the lighthouse and started making their own ceramic molds from bottles and clam shells, hand-decorating the slip-cast pottery with their signature little black minnows, blueberries, sandpipers, whales and lighthouses. By 1956 it was impossible to keep up with the demand for pottery and continue as nighttime employees at the bar. Jobi Pottery had become a full-time business.
"I first met Joe and Bill in 1959 on my first of many family vacations to Truro," Diane Grebert Loental wrote upon learning of Joe's death on social media. "As an 11-year-old child, I couldn't afford much. But I loved the shop and its ambiance. And the cats!"
In the early 1960s, the Cape Cod National Seashore bought the Highland House Hotel and adjacent land and buildings from the Conklins, and Joe and Bill ended up running the hotel themselves from 1964 to 1969. There are many who remember all the musical acts they brought in to perform at the bar, or enjoyed family-style dinners and the friendly atmosphere.
"Listened many nights down at the Highland House to the organ music," Michele Puzo recalls on social media. "A part of Truro history now."
The Highland House building was slated to be demolished, but a vigorous letter-writing campaign and negotiations by Joe and others helped to preserve it. It became the Highland House Museum, home to the Truro Historical Society's collection of artifacts.
Once the museum was created, Joe and Bill moved Jobi Pottery from the Highland area to nearby Moses Way, where they ran the shop a few more years. Then they sold the business to their friends Lee and Elizabeth Locke and built a house on land they owned on North Union Field Road in Truro. In 1977 they rescued a magnificent 1,000-pipe Wurlitzer organ from a former silent movie theater in Westbury, Conn., and installed it in their house, which had an enormous living room. With Bill on the organ and Joe on the piano, they held concerts there, with reserved seating for 40 people. Tickets were $3. The concerts were benefits for the Historical Society and other local organizations, and they often sold out.
Joe and Bill were awarded the Distinguished Citizens Award in 1991 by the Truro Neighborhood Association and their names were added to a permanent plaque in Truro Town Hall. The house that Joe and Bill built was recently renovated and sold to Ellery Althaus and Claire Adams, owners of Salty Market.
"Rest in peace, Joe," Lucy Dearborn wrote on social media on hearing of his death. "Thanks for making art that is part of my family's history."
Next summer, Joe Colliano will become part of the ongoing Living Legacy photography project at the Highland House Museum, and Jobi Pottery will be part of an exhibit at the museum about the Highland House Hotel. The store and gallery, now at 314 Route 6, will celebrate 65 years in Truro in 2018. Joe and Bill's legacy lives on.
Editor's note: Susan Kurtzman is the current owner of Jobi Pottery.

Phil Franklin graduated in 2007 with a BEng (Hons) in Motorsports Operations.
Phil joined the Motorsports Operations course at UCLan as he had always aspired to work in an operational role within Motorsport as a team manager, strategist or working on the pit wall or 'prat perch'.
From his course, Phil learnt competition car preparation and the fundamentals of engineering. During his second year, he worked for a Porsche Carreras cup team and also a Formula Renault UK team to learn car mechanics. In Phil's spare time, he worked alongside placement students at Juno Racing, learning the skills of machining and fabricating parts from scratch.
He said: "From the start we were immersed in direct motorsport experience with the University Formula Ford team, which taught us car preparation, logistics and the basics of how race teams operate.
"By the time I graduated from UCLan I had three years motorsport experience, which helped me get a racing job once I finished. In comparison, a lot of my peers at other universities had no real-life experience of motorsport or cars."
Since graduating, Phil continued as a mechanic within Formula Ford, Formula BMW and German F3. He then got the chance to join Formula Palmer Audi where he was in charge of running his own car, which allowed him to build his skills even further.
After two years, Phil joined Formula Two as a Storesman, which greatly improved his prospects of working in an operational role within a large motorsport company. He then joined Ginetta Race cars as the Stores Manager, where he was in charge of five storesmen and running their two parts truck 18 races a year. Phil currently works as a Deputy Stores Manager and Parts Controller at the prestigious McLaren GT based in the old Formula One facility. He is responsible for customer liaison and goes to all the large European races offering technical and parts support.
"Without learning the basics and getting the chance to start my motorsport experience at UCLan, I do not think my career would have taken off as it has."
