My daylilies have yellow leaves with brown spots. These leave then turn brown and die. Can I spray them with something? I perfer to use homemade remedies when I can.

My daylilies leaves turn brown if I get water on their leaves I only water the ground they are growing in. I think when there is water on the leaves the sun burns them.
Also overwatering can do that too.
I just planted several day lilies in 18" pots, watered them well but now they are turning yellow and some have turned brown. The weather here is extremely hot so I leave them in morning sun only and then place them in a shadier area when the sun is at it's hottest. What am I doing wrong. :o( I don't want them to die. Am I over watering them? If so, will they not recover from that? Please help!

Health Benefits
We spend a third of our lives in bed, children even more. It makes sense to spend that time in safe and healthy surroundings that promote restful sleep. So how do Arellemerino blankets provide this ideal environment?
Merino wool is naturally breathable and absorbs water vapour. The most obvious effect of this is temperature control. You will be warm in winter and cool in summer—yes really! Meanwhile perspiration is absorbed by the fibres. With temperature and humidity stabilised you will experience deeper, less disturbed sleep and you will wake up refreshed.
Reworking merino wool into a fleecy texture makes the best use of the resilience of the fibres. Air can circulate around your body. The texture of our mattress topper provides support and aids circulation. Pure wool mattress toppers and underblankets have been used in German hospitals for years because they help to regulate temperature and ease aches and pains including those due to rheumatism and arthritis.
Merino wool controls the build up of dust mites and other undesirables that can affect allergies. This property keeps your blanket feeling and smelling fresh for a long time. It also helps with the cleaning as usually airing or even vacuuming will do the job. As Arellemerino blankets are easier to clean than a duvet you can ensure that all your family sleep in healthy surroundings.
You may choose an Arellemerino blanket that contains other natural fibres such as cashmere or camel hair. These other fibres have their own qualities. Cashmere adds softness, camel hair adds smoothness and resilience. We add sufficient to benefit from them without affecting the health benefits obtained from merino wool and without making your Arellemerino blanket unnecessarily expensive.

Healthy eating habits may start in the womb
A new study has found that a baby's eating habits can be shaped by what their mother eats whilst pregnant and in the first few months of life. Babies were able to detect the smell of foods that had been eaten by their mother whilst in the womb.

A Solon Salute to all of the MHS learning community for a very successful 9th annual Fall Harvest Celebration.
- This unique day was made possible by the leadership of the Fall Harvest Celebration Committee (led by Mr. Sabo), and by too many others to name. The day was an outstanding example of community collaboration, student responsibility, and teamwork. As a school, we planted over 1300 trees in one morning. The shared meal was fantastic and the performances raise the bar each year. Special thanks to our community partners in planting the trees to help create a riparian buffer on the Dog River--MadDog Chapter of Trout Unlimited, and the Friends of the Winooski River. Thanks also to the MHS Boosters, Food, Farm, and Society Students, Montpelier Food Service, Student Council, Center for Sustainable Systems, Clark Amadon, Michele Braun, George Gross, Nate Rogers, Mimi Kulp, Joseph Kiefer, Tyler Strange, Danny Sagan, Vermont Sound & Light, and the Swingin' Over 60 Jazz Band.

Charming cottage in a quiet, wooded setting.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Ashintully cottage. The cottage was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and cozy.
The 2 updated bathrooms are a nice touch as well. The kitchen, while quite minimal served our purpose however, if you plan took major meals and require specific equipment that could be frustrating. We were a bit worried that it might not be warm enough but the heat worked great and it was very cozy. The location was good for us as we wanted to be close to Butternut Ski Resort which was about 20 minutes away. We ate several times in the town of Lee and had very good food each time. I highly recommend staying at Jennifer's cottage and would not hesitate to stay there again.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the cottage. You were my first winter renters - usually the cottage is closed for winter, but I may keep it open in future. The kitchen is undergoing a few improvements before next summer, but will ultimately still remain a simple and basic one. There is an outdoor grill available for the warm season.
Girls weekend
Loved the location of this very cute cottage in this scenic town. Plenty of space for us for the weekend. Ashintully Gardens was directly across the street and we took a walk through the property--what a view when you get up to where the ruins are. Easy ride over to Stockbridge and great starting point to exploring the Berkshires. Passed the Big Y grocery store on the way to the cottage--Right off the Mass Pike. Loved having the closed in patio. Had breakfast out there every morning. Beds were comfortable, showers were adequate, smartly decorated, kitchen nicely stocked but not a lot of counter space for food prep but not really a big deal. Cell phone reception was spotty but not a big deal for us. TV is tiny but we only watched a couple of DVD's one evening. The only con would be the ultrasonic mouse repeller--they made clicking noises every few minutes. Thought it was the heat turning on but realized that wasn't it--tried not to pay attention to it. Never saw any critters either. Norman Rockwell museum is a must visit. Poked around Stockbridge and the shops. Went hiking at McLennan Reservation which is about a mile or two down the street from the cottage. Went apple picking at Windy Hill Farm in Great Barrington--lots and lots of apples. Visited Les Trois Emme Vineyard & Winery in New Marlborough. Overall loved the location and would love to stay here again and would recommend the cottage to as a good place to for exploring the Berkshires.
Thanks for this - I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and I hope you will return! Wanted to mention that the plug-in ultrasonic mouse repellants can be unplugged if they are bothersome. I've found some people can't stand them while others don't notice or hear them. I'm not sure if they really are responsible for keeping mice away, but I try to stack the deck in our favor. Unplugging them for a few days should not make any difference for mouse control.
Also wanted to mention we are adding a full bath upstairs for next season. Stay tuned and come back!
Darling house in a beautiful country setting.
My husband, daughters and I recently spent a week at Jennifer's house in Tyringham. The house is just darling! It has everything you need for a pleasant stay-pots, pans, dishes, a washer and dryer. I even used the blender to make smoothies. There is a screened in porch which was delightful. It's surrounded by a pretty meadow and beautiful mountains. It's like youre sitting in the middle of a postcard. The house is in a gorgeous area and you'll be spoiled for choice with all the great hikes near by. We would definitely stay here again.
Beatiful cottage in magical setting
This is a lovely house in a magical setting. The larger Ashintully property--including the ruins of the mansion at the top of the hill and the gardens right across the lane--is breathtaking, and having such proximity and access to it is a rare privilege. We had one especially memorable early morning hike up to the columns.
The cottage is simply beautiful, with modern crank-out windows that let you fill the house with breezes, and with gorgeous painted floors throughout. All decisions, large and small, have obviously been made with an eye for both esthetics and practicality, and the result makes for an appealing, comfortable and deeply satisfying place to relax and retreat. One of the nicest features is the new porch, which lets you sit and/or dine with a full view of the surrounding fields and hills. (The main road is close by, but it only bothered us on one occasion.)
Jennifer is an impeccable person to rent from: prompt and thoughtful, with lots of attention to detail. She makes sure you are happy. We have rented quite a few houses, and Jennifer is among the best to deal with.
Wonderful and peaceful Ashintully Cottage
This was our second stay at Ashintully and we loved it even more this time around. It's incredibly peaceful, while also enjoying close proximity to many other towns (Lenox, Lee, GB, Stockbridge, Monterey & Otis). There are three swimming options within 5 - 20 minutes away (Lake Garfield, Benedict Pond and the Tyringham swimming hole), and loads of walking/hiking choices. We walked on the Cobble at least once each day. The house itself is spacious, clean, and has everything you need, including a fabulous screened in porch where we spent most evenings. As others have noted, there is limited wifi and cell services, but what's available was fine for our needs (it's vacation, people: put the devices away). The owner Jennifer is very responsive and accommodating. I've rented a number of houses in the Berkshires, and Ashintully is by far my favorite.
Thanks, I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay!
Quaint, Rustic Cottage in beautiful setting
We had a wonderful long weekend stay at the cottage. It was very clean and well-maintained - the best part was the new screened-in porch which gave you a beautiful view of the surrounding nature. The beds were comfortable, and first floor bedroom has full attached bathroom which is nice. The kitchen is very basic but everything worked and it was well-equipped. It was just about 10 minutes to Lee which we loved, and 20 minutes to Great Barrington and Tanglewood, so location was very convenient...and lots of hiking trails nearby. I would say if you're looking for a relaxed back-to-nature kind of weekend, this is a great place to stay. No frills (including no TV service and spotty cell/wi-fi) but clean and cozy. The owner was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the whole process.

Jackie's Story
Posted June 16, 2005
Like most people we got married and tried unsuccessfully
to have children the natural way.
We went through the Clomid & 5 IVF
cycles in the Chicago area. Every failure was devastating;
the haunting one forever is the loss of our babies born
late in the pregnancy. The doctors in Illinois told
us to give up; we've already been through too much.
Being in our early thirties and knowing
the success rate drops off at 35 we had to make a decision;
to give up or come up with a new plan. We researched
national fertility centers that are state-of-the-art
with high success rates. Also, after spending ten's
of thousands of dollars on 5 IVF's, we felt that a state
that would pay for treatment would help.
We decided to go the Brigham
and Women's Hospital in Boston. I quit my job and
moved to get set-up & my husband followed 4 months
later. We both quit great jobs & sold our house.
On our first try, 5 months after we moved,
we got pregnant and had a little girl 8 months later.
Eight months after that, we went through a frozen cycle
with extra embryos from the first cycle and hit again.
Seven months later we had a little baby boy. We are
finished with our family and will move out of the Boston
area back to the Mid-west.
I hope this story will encourage people
to explore all options to make their dreams come true.

Morning one and all,
Just received this funky little clip from Arnad Hajdic of his mate Alex Maniatas surfing the waves of Coffs Harbour in NSW Australia.
Some of you both local and afar will remember with great affection our old friends "Simon and Michelle Jeffery" who emigrated there a few years back with their sons Ross & Lewis.
Miss them so much so I do.

Forget Britannia and her olive branch – if you're shopping in Britain this autumn and get a 50 pence piece in your change, you'll find the image of a time trial racer staring up at you.
It's the work of Theo Crutchley-Mack, a cycling-mad 16-year-old from Yorkshire who has won a Royal Mint competition to create a cycling-themed coin for the 2012 London Olympics.
Rishworth School pupil Theo, who is an avid reader of Mountain Biking UK magazine, told BikeRadar: "The idea of my design being seen by millions of people and being in their back pockets is an amazing feeling. It's a dream come true."
Theo enjoys mountain biking, particularly trials, and is a member of two local clubs, Blazing Saddles in Hebden Bridge and Pedal Sport in Halifax. "I'm into art as well, so this competition involving cycling and art was a really good opportunity," he said.
"I heard about it from my dad, went on the internet and did some research, and produced a few starting sketches... It's amazing to see my design on the coin."
Theo has been given a one-off solid gold version of his 50p – the standard cupro-nickel version goes into circulation in September – and has won £10,000 for his school. "I've still got to speak to my headmaster but I'd like some to go into cycling," he said.
Dave Knight, the Royal Mint's head of commemorative coins, said: "Forget the fact Theo's 16 – this is a very good design full stop. He's really captured the essence of the sport. The judges were impressed by the sense of speed, drama and excitement he managed to capture in his entry."
The cycling coin is the second in a series of 29 officially licensed 50ps, designed by members of the public as lasting mementos of the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games.
The standard 50p has an image of the Queen on the front and Britannia (seated beside a lion and carrying a shield, trident and olive branch) on the reverse side.

The Mission of the Public Health Education and Promotion diploma program is to organize college students to succeed as professionals in world employment or for the pursuit of advanced levels. We accomplish this mission by providing a content wealthy, professionally accredited curriculum that features state-of-the art technology expertise, area experiences, and public engagement. Faculty accomplish this system's mission by effectiveness in teaching, productiveness in analysis or other creative activities, and repair contributions. Frances compulsory contributions, if you are working, is round 21%, not 5.25% as you state, and their system is operating in the purple. This share WILL go up. And, the Republican's guarantee situation scheme of purchase it everytime you need it is going to make the Republican program just as financially unsustainable–too many will not buy it and those who do might be disproportionately sick.
From 1939 onwards, all health care techniques in the UK have been beneath nice strain.

News of Delrahim's appointment to the nation's prime antitrust job comes weeks after Anthem attorneys informed a Delaware decide that they are relying on the Trump administration to settle the antitrust division's current lawsuit blocking its Cigna merger. Between these court docket statements and Delrahim's appointment, President Trump had a private telephone call with Anthem's CEO, Joseph Swedish. Anthem gave $one hundred,000 to Trump's inaugural committee, and after Trump assumed workplace, the Securities and Exchange Fee helped Anthem quash a shareholder resolution designed to drive it to reveal its lobbying expenditures.
Agreed. I think profit for the insurance coverage companies can also be a huge sink of cash. The very fact is that the revenue motive for insurance coverage firms does under no circumstances enhance care. The first means they cut back costs and enhance earnings is by denying care. The profit motive is pointless for an industry that does little except manage paperwork and billing; there may be absolutely no innovation.
A lot of people these days are using varied medications and happening crash diets to lose some unwanted kilos and enhance their health. Due to this phenomenon, the benefits of cardio exercises have been overlooked. Two of the extra well-known types of cardio train are working and jogging. Doing these actions lead to improved physical look, healthier coronary heart, and elevated moods.

Parker Monhollon, a little girl from Kansas who spent more than a year fighting a tumor in her brain, died Monday night.
Her family announced her death on the Parker Loves Life Facebook page, where they invited the public to follow Parker's progress from the day she was diagnosed with cancer in January 2016.
Parker would have turned 10 on July 26.
This is how her family shared the news on Monday: "7:55pm we lost our baby girl, Parker LeAnn Monhollon! Her legacy began at the same time. We will carry her memory on forever ... #parkerloveslife #day541 #sheisalegend."

For more than a year, family, friends and strangers from far and wide followed the Facebook page for updates and news about Parker, who did combat with a brain tumor called diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, or DIPG.
The "monster," as the Monhollons came to call it, wrapped itself around the lower part of Parker's brain stem. She died in a hospital in Mexico where the family had taken her to receive special chemotherapy treatments.
Last week Parker's mother, Amanda, let followers know that her brave little daughter's fight was nearing an end.
Parker "is no longer breathing on her own," Amanda Monhollon wrote on July 5.
"This is DIPG as we know it, it's not the same journey or play out has most dipg kids where the tumor takes over their mind. Instead its the opposite, it has left holes in her brain where they can not connect. We had an MRI yesterday and an EEG. Low brain activity was confirmed. Regardless of the MRI results, my child is not living and that is the truth."
Then, over the weekend, Monhollon posted a video saying Parker's brain activity was completely gone, but because Mexico does not honor DNRs – do not resuscitate – requests, the family was waiting for her heart to stop on its own.
"We're just going to hold on and wait until she's ready," Amanda Monhollon said. "And then we've decided to donate her tumor so, after she passes, they will take her tumor and we'll be able to bring her home.
"This will probably be my last update until all those things take place and, yeah, that's it ... thank you everyone for following her journey. She's such an amazing little girl."
News of Parker's death Monday spread quickly on social media. Though followers knew her health was failing, many had prayed and hoped for a miracle for the little girl who loved to dance.
Thousands of messages of condolence and prayers, and public grief, flooded the Facebook page.
"Parker Loves Life" became a rallying cry – and a hashtag – for her followers on social media. Total strangers, including former Kansas City Royals pitcher Chris Young, gravitated toward her story in ways that humbled the family from Silver Lake, Kan.
Parker told the world she had cancer in a Jan. 16, 2016, YouTube video, shot in her purple bedroom at home.
"I just got done with MRI. They said I have a brain tumor," the third-grader said in a singsong voice. "And it's something that's on your brain. And it's called tumors. And they get bigger and bigger. So you have to take these pills."
Parker took dance lessons at an Olathe studio, and the close-knit dance community rallied behind her during her fight, hosting fundraisers and posting tribute videos.
Young sent her a video message, too.
Along the way, Parker's story taught people about DIPG, a rare, pediatric brain tumor that affects about 300 children, typically between the ages of 5 and 9, every year, according to Boston's Children Hospital. It is very difficult to treat. The tumors are aggressive, and there is no cure yet.
"Parker displayed uncommon courage and strength fighting this disease, as did her parents and siblings," Parker's grandfather, Rusty Monhollon, said in a statement on Monday.
"I myself am heartbroken, by Parker's passing, of course, but also by seeing my son (Danny) and his family endure such sorrow and anguish.
"Their ordeal has been eased some through the generosity and goodness of family, friends, and complete strangers, kindness that can never be fully repaid and for which I'm so very grateful."

Following the research Kat produced a report, which was presented to the community, statutory and voluntary sector. It can be downloaded by clicking here..
'Homelessness was more than just the lack of a house; it was about having a lack of stability and proper base from which to lead their life. Importantly, it was also about a lack of support and not having family around you. It was also feeling tired and frustrated and ending up in conflict with people around you. It was also associated with having a lack of money and literally not being able to afford essentials like food' (Quilgars, Fitzpatrick & Pleace, 2011)
Since publishing the report Bath YFC and Bath YMCA have been working together to respond to the needs of young homeless people in the following ways.
Bath Nightstop:
We are working closely with Bath YMCA to develop a Bath Nightstop:
- Through a network of Volunteer Hosts who will offer a warm room to stay in their own home, an evening meal, breakfast, support and compassion
- Volunteer Hosts will be supported by a Bath Nightstop Host Coordinator and Key worker, receive training and will be paid expenses for the cost of the meals that they provide
- The Host coordinator and key worker will support young people who are at risk of becoming homeless by giving them independent expert advice, helping them to return home where this is possible, supporting them when and where they need it and securing a safe place to stay through the Host Network when no one else can help
- Bath YMCA and Bath Youth for Christ (Bath YFC) will work closely to develop ongoing support and longer term accommodation for those who need it.
If you are interested in hosting please get in touch with Kat by emailing her.
We are working towards:
Support for young people to through the provision of an open space to connect, get support, advice and guidance
For you people affected by homelessness, where life can be chaotic and finding people who they can depend on tricky Bath YFC is creating a space for young people affected by homelessness to connect with professionals who can support them, build connections and find out how to get the help they need. This piece of work is still in development and will be launching in early 2018.
Support for young people to become all they can be through long term mentoring.
All of us need others to walk life with us, sometimes for a short period of time, sometimes for a little longer. The mentoring for young people affected by homelessness will link a trusted adult mentor with a young person. The mentor will provide a listening ear, support and encouragement for the young person. This will be a safe place for the young person to build relationship that will provide ongoing support even after the young person has moved on from the accommodation.
To find out more about our developing work with young people affected by homelessness please contact Kat Lazenby on 01225 336055 or email her.

With all the freezing cold and miserable weather that we have been having over the last couple of months, the likelihood that people want to go away to somewhere even colder and with even more snow is quite low. But there are a select few of you out there who crave that soft white snow, especially when It is draped over a mountain just begging you to ski or board down it. Of course I am talking about a ski holiday, one of the only worthwhile activities to travel to such a cold destination for. I myself do love a bit of snowboarding, I ski too but having been in many a habitual argument regarding who looks cooler on the slopes I have to say that my allegiance lie firmly with the snowboarders.
Of course this kind of trip is not appealing for everyone, for a lot of people the idea of having to pack even warmer clothes than they would if they were to be staying in the UK is not appealing. Sun, sea and sand is often the holy-grail for any Brit that is going abroad, simply because we don't have much of it ourselves. If you too are a big fan of hitting the slopes in the winter months, but you can't seem to convince anyone that temperatures below -10 can still provide fun times then try giving one of our Cool London Escorts a call, there is no question that our girls would be up for that.
I am not at all trying to sell ski holidays to those that do not feel like them, but they can really be good fun. There isn't many better feelings then getting to the top of a run, first thing in the morning when the snow is still fresh and hasn't yet been skied on and just cruising down, taking in the sights while you go. Now imagine that exact same scene, but with a busty escort from London skiing right next to you, bliss!
One your time on the slopes is done by around 4pm there is till plenty to do, most people will head back to their hotels or ski lodge's, get changed and go out for some food (I must warn you skiing really rev's up your appetite, you'll find yourself eating a lot more than usual but it feels well deserved.) Depending on where you go there are often quite a few lively bars and small nightclubs that people will attend after dinner, and you don't need me to tell you how much more fun this will be with a sexy escort from London partying with you.
This does make it difficult to get up early the next morning but at least you'll be waking up with a London escort by your side.
Skiing doesn't sound so bad now does it

Chinese iron ore futures ticked higher but kept near one-month lows on Tuesday, as ample supply of the steelmaking raw material countered transport disruptions caused by heavy snow in the country.
Rebar steel prices slipped, touching their lowest level in nearly a week at one point.
Heavy snow has led to transport bottlenecks in China, snarling railroads and highways and cutting off critical supplies of some commodities like thermal coal.
But supply of iron ore appears unaffected for now.
"High iron ore inventories, both at the ports and at steel mills, suggest the impact from such disruptions will be low and have little price impact," ANZ analysts said in a note.
The most-actively traded iron ore contract for May delivery on the Dalian Commodity Exchange was up 0.7 percent at 519.50 yuan ($82) a tonne by 0213 GMT. The contract initially touched 513.50 yuan, not far above Monday's one-month trough of 511 yuan.
Stocks of imported iron ore at China's ports stood at 153.13 million tonnes on Jan. 26, falling for the first time in 15 weeks, but still near the record 154.43 million tonnes from the previous week, according to data tracked by SteelHome consultancy. SH-TOT-IRONINV
At small- and medium-sized Chinese mills, iron ore inventory rose 9.4 percent as of Jan. 19 from Jan. 5, Morgan Stanley said.
The benchmark spot iron ore price was little changed on Monday, standing at $74.33 a tonne, according to Metal Bulletin.
Steel inventory at Chinese traders has also recovered, reaching 3.97 million tonnes for construction product rebar as of Friday, more than a million tonnes higher from an all-time low of 2.84 million tonnes in mid-December, SteelHome data showed. SH-TOT-RBARINV
"With better-than-expected macro data, industry started building up stock in preparation for the peak season after Chinese New Year," Morgan Stanley said in a note. The week-long Chinese holiday begins on Feb. 15.
The most-traded rebar on the Shanghai Futures Exchange slipped 0.6 percent to 3,923 yuan a tonne.

James Cameron May Own "Terminator" Franchise in 2019
Posted: December 4th, 2012 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
About 18 months ago, Megan Ellison, the daughter of billionaire Oracle founder Larry Ellison, bought the rights to the "Terminator" franchise for $20 million, with plans of developing three films.
While Arnold Schwarzenegger and director Justin Lin (Fast Five) were in talks to join "Terminator 5," there has been zero progress. As a result Lin dropped out. The reason for the delay is that the franchise is running out of time. New copyright laws state that "Terminator" rights will revert back to James Cameron in 2019, giving Megan only enough time to make two films.
To get things moving, Megan has now brought on her brother David to help produce and fund "Terminator 5." Megan is known for such films as "The Master," "True Grit" and "Zero Dark Thirty," while David has been behind "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol," "World War Z" and "Star Trek Into Darkness."
The siblings are now searching for a writer.

Hopefully they get this sorted with future wars.
on December 4th, 2012 at 6:53:33 AM
Eh...who gives a sh*t about franchise. To me it's already ruined since Terminator 3.
on December 4th, 2012 at 6:57:27 AM
Only enough time to make 2 films. In 7 years?
We saw 7 Saw films in that amount of time, and we're gonna see 10 + Star Wars films.
Get OUT of the kitchen and into the studio.
on December 4th, 2012 at 6:58:02 AM
On second thoughts...
on December 4th, 2012 at 7:06:35 AM
Then Cameron can sell it to Disney.
on December 4th, 2012 at 7:57:59 AM
Didn't Cameron originally sell the rights anyway? (Or did he simply give it away like an unwanted pregnancy?) He's just going to do the same thing again in 2019.

Hey that might be good...a remake of terminator 3 directed by james cameron would obviously turn out better but then again the terminators would look like blue avatar versions of arnold set on pandora...i still picture in my head how T2 would've been if arnold was the T-1000 or even if there wasn't an advanced terminator, just to see him playing the bad guy is what scared me as a kid and made the first movie so much different than T2...would've made T2 more scarier, well and funnier...fahck you ahssshole lol
on December 4th, 2012 at 2:37:27 PM
A. Cameron has already said he's more than totally done with the franchise. If by some miracle they don't squeeze out another film by 2019, he'll just send the rights to someone else for another twenty million or so.
B. Nowhere does it say, nor does it read in the above article, the production company must make three films, or two, by 2019, and the usually expectancy is for one film to hit production. With another...seven years to go, I don't think that's a big deal.
Just reboot the franchise already for Christ's sake. It's the right thing at this point. A sequel is going to suck, they've f*cked the timeline all to hell, just reboot the damned thing and try to get it half right.
That's all.
on December 4th, 2012 at 2:50:49 PM
A reboot might work but only with proper casting.no collin farrell and no jaden smith thank you very much.
on December 4th, 2012 at 3:16:48 PM
they should have just let this story apart, or why not introduce a different concept or perspective to the same universe.
on December 4th, 2012 at 3:18:53 PM
or, anyway, who gives a sh*t, they should develop a different concept completely away from that of the terminator franchise so they wont be have to pay for it
and then you could probably have something original and stuff like that.
you know, ala Elysium and Oblivion, you know.

on December 4th, 2012 at 6:28:41 PM
i will happily write terminator 5, plot: the machines develop a terminator that absorbs matter to make copies of itself and send thousands of new terminator machines back through time to start killing off the entire human race before john connor is even born and begin to merge realities when the skynet mainframe sends itself through time to embed its neural net into the undeveloped global networks of 1984. The only hope for humanity is future john connor's ability to reach out to the T-101 model holding the key to skynets ultimate weakness

This could be good, I heard some good movies in that list..
True grit, WWZ, Ghost Protocal..
I hope. It happens, I really really like the Terminator franchise, So I how they make a couple more GOOD ones..

Welcome to The Top 5, where every week, we list five things for a given topic. These topics can range from "5 Things We Liked About The Power Rangers Teaser Trailer" to "5 Things We Want (Or Don't Want) In Ben Affleck's The Batman."
Of course, because everyone has an opinion, there is sure to be some disagreements, which is why, despite the title "The Top 5," very rarely are these actual "best of" articles. Instead, they're meant to provide entertaining insight, and to stir a discussion, and give everyone a chance to speak their mind.
If you have a suggestion for a Top 5 piece, send them my way via #TheTop5LRM on Twitter. If I choose your topic, I'll be sure to give you a shoutout!
Now, on with today's topic!
While I may have had relatively high hopes for Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events based on the talent involved, I don't think I quite expected to be as smart and as verbosely inclined as it ended up being. From its amazing set design to its dark sense of humor and sharp writing, it really was the event of the season. As someone with only a passing familiarity with the source material, it was a happy discovery.
There were many highlight characters of the season. Count Olaf was deliciously devious, and each of the Baudelaire guardians had their own distinctive quirks, but I found myself taken by Mr. Poe, the executor of the Baudelaire estate from Mulctuary Money Management. Ambitious, stupid, and thickheaded, Mr. Poe was not only a wonderful source of dark comedy throughout the season, but a perfect personification of the theme that adults have no idea what they're doing.
Here are 5 hilarious quotes from Mr. Poe in A Series of Unfortunate Events!
"I've never been through anything like this myself, but I can imagine just how you feel.â€
There are many lines at the beginning that could have been a harbinger of things to come, but I think this was the perfect indicator. In one line, we get the impression that this world is full of folks too caught up in their own lives to properly even pretend to give a damn about the kids and their well-being. Like many characters in the series, Mr. Poe only cares at the most surface of levels about whether or not the kids live or die, and is only half-assedly trying to say things he thinks someone should say under such circumstances.
"Oh, don't be silly, children. It is quite shocking that Doctor Montgomery has died, but I am not going to simply hand you and your fortune over to his assistant. Not without some very thorough paperwork.â€
This line follows the unexpected death of the Baudelaires' second guardian, Montgomery Montgomery. The man was apparently killed one of his own snakes, and the only one there apart from the children is the shifty-eyed Stefano — who, of course, is really only Count Olaf in disguise.
This another perfect verbalization of the main theme of the story. Sure, it'd be perfectly ideal if the kids had a lovely and peaceful existence with a guardian who cares for them. But at the end of the day, the protection they'll receive only goes so far as the paperwork allows. God forbid any sort of real logic or common sense be brought into the picture. Sadly, the fortunes rarely fall in the Baudelaires' favor, and as children, they're always left with the impossible task of proving beyond a shadow of a doubt why they can't be left on the doorstep of a stranger looking to steal their inheritance.
"You can't just start jumping to conclusions. You've jumped to the conclusion that this note is a forgery, and now you're jumping to the conclusion that a villainous man who swore he'd stop at nothing until he got a hold of your parents' enormous fortune is involved in some plot to get a hold of your parent's enormous fortune.â€
Mr. Poe spouts this gold-laden line following the apparent death of the Baudelaires' third guardian, Aunt Josephine, who was believed to have committed suicide by jumping out of the window. Left on a nearby table was a letter written in her hand, declaring disdain for the world and passing her guardianship of the kids to Captain Sham, who she had only met the day before (as I'm sure you know, this was, once again, Count Olaf in disguise).
This is another prime example of stupid bureaucratic-type humor at work. While all common sense would dictate that the oddly-named Captain Sham should be looked upon with a critical eye, Mr. Poe's common sense begins and ends at the length of the sheet of paper on which his contracts are written. Like many other of the numerous witty lines in the show, it lays on a thick coat irony in an over-long sentence, and the only ones smart enough to realize that are the very kids, who are too young to be taken seriously.
"Oh, come now, that won't work either, again.â€
After being consistently fooled by Count Olaf's Captain Sham, it takes Sunny chewing down his peg leg to a splinter for Mr. Poe to realize that the captain isn't who he says he is. Obviously, this is the third-plus time, Mr. Poe has been hoodwinked by Olaf, and rather than immediately head for the hills, Olaf tries his best to talk his way out of it — it worked before, right?
The quote above is in response to Olaf pulling out his business cards and claiming that the name "Captain Sham†on them is proof that he isn't Count Olaf. Like most of the characters in A Series of Unfortunate Events, Mr. Poe is prone to make the same mistake not just twice, but at least a handful of times, but he assures Olaf that he won't fall for that again. We certainly doubt that's the case.
"I think you children will have a good home here. I hope so anyway, because I just received a promotion. Vice President of Orphan Affairs — which means I'll be too busy to check in on you orphans.â€
As we reach the end of the first season of the series, the Baudelaires once again find themselves without a guardian and without a home. Although, despite the general incompetence of Mr. Poe over the course of the story, he is, in a way, one of the only real consistencies they've had. Now, in another twist of ironic fate, his incompetence has led Mr. Poe to a promotion as the VP of Orphan Affairs.
This promotion is proven even more ironic when it leads Poe to care even less about the kids in their fate — as he's now far too busy to properly take care of them. Rather than saddle them with yet another guardian, Poe has opted to send them straight to boarding school, which is sure to help them "build character.â€
Once again, Mr. Poe's stupidity and selfishness stand between the orphans and their happiness. This is quite fitting, given the tone of the source material, and as the ending song states, with this story, "there's no happy ending, not here and not now.†We'll have to wait around until next season to see what misfortune lies ahead for the Baudelaires.
What were some of your favorite quotes from Mr. Poe? Let us know down below!

Chris Lynde, CEOData accuracy is one of the most important factors directly influencing the growth trajectory of the B2B marketplace. A significant portion of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) data in B2B marketing databases today is critically error-ridden with "bad data," such as missing or incorrect contact names and titles, or changed contacts due to people switching jobs or relocating offices. The cost of bad data to enterprise level organizations is staggering, with some reports estimating an average of $13 million per company, per year. These costs are primarily related to wasted marketing spend and increased costs associated with marketing automation contact volume. This is compounded by the loss of sales productivity and opportunity as reps spend time chasing bad leads. While the market has traditionally taken a programmatic approach to cleaning up bad data (e.g., transliteration, data parsing, address standardization), there remains a growing demand for a solution that guarantees contact accuracy. This is where SaleScout comes into play.
Founded in 2014, SaleScout offers data solutions and a SaaS platform for B2B sales and marketing teams in large enterprise organizations. The company's customer list includes major brands in the telecom, unified communications, cybersecurity, IT and cloud computing,office services, and commercial real estate markets. The company's product suite includes marketing qualified leads (MQLs), competitive brand and tech targeting, CRM contact optimization, Account-Based Marketing and its flagship product, ScoutFeed, which provides high conversion sales triggers. These triggers comprise 25 different types of alerts including executive changes, company relocations, mergers & acquisitions, company funding events, lease terminations and hiring's that are all indicative of ripe sales opportunities. Chris Lynde, CEO of SaleScout says, "In the process of sourcing all this data, we built one of the most accurate B2B databases in the U.S. and we only make it available to our customers.
From a technological perspective, we are on the leading edge of sourcing unique data and using predictive sciences to score confidence levels and enhance the value and accuracy of that data
We've sourced more than 10 million companies, with millions of highly qualified contacts predominantly consisting of CXOs and IT professionals." Data is ingested directly into the client's CRM and marketing automation systems allowing them to call on or target leads at exactly the right time. All data is human verified for accuracy and completeness at the contact name, title, phone number and email level so clients aren't paying for leads that don't meet their CRM business rules. Further, SaleScout customer success teams train the sales and marketing teams on use of the data and the talk tracks that the sales rep uses to turn cold calls into warm calls that convert.
A common target for both sales and marketing is a buyer that is going through a significant change in their business. This buyer constitutes a good lead for sales and is positioned as an accurate target for marketing. A good example of this would be a company that just completed a round of funding where according to Lynde, they are eight times more likely to be receptive to a sales solicitation.
SaleScout targets two different personas with the CMO or head of demand genon one side and the head of sales on the other. Talking about the difference in the approach of both sales and marketing, Lynde discussed how SaleScout has garnered success with data products that support both camps. Whereas sales is focused on closing leads at the middle of the funnel, marketing departments are supporting demand gen activities that require broader scale at the top of the funnel. Ultimately however, both are measured on conversion, and Lynde asserts that accuracy, timing and intent are the fundamental drivers of success for both agendas. To underscore the performance of the ScoutFeed data, Lynde cites a major national telecom company that over the last 12 months has generated 15 percent lead to opportunity and 21 percent close/won rates across 13 major metropolitan markets.
According to Lynde, SaleScout revenues have grown by 400 percent this year alone and he projects continued month-over-month growth of 15 percent or more for the foreseeable future. The company is moving into new corporate headquarters in February and plans on quadrupling its size in the coming 24 months. SaleScout is working on an entirely different approach to CRM hygiene, and they hope to launch this new product in 2018.
"From a technological perspective, we are on the leading edge of sourcing unique data and using predictive sciences to score confidence levels and enhance the value and accuracy of that data," concludes Lynde.

Marquise Goodwin Says 'Never Stop Believing' After Death of Infant SonNovember 14, 2017
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin spoke to reporters on a conference call Tuesday and discussed how he and his wife, Morgan Goodwin-Snow, have handled the death of their infant son.
"Never stop believing," Goodwin said regarding others who will go through the same situation, according to NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco. "The reward will last longer than the pain.
"We do have a lot of people that are following us through our journey. So we can maybe help people who've dealt with similar things that we have gone through or learn things from people who've been through our situation."
Goodwin added he and his wife have been touched by the outpouring of support ever since he made the news public in an Instagram post on Sunday.
"We didn't realize that sharing our journey with this baby would gain this many people supporting us," he said, according to 95.7 The Game.
The 26-year-old also disclosed that it was Morgan who encouraged him to play Sunday against the New York Giants—a game the 49ers won 31-21 to capture their first victory of the season.
"She insisted that I go play in the game, because she understood my team needed me," he said, according to 95.7.
"I think it speaks more about her character than mine," Goodwin added, per the Sacramento Bee's Matt Barrows.
After receiving those encouraging words, Goodwin hauled in an 83-yard touchdown pass and blew a kiss toward the sky before dropping to his knees in the end zone, as the 49ers documented on Twitter:
San Francisco 49ers @49ers
C.J. going DEEP to @flashg88dwin for the TD! 83 yards to the 🏡 #NYGvsSF https://t.co/snZKzSwVJB
"He was struggling with it for obvious reasons and he decided to play, which we were very grateful for," head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Monday, per ESPN.com's Nick Wagoner. "And I think he did a hell of a job for his wife yesterday, being there for her and helped out his family from that aspect and also helped out his family here, too."

Why Drug Test Employees?
Many companies have adopted pre-employment, random, post-accident and reasonable suspicion drug testing policies to preserve the safety and productivity of their employees and organizations. By using an effective and accredited drug testing program, you can lessen the effects of drug abuse, including absenteeism, tardiness, employee turnover, attitude problems, embezzlement, low productivity, crime and violence.
Employee Drug Testing Services include:
Lab Based Drug Testing (non-DOT, DOT & Random)
Turnaround Time: 24-48 Hours
Urine testing, the most common screening method, is an accurate and reliable way to detect drug use. The most common drug screen types are 5, 9 and 10 panel urine drug screens. Pricing includes forms, collection, testing, Medical Review Officer (MRO) review of all tests (positive and negative), re-confirmation of positive tests, and reporting by fax, email or our web-based system.
Hair Follicle Drug Testing
Turnaround Time: 24-48 Hours
Hair testing for drugs of abuse is the only drug-testing method available that provides up to a 90-day drug use history. This makes hair testing an ideal solution for pre-employment and random testing protocols. When compared with urine specimen testing, hair testing provides up to 2.5 times the number of positives and a longer detection window. Hair testing tests for the 5 most common classes of drugs. These are amphetamines (including ecstasy), cocaine, marijuana, opiates and phencyclidine (PCP).
Rapid Drug Testing Cup
Turnaround Time: 3-5 Minutes
The RediCup 5 or 10 Panel drug screening device, with its all-inclusive, self contained cup, minimizes collector exposure to urine, making it ideal for pre-employment and random testing protocols. The accuracy is comparable to lab GC/MS standards. This cutting edge technology delivers fast results which are easily read with no urine handling or dip cards. Cups are simple to use and provide results in 3-5 minutes. Positive results are sent to a laboratory for confirmation.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse named drug abuse as the most common health hazard in the American workplace.
10% to 23% of American workers (less than age 40) use drugs on the job.
43% of cocaine addicts sell drugs at work, 63% of cocaine addicts report that they can easily buy drugs at work.
Employees who abuse drugs are about 30-35% less productive than non-users.
Employees who abuse drugs and alcohol cause more than 40% of on-the-job injuries.
Employees who abuse drugs are more likely to steal to support their habit.
Employed drug abusers cost their employers about twice as much in medical and worker compensation claims as their drug-free coworkers.
The employee with a substance abuse problem:
Is late for work 3 times more than the non-abuser
Is absent 16 times more than the non-abuser
Has 2.5 times as many absences of 8 days or more than the non-abuser
Uses sick benefits 3 times more than the non-abuser
Is 5 times more likely to file for worker's compensation because they are involved in 3.6 times more accidents than the non-abuser
Has 7 times more garnished proceedings than the average employee

Nowadays home buyers call for a funding or mortgage to manage their very first residence. While home purchasers can check out any kind of residence, the quantity of financing they could obtain will be identified by their loaning bank or broker. Even with credit report authorization for the quantity of the decided upon house prices, the financing firm might need an assessment of the property to make sure that the quantity they are offering the purchaser in fact reflects the marketplace worth of the residence (in the event that the bank needs to recover the residence due to a defaulted financing).
The loan provider wills most of the times select an evaluator to see the building to identify the home market value. Even if the vendor decides to obtain an assessment the seller must recognize that the lending institution is not needed to make use of the vendor's appraisal to figure out the value of the house. Nevertheless for the objective of prices to offer your residence, getting an assessment might aid to establish whether you're asking cost mirrors a relatively reasonable market price. There are many methods a residence seller could acquire an evaluation. Online home appraisals could commonly provide an immediate house assessment, though the residence seller ought to comprehend that the assessment acquired online will not be customized to include any defects or upgrades in the home that may exist. These issues or upgrades when realized by the loan provider's personally appraisal might cause significant distinction in the home value than that obtained online.
Consideration to the changes in the realty market must likewise be put on these instantaneous online assessments. While some on line home appraisals assessment websites will use recent sales to help the calculation, they may not precisely account for purchaser's market (property market agrees with for purchasers) or seller's market (property market agrees with for sellers) trends for your area. For that reason in order to sell your house quickly you might need to change the price to make it more affordable compared to the online appraisal recommends. Using a number of free online house assessment sources to get a standard sales price, then applying your personal knowledge of any issues, repair work, "slow moving sales market" knowledge could assist to guarantee you are pricing your home in line with the reasonable market value.

With the introduction of Continuity for OSX Yosemite and iOS 8, not only has Tim Cook given Apple users a coherent platform from mobile phone and tablet to laptop and desktop, he has given Apple an opportunity to be number one in the battle for cloud storage and cloud computing services.

If you haven't been living under a rock, you've heard pundits proclaim the death of the PC. As consumers move to tablets and stop buying laptops and desktops, and as companies pinch IT budgets even harder than they have in the past, it's easy to paint a doomsday scenario for hardware. Even the hardware companies play into this myth — look no further than AMD to see weakness portrayed. For many, it seems, hardware has lost its sexiness.
Not so fast. Hardware is back. There are two clear catalysts for hardware in this era: Mobile devices as well as the explosion of cloud computing as a way to host applications, infrastructure and services. Let's unpack the promise of hardware from these two perspectives a little more...

It wasn't too long ago that businesses looking to grow had to invest in expensive hardware and software. The initial outlay put a lot of options out of smaller companies' reach, while the kit's upkeep and depreciation were a real headache for the bigger businesses that did invest. But now everything's changed. Virtual, shared resources are set to revolutionise the business world as we know it.
The end of 9 to 5
Part of this change is thanks to mobile networking. Smartphones and tablets are becoming increasingly sophisticated, running apps that were once restricted to desktop computing only. And soon we'll see 4G rolled out across the country, which means faster download speeds and greater capacity to deal with more demanding services...

A new survey confirms that mobile and cloud computing are the leading tech industry drivers — segments that tech executives and managers see as their big moneymakers. But looking ahead, these tech execs foresee data and analytics taking the lead, perhaps along with the Internet of Things (IoT). The tech industry's moneymakers are a reflection of where the demand is, and much of that demand comes from IT at midsize firms.
Follow the Money
Consulting and auditing firm KMPG recently asked 100 top tech industry executives what their top moneymakers were in 2013. Responses, according to InfoWorld, showed that mobile and the cloud were the biggest revenue generators, and that they were also running ahead of projections. Of the firms surveyed, 53 percent said mobile revenue exceeded expectations, and 47 percent said the same of cloud computing...

Mobile communications move and change at the speed of light. The way businesses and consumers use mobile technology today is not even remotely the same way they were using it just 10 years ago.

TECHNOLOGY: Google Wave Notifier (Firefox & Chrome)December 16, 2009
If you're anything like me, getting used to checking one more digital communication device can be a tough habit to get into. Many of us have multiple e-mail accounts, Twitter accounts, Facebook and lord knows what else. So… when a little helping hand comes along to assist your memory — we're always appreciative.
Recently two Google Wave Notifiers have been released, one for the Chrome browser and one for Firefox. I've not used the chrome, but the Firefox add-on has proven highly reliable. From your Add-On manager, you can change the settings which currently default to "check every 30 minutes" if this is just too long for you. And upon initial installation, you'll need to input your Google Wave credentials.

Music ISLAND vol.1: Peter and the Wolf (プロコフィエフ ピーターと狼) is a CD-ROM-based music entertainment title for the Pippin Atmark console. It features the musical composition Peter and the Wolf by Sergei Prokofiev, presented with animation.[1]
Three different editions of Music ISLAND vol.1 were produced: The Original edition includes bilingual English and Japanese support. It also supports General MIDI playback, either with built-in MIDI software or an external sequencer like Cubase, allowing the user to isolate instruments. The Lite edition omits English support and MIDI capabilities. The "Oke Pit" Orchestra & Piano Trainer edition includes the orchestral score sheets and a picture book with musical arrangements for piano solos.[2][3][4]
Music ISLAND vol.1 was developed by Oracion (オラシオン) with Macromedia Director and was originally released in 1993 as a set of separate discs (not hybrid) for Windows and Macintosh in Japan.[5] Though it is compatible with older Macintosh computers with 68040 processors and older PCs running Windows 3.1, MIDI support requires a Power Macintosh with a PowerPC processor or a PC running Windows 95.[3]
The forthcoming Pippin port was among early titles promoted by Bandai and Oracion at the Tokyo Toy Show in June 1995.[6] Some Pippin developers received an early beta version as part of a pre-release set bundled with Pippin Power Player prototypes in December 1995.[7] A hybrid version for Pippin and Macintosh was released in Japan in 1996.[1][8]
A hybrid U.S. version for Windows and Macintosh was released by Dynaware USA in December 1995.[9]
