Start Your Seeds Indoors For A Jump On Spring Planting

    Monday, August 27, 2012, 4:36 AM [General]

    Spring is creeping in, hallelujah, and it time for us to start digging in the dirt. For all of you frustrated gardeners that live in colder climes I bet you can wait to start planting your garden beds with flowers, herbs and vegetables. Over the long winter you forget how much you miss those showy blooms and the riot of color a beautiful garden can supply. If you live up north, there are a variety of ways to cope with the short growing season. Frost, which can happen as late as May or June, delays your plans for planting seeds. With the many quick growing plants this does not pose a problem but with vegetables and ornamentals a little head start is very helpful for healthy lush plants. Starting those plants indoors solves the problem of unwelcome frost. Getting an early start indoors will really make a difference for frost intolerant plants. Another benefit of starting seeds indoors is that as soon as the frost danger has passed, you can plant your seedlings into your garden giving you a good extra month of gorgeous blooming flowers. When starting seeds indoors, you must simulate the same conditions as those planted outside. Your basics for all plant life, whether inside or out, are soil, water and light. The difference is that your indoor seedlings will need a little more attention and each plant will have its own considerations. Always start with sterilized soil, this is essential. There is a fungus known as Damping-off-Disease that can wipe out your hard work in a matter of days. For some reason the propagation of plants indoors allows just the right conditions for the spores of these fungi to grow rampantly. You can easily avoid this plight by using sterile soil or a sterile medium. You can use your own soil but it involves a lot of work and may not be worth the effort when commercial mediums are readily available. To use your own soil, you must sterilize it in the oven after sifting out the clumps and debris. Most commercial mediums sometimes referred to as oil less?are usually a combination of peat moss and vermiculite. When using these mediums make sure it is clearly marked on the bag that they are sterilized. After deciding the medium that you will use, there are a variety of containers available to start your seeds. I have used flats, peat pots, dixie cups and even egg cartons successfully. As with any plant, the size of the container used is determined by the plant you are growing and only experience can guide you here. Seedlings require an enormous amount of light,beijing escort,Accepting Options With Cash For Silver, either sunlight or artificial light or a combination of both. If they don get sufficient light the plants will get eggy?or pindly? denying them a healthy start on the way to your garden. Even in a bright window with a lot of sun you may still need to use artificial light. If you do need to use artificial light, buy bulbs that are manufactured specifically for that purpose. Even though they are for the singular purpose of growing plants you still must keep them on for at least fourteen (14) hours a day. No artificial light can compensate for the intensity of direct sunlight. The most important element of growing your seedlings indoors is watching the moisture. They must be kept moist but not soggy. The most advantageous way to water is from the bottom. Set your pots in a tray and pour the water into the tray allowing the pots to soak up all of the water. Never let your pots stand in water as this will cause them to rot. If you have your pots in a very sunny window place them in a tray with gravel. Keep the gravel atered?just under the pots to keep them from drying out. When you first start your seedlings cover them tightly with plastic wrap. This helps to maintain warmth and moisture, but be careful to uncover them when they begin to sprout so they don smother. I know you may become anxious in January to start getting ready for planting season but it is important not to start you seeds indoors to early. If they outgrow your pots, you will have to thin them and transplant them to bigger containers. This is not the best scenario. For best results, you want to transplant them once outdoors as soon as they are large and healthy enough to survive. A good rule of thumb to start with is four to six weeks after sowing the seeds, making sure they have at least two sets of leaves. Right before transplanting your thriving seedlings, feed them with a very weak solution of a water soluble fertilizer to give them strength through the transplanting process. Keep a diary on what has worked for you, since experience is always the best teacher. Experiment a little each year with one or two new flowers, herbs or vegetables, this will add variety and spice to your garden. Go to gardening forums on the internet and join the group,beijing massage, the experiences of others is always helpful and the spirit of community is enjoyable and satisfying. Happy Planting!

    Listen my children and you shall hear of Sarah Palin's versi

    Monday, August 27, 2012, 4:35 AM [General]

    by Dr. Jeffrey Lant Sarah Palin came to Boston June 3, 2011 with her traveling circus of friends, children, grandchildren,beijing escort, and hangers on... On vacation, she wanted to show herself off to Boston while instructing her claque in the finer points of American revolution history, so much of which took place right here. Frankly, we were glad to see her since our tourist business was hard hit by the recent recession and is only just recovering, glad that is... ... until she started lecturing us locals on what we know best: our own history, whose facts she so scrambled that she managed to turn Paul Revere from our celebrated hero into a stooge for the British, a spy treacherously working for the very people we were fighting against, our 18th century owners and oppressors. Here's what she said after a visit to Old North Church when she was asked about Paul Revere's historic ride, April 18, 1775. With the ringing certitude she's made all her own Professor Palin commenced her mangling. Revere, she said, "warned the British that they weren't going to be taking away our arms. By ringing those bells and making sure as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be secure and we were going to be free." Except for the part where Palin says Revere got on his horse and rode... Professor Palin is wrong on every single point. Revere was not on a mission to warn the British. (Where does the lady get these ideas anyway?). He rode to warn the colonists to get up and defend themselves for the "British were coming", by sea. He didn't work alone but as part of a team of brave people who each, once briefed, had to get up and get out fast, to warn the colonists along their appointed route so that they could defend themselves and the arms they had dangerously, laboriously assembled. If Paul Revere had done what Palin said he did ("warn the British") he would have been snuffed out by the locals as a dangerous snitch, a traitor, not raised to the pinnacle of national respect and admiration. This entire imbroglio, this tempest in a tea cup, should never had taken place. Palin could have chosen to do what I did when I took my nephew Kyle out to the same historic sites. First, get a guidebook and read it. Second, visit the superb visitor centers along the way. They are packed with pertinent detail and good (air-conditioned) films, a real pleasure to see and get out of the humidity, too. Three, pepper the well prepared park service employees and local volunteers in period costumes with all your questions. They've heard it all and,Where Does Wholesale River Rock Come From, in my experience (for I've taken friends and family members thither many times) are well qualified, well versed, and always warm and welcoming in the New England fashion. Sarah, of course, chose none of these sensible alternatives. Sarah likes "going rogue" about this, as everything else. It means she does things, everything, her own way... and those who don't like it can lump it. She so liked the idea and the phrase that she titled her autobiography "Going Rogue: An American Life". (Simon and Schuster 2009). In Palin's "Alice in Wonderland" world whatever she says, no matter how wrong, is right and anyone criticizing her, however right, is always wrong. Fox News anchor Chris Wallace, her Fox colleague, was the latest victim of Palin-think. Sunday June 5, he discovered why even suggesting that Palin could be mistaken ever about anything is like fighting with a skunk. And we all know what that means... The daring but hapless Wallace suggested that Palin had erred in her Boston lecture on Revere. But Palin wasn't about to suffer that. What? Sarah! Make! A! Mistake! Not just impossible... but inconceivable. And what's more, that was just another instance of "gotcha" journalism, bad people out to get her. (In Sarah's conspiratorial world there are always such evildoers at hand for Sarah's world is lined with paranoia.) "You know what?" Palin spat at Wallace, "I didn't mess up about Paul Revere. Part of his ride was to warn the British that we're already there. That, hey, you're not going to succeed. You're not going to take American arms." There was more, lots more, delivered with the usual ingredients of her verbal Molotov cocktails... surety, disdain, condescension and her usual "Look brother,beijing massage,don't tread on me. Get off my back" nastiness, which can in an instant turn her smile into a sneer. Make no mistake about it, Sarah's a tough customer and any suggestion that she's not as good as the Virgin Mary directs her firepower at you, while her stiletto comes down hard on your foot, the better to make her point -- maggot, don't mess with me. And this to Chris Wallace, a professional colleague at the Fox Network! She went on, fire and brimstone at the ready, for Palin always comes armed with the arsenal of the street fighter: "Here is what Paul Revere did. He warned the Americans that the British were coming.., and they were going to try take our arms and we got to make sure that we were protecting ourselves and shoring up all of ammunitions and our firearms so that they couldn't take it," Palin said June 5. "But remember that the British had already been there, many soldiers for seven years in the area. And part of Paul Revere's ride --and it wasn't just one ride -- he was a courier, he was a messenger. Part of his ride was to warn the British that we're already there.... You are not going to beat our own well-armed persons, individual, private militia that we have. He did warn the British." And that, she suggests, is that. But, most assuredly, that is not that... and not just because she misstated a few facts which are all easily available in libraries and online. Even Boston's own Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in his famous poem "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" (published 1863) erred in focusing solely on what Revere did, to the detriment of his many other colleagues who also rode hard for freedom that April evening. No, Palin's fault is the assumption of infallibility with which she now approaches everything, great and small. That every word she mispronounces is faultless; every sentence she twists and destroys is perfect.... and every fact she gets wrong was in fact just previously misunderstood and is now clarified by her. This is not an American citizen and possible presidential candidate. This is the first, infallible American pope... and a woman too. And if you purists in the Vatican suggest that a non-Catholic and a woman will never be pope, Sarah will tell you different, thundering with words like schism and anti-pope at the ready. For you see, Sarah aims for bigger fish than the White House with its tiresome term limits and insistent people always to propitiate. Sarah aims for the very seat of St. Peter and a lifetime audience commanded to listen and obey... "A cry of defiance, and not of fear, A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door, And a word that shall echo for evermore..." The word of our Sarah urbi et orbi "In the hour of darkness and peril and need"... Amen! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

    Babe Ruth - America's Most Legendary Athlete And His Keen Pe

    Wednesday, August 15, 2012, 1:05 PM [General]

    Babe Ruth on Teamwork "The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime." - Babe Ruth About Babe Ruth Born in 1895,Shuriken school - China Wireless Mini CCTV Camera, Babe Ruth is perhaps the most well known athlete in the United States. Ruth was one of eight children, however, only he and a sister, Mamie, would survive infancy. Ruth's parents owned a small tavern and worked around the clock. This gave a young Babe Ruth the opportunity to behave as he pleased. As a child, Ruth often acted out and was frequently in trouble. As a result of his behavior, he was enrolled in a nearby parochial school called St Mary's Industrial School for Boys. Here, through the encouragement of a priest at the institution, Ruth was introduced to the game of baseball. By the time Ruth was 19 years of age, the Baltimore Orioles (then a minor league team) saw talent in Ruth and brought him on to the squad as a left-handed pitcher. Ruth excelled at pitching and was quickly picked up by the Boston Red Sox where he remained until 1919. By the time he left Boston, he was the best pitcher in the league. Some believe Ruth to be the best left-handed pitcher in the history of the game. Ruth was sold to the Yankees in what was considered a blockbuster deal where the Yankees gave the Red Sox $100,000. In exchange, the Yankees would get Ruth. At this point, Ruth was becoming more well known as a power hitter and was put in the outfield. In 1927,beijing escort, Ruth would hit an astonishing 60 homeruns. In 2001, Barry Bonds hit 73 homeruns to break the record. This was only 13 more than Babe and most speculate that Bonds was on some form of steroids. Ruth passed away in 1948. Building a Team and Making That Team Great Throughout history we have seen sports superstars fail again and again because they do not have a good supporting team. The same is true in business. One of the aspects I like most about recruiting is that we get to play some part in helping make my client's team better. The best way to hire is to think about the strengths and weaknesses of everybody on your sales and marketing team. What are your strong points? What are your weak points? The best type of managers transform their employees into a team. This does not happen overnight. Team members need to learn to trust each other and should feel that their main purpose is to work hard for the benefit of the group as a whole. Team members need to know that they can rely on each other. They need to know that if they are having trouble, they will receive help from their team members without judgment or fear of the other team members will complain to management. When you have a real team, you have little internal conflict. As the manager,escort beijing, you should be a part of that team. Even though you may be the quarterback, the quarterback is nothing without the other players. When hiring, it is best to have an open group discussion with the people whom you are managing and brainstorm about what the team needs to be more successful. For instance, if your team feels that they are losing to the competition when it comes to selling into a particular industry vertical, find somebody who specializes in it. As a manager, if you are simply hiring sales or marketing professionals without first consulting the team under you, you are damaging the dynamics of your support system and the business will suffer as a result.

    Bad Things Always Happen To God People, But Why Me

    Wednesday, August 15, 2012, 1:05 PM [General]

    This is a question that people have been probably asking since the beginning of time. Way back when Adam bit that apple and was kick out of paradise, I am sure that he said why is this happening to me? When Sol went through his bad luck journey as he lost his wealth, his health, and the precious material things in life, he had to break down sometimes and just wonder why me? When you or your love one discover that you have cancer or some incurable disease that is making your life pure hell while you waste away, I can understand why you would say, why me? When you lose your job, lose your home, lose your love one, or sometimes feel like you are losing your mind, you got to say why me? Why, oh Lord, why is this happening to me? I say unto you, that before you ask why, you first need to know what. You see, before I can tell you why bad things happen,beijing escorts, you first need to know what causes bad things to happen. People love to talk about good things, I been to many churches where all they ever seem to talk about is God. Yet to be able to fully understand the definition of something, you need to know the opposite of it to fully understand it. Like I say one word and you shout out the opposite. Hot, you say cold, good, you say bad, large, you say small, heaven, you say hell, God, and then you say Satan. For you see if I just talk about God, I will never be able to tell you why bad things happen to God people. You and I know that God is good, so if you have bad things happening around you, the first thing you should realize is that it has nothing to do with God, but just the opposite. Now, do you understand what I am getting at? Don get the two confused, where there is good on one end there is evil on the other. Just like there is a God who is all good, you must realize that there is a Satan who is all bad. In other words, don be trying to put Satan blame on my dear Lord. I have heard so many people looking bewildered just after a disaster has happened. A flood wipes out their neighborhood, a tornado tears down their church, cancer invade their body,Virus removal services in Nashville, Tennessee, or a child of there is born mentally or physically deformed. These bewildered people look at themselves and ask why did God do that? Listen closely, God did not do that, Satan did that. God can make it rain in order for your crops to grow, but Satan will take that rain and flood all your crops away. Why did God do this, don be ridiculous, where there is good on one side, there always lie evil on the other side. Where there is a Heaven above, there is, God children, a Hell below. Just like a magnet one side positive, the other side negative. Whatever God creates, Satan is always looking for a way to destroy it. I don want to scare you, I am not trying to frighten you, but Satan is something that most of us are afraid to talk about. Some of you think if you don talk about something or try to ignore that it exist, it might go away. Like a woman when she finds a lump on her breast and try to tell herself, oh it nothing. You see Satan is like an incurable cancer, you can ignore him if you want to, but he won go away. That is why you better always keep your guard up. Like a good trained boxer, you need to always have that left up, because you never know when Satan is going to throw a blow. A lot of good fighters have been TKO by a blow that they never saw coming. Satan keeps both of his fists up and ready just waiting for the right time to throw that hay-maker at you. He is always there patiently waiting for you to make that one mistake, so he can say..Bamm, I got ya! All throughout life you are going to get your bumps and bruises, believe me no matter how good you fight, old Satan always is going to get a few good licks in there on you. I don know of any good fighter who never got hit during a real fight. As any boxing coach will tell you, there is nothing wrong with getting hit, just don get knocked out. You are going to get hit, you might even get knocked down a few times, but God want you to get yourself up and get back in there and keep on fighting. For if you believe in God, you know that you are ready to walk through the valley of death and fear no evil. If you know God, then you must know that evil can harm what is precious to you and that is your soul. For Satan can hurt your body with blows and win a few rounds, but he can win the fight unless you give up and give him the title to your soul. Satan can hit you with cancer to eat away at your body, he can cause floods to wash away your crops, he can trick your love ones to turn on you and try to destroy you, and he can use those who worship him to steal and break into your home and harm your love ones. However, no matter what Satan does to you, he can win unless you give up. As long as you stay in the ring fighting him even if he got you backed up against the ropes. Just remember who got your back; just remember who is in your corner, for as long as you have God and you believe in him as much as he believes in you, Satan knows he can win. Now believe me, Satan is going to give it his best try, but as long as you keep jumping back up, no matter how many times he knock you down, believe me youl always be saved by the bell. Don give up, don let Satan win, he can only win if you stop fighting. As long as you stand up to him, no matter how many painful hits, no matter how many times he knock you to the canvas, as long as you are determine to get back up, he can win. Praise the Lord, and say Hallelujah, when times in your life get the hardest, that is when you prove your faith to God. Life isn easy and just like any good general in war, it is his best troops that he sends into battle. God only sends in his best soldiers to fight in Satan war. When you have cancer, no job, no home, no one,escort beijing, and Satan is staring down his barrel at you, this is the time to show your faith in the Lord. For ask not what God can do for you, but ask what you can do for him. Lord, you can count on me, I won let you down. Be proud to be a soldier in God army, scream out with love for God and don hesitate to volunteer for his army. Satan can only win, if you allow him to win. For I will walk though the valley of death and fear no evil. My body is only a worthless shield that protects the precious soul that God has given to me. Thank you God, thank you Lord, I will not let you down. Satan can throw his best shot at me; I will take it with a smile on my face. Satan can cause my body to rot away with cancer and disease, destroy my house, damage my children, have my love ones turn against me, but he will never win, for he will never get my soul. Why do bad things happen to God people, why you? Because Satan is not going after someone who is bad, he already got them. He going after the good, hoping that by causing them pain, by causing them losses, causing them deprivation, that they might give up hope, that they might lose their faith and turn away from God, long enough for him to get into them and destroy their soul. Don do it, you hear me, don do it! Fight the devil, don let the devil win. Fight Satan; fight him with everything you got. Hit him with your left fist, if he takes that one, hit him with your right. If he takes that one don walk away, but kick him with your left leg. If he takes your left leg, jump up and kick him with your right. If he takes that leg then spit at him and then roll your body to try to knock him down, but whatever you do, don ever give up. God loves you and to prove to him that you love him, you got to keep on fighting. Look Satan straight in the eye and say bring it on. Bring it on Satan; because I am ready, I am ready to rumble.

    The Real Da Vinci Code Vitruvian Man Helps Us Experience We

    Wednesday, August 15, 2012, 1:04 PM [General]

    We are spiritual beings (the Da Vinci form in a circle) having a material experience (the Da Vinci form in a square). Most of our problems arise from not being loved just the way we are. Accepting our value as a "human angel" means valuing each other more, which leads to greater feelings of inner peace, belongingness, union with the Divine, Divine Creation and all humanity. Leonardo said it best: "The outstretched arms and legs of a man form a square and a circle: the square symbolizes the solid physical world and the circle the spiritual and eternal. Man bridges the gap between these two worlds." -Leonardo Da Vinci, "The Magical Proportions of Man" Leonardo Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man (the Da Vinci Man with four arms and four legs in a square and circle)is the most popular secular symbol in the world. My 10 years of research suggests that the Vitruvian Man is a universal symbol for greater love, relationships, success, health and the new age 21st century paradigm of indivisible wholeness, the paradigm for world peace. A New Renaissance! The Da Vinci Man is a universal translator between scientific models (represented by the Da Vinci Man in the square) and religious symbols (represented by the Da Vinci Man in the circle). Therefore, the Vitruvian Man (Da Vinci Man) is a bridge between science and religion. There are amazing similarities between the sacred geometry of the Da Vinci Man, Yin-Yang, Star of David, Tree of Life, Christian Cross, Angels and Kabbalah. The Da Vinci Man resembles a person with angel wings. This makes sense since Leonardo designed the Da Vinci Man to be a bridge between heaven (the Da Vinci Man in a circle) and Earth (the Da Vinci Man in the square). This is why he referred to the Da Vinci Man as "Eternal Man" and the human form as "magical." It is also part of the reason why Leonardo was so fascinated by the flight of birds. Leonardo experienced that we are inseparably connected to Nature. The Da Vinci Man resembles the Divine Tetramorph and the Angelic Seraphim. There is also a remarkable similarity between the Da Vinci form and the Eagle on the Great Seal of the United States. I have found that the biggest problem in human relations is that we do not appreciate how incredible we are. Instead of appreciating our family, neighbors and friends, we sometimes try to find fault with them. Some think they have to change their neighbor, instead of seeing their neighbor as a holy temple and vessel for the Light of God within. Mother Theresa saw this light in everyone and treated each person as a representative of God. The famous therapist, Carl Rogers was renowned for treating each client with unconditional positive regard. If we all took this approach,beijing escort, individuals would start living up to our incredible expectations of them, instead of living down to our criticisms. Marianne Williamson said,beijing escorts, in a quote mistakenly attributed to Nelson Mandela, we are more afraid of our greatness than our smallness. We have been taught to believe we are separate from nature. Carl Rogers is famous for starting a therapy program that treated each person with unconditional positive regard, bringing out the angel in them. Even scientists agree that every electron is a particle and a wave. The wave form has omnipresence to it. That is why every body, at the subatomic level, is as huge as the universe. Inflationary theory also indicates that the universe once began as a seed much smaller than the nucleus of the atom. Since this was at the beginning of time and space, it explains why many saints are able to experience that they are eternal and the entire universe is inside of them. We are truly cosmic beings. At the subatomic level our body is made of light and connects with the entire universe. This means that, in reality, we are cosmic beings created in the Image of God. The experience of the subatomic level (or quantum level) is beautifully expressed in the Da Vinci Man, who is surrounded by a circle. The Da Vinci Man circled gives the impression of being smaller than small. At the subatomic level we, indeed, feel smaller than the smallest. The experience of our interconnectedness is beautifully expressed in the Da Vinci Man whose arms and legs fill the entire circle. As a result, we feel bigger than the biggest. At this level we are connected to the Angels of Light and the Divine within us. No longer are we our own personality, but the Divine through us. We are a vessel for God; a temple for the light of God. At the beginning of time and space we are ten-dimensional beings, connected to the entire universe. This is the most profound meaning of superstring theory of the unified field. The Da Vinci Man and Da Vinci Woman awards are to remind us that we are indivisibly whole. We are reminded to awaken to, and stay connected with, that field of life where we are one with the Divine, Divine Creation and all humanity. This will lead to greater inner peace, peace on earth and good will towards all. Scientists seem to indicate that the very nature of the atom and subatomic particles are universal and omnipresent. This would mean that the physical body, at its subtlest level, is also omnipresent. This is why the inner person is cosmic. We are waking up from the dream of classical physics where the human is limited. We are also human angels, with one foot on the ground and the other on the pedestal. It is our very humanness (the Da Vinci form in the square) that makes our Divine nature (the Da Vinci form in the circle) more real. When we are able to vent and release the emotions that bind us, we come to experience our own angelic nature. When we are authentically human, we drop the armor around us. This allows us to experience our angelic nature. In my experience we are 99% unbelievably incredible human angels. The rest is just like dust on the mirror. If we approached everyone in this manner, it would bring out the best in them,beijing escort, and we would truly appreciate the world as our family. We should all receive a Da Vinci Man Award or a Da Vinci Woman Award for being Human Angels! This would help us remember who we are as Angels having a human experience. This would uplift the consciousness of humanity and help usher in the 21st Century of Indivisible Wholeness, the paradigm for world peace.

    Metro Nashville Schools Promote Deserving Disadvantaged Stud

    Saturday, August 11, 2012, 9:07 AM [General]

    A Step in the Right Direction at Nashville Schools We're all familiar with the kinds of students who are projected to be potential leaders in high schools - the debate team member, the math club geek, the student council president. These are the stereotypical American leaders of tomorrow; lucky enough to have their special abilities recognized while they are still in school. But what of the other less visible role models? The kid with a stammer who has a lot to say if he could only get the words out clearly enough, the teenage mom with unlimited potential, even the kid at the back row who spends more time in detention than in class? You'd cringe at the thought of these students being portrayed as leaders and nobody would blame you. In a groundbreaking new program,A-Team Halloween Costumes Based on the Movie and t,beijing escort, Nashville schools believe that this exact group of "low on achievement but high on potential" students has the capabilities to make an impact on society. So confident are Metro Nashville schools that these students, if given a gentle nudge, can make equal or greater contributions to society that they are partnering with local community organizations to promote this belief. Identifying Role Models at Metro Nashville Public Schools Alignment Nashville, a group that aims to bring together Nashville schools and local community organizations like the YMCA, and Hands on Nashville, wants to create a more organized framework for co-operation between these bodies. Earlier well intentioned attempts to coordinate Nashville schools and voluntary organizations fizzled because of the unsystematic nature of the efforts. This time around the focus is on going beyond words to actual implementation. The organization has launched a couple of programs at two Metro Nashville Public Schools targeting students who possess leadership capabilities but are currently frittering away these abilities in other pursuits. In other words it aims to draw out the potential of at-risk teens who might not have otherwise had a shot at any roles in the school system, leave alone positions of leadership. Creating Unlikely Leaders at Nashville Schools This heartening initiative to empower students in Metro Nashville Public Schools who have been marginalized and draw them into leadership roles in the system works in a surprisingly simple manner. Staff is asked to nominate students they feel are currently on the fringes of the school, but could blossom given the right opportunities. The program then aims to target these students through reading programs, discussions, maintaining journals, enhancing problem solving and team work abilities. Students are encouraged to communicate successfully and respect diversity. Although it's still too early to gauge the success of this program,beijing massage, authorities at Metro Nashville Public Schools say changes are already visible. Students in the programs are already assuming positions in school bodies and clubs and even at other local organizations. In the long run, Nashville schools expect this commendable program to lead to fewer dropouts, decreased school fights and an overall enhanced school environment for all.

    Famous Stars And The Roles They Didn Get

    Saturday, August 11, 2012, 9:07 AM [General]

    Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Wars, The Godfather: there are some films so titanic so as to be preserved in the public conscious as pop cultural treasures. For films like these their stars cease to become actors and actresses and instead become part of the movie universe, inseparable from their characters from the first film trailer. But what if these immortal roles had belonged to someone else? Check out for the surprises in this list of the almost-cast that could have changed the history of these famous films. Raiders of the Lost Ark The moustachioed Tom Selleck auditioned for the role of Indiana Jones but it was Harrison Ford who eventually picked up the whip. The Godfather The Godfather had several almost-cast actors and actresses. Though Marlon Brando immortalised mobster Vito Corleone, Frank Sinatra, Laurence Olivier and Anthony Quinn were all considered. Robert Redford and James Caan were both in the running for Al Pacino part as Vito Corleone. Ann Heche auditioned for Mary Corleone. Star Wars The part of Han Solo will forever belong to young Harrison Ford but at the time several big name actors were considered including Christopher Walken and Kurt Russell. Sissy Spacek was originally cast as Luke Skywalker sister Leia, while Carrie Fisher was set to film Brian de Palma Carrie. But Fisher would not do the nude scenes in the horror classic and swapped roles with Spacek. The Terminator O.J. Simpson was offered the role of the Terminator was later ironically thought oo nice?to play the cybernetic killing machine. Schwarzenegger took over the part and played it pitch perfect with burly muscles and a limited Germanic vocabulary.

But after complaints about the conditions and a lack of face time he was fired from the project. Chicago Catherine Zeta-Jones won an Oscar for her portrayal of the murderous vamp Velma Kelly in the musical Chicago but for some time Madonna was considered for the role.

Kinda like Madonna at the Academy Awards.?Ouch. The Matrix Will Smith was originally offered the part of Neo in The Matrix but later turned it down.

    Why Should You Buy Plants From Local Nurseries

    Saturday, August 11, 2012, 9:07 AM [General]

    Why Should you Buy Plants from Local Nurseries? Why should a person buy from a local nursery versus going to the local big box retailer and buying the plants they have? Because of service, value,beijing escort, and information. Next time you need plants for the garden drive on down to the local nursery and meet the people who are in the business to give you the very best in service and information as well as a great plant. Big Box retailers have caught on that there are huge profits in selling plants to people. You've seen the rows and rows of flowers and small shrubs all neatly lined up. The prices are excelent but the selection is somewhat limited. There are problems when buying from one of these giant retaliers like having a bad experience because you took home a plant that looked great at the store but soon died because it was not watered properly. Now most Big Box stores do have a warranty so you can bring back your dead plant for a replacement but you do have to spend your time and gas to get the plant. How much is the time and gas worth to you? If you buy a $3.00 plant and you spend $3.00 to go back and get another was it really worth the savings you thought you had? This experience is very common especially with trees and shrubs. Trees and shrubs have a longer lifecycle so you may not see the damage from underwatering right away. Small plants show the damage right away so that is why if you look around you can usually find huge areas of dead plant material that they will ask the vendor to take away or sell at drastically reduced prices. You do get what you pay for in plant material. I have gone through the Big Box Store Nurseries and saw the employees giving inaccurate information just because of a lack of experience. People at Local Nurseries Love Plants. When you visit your local mom and pop nursery you are sure to find people who have invested their lives in the plants you are looking at. This is why most Landscapers buy from local nurseries. Their mortgage rides on the care and sale of those plants. Knowledge abounds about the plants available at local nurseries because their name and reputation rides on your experience. At Big Box Retailers the employees go home at the end of the day and nothing is at stake for them so obviously the care is a little less. At most local nurseries there is a greater variety of plants because these people love plants and they are willing to stock up on different interesting plants to try to sell. If you have questions you are sure to find a person willing to answer your questions as well as help you understand what you are buying and how to care for it. I would like to see more people shop at their local mom and pop nurseries because these people will give you plants that have been cared for properly, knowledge you will need,Manhattan Beach Homes- Beautiful Escapade,beijing escort, a caring friendly attitude that will make you want to come back again and again.

    Airplane Simulator Application, Download Only Or Disk Based

    Monday, July 23, 2012, 2:47 AM [General]

    The reason for the success of downloadable airline simulator applications is the file transfer speed increases which many domestic users have received. Games applications are very often huge applications, for the most part because of the level of graphic and audio files that they have to include. Witnessing how game titles have advanced through compact disk to digital video disc and then to Blu-ray, shows precisely how huge programs are getting. Download sizes unthinkable a couple of years in the past, are currently normal. That being said why might you choose a downloaded flying simulator? Obtaining the Simulator: Purchasing actual media is straightforward enough, you head off to a retail outlet and get it with a somewhat higher price, because the retail outlet needs to cover the cost of the shop. Based on the locality of the outlet this may take half an hour or perhaps a couple of hours, this means you get your programs pretty rapidly. This does not surprisingly depend on if the retailer has inventory for the simulator you'd like, therefore the selection could be poor. Knowledgeable buyers might purchase from an e-commerce store and save yourself some dough and find the goods they desired, but unfortunately then have to wait a few days or a number of weeks with regard to delivery. Electronically delivered airplane simulators don't run out of supply, tend to be immediately obtainable and don't need you to go out to purchase. Price: Pricing is a huge factor in the success of a computer game. Regardless of how good an airplane simulator you may have produced,beijing escorts, if your prices are exorbitant, people are not going to order. An enormous benefit from the downloadable flying simulator is that expenses are usually more affordable for the buyer due to lessened costs for the builders. Things like materials, manufacture, packing, storeroom as well as distribution. The costs of web server storage space and electronic supply for a download product are tiny when compared to actual media type. Storing. One other problem that accompanies real media is storage,beijing escort, one, 15, twenty titles and the storage is fine, however as soon as you go over this quantity, then storage for a large number of consumers may become a predicament. Shopping for a web-based aircraft simulator entirely negates this issue, hard disk drives stay the same physical size irrespective of their capability for storage. Physical media is also vulnerable to damage from the wear and tear of daily use. If the disc on which the simulator came get harmed, the probability is it'll be a problem to acquire a replacement unit. The unwillingness of vendors to permit a backup copy of a program disc be produced can also be a problem. Conversely an online simulator will allow you to keep the data file in multiple places and enables you to download and install the software again as required. Additional Content A substantial downside of physical media is remaining up-to-date, the version of the program you might have on disk is the version you will have to launch your install from. Game titles by their nature are constantly updated for bug fixes as well as in the aircraft simulator world airplanes and landscape improvements. When re-installing a downloadable simulator, you just setup the most recent version. An actual media usually requires the original media getting patched by a download, so why wouldn't you simply download to begin with. A downloadable solution is meant for frequent update and the providers experience is within this market. Changing to a fresh version of the software is therefore super easy. Physical simulators however when getting to their end of life, have a large number of items to dump,When Does Morning Sickness Start, When Does It End, hence they sell off out-of-date gold versions at bargain price tags to try and get back some capital. Hence, digital or disc based media? You select.

    Quick Response To Meningitis Can Save Lives

    Monday, July 23, 2012, 2:46 AM [General]

    Meningitis-the mere thought of an outbreak of this life-threatening disease can cause panic in a community. However,beijing escort, knowing the signs and symptoms of meningitis and acting quickly to get medical attention could save your life. Meningitis is an illness in which there is swelling of the meninges, the tissues that cover the brain and spinal cord. Viral or "aseptic" meningitis, which is the most common type, is caused by an infection with one of several types of viruses. In the United States, there are between 25,000 and 50,000 hospitalizations due to viral or "aseptic" meningitis each year. "About 90 percent of the cases of viral meningitis are caused by a group of viruses known as 'enteroviruses' and are spread through sneezing or close contact with an infected person," said Robert Breckenridge, M.D., FCAP of MAWD Pathology Group, Inc. in Kansas City, Mo. "While viral meningitis is serious, it is rarely fatal in persons with normal immune systems." Bacterial meningitis-meningococcal disease-is rare and much more serious than viral meningitis. In fact, it can be life-threatening if it is not treated early. Nearly 2,600 people in the United States get bacterial meningitis each year,Movie Review For W, and about 10 to 20 percent of them die. Lack of treatment for bacterial meningitis can result in brain damage, hearing loss, learning disabilities or death. Both types of meningitis are diagnosed by pathologists- physicians who examine fluids and tissues to diagnose diseases. They can determine through a spinal tap, also known as a lumbar puncture, whether a patient's spinal fluid indicates meningitis. "Anyone at any age can get the disease,escort beijing," said Dr. Breckenridge. "However, those at highest risk are infants; young people between the ages of 11 to 19; college students, who live in dormitories; refugees; military recruits; and people with weak immune systems." Some of the main symptoms of meningitis are a severe headache and stiff neck. In babies, the symptoms are not easy to identify, but may include fever, irritability, listlessness or refusal to eat. "In many instances, the symptoms of viral meningitis and bacterial meningitis are the same. For this reason, if you think you or your child has meningitis, you should go to a hospital emergency room immediately," said Dr. Breckenridge. "Early diagnosis and prompt treatment can save a person's life." Currently, there is no specific treatment for viral meningitis. Most people fully recover on their own with bed rest, plenty of fluids and pain medication. However, those infected with bacterial meningitis need medical attention immediately and are usually treated with antibiotics. "Exercising good personal hygiene-such as hand washing or sneezing into your sleeve rather than your hand-can help reduce your chances of becoming infected or spreading the disease," said Dr. Breckenridge.
