I have a flowerbed that is an awkward spot at the edge of a parking area. It gets full sun (average 25-30C) most of the summer but in winter all the snow gets pushed on top of it along with a fair bit of grit from the road. The snow doesn't usually melt until mid April as it is hard packed and frozen solid. The grit filters down and ends up in the flowerbed making the soil really poor quality.
I need suggestions for what plants will survive these conditions best or how to cover the area so it stays nice looking. It has to stay as a flowerbed, and pots wont work as it's near a road and they'd get stolen. We've tried rocks but they just seem to attract weeds which are hard to get out of the crevices...

I know I'm asking the impossible, but any advice would help! Thanks!

"Consider the fearful danger you are in; it is a great furnace of wrath, a wide and bottomless pit, full of the fire of wrath, that you are held over in the hand of that God, whose wrath is provoked and incensed as much against you, as against many of the damned in Hell. You hang by a slender thread, with the flames of divine wrath flashing about it, and ready every moment to singe it, and burn it asunder; and you have no interest in any mediator, and nothing to lay hold of to save yourself, nothing to keep off the flames of wrath, nothing of your own, nothing that you ever have done, nothing that you can do, to induce God to spare you.... The sovereign pleasure of God, for the present, stays his rough wind; otherwise it would come like a whirlwind, and you would be like the chaff of the summer threshing floor."

Explain the mood of this passage.

Using specific examples, give one example of a metaphor, one example of a simile, and one example of an allusion that Edwards uses in this passage from the sermon to elicit this particular mood.

Metaphor: A metaphor is a comparison of two unlike things without the use of like or as. For example: In the sermon the metaphor of loathsome insects describes sinners. The congregation's righteousness is compared to a spider's web. God is compared to an archer. What metaphor is used for Hell in the italicized passage?

Simile: A simile is a comparison of two unlike things using like or as. For example: "The wrath of God is like great waters that are dammed for the present." What similes are used in the italicized passage?

Allusion: An allusion is a reference to someone or something that is known from history, literature, religion, politics, sports, science, or some other branch of culture. Puritan writing makes allusions or references to specific passages from the Bible. As you read the sermon, locate the allusions to biblical verses and figures.

What specific words (minimum of three) does he choose to make his tone clear?

What images (pictures in the listeners' mind) does Edwards use in the passage to make his tone clear? What effect do those images have on establishing the tone of the piece?

In the last two paragraphs of the sermon (refer to the Investigate page of this lesson) Edwards talks about an "extraordinary opportunity" his congregation has. What is this opportunity? How does his sermon persuade the congregation to take advantage of this opportunity?

MOUNT HOLLY — A Pemberton Township man was in the country illegally and free on bail in another case when he wounded his ex-girlfriend and killed her boyfriend Saturday, a prosecutor said.

Jesus A. Avila, 22, a native of Mexico who now lives on Kinsley Road in Pemberton Township, shot Gilbert Parra and the 17-year-old girl outside a house on Washington Avenue in Burlington City, said James A. Ronca, deputy first assistant Burlington County prosecutor.

Ronca said Avila was in the United States illegally, but he did not know how long the suspect has been in the country.

Ronca said Avila killed Parra while free on $5,000 bail for creating a false public alarm. Ronca did not know the circumstances surrounding the charge, but state law says the charge can be filed against someone who initiates or circulates a false warning about a fire, a bomb or a similar emergency.

A judge yesterday kept Avila's bail at $1 million during the suspect's first court appearance since his arrest Saturday.

Avila was being held in Burlington County Jail on charges of murder, aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.
Ronca told Superior Court Judge Patricia Richmond LeBon that Avila has tattoos that identify him as a gang member. Ronca emphasized, however, that the killing was not related to gang activity.

After the hearing, Ronca said an argument that led to the shooting was prompted by Avila's harassment of the girl, whose name has not been released.

Police officers who responded to a 911 call of a shooting at about 3:10 a.m. found Parra lying outside the Burlington City house and the girl inside the house, prosecutors said.

Parra, 19, of Burlington City had been shot several times. He was flown by helicopter to Capital Health System's Fuld Campus in Trenton, where he was pronounced dead.

The girl was taken to Cooper University Hospital in Camden, where she treated for a gunshot wound to the ankle.

My boyfriend and I have been dating for over 2 years, and he's made it clear that he wants to marry me in a few years after we're both done school. The problem is that I don't think I could marry him. I'm extremely insecure about his ex-gf/current best friend who has repeatedly tried to break us up and has caused some major problems in our relationship. I just don't want to marry him and have to spend the rest of my life dealing with her, and I know he's not going to get rid of her because he doesn't understand how much pain her involvement causes me. The question is, do you think I should carry on the relationship, because I really don't want to break up with him, or should I just end it now and get the heartache over with? Am I being completely irrational about this?
