Black and white design for the home.
There is always something chic, hip, somewhat exotic and edgy while always stylish, about black and white. For those who think it might be a little to modern and minimal for you, I am here to say NO! Explore the photos below from Fancy to see how to make warm, inviting spaces from prominently black and white design.
White, clean kitchen design is perfect for pendant lighting.
This modern, light and airy kitchen uses gorgeous knotty wood flooring and bamboo countertops to bring warmth to an otherwise modern space. Adding a wood element like this is a great way to warm up a minimal black and white space.
This kitchen would look even better with the addition of some black or white kitchen pendant lights!
Relaxed and modern home design.
If you're lucky enough to have a backyard like the home above, I envy you! The abundance of nature all around flows inside the home due to the larger than life windows, adding an inviting, comfortable feel to a black and white living room.
Chunky throw blankets, interior plants and a natural wood stool go further to bring the outdoors in and make this space warm and inviting, unlike a lot of modern spaces.
Stylishly modern family room.
This simple, effortlessly cool family room makes the grey scale stylish and hip. The walls, doors, trim and ceiling all remain a clean, bright white, while variants of grey spatter the room, and small black accents pop among the subtle design.
If you don't want to be too drastic with your black accents, adding a few bold throw pillows or a black wall mirror brings depth to the airy space.
Black kitchen design.
When you have a rich floor color such as the amber wood floor above, mixing in black and white accents can make the space feel current and cool.
Crisp white walls and minimalist light furniture are contrasted with a bold, black kitchen that brings fun, modern style to the vintage space. Cool wall art adds pops to the monochromatic walls.

Chic contemporary Mexican style terrace.
Contemporary Mexican style embodies the earthy qualities found in the organic, Mexican landscape coupled with the current vernacular of modern interiors. Coco Cozy featured a modern Mexican home that I immediately fell for...hard.
I love the rough hewn textures that warm-up the simple lines of the residential design. Wide open rooms and patios make the space feel airy and large, while natural timbers, stone and warm terra cotta colors infuse the home with a cozy atmosphere.
A spacious contemporary Mexican home.
These interiors reflect the beautiful marriage of modernity and tradition. Modern chandeliers play off chunky wood and stone walls, while crisp-lined furniture has warm and inviting upholstery. This elegant balance works in both interior and exterior spaces as long as you keep things simple.
I happen to love the oversized weave style pendants in the courtyard and think a smaller version would look great in a kitchen. Hanging pendants are a great option for kitchen style lighting.
This simple aesthetic doesn't embrace any window treatment, however I would only advocate for this if you are not in proximity to neighbors.
The modern look of today's Mexican style home accessories.
1. The industrial Lacey Round Black Chandelier is the perfect counterpoint to warm color, wood and stone.
2. Add warmth to your kitchen with the Shaker Basket Weave Mini Pendant.
3. The Howard Elliott Small Stepped Natural Wood Pedestal reflects the timbers in the home featured above.
4. The Halsen Cognac Armchair combines modern design with warmth of the Mexican landscape.
5. The Classic Home Bermuda Terra Cotta Area rug echoes the color of the Mexican earth.

Fall inspiration, using apples.
If you're searching for fall decor inspiration, look no further than the seasonal flavors of Autumn! Interiors finds informed by the fruits and spices of fall evoke the cherished traditions and fond feelings that accompany this time of year.
For example, you can channel the fun of a trip to the orchard for some apple picking into your decor, as in this image from Local Milk. Or, you could incorporate the farmhouse wood finishes by selecting a handsome wood chandelier design for your dining room.
1. A throw pillow in the burnished hue of a ripe red delicious apples evokes the feeling of Fall.
2. Store your Fall fruit bounty on the counter with an fruit-themed decorative bowl.
3. The weathered finish of this wood mirror recalls the nostalgia of old apple buckets.
Fall inspiration, using pumpkin.
Perhaps you have treasured memories of choosing a jack 'o' lantern at the pumpkin patch, or baking that sweet pumpkin flavor into your favorite treats as seen on A Daily Something?
1. Echo the warm hues of fall gourds with a pair of wool cushions in toasty orange.
2. A ceramic pitcher keeps warm syrup at the ready at the breakfast table.
3. The woven pattern of a copper wall mirror recalls the gridded pockets of pumpkin waffles.
Fall inspiration, using hot cocoa.
Finally, who can say no to an afternoon with friends, chatting over steaming cups of hot chocolate—topped with cinnamon of course—as spotted on This Is Jules?
1. A patterned pillow brings to mind the swirling surface of a cup of cocoa.
2. Serve up your favorite hot beverage in one of these ceramic mugs.
3. Cinnamon sticks, which come from the bark of the cinnamon tree, have a similar texture to this reclaimed wood mirror.
With a little Autumn flavor inspiration, you'll soon have a home as toasty and warm as your favorite fall treats!

Light up your home's entryway this Fall with an outdoor LED light fixture. Whether it's for safety, reliability or just style, it's always the perfect time of year to think about updating your entryway light.
There's a checklist to follow when shopping for LED entryway lighting and I'll walk you through it.
A light fixture by an entry door is an essential design element for a safe and welcoming home. As our daylight hours are shrinking and kids are coming home later from after-school activities, that entry door becomes more like a revolving door of busyness.
Updating to a reliable and efficient entryway light might become even more important.
For example, this outdoor LED wall light has a bronze finish and frosted cream glass, with an output of 1,300 lumens which is equivalent to a 100-watt incandescent light bulb. It's available in sizes from 12, 15, and 19 inches, so you can pick a size that works for front, back or side doors.
The Hickory Point outdoor LED light
As you start shopping for your new LED entryway light, let's break down the technical features so you know what to look for. We'll look at the first three today and then review the rest in follow up posts
1. Reliability 4. Security 7. Solar Light
2. Color Temperature 5. Dark Sky Light 8. Dimming
3. Style 6. Up And Down Light 9. Wet Rated
Whenever I'm asked why LED light fixtures and light bulbs, my reason is reliability. This is especially important in places where it's difficult to replace light bulbs (high ceilings), or in places like an entryway where it becomes a safety issues.
LED's are my favorite for entryway lighting since there's no need to worry about the LED light bulb burning out for 20+ years.
Remember to choose the fixture that is right for you and what you want to illuminate. Everyone has a different opinion about what color of light (color temperature) is best for their home.
You've heard friends say things like: 'That light is too blue,' or 'Those new light bulbs give off a yellow light that makes everything look weird.' While those comments are completely justified, it's not a reason to cast-off LED light bulbs all together. You just have to know what temperature (color) is right for you.
When shopping for LED lights, you should know this - The lower the temperature, the warmer the light.
The color temperature of sunlight is about 5500K and it ranges all the way down to the low temperature of candlelight at about 1000K.
Hard to visualize? Think about the filters we use on Instagram and photo editing programs, you can change the 'white balance' on an image to see how images look a little bit warmer or cooler.
While specifications can narrow a search for the perfect outdoor LED wall light, style is still an important factor when choosing between the final options.
Luckily, the selection of outdoor LED light fixtures offers such a range of style choices. I'll be surprised if you can't find the perfect look for your home's entryway.
A. LBL Zari 11" High Silver LED Outdoor Wall Light B. Dwell Country Rust 13 3/4" High LED Outdoor Wall Light C. Pier 60 Bronze 14 1/2" High LED Outdoor Wall Light
A. Lighting is often described as jewelry in a home, and this fixture is spot-on. A silver finish, the wall sconce has sophisticated detailing. And it's dimmable!
B. If you're going for a more rustic, industrial look, this LED light might be for you. It has a country rust finish, and looks more like art than a traditional fixture. With 800 lumens (comparable to a 60-watt incandescent) it gives off enough light to make it functional. And it's dimmable!
C. Outdoor wall lights don't have to be lanterns or have a security-style look to them. This LED light fixture has a geometric pattern that adds visual interest to your entryway.
Stay tuned for our next post where we discuss more elements to look for when choosing LED lighting....

While turmeric is technically a spice, the color makes for a vibrant home accent that is a wonderful transition from Summer to Fall. Mix and Chic is such an upbeat blog that I had to go there for some color inspiration. Just as turmeric packs some punch in recipes and fine dining, so too does this color affect the overall feeling of a room.
It's amazing to think how color can amp up the energy of a room, but turmeric colored decor can do just that. I love how this color can act as an exclamation point when carefully used within a white or neutral space as seen above.
Additionally, using orange paint as an accent can highlight an architectural detail or draw attention to an otherwise overlooked spot in your home.
Turmeric can also be used to warm-up a space. From a cozy throw or pillow to a colorful shade on chic designer lighting, this hue also embodies the essence of Fall and the change of seasons.
Infusing a room with turmeric is also not necessarily an expensive prospect. A small detail like trim on curtains or even flowers will not set you back that much money but will look rich and designer-done.
For the more daring, you may want to consider investing in turmeric colored cabinetry, artwork or stylish mirrors. These statements are longer lasting and show your commitment to spicing-up your interiors.
1. Add some punch with a Cayenne Outdoor Pillow.
2. Illuminate with style using the Robert Abbey Pumpkin Triple Gourd Ceramic Buffet Lamp.
3. A daring kitchen should include the Possini Euro Strada Amber Art Glass LED Mini Pendant Light.
4. I love the warm and cozy feel of the Hilton Wingback Burnt Orange Faux Leather Accent Chair.
5. If you want the exotic look of Morocco, the Laguna Greek Key Orange Pouf Ottoman is perfect.
6. The Howard Elliott Oakvale Orange Wall Mirror is a playful way to dress up a monochromatic wall.

We haven't forgotten Pantone's color of the year, have you?! Radiant Orchid is perfect for outdoor decor, even if Summer is coming to a close.... Use this mood board above from The Sweet Occasion as inspiration.
If you haven't paid attention to your outdoor design yet, you should, no matter what time of year it is. You can start with purple outdoor furniture and lots of planters to ensure a stylish outdoor design.
Here's some specific ideas to help you embrace the color of the year:
1. Set of 4 Zuo Silvermine Outdoor Purple Bay Chair
2. Set of 4 Zuo Repulse Outdoor Purple Bay Chair
3. Big Wave Purple Round Outdoor Folding Table
4. Resort Sawyer 25450 Purple Indoor/Outdoor Area Rug
5. Grape Ikat 24" Wide Surya Pouf Ottoman

A warm and modern Asian style dining room.
Modern Asian interiors are a clean and simple interpretation of one of the most beloved interior design schemes around. I found a selection of interior images on Lonny excels when it comes to putting together.
While Asian homes have always been about simplicity, restraint and elegance, the export trade has turned decorating with Asian items into an explosion of pattern and color.
Chinoiserie wallpaper and fabric features a riot of colors and the overuse of blue and white porcelain has is dire. I say stick to the basics if you want to be true to this style and if so, you will naturally create a modern space.
You can use pops of color to achieve an Asian-inspired home.
While these rooms appear to be architecturally contemporary, there are colorful Asian-style touches that are rooted in classic design but are thoroughly updated.
Rice paper lighting style reflect timeless screens, and bright pops of red are reminders of Feng Shui symbols of power and love. You can include colorful table lamps for the perfect color pop.
Monochromatic contemporary interiors with Asian style art.
Crisp white walls are another ingredient of the modern Asian interior. Furniture is kept simple and the cushions monochromatic. Naturally color does play a role but more supporting than lead.
While I still love color, simple white shades and super-contemporary lights work beautifully in this interior.
Warm and cozy bedrooms with Asian artistic touches.
If you intend to keep your rooms monochromatic, you may wish to incorporate Asian art or carved rectangular mirrors to breakup the look.
Simple natural-themed patterns on a silk throw or pillow will truly make a statement as will a figural lamp that can look quite sculptural on an unadorned table, placed up against a white wall.
1. The bright Glenarden Rectangular Red Wall Mirror captures many of the Feng Shui elements.
2. Like the silk found in a kimono, the Red Dahlia Grey Pillow would look beautiful on a bed or sofa.
3. Looking for a modern take on Asian bamboo? The Rivoli Navy Porcelain Table Lamp is just the thing.
4. I like the mix of Asian and high glamour in the Safavieh Rory Silver Leaf Accent Table.
5. The Varo Black Yarn Wrapped Table Lamp has a time-honored modern Asian and quite lyrical shape.

Have you ever wanted to live in a doll house? Well, that's essentially how the cottage chic style can make your home feel.
It's an interior design style where furniture, lighting and decor are elegantly distressed to create an antique appearance. Some pieces are in fact antique, but even the newer elements appear old in a charming way. The look is quaint, comfortable and vintage. It usually involves a soft color palette, soft textures and a graceful aesthetic.
Cottage chic chandelier style idea.
One of the prettiest ways to dress up a cottage chic home is with elegant, transitional style chandeliers like this pretty living room above from Dreamy Whites.
This charming look is not only perfect for your quaint home, but also for entertaining. Vintage chic weddings located in barns are very popular. They create a casual environment while still allowing everything to feel pretty. This space from Amy Neunsinger is a perfect example.
Vintage chic barn style entertaining with a delicate chandelier.
These chic spaces include chandelier styles that are never overdone, they're minimal and understated, like in this kitchen below from Harrison Design Associates.
This Quorum La Maison Grey Chandelier features candelabra style lights, perfect for the vintage chic look.
Vintage style kitchen with chic lighting.
There are some departures from the cottage chic decor that can lean toward "Victorian". This would include a darker color palette and elements that are not quite as delicate. For example, take a look at this living below from Amy Neunsinger.
For a more Victorian take on the cottage style, try this damask pattern chandelier or cage style chandelier.
The darker wall color, slightly heavier furniture and lighting take this look from cottage to Victorian.
Chic style living room with Victorian feel.
You can also style your outdoor patio with cottage chic decor. Take the bird cage style chandelier one step further since the outdoors is perfect for bird cages. This outdoor space from My Romantic Home is so pretty.
This Quorum birdcage pendant light is perfect for a chic outdoor patio.
Lots of pretty flowers and a little outdoor furniture make this location perfect for afternoon tea and relaxing with a good book.

So, never give up your dreams of living in a doll house, it's quite possibly actually!

Houndstooth (n.) "a large overall checked pattern with notched corners typically used in cloth for fabric or suits."
~adapted from the Oxford Dictionary.
Typically a menswear fabric, houndstooth can be used to decorate furniture as well. Like these stools recently featured in Lonny magazine.
But why stop at stools?
Houndstooth is everywhere these days. You can even find it on stylish table lamps, like these two below. Or lots of fun pet products too.
Natural Light Houndstooth Woven Abaca Table Lamp / Buddy Miniature Terrier Table Lamp
Used on sofas and chairs and curtains and rugs and throws and walls....houndstooth is a current trend for this fall.
Decorating with houndstooth....here's some ideas and suggestions for adding it to your decor.
Why not?
Nothing updates a traditional pattern more than pairing it with a bold vibrant color like pink, as in this seating arrangement featured in Apartment Therapy.
Start with accent seating and layer in the houndstooth texture, like this arm chair to create a twist on a tradition.
Crystal Keltic Oreo Houndstooth Upholstered Armchair
A brilliantly patterned houndstooth rug anchors an eclectic mix of decor in this room featured in Apartment Therapy.
Using pattern and color on the floor creates a visual that is playful and fun.
Carry the theme further by echoing the pattern with textiles and furniture in the room.
Houndstooth fabrics are a great way to create a mood in a room, as in this space featured in Traditional Home.
Pair the fabric with leather and smoky gray walls to create a warm welcoming space with traditional flair.
Then add a some textured pieces, like a patterned ottoman or cashmere throw to complete the look.
Anaei Large Keltic Oreo Houndstooth Pouf Ottoman / Chocolate/Creme Houndstooth Cashmere Blend Throw Blanket
Here's how I used houndstooth in my dining room at Thistlewood Farms.
I started with a basic small-patterned houndstooth fabric and added it to the dining room chairs.
A little of the fabric paired with a floral patterned rug and neutral walls really brings the room to life.
So whether it's bold or simple or full of color or a basic neutral.....houndstooth works in any decor.
Menswear fabric.
It's not just for suits any more.

It's boot wearing, leaf crunching, spiced cider drinking weather. It's time to transition our home decorating ideas from Summer to Fall.
Here's a few Fall decorating tips:
As the days get shorter and we find ourselves in the dark earlier, quality light fixtures in our design becomes even more important. You can add a vibrantly colored jewel toned lamp for warmth and color.
Another sure fire way to bring on a cozy fall home is by lighting a roaring fire and raising a glass in a toast.
Crisp fall weather calls for places to curl up. Stacks of accent pillows and cozy throws are perfect for curling up with a hot chocolate and a good book.
Swap out you wall art with warmer colors or consider displaying a collection of pressed leaves.
Instead of a vase full of flowers, cut a few vibrantly colored branches and add them to your favorite pitcher or display a basket full of firewood on the hearth. Fill a big wooden bowl with gourds, pumpkins or pears for a simple centerpiece.
Think suede, velvet, and nubby knits on a sofa and layer bedding to create levels of warmth and color.
Incorporate natural wood accents to add character to any room. Whether it's an antique dresser turned into a media cabinet, a tree stump used as a unique side table, or a chunky wooden tray to set on top of an ottoman, the natural tones of wood will warm up your space instantly.
Nothing beats the smell of freshly baked pie but you can fake it with a heavenly scented Fall candles.
If your windows are bare or covered in sheers, hang heavier drapes with more color and textures while keeping the cold at bay.
Switch out any coastal accessories and display more earth-toned pieces in interesting textures like copper or tarnished silver.

All Hail Yani Tseng! Oakley Golf Star Takes Founders Cup Despite Wild Arizona Weather
Oakley golf sensation Yani Tseng weathered (yes, pun intended) some serious conditions at the Scottsdale, Arizona based Founders Cup to secure her second LPGA title in four events on the year. Her victory at the Wildfire Golf Club also marked her 14th career LPGA victory. Did we mention she's only 24 years old? Tseng's remarkable rise to the top of the LPGA is a true testament to her hard work and determination on and off the course.
Tseng finished an extraordinary tournament with a four-under 68 final round, one stroke ahead of fellow Oakley teammates, Na Yeon Choi and Ai Miyazato, who tied for second. With a weekend total of 18-under par, Tseng proved that the heinous Arizona weather was no match for her skills on the course. Dodging freezing rain, hail, wind and lightning, Tseng outlasted the competition in the end. Mother nature caused so much havoc over the weekend that the final day action didn't begin until 8:30 a.m., with the leaders teeing off around 10:40 a.m. After an over eight hour day on the golf course due to the delays Tseng two putted for par from 40 feet, practically in the dark, to hold off Miyazato and Choi for the win.
"It was a little drama out there," Tseng said about the strange conditions and timespan of the tournament. "I was feeling like we were going to finish tomorrow [Monday], so we were really lucky to finish today and finish in the dark the last few holes. I couldn't see much of a distance, so I tried to keep to myself, 'OK, just finish these few holes, just hit a good shot, good contact, play one shot at a time.'"
Tseng definitely followed her own advice and did play one shot at a time, ultimately outlasting stiff competition from Choi and Miyazato.
"She's amazing," said Choi of Tseng. "She plays so well. She never looks nervous or if there's pressure on her…I don't know who can stop her right now. She hits it really far. Me and Ai, we tried our best, but she's pretty far away from us."
Tseng is well on her way to defending her title as the LGPA leader in victories from the previous year. Based on the comments from other players on the tour, it is clear that Tseng is a proven champion and definitely the girl to beat.
Congratulations to Tseng on another impressive victory and to Choi and Miyazato for rounding out the top three spots of the Founders Cup. Good luck to all on the rest of the tour!

Jeff Summitt Expounds His Re-Gripping Wisdom To Save You Time & Money
For those fortunate to live in the southern climes to enjoy golf year-round, you might be surprised that many golf courses in the
3 Comments on Looking To Save Time & Money Regripping Your Clubs? Great Re-Grips Tips Here!
I would like to know the effects of getting grips too large in size.
Contrary to many out there, I don't find that it will cause you to slice or fade the ball. If anything, it is simply a feel issue where is don't feel natural and you may want to re-position the grip in your palms rather in your fingers.
David, I bought a Nike SV GW off eBay with an oversized Avon Chamois grip. My experience swinging it out in the yard was that I felt like my wrists were locked in place, and had a hard time rotating through impact. Chipping seemed easier, because of the locked wrists, but everything else about it just felt wrong.
That's my take, though. Who knows- give them a try! Maybe you find out you don't like them, maybe you find out they change your game for the better. But at least you'll know.

Lady Gaga 's new album ARTPOP is due out early next year, but it looks like fans may get more than they expected from the star: she's considering releasing not one but two volumes.
In a chat with fans on her social networking website LittleMonsters.com, Gaga wrote, "The album is not one kind of music and I think I'm going to release 2 volumes ARTPOP Volume 1 [and] ARTPOP Volume 2. Would put [out] second volume maybe like 6 months after first?"
Explaining the need for two versions, Gaga continued, "Sort of thinking that VOL1 should have all the commercial songs and then save the experimental material. But to be honest, even the experimental stuff is catchy. It's just a bit more modern and you never know if radio is ready."
She used the words "hardcore glam" to describe some of the album's sound, and added that ARTPOP is "nothing like Born This Way but it will feel like a piece the way [that album] did."
In addition, Gaga says she's written two dance songs that were inspired by the fact that her concert was banned in Indonesia earlier this year. "They're more metaphorical, conceptual, about bringing people together," she explained.
Finally, Gaga revealed that the new song she performed in concert several months ago, "Princess Die," didn't make the album, but added that she's written "another version of Princess Die that is uptempo, totally different song, that might." When asked why the first version didn't make the cut, Gaga said simply that it "isn't as good as all the other songs I wrote."

Health & Wellness Center
Bethel strives to develop whole and holy persons—not just mentally, socially, and spiritually—but also physically. The proposed state-of-the-art Health & Wellness Center will help the our community do just that—giving students the space to exercise regularly and our growing exercise science program the tools they need to develop skilled professionals for careers in health and wellness.
Additionally, the Health & Wellness Center will allow Bethel to better compete with similar universities, providing a key recruitment tool for undergraduate students.
The Need
Due to space constraints, primarily sports teams use our limited fitness facilities. Students are encouraged to use off-campus fitness centers at their own expense, which lessens their community experience.
The Health & Wellness Center plan calls for an addition onto existing buildings that will boost the availability of workout space for Bethel students and provide much needed classrooms and additional space for multiple needs.
- Enhance Bethel's recruitment efforts and create a competitive advantage
- Provide space for strength training and conditioning for student athletes
- Offer expanded exercise opportunities to all students
- Provide much-needed general purpose classrooms
- Greater sense of community
Between the north side of the Robertson Center (RC) and the Hagstrom Center (HC)
The Health & Wellness Center project is expected to cost $20 million. The goal is to raise at least $10.6 million in gifts and commitments to start construction. Construction is expected to begin in summer 2014.

Going into the 55th annual Grammy Awards this Sunday night, the only thing that's certain is uncertainty. Unlike last year, when Adele was nominated in every category and it was a foregone conclusion that she'd sweep them all, this year's potential winners are much less obvious.
This year, there are six different acts who've received six nods each --the band fun. , rappers Jay-Z and Kanye West , R&B singer Frank Ocean , Dan Auerbach of alternative rockers The Black Keys and British folk rockers Mumford & Sons -- so the field is sort of wide open. That's why ABC News Radio turned to some experts to predict what they think will happen come Sunday night in the major Grammy categories.
Record of the Year
Yahoo! Music's Paul Grein , a member of the Recording Academy's Hall of Fame committee, says the choice is clear to him in this category. "The record to beat for Record of the Year is 'Somebody That I Used to Know,'" he tells ABC News Radio. "From the first time I heard it last spring, I thought that it just has the sound of a Grammy Record of the Year winner. It was the biggest hit of the year."
But People magazine's music critic Chuck Arnold disagrees: he's going with Taylor Swift 's "We Are Never, Ever Getting Back Together" in that category. "[She] had a huge song. She's a big face at the Grammys. She's won a ton before and this is a song that crossed genres," he explains. "So, you know, you're gonna have the country block voting for this as well as the pop block."
Best New Artist
Grein says in this category, where the nominees include fun., Frank Ocean, country star Hunter Hayes , folk rock act The Lumineers and alternative rockers Alabama Shakes , he thinks one act has the edge, thanks to their chart success and their many nominations in the most prestigious Grammy categories.
"I think fun. is probably the frontrunner just by virtue of the fact that it's nominated in all four of the big four categories," Grein says, referring to Record, Song and Album of the Year and Best New Artist. "Frank Ocean's nominated for three of the four. It's between those two. But I think fun. just had such a huge year, they're probably the act to beat here."
And People's Chuck Arnold thinks that fun. is likely to be carting home armloads of Grammy statuettes on Sunday night. "They are nominated in all of the big four categories, and I think they have a really good shot at winning at least three of them," he predicts. "So, I think that they're probably the ones that have the best shot at taking home, say, three or four Grammys."
Album of the Year
One of the most critically-acclaimed albums of the year has been Frank Ocean's Channel Orange , but Yahoo!'s Grein says he's no longer convinced that it's the frontrunner for the Album of the Year category. "I initially, thought that Frank Ocean would have a good chance, and he has some chance, but his record sales haven't really kept pace with his critical acclaim," Grein predicts. "I think it'll be Mumford & Sons."
Arnold, however, thinks that Ocean will win simply because the other nominees in the category: fun., Mumford & Sons, The Black Keys and alt-rocker Jack White , are all rock-based performers. "Because of the rock votes possibly splitting on the other four nominees there, I really think he has a great shot at Album of the Year," predicts Arnold.
Best Pop Solo Performance
This is a competitive category, with Kelly Clarkson , Adele , Katy Perry , Rihanna and Carly Rae Jepsen all fighting it out for the win. Common sense would dictate that Adele, who's up for a live version of "Set Fire to the Rain," would win, because, well, she won everything last year and the Grammy voters love her. But Grein says that's no guarantee of future wins.
"Often, the year after you sweep, you don't win again because people think, 'Enough, Enough already. Let's wait 'til her next album,'" he points out, predicting, "I'm going to go with Kelly, even acknowledging how strong Adele is." Why? Grein says that "everybody loves Kelly," and everyone can relate to the message of empowerment of the song she's nominated for: "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)."
Performances vs. Wins
The Grammys telecast will feature 19 different musical performances, and only a fraction of the actual awards being handed out on camera. That's because when it comes to the bottom line, performing on the show can guarantee an artist a better return than simply taking home a trophy.
"If you have a great performance, that'll probably do more to sell records than to win," says Grein. As an example, he cites Mumford & Sons, who were on the telecast a couple of years ago. They didn't win anything, but their sales skyrocketed afterwards thanks to their performance. "You know, the best combination is to both win and perform," says Grein. "But if you have to do one or the other, I'd say perform."

AUBURN, Ala. – Georgia's football team heartily celebrated its SEC East-clinching victory over Auburn late Saturday night, first by rushing to a corner of the end zone to share the moment with a large contingent of joyous UGA fans and then by "going crazy" — quarterback Aaron Murray's description — in the locker room.
"It's huge to win the East in back-to-back years," Murray said. "It's not an easy thing to do."
Even so, Georgia players and coaches said their celebration was accompanied, if not subdued, by thoughts of larger goals still within reach: winning the SEC Championship game in Atlanta and, if a lot of things fall their way, playing in the BCS title game in Miami.
"We had fun celebrating the victory, winning the East," UGA coach Mark Richt said. "But I think there is a little different feeling in everybody's spirit that Atlanta is not the end of the road, we hope."
Winning the East "is not as satisfying this time because I feel like last year our destiny was to get to the SEC Championship game. This time, it's to win it," Georgia wide receiver Tavarres King said. "We don't want to just be there. We want to win the whole thing."
Said safety Bacarri Rambo: "This is just a ticket to the Dome. Now we've got to go there and handle business."
The 38-0 win over Auburn completed Georgia's SEC schedule with a 7-1 league record, matching Florida for the best mark in the East and earning the division's berth in the Georgia Dome on Dec. 1 because of a victory over the Gators. Georgia won't know its opponent for sure until Nov. 24, when previously No. 1-ranked Alabama, which lost to Texas A&M on Saturday, can clinch the SEC West by beating Auburn (2-8, 0-7 SEC).
Georgia annihilated Auburn, which is having its worst season in 60 years just two years after winning the national championship. The Bulldogs scored touchdowns the first four times they had the ball and shut out the Tigers for the first time since 1976.
The win was Georgia's 19th in its past 22 games, including 19-1 in regular-season games — a run that began after an 0-2 start last season followed a 6-7 record in 2010.
"It's crazy how far we've come as a team over the course of these last three years," King said.
Beating Auburn to clinch the East put the Bulldogs back where they were at this point a year ago, but they hope the scripts will diverge in the Dome. Last year, Georgia lost to LSU 42-10 in the SEC title game.
That outcome fed into the Bulldogs' reaction to repeating as division champion. Yes, it's nice, they said. But not enough, they added.
"We are excited about it, and I don't want to belittle in any way, shape or form winning the East, because it's a big deal," Richt said. "There are six other teams that would love to have done it. I just think we really feel like since we were there last year and didn't do very well — we played well for a half and didn't do much the second half — that we want to play better, have a better performance."
Said linebacker Jarvis Jones:"We're going to keep working until we get to Atlanta, and hopefully we can play some big-time ball."
The back-to-back berths in the SEC title game certainly would have seemed unlikely to most observers amid the Richt-on-the-hot-seat chatter of 2010 and early last season.
"There's going to be some hard days, and you've got to be tough enough to battle through it," Richt said. "We have done a good job of weathering a little bit of a storm. A couple of years ago, and even at the beginning of last season, there were a lot of doubters. And we just kept it together."
Georgia has two regular-season non-conference opponents remaining — Georgia Southern and Georgia Tech, both in Athens. Then the SEC title game and who-knows-what beyond that.
"These next two weeks can put us in position to meet more goals than what we've got already," UGA defensive coordinator Todd Grantham said. "What we've got to do is continue to work and develop and improve and let the chips fall as we move forward."

BCS Champ is about the best TEAM.
UGA, BAMA, K STATE, all have a total great TEAM, offense top 20 in scoring + defense top 20 in scoring.
K State, Oregon, or Notre Dame doesn't play three top five teams like UGA does.
Notre Dame's offense is 74th in scoring, and they have won 5 games by a hair, Purdue 20-17, BYU 17-14, Pitt 29-26, Notre Dame isn't a good TEAM.
Oregon's defense is 54th in total yards, not good enough to leap ast UGA and Bama.
Bad "half a team", going undefeated in weak conferences are not better than great whole 1 loss teams in the best conference.
November 11th, 2012
2:50 pm
Good points, A.J.
BCS won't see it that way, of course. Too many people want the SEC out of the picture. Besides, it is really very hard to argue with all wins and no losses.
UGA can win out (maybe), and get lucky (maybe), but we all know where we'd be had we done the job in Columbia. Losing the way we did hurt us badly, as have some of our wins. Hard, too, to give UGA much credit for a victory over the worst team in the SEC.
Win the next three. Play well against whoever the opponent after that is. That's all we can do.
Of course, winning the next three is far, far from in the bag. Any of the three can, on a great day for two of them, beat us. Alabama is still a very, very good team; maybe better for the loss, maybe not.
Go, Dawgs!

Really wierd all the 1-2 loss BCS Champions:
Spurrier, 12-1 in 1996
USC, 12-1 in 2003
Fla, 13-1 in 2006
LSU, 12-2 in 2007
Fla, 13-1 in 2008
Ala, 12-1 in 2011
But somehow, if UGA wins the SEC, finishes 12-1, and doesn't get invited to the BCS Champship?
November 11th, 2012
3:00 pm
All those voters didn't vote in 13-0 Boise St, over 13-1 Florida in 2006
13-0 Utah, over 13-1 Florida in 2008

McGarity better be mounting a campaign right now to get UGA in, if it wins the SEC.
Better be telling the alumni to vote UGA champs in all polls.
Compare past 1 loss teams to UGA.
McGarity better do his job and get UGA fair shot at the title.

By the way, all of you who think that Alabama losing will hurt Georgia's chances to get to the NCG are WRONG. Actually, it will benefit UGA. Why?
1 – UGA was not going to the NCG without 2 of the 3 unbeaten teams losing no matter how highly ranked Bama will be when we play them. Even if we upset #1 Alabama, the biased folks at ESPN will not let the Dawgs leap 2 undefeated teams, no matter what. Get this in your heads. It wasn't going to happen. We still need 2 out of 3 unbeatens to lose, nothing has changed. Now when we play them, even if they are #4, if there is only one unbeaten team left, then if we beat them we will get to #2 and will make it to the NCG.
2 – NOW that Bama has lost 1 game, the national media are forced to prematurely have the conversation about whether a 1-loss Bama team should leapfrog any unbeatens. Now, some in the media are going to say "yes, they should, if they win the SEC." Because of this, the media is starting the conversation early, so if many of them for some reason are saying "yes, the SEC is so hard, and a one-loss SEC Champion deserves to play in the NCS (referencing Bama of course, not UGA)" they are setting themselves up for contradiction if and when UGA wins the SEC.
3 – Bama fans are the most obnoxious fans in the SEC. They're starting to get more annoying than Florida fans and that's saying something. It's great to see them put back in their place and great to see them depressed. Now they have to go back to their crappy trailers and broken dreams in one of the most boring, racist, depressing states in the country. My black heart derives so much glee at this prospect.

Forget the dome for now. Better now overlook either of the next two games. All 11 games are just warmups for the insects. Lets put a whipping on them in Athens that they won't forget. Otherwise playing in the SEC championship game is moot.
November 11th, 2012
4:44 pm
Notre Dame (USC), Oregon (Stanford, Oregon St. and either USC again or what would be a 10-2 UCLA) and Kansas State (Baylor and Texas) have some work ahead of them to remain unbeaten.
November 11th, 2012
4:45 pm
McGarrity cannot get UGA in the title game over 2 undefeated teams from the Big 12, Pac 12, or Notre Dame. Period. So ESPN doesn't have to keep us out… and there's justice to that. 12-0 beats 11-1.
BUT if there's only one undefeated team then the SEC champ should be playing them. Personally, I wasn't sure if we'd be ahead of Bama even if we beat them if they went in to SECCG 12-0. So in that sense their loss was good for us.
If we somehow win out and 2 undefeateds lose, we just need to watch out for Florida State jumping us if they beat Florida.

Here you foold go again. We whip the worst team in the SEC and we're gonna win the MNC!!!!!
Shut up already. Wait to see what happes. These Dawgs have proven they could definitely lose to Tech. That would not be a huge upset. This Ga team is jusy scary to wacth…scary in a bad way. Like…who's going to show up.

Winning in college ball is NEVER enough anymore. You have to have ESPN style points.
UGA, ranked #4 in the BCS, won't even get regular coverage against Ga Southern and ESPN 3 will likely black it out in favor of the pay-per-view where it costs no less than $100 to watch.

If any of the three unbeatens remain unbeaten and the SEC doesn't get represented yeah, maybe a travesty but, that is the way the cookie crumbles. The BCS is a strange bird. It might happen even if they do remain unbeaten. After 6 straight titles and 5 in the top 10, it is difficult to understand how the SEC winner can be left out.

Sowegadawg, I hope your right. I feel the only way a UGA team gets to the title game is to be undefeated . The same rings true for every SEC team except Bama ,UF, LSU, and maybe UT. Poltics . The only hope is Oregon loses in the PAC 12 championship game, and UGA might get taken if their SEC champs. Kansas state has no championship game but if they lost to texas would they still be conf champs? I could see a one loss Kansas st team going ahead of a one loss UGA SEC champ team. SEC burnout is what they would keep bringing up. Now I don't agree with that but have witnessed too many teams getting screwed.

A paralegal, qualified through education, training or work experience, is employed or retained by an attorney, law firm, government agency, corporation, or other entity to perform substantive and procedural legal work under the ultimate direction and supervision of an attorney or as authorized by administrative, statutory, or court authority. Paralegal Experience Paralegal experience shall mean the performance of substantive legal work, non-clerical or non-adminstative in nature, that absent a paralegal, an attorney would perform. (Adopted by the Committee on Paralegals of The Missouri Bar, November 9, 2001). What education should a paralegal have? 1. Formal legal education - The American Association for Paralegal Education (AAfPE) and the American Bar Association (ABA) have endorsed minimum standards for paralegal education. An educational program approved by the ABA must require no less than 60 hours of classroom study. AAfPE has endorsed the ABA's minimum standard and has developed a model set of core competencies for paralegal education. 2. Content The formal education of a paralegal should include: (a) instruction in professional ethics; (b) legal research; (c) analysis of legal materials; (d) knowledge in drafting legal documents; (e) knowledge of judicial and administrative procedures; (f) knowledge of substantive areas of law; (g) knowledge of law office systems and technology; (h) oral and written communication skills. 3. Degree Levels Formal education for paralegals is available in a wide variety of formats. Colleges, universities, community colleges and proprietary institutions provide the following types of educational credentials: (a) post graduate (both master's in legal studies and post-graduate certificates); (b) baccalaureate degrees (i) specific bachelor's degree in legal studies;
Bluetooth wireless technology (BT) operates in the unlicensed Industrial, Scientific, Medical (ISM) band in the 2.4GHz frequency range. It randomly uses 79 1Mhz wide channels ranging from 2.402MHz to 2.480MHz. Each channel is occupied for a maximum time slot of 625us. During this time the radio must change the operating frequency, receive or transmit data, and provide enough off time before switching to the next hop frequency. In reality, the time the radio is actually transmitting on a given channel is much less and is dependent on the amount of data being transmitted. WIFI WiFi or 802.11 b/g, also operates in the same ISM band as BT. Due to complicated modulation techniques, 802.11g channels are 20MHz wide while 802.11b channels are 22MHz wide. This means a common WiFi channel can occupy from 20 to 22 BT channels. COURTESY: HTTP://EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG/ WIKI/IEEE_802.11B-1999 INTERFERENCE For an RF signal to be received by the radios receiver, the RF signal must contain enough energy to be detected by the receiver circuit. The minimum receive level is known as the receivers sensitivity. This is similar to the lowest whisper that a human ear can detect. What if there happens to be two signals present at the same time and both are greater than the receiver's sensitivity? Which signal will the radio detect? One would think that it would not be able to correctly detect either signal. That would be true if both signals are close to the same power level. If one signal had a higher power level than the other signal by a specific amount, the radio would be able to detect the more powerful signal. This is similar to a human ear being able to clearly understand members at a dinner table while there are many others talking at tables that are further away. The minimum ratio of power level for two signals when a radio can correctly detect the desired signal is known as the carrier/interferer ratio, or C/I. This means that two RF signals can exist on the same frequency at the same time without causing interference if the ratio of their power levels meet the radios C/I specification.

We'll also talk about the standards battle making it hard for consumers to jump into the connected home. What do you need for the Internet of things? It's not entirely clear yet, but what we do know is that right now there are several ways to connect devices to the home network but a consumer doesn't really want to have to wonder how to connect a Zigbee thermostat to their home Wi-Fi network. That's why router startup Securifi has produced the Almond+ router that aims to build a home network-capable router that will include Wi-Fi, Zigbee and Z-Wave controlled by a touch screen. The goal is to automatically connect sensors into your home network much like you can bring in a Wi-Fi capable device and have it just work when you bring it onto the network. Permalink

(WHAS11) -- The US Attorneys Office is looking for Indiana and Kentucky families who may have been victims of discriminatory lending. The case involves Countrywide Financial Corporation.
Federal officials say Countrywide discriminated against African-American and Hispanic customers by charging them higher fees and interest rates than white customers.
An investigation found the customers affected were directed into sub-prime mortgages when they were qualified for more preferable loans.
About 1300 victims are eligibile for a share of a $335-million settlement. Two-thirds of the victims have already been found but several hundred are still out there.
If you think you may be a victim call 1-800-843-5148. The deadline to file a claim is March 29.

Somewhat weak and wobbly, but still in the ring. Came down with a beautiful attack of La Grippe. Of course, did n't go to bed with it, but spent the time in a st, ner
chair, for one day half out of my head. And oh, how all my bones ache, even now! And
what wild dreams I had? * * *
Honolulu is in sight, and in an hour I shall be ashore mailing this, and learning v/hether or not there is war.
*** Am, Grippe excepted, having a nice trip. The weather is perfect. So is the
steamer. Sit at the Captain's table, and all the rest-—you know * * *
*** Well, we sailed yesterday from Honolulu, ffimaa * * * Am still miserable
with my Grippe, but getting better. Had a swim in the surf at Waikiki. Took in the concert at the Hawaiian Hotel, and had a general nice time.
Had some fun. I bucked a game run by the Chinese firemen of the SIBERIA, and in
twenty-five minutes broke three banks and won $14.85, So, you see, I have discovered a
new career for myself.
The war correspondents, 'She "Vultures," are a jolly crowd. We are bunched up at
the Captain's table, now that the passenger list has been reduced by the lot who left at
Honolulu. In fact, the trip to Honolulu had three bridal couples which sat at the upper
end of the table. This is a funny letter the correspondents are cutting up all around
me; and just now I am being joshed good and plenty.

The 5 Best Pieces of Advice If You Want to Start a Small Container Garden
Reader Intelligence Report
Last week we asked those of you who garden in small spaces to share your best advice for starting and maintaining a successful kitchen garden in pots or containers. You had lots of tips to share, but we culled the top five. If you're ready to jump in and start your own cook's garden, read on for advice from those who've done it before:
1. Start with herbs.You may dream of abundant tomato plants and pounds of heirloom squashes, but when you're just starting a container garden, it's wise to start small... and that means herbs. But herbs are wonderful! Think of how expensive they are at the grocery store, how little you get for how much you pay. Wouldn't it be so much better to be able to pop outside to your porch or patio and snip off a few sprigs of rosemary, or a handful of mint? Herbs work well in pots or containers, too, which makes them ideal beginner plants for newbie gardeners.
Start small and start with whatever herbs you already use to cook with. I keep a small bed of herbs just down the steps from my kitchen door: rosemary, thyme, oregano. This year I'll add more thyme (I use tons of it) and maybe something new...marjoram? -barlowgirl
I live in a condo and have always mixed pots of perennial herbs like mint, thyme, rosemary and lavender with other potted plants in the patio. They require very little care—just need to be cut back once in a while. -kb from la
Herbs are also fairly simple indoors. Things like rosemary and thyme like a lot of light, but not too much water, and can be grown together in one pot. Parsley and cilantro like more water, and can also be grown together. -Charlotte - Roots and Rafters
I am a terrible gardener, but one thing I always grow is basil. It's pretty easy. Just make sure to clip leaves often don't just let them accumulate. Clipping makes them bushier. - moke076
I'd say arugula, lettuce, and herbs give you the most bang for your buck... they take very little space, they're very easy to grow, you get the most nutritional benefit eating your greens super fresh, and buying them at the supermarket is usually stupid expensive. -mnaminal
2. Greens and lettuces are generally easy to grow.
Leaf lettuce is insanely easy to grow. Just pick a shallow planter and sow your leaf lettuce seeds in it. In two weeks, thin the leaves out and use the thinnings in an early salad, and then sow a second planter with seeds. Four weeks from planting the first planter, the leaves in it will be mature, and you can cut them to use in a salad and use the thinnings of the second planter. Then keep alternating cutting from each planter for a perpetual supply of lettuce. Re-sow seeds if your plants don't pop up again as nicely as you'd like. -Charlotte - Roots and Rafters
"Cut and come again" greens do well in planters — like the name says, you harvest by trimming them down to an inch or so, and they keep growing back. You can buy seed packets with ready-mixed blends in different styles; mild salad mixes with lots of lettuces, spicy salad mixes with arugula and other peppery greens, and braising mixes with more robust greens that can hold up to a quick stir-fry. Just remember to water regularly — containers dry out quickly! -Claire from Plant and Plate
3. Use big pots.
Use the biggest pots that you can fit in the space for planting so the roots can spread and mix the herbs in with the vegetable plants. Often the herbs (or garlic) will deter squirrels and other critters because they don't like the smell/taste of them, plus it looks prettier to have a nice full pot! -KathNYC
The best tip I have is to plant in LARGE containers. Nothing smaller than 8", even for herbs. Otherwise you'll be very disappointed in your yield. I regularly have friends who are in disbelief over how much better my herbs are doing than theirs, and the difference is usually that I have mine in big plastic pots while they have theirs in those cute little herb garden planters that have three already-labeled pots and a tray. Those are probably okay for succulents, but not if you want a real herb garden! -AliFair
When we lived in our old apartment we grew everything in five gallon buckets with holes drilled into them for drainage. We even found an old acrylic bathtub to use as a large container. Things that worked in buckets for New Orleans heat and sun: Herbs - rosemary, basil, sage, various mints, and absolutely lemongrass, which is good for mosquitos... By and large using the buckets was the easiest and most affordable way to garden on a small porch. -Galeana
4. Consider your light source.
If you have a spot that gets 4 or 5 hours sun, as opposed to full, all-day sun, greens do really well, I've had terrific luck with mustard greens, chard, and chicory. Also green beans do fine and some herbs. I've grown parsley and green onions successfully. Don't bother with stuff like eggplants or tomatoes, they need a LOT of sun. - leapkate
In the full sun area, basil, strawberries, tomatoes, parsley, zucchini, rosemary, and hops on a trelis. Less sun: hydroponic romaine, celery, and mint. - Angela!
5. Get a book.Take a cue from the experts, and read a book on the subject of small space gardening. Kitchn readers spoke highly of the following:
If you want to do container gardening, I HIGHLY recommend the book The Bountiful Container. It tells you how to grow just about any vegetable in a pot. It's saved my bacon a couple of times when trying to make decisions about what and how to grow in containers, and it's probably the most thorough book on the subject that I've ever read. -Charlotte - Roots and Rafters
I found the book "The Bountiful Container" to be very helpful, with lots of good ideas of what to plant together. -Parnassus
Buy It → McGee & Stuckey's Bountiful Container: Create Container Gardens of Vegetables, Herbs, Fruits, and Edible Flowers by Rose Marie Nichols McGee and Maggie Stuckey, $13.40 at Amazon
My advice would be to try to have fun with it, read lots of books about growing vegetables (Gayla Trail's Grow Great Grub is my go-to), and try to learn from the inevitable failures. -Siobhan Curious
Buy It → Grow Great Grub: Organic Food from Small Spaces, by Gayla Trail, $15.20 on Amazon
Readers, any other advice to offer?

Tomatoes are not the best idea to grow on a patio in a small space. I'll stick to my herbs!
We have two 2' X 4' raised beds full of herbs and four other raised beds of veggies. Good soil is really important. Herbs do not like too rich a soil, add some sand into the mix there. Veggies like a good balanced soil. Fish emulsion is a good fertilizer for the veggies, herbs do not need fertilizer if the soil is good. Please don't use the more chemical and harmful ones!
The most important thing to me is figuring out when to water what. We got a free moisture meter from our local water utility that comes in very handy. We let tap water sit in a large trash can for a day (it lets the chemicals used to clean the water evaporate) and then use it on the plants.
When growing herbs, flowers, etc. in LARGE pots, mix styrofoam in with the dirt at the bottom. It will make the pots a LOT lighter when you have to move them and it helps with drainage too. I've broken up pieces of foam from electronics packaging and used packing peanuts too. As long as the foam isn't the variety that melts when you pour water over it, it will work.
The amount of sun a plant needs really is the critical factor. I have had plants that got too much sun or too little. Herbs are fairly easy to grow though. Great article!
This may be a very uneducated comment, but is styrofoam bad for leaching chemicals into the soil? Without knowing anything about it, it seems like something so unnatural might do so - does anyone know the answer to that?
The Bountiful Container is FABULOUS. I went from barely being able to pot up a few petunias to growing blueberries, 3 kinds of peppers, green beans, tomatoes, both heirloom and sungold (yes, they're totally possible in containers provided you get enough sun), and every herb you could imagine on my small townhouse deck, thanks to that book.
I wouldn't recommend using styrofoam for a massive range of reasons, starting with toxic leaching and a tendency to degrade and leave icky petrochemicals in the ecology. You should avoid styrofoam, especially around food.
You can use a garden grade vermiculite to aerate your soil. Some garden centers sell it in bulk, although I have seen smaller bags in Home Depot. Peat moss will also help hold in the moisture if you live in a particularly dry area. Happy growing!
libre, I'd be worried about that too. I use organic perlite instead. I mix in a small amount to aerate the dirt, plus a layer of gravel at the bottom of each pot to improve drainage. I'm not sure how sustainable it is -- it's a type of volcanic rock -- but it's got to be healthier for edible plants than styrofoam.
Another container gardening tip: Experiment with growing stuff from your kitchen trimmings. You can grow a pineapple in a pot from the crown of a pineapple you ate, for example -- I'm not anywhere near ready to harvest a new one yet but my plant got through a NYC winter just fine, inside on a sunny window sill. I've also got half a dozen little lemon trees in progress, which I started from the seeds of some incredible imported Italian lemons I bought at a specialty fruit market. I loved the flavor so much I thought it was worth a shot trying to grow my own, and now the plants are about 18" tall. I also have a 5' avocado tree that I started from the seed of a particularly delicious avocado. Obviously these are long-range gardening experiments, but it's fun to get a plant going from something you ate.
Edible flowers are great too. They brighten a container garden and are beautiful in salads or on desserts. Last year I grew borage from organic seed; this year it's come back again, and I have some organic marigolds growing too. I don't bother with nasturtiums because I can buy them at the greenmarket, but they have a nice, peppery flavor. Borage is cucumber-y and has pretty blue flowers.
I grow lots of herbs too, and I'd caution people that they're not inherently easier to grow. Some of them are pretty fussy about watering, and they do require trimming to thrive. In terms of being easy to care for, my Alpine strawberries have been effortless compared to my herbs. I planted them in a window box last spring, got some incredible berries from them, and after tucking them under a layer of pine boughs for the winter, it looks like they're set to produce a bumper crop this year. All of the 6 varieties I planted are flowering again and producing the first berries of the season right now. I've linked to it here before, but here's what they looked like last summer, along with my lemon seedlings in their early days:
We now have 12 container plants and for the first time ever they're all thriving. After 2 frustrating years of losing plants, we learned to do it right.
1. Get good organic soil. It's harder than it sounds but it saved our plants.
2. Invest in good quality pots, not plastic.
3. Really read the instructions on how to grow each plant and pay attention to "symptoms" of illness.
4. remember they go into shock after transplant, so water them and try not to move them too much. Plants don't like relocation.
Oh and I forgot, we used mulch for the first time this year! Huge improvement. We used coconut coir. There is some controversey over whether sand makes good drainage, so we used peanut shells. Also right about the sun, you don't want to bake your plants.
Add silica powders or liners to the pots. It's a natural compound that retains water (it's in those packets that come in shoes and bags to absorb moisture), so it helps keep the soil in containers from drying out. You have to really over-add it to rot the roots. My deck faces south and gets very little shade throughout the hot Chicago summers, and without silica, every plant would wither out there.
I've had luck growing both tomatoes, jalapenos and tomatillos in earth boxes-south facing. I've gotten so many that I had to learn how to can in order to use them all (plus friends and family got their fair share!).

Summary: The function of the U.S. House of Representatives is to serve as the body of government closest to ordinary citizens, reflecting their needs and desires. Yet, over the past decade, the House's drift from its roots has given rise to Republicans' ability to capture control of the chamber from a 40-year Democratic rule. Factors including House rules that have curtailed dissent and more powerful party leaders perpetuate this national divide This book shows how average Americans have little say over what happens in the House, and what can be done about it.

HOMER — The Lakeside Warriors hoped to get their first district win Friday night at Homer, but the Pelicans proved to be too much for the Warriors and Lakeside lost 45-12.
Lakeside is now 3-5 on the season, 0-3 in district.
"We played better than we did last week," Lakeside head coach Terrence Quarles said. "But we just made too many mistakes. Homer is a very talented team, and they just took advantage of our mistakes and made thing happen for them."
