About Prada
History and background of Prada. The Prada label was begun in 1913 by Mario Prada when he began selling shoes, leather handbags and trunks. He opened two boutiques in Milan after experience in Europe and U.S.A. The classic Prada suitcase was made of heavy walrus skin but as plane travel made heavy suitcases impractical, the company started to make lighter bags and high quality items made of crystals, tortoise shell and wood.

Comments about Prada L'eau Ambree Perfume:
I had an old bottle of Prada "Amber" that I bought some years ago and I remembered how much I loved it, but whilst moving it leaked almost completely out of the bottle. I noticed on FragranceX that there were several Prada "Ambre" fragrances and decided to chose this one. It is even better than my original one and instead of costing over $120.00 in a department store I got it for about half as much on FragranceX. It is a bit overpowering at first which would make you think it would last longer, but maybe it is because it smells so strong at first I don't put much on and it wears off quicker? I have started using my many bottles of perfumes more for different occasions or according to what I am wearing so this one is used for the evening when going out - it just seems like a sexy night-time fragrance. I have ordered a wide array of fragrances varying from designer to scent to type of occasion and this is a great addition to my little "collection" I have going on. [...] I like to keep "discovering" new fragrances so I am not sure if I'll re-order right away, but Prada's "Ambre" is definitely on my list of fragrances that are high quality, smell great, and are of good value at their price on FragranceX. Thank you so much for another wonderful purchase!

Appreciates changes at local library
I'm so grateful to the mayor, city council and the Enumclaw citizens who voted to annex our library to the King County Library System.
Our excellent library staff is still with us and the library is now open seven days a week for 63 hours instead of only 36 hours. Five more computers have been installed and more improvements are on the way. This will be a wonderful community resource for years to come.

By Michelle Garcia
Originally published on Advocate.com August 17 2011 5:00 AM ET
Rick Santorum is clearly no fan of marriage equality, and he is making sure to educate others about this topic. The former Pennsylvania senator started by linking marriage equality to incest, and he's been on a roll ever since. As Santorum climbs aboard the Values Bus this week in conjunction with the National Organization for Marriage, Family Research Council Action's Faith Family Freedom Fund, and the Susan B. Anthony List to rally conservative voters, we take a look at some of his more provocative comparisons concerning marriage equality and gay rights.
"In Lincoln's time the political debate was over the foundationally immoral institution of slavery. Lincoln rightly criticized Stephen Douglas' 'don't care' attitude about that great moral issue this way: 'When Judge Douglas says that whoever or whatever community wants slaves, they have a right to have them, he is perfectly logical, if there is nothing wrong in the institution; but if you admit that it is wrong, he cannot logically say that anybody has a right to do wrong...Using Douglas' rationale today, we subject the definition of marriage to 50 different versions and that leads to settling of the conflict by the U.S. Supreme Court. This is precisely the same road that led to the downgrading of human life with abortion laws...We simply cannot allow this to happen to marriage too. Traditional marriage is one man and one woman, and it has been the essential building block of every truly free, fruitful, and lasting society."
- An op-ed on RickSantorum.com in August 2011 Comparing marriage equality to beer versus water
"It's like saying this glass of water is a glass of beer. Well, you can call it a glass of beer, but it's not a glass of beer. It's a glass of water. And water is what water is. Marriage is what marriage is."
- C-SPAN, August 10, 2011
Comparing marriage equality to paper napkins versus paper towels
"This is a napkin [picks up a napkin]. I can call this napkin a paper towel. But it is a napkin. And why? Because it is what it is. Right? You can call it whatever you want, but it doesn't change the character of what it is. So when people come out and say that marriage is something else — marriage is the marriage of five people, five, 10, 20. Marriage can be between fathers and daughters. Marriage can be between any two people, any four people, any 10 people, it can be any kind of relationship and we can call it marriage. But it doesn't make it marriage. Why? Because there are certain qualities and certain things that attach to the definition of what marriage is."
- San Francisco Chronicle, August 9, 2011
"Calling same-sex marriage a marriage would be like calling a cup of tea a basketball."
-On the campaign trail in August 2011
Comparing marriage equality to statutory rape and bestiality
"Every society in the history of man has upheld the institution of marriage as a bond between a man and a woman. Why? Because society is based on one thing: that society is based on the future of the society. And that's what? Children. Monogamous relationships. In every society, the definition of marriage has not ever to my knowledge included homosexuality. That's not to pick on homosexuality. It's not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be."
- The Associated Press, April 7, 2003 Comparing congressional debates on marriage equality to terrorism
"This is an issue just like 9-11. We didn't decide we wanted to fight the war on terrorism because we wanted to. It was brought to us. And if not now, when? When the supreme courts in all the other states have succumbed to the Massachusetts version of the law?"
- The Morning Call, February 25, 2004 Comparing marriage equality to incest
"Is anyone saying same-sex couples can't love each other? I love my children. I love my friends, my brother. Heck, I even love my mother-in-law. Should we call these relationships marriage too? Marriage is and always has been more than the acknowledgment of the love between two people."

Julia Blackburn talks to writers whose private papers, like her own, have been acquired by Leeds University Library.
Imagine your teenage diaries being studied by research students - or anyone else who's interested. That's what will happen to Julia Blackburn's journals, family letters, childhood photographs and other personal papers, all of which are in the process of being archived by Leeds University Library.
In this documentary she talks to other writers including poets Simon Armitage and Sophie Hannah, whose private archives now reside in the iconic Brotherton Building in Leeds. Julia discovers how the material is archived and catalogued; in other words, how it is turned into a library in itself, with the help of curator Chris Sheppard. These archives are important because they verify the published work and may reveal new insights to researchers, but there is also a magic in handling original documents, complete with doodlings, coffee stains and other evidence of a real life.
Julia Blackburn's papers relate to an intensely painful period in Julia's life with her parents, poet Thomas Blackburn and the painter Rosalie de Meric, upon which she drew in writing 'The Three of Us' (winner of the Pen/Ackerley prize for autobiography 2009). In the documentary Julia explores the process of releasing private material into a public arena. Some have never thought of doing such a thing before being approached by the library; others see it as a testament to their lives which they must prepare for before death. Many writers have destroyed such material (or requested it be destroyed) rather than leave themselves open to a potentially unkind scrutiny of historians or literary analysts. The writers in this documentary have chosen the difficult and unusual path of allowing their material into the public domain in their lifetime.

James Franco
Originally, James Franco started auditioning for high school productions in order to get back at a girlfriend who kissed another boy on stage. We'll let the vengeful streak slide since it serendipitously motivated this modern-day Renaissance man's multiple-mediums career. After dropping out of UCLA to study acting in 1997, he started on the small screen in Freaks and Geeks, a gig which introduced him to frequent collaborators Seth Rogen, Judd Apatow and Jason Segal. Playing James Dean in the 2001 TV biopic earned him a lead actor Golden Globe as well as Emmy and SAG nomination. He picks roles all over the genre map from superhero blockbuster (Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy), biopics (Howl, Milk), science fiction (Rise of The Planet Of The Apes), period pieces (Tristan + Isolde), romance (Eat, Pray, Love), comedies (Pineapple Express, which earned him another Globe nomination) and dramas (In The Valley of Elah). In 2010, he earned his first Best Actor Oscar nomination for portraying the climber who was forced to cut off his own arm in 127 Hours. He's modeled for Gucci, cameoed on 30 Rock, directed short films for R.E.M., produces, authored a couple of books, did multiple guest stints on soap General Hospital after he was an award-winning actor, hosted the Academy Awards in 2011, has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and a private pilot's license, paints proficiently, teaches acting, volunteers with Art of Elysium, and has earned multiple degrees (a bachelor's from UCLA, two master's in writing from Columbia and Brooklyn College, a master's in film from NYU).

The GRS Garden Project: July 2009 Update
Published on - August 1st, 2009 (by J.D. Roth)
Every month, my wife and I track how much time and money we spend growing food. This is the report for July 2009. (Here are the results for 2008.)
Welcome to Oregon, where for the past week it's been hot. How hot? Here's the temperature graph from the National Weather Service for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday:
The heat hasn't prevented us from working in the garden. We've been watering the thirsty plants, and we've begun harvesting their fruit. It's hard to believe that just three months ago, this was a bare patch of earth. Now it's grown so lush that it's difficult to photograph:
But how have our harvests been? Let's find out.
Currently currants
Remember how last year Kris and I couldn't find a price for our currants or gooseberries? They're just not available here in Oregon, so we used the same figures for them as we did for our other berries. But earlier this month we stopped at an Asian supermarket, and they had both gooseberries ($2.99 for 6oz.) and red currants ($3.49 for 6oz.).
So what?
Well, in July we harvested 8.362kg of red currants from our two bushes, which is 18.42 pounds. That's a lot of currants. Look again at that price in the last paragraph. $3.49 for 6oz. translates to about $9.30 per pound. In other words, we harvested $171.43 worth of red currants this year.
Holy cats!
I have new advice for how to make a garden profitable: Plant red currants — and lots of them!
But what can you do with eighteen pounds of red currants? Kris made two batches of red currant jelly with the most beautiful ruby red color you've ever seen. She's going to enter some in the county fair in mid-August. We also had two friends come glean the extras. Plus there were currants left over to freeze!
More harvest
While the currants gave us a bumper crop, other plants were less productive. The gooseberries didn't produce much. And for the second year, they fell victim to the gooseberry sawfly. Kris and I agree: Those things are out of here! I'm going to dig them up and we'll replace them with more blueberries.
Speaking of blueberries, they weren't very productive this year either. I'm not sure exactly what the problem is, but we've harvested less than half the blueberries we did last year. Our raspberries were pathetic for the second year running; they just can't compete with the vigorous marionberry canes.
Still, harvest season is in full swing. Here's the complete tally from our garden in July:
- 18.42 pounds (8.362kg) red currants @ $3.49 for six ounces = $171.43
- 0.95 pounds (0.430kg) gooseberries @ $2.99 for six ounces = $7.55
- 4.91 pounds (2.229kg) snow peas @ $2.99/pound = $14.58
- 1.09 pounds (0.494kg) green beans @ $1.29/pound = $1.41
- 5.91 pounds (2.681kg) caneberries (blackberries, etc.) @ 2.49/pint (~300g) = $22.25
- 79 cucumbers @ $1.29/pound (about 5 cukes) = $20.38
- 11 zucchini @ $0.50/each = $5.50
- 6 red onions (negligible value)
Our harvest totaled $243.10, but most of that was from the red currants. Without those to salvage our stats, we would have finished behind last July. That's okay, though. The tomatoes are just about to come on, and we're going to have a lot more of them than we did last year. The fruit trees will also give us bigger crops than last year since they're a year more mature.
As we often do, we also picked fruit from friends this month. We picked cherries from the neighbor across the street, and on July 3rd we drove out to raid the cherries belonging to our friends Ron and Kara, coming home with thirty pounds of mixed Queen Annes, Bings and sour pie cherries. Yum! We also made use of some early apples for a juicing experiment. This "free" produce isn't included in the numbers below.
Here are the running totals through the end of July:

Final word
This garden project is not a formal experiment. Kris and I are long-time hobby gardeners, and we have set ways that we do things. This year, we're trying to incorporate some new ideas from GRS readers, but most of the time we'll do things the way we have for nearly 15 years.
We're not trying to be 100% organic (though we are mostly organic through our normal practices). Nor are we trying to be 100% frugal. Instead, we're trying to see just what our garden costs and produces based on our normal habits. We hope the results of this experiment will help us find new ways to economize and to improve our crops.
You can read about my goals for this series in The year-long GRS project: How much does a garden really save?

Blueberries! We would love to plant a blueberry bush next spring, but we hear they're high maintenance. Do you have to do a lot to maintain them? I would also love to plant a mini apple orchard with 2-3 different types of apple trees. We just moved into our house last year with bare landscaping, so we have lots of options. We're total novices and haven't started anything yet (Been busy with wedding planning), but we daydream of homemade blueberry pancakes and apple pie.
Your pictures are beautiful! I don't know how to garden but this makes me want to!
Mrs. White
you may want to check the acid levels of the soil near your blueberries. From what I've read they should be planted in islands of soil that are more acidic. You may need to add something acidic to the soil around them.
Unfortunately… our garden isn't faring well. We've had so much rain, that many of the plants died. And with all the rain, the bees haven't been around to pollinate.
Yes, it's been outrageously hot in PDX! Loving the garden posts… I'm harvesting on a much smaller scale: 10 cucumbers, tons of basil, 4 summer squash, lots of sweet peas, a few tomatoes and 1 beet. I think this weather has finally pushed the tomatoes into ripening though!
My garden plans were severely curtailed by life this year so my efforts got pushed into new herbs, which I could start late with little prep work. I tried some new things this year – epazote and lovage. Epazote is the herb traditionally used in Mexican beans and though I'll probably not use even 2% of what I planted my beans finally taste authentic. The lovage is still pretty immature, but it's sort of celery like with hollow stems – the goal is to use the stems as straws in bloody marys.
The rest of the (smaller than expected) garden is limping along. We had some water interruption while on vacation and it's been slow to recover from that. The tomatoes should be ripe in 2 to 3 weeks, basil, parsley, cilantro and mint have been contributing fabuslous flavors to our salads and pasta. The first corn will be eaten tonight – yum!
Thanks for sharing your garden travails – it's always fun to learn what everyone else is doing.
Do you account for water usage in figuring the cost of your garden?
Blueberry bushes are a great choice for edible landscaping. I consider them pretty low maintenance, but they do need an annual pruning and fertilizer, and to be kept well-watered because they have shallow root systems. It's been a bit too hot here for ours this year. These 100+ degree days just dried the berries right on the bushes so they never really ripened.
You don't say where you live, but I'd check to see if there are any blueberry farmers nearby. If so, your climate is sure to be suitable for them to grow in your yard as well.
Hot for there. We had one day in July when it didn't hit 100. Not doing any gardening since I got done harvesting the figs.
I have a raised-bed garden in my friend's back yard. We planted and sowed on May 30th, and now are reaping the rewards of our hard work. Our six beds probably cost us $65 apiece, including a complex soil mixture we put together, protective netting and various types of stakes. (We could have spent less money had we known then what we know now!)
We have been chronicling everything on our blog, from the first days of indoor sowing, to building the beds to harvesting and planning for next year. It was HARD work- exhausting in the early days. Deer and rabbits have cost us our tomatoes and a couple of other plants this summer. Still, we are thrilled with our harvests thus far. We don't regret the hard work and expenses this year because we've learned so much from this experience. We know now how to make next year's crop even more successful and economical. Next year my goal is to see how much of my vegetarian diet I can supply from my own organic backyard garden.
Wow, that's quite a garden and a project! Good stuff. I love to water my fruit trees, but that's about it. Gardening is definitely not a profitable venture, but it sure is relaxing and fun!
My blueberry bushes are 30 years old. I never water them and I never do anything to the soil. I get approximately 100 pounds of berries off of five bushes every other year. This was that year. My entire land rotates like that. One good year, one bad. Of course the garden isnt included in that. That rotation happens in the orchard and the berries. I have nothing to do with it. I guess its just natures way.
I was raised with blueberry bushes that we had to pick every day in the summer/fall. We lived in the Maple Ridge area of B.C., Canada and it's all peat bog land. They love acidic soil so peat moss is a good dressing for the bushes. There are several varieties of blues as well. We used to call the early ones June berries and they were small. In late summer came the ones we called grape blues because they got so big and grew in clusters like grapes. I have many memories of blueberry fights, stained t-shirts, and blue hands. All in all they are my favourite berries to this day.
Now we live in the hot interior of B.C. and we get the most fantastic gardens! Our "saucy" roma style tomatoes are going crazy. We let them crawl instead of staking them and they do wonderfully. They tend to ripen all at once so we are preparing for a major salsa and picante saucing session in about a month. We use a propane turkey cooker stand outside to do our canning. It's the best!
The beets have done extremely well. We've canned many and have many, many to go. Thankfully we discovered a tasty Turkish beet salad that is a staple now for summer grazing.
Love your garden posts J.D.
You might want to factor into your balance sheet how much you may be saving in medical costs by eating freshly harvested fruit and vegetables. Additionally, you are keeping yourselves fit and healthy by engaging in the physical work required by gardening.
And any organic gardening project, however small, will reduce the demand for petro-chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
So, is there anything about your gardening project that's not 'win-win'?
I'm growing a number of things (in Southern Cal) this year, but I'm really excited about my tomatillos, which I'm growing for the first time. They are just blossoming now, and I'm envisioning home-grown Salsa Verde in about a month.
I have a question: What do you do with the currants you freeze?
In response to Richby30Retireby40: Gardening is not profitable?? Seriously?? I have 3 kids who eat like starving people. $4 worth of green bean seeds produces enough green beans for our family for a year. All I use to can them is water and a little tiny bit of table salt. The jars they are canned in paid for themselves the second year. A couple dollars worth of zucchini, summer squash, and butternut squash seeds produce tons of food for our family for the small price of blanching them in some water and freezing them. I use this for casseroles, soups, breads, even desserts all year. $10 worth of potato cuttings grow into $50 worth of potatoes. $4 worth of lettuce seeds grew more leafy lettuce than our family and our neighbors could eat this summer. All that saves me hundreds of dollars at the grocery store throughout the year. And this is not even getting into the tomatoes, pickles, and jelly my kids go through. My kids eat approx. 25 qt. of jelly a year. I can make it for less than half the price of the store's brand jelly. Grapevine was free, started from another grapevine. Sorry to keep going on, but it can be very profitable, if you do it right.
Love these garden posts. We recently moved to the country and are putting in our first garden. Would you include the costs of adding soil and fencing to the "cost of produce" or amortize it across a number of years or?? We're planning on veggies, herbs, a few fruit trees and berry bushes. We're starting relatively small to see if we can hang with it. I think it's a good idea to track our expenses and estimate whether we're breaking even, or actually saving money doing this. Thanks for your blog.
I always get a little sad when I read the garden updates. I need a yard so badly.
I do a *ton* of gardening — in fact, this year, I'm providing a mini-CSA! I can't remember if you mentioned this, but if you're not doing it, seed-saving can save you a lot of money. This works best if you grow heirloom varieties, as not all hybrids breed true. (That's part of how seed companies keep getting your money!) The International Seed Saving Institute has directions for how to save seeds for a lot of common varieties on its website for free.
Hi I live in Portland too. My husband and I have doubled the size our garden (in SW near Multnomah Village) for the last few years. Now we are trying to figure out how to buy a farm that we've fallen in love with in Western Yamhill county.
Anyway, you can use your currants to make your own pectin for making jams & jellies with fruits that don't have much of their own pectin – like strawberries.
You can find more information about it on the following website: http://www.portlandpreserve.com.
I'm in central Texas and it's been in the hundreds for months. My garden hasn't produced at all, save for a handful of tomatoes. Of those, the Sweet Million cherry tomato was the best producer. Mid-month I will amend my soil, and prepare for the fall garden. My fall garden last year did fantastic, and if it can cool off, I bet it will fare far better than my spring/summer garden has. Right now I'm buying from the local farmer's market and trying to save as many seeds as I can. I also plan to purchase some fruit trees this fall, which I have never grown before. I'm looking forward to home-grown fruit!
Sooo . . . what are you gonna do with all of those cucumbers?
Love your gardening updates! The jellies look like jewelry, they're so brilliantly colored.
Scorching heat here has pretty well killed off everything except basil, some chives, one squash plant, one melon plant. The latter two have to be covered every day…everything has to be watered every single day. Tomatoes turned to mush on the vine before they ripened…dunno if they had a disease or just cooked under the searing sun. The squash plant has made one fruit: since the whole lash-up cost about $65, I call it the $65 butternut squash!
LOL! That doesn't count the $150 water bills.
The wife and I tried our first garden this year. Unfortunately we have a few strikes against us, in that we live on a tiny lot in the city, with massive numbers of trees shading a large portion of the back yard. This leaves us with a roughly 10 ft x 50 ft patch of yard which gets sun for at least 1/2 the day.
Even so, we ended up planting snap peas, bush beans, okra, cucumbers, radishes, strawberries, green onions, two varieties of tomatoes, raspberries and thornless blackberries.
We also planted 3 cherry trees (two varieties) just inside our property at the side of our house, along with 2 pecan trees in the front. When they mature they will shade the house, helping with cooling bills in summer in addition to providing fruits and nuts.
Unfortunately, we have been having a cool and damp summer so far, and as a result have been fighting tomato spot and cherry spot.These are bacterial ailments that thrive in damp and cool, but luckily are surface blemishes. The tomatoes can still be eaten so long as you cut off the spots, but they don't look so hot. The cherry trees have not matured enough to fruit, so it just makes the leaves look bad.
So far, the cucumbers, the okra and the bush beans have produced the best, but the best thing is we have been learning what NOT to do next year.
For those interested in learning some of the 'old' skills, I've recently learned of this in the Vancouver/Portland area: http://urbanfarmschool.com/
I haven't attended a class, but it looks like a great place to learn how to do all sorts of things our grandparents knew how to do, that didn't get passed down to us!
Here in New York we've had record rainfall (16 inches in the past 8 weeks) and alomost no sun. So my Italian parsley and sage are growing well….but my basil is midget-sized, so is my rosemary, and my thyme never grew at all. Sigh.
For my farm share, there is a tomato blight here in New York so we likely won't get ANY tomatoes.
We just inherited a large volume of canning jars and I thought it would be fun to share a comment from grandma and great grandma. Some of the glass jars are antique and even light coloured glass. So cool! Apparently great grandma used to call her canning, her "jewels" as she looked at her shelves of full, colourful jars. Now that is a great definition of wealth. Seeing your pictures of currant jelly brought this to mind.
The red currant jelly looks delicious. Brings back some really great memories. At our summer house a few moons ago we used make, or boil, out of black and red currants juice concentrate that was then bottled and enjoyed, cold or hot, back in the city throughout the fall and winter.
I see gooseberries and currants at the Farmers Market all the time (I usually go to the Wednesday one) — so that's an idea for your pricing in the future?
Re: Sarah Post 15
You are forgetting to include your time in your calculations. You'll notice that JD is up to 39 hours of labor. Figure $20/hr (which is very, very conservative) and that's $780 he could have made working and not gardening. While it's obviously true JD does gardening for pleasure and not income, when talking about profitability you have to include labor.
Ben (post #29): you make a good point when you focus only on dollars, but I find it to be a problem when we reduce *everything* to personal profit. Sarah's labor gets her food of higher nutritional quality because she picks it fresh. She controls whether she uses pesticides and chemicals, and she gets A LOT of yield for her labor.
The time we spend in our six-bed garden would only amount to an extremely part-time job. You see, most of our labor was at the beginning: building the garden beds and fencing. We take a half hour or so every few days to water the garden (if necessary) and to put down organic liquid "fencing." We spend maybe 15 minutes or less every few days picking herbs and veggies for dinner. In the Fall we'll compost plants and cover the beds, and later, we'll have to add new compost and spend time sowing and planting. This still represents less time than we have spent watching movies or doing the household shopping every weekend. In fact, we can produce our corn, lettuce, strawberries, peas, green beans, zucchini, tomatoes, watermelon, fava beans, shell peas, yellow squash, herbs, carrots, celery and cucumbers and STILL host birthday parties and bonfires, go out with friends, take a class, work, catch some television, etc.
Sure, we could be working instead of enjoying our families or reading a great book, but most people don't aspire to fill their free time with even more work if they don't have to. I realize this blog is about money, but "getting rich," in my book, is about quality of life (and food!) as well.
Our garden is ROTTING. I have never seen so much rain in my life. We are five inches over the average for the year right now. My lettuce is brown mush. I am so aggravated to see all our work was for nothing.
My time in my garden is my "me" time. No one bothers me when I am digging in the dirt. I forget about the daily stresses and enjoy my task. Gardening is not work to me. So I figure I am saving, conservatively, $75 an hour on a therapist.
Since I began gardening years ago I tracked my spending and saving and was surprised how well I did with little effort. I am also a big advocate of all natural products VS the preservative laden stuff on grocery store shelves, so canning and freezing the harvest is easy for me.
I wanted to make a suggestion in regards to growing it all VS a farmer's market or pick-your-own field. Here where I live in Western PA, there are a lot of farms that raise all sorts of berries and fruits and they have pick-your-own prices and by the bushel prices. You can still save a ton and have fun with the family if you go there to pick rather than cultivate the bushes or trees on your own.
Also, I am lucky to work with several farmers. I have the opportunity to buy fresh picked corn for canning and freezing rather than taking up the garden space at home. The cost for a 20 dozen sack of corn ends up pennies per serving! I am buying fresh beef in the same manner, organically raised for only $2.60 a pound, vacuum packed ready for the freezer!
Our garden (first year) has been fantastic lately! we've been eating tons of eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash and hybrid tomatoes. The winter squash, watermelon, tomatillos and heirloom tomatoes are almost ready too! We have learned a lot this first year and will do better next year.
Question: are you putting in a fall/winter garden? We want to this year as we are in mild Northern California zone 8 and can probably grow a lot of stuff, but don't know when to do it! the books say August but our summer crop will still be growing throughout August! I know it will still be warm in September, but I don't know how the hours of daylight will affect growth for the fall plants. I need to find myself a "garden coach"!
I've been enjoying following your progress! We're out in Eastern Oregon. It's my first season in this zone – and it's been a challenge. I also got a very late start for reasons I couldn't control this year.
I also want to let folks know that you don't have to own a yard to garden – I've built a site called hyperlocavore.com – and I am here to help you find people to start a yard share garden with. The site is free, and we do our best to match eager gardeners with people who have space for you to grow your own! It's a win for everyone!

WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court upheld nearly all of President Barack Obama's healthcare law Thursday, ratifying the signature domestic achievement of his presidency and affirming the broad overhaul that Democrats had sought for more than six decades.
The decision assured that the law will continue to take effect — barring an unexpected repeal — extending coverage to the uninsured, providing new protections such as coverage for pre-existing medical conditions and imposing new taxes to finance it all.
In a ruling that's politically far-reaching but legally restrained, the court said in a 5-4 decision that Congress had acted within its taxing power when it mandated that people buy health insurance or pay a penalty. The rest of the healthcare law likewise survived, save for tinkers with a provision that directs states to expand Medicaid coverage.
"It is reasonable to construe what Congress has done as increasing taxes on those who … choose to go without health insurance," Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. wrote for the majority. "Such is within Congress' power to tax."
An alliance
Roberts, a 57-year-old conservative nominated by former President George W. Bush, formed an intriguing alliance with the court's four Democratic-appointed justices to control the decision.
In essence, they reached the same conclusions by different routes. The liberals wanted a more expansive ruling. Instead, they ended up providing most of the votes while Roberts narrowed the reasoning as much as he could.
"I know there will be a lot of discussion today about the politics of all this, about who won and who lost. That's how these things tend to be viewed here in Washington," Obama said at the White House after the decision. "Whatever the politics, today's decision was a victory for people all over this country whose lives will be more secure because of this law and the Supreme Court's decision to uphold it."
Congressional Republicans, who voted en masse against the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in 2010, vowed to kill it if they could. The House of Representatives will vote on a repeal bill July 11, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., announced Thursday. Though the repeal is likely to pass the House, it almost certainly will fail in the Senate, where Democrats hold the majority.
"There's a lot of resolve amongst our colleagues, and amongst the American people, to stop a law that's hurting our economy, driving up the cost of healthcare and making it more difficult for employers to hire new workers.," House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said in a statement.
Passed on party-line votes in Congress, the law includes hundreds of provisions that are being phased in over several years. Many are politically popular across party lines, such as one allowing parents to keep their children on family insurance policies until the age of 26. The centerpiece, though, is a government mandate on individual Americans that alarms conservatives.
The mandate requires that taxpayers obtain a minimum level of health insurance coverage by 2014. With some exceptions, those who don't get insurance must pay annual fees that start at $95 in 2015 and rise to $695 by 2016. The court upheld this mandate, though not necessarily in the way many expected.
The court's conservatives, including Roberts, agreed that the individual mandate violated the Constitution's Commerce Clause.
The Commerce Clause authorizes Congress to regulate commerce "among the several states." Since the New Deal era of the 1930s, this has justified many expansions of the federal government on the basis that the activity substantially affects commerce.
"It is no surprise that Congress has employed the commerce power in a wide variety of ways to address the pressing needs of the time," Roberts wrote, "but Congress has never attempted to rely on that power to compel individuals not engaged in commerce to purchase an unwanted product."
The court's four liberal justices contended that the Commerce Clause empowered Congress to impose the mandate, with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg arguing in dissent that while "the insurance-purchase mandate is novel … novelty is no reason to reject it." This reasoning, had it prevailed, would have been much more sweeping than Roberts wanted. It also would have encouraged more congressional efforts to build laws atop the Commerce Clause.
Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Stephen Breyer joined Ginsburg.
Instead, Roberts tied approval of the individual mandate to the power of Congress to "lay and collect taxes." Though Obama and congressional Democrats denied that the individual-mandate penalty was a tax, Roberts reasoned that it effectively serves as a tax. That saved the mandate, but it set a less aggressive precedent.
"It's very narrow in its implications," said Jeffrey Rosen, a George Washington University law professor. Nan Aron, the president of the liberal Alliance for Justice, called the court's view of the Commerce Clause a "ticking time bomb" that may enable a conservative majority to form again in the future and undo other social welfare legislation.
Three conservative justices who usually are Roberts' allies, along with swing-vote Justice Anthony Kennedy, said that even the tax-powers reasoning gave Congress too much benefit of the doubt.
'Penalty, not tax'
"In the case of the Affordable Care Act, Congress went to great lengths to structure the mandate as a penalty, not a tax," Kennedy wrote for the dissenters. "But the majority now says that it is a tax, at least for the purpose of sustaining it."
Justices Antonin Scalia, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas joined Kennedy.
Roberts also combined with liberal justices to salvage part of an expansion program for Medicaid — the federal-state health plan for the poor — albeit in more limited form.
Flexing federal muscle, the law pushes the states to cover residents who have higher incomes. It also establishes new minimum coverage levels for Medicaid. The law allows a cutoff of federal Medicaid money to states that don't expand coverage to individuals with incomes up to 133 percent of the poverty line — about $30,000 for a family of four.
Although the federal government still will pay 90 percent of the additional costs, states complained that the threatened withholding of funds amounted to inappropriate coercion. The states receive more than $250 billion annually in federal Medicaid funds.
While describing the threatened loss of all Medicaid funds as a "gun to the head," Roberts said the federal government could reasonably withhold new funds intended to pay for the expanded coverage.
"What Congress is not free to do is to penalize states that choose not to participate in that new program by taking away their existing Medicaid funding," Roberts wrote, adding that "nothing in our opinion precludes Congress from offering funds under the Affordable Care Act to expand the availability of healthcare, and requiring that states accepting such funds comply with the conditions on their use."
"The court does not express any opinion on the wisdom of the Affordable Care Act," Roberts wrote. "Under the Constitution, that judgment is reserved to the people."

Antler lamps have always creeped me out. Remind me too much of skeletons I guess.
white products white backgrounds = .
I guess the "plus" sign doesn't work here for some reason. Was intending to suggest that white products that are photographed with white backgrounds are nearly imperceptible & therefore a bad idea. They ought to think about some practical background so we can see what they're trying to sell.
Antler lamps remind me of Bugaboo Creek Steakhouse. These are fancier, but still feel lodge-like to me.

The "Energize" shoe from Landau is designed with a secure fit and easy on/off entry. A non-marking outsole meets ASTM F1677 Mark II slip-resistant rating when tested on wet quarry tile floors. A shock-absorbing EVA midsole ensures long-lasting comfort. Lightweight and supportive.
I thought I will like it because it's light and soft but the soles are uneven that really hurt my feet when I walk.I threw it away and would rather buy another brand even though they cost more money.
Ultra lightweight and comfortable. I wear size 9 and bought size 9. Fit is good except backs are low and slip as you walk. Very warm since they are molded man made material. Look great.
these shoes are VERY comfy and light. they're so light that you'll forget you have shoes on. they fit perfectly, so whatever shoe size you are you don't need to go a size up or down. i love them.
comfy. light. perfect fit. GET THEM!
I was surprised how comfortable these shoes are. Being on my feet all day they don't hurt too bad. The only thing is my feet sweat a lot in these shoes. I've never had this problem before with my feet sweating but in these shoes, they sweat and then as I'm walking they squeak. I wear a 7.5 in regular shoes and the 8 fits just right.

How a stolen cellphone could trash your credit
As if being without a phone weren't bad enough, you can also be vulnerable to identity theft and a black mark on your credit reports. But there are ways to reduce your risk.
This post comes from Jeanne Kelly at partner site Credit.com.
According to a recent study by Lookout Labs, $30 billion worth of cellphones and mobile devices were lost in 2011. That's a lot of hardware that ends up somewhere, possibly in the wrong hands.
Here are just a few ways your phone can put your credit at risk:
- Your phone contains a lot of identification information that can be used to impersonate you. That information can be used to then open new accounts in your name.
- If you've ever shared your financial information (such as a credit card number) with a friend via email or text, it may be available in the communication history or sent folder.
- Your phone may contain shopping apps that hold your credit card information on file so you can shop quickly and conveniently again.
- Your phone may contain banking apps that allow you to quickly access your bank account to get account balances or to pay bills.
- Avoid including this information on your cellphone in the first place. Don't do your banking on your cellphone; don't do your shopping on your cellphone. This can be difficult and sometimes even nearly impossible due to the mobile age we live in, but it is the simplest solution to keeping your identity safe.
- Don't store financial information on your phone. Adjust the security settings so that you have to re-enter your credit card every time you want to make a purchase. (Not all apps allow you to do this but take advantage of them if they have that option!)
- Download an app that allows you to locate your lost phone. And, if necessary, try to get an app that can "wipe" your phone remotely so that others can't access your information.
- Put a password on your phone. A good one.
- Monitor your credit. If you lose your phone, but aren't sure if it was stolen or just misplaced, you can monitor your credit using the Credit Report Card. It will let you know if your credit score drops significantly, a signal that you may be an identity theft victim. Also, keep an eye on any financial accounts you had hooked up to your phone. You can also contact the three major credit reporting bureaus to put a 90-day fraud alert on your credit, which may help you spot fraud before it happens.
- Keep the contact information of your credit cards and banks handy. This way you can contact them and tell them to temporarily disable access to your account if your phone is missing.

This recipe (out of the Junior League of Wichita's cookbook "Women of Great Taste," which I highly, highly recommend) is the best, most satisfying, and the easiest Potato Gratin I have encountered. Only downside is cost of ingredients, but that's mostly with respect to my humble grad-student budget. Anyway, this is a fail-proof, fabulous recipe.
Potato Gratin with Boursin
3 lbs (1.36 kg) red-skinned potatos, thinly sliced (peels on)
5 oz (150 g) package Boursin "Garlic and Fine Herbs" cheese
2 cups (473 ml) heavy whipping cream
salt, pepper, chopped parsley
Beat together Boursin and cream in food processor until smooth. Layer half of potatos in 9 x 13 in. pan, season with salt and pepper (to taste), pour on half of cheese mixture. Repeat. Bake 400 F for 1 hour. Top with chopped parsley.

Inception: San Diego, 2012
Ex-Band Members: Greg Rupp, Bass guitar
Influences: Badlands, Audioslave, King's X, 24-7 Spyz, Soundgarden, Van Halen, Dio.
Seventrain was founded by players from 24-7 Spyz, Cage, Tall, and Tourniquet, including Eric Horton (former Cage guitarist) and drummer Joel Maitoza (24-7 Spyz, Shockhead), along with singer Jon Campos (Tourniquet, Dive Bomber), guitarist Jef Poremba (Tall, Coffi Baker, 6ONE9), and bassist Steve Andino (Tourniquet). They play raw, stripped down, blues-based hard rock.
The band's first performance in Autumn 2012 was at a San Diego memorial show for the late Vincent John Crudo, (otherwise known as "Big Vinnie"), a local sound technician and bass player, where they performed several cover songs. Guitarist Horton and vocalist Campos decided to record songs they'd been working on, recruiting former 24-7 Spyz drummer Maitoza to produce and play drums on the album, along with guitarist Poremba and bassist Greg Rupp (My Middle Finger, 6ONE9), who
appeared on the CD but was replaced by Andino shortly after the recording of the album.
Recorded in early 2013 at DML Studios with engineer Don Lithgow (Blink 182, New Found Glory, Finch) tracked in analog on 2-inch tape, their debut self-titled full-length was released in February 2014 via So Cal Records/Alliance Entertainment.

Reviews for Snickerdoodle Blondie Bars
Sort By :
Great recipe, great taste and great texture. I used an 11 x 7 pan and cooked on 350 for 40 minutes. (Perfect). I will make these again. Made the whole house smell like cinnamon toast.
I have a son that doesn't like chocolate so am always looking for new after school treats to make for him. I didn't have a 9x9 pan so I used a 11x7 pan & it worked out well. These were so good!!!
These were delicious and had a great texture. I do think that the cooking time needs to be increased, as mine were still a little gooey in the middle and needed to spend a little more time in the oven.
Thank you for leaving your review. This recipe was originally submitted to use a 9x13 pan, however the test kitchen felt they were a "more decadent thick bar" using a metal 9x9 square pan. It was suggested "If the top starts to get too brown before the center is done, loosely cover the pan with foil for the remainder of the baking time." If you decide to bake these bars in a 9x13 your baking time should be reduced to 25-30 minutes. Hope that helps. Vseward
The flavor of these bars was fabulous and addictive. My husband pronounced them "evil" because he couldn't stop reaching for them. I think the 9x9 pan size is much too small. When I was spreading the batter in the pan, it came up almost to the top, and I thought, this is too thick. And it was. My bars got overdone on the top and underdone in the center. So next time, I think I will use a 13x9 and shorten the baking time.

A seven-year break and a new U.K. home lead an icon's daughter back to roots
By Alan Light
Special to MSN Music
Lisa Marie Presley had to go to England to come home. The only child of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, she had released two albums -- "To Whom It May Concern" in 2003 and 2005's "Now What" -- which were moderately well-received pop-flavored efforts that didn't shake up the world. After the tour that followed "Now What," she relocated to rural England with her husband and young twin daughters, and severed ties with her record company and management.
At the urging of her husband, musician Michael Lockwood, and her new manager, Simon Fuller (the force behind the international "Pop Idol"/"American Idol" TV franchise), in 2009 she began some brainstorming sessions with three British songwriters: Sacha Skarbek (who's written with Adele and Jason Mraz), singer-songwriter Ed Harcourt and Richard Hawley of the band Pulp. What emerged were compositions that were far more personal and emotional than anything Presley had previously shown, the words of a survivor who has pulled through a tough time: "I'll find a new crowd, make a new start/ Farewell, fair-weather friends/I can't say I'll miss you in the end," she sings on "So Long."
Fuller sent her demos to producer T Bone Burnett, a 12-time Grammy winner known for his work with such artists as Alison Krauss and Robert Plant, B.B. King, and Elton John and Leon Russell. Impressed by the songs, Burnett agreed to oversee the album that would become "Storm & Grace," bringing in his usual A Team of studio players to create a spare, acoustic-based sound that fits naturally with the daughter of Elvis Presley, but never feels imitative or gimmicky.
On the telephone from her home in England, 44-year-old Presley expresses pride in the new album, but still sounds a little surprised at the direction it took and the risks she was willing to accept. She says that getting back to the music born in the American South, where she grew up as royalty, wasn't a conscious decision, creatively or strategically. "It wasn't contrived," she says, "the train just started rolling. This was just the bed where I found the best place for my voice to land."
MSN Music: The rootsy, gospel-based feel in these songs certainly sounds like what we would think you listened to growing up in Graceland. But is that true? Maybe at home you just listened to Top 40.
Lisa Marie Presley: Yeah, it definitely is. When I was young and at home, I definitely had good influences. But on the first two albums I didn't go there, to be rebellious. I knew what I was up against, and I thought that if I tried to sound like that, it would make it even more difficult for me. So I purposely did things to stay away from it. I had to get that out of my system. This sound is a very natural next step, but first I had to get through all that.
Bing Music: Lisa Marie Presley
Why did going to England lead to such an American-sounding record?
It wasn't intended. I had no agenda. I went to England to start from zero, having gotten rid of everybody around me -- my label, in my career, and for me personally. It was my husband's idea to go to Richard Hawley and Fran Healy (of the band Travis), people who hadn't really written with anyone before. We went down obscure, not predictable alleys, we weren't just going to the established hit-makers. And it unfolded from there.
What was different about working with those writers, in these conditions?
I could naturally start from scratch, with a blank canvas. There was no one breathing down my neck or putting any pressure on me, like there always was in the past. That allowed me the freedom, and I was ready to see what would come out of me. I was pretty bare and raw emotionally, and that's what came out in the songs.
Was it scary to give yourself over to that in your writing?
Before, I was always terrified, so I'd sing louder, make the guitar louder, make any attempt to hide. This time, I was letting go of that protection, allowing the beauty of the melody to happen. I have a tendency to be overcomplicated, to show off, try to prove something. So not over-singing or over-producing, that simplicity was really the key.
A song like "So Long" feels very autobiographical and personal. Were you able to get to that kind of revelation right away?
The first song I wrote with Sacha was "Close to the Edge," and then "So Long." That set the tone, the vibe was there. But I think "Weary" was the one where it really changed. Richard is very simple, really old-school, and so he's appreciative of that simplicity. I was still trying to overload and overdo things. And it was that collision that led to the breakthrough.
I just let go, stopped trying so hard, and when he left me with the song I said, "I'll try this I can see where he's headed." So we had to find that halfway point. Then I thought, "I see, I can do this," and it felt really good. That was an experiment, but then it started happening more after that. It was scary; it felt much more naked. It's much easier when there's lots of tracks covering me up. But it felt really right, and my voice was finding its way.
More on Bing: Lisa Marie Presley videos
What did working with T Bone bring to these songs?
He made it in such a way where he picks the different sounds he wants, but he's always respectful and collaborative. He is who he is and does what he does, but he also doesn't have anything fully set -- he just puts his wand and his energy on it, and it became more of a flower than it ever had been. The songs found the right bedding.
What is the biggest misunderstanding about you?
The biggest is my protective shell. I have a tendency, if I feel vulnerable or if I could be hurt, to put up a wall -- it's a safety mechanism, but it comes off ass-holic at times, more arrogant and tough than it really is. If I feel vulnerable, I just put up that wall and shut off. It's a weird protection, but it's something I learned long ago. So I think I have a persona that seems much harder- edged than I actually am.

Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat Iron (1 1/2")
KellySan FranciscoI'm Madly In Love With This StraightnerThis straightner glides through hair so smoothly you cant feel it at all. Not only that but, it only takes 30 seconds to heat up, it dosent damage hair, youll get the smoothest straighest locks ever, and it takes about 15 minutes to completely straiten my waist length hair. Also when I was purchasing this straightner I was afraid it would make my hair look limp because I have fine hair but, fortunately it actually makes my hair look fuller and super-shiny. Seriously if youre buying a straghtner this is the way to go. Its so much better than my 200$ straightner from Sephora, which I now use only as a curling iron.posted Jan 21, 2005Link to this post

ReneeFloridaIt Works!It really works!I used it on my daughters hair. Nothing short of a hot comb ever straightened out her tresses but this flat iron actually did the job without damaging her hair at all. It heats up quickly and the smooth plates dont snag and tug at your hair. The iron is very light and easy to handle. I am very pleased with this product.posted Jan 21, 2005Link to this post

ToryThe Best Thing Ever Made!!I absolutely love my new Sedu Hair straightener. All my life I have straightened my hair and pulled millions of pieces of hair out with other straighteners, but this one is incredible and does not pull out any hair! It also heats up in the blink of an eye and gets the job done in half the time. Now instead of always having my hair in a ponytail with frizzy hair, I were it down with my smoother, silkier hair.

SilvyaMassachusettsSedu - Great Ceramic Flat IronIm glad I read all the reviews and believed them, since it made me buy the flat iron. I couldnt be happier and it is money well spent - you definatelly get what you pay for. This is the 3rd ceramic flat iron I owe, the other 2 I bought for a fraction of the sedu, but it is well worth the money this is totally in another category.It heats in seconds, it doesnt pull your hair and it is so efficient that you only need to go through once for each portion of hair.I have lots of hair and it is thick, coarse and frizzy, the sedu leaves my hair silky like babys hair and shiny - it has never been so straight in my life. Ive been getting a lot of compliments and questions.If you are like me and use this every day - it is definately a great investment.

SarahChicagoMy Hero!The Sedu flat iron is amazing! I seriously have the worst hair in America and I have tried everything to tame it. Buying this flat iron was my best move so far. The iron gets extremely hot very quickly and it makes doing my hair a fun, quick, and enjoyable experience. I would suggest this product to any and everybody. I used to have the Chi before this and it did not work nearly as well.

JustinToronto, CanadaGood ServiceI ordered the Sedu for my girlfriend as a late X-mas present. The shipping was a little hefty $21.00 to Canada by UPS Overnight Express, but I got it pretty quickly and I didnt have to pay any customs or duties, so I guess that was taken care of in the $21.00. I was really happy about that. The Sedu works great and is a lot better than her Conair metal iron. Her hair is pretty straight already, but the Sedu gets rid of some pouffy spots and makes it softer. She looks even hotter now that she has it!

AnnaMissouriSo Awesomethank you folica and thank you sedu. not only did i get an awesome product, i also found an awesome website. i was using an ancient huge flat iron that pulled my hair and was actually making my hair in worse condition. at the time i thought this was the best i could get. i am so glad i invested the mere $100 for the sedu. i was apprehensive about spending the money for a good flat iron. i found folicas website and the website is very user friendly and i REALLY appreciated all the reviews of the products. they also have the best prices that i found. i also appreciated that they are truthful reviews. needless to say i go my flat iron. free shipping!!! and when i got it -- it was more beautiful than i had imagined. folica sent me an email stating when my flat iron would arrive. it arrived on time and it works beautifully. i dont know how i went so long without it. in the reviews everyone said that it cut their time doing their hair in half. im here to tell you its true. my hair looks better than ever and it sure doesnt take nearly as long to do. i think its even 1/4 of the time it used to take. i love this product and i love folica!!! do yourselves a favor. make friends with sedu and folica.posted Jan 19, 2005Link to this post

Two Escape from Logan County Detention Center
(Russellville, KY) - On Sunday, January 26 two inmates escaped from the Logan County Detention Center. The inmates escaped the facility by kicking open their cell door and fleeing out of a fire escape door.
The first is Jason Wade Gaston of Russellville, KY. He is a 20 year old White Male with short blonde hair and blue eyes. He is 5ft 8in tall and weighs 185 lbs. He has a short buzz cut and a mustache. Gaston has five tattoos on his arms and back, however there are no descriptions available about the tattoos. He was being held on arson and criminal mischief charges.
The other escapee is David Anthony Harrison of Auburn, KY. He is a 22 year old White Male with brown hair and brown eyes. He is 6ft 1 in. tall and weighs 200 lbs. He has a tattoo on his right arm, however, the description is unknown. Harrison was being held on a murder charge.
The suspects were last known to be wearing orange pants and orange or white t-shirts, and were last seen running up 2nd Avenue on foot in the City Limits of Russellville.
Harrison & Gaston may possibly be in a 1995 model Black 4 door Pontiac Grand Prix with tinted windows bearing Kentucky Registration Plate 925BVR.
These suspects may also be with a female who is wanted for aiding in their escape. The female is Rose M. Rogers of Russellville, KY. She is a 33 year old white female with brown hair and brown eyes. She is 5ft 4in. tall and weighs 124 lbs.
These suspects are supposedly en route to an unknown location in Florida. Several agencies including Hopkinsville PD Aerial Support Unit searched the area and checked several residences attempting to locate the suspects.
You should not try to approach these suspects. They should be considered armed and dangerous. Any information should be forwarded The Kentucky State Police Bowling Green Post at (270) 782-2010 or by calling toll free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state).
