I posit an increase in catches and YPG -- I think he heds up with between 60 and 70 catches and ~1000 yards.
Wow, right now Wallace is at about 18.4 YPC. I think his catches will increases but his average will drop off ...

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups may possible be the most popular candy of all time. It is highly coveted in Halloween candy bags, a big player in the birthday party goody bag scene, and an event piñata favorite. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups have inspired flavored cereals, chocolate spreads, dessert bars and ice cream. And not the iconic candy has inspired its own Dunkin Donuts creation.
The new Dunkin Donuts Reese's Peanut Butter Square Donut is making an appearance this month at locations everywhere. This square creation features rather brightly shaded orange icing over a chocolate frosted donut with peanut butter cup flavored filling. May be just a bit too sweet for most of us here at FoodFacts. We thought we'd take a look at what's gone into making this donut.
Nutrition Facts
Calories: 370
Fat: 19 grams
Sugar: 26 grams
It's sweet. And it has 19 grams of fat. And that's not the way we like to start our days. Now let's see what's gone into the creation.
INGREDIENTS: Donut: Enriched Wheat Flour (Flour, Malted Barley Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Water, Palm Oil, Yeast Donut Concentrate [Soy Flour, Salt, Pregelatinized Wheat Starch, Whey (Milk), Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Baking Soda, Nonfat Milk, Gum Blend (Cellulose, Guar, Acacia, Carrageenan, Xanthan), Sodium Caseinate (Milk), Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Eggs, Soybean Oil, Soy Lecithin, Natural and Artificial Flavor, Annatto and Turmeric (Colors)], Dextrose, Soybean Oil, Yeast, Mono and Diglycerides; Reese's® Peanut Butter Buttercreme Filling: Powdered Sugar (Contains Corn Starch as processing aid), Vegetable Shortening (Palm Oil, Canola Oil, Mono and Diglycerides, Polysorbate 60), Peanut Butter (Peanuts, Peanut Oil, Sugar, Salt, Corn Starch), Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup. Contains 2% or less of each of the following: Salt, Caramel Color (Sulfites), Potassium Sorbate (Preservative), Citric Acid, Sodium Benzoate (Preservative); Chocolate Icing: Sugar, Water, Cocoa, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Soybean Oil, Corn Syrup, Maltodextrin, Contains 2% or less of: Dextrose, Corn Starch, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean and/or Cottonseed Oil, Salt, Potassium Sorbate and Sodium Propionate (Preservatives), Soy Lecithin (Emulsifier), Agar, Artificial Flavor; Orange Icing: [White Icing: Sugar, Water, Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean and/or Cottonseed Oil, Contains 2% or less: Maltodextrin, Dextrose, Soybean Oil, Corn Starch, Artificial Flavor, Salt, Titanium Dioxide (Color), Sodium Propionate and Potassium Sorbate (Preservatives), Citric Acid, Polyglycerol Esters of Fatty Acids, Agar, Soy Lecithin (Emulsifier); Orange Coloring: Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Glycerin, Modified Food Starch, Sugar, Carrageenan Gum, Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate (Preservatives), Xanthan Gum, Citric Acid; May Contain FD&C Blue 1, FD&C Blue 2, FD&C Red 3, FD&C Red 40, FD&C Yellow 6, FD&C Yellow 5].
While Dunkin Donuts isn't known for healthy ingredients, we'd like to point out that this particular donut stands out for containing far more controversial items than most donuts on their menu – an astounding 25 to be exact. That's really unbelievable … even for Dunkin.
This isn't the peanut butter cup of our dreams … the ingredient list reads like a terrible nightmare. Dunkin has to do better than this one.

Road bikes are built to face different challenges than MTBs. Does this lead to difference in the crank strenght versus weight optimization? Will road cranks tackle to the occasional bump onto a stone on the trail?
Bicycles Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people who build and repair bicycles, people who train cycling, or commute on bicycles. Join them; it only takes a minute:

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
In general, road cranks are lighter because they use less material than mtb cranks. Mtb cranks use more material so they can handle more abuse. Compatibility aside, I would be cautious in using road cranks for much more than cyclocross duty. You may never have a problem, but do you really want to find out the hard way?

Explaining Race-Tinged Presidential Bid To Kids
This year's historic presidential campaign has given parents repeated opportunities to talk to kids about race. American families are talking about the candidates, and the role that race is playing in the campaign. But what are they telling the kids, especially over the past few weeks as the campaign has gotten more intense? And is it a new and tricky topic for most parents?
Some parents may choose to shield their children from these things. But others may find that impossible or prefer to use this as an opportunity to engage their children and challenge them to think about how they deal with these attitudes in their own lives.
Mocha Moms Jolene Ivey, Leslie Morgan Steiner, Renee Amoore and Joan Countryman talk about when to have those discussions, and why it is important to do so.
Remember, with Tell Me More the conversation never ends. We'd like to know: Have you found yourself talking with your children about race, ethnicity or gender or religion in connection with the presidential campaign? What are you saying? And what are they saying?

(+) Location - We stayed in this hotel for 6 nights in October 2012, the location is perfect, 10 minutes (by walking) from the Louvre,2 minutes from the Concorde. 15-20 minutes from the roisybus station (bus that takes you to/from the airport).
(-) There is no elevator so you need to use the stairs to get to your room.
The street is quiet, except for the garbage machine that collect the garbage in the morning.
The room is pretty clean and pretty big for Paris but during our stay i don't think that our sheets were replaced by new/clean, we had to ask a soap from the reception because it wasn't replaced, and big towels.But when we asked, we got all we needed right a way.
(+) The staff is very nice and helpfull.
(+) There is a safe in each room inside the mini bar, we didn't know it until we got there, they don't mention it.
Nice, quiet hotel.

- La Sanguine Hotel

Following last night's Coldplay iHeartRadio benefit concert at Club Nokia, I was lucky enough to share a pair of tickets with another Coldplay fan who won them from The World Famous KROQ for a special Jimmy Kimmel Live! outdoor mini-concert / block party (or "bloq" party) behind the El Capitan Theater, where the regular show is shot in studio. Some of the songs performed at this concert will be broadcast on a special post Academy Award special of the JKL! show, following the Oscars telecast. This concert was originally scheduled for February 7, 2012, and rescheduled for tonight, February 9th.

Trash Dakota Fanning: No Rape Scene for You, Young Lady!
Weirdly enough, investors for the new Dakota Fanning movie where she gets brutally raped are getting cold feet, and have decided to de-invest.
Investors have withdrawn cash from controversial movie HOUNDDOG - which sees child actress DAKOTA FANNING appear in graphic rape scenes. The child star's mother and agent are hopeful that Fanning's part in the controversial film will win her an Oscar but the team has been lambasted by critics who fear the role will jeopardise her childhood and horrified investors have withdrawn some funding after seeing the upsetting scenes. A crew member says, "The movie is dynamite in every sense of the word. I think it will shock people, especially in the deep south where it is set, because of the rape scenes and others in which Dakota is stripped down to her underpants, but in pure theatrical terms it will either become a cult classic or surprise everyone by sweeping the board with awards.
You hear that, eight-year-old girls across America? Get a rape scene, get an Oscar. (And we thought Barbie was a bad influence!)

Growing numbers of young Chinese women are getting nose jobs modelled on the Eiffel Tower in an attempt to secure employment in a country where beauty is seen as paramount.
Wang Xuming, in Chongqing, central China, says that he carries out dozens of Eiffel nose jobs a month. The surgery named after the Paris landmark creates a narrower bridge and sharper tip — a look more commonly found in Western women. The surgery costs £6,000.
"Some students face a lot of employment pressure after graduation. If their facial features are good, they'll have more chance of finding a job," Dr Wang

I have heard many claim that it doesn't matter how full a drive is until it starts cutting into temp and virtual memory space.
This doesn't make sense to me, given the nature of how the data is transacted on a hard drive. The inside of the platter presents less data per revolution than the outside of the drive does, by significant factors. The inside 40% of the radius of full size hard drive is used for the spindle, so only the outside 60% is used for data storage, but that still means that the inside track of a hard drive presents data 60% slower than the outside track.
By my calculation, a Hard drive that is only 10% full should perform about 2.25 times faster than a hard drive that is 90% full, assuming that the flow is constrained by other factors.
Am I wildly off base here? For all the drives I know, even the top speeds of the first 1% of the drive would be well within the bandwidth provided by a SATA 2 connection.

Howdo you get the top recruit achievment
Im in my 15 season and im with Duke and i still can't get the achievment ive won 3 national championships with duke i need help!!!!!
Have you looked at the achievement guide ? I'm pretty sure it'll tell you in there.
Heres the guide - http://www.xbox360achievements.org/guide.php?gameID=407
I know you have to sign a guy in the top ten but how do you get them to sign with you ive gotten there intret to 100 and they didnt sign
The most effective strategy I used to sign one is by recruiting younger players like freshman and sophomore and by their senior year just hope they are top 10.
Yeah this one is tough. The best thing to do is to build up your recruiting grade until it is an A+, then like ScubaSteve said, start recruiting a 5 star freshman or sophomore. It is really kind of a crapshoot because you dont know where the young guys will go. I got a #36 recruit with Valparaiso but still havent gotten a top 10 guy yet. Another key is to look for 5 star guys in your state. If you are doing Duke, look in NC because they seem to generally be more likely to have the "Stay close to home" characteristic. If you are a big school, have an A+ recruiting grade, and choose young 5 star guys in your state, you should eventually pick one up.
I still cant get the stupid stinking top ten recruit anymore suggestions?
Looking through these threads, doesn't look like this will be an easy one. I just finished one season where I won the natl champ, and figured that would help me. I start recruiting the top 10. Spent all this dag on time going to visit em, etc. I think the max I had them at was 57% for one, but there were a couple A's and B's in there. So I am thinking i am good. I get to recruiting day, and I be ____ if all those lil punks didn't go to other schools. Complete waste of time.
does this work during simulation as well do should i perform all drills to improve their ranking?
are you doing open or career legacy?
This achievement sucks!!!!! It took me forever to get it! I finally got it by just concentrating on HS FR and SO that already had interest in my school. It still took like 6 seasons of doing that before I got it. This one really got nder my skin!! :D

Fort King George Historic Site
Darien, GA 31305
Built by South Carolina colonists in 1721, Fort King George was the southernmost fortification defending the British empire in North America. Though it only lasted six short years until 1727, the fort served a monumental role toward the later establishment of Georgia. Today, Fort King George Historic Site, operated by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Parks and Historic Sites division, hosts several thousand visitors a year. Our award-winning programs teach visitors about this monumental structure and how Georgia came to exist as the 13th British colony in North America.

Notwithstanding the considerable advances in the treatment options for schizophrenia, the cognitive symptoms in particular are not receptive to antipsychotic treatment and considered one of the main predictors for poor social and functional outcome of the disease. Recent findings in preclinical model systems indicate that epigenetic modulation might emerge as a promising target for the treatment of cognitive disorders. The aim of this review is to introduce some of the principles of chromatin biology to the reader and to discuss a possible role in the neurobiology and pathophysiology of schizophrenia. We will discuss potential epigenetic targets for drug therapy, including histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi). In a second part, conceptual and practical challenges associated with clinical trials of chromatin-modifying drugs in psychiatric patient populations are discussed, including safety profiles, the potential for adverse effects and general issues revolving around pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Additional investigations are required in order to fully evaluate the potential of HDACi and similar "epigenetic therapies" as novel treatment options for schizophrenia and other psychotic disease.

Andrew Cunanan
A Murder Binge Makes a Chilling Stranger An All-Too-Familiar Face
In July, when Cunanan shot and killed the Italian fashion designer, he gained both the attention he craved and a perverse link to that magical combination of fame and money. Cunanan liked to tell people that he came from a rich family or had his own business. What he really had was a sideline in drug dealing and a thing for S&M.
Before reaching Gianni Versace, Cunanan claimed four other victims in a two-week spree that began on April 27: ex-Navy lieutenant Jeffrey Trail, 28, a close friend; Minneapolis architect David Madson, 33, a former lover; Chicago developer Lee Miglin, 72, whose relationship to Cunanan, if any, remains a mystery; and William Reese, 45, a cemetery caretaker in New Jersey, whose pickup truck Cunanan stole for the last leg of his journey. Then he carried out the murder that would make him a household name, as well as a bogeyman who frightened millions with the thought that he could be just around the corner. "A fascinating, terrible creature of our time," says writer Dominick Dunne, who named a character Cunanan in his latest novel, Another City, Not My Own, about the O.J. Simpson trial.
As a fugitive, Cunanan behaved more like the quarry in a romantic pursuit. At nearly every crime scene, he left obvious clues. Cornered at last on a Miami Beach houseboat, he shot himself to death. His father, ex-stockbroker Modesto, is convinced that Andrew was a pawn in some vast conspiracy. "Things just do not add up," he laments. But perhaps the explanations are not all that mysterious. Cunanan loved to be sought after. And, for a few convulsive weeks last summer, he was the most wanted man in America.

Pink Tulips - California Every year right around the start of February I start yearning for more color in my life. The part of the world where I live is not uniformly white in the dead of winter, but like most places the California coast is not as vibrant as it is other times of the year. What makes me start to search out color is an unconscious anticipation of spring - brought about by the first of the winter rains. That first speck of moisture has turned the normally brown wild grasses green and the Acacia trees are starting to put out their tiny yellow blossoms (jam packed with pollen by the way). The ornamental fruit trees are blooming but the "real" fruit trees' fragrant blossoms are weeks away and the poppies, foxgloves, and sunflowers of summer are still little more than seeds. What I crave are the true colors of spring - and tulips are my winter surrogate. Red/ Orange Tulips - My Kitchen The tulip of choice does not come from my yard (I found out the hard way that gophers love tulips) but rather from a small greenhouse producer in Soquel, California that I buy at a little farm stand on the way to my son's school. I say on the way because I am generally disappointed if I wait until the afternoon to buy some- like me it seems many others need a reminder of the coming spring. This farmer is tiny - producing flowers off of a mere quarter million bulbs every year. But the quality of the product is spectacular and every year it seems there is a new color or variety. Greenhouse Tulips - California Another thing I like about tulips is that they are an incredibly diverse and successful perennial - of the 2.5 billion tulips produced worldwide every year, most can be grown in the same geographic area they are sold. In a world where the production of flowers has become a global business and supply chains can stretch for thousands of miles, the tulip has the advantage of being able to literally put down roots almost anywhere. You may not be fortunate enough to have a tulip producer right up the street but chances are there is one fairly close by. Bulbs Just Out of Cold Storage - Virginia Tulips are a cool climate plant that require a period of dormancy every year in order to produce a flower. This is done commercially by storing bulbs in giant coolers until they are ready to be planted or placed in a greenhouse. Growers can also use this method to regulate the size of their crop - chilling larger or smaller amounts to match demand. This makes the ramp up in volume for holidays like Valentine's Day much easier. Valentine's Day - Texas Tulips have been commercially cultivated for 400 years and their origins date back even further. Indigenous to Central Asian countries like Iran, Afghanistan and Turkey, the tulip (or lale) was so highly valued its bulbs were once used as currency. Even today the rights for a new variety will cost upwards of a million dollars. Holland has long held the reins as the center of the tulip universe - but France, Japan, New Zealand and Chile are all major bulb producers. Greenhouse Tulips - California For me the lofty tulip has a much simpler purpose as part of my "winter emergence" routine - I buy a bunch towards the end of the week and for the next several days I watch the mystery of cell expansion unfold. When tulips are harvested the cells of the plant are tight and compressed. As the plant ages these cells open up making the bloom larger and the stems longer (and weaker). This "goose neck" effect is another in a long list of things I love about this elegant flower. Prized White Tulips - Virginia Mostly though, it's the color - the tulip is another example of the timing and artistry of Mother Nature. Just when you think winter will go on forever, we get a short intense reminder that spring is not far away. Thanks to James Flagg, Josiah Leet, and Bob Flood for contributing to this post.

I've been extremely busy, so this blog has gone by the wayside this year. Not that there's much to report, however. We're in a drought watch (the lowest level and not really a drought yet), but the lawn is dormant and temperatures are too high to bother trying to keep it awake.
The gardens are doing very well, so I've highlighted some of the better images below.
A rarity this season, but we did get a double rainbow tonight as a series of storms rolled through and dropped over an inch of rain! That almost doubles our total so far for July, and might restore the grass a little bit.
This is immediately post-storm and I haven't swept the mulch back into the garden. Still, you can see these are doing well.
A Madagascar periwinkle. Although gorgeous, these are difficult to start, slow to grow, and don't really show off well until July. They probably won't appear in the garden again, except via volunteers.
An Inca II Gold marigold. These are 3-4" puffballs on 12" plants, and very showy. They'll definitely find homes again next year, and will partially replace the zinnia to cover the yellow part of the spectrum. I still have to see performance in August and September, but so far these started strong right out of the gate and just kept getting better.

It's Been Too Long!
I've been extremely busy, so this blog has gone by the wayside this year. Not that there's much to report, however. We're in a drought watch (the lowest level and not really a drought yet), but the lawn is dormant and temperatures are too high to bother trying to keep it awake.

An Early Start
The summer garden plants are getting a bit of an early start this year. After rampant fungus issues in the gardens last year, I've cut the zinnia to give the soil a year to rest and get rid of the disease spores, at least a little.
One of the replacement flowers is annual vinca.
Those need to start about four months before planting, which is exactly today. So I have most of a flat planted and on the warmer. I chose both Jaio and Pacifica vinca, in the red ranges.

2015 Lawn Additons
This year's lawn additions didn't differ too much from last year, except that I had sufficient fertilizer on-hand to winterize correctly.
This year's heavy hitter was soybean meal, as usual, and I skipped the corn application. That turned out to be a slight mistake as the summer resulted in small amounts of brown patch. In the future, I'll make sure to use it.
The ferrous sulfate resulted in a bit of color enhancement for late in the season. It's subtle, but my soil iron levels can always use the help.
The Vigoro Super Green has a bit more slow release nitrogen than I generally recommend, but I'm seeing a very mild winter coming.

October Soybean Meal Down
I snuck some time late this afternoon and got the October application of soybean meal down. Like last month, it was just a hair early, but if it had rained just as I finished I'd only be off schedule by seven hours. Rain isn't expected until late tonight or tomorrow.
This application should become available around October 20th, depending on the weather, and will gently feed the lawn through the remainder of the season.
This is the last organic feeding of the year. The only remaining application will be winterization, which will generally be around Thanksgiving. At some point after that, I'll post the complete list of 2015 lawn applications.
Sunday, September 27, 2015
Kelp, Humic Acid, Prodiamine Down!
I also put down the soil conditioner, but that wouldn't fit easily in the headline!
As of today, I've applied the remaining dose of Prodiamine, 0.33 tablespoons per thousand square feet, to bring myself up close to 1.5 tablespoons per thousand this year. The old April-applied shield is calculated to drop in early October, so this will carry me through late November. Post that, sprouting weeds aren't generally of much concern, if any.
We're expecting modest amounts of rain in the next three days, so this won't need to be watered in.
Since I was already hauling out the hose-end sprayer, I also applied a little over 3 ounces each of kelp extract, humic (and fulvic) acid, and soil conditioner (6% sodium lauryl sulfate in water).
The kelp is supposed to gently encourage root growth, supply trace minerals, and supply tiny amounts of micronutrients and macronutrients. In practice, it does seem to improve the lawn a bit, and the gardens moderately.
Humic acid is supposedly a good feed for the soil fungi, adds a tiny touch of organic matter, and will raise the soil's exchange capacity just the tiniest hair. In practice, I can't say I see much effect one way or the other, but I have plenty on-hand so I use it.
The soil conditioner is sodium lauryl sulfate (6%) diluted in water. Use of a few ounces per thousand square feet really does soften the soil and increase water infiltration. I've conditioned the soil so well and added so much organic material that one or two applications per year are all that's required, but I do use more in the gardens to function as a surfactant for the kelp and anything else I need to have stick to the leaves.
Applications of all three (kelp, humic acid, and soil conditioner) can theoretically be done up to monthly at 2 to 4 ounces per thousand square feet. My kelp and soil conditioner usage in the garden generally exceeds that, but with watering well, buildup is extremely unlikely to occur.

Breaking The One Third Rule
The One Third Rule: Always mow your lawn before it's half again the normal mow height--so that you never mow off more than one third of the blade.
The mower is currently out on the north face, mowing away, and blatantly breaking the one third rule. This time, it's more like the one half rule or even a touch more. The grass is pushing six inches easily.
However, we're now on Day 12 without any appreciable rain (Day 9 with no rain at all), and temperatures holding in the mid seventies to mid eighties. Mowing under those conditions would have invited a burn.
I've spent the last three evenings watering, so the ground is now moist and more normal rainfall is expected next week and the week following.
In this instance, I don't expect any serious side effects, although the grass' growth will slow temporarily while it recovers from the shock. In late September, in tolerable weather, and on freshly irrigated soil, the shock should be minimal.

2015 Garden Additions
It's very early for me to be posting this, but I've finished with all garden additions for the year that will be recorded on the chart. There's still a modest amount of calcitic lime to be applied in October when the plants are removed, but that won't supply any of the major nutrients and won't be placed on the chart.
The corn meal in late August was to fight alternaria blight, and it worked very well. Although I lost wide swatches of zinnia, I had plenty of surviving volunteers to replant the open areas. Those new zinnia are now starting to blossom.
Overall, levels of organic feeding rose this year, not quite doubling last year's totals. I find that the garden does better when fed a bit more heavily.
N, P, K, iron, and organics are the amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, iron, and organic mass per thousand square feet, in pounds. The notes indicate what was used, except for the total line, where it tells you the total organic poundage used through the garden that year.

September Soybean Meal
I had time today, so I already dropped the September soybean meal at 15 pounds per thousand square feet. Sure, it's a hair early, but even if it rained right now I'd only have jumped the gun by a bit over 12 hours.
It doesn't look as though this will water in until later this week.
The August feeding darkened the lawn noticeably, but the lack of rain has taken a slight toll. I need to take photos of the lawn. All things considered, it looks pretty good.
After this, there's one more organic feeding on October 1st or so, followed by a synthetic feeding for winterization when the grass ceases growth but is still green. That's usually around Thanksgiving.

A Few Good Questions
Dear Reader questions recently include:
How long does Milorganite take to work? --I've answered this before, but it bears repeating. It's about three weeks to full effect, assuming decent rainfall and tolerably good soil. Milorganite does contain some fast nitrogen, so you may certainly notice some impact on your lawn or gardens much faster than that.
However, Milorganite does not generally work quickly, and several applications may be necessary to build the biology and protein levels to a point where sustained, good effects are apparent.
Can you combine Milorganite and blood meal? --Yes, but be a bit careful. Milorganite has 40% or so fast nitrogen, which can burn plants when combined with blood meal's very high and very strong levels of fast nitrogen. I'd probably separate applications of the two, or use the blood meal at very low levels.
What's the comparison of lime vs. Milorganite? --There's actually no comparison. Lime is either dolomitic (magnesium plus calcium) or calcitic (calcium only with very little or no magnesium). Lime raises calcium (and magnesium in the case of dolomite) levels in the soil, usually raising the pH of the soil.
Milorganite is a feeding, although it does contain about 1% calcium as well. Overall, any pH change of the soil should be minimal to slightly acidic, and it won't appreciably raise calcium levels at normal usage.
Sunday, August 9, 2015
Soybean Meal Down
The first "fall" (really, late summer) feeding is down on the lawn--15 pounds per thousand square feet of soybean meal. I actually did it last week, I just neglected to blog about it.
It takes about three weeks to decay in, so it should be available to the lawn around August 21st or so, given normal rainfall. At the moment, the soil is somewhat dry, so decay won't be quite that speedy.
The next feeding will be around September 1st, and the last organic feeding for the year on October 1st. Post that, I'll winterize with a high nitrogen synthetic when the grass stops growing, which will be around Thanksgiving. However, that date varies very widely depending on the year.
Happy Solar Fall!
Actually, it began on August 5th, but I neglected to blog about it.
Solar fall is the twelve weeks a year of greatest downward change in day lengths. So for the Northern Hemisphere, it began August 5th and continues through November 5th when we start solar winter (the period of lowest light for 12 weeks).
It's not that the gardens and lawn aren't still in summer mode--they are--it's just that the highest light period for the year has ended. With proper care, gardens look great into October in this area, and lawns can flourish ten to twelve months a year.

Early August Photos
Traditionally, this is the worst time of year for lawns, but gardens are generally doing well. This year, rainfall has been common and heavy enough (more than heavy enough) that the lawn is also doing very well. There are, however, a few minor brown patch infections in it, currently being held at bay but not improving. I may end up having to treat those with a fungicide, little though I like to do that.
First, the standard lawn shot. As always, click to embiggen. Color is characteristically not as dark this time of year as the sun is very high and bright, and that's holding true so far.
The comparison shot has attained some popularity. Although not as green as May or September, it's still doing better than most other lawns. The darker area is in the shade of a pear tree.
The gardens are doing fantastically well this year, to the point that plants are competing with each other. Some have had to be removed as they were choked out by others, but there really aren't too many holes.
Here's another face of the back garden. The Color Spectacle dahlia isn't in bloom yet as the entire plant broke in an early July thunderstorm, but should be along shortly.
The Blue Boy dahlia didn't break completely. So although smaller than average right now, they're starting to bloom.
Monday, June 29, 2015
Late June Photos
These aren't the official July Fourth photos just yet, when I traditionally photograph the end of the early season flower and lawn development. These are just extras for fun, and due to the fact that we've had so few days without rain that I'll snag any excuse to slip outside for a bit into the sun.
As always, click on any photo to embiggen it.
The first shot, as always, is the traditional lawn photograph. Again this time, I took it before mowing the north face but after mowing the back. You can see that the lack of sunlight is taking its toll on the grass quality a bit, although the back has already improved since yesterday. Quality is tolerable, color is only OK due to the iron binding in the wet soil.
The general garden shot. The gardens are doing fairly well, but would bloom more heavily in more sunlight.
Another face of the garden. This one features plenty of dahlia and celosia. I probably won't be growing the celosia again next year as development is not impressive until very late.
The red Figaro dahlia are doing very well and will be making an encore appearance next year. This is a closeup of some of the blossoms on one single plant. A quick count shows 16 fresh blooms on this one plant, with dozens of developing buds.
Harlequin dahlia are something I use as an accent. They don't bloom nearly as copiously, but the color contrast is more than enough to make this an impressive plant in the garden. This plant isn't in as good a location and only features two or three blooms at once. Other Harlequin in better conditions will have a dozen simultaneous blossoms.
Here's a Fireworks dahlia. While an impressively copious bloomer, the blossoms themselves have too little impact from a distance. Unfortunately, these probably won't make the cut for next year.
The large dahlia are just beginning to bloom, with the first buds developing now. Blossom on this Sun Lady dahlia will be this week. These larger dahlia are more of a late-season flower, featuring two dozen blooms per bush from July through October. Flower sizes range from 4" (the Sun Lady and Blue Boy) to 8" (the Color Spectacle). I tend to avoid larger flowering dahlia as they require staking.
I have some baby swifts this year in a nest over the front door. While annoying--and dirty--I didn't catch the nest until the eggs were already in it, at which point I wouldn't dream of removing them. Once the babies are out of the nest, I'll remove it. Look closely here and you'll see four young swifts, getting large enough that they'll fly soon!

Pouring Rain
Two weeks ago, we were just beginning to exit a month long drought. Now, we've caught up. Although the official numbers show that we've received all of June's normal rainfall already (and a bit more), the numbers on my deck are somewhat more inflated due to the very local nature of the thunderstorms that have hit.
We received nearly four inches of rain yesterday evening alone, plus another quarter inch today, on top of the heavy rainfall we've received for the last two weeks. It finally cleared out, but more rain is projected for Thursday and again this weekend as the remnants of tropical storm Bill come through.
Soils are sodden, but that won't be a problem over the short term. There's really no way to do anything about this, so when it happens the only choice is to ride it out and wait for drier weather.
On the up side, plant growth in the gardens has been incredibly fast, and the grass has fully recovered from the shock it received from a very dry May.
Wednesday, June 10, 2015
Early June Photos
I've been rather remiss in showing off photos of the lawn and gardens. For the most part, the lawn has been nothing spectacular this year. The gardens have been fairly impressive.
The first image is the standard lawn shot, taken intentionally just as I'd finished the back zone mowing but not yet done the north face. Where it's grown in, the color and quality are excellent. Post-cutting, the limited damage from the month-long dry spell we had shows. This damage is reversing slowly as June so far features a large amount of rain.
The general north face garden photo also shows the grass in both zones. However, at least the generally hot weather has moved the gardens along much faster this year, with plant sizes more like July 4th than June 10th.
The larger dahlia are fairly well-developed, although two of these have been nibbled at by the rabbits. The Tabasco sauce spray has stopped that and they're growing in nicely now. And yes, I need to add mulch here!
The smaller Figaro red dahlia are doing well so far!
The red zinnia always do well, although they usually haven't divided stems this yearly. This year, they have.
And the ageratum. Most people report having some trouble with these. My only problem is keeping them constrained into their designed areas every year.

I have an IEnumerable list of date/value pairs that I am returning as a Json list to flot. However, when I call JsonResult(), the result looks like this:
[{"Date":date1, "Value":value1}, {"Date":date2, "Value":value2}...]
Flot is expecting
[[date1, value1], [date2, value2]...]
Is there any simple way to get the MVC framework to output objects like this or do I need to write my own seralizer / StringBuffer code? For that matter I don't even need to output the field names, just the values themselves.

I am trying to speed up my Numpy code and decided that I wanted to implement one particular function where my code spent most of the time in C.
I'm actually a rookie in C, but I managed to write the function which normalizes every row in a matrix to sum to 1. I can compile it and I tested it with some data (in C) and it does what I want. At that point I was very proud of myself.
Now I'm trying to call my glorious function from Python where it should accept a 2d-Numpy array.
The various things I've tried are
My function has the prototype
void normalize_logspace_matrix(size_t nrow, size_t ncol, double mat[nrow][ncol]);
So it takes a pointer to a variable-length array and modifies it in place.
I tried the following pure SWIG interface file:
%module c_utils
extern void normalize_logspace_matrix(size_t, size_t, double mat[*][*]);
extern void normalize_logspace_matrix(size_t, size_t, double** mat);
Then I would do (on Mac OS X 64bit):
> swig -python c-utils.i
> gcc -fPIC c-utils_wrap.c -o c-utils_wrap.o \
-I/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/6.2/include/python2.6/ \
-L/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/6.2/lib/python2.6/ -c
c-utils_wrap.c: In function '_wrap_normalize_logspace_matrix':
c-utils_wrap.c:2867: warning: passing argument 3 of 'normalize_logspace_matrix' from incompatible pointer type
> g++ -dynamiclib c-utils.o -o _c_utils.so
In Python I then get the following error on importing my module:
>>> import c_utils
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initc_utils)
Next I tried this approach using SWIG +
%module c_utils
#define SWIG_FILE_WITH_INIT
#include "c-utils.h"
%include "numpy.i"
%init %{
%apply ( int DIM1, int DIM2, DATA_TYPE* INPLACE_ARRAY2 )
{(size_t nrow, size_t ncol, double* mat)};
%include "c-utils.h"
However, I don't get any further than this:
> swig -python c-utils.i
c-utils.i:13: Warning 453: Can't apply (int DIM1,int DIM2,DATA_TYPE *INPLACE_ARRAY2). No typemaps are defined.
SWIG doesn't seem to find the typemaps defined in
numpy.i, but I don't understand why, because
numpy.i is in the same directory and SWIG doesn't complain that it can't find it.
With ctypes I didn't get very far, but got lost in the docs pretty quickly since I couldn't figure out how to pass it a 2d-array and then get the result back.
So could somebody show me the magic trick how to make my function available in Python/Numpy?

Gluten Free Quick Bread (egg and Dairy Free, Too)
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 1 hr
From Hodgson Mill's website. I have not tried this one yet, but it looks like a good basic recipe that you could add mix-ins to, if you liked.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup soy flour
- 2 cups cornmeal
- 1 cup brown rice flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons applesauce
- 2 1⁄2 cups water
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Grease a 9x5" loaf pan.
- Mix flours, baking powder and salt in large bowl.
- Add honey, applesauce and water. Mix well.
- It should be like a cake batter - add a little water if it's dry.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan, and bake for 1 hour or until lightly browned. Allow to cool in pan for a minute or two, then remove to cool completely on a wire rack.

I made this bread for a friend who is gluten-free. I thought it was very tasty, had good texture. Sort of like a mild but dense corn bread.
Well, maybe 3.5 stars :) Super easy, esp for GF bread. I used Bobs GF flour blend for the soy flour, subbed agave for honey used oil instead of applesauce and threw in 1 tsp Xantham gum. Also added 1 cup berries and vanilla. Was a very attractive loaf and not bad. Covered and left on counter overnight and it was fine the next morning though a little bit crumbly. Toasted up delicious!
This came out of the oven very dense & heavy. It tasted best when fresh out of the oven, with a cornbread flavor. I stored it covered in the refrigerator, and it did not serve or heat well as leftovers. May be better with a few adjustments?

The chemisorptions of hydrogen on aluminum arsenide clusters are studied with density functional theory (DFT). The on-top site is identified to be the most favorable chemisorptions site for hydrogen. And the Al-top site is the preferred one in the most cases for one hydrogen adsorption in (AlAs) n (n = 2, 5, 6, 8–15) clusters. Top on the neighboring Al and As atoms ground-state structures are found for two hydrogen adsorption on (AlAs) n except for (AlAs)2 cluster. The Al–As bond lengths decrease generally as the size of the cluster increases. And there is a slight increase in the mean Al–As bond lengths after H adsorption on the lowest-energy sites of the most AlAs clusters. In general, the binding energy of H and 2H are both found to decrease with an increase in the cluster size. And the result shows that large binding energies (BE) of a single hydrogen atom on small AlAs clusters and large highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular-orbital gaps for (AlAs)H and (AlAs)3H make these species behaving like magic clusters. Calculations on two hydrogen atoms on (AlAs) n clusters show large BE for (AlAs) n H2 with an odd number of n. The stability of these complexes is further studied from the fragmentation energies. (AlAs)7H2 and (AlAs)9H2 clusters are again suggested to be the stable clusters. On the other hand both the fragmentation energy and the binding energy for (AlAs)13H are close to the lowest values.

Mennonite Disabilities Committee, Inc.
Rating: 0 stars 0 0 review 140
1518 College Ave Goshen IN 46526 USA
The Mennonite Disabilities Committee (MDC) believes that because all persons are created in God's image, every human life has equal value. Acting on this, the Mennonite Disabilities Committee, as a ministry of Anabaptist and other participating congregations, recognizes the gifts of individuals with disabilities. MDC seeks to do this in ways that promote development of individuals, strengthen the family, and encourage continued congregational involvement. MDC provides long term residential housing for adults with developmental disabilities through two programs; the Merimna Homes and Goldenrod residential program. All MDC homes are "community integrated", meaning that disabled persons share their home with non-disabled caregiver companions. Up to three persons with disabilities live in each home. The six Merimna Homes are located in Goshen, IN. Residential homes at Goldenrod are east of Middlebury, IN.

Jefferson Memorial's Shows Signs of SinkingBreaking News
Underground, though, the problems may be huge: Slowly, almost imperceptibly, parts of the complex seem to be sinking into the mud.
It's probably not endangering the majestic 32,000-ton domed structure itself, although it's being monitored for movement.
The big problem seems to be a section of the sea wall that is breaking from the memorial's plaza and settling into the Tidal Basin. The "ring road" along the memorial's circumference also seems to be shifting, officials say.
Such movement is an alarming -- and chronic -- problem at the Jefferson Memorial, which was built in the late 1930s and early 1940s atop pilings and caissons sunk into an artificial mud flat that is about 100 feet deep. Engineers have been struggling for decades to keep everything firmed up.
The National Park Service, which oversees the 18-acre memorial site, is trying to see how bad the movement is this time and is wondering what it will take to fix it.
The current problems, at one of the most photogenic monuments in the country, were noticed early last year, said Stephen Lorenzetti, acting superintendent of the National Mall & Memorial Parks.
Since then, the western section of the sea wall, which separates the memorial complex from the Tidal Basin, has dropped in places about six inches below the plaza, which it adjoins...

This hotel is a very comfortable place to stay on the edge of districts that contain many of the interesting sights in Berlin. Those who enjoy walking will find it convenient to Checkpoint Charlie and the museum about the Berlin Wall, the national history museum, and the canal where a river tour boat can be boarded. A tram station is nearby for longer excursions. The businesses and restaurants around the hotel seemed to close early, but the bistro in the hotel is a good option. The room was very quiet, clean and well furnished. It was very nice to have a small refrigerator in the room, and the spacious shower/tub was a luxury. There are English language TV news selections as well as German programs among the available TV channels. ...

Recently built hotel in Mitte. Nothing exciting in near proximity, but you are well located between the East and West parts. Walking distance to Alexanderplatz and Branderburger Tor. German minimalism in rooms and public spaces, but rooms are large enough. I got a good room rate and was overall satisfied.

Analysis, modeling and solution of the concrete delivery problem
This paper describes a specific local search approach to solve a problem arising in logistics which we prove to be NP-hard. The problem is a complex scheduling or vehicle routing problem where we have to schedule the tours of concrete mixer vehicles over a working day from concrete-producing depots to concrete-demanding customers and vice versa. We give a general mixed integer programming model which is too hard to solve for state of the art mixed integer programming optimizers in the case of the usually huge problem instances coming from practice. Therefore we present a certain local search approach to be able to handle huge practical problem instances.

Europa Universalis IV Review
Ahistory at its finest.
Latest news
Paradox Interactive releases information on Europa Universalis IV Patch 1.16
With the release of Europa Universalis IV's next expansion - Mare Nostrum - coming tomorrow afternoon, Paradox Interactive has revealed the full patchnotes for v1.16, which adds a bunch of free content to the grand strategy game.
We won't give you the full changelog because it's absolutely huge, but we can tell you that the Patch will add a new religion called Fetishist, which is a Pagan religion that's unique to Africa. There's new mapmodes, national ideas, 15 achievements, AI tweaks and more...
Paradox devs discuss bringing women into grand strategy
Video games have produced, by and large, a male-dominated subculture. The ESA reminds you every year that roughly half of game players are female, but that's speaking of games in a very broad sense that covers the mobile and social markets. Certainly in terms of traditional gaming, and in online communities, diversity is the exception rather than the rule.
The Cossacks expansion released for Europa Universalis IV alongside 1.14 patch
Paradox Interactive has announced that not only is the sixth major expansion for Europa Univeralis IV, The Cossacks, now available, but the game is getting a new 1.14 update as well.
The Cossacks expansion for Europa Universalis IV gets 1 December 2015 release date
Paradox Interactive has announced that The Cossacks expansion for Europa Universalis IV will be invading on 1 December 2015. The expansion revolves around the Ukrainian semi-nomadic peoples who played a role in Russian history.
Europa Universalis IV's latest expansion is all about the Cossacks
Europa Universalis IV is set to get another content-heavy expansion soon, and the fact that it's going to be called The Cossacks is something of a clue as to what it will be based around.
The Cossacks were the mostly Slavic warrior tribes that protected the borders and wilderness of Russia for hundreds of years. Their skilled horsemanship and militarised society made them invaluable soldiers for the Russian Empire up until the 20th century.

The Century Council against Drunk Driving reports nearly 40% of eighth graders admit to consuming alcohol at least once.
Dothan high school's "Students against Destructive Decisions" better known as SADD, says that number is too high.
The group is on a mission to save lives by promoting healthy lifestyle alternatives.
Dothan High SADD members are a group of talented, motivated, and busy people.
They're working around the clock to get things in order for their state convention, which will be held here in Dothan Saturday.
This is the first time a state SADD convention has been held outside of Montgomery or Birmingham.
"We've asked Craig Tornquist, professional comedian to do shows at each one of the middle schools to get the kids excited and preach the message about the dangers of destructive decisions," said Christopher Payne, Dothan High SADD Director.
The Dothan High's SADD Chapter hosted the presentation for students at Girard Middle School.
Payne says 8th graders are at a critical point in their lives.
"These kids feed into our high school and the age on onset for destructive decisions is around 11 and 12 years old."
Preventing underage drinking and other risky behavior is the group's mission.
The 2009 survey on drug use and health reports nearly 10.5-Million youth between ages 12 to 20 report current alcohol consumption.
"I hope this message will have an effect on our students," said Girard Middle School Principal Greg Yance.
It's the group's passion and dedication that's bringing the SADD state convention to Dothan.
"We're all so excited and we've been preparing all year to host the convention here," said Alexis Smith, SADD Member.
"We're going to showcase with our chapter volunteering. Over the last year and a half we've gone over 11,000 hours of community service," said Payne.
"So many organizations call us to come help them out. I think the community is seeing what a great impact we can help them do," said Smith.
SADD is counting on students from across the Wiregrass to watch, listen and partake in the simulations.
"We've invited all the SADD chapters in the area, dignitaries in Dothan who are coming," said Smith.
The SADD state convention is at the Dothan Civic Center Saturday February 12th from 8:00am until 5:00pm.

South Sydney Rabbitohs and James Maloney meet over milkshake
WAS Souths' desperate search for a halfback sealed over a milkshake at Cafe Zigolini's this week?
Souths Sydney Rabbitohs chief executive Shane Richardson met New Zealand Warriors star James Maloney and his manager Wayne Beavis at the Woollahra establishment on Monday afternoon.
No one ate, Maloney opting instead to have two milkshakes.
Souths are one of seven clubs to show interest in Maloney, who will play with the New Zealand Warriors next year before becoming a free agent in 2013.
The Rabbitohs appear to be favourites to sign Maloney, who has emerged from fringe first grader to one of the game's top-tier players.

IRS IT: $2.4 Billion But Not World-Class
Perhaps the most suspicious thing about the disappearance of Lois Lerner's emails is that the IRS is not a small business operation that cannot afford high-quality computer, email, and backup systems. It is a huge modern bureaucracy that has computer technology at the core of its operations. The IRS IT budget in 2014 is a massive $2.4 billion (page 149 here).
Ex-Im Bank Weakens American Capitalism
One of the policy fissures in the Republican Party is over business subsides, and the current debate about the Export-Import Bank illustrates the conflict. The Ex-Im Bank is one of many corporate welfare or crony capitalist programs that litter the federal budget. The Bank's authorization runs out in September, and so Congress must act if it wants to extend the operations of this business subsidy machine.
Border Patrol Spending
A tragedy is unfolding in Texas as thousands of illegal immigrants are pouring over the southern border. Alex Nowrasteh has examined the immigration statistics here. But in this blog, let's take a look at the budget situation.
Congress May Hike VA Spending $400 Billion
Last week the Senate voted to greatly increase health care spending for veterans. If the new spending were made permanent, it would cost at least $385 billion over 10 years, as Nicole Kaeding noted. The House version of the bill would cost at least $477 billion if made permanent. The chambers will now work out a compromise bill, and—going out on a limb here—I'm guessing that the compromise is also a budget buster.
Department of Homeland Bureaucracy
The programs, regulations, and laws that define most federal activities are so numerous and complex that it strangles effective governance. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is no exception. During the Hurricane Katrina disaster, DHS officials were in a fog of confusion, overwhelmed by events and all the complicated emergency rules and procedures.
Eric Cantor's Website
