In the garden
Planting perennials
Fall is the time to plant perennials including herbs. Because some favorites like basil and parsley are annuals planted in the spring, it's easy to forget that many herbs can be planted in the fall and enjoyed until Thanksgiving, or if the weather is mild like last year, all winter long. And herbs can always be planted in pots and brought inside.
"Now is a very good time to get perennial herbs in the ground," says Nicole Schermerhorn, co-owner of A Thyme to Plant at Lavender Fields Herb Farm. "It's cool enough that you want to be outside working in your garden, but still warm enough for the herbs."
"Typically we're also getting enough rain at this time of the year," adds Schermerhorn, "and you're home from vacation now so you can take care of your herbs and begin using them."
Hardy perennials to plant now include rosemary, sage, thyme, chives, fennel, mints, and parsley. The fennel and the mint will die back over the winter but come back in the spring.
"Planting now allows the herbs to establish roots over the winter," says Schermerhorn. "They'll flush out new growth in the spring."
Herbs can be planted in dedicated herb gardens, mixed with vegetables, or added to flower beds and borders. Their various textures and colors can be very attractive, and many people enjoy putting fragrant herbs along walks or driveways where they can easily be touched to release their scents. Culinary herbs should be planted near your kitchen so that harvesting them is easy and convenient. You'll use them more often.
In choosing a site, remember that most herbs require full sun, from 4 to 6 hours a day minimum, good drainage, and good air circulation. Good drainage is so important that Schermerhorn recommends planting herbs in raised beds.
"Clay soil," she says, "does not provide good drainage." She recommends a planting medium of one-third organic matter such as compost, one-third topsoil, and one-third builders' sand.
"Make sure it's builders' sand," says Schermerhorn. "It won't compact like play sand so it adds drainage."
Don't mulch herbs. "We put a handful of organic compost around our plants to dress them up and improve the soil," says Schermerhorn.
"Herbs do not like wet feet, and all mulch does in winter is keep their feet wet."
In fact, most herbs are considered drought-tolerant, though some moisture is needed during dry spells to keep the plants growing. In general, annuals require more moisture than perennials.
Herbs also don't require much fertilizer. Over-fertilizing an herb can produce growth that is too rapid, making the plant more susceptible to disease or insect problems and diluting the concentration of essential oils that produce the taste in culinary herbs. Herbs in pots are the exception. They should be lightly fertilized once a month during their growing season.
Using your herbs is important to keeping them healthy. Evergreen herbs can be cut and enjoyed in recipes or vases all winter.
"Herbs are designed to be used," says Schermerhorn. "Cutting them encourages new growth, so keep using your herbs."
Agencies combine on new entry point to Chickahominy
Canoeing and kayaking enthusiasts soon will have a new access point to the Chickahominy River. VDOT, the James River Association and Henrico County Parks and Recreation are teaming up to establish a new site in Eastern Henrico.
The James River Association negotiated the deal with VDOT to procure official access to the area located just east of I-295 on North Airport Road in Sandston. The site includes a park-and-ride commuter lot bordering the Chickahominy River and has been an unofficial launch site used by paddlers for years. > Read more.

Dylan's Wallflowers, Milwaukee's own Shades hand out Halloween treats
In a city that's grown accustomed in recent years to gratuitously theatrical groups like GWAR and Insane Clown Posse playing around Halloween, the Wallflowers is by comparison a pretty vanilla, plain-looking band to see on such a spirited holiday.
Frontman Jakob Dylan, son of Bob, acknowledged that the roots-rock group had no Halloween-appropriate songs to play during its Turner Hall set Wednesday (alas, there was no bizarre "Monster Mash" cover), although the band did spice up the no-fuss stage with a handful of pumpkins and a fake spider web on the piano. »Read Full Article(1)

It also criticizes the chief's statements after the shooting, which the legislators characterized as blaming the victim, Zina Haughton, for not cooperating with police.

Liberal groups complained that the signs — which were taken down last week — were concentrated in minority neighborhoods and intended to suppress voter turnout, though some were posted as far outside the city as Waukesha and Washington counties. »Read Full Blog Post(41)
Redistricting legal bills rise to $1.9 million
Madison - State taxpayers' legal bills for drawing and defending the new legislative and congressional maps approved by Republicans last year have risen by another $257,000, bringing the total to $1.9 million.
The latest amount settles the legal bills owed to a group of Democrats who sued over the maps and won part of their legal challenge when a federal court found that the maps violated the voting rights of Latinos in two Assembly districts on Milwaukee's south side. The maps have given Republicans a significant advantage for the next five fall elections. »Read Full Article(20)

Two to three (still better than my Palm Pre was!)
Need to charge? One to two times a day.
iPhone 3gs ios5.01....... 1 times and many little session!!
I would love to try your app. I recharge throughout the day.
Sadly, 2 to 3. I got a 3GS and the iOS 5 release has hurt the battery life.
Only once if I'm lucky :)
3 times a day
I charge my 4S at least once, fully, in the middle of the day at work.
Oh, and of course in the morning, before heading out.
Yep this would come in very handy in deed. I'm charging overnight then by the time I get home from work she is running on fumes and I charge it again. On the odd occasion I have not made it home and had to charge in the car, but I do spend a fair amount of time either on the phone or messaging / emailing folks.
Nice app.
Once every one or two days. 4S.
At least twice a day.
usually 1.5 times
I keep my phone charging the whole day, in the office, at home and in the car. I am only on battery when I'm not at one of those places.
About 1-2 times a day, this app would be awesome to try
Twice a day. Depending on how busy I am and home many emails I get and how many audiobooks and podcast I listen to.
With my 4S, usually only once a day with medium usage. Was expecting a big improvement in battery life over my 3GS with the 4S and iOS 5. Sadly, its maybe only 10-15% or so better.
Just once a day (every night)
once a day
One full charge per day and then mini charges while in the car or at my computer.
Two to three times a day
Very Nice wsbtiee. I built mine and i was looking for some design ideas and your wsbtiee gave me some. Did you develop the wsbtiee alone?Thanks
goes in the charger every night. Usually has 30-50% charge remaining
How many? Geeez...so many I can't count because I'm always connecting it wherever I'm at. Have a charger in my house, my car, and my own at girlfriends house. If theirs a number...at least 8 times... No joke I know. :(
At the most two times. Sometimes more or less depending on what's going on :)
I have an iPhone 4s and I need to charged twice a day
I charge mine every night and for short periods throughout the day.
3 times. Because i'm quite a heavy gamers and browsing web a lot on ip4s.
2-3 times
Howdy! I just would like to give an enomrous thumbs up for the great information you could have here on this post. I can be coming again to your blog for more soon.
Usually 2x.
Thanks for srhniag very important matter. It?s so much helpful for me because I don?t know about this before. I?m also watch video so now I clear fully. Thanks again Jason
I charge mine one to two times a day.
Once every one or 2 days.
How many times do I charge my iPhone 4S a day? Put it this way. When I am in a car, I have charger and I plug my phone in. When I am at work and at my desk, I have a charger and have my phone plugged in. And when I get home at night, I am immediately looking for a charger to plug my phone in. Then I take it upstairs at night and plug it in and sync it to my computer.
Usually just once.
As many times as possible. I've bought additional charging cables, I have one in my office, my car, my bedroom, my living room, and my wife's car. :)
Normally twice a day.
2-4 times a day
I sit it in the dock/charger as often as I can to ensure max battery when I head out, seems to run down awfully quick so this app may help improve that ! :)
I charge my iPhone 4 about two times a day, a couple more when I'm on the road.
Just got my iPhone 4s and I usually charge once a day, twice at most. Would love to try this app to find out more about maximizing performance!
All day non stop
Twice... My battery probably needs to be changed...
Just once on my 4s.
i need to re-charge almost 3 times a day
once a day, some days a short charge when i get home in the evening as well to make it through to night time
One charge per day works for me.
Usually once a day, but more if I use my iphone for flight planning.
Iphone 4s with 5.0.1. At least three times a day. Battery performance is horrible. I could really use this!
I charge twice a day.
Im usually charging my phone at work and when I get home. If I'm gaming, 2-3 times a day. That's getting the phone down to about 30% each time
Less than once per day.
Why do i have to charge my iphone 2 to 3x a day? Can this app solve the problem with the battery?
Yep, this app does help. Just drain the battery(about once a week) all the way to about less than 15% and recharge it to fully charged status. Don't stop with 100%. It helps to boost battery life.
Hope it helps.
i charge my phone once a day, overnight.
Once when I leave in the morning, and once when I return from school. It isn't too inconvenient but I would love to get even just an extra hour boost from saving energy..
At least thrice
About two times per day.
Depends on the week, Typically once a day during work days but once on the weekend depending on my Infinity Blade addiction.
three times a day...I used my iphone 4S to read news and social apps..
Charge it overnight and whenever I have the chance during the day. Sometimes this 4S is good, other times the battery seems to drop quick
4s is good with a charge a day
Twice, really, though I have it on the charger at night, in the morning on my way to work, and on the way home (I have a car adapter that charges and hooks up to my audio, complete with a remote).
Once or twice depending on my usage
I am tethered to charge in every place I go. The home office, the car, the workplace.. even bought a chargeable battery pack for those days I am stuck out in the real world without a charge. It's safe to say I charge ALL DAY LONG or about 5 different places a day!
This app claims it "boosts battery performance" but the only thing it really does is allow you to "Double tap battery or open it to see the battery capacity for your favorite apps". This isn't boosting anything. I'm disappointed that this app is featured because I feel as though iMore is perpetuating the snake oil that they are selling. What the app CLAIMS and what it actually DOES are different things.
Bonus tip that you can send me $.99 for... you can quit apps, maximizing your free amount of RAM and making your iPhone run like new by quitting apps. Yes, that was tounge in cheek.
It does help to better battery life when you recharge to "Fully Charged" once a week. Make sure to drain the battery to below 15-10% before you recharge it to full.
Hope it helps.
2 to 3 times a day
Usually every night
LivingFit365 on November 19, 2008 I'm the ognriial owner of a 2003 Sorento. 75k miles so far. It's been off-road, city, highway. I drive 60 miles each day. I never once had to look under the hood. Drives perfectly, runs perfectly, still in great shape. The styling is still modern and people think it is new amazed when I tell them it's an '03! I highly recommend KIA! Much better than a GM, just as good or maybe better than Honda or Toyota, best value for the dollar fully loaded. I highly recommend checking out KIA.
Quite often two or three times a day!
I only charge once a day, way better than my old Android device.
Once every 2 days :)
Usually just once a day but if I'm playing Tiny Wings all day at least a few times :)
Once or twice a day. Depends if if I use it to actually talk. Ever since iOS 5, my ip4 battery has been really bad and I can't play games like I would like to. This app would come in handy.
it depends where i am. i can get 2 days on my iphone at home, but at work were i play with apps or watch movies it drops fast maybe 2 times i charge it at work. This app would be handy
At least twice a day! This app may help me out!
1 to 2 times a day depending on what Apps I use.
I charge mine about every 1.25 days
Never more than once.
This thread has been open for 8 days and no one has posted in it over the past 2 days. Who won?? :)
i am plugged in just about all day at work
I rellay hate cows.(I don't rellay, I am just hoping to whip up some controversy and fire up a heated discussion at my own blog. But don't tell anyone.)

Two Clackamas County firefighters are about to make what may be the most important rescue of their careers -- adopting an entire family from a world away.
To help out, visit GreshamBible.org
"We'll head over to Africa probably next month and bring the kids back. That's the goal," said Ted Willard, who drives the fire truck at one Clackamas County station while his wife Kelsey keeps medical equipment in top shape at another station.
Anyday now, they'll answer the call that will make them parents.
"We just looked at their pictures and knew it was right," remembered Kelsey.
The two brothers and two sisters have been living in a Ugandan orphanage since their parents died more than a year ago.
"Nobody was taking them because there were four and I looked at Ted and thought, I guess we could look into it," said Kelsey.
The couple, who met climbing into the back of an ambulance, had been trying to adopt for more than three years. The cost has been a challenge so friends at their church Gresham Bible have been fundraising.
They've raised $13,000 to cover airfare, but hope to raise up to $7,000 more. The Willard's will have to live in Uganda up to two months once the adoption is complete while they wait for visas for the children.
The kids, who range in age from 2 to 8, don't speak any English.
"It's going to be difficult. We'll have to do a lot of pointing and repeating things and maybe use some flashcards," remarked Ted.
The children have never seen a fire truck let alone an airplane but Kelsey and Ted have confidence in each other as they take on their most daring call yet,
"Ted is going to be the best role model yet," Kelsey said.
"Kelsey's pretty amazing too," Ted added. "It's a good thing she's great at multi-tasking."

The accountancy body, which has more than 15,000 members working in the public sector, has been raising concerns about the Government proposals since they were announced in August 2010 when ACCA said: 'There are a number of issues and outstanding questions that need to be addressed if we are to have a sensible, proportionate and cost effective auditing system for local public services in the future. This is critical for ensuring accountability and the stewardship of public funds.'
'Three years on, the concerns remain,' says John Davies, head of technical at ACCA, and have been reflected in the ad hoc committee's report Pre-legislative scrutiny of the draft Local Government Audit Bill.
John Davies said: 'There are so many issues to address as highlighted in the Committee's report that it is apparent that major surgery is needed to make the new audit framework fit for purpose, particularly in ensuring there are adequate arrangements for auditing health bodies and strengthening audit committees.
'We also had specific concerns about the quality of the impact assessment that accompanied the draft Bill, because it was wholly focused on cost, without making reference to the impact that downward fee pressures might have on audit quality. We are pleased to see the Committee is recommending the Government revisits this area. We support the Committee's recommendation that a central procurement capacity for appointing auditors to local bodies is retained in order to deliver the best possible deal for all local authorities on audit fees. Such a capacity will also help to prevent conflicts of interest arising where a firm is seeking a local authority contract whilst delivering substantial consultancy services,' he said.
'ACCA's long-held concerns about auditor independence, fragmentation and reduced accountability for public money have also been borne out by the Committee's findings, which point to 'serious gaps and concerns with audit proposals' which, if not addressed, will lead to a weakened audit framework for public money.
'Given that the changes to the audit framework come at a time of unprecedented cuts in public services, when there needs to be strong public audit to not only reassure people that value for money is being achieved but also that there is a deterrent against fraud and corruption, ACCA urges the government to take immediate action and implement the recommendations made in the Committee's report,' said John Davies.

finitecesar said 72 weeks agoi think i'm feeling the ghost busters one!
KLLorn419 said 72 weeks agoWow! This is a first for me. Not being sure of which to buy. Ghostbusters Pepboys or Dr Who Board game..
rjoy said 72 weeks agoI love Dr. Who. I just wish they would do something more creative and artistic wih it. I mean, really? The game of time? I think it is an ok idea but with bad application. Sigh. Still no t-shirt for me this week.
Orangulent said 72 weeks agoNo Winston?
Plus, their suits always looked khaki to me, not really gray.
Sniper94wolf said 72 weeks agoYes, a shirt with all the doctors. Been waiting for one like this.

I'll probably be here at midnight every day anyway, but I had some hope that the price increase that came with the "more options" improvement would also mean more variety.
Ah well, a girl can dream.
Digging the GBusters but despise Pep Boys. :/ No shirt for me today. *sad walking away music from The Incredible Hulk*
Shwoza said 72 weeks agoI love the Dr. Who shirts! Now I finally have enough to wear a different one every day of the month!

Sorry to be "that guy", and I love me the Ghostbusters (boo for not having Winston), but the GB shirt is a fail.

theshrink said 72 weeks agoDoes anyone else think it's really cruel that they finally gave female sizes an XXL and then make us pay an extra $2 for it? It's bad enough I can't fit into normal people shirts but now I have to pay extra for it?
primus420 said 72 weeks agoNo Zeddemore=no buy. I grew up with the cartoon and the sequel moreso than the original film and thus anything less than 4 Ghostbusters seems incomplete.
The Doctor Who print, however, is my first TF purchase in a long ass time. Possibly a year.

Microsoft Office once again reportedly coming to iOS, seriously
After countless rumors, Microsoft Office is once again said to be on its way to the iPhone and iPad (and Android). Office for iOS will reportedly consist of separate apps for Word, Excel, and Powerpoint, and will require a Microsoft account to use. The basic Office apps will allow users to view their documents, but an Office 365 subscription will be required for editing. But it's not all good news according to Tom Warren of The Verge:
Microsoft will allow iOS users to purchase an Office 365 subscription within the app, or let organizations distribute codes to enable Office Mobile editing for users. The apps will allow for basic editing, but we're told this won't go very far in attempting to replace regular full use of a desktop Office version.
Despite the lack of advanced functionality, the arrival of Office on iOS will be welcomed by many. Developers have tried to fill this particular gap since the App Store first opened, but there are many customers that have held out for the true Microsoft Office experience.
Whether Office for iOS proves to be enough for users, or they look to other apps, we will have to wait and see. Microsoft Office for iOS is said to be arriving in March 2013.

Ha Ha! first
What about Outlook with Exchange and calendar support?
if an office 365 subscription is required to edit documents, why would you buy an app? just view the documents through the remote office 365 interface.
The apps are free. The subscription doesn't unlock just mobile editing. It also unlocks the full desktop apps as well as loading the programs on computers you don't own. Think of Office 365 as Amazon Prime (especially now with the matching prices $8/month) for everything Office. Microsoft trying to through as much as possible under this subscription and that's good for consumers.
This capability exists today via Office Web Apps, via 365 or in an on-premise installation (typically linked to SharePoint 2010) if you are online; the native app may provide a way to address non-connected use. No Outlook this way either, however.
would be nice if you didn't have to pay for it. what good does viewing documents do? pointless
Wow...so, you get to use the FULL version on a PC after a ONE TIME purchase but have to have a subscription to use a broken down pieced together version on your mobile device? Sounds like garbage to me. I am really starting to be amazed at the things companies are trying to over one consumers for minute things that should be free. Thanks but not thanks Microsoft, guess I'll be sticking to Pages for my word docs.
Not until march, and only one feature at a time, not a package, and paid limited editing. Guess it will work for some, but most have been using pages, readdle, docs to go, or another app, and they all work well. Ms office will have to offer more for me to bite.
I recently downloaded the Pages app, Apple's version of MS Word. I love it, it's so simple to use. I can send, receive, open, create, and edit documents as Pages, Word or PDF format. Pages can store documents within the app, on-device. And it automatically backs up to iCloud. So What is the big deal about MS Office when Pages is already available? And as others have pointed out, Office can already be accessed via online access with an MS account. Perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't see the big deal here, especially if it's going to be watered down as described in the article.
I have Pages on my phone and tablet and really like it. iCloud syncing is very slick too. As long as there aren't many tables etc, it works OK for Word docs too.
The reason I will get set up with MS Office is that some documents created in Word do get messed up if you try to edit them in Pages. I recently got a Word doc from my lawyer that had a series of fairly complex tables. I needed to add financials to these tables and email it back. It ended up being a total mess. I emailed it anyway, but the lawyer's assistant commented on how much work it was to fix it up manually. I doubt her time was free for me.
Ouch! That would be $pendy! I guess I've been fortunate that I haven't had to deal with creating and editing charts and tables. But I can see where that could be a problem. Have you tried the online option for Office yet? If so, how did it work for you?
if this comes with "ink" then i will stop using my Dell XT and get an iPad :-)
Microsoft is pushing their cloud solution (Office 365) over on-device apps. Platform agnostic it is. We'll see how many folks and businesses buy into this subscription based scheme.
As a consumer, I hate subscription based software. I don't mind the periodic upgrade fee for new versions, but a subscription? That's just evil. And I was so looking forward to a real MS Office app for my iPad. Guess I'll have to stay with my current solution(s): Documents To Go and QuickOffice (depending on what I need).

Hi Guys!
Just wanting to try and put together a visit to some of the high end audio stores in the Chicago area, as there is nothing around me except a Best Buy. I would like to meet up with fellow Polkies here in Indiana and drive up as a group to Chicago for a day of good food and great high end audio shopping. Important on the list for me would be a coupe great places to buy used gear as well. It might also be a great way to get with some of the Illinois/Chicago/ Southeast Wisconsin Polkies as well. The plan for me would be to shoot for the second week of October, as that will give some time to save up some money to make a purchase or two. Let me know what you guys think!
