Caroline Lewis is a Portland, Oregon, urban gardener whose company, Verdura Culinary Gardens, is dedicated to helping gardeners be more successful at raising their own organic vegetables. A licensed landscape contractor, Verdura installs raised bed gardens including trellises and drip irrigation systems, creates custom year-round planting plans, and offers vegetable garden coaching and maintenance programs. Caroline welcomes your comments and can be reached at caroline [at] verduragardens.com.
Although it may still seem quite early, this is the time of year when we all need to get our gardens rolling: planning the plantings, building garden frames, ordering and starting seeds, cleaning up from winter, and amending soil.
Otherwise, we run the risk of missing out on the all-important early-spring season: peas, lettuce, spinach, arugula, onions and more. (And if you have never tasted home-grown peas, you'll just have to trust me that this is well worth doing).
Remember that the key to growing vegetables year-round is planning — and to understanding that planting is not just something that takes place when the tomatoes go in the ground in May. Here are some tips on what to do this month.
Successful gardens don't get planted all at once. For example, let's assume a summer garden is filled with tomatoes, onions, basil, Swiss chard, and carrots. They're all growing at the same time, but the onions were likely planted in March, and the tomatoes and basil in May and June, respectively. These may have been preceded with peas or spinach in the same areas. The chard and carrots, on the other hand, may have been succession-planted any time from April through August.
So it takes some big-picture thinking to plan a garden. The goal is to plant varietals that are well acclimated to your climate, at the right time, and spaced correctly, all with the goal of maximizing their health and productivity. Succession planting is a huge help in spreading out the harvest so you have a nice amount of any given vegetable — not too little and not too much — at any given time.
My favorite example of this is carrots. A lot of people just sprinkle an entire packet of carrot seeds on the ground in April with the intention of thinning them later. But a packet of carrots seeds (usually 1 gram) contains around 700 seeds! Even with aggressive thinning, that's going to be way more carrots than one family can consume at one time. Why not plant a single square foot or two in early spring (carrots are perfectly spaced at 16 per square foot, or 3 inches apart) and then repeat every three or four weeks? And by making shallow indentations and just dropping a couple of seeds in each one, you'll have enough carrot seeds in one packet for several years (which is great, because the usual seed life of carrots is exactly that).
Why raised beds? This is the only way we garden anymore, and with good reason. We don't like back-breaking tilling and digging, and we definitely don't like the ongoing battle with weeds and slugs. Well-made raised beds are an investment initially, but once they're in, they'll give you years of relatively carefree gardening. In addition to our own 10 raised beds, we have built hundreds for clients in the Portland area. We don't own a tiller and rarely use more than a trowel, a spading fork, and a spoon as gardening tools.
Additionally, raised-bed gardens heat up more quickly in the spring, giving us a jumpstart on warm-season crops like cucumbers, squash, and tomatoes. If filled with a good soil blend, raised beds drain well and provide a perfect growing medium for your plants. We do not miss trying to grow in heavy clay soils!
Finally, raised beds planted with square-foot gardening methodology are incredibly productive. Check out this real-life example of the list of veggies we'll be growing this year in just one of our client's 4-foot-by-8-foot garden beds:
Bush beans (2 varieties)
Bush peas (2 varieties)
Carrots (3 varieties)
Lettuce (5 varieties)
Onions (3 varieties)
Peppers (3 varieties)
Radishes (4 varieties)
Tomatoes (3 varieties)
Vining peas
Note: Please do not build your new raised beds out of pressure-treated lumber, which can leach potentially dangerous chemicals. Cedar, Douglas fir, redwood, or juniper are all great choices.
As soon as you know what you're planning to grow, get in your seed orders! With the explosive growth of home vegetable gardening over the past several years, seed companies tend to sell out quickly, particularly of the heirloom and organic varieties. Here is a listing of seed-company catalogs.
Locally, you can buy seeds as well as plant starts at a variety of locations, including nurseries, natural-food stores, and farmers' markets. In the Portland area, our very favorite resources are Gales Meadow Farm at the Hillsdale Farmers Market for organic, heirloom plant starts and Naomi's Organic Farm Supply for starts, seeds, soil amendments, chicks and ducklings, and much more. These are wonderful local businesses with superior products and freely shared knowledge — do consider shopping with them before you head to a big-box store!
If you already have a garden, I'm sure you did a wonderful job last fall removing those old tomato vines and cages and other assorted debris. Because you did, the slugs had no place to hide all winter in your garden beds. Even so, March is the perfect month to clean up those beds and get them ready for spring planting.
To do so, remove all plant debris, leaving only over-wintering onions, garlic, kale, and anything else you want to keep. If your beds have been strung to mark off the square feet, remove the string. If possible without damaging them, gently move drip lines out of the way. Now you're ready to add spring amendments.
One disadvantage of raised beds is that because they drain so well, nutrients tend to leach out over time. The beds should be amended in spring and, as needed, later in the season. We usually add lots of good compost and worm castings as well as some feather meal or other nitrogen-rich organic fertilizer and bone meal. We also like Naomi's Mineral Mix, a balanced blend of trace nutrients.
Add whatever amendments you're using, following package directions. (Note that there's virtually no such thing as adding too much compost, so add enough to get your soil level where you want it.) Mix everything up, being careful to avoid the roots of established plants (we usually just sprinkle the mixture over these as a top-dressing). Then reposition your drip lines and restring the beds.
This is also a great time to repair trellis netting, if needed. Now you're ready to plant!
We try to plant all of our onions and peas before the end of March. Onions require as long a season as possible to fully mature. Because peas tolerate very chilly conditions, we can get them in and out in time to plant other warm-season crops later on. Other early-spring veggies to plant include spinach, arugula, any cold-tolerant salad greens, radishes, kale, collards, broccoli, beets, carrots, and turnips. Getting these into the ground soon — and then continuing to plant throughout the growing season — will help ensure you have your most productive garden yet.
My garden needs some serious work. Question: Grass is starting to poke through in some of my raised beds. On one of the shorter ones, I removed the soil in the fall and lined the bottom with cardboard to stop the grass from popping through. But I have another bed that's at least 2 feet deep and I can't fathom removing all of the soil. Do you have any tips for stopping grass? It is so invasive!
Thanks for sharing a very informative post! I am into organic farming and your post definitely help me a lot.
Hi Laura--
The best way to prevent this issue is to avoid having grass grow up against the sides of your raised beds. When we install raised bed frames, we remove all sod to a foot or so away from the edges of the beds, then put down landscape fabric and a pathway material, such as crushed gravel or bark mulch. If you were to do this now, you could probably dig out some of those obnoxious roots that have worked their way into your frames. It is extremely difficult to remove grass once it's grown up into your beds, as you've learned. The cardboard trick won't really help long term because cardboard will eventually break down, plus of course the grass will just work its way in around the edges of the cardboard if you allow the grass to grow right up against the edge of the frames.
Hope that helps, and happy gardening!
Thanks for the info, Caroline! Maybe if I put down landscape fabric around the walls of the bed, I can at least stop further invasion of grass. I have hazelnut shells on the pathway now but the grass grows right through them. There may be nothing I can do for the grass that's already gotten in but at least I can stop more, right?

(NBC) -- Friday, Hostess Brands announced it would shut down the company after a strike crippled its operations.
Though the fate of its products - from Ho Hos to Ding-Dongs to Wonder Bread - is uncertain, you can calm your Twinkie panic with this home-spun recipe. Cookbook author Todd Wilbur has been cloning some of America's favorite name-brand foods for more than 20 years and here, he recreates the iconic yellow cakes.
Recipe: Twinkies Todd Wilbur
Non-stick spray 4 egg whites One 16-ounce box golden pound cake mix 2/3 cup water
2 teaspoons very hot water 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 cups marshmallow creme (one 7-ounce jar) 1/2 cup shortening 1/3 cup powdered sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
You will need a spice bottle, approximately the size of a Twinkie, ten 12 x 14 -inch pieces of aluminum foil, a cake decorator or pastry bag, and a chopstick.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Fold each piece of aluminum foil in half twice. Wrap the folded foil around the spice bottle to create a mold. Leave the top of the mold open for pouring in the batter. Make 10 of these molds and arrange them on a cookie sheet or in a shallow pan. Grease the inside of each mold with a light coating of non-stick spray.
Disregard the directions on the box of cake mix. Instead, beat the egg whites until stiff. In a separate bowl combine cake mix with water and beat until thoroughly blended (about 2 minutes). Fold egg whites into the cake batter and slowly combine until completely mixed.
Pour the batter into the molds, filling each one about 3/4 of an inch. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean.
For the filling, combine salt with the hot water in a small bowl and stir until salt is dissolved. Let this mixture cool.
Combine the marshmallow creme, shortening, powdered sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl and mix well with an electric mixer on high speed until fluffy.
Add the salt solution to the filling mixture and combine.
When the cakes are done and cooled, use a skewer or chopstick to make three holes in the bottom of each one. Move the stick around inside of each cake to create space for the filling.
Using a cake decorator or pastry bag, inject each cake with filling through all three holes.

Rusty Littleton lose to second-placed visitors
6:00pm Monday 24th February 2014 in Sport
LITTLETON played their first game for eight weeks and it showed in a lacklustre display against second-placed Nuneaton Griff, losing 2-1.
The St Mary's Hospice Midland Combination Premier Division fixture was brought forward and Littleton were without several players.
On a windy afternoon with a sticky surface, the first 25 minutes were even but a superb goal from Nuneaton's number nine gave them the lead.
The ball was laid back to him on the edge of the box and he hit a powerful drive in off the post.
Two minutes later, the same player was sent off but the visitors coped easily with Littleton's attack for the rest of the half.
In the second period, Nuneaton made it 2-0 after a back-pass across the field was intercepted followed by a clinical first-time shot from the edge of the box into the top corner.
For 20 minutes, Littleton were unable to make any headway.
With 15 minutes left, they woke up and started to exert pressure.
Matt Mitchell's cross was headed down by Kevin Ingram to Stuart Hall, who shot over.
Hall scored with four minutes to go, converting from close range after Adam Guest hit the bar, but it was too little too late.
Littleton host Feckenham on Saturday in the Smedley Crooke Memorial Trophy (3pm) before visiting Studley in the league next Tuesday (7.45pm).

Brown & Blushin': Tarte matte waterproof bronzer
Time for another edition of Brown and Blushin'. This time we're going to be showcasing a bronzer from Tarte. Tarte is one of my favorite green beauty brands. They are consistently giving us products free of mineral oil and petrolatum, parabens, phthalates, synthetic dyes/fragrances.
Summer isn't quite over yet in Florida (not that it ever really goes away) so I am absolutely loving the idea of waterproof bronzer.
That means it can hold up during work-outs and quick laps in the pool. Hollers!
Trust me when I say I am not one of those females that work-out with a full face of make-up. In fact, I am the opposite of attractive when I'm working out. And I could care-less. But 9 times out of 10, when I do get my fitness on, it is usually after work. I love how I can keep my glow throughout a sweaty work-out. And since it's oil and talc free, I don't have to worry about my acne prone skin flaring up on me. Which it loves to do every other day. Ugh.
And for my ladies who are skeptical and wondering it really IS waterproof…
Yes ma'am, it is! And it goes on silky smooth with just one swipe on the cheekies.
While the shade I have featured here is Park Avenue Princess, I think I'm going to retire my MAC Sweet As Cocoa for the Hotel Heiress shade.
I haven't seen it in person yet but I am hoping they are dupes. What do y'all think? You can grab this bronzer for $29 at Sephora. I'll be back to let you know how Hotel Heiress worked for me!
Ciao mamas!
ETA: I ended up buying Hotel Heiress. Absolutely love!

UI2015 said...
I'm going to preface this by saying its fairly long, and 100% my opinion. I'm really solid in my thoughts that Iowa's magic number is 4 wins to get in. They must win their way in, everything else will take care of itself. I was bored earlier and decided to look forward and talk about Iowa's very slim chance at the NCAA tournament, as well as who to root for in the Big Ten. I'd also like to add that Iowa's tournament resume is on par with the rest of the bubble teams. I think the bubble is fairly weak this year.
Iowa's predicted Big Ten finish: 7th place 9-9 conference record (20-11). I believe they will knock off Illinois at home this Tuesday and then get revenge on Nebraska March 9th to close out the regular season.
This would have Minnesota in 6th alone with a 10-8 record as they should be able to get wins at Nebraska and at Purdue. Though Minnesota has struggled off and on on the road, when looking at their losses, they haven't been bad with the exception of Northwestern. I think winning these two games is a fair expectation even though both teams can be pesky. Locked into the tournament by beating Indiana earlier this week.
Illinois likely loses at Ohio State (yes, I know they won big the first time, I don't see it happening again). This has them finishing the year with 2 losses, and taking 8th place in the Big Ten with a 8-10 record and 21-11 overall. I still see them as a lock to the tournament because of the number of good wins they have, plus a solid RPI.
Predicted Big Ten Final Standings 1) Indiana 26-5 (14-4) 2) Michigan St 24-7 (13-5) note: tie break over Wisc & Mich 3) Wisconsin 22-9 (13-5) note: tie break over Mich 4) Michigan 26-5 (13-5) 5) Ohio State 22-8 (12-6) 6) Minnesota 22-9 (10-8) 7) Iowa 20-11 (9-9) 8) Illinois 21-11 (8-10) 9) Purdue 13-18 (6-12) 10) Northwestern 14-17 (5-13) note: I think the game vs PSU is a toss-up now, I'll give NW the edge. 11) Nebraska 13-18 (4-14) note: if PSU beats NW, Nebraska moves up to 10th (head to head tie break) 12) Penn State 9-21 (1-15) note: they have last locked up already
Now let's pretend all this has happened, which is very likely. I have Michigan winning against MSU and IU at home plus at Purdue. Michigan St finishing with wins over Wisconsin and NW at home. Wisconsin finishing with wins vs Purdue and at PSU. I'm not going out on any outrageous limbs here, these are pretty safe bets. Iowa will have 2 out of the magic 4 wins needed to make the tournament. Good thing there are two games left for the Hawks to play in the Big Ten Tournament. The schedule for the tournament, I also added my predicted finish for teams, looks like this (linked for viewing pleasure):
Thursday Game 1: Illinois (8) vs. Purdue (9), 11 a.m., BTN Game 2: Ohio State (5) vs. Penn State (12), 1:30 p.m.*, BTN Game 3: Iowa. (7) vs. Northwestern (10), 5:30 p.m., ESPN2 Game 4: Minnesota (6) vs. Nebraska (11), 8 p.m.*, ESPN2 -I think all the low seeds hold on. If Nebraska ends up as the 10 seed, Iowa will still have a great chance to advance.
Friday, March 15, 2013 Game 5: Indiana (1) vs. Illinois (8), 11 a.m., ESPN Game 6: Michigan (4) vs. Ohio State (5), 1:30 p.m.*, ESPN Game 7: Mich State (2) vs. Iowa (7), 5:30 p.m., BTN Game 8: Wisconsin (3) vs. Minnesota (6), 8 p.m.*, BTN -Iowa has two very winnable games in the BTT. The Penn State upset of Michigan was a blessing to Iowa fans, and I just now noticed that. It will allow Iowa to avoid playing either IU or Michigan in the BTT (hopefully). Iowa's most favorable matchups are MSU and Wisconsin in this round. If Iowa gets the upset here against MSU (or possibly Wisc) they should be in the tournament.
Saturday, March 16, 2013 Game 9: Game 5 Winner vs. Game 6 Winner, 12:40 p.m., CBS Sports Game 10: Game 7 Winner vs. Game 8 Winner, 3 p.m.*, CBS Sports
Sunday, March 17, 2013 Championship Game, 2:30 p.m., CBS Sports
Given everything I have laid out here, Iowa's RPI will likely be upper 70s (78ish) by the time the BTT starts. Illinois is 32 and Nebraska is 103. I could see a 13 point jump out of these two wins, though I'm not an RPI genus so this is a rough estimate. The win against Northwestern won't do much as they are 140th. A match-up with MSU while tough, is what Iowa wants. They should have won the only meeting this year and I doubt the Hawks forget how they let that game get away from them (same can be said for the blunder at Wisconsin). Michigan State has an RPI of 7, Wisconsin's is 24. A win over 7 would give Iowa a nice bump of probably 12-15 spots or so. That leaves Iowa in the mid to low 60s in RPI. They'd have 3 top 25 wins, 4 good wins, and only 2 bad losses. ESPN's last 4 in are Temple, Villanova, Ole Miss, and Boise State. Iowa would have a better resume than Temple, BSU, and Ole MIss. There is no way they would be left out IF this happens. Every game is a must win right now. Any loss before the semifinals of the Big Ten Tournament is an automatic NIT bid.
TL;DR - just win, baby! Thoughts?
Edit: Ole Miss lost tonight to Miss St, likely ending their chances.

Great post here, and thanks for the breakdown.
Personally, I think Iowa would have a pretty good shot of getting in by finishing 9-9 and then making the finals of the B1G tourney. But IMO, it'd still be iffy if Iowa loses in the semifinals. There are bound to be multiple regular season conference champs in mid-major conferences that lose in the conference tourney, but still have a good enough resume to make it in as an at-large. Every time that happens, assuming they lose to a team that wouldn't have made it in as an at-large, that takes away a spot for a bubble team. It'd definitely be possible for Iowa to make it in under this scenario, but I still think it's less than 50% due to the soft nonconference schedule.

If they needed one more game, it'd likely be against Wisconsin or Minnesota, and that's still not a bad match up for Iowa. They can control their destiny this year, it's just a matter of if they actually will or not.

You are a student there, yes? If so, you must be either a communications major looking at sports reporting or an accounting major with a big interest in sports. (I totally dismiss and reject the medication hypothesis for your VOTH essay.)
Excellent post! Ruffle up the feathers in the Hawks Nest next game, would you please?

Once you get your College of Pharmacy degree, it will be tough to go back for a major in sports writing. Not sure of the requirements for a VOTH Honorary Doctorate Degree, but I am guessing perhaps 10,000 posts for a Masters, and 20-25,000 posts for the Doctorate. Perhaps Dean Todd Wormer could give you some academic counseling that may help.

a nice and diligent original post. i agree with each of your picks from here on. i do add, though, that the chances of a string of likely events all turning out as predicted is not as likely as intuition suggests. the chances of a 70% freethrow shooter making even two in a row is only 49%. still, no matter the specifics. if the hawks win their next two and find thenselves in the b10 tnmnt semi's, they have a chance.
now, i think they'll need to win the tnmnt to qualify, they might edge in with a second place finish. the selection committee, i think, tries to judge teams not conferences. they say this annually. usually when a conference gets 6, 7 selectees it is because the rpi rankings and records force that outcome, not because the committee predetermined that the b10 would get, say, 8 slots because of its strength. ui might be able to get its rpi high enuf by winning the semi-final game--but i kinda doubt it. not sure that second would do it.
honestly, i do think that assuming a certain number of spots for the b10 is inconsistent with the process and might lead to a false prediction.

When I was in High School I had the Eclipso poster drawn by Bart Sears and I loved that title.
I loved the whole take on the character and I loved the Winston Churchill quote at the end of the summer crossover "Eclipso : The Darkness Within"....
"This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."
Doesn't that take me back!

Colorado Ski Snowboard Hall of Fame Gala – 2008 — Knox Williams
Annual Ski Snowboard Hall of Fame induction gala Gala is a yearly highlight of ski culture here in Colorado. The roster of HOF inductees is definitely a cross section of Colorado ski industry movers and shakers, some well known and some you've never heard of. Yet I'm always wanting to see more depth, e.g., more folks from groups other than racing or ski area operations. Thus, this year's induction of avalanche expert Knox Williams made the event extra special.
Knox isn't mainstream famous like Hall of Fame members such as ski racer Billy Kid. He's not a corporate guru such as Hall member George Gillett. Instead, he felt an early calling to the study of snow avalanches and the sharing of that knowledge, and stuck with his destiny through more than 30 years as he founded and headed up the Colorado Avalanche Information Center. Result of Knox's efforts, though behind the public scene in many ways, has had a large and direct impact on the ski industry as well as backcountry skiers. Not only has CAIC provided avalanche forecasts for years, but equally important, they've run a prolific education program that I'm certain has saved dozens of lives — including those of ski industry workers as well as backcountry skiers.
Knox's acceptance speech didn't get too deep in details. He did make it obvious his run in the avalanche business could not have happened without the support of his team, as well as his wife of nearly three decades. But an impromptu after-party with Knox and CAIC staff provided pilsner enabled blog fodder.
For example, apparently Knox gave a speech some time ago that included a humorous, self depreciating list of "things your avalanche forecaster will not tell you."
I like the concept, since many of us backcountry skiers make the public avalanche forecast a far too large part of our hazard assessment, to the point of not making our own "micro" forecast once we reach the trailhead or a good snow study spot on our route.
Thus, to keep from making a god out of the next avalanche forecast you hear, remember these things about the forecaster: He (or she) would probably rather gargle razor blades than teach another snowpit; weasel words are his friend (e.g., pockets, possible, chance of), his personal life might be a mess, his computer possibly crashed that morning, and he could go postal. That'll help you keep things in perspective.
Congratulations Knox, and congratulations to the other inductees and their families as well!
Hall of Fame induction gala is held at Marriott City Center in downtown Denver, a deluxe venue that provides a virtually flawless production. Festivities begin with a reception centered on poster style displays of the inductee's lives. Family and friends gather around the posters, frequently multi-generational groups that speak in a touching way to how important skiing is to the fabric of our western mountain states. The vibe is super positive — like being three turns into a pitch of knee deep powder.
The HOF Gala is undersold — every first time attendee I speak with after the event says something like "wow, that was WAY more than I thought it would be." So, while attending this event is a bit pricey because it's a fundraiser, I want to make a plea that more of you WildSnow readers from Colorado try to attend. If you have a place in your heart for skiing, that place will be warmed by this happening. Besides, perhaps we'll get a few more backcountry folks nominated and eventually inducted, so you'll have to be there for that.

Yeah lou, that was a lot of fun. And Knox really deserves the award of being inducted into the HOF.
That photo is a really rare one. That is about a formally dressed up as you'll ever see a bunch of avalanche guys…
It was a lot of fun to talk with you Lou.
Got something to say? Please do so.

"I really loved this card. The "glitter" one makes for a really pretty effect, and it's feminine without going over the top, depending on the color pallet of the picture you use. We got a lot of compliments on this card. Highly recommend."
"Depending on the picture you choose, you might have to try different text colors to make sure they show up. Also the space to write your address and party info is kind of limited. Other than that, this card is beautiful, just as advertised. It's girly but not overtly so. The quality is fantastic, nice thick cardstock, great resolution. Everyone loved it!"
"I really love how we were able to include a picture from every month of our daughter's life. I think the invitation becomes a keepsake for the grandparents! I have gotten lots of compliments!"
"I really loved the formar of this card. I put one picture when my baby was a new born, another at 6, and at 11. It turned out great. People loved it. It was easy to edit the card. Delibery was fast. I ordered my cards a thursday night, and they delivered saturday afternoon. I chose standard shipping :) Overall everything was great, the service and the quality of the product."
"The turn around on this beautiful card was unbelievably quick, even with my grammatical issue their proof readers caught (thanks for that especially!). Beautiful quality. Everyone loves them. Thank you!"

I know this isn't an inspiring photo, but it's a photo of me. I've told many people the story of my life and it's inspired them to just reach out to others. (Please submit this)
When my mother was 38, she was diagnosed with Pre-Cancer Uterus cells 3 months before she was pregnant with me. She had them removed though. 3 Months later, she was then pregnant with me. My parents were never married so that has played a big role in my life. My dad left my mom because she was pregnant, and my mom grew depressed because she didn't know how to take care of a child as a single mother, nor how to raise a girl (She had two sons before but they were from two separate fathers). On her 5th week of being pregnant, she was going to get me aborted. My grandma had to talk her out of the abortion for days and even weeks before my mom gave in. My dad never held me until I was 1 year old. He was really never around in my childhood, and still isn't around now. My mom got pregnant again with my younger sister when I was 22 months and my dad, surprisingly stayed, but never really took care of me. They'd go on date or whatever, or just stay at home and I'd be stuck at my grandmas. It was still the same after my sister was born, my dad didn't really do much with me like he did my sister. Both of my parents would spoil my sister, but not me. I didn't really get as much as affection, and because of that, I'm lacking affection.
Anyway, when I was 5, they drew up custody papers because my mom knew something my dad didn't know she knew; he was seeing his ex wife behind her back. They've renewed them and changed them over the past 10 years.
Well, 2 years ago, it was official they were no longer together. They split up because me, my sister, and my mom caught him in bed with his ex wife. (I won't go into detail of what happened) But the thing is, my mom and my sister were very close in this time, and I was drifting and pushing everyone away. I'd act perfectly fine but on the inside I was dying. I became depressed and suicidal (I was only 12, about to turn 13). At night, I'd cry and take a can tab and hack at my arms, and cover them up with a long sleeve shirt. I took a pair of scissors and jammed them deep into my leg, leaving this ugly scar that's still there today. My dad would harass us, leave phone calls threatening to subpoena my teachers, his parents, my cousins, whoever he could to get custody of me and my sister. We didn't want to see him because of the pain he caused and how he wasn't sorry for it. He'd show up at my mom's house, and bitch at us. I started my 7th grade school year pretty rough because I was still depressed. I went so many months with depression, that it started to affect my health.
It got to the point that it was keeping me from going to school. I'd have unexplained panic attacks sitting in class or wherever I went. I wouldn't be able to breathe or anything. We went to the doctor, and we were referred to a cardiologist. I went to this cardiologist and he diagnosed me with Vasovagal Syncope (Click here for definition). The doctor checked my heart rate and told me that my second beat was splitting in half, so instead of going boom boom it was going boom ba-boom and it's dangerous. I was ordered about 13 EKG's within 4 months. We tried to get a follow up check up to put me on home bound so I could do my school work at home. He never responded, so we ended up putting me on homeschool. That relieved most of the stress. We scheduled an appointment with a different cardiologist from a different hospital. He said that I was misdiagnosed and it was probably a stress induced hormonal problem that I'll out grow. So we left it at that.
Although, the tension between my parents never really eased. We went to court that Spring for visitation but we were assumed to be there for custody. I cried on the witness stand because of all the pressure that was being put on me (I was 13 and my dad's lawyer was really asking questions that were so irrelevant to the case). I ran out of the room when my session was up, crying my eyes out, and just hugged my grandma (mom's side) and cried for hours. My sister went in, answered her questions easily, no problem. In the mean time my dad filed for temporary custody and the judge denied it.
After the Summer of 2011 was over, we went to the cardiologist that taught the 1st one I visited in September. He said that I was misdiagnosed and that I have POTS Syndrome (Click here for definition) and it'll go away because it's hormonal. (Luckily within the past few months since I've outgrown it!)
At the time, I was missing a lot of school. My health was pretty bad. I'd catch whatever bug, virus, illness, etc. that would come along. I'd miss 2-3/5 days a week and get caught behind. So much, that we had to go to a doctor. (Things between my parents died down). I had my blood work drawn twice and both White Blood Cell Counts came back high, so I was being sent to a Pediatric Hematologist Oncologist (Children's Blood Cancer Doctor). They tested me for Leukemia and it came back negative. We discussed my symptoms with my doctor, such as insomnia, lack of appetite, how I'd catch every sickness, etc.
But earlier that November, I caught Step Throat, and Pleurisy the week after (Click here for Strep, Click here for Pleurisy). The doctor said that my immune system was extremely low, and that it's been gradually declining since I got my shots in Kindergarten (They help boost a strong immune system). We came back the next two months after blood work was drawn and he said that I need pneumococcal shots. I got one the 3rd month visiting the doctor, and the 4th month.
As my symptoms were getting worse and worse by the month, it started to become hard to diagnose it. On the 4th month, I reported having symptoms such as lack of appetite, headaches, dizziness, unsteadiness, insomnia, dehydration, etc. I visited an Endocrinologist because I was having unexplained spikes and drops in blood sugar (Hormonal Doctor). She gave me a full hormonal exam and said that I was in perfect shape, and she couldn't do anything in her field to help me.
We went to the Neurologist (Brain Doctor) earlier this month (May). I've mentioned that I've had this lump swollen on the right side of the next, along with my symptoms and the new one: Hair Loss and delusional visions. He felt the lump and said it wasn't the lymph node or the tissue. I was ordered and MRI With & Without Contrast (With & Without Dye IV) on the Head, Neck & Brain. They were checking for cancer/tumor/inflammatory disease. The results came back and all of that was ruled out.
It's the SCM muscle that's swollen (Its a muscle that stays on both sides of the neck). They can be caused by injury or over use. The thing is, the lump in my neck has been slowly growing and moving over the past 2-3 months. From the size of two quarters, to the size of four today. It doesn't hurt or anything, its painless so it couldn't be overused or injured.
I've had symptoms of Lymphoma for the past few months. Although, since it was MRI on the Brain, Neck and Head, doesn't out rule cancer at all.
I got the test results back from my latest blood work. The pneumococcal boosted my levels… except for the antibody titers that help fight of germs, diseases, cancer, etc. My body isn't responding correctly at all. Which is NOT good.
I've been a human test dummy for emotions and depression for two years, no love and affection for fourteen years, biopsies and blood work for 7 months, and I'm still alive.
I didn't go into much detail because it would take too long to read and it's more depressing. I still have not been diagnosed and that's all I want.
Cancer runs in the family, and since I have symptoms of Lymphoma, the chances are probably 85/100. I'm not scared or worried but I'm determined to get through this. I'm only 14 Years old and in the 8th grade, and I probably won't be able to go to high school next year because of my health.
But it does get better. So if you think you have it bad because your parents won't buy you a new or car or a phone, or you have a stomach bug and you can't go to school for cheerleading try outs, think again.I can't participate in sports, activities, etc. Plus I have no friends at all because I'm a socially awkward loser that discovered RP and tumblr. But I can tell you one thing: Be thankful for what life you have if you have great health, and parents that are even married. I still get no affection, but I'm very blessed to have a boyfriend that understands me so well.
It doesn't really sound inspirational, but I can tell you for sure, It's been a long tough road for me to make it through my own, but I survived. I've learned to not take advantage of people whose parents are split because they suffer emotional problems. People with health problems can't do as much as any normal person can, they're restricted. So don't judge or limit them from things.

Blogger finds security hole in Facebook mobile apps
Thursday - 4/12/2012, 6:56pm EDT
According to a report on CIO.com, the blogger noticed the problem while poking around the application directory to a game he had downloaded on his iPhone. He found that Facebook's mobile app doesn't encrypt login credentials, making it vulnerable to rogue apps and poisoned USB connections.
Facebook told the blogger it was fixing the problem on its end, but he noted that login credentials may still be vulnerable on the gaming apps' end.

What will we do with all this "white space"?
There's a vote coming up this week in Washington that will have a big impact on how you use the internet, what's available to you, how much faster you'll be able to get things online. On Thursday, the FCC is expected to open up unused parts of the broadcast spectrum, a lot of people call it "white space". This is space that was positioned to be something of a buffer between television stations but such padding is proving less essential since the conversion to digital TV.
On today's show, we talk to Glenn Fleishman from Wi-Fi Networking News and The Economist about how the spectrum works and what kind of new space we're talking about. We also check in with Tim Wu from Columbia Law School about the companies that will look to use the space and what it all might mean for you and me as internet consumers.

Alabama Senators Delay Work on Education Budget
Posted: 8:33 AM Apr 11, 2012
Reporter: The Associated Press
An Alabama Senate committee has delayed
work on Alabama's next education budget for one week.
The Senate Finance and Taxation-Education Committee was scheduled to take up the education budget Wednesday, but the committee chairman, Republican Sen. Trip Pittman of Daphne, got it
postponed it for one week because he said he's still talking with senators about their priorities.
That means the first committee vote on the education budget won't come until the legislative session is two-thirds complete.
The Senate is handling the initial work on the education budget and the House was doing the same with the General Fund budget for
non-education agencies.
The House is farther along than the Senate.
It approved the General Fund budget Tuesday night, and the budget now goes to a Senate committee.

Dozens of parents with students in Huntsville City Schools are still trying to take advantage of an Accountability Act stipulation that would allow them to transfer their children out of failing schools.
John Tribble believes he did everything right. He applied in February to transfer his son from Butler High School to Huntsville High School. Now with classes in their first week, "they haven't written a letter or given anything to me. All I'm getting is a runaround," said Tribble.
The reason for the transfer is simple, according to Tribble: "I don't want him to go to a failing school." However, things aren't as simple when you look at the numbers.
More than 500 parents applied for transfers this year. Only 295 were approved based on space available, and of those, eight fell under the Accountability Act for approval. Here's why: "We are still under a federal desegregation order, and federal law trumps state law," said School Spokesperson Keith Ward.
The order states that students in the minority cannot transfer to a school where they would be in the majority. That doesn't help Tribble's case. "The problem is the education I want my child to get and receive," said Tribble.
School leaders believe the real problem is state lawmakers who passed a law that was in essence an empty promise to parents. In the meantime, the district said they have pumped more resources into the nine Huntsville schools that were deemed "failing" under the Accountability Act. "We've got everything in place that can help their child, and we would like to see them take advantage of that," said Ward.
"I have to move just to get him out of the school," said Tribble. "This is not what I want to do, but I guess it's what I have to do."
By Friday, the school transfer process will be over for Huntsville City Schools.

You may have seen news about Microsoft Advertising's multi-screen advertising capabilities over the past year. Do Discovery Channel's "Deadliest Catch," ABC's "Flash Forward," History Channel's "America: The Story of US," or NBC's fall line-up ring a bell?
Given the recent success of these campaigns we wanted to dig deeper to understand multi-screen usage and consumers' attitudes and expectations for multi-screen experiences. The study covered activities across computers, smart phones, TVs and game consoles, and the results were eye-opening:
· 69 percent of multi-screen consumers believe that being able to access similar content (media and advertising) across different screens makes the content more useful and their media experience more relevant and informative.
· 80 percent of consumers surveyed expect improvement in the delivery of content and advertising across devices – and they report that these improvements will increase their engagement.
The way consumers interact with brands, products and services is dramatically impacted by digital media. Consumers are using their PCs, mobile phones, TVs and XBOX Live (sometimes at the same time!) to perform the same functions, whether to research products, for social networking, to play games, or make purchases. Microsoft is uniquely positioned to offer marketers advertising solutions across all of these screens while delivering access to a large and growing audience of over 161 million unique visitors in the US, (comScore, June 2010), with high levels of engagement and impact.
As multi-screen activity becomes more mainstream, marketers have the unique opportunity now to work with their media partners to figure out how to reach their target audience in the right place at the right time, to improve relevance and results. For more on this study, download our Multi-Screen Consumer White Paper.
Alison Engel, senior marketing director, for Microsoft Advertising, will unveil more from the white paper at today's OMMA Metrics event in San Francisco on July 22, 2010.
"Microsoft's leadership in researching and understanding consumers across multiple digital screens and mobile channels is not only impressive and comprehensive; it's timely for helping to inform agencies, companies, vendors, practitioners. We're thrilled they can join us on stage at OMMA Metrics this week to unveil new findings from their recent study about the impact of advertising across multiple screens and what it means for the future of advertising." –Judah Phillips, senior director, Global Site Analytics, Monster Worldwide, Inc. and chair for the OMMA Metrics Conference
For those of you unable to make the trip to San Francisco, you can register now for a webinar overview of the research hosted by ANA on August 4, 2010 (requires membership).

Renan Barao defends his interim UFC bantamweight title against Michael McDonald in the main event of UFC on Fuel TV 7 on Saturday and is expecting a great fight.
Barao defeated Urijah Faber at UFC 149 on July 12, 2012, to capture the interim title. He was expecting to face champion Dominick Cruz to unify the belts, but Cruz suffered a setback in his recovery from knee surgery and was forced to withdraw from the bout.
Michael McDonald is who he faces now, but Barao doesn't look at the fight any differently.
"It's not a different fight for me. I've trained hard for this. All the fights I've had were important. The most important fight for me is the next one, so I'm here to give it my best," said Barao at the UFC on Fuel TV 7 pre-fight press conference.
It will be the first time McDonald has fought in a title fight and his first time competing in England. Barao has done both, but doesn't feel it gives him an advantage.
"I don't feel I have an advantage over him because of this. I just feel that I'm really focused, 100-percent focused. I have to do my job," he said.
Related posts
Barao is expecting McDonald to be a tough fight and has prepared accordingly.
"I think this will be a great fight. Michael McDonald has been showing his work. He's shown that he is a tough opponent and a fighter who moves forward. I think it will be a great fight and a tough fight," Barao told UFC.com.
"I train with the best fighters in the world. I have the best in the world on my team and we all train really hard at Nova Uniao. I think it will be a war and I'm well prepared for everything. If I need to exchange, I'll exchange. If I need to take down, I will take down. If I need to use jiu-jitsu, I will."
Barao says this is the best training camp he's had heading into a fight.
"I know this will be a great battle, a great fight."

Watch out barao, anderson silva moving down to welterweight to fight Gsp, then down to your weight. Anything to avoid the real champion "weidman "!
I said months ago that anderson "the hider "silva would cut weight to welterweight to avoid chris "the spider crusher "weidman, due to overwhelming fear of weidman. Guess since I had this foresight, it makes what I say valid. Silvas punkboys swore that he would never go down to welterweight. Guess who was right? Me, tyrone. Its shameful that so called "champion ",avoids number one contender and is allowed to do so. He has held belt hostage for a year now without defending it by avoiding weidman at all costs, therefore he should lose belt by forfeiture and cowardice.! Silvas punkboys are sure to defend silvas honor because silva wont, and hes lacking honor and courage. Dana has a chicken roosting up in ufc and its the "hider silva "!
huh…isn't Silva vs Weidman fight almost scheduled?
This is a pretty awesome fight for a Fuel TV show

Inorganic Chemistry Dr. Schrodis general research interests are in the development of catalysts based on inorganic or organometallic transition metal complexes. Dr. Schrodis vision is to contribute to the field of Inorganic and Organometallic Chemistry on fundamental and applied levels, by investigating new ways to activate small molecules and developing catalysts useful in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry.
One area of current research concerns the design and development of novel olefin metathesis catalysts. These catalysts have had a tremendous impact on synthetic chemistry over the past decade. This fact was recognized with the awarding of the 2005 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Chauvin, Grubbs and Schrock for the development of the olefin metathesis method. Despite the great advances achieved in this field during the past fifteen years, there remain several unmet challenges. Particularly attractive goals include the development of longer-lived ruthenium olefin metathesis catalysts and of catalytic systems based on metals other and less expensive than ruthenium. We are currently working towards these goals.
A second area of current focus is the preparation of new ligands, including highly encumbered N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands and their applications to reactions catalyzed by late transition metals (e.g., ruthenium, rhodium, and palladium). Since their discovery by Arduengo, NHCs have been widely used to ligate transition metals and have enabled tremendous improvements in transformations such as olefin methathesis and palladium-catalyzed C-C coupling reactions. Larger NHC ligands are often able to impart superior properties to the catalysts that contain them, such as faster initiation, greater stability, and greater selectivity. Therefore, the development of highly encumbered NHC molecules promises to lead to further catalyst improvements and to access novel and reactive low-coordinate NHC-metal complexes.
Finally, a third area of interest involves the design and synthesis of homo- and hetero-multinuclear metal complexes towards the activation and transformation of small molecules (e.g., N2 and CO2).
Our research employs techniques of organic synthesis, inorganic and organometallic chemistry and catalysis, utilizing special equipment (e.g., inert-atmosphere glove boxes, inert-gas/vacuum lines, and modern solvent purification systems of the Grubbs-type) and a wide range of analytical methods (e.g., multinuclear NMR, single-crystal X-ray crystallography, GC, GC-MS, and LC-MS).
In addition to learning these synthetic and analytical laboratory techniques, students in our laboratory will acquire strong skills in areas such as problem solving and proper use of laboratory notebooks.
