Why get a website? Well, the best reason to have your own website instead of just a myspace or a soundclick is it's much, much more professional. Before people start sending you money and you turn your beat making hobby into a business, people are going to have to see you as somebody they should conduct business with.
Having your own website is one of the cheapest and effective ways to be taken seriously on the internet. Here I'm going to show you 4 quick steps to turn a boring afternoon into an affordable and profitable business venture.
First, get yourself a domain (.com). Hop on over to GoDaddy.com and pick up what ever you want .com. 10.69/yr. (Use Promo Code promo749 for $3/off)
You'll need your domain to point to a website now. I personally use Host Gator
because it's reliable and cheap, so hop on over and get yourself webhosting. You can also get your domain here instead if you want, it's up to you. 4.95/mth (Use the code MUSICA to get your first month free)
Now that you have a domain and hosting you'll need to have a website up with your contact information and the services you sell. You can either pay somebody to design a site for you, design your own, or use a content management system like Wordpress (which is what I always do). You can get it for free at Wordpress.com and while you're there you can pickup free themes. It doesn't take very long to have a website up, and you can edit and post content for free without using any html or programming anything. (Check out my post on How to Add Music to Wordpress to put song samples up.)
Start telling people about your website, print up some free business cards, do whatever you have to do to get the word out that you're online. Put it in your signature in online forums, tell all your friends, etc etc. You can also do some Search Engine Optimization to have your website rank well in Google, but I'm not getting into that here.
See how easy it is to get a website up and running?
Total Cost – $5.85/month, not including the two coupons up there.
Already have a website? Leave the address in a comment and get some free advertising.
thnx 4 da info. im definitely gonna check it out.
YEA!!! preciate tha free info, 1 step closa to do'n me THANX!!!

Logitech UE 900
"Switched to these from a TDK BA200 and the difference is phenomenal. I only paid about 80quid more for these than the BA200 with all the discounted sets appearing here and there. The first thing I noticed after getting a good fit was the immense soundstage. They are very detailed and clear in reproducing music, but are rather lenient on most lower quality mp3 recordings.

Actor Steven Seagal and the Mob
The Pharmacist
Jules Nasso was already a very successful businessman before he got into the entertainment business. A trained pharmacist with a doctorate from the University of Connecticut, Nasso founded Universal Marine Medical Supply, a company that provides medical supplies to ships in dock. The company started small in Queens, serving New York harbor, then expanded and eventually became a nationwide chain. The company proved to be lucrative, but for Brooklyn-born Nasso it wasn't exciting. He wanted to get involved with something more creative, something that had more cache and pizzazz than Band-aids and antacids. He wanted to make movies.
In 1983, at the age of 29, Nasso managed to land a job as a gofer on the Brooklyn set of Once Upon a Time in America, which starred James Woods and Robert DeNiro. Nasso had pitched himself as a neighborhood guy who knew the territory and was willing to do anything to break into the biz. The film's Italian director, Sergio Leone, who was famous for his "spaghetti Westerns," including The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, couldn't understand why a pharmacist with a growing business would want to work for $35 a day, running errands on a movie set. But the director didn't understand. Nasso had stars in his eyes and the dogged determination to follow his dream. He was there to learn.
When Jules first met Steven Seagal in 1986 at an Italian deli in Beverly Hills, Seagal was attracted to Nasso's goombah style and the intimation that he was "connected." Seagal, a self-professed man of danger, was so taken with Nasso's man-of-honor panache, he started telling people that he and Nasso were related and that they'd grown up together on the mean streets of Brooklyn. (Seagal's mother set the world straight on that point, insisting that her son was brought up in Michigan and California.) Nasso saw in Seagal a potential star he could ride into the Hollywood firmament, especially given Seagal's access to super-agent Mike Ovitz. Seagal and Nasso became partners, forming Seagal/Nasso Productions, which later became Steamroller Entertainment. But when Seagal's career skyrocketed, the New York mobsters who had allegedly helped Nasso in the past came knocking. They wanted a piece of the movie action.
It remains unclear when and if the wiseguys were able to "wet their beaks" in Seagal's birdbath, but Seagal had already reached his peak as a box-office winner when the feds caught Sonny Ciccone and Jules Nasso on tape discussing the erratic star. Ciccone is heard dressing down the pharmacist, demanding that he get Seagal to fork over $150,000 per movie to the Gambino family. The extortion plan could have earned the mobsters over $3 million. On the tape Nasso balks, explaining that Seagal might be a hard nut to crack.

By Dwayne Kinney, Digital Editor
40 years ago today 32 people died in a New Orleans gay bar. It was the largest LGBT massacre in American history. The bar was called UpStairs Lounge and had also served as the temporary home of New Orleans' Metropolitan Community Church (MCC).
It was a sweltering night on June 24, 1973 in New Orleans. Gays throughout the city were celebrating the fourth anniversary of the Stonewall Riots and the end of Pride Weekend in New Orleans. However, their celebration looked very different from what we are accustomed to today. There was no Pride parade in New Orleans that year. There were no gay flags hanging in the streets of the French Quarter. Instead there was widespread homophobia, rampant discrimination, and hateful violence for gays living out and proud.
The French Quarter had nearly two dozen gay bars at the time; however, gay life was almost entirely underground and talked about in hushed tones. The threat of violence was something that followed gays of this era on a daily basis. Metropolitan Community Churches in both Nashville and Los Angeles had been torched by arsonists earlier that year.
The UpStairs Lounge was on the second story of a building located at 141 Chartres Street. Entering the bar from the street meant climbing a flight of stairs that ended at a heavy metal door that remained locked. To get in, gay patrons would ring a buzzer.
On the night of June 24th the buzzer sounded at 7:56 p.m. signalling that a cab had arrived downstairs. According to survivors no one had ordered a cab; however, to see who the cab was waiting on someone opened the door.
Immediately the intense smell of Ronsonol lighter fluid filled the UpStairs Lounge. Someone had saturated the stairwell with the highly flammable liquid. Before anyone had a chance to react a fireball erupted up the stairwell and into the UpStairs Lounge.
There was no such thing as a clearly marked exit back in these days. Patrons were left to scramble for their lives as the heat from the fire and poisonous fumes roared closer. UpStairs Lounge's bartender, Buddy Rasmussen, helped 15 men escape from the fire. One of the men who made it to safety was George Mitchell, the assistant pastor at MCC. When he realized that his partner, Louis Broussard, had not escaped with him he immediately ran back into the burning flames. Mitchell managed to find Broussard in the chaotic inferno; however, they were unable to escape the building before being consumed by the fire. The two men burned alive as they held each other tightly in their final moments.
Other gay patrons tried to flee through the windows. Several windows were boarded up to maintain privacy and others were covered with iron bars 14'' apart. A few men were able to squeeze through the bars to safety. MCC's Reverend Bill Larson tried to escape through the window and got stuck. Helpless and wedged between the bars he was burned to death. His body remained in the window for nearly 24 hours after the fire was extinguished.
The story received very little press coverage. At first, news reports did not mention that the UpStairs Lounge was a gay bar. However, when the newspaper finally reported the sexual orientation of the victims it did so alongside bigoted quotes. In the newspaper a local cab driver said, "I hope the fire burned their dresses off." A woman was quoted saying, "The Lord had something to do with this."
However, the most insulting comments came from radio hosts who asked, "What will they bury the queers in." They responded with, "Fruit jars."
Three bodies were never identified and were buried in unmarked graves at Potter's Field. The City of New Orleans denied requests from the MCC who wanted to give the three men a proper burial.
Media coverage of the 1973 UpStairs Lounge Massacre:
A new documentary entitled "The UpStairs Lounge Fire" will air tonight at 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. on select Cox Communications channels:

Pirates Stumble to Fifth Place at NIC Invite
COEUR d'ALENE, Idaho. - The Pirate men continued their up and down fall season with a fifth place finish at the North Idaho College Invitational on Sunday and Monday at Avondale Golf Club.
Whitworth struggled to a fifth place finish only one week after posting two strong rounds to win the Whitworth Invitational at Spokane Country Club.
The Pirates shot 316-308 - 624 to finish in fifth place out of five teams. Only four schools were represented as host NIC used an A and a B squad. The NIC B team actually won the tournament with a score of 303-297 - 600. Rocky Mountain (304-300 - 604) was second and the Community Colleges of Spokane (295-312 - 607) finished third after leading through Sunday's first round. The NIC A team (309-306 - 615).
Casey Faught, playing unattached, won the event with back to back rounds of 70 for a total of 140 (-2).
Saul Martinez shot 77-73 - 150 to finish in a tie for sixth place. He was the only Pirate player in the top-ten. Jesse Salzwedel (76-82 - 158) and Stephen Plopper (82-76 - 158) tied for 18th place. Joey DeGroff (83-77 - 160) was 20th. Christian Boudreau (81-89 - 170) finished 28th.
The Pirates now turn their attention toward a strong finish at the 2011 Northwest Conference Fall Classic, which takes place Oct. 22-23 at Heron Lakes GC in Portland, Oregon. That tournament counts 25% toward the final conference standings.

Aftershocks rattle Imperial Valley, East County
City News Service
A pair of aftershocks struck the Imperial Valley and eastern San Diego County today, according to automated seismographs and computers operated by the U.S. Geological Survey.
The largest aftershock was centered on the U.S.-Mexican border, about 20 miles southeast of Ocotillo, or about 120 miles east of San Diego. It hit at 1:58 a.m., and was reportedly felt by persons in Tecate and Lakeside.
A magnitude 3.1 aftershock struck the same Imperial Valley epicenter at 3:42 a.m.
Thousands of similarly-sized aftershocks have rattled the area since a magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck on April 2 of last year, killing two people in Mexicali and severely damaging canals, schools and older buildings in Imperial County.

Perez Balladares and Doens Cited To Testify In CEMIS Case
Sunday, June 24 2012 @ 05:51 PM EDT
Contributed by: Don Winner
Views: 753
Abel Zamorano, the prosecutor responsible for the investigation into the scandal over alleged bribes paid to Deputies in the National Assembly to approve the CEMIS in 2002, again summoned the former president Ernesto Perez Balladares and the secretary general of the PRD, Mitchell Doens to testify in the case. Judicial sources said Zamorano cited Perez Balladares to appear on Monday June 25 Perez Balladares, and the following day, Tuesday 26, Doens. Both citations are related to two recordings provided by Perez Balladares in 2009 to the Public Ministry, in which the former PRD lawmaker Manuel De la Hoz and Deputy Carlos Afu CD giving their versions about the bribes. Both Perez Balladares and Doens had been cited to appear last week for the same reason, but they were not notified in time. Deputy Afu, the only defendant in the CEMIS case so far, went last Thursday to meet this legal process. (Prensa)

I don't care as long as I don't have to pay for it.
people keep saying that they should get the bail out because we dont want job losses. i cant rmrmber to many years that i havent heard in the news about the big 3 laying workers off. so bail out or no bail out, there will be job cuts. which does suck, i wish there was a way not to cut any jobs. but in order for the big threee to get many they need to reorganize which means job cuts too. the upside though is, that foreign companies building plants in the us means that there are jobs to be had there for anyone losing a job. i for one own a american car, i have never had a foreign car, i dont haver anything agaisnt them, but my dad fixes my cars and he knows more about american made cars. if a bail out could fix there problems i would be all for it, butits only a stop gap and we will have these same problems again. the uaw need to be done away with and started again, with the purpose of helping the workers not what they do know. which is get fat on the workers dime. too much money spent on lobby politicians to get there agendas passed
no bail out. let them re-org under chapter 13.
This is just the beginning. If they go through with this bail-out it will set the bar for many future bail-outs of other coprorations in the future. If the big three can't make fuel efficient cars that people want they deserve to go under.

Mediterranean Shipping and CMA CGM, the world's second- and third-largest ocean carriers, announced an agreement Thursday to join forces on key trade routes around the world in a far-reaching partnership likely to trigger a new round of consolidation in the container shipping industry.
The carriers said in a joint statement the partnership would span several trade lanes, including Asia-North Europe, Asia-Southern Africa and all South American markets. The partnership will allow CMA CGM and MSC to deploy their best ships, while increasing the number of port calls and frequency of sailings.
The alliance between the two family-owned companies comes at a time of deepening losses in the industry triggered by excess capacity and slowing world trade that has prompted moves by smaller carriers to pursue consolidation.
In the past week, Chile's CSAV and Zim, the Israeli carrier, have been reported to be seeking partners, while Malaysia's MISC Berhad announced it will exit container shipping because of mounting losses.
The CMA CGM-MSC pact is also expected to exert fresh pressure on Japan's top three shipping lines, MOL, NYK and "K" Line, to re-examine plans to spin off their ocean container activities into a single unit.

|The way that Vu Nguyen commented in this article makes me feel uncomfortable. Maybe it's the fact that he didn't answer many questions and the ones he did answer he either side stepped or just walked around completely.

|Well, that had to be the most vicious interview I've read in a while. Did you really have to start attacking him from the very begining?

|That was an interesting read, but it didn't provide very much new information at all. "I can't comment on that." It almost reminded me of that horrible interview by ICv2 with Yen Press' Rich Johnson. "I don't know." "I can't comment on that." Heh. I also thought that many of the questions being asked seemed slanted against Crunchyroll. At certain points, it almost seemed like the interviewer was trying to aggressively force Nguyen into saying something potentially damaging. If ANN chooses to interview Crunchyroll staff members again, I would like to see more questions about their current and potential team-ups with other production companies than what was already asked, and also about other types of Asian media that Crunchyroll currently offers or are considering offering in the future. Overall, it was an okay, but definitely not your best, interview. Thank you for posting it.

the thing is, some people really do wonder about how ethical the people behind CR are. those are questions that those people would really like to see answered to clear things up, for good or ill. the fans who are really considered with the fate of the industry would really like to see some of that stuff answered, hopefully in a way that calms our fears. their "no comments" and sidestepping just made those fears worse in some ways.

This was not a good interview at all. Zac was FAR too vicious in his questions, and Nguyen was far too sidesteppy.
At the very least, they're more copyright-friendly than youtube, with their "once it's down, it's down" policy.

It sounded... awkward, to say the least.
He completely avoided a lot of questions.

Interview wasn't that surprising. Frankly, I don't have much sympathy for CR so I don't care if Zac was asking such harsh questions. They deserved it.
It just further proves that they're completely aware of what they're doing is wrong, but don't want to admit it.

I want to point out that the ethics and legality of what Crunchyroll has done in the past have been not only unprecedented, but also at the forefront of discussion among both the fan and professional community at large after their venture capital announcement and I felt it was my responsibility to aggressively pursue those questions and concerns upfront rather than offering them up in easily-ignored, gently-phrased soundbites that didn't get to the core of the issues at play here.
On that note I will mention that I'd have loved to talk a lot more about what the future of Crunchyroll is. The timing of this interview did not allow for extended discussion of their plans, but that will hopefully change down the road.

|My main problem with the interview is that it just sorta... stops after he finally gets them to admit they get a paycheck for their work and that their site isn't the focus of GONZO's palns just a part of them. It's almost like he felt the need to publicly demonstrate those two points and just aranged the interview for that purpose. There were plenty of things that would have been interesting to hear about from them but somehow I doubt they'll give you another chance to interview them after this.

|Rare is the time I agree with Zac. Though I felt uncomfortable about how some of these questions were pursued, they are the same questions circulating around this whole situation. I'm glad Zac had the courage and integrity to pursue these questions. Seeing how Mr. Nguyen "answered" them leaves me to believe there are quite a few things they don't want to disclose. Even if Zac's questioning was annoying, it was Mr. Nguyen's sidestepping of almost every question that made me sick over anything else.

I really enjoyed this interview, and I give major points to Zac for pushing the question of where the money was going. It was pretty hard to believe that several people could quit school and there jobs and work on the site for nothing, so I'm glad that it was admitted that Crunchyroll pays it's employees. Whether that's always been the case will clearly not be commented on, but now we know for sure that they're making money from illegal content.
Also, the whole "I can't comment on that" answer to so many questions leads me to question their practices overall. I understand that certain business deals, like with Gonzo, can't be discussed openly until they're finalized, but too many questions were dodged for my taste.
And I also don't see how them requiring donations was anything like VHS fansubbing since the fansubbers do the work and Crunchyroll just hosts it. Plus it was nice that the previous interview with a fansubber article came up as a means of pointing out that Crunchyroll isn't that popular amongst older fansubbers.

While I am biased against CrunchyRoll because of their ethics, I immensely enjoyed the aggressive questions; deep down to the bone. There were some conflicting responses like "there are plenty of sites out there that don't respect takedown notices like we do.". I also find it a bit strange that 'cost to maintain the site' and donations match up evenly.
I've actually talked to some fansubs groups on irc and they absolutely hate CR because their work is being shown with bad quality.

Dow Chemical makes first dividend cut in 97 years
Dow Chemical announced its first quarterly dividend cut in 97 years, citing the economic downturn and a pair of deals that turned sour late last year. The Associated Press reports that the company cut its dividend from 42 cents to 15 cents. Though it is the company''s first reduction since 1912, it will still be the 390th consecutive cash dividend issued. Dow postponed its $15.4 billion buyout of specialty chemical maker Rohm & Haas just weeks after a planned joint venture with a Kuwaiti company collapsed. Dow had expected to pocket $7 billion from the Kuwaiti deal, money that could have helped fund the Rohm & Haas acquisition. Dow had agreed to pay $78 per share for Rohm & Haas, a price some on Wall Street consider too high given the current economic climate, especially after the

Many tuned in to watch the intense chase of a stolen FedEx truck. Now, a man suspected of being behind the wheel has been charged.
Relatives of 19-year-old Caleb Michael Ownby said he's never done anything before like what happened Wednesday. They said it was a stupid mistake that began with a fight with his girlfriend that somehow snow-balled out of control.
For nearly 30 minutes many were glued to their television sets and mobile devices as they watched live coverage of a man driving a FedEx truck stolen from a gas station. The driver went into both Kansas and Missouri while he took police on a wild chase.
At one point officers almost had the man when they pointed their guns at him while the truck was stuck at a light, but the man was determined not to give up and sped off as soon as traffic started moving again.
"Ownby almost struck several cars and it was apparent he showed no regard for the public's safety," Clay County prosecutors wrote in court documents.
A short time later, police used stop sticks, sparks and flames were seen coming from the back of the truck and the man was finally captured in a Prairie Village, KS, neighborhood.
The following day, Ownby made his first court appearance in Johnson County court. He was charged with one count of theft of a delivery truck valued between $25,000 and $100,000, one felony count of resisting a lawful stop by fleeing and creating a substantial risk of serious injury or death, one felony count of tampering with a motor vehicle and one misdemeanor count of driving without a license.
When asked in court if he wanted to hire his own attorney or be appointed one, Ownby said that he would hire one. However, when the hearing was over, his relatives - who did not want to go on camera - said they had no idea how he was planning to pay for a lawyer.
Ownby's family said the whole thing was a stupid mistake that started when he got into a fight with his girlfriend at the Ameristar Casino. They said he walked across the street to a Shell Service Station at 8801 NE Birmingham Rd. and, since he didn't have a ride and was cold, took action when he spotted the FedEx driver fill up his truck with gas and go inside. The driver had left the keys in the ignition.
His family said it was a crime of convenience and that Ownby was looking for transportation. They said he was never after the packages in the truck.
Court documents also show that there are differing counts regarding whether Ownby's family knew about the stolen truck and its contents.
A probable cause statement said they got a tip that stolen merchandise from the FedEx truck was being held at a Kansas City, MO, home. Ownby's mother told police when they questioned her that she didn't know he had stolen the truck and stored packages from it in her home and in a back shed. But interviews with other family members said that she was carrying a new television Wednesday afternoon and stated "Take this! I have to go. I hope Caleb doesn't go to jail. He stole a FedEx truck. Don't tell anyone."
Court documents said that officers recovered boxes with FedEx logos on them in a shed behind the family home, in the basement, in a playhouse in the backyard and behind the shed of a neighbor's home.
Ownby's bond was set at $10,000. His next court day is scheduled for the morning of Dec. 12.
As far as all the packages that were in the stolen FedEx truck, a company spokesman said in a written statement, "All packages are accounted for and customers can expect them by the end of the day."

UNH Faculty Senate
Motion on January-term E-learning
session length
on January-term E-learning session length
1. Motion presenter: Michael Ferber
2. Dates of Faculty Senate discussion: 11/28/2011 and 1/30/2012
3. Rationale:
The committee thought that four-weeks should be available for faculty thoroughly to cover the material in four-credit on-line courses and that this would be comparable with the length and intensity of summer courses. Most staff are away from the university between Christmas and January 1, but instructional technology staff can be made available during J-term. The IT staff might be needed in order to fine tune the instructor's and the students' access to the technology needed for the course. A senator said that the intention of the motion is to offer more time for those faculty who feel that three weeks are not enough time to teach their course effectively. How faculty use the time is up to them, and the amount of time needed may depend on the type of course. The committee wanted to create a four-week window of opportunity to present the on-line J-term courses. By passing this motion, the senate would be saying what the calendar for on-line J-term courses should be, but the senate would not be saying how the time must be spent or what the contact hours must be. However, the support staff should be available during that time.
4. Motion:
The Faculty Senate mandates that the January-term E-learning session be four weeks long, beginning shortly after Christmas, in order to allow time for contact with the instructor or participation in course discussions comparable to the time so devoted in ordinary semester-long courses. This requirement shall take effect in academic year 2012-13.
5. Senate action: passed with twenty-five ayes, eight nays, and two abstentions.
6. Senate chair's signature: Larry Prelli
Forwarded to: President Mark Huddleston, on March 1, 2012
Forwarded to: Provost John Aber, on March 1, 2012
Forwarded to: Lisa MacFarlane, Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs, on March 1, 2012

Why the Bills must lose out.
To begin this post I just want to say that I love the Bills. I have lived and breathed them for over 2 decades and I am sick and tired of mediocrity. The reason teams who constantly stink get better is the quality of their draft picks. Teams like the Lions (not this year), Falcons, Seahawks, Houston, and others are able to crawl their way out of the NFL garbage heap is that when they stink, they really stink. Which allows these franchises to select in the top 5 picks in the draft. These selections are usually of higher quality than the perennial losers (like the Bills) who always seem to have selections in the 8-15 range which are usually much more of a gamble. I believe that the Bills must lose the next two games.
Right now according to my calculations they would have the 8th selection overall. 5-9 with a 50% SOS. There are 15 teams close to them in the NFL and depending on the outcome they could end up anywhere from 3rd to 17th in the draft order in the 2013 NFL Draft. The next two games are crucial and as much as we want them to win the franchise is better off if they lose both. Miami and the Jets both have losing records, loses to these two teams would push their SOS below 50% and could allow them to select over teams like Detroit, Cleveland, Tennessee, Philadelphia, Carolina, Arizona, Miami, and the Jets. It would be painful but, these loses might secure Manti Te'o, Jarvis Jones, Luke Joeckel, or their QB of choice (which I believe they should pass on until a later round). The gain might not seem like much in the first round but, selecting between 35-40 vs. 45-50 in the second round, 70-75 vs. 80-85 in the third round, and 105-110 vs. 115-120 in the third round in a huge upgrade in quality options.
Please Bills for all your loyal fans lose!

This thread offers up-to-date analysis of the Monta Ellis trade scenarios and rumors. Stay tuned for more updates.
Like us to subscribe
According to the New York Post's Peter Vecsey the Golden State Warriors have been told by Monta Ellis' agent that he wants to be traded.
It was definitely starting to seem that the W's were just going to hold on to Monta after trade rumors including players like Lamar Odom and Andre Iguodala never really came to fruition. But apparently the winds of change shifted once again late Thursday afternoon as the team is once again giving serious thought to moving him, but only if the offer just knocked their socks off.
Vecsey put in a call to Jeff Fried Thurday evening but the call was never returned. Yet according to Vecesey word has it that Fried has told the W's front office that Monta definitely wants to be moved.
This could possibly be the beginning of the end of the marriage between Monta and the W's, especially with two more guards drafted Thursday in Klay Thompson and Charles Jenkins.
Stay with SB Nation Bay Area for all the Monta rumors. For more on the W's head over to Golden State of Mind.
If the 2011 offseason could be summed up in two words it would be "Monta Ellis." Ken Berger (via Tim Kawakami's Twitter) of CBSSports.com reports that the Warriors and Lakers discussed a Ellis for Lamar Odom and Shannon Brown trade that "went nowhere." According to Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury, Monta Ellis, at the tender age of 25 but in the league for a good 7 years now, is ready to be traded to a contender:
Important note: Ellis loves playing at Oracle Arena. But he also is at the point in his career where he wants to be playing for titles.
Wow. The Warriors have to be foolish to want Odom and Shannon Brown. Historically, Odom's value seems to appear and disappear depending on the talent surrounding him. Perhaps it has more to do with age, location, and coaching, but Odom's Los Angeles Clipper days were lackluster. Among the Los Angeles Lakers and relatively stacked Miami Heat squad, Odom seems rather motivated on most occasions.
What actually worries me about a trade like this is the difference in ages between Odom (32) and Ellis (25), unless Shannon Brown is the real center piece of this trade. Shannon Brown is an electrifying Warrior killer for sure. But so is the Spurs journeyman Matt Bonner.
And if Odom is the centerpiece of that trade (obviously), there are a ton of red flags. This is all purely my own opinion and you can take this with a grain of salt, but Odom's marriage to Khloe Kardashian would probably kill Odom's inspiration to play basketball if it wasn't in Los Angeles.
Why? Well, rumor has it that their prenuptial agreement, in the event of a divorce, has Odom paying for courtside tickets for not just her but her whole family, which I presume is for life? With that said, having been a title contender for a while now and being within Hollywood circles with Khloe, imagine how miserable he would be as a Warrior away from the limelight and think how that would kill his inspiration to play basketball. I expect candy binges like crazy on the sidelines and ballooning weight. Odom tried and has finally become part of Los Angeles' glitterati and the activist sensibilities or tech dominant culture of Bay Area life — Steve Jobs is the closest thing to Jack Nicholson — probably doesn't mesh well with Odom's career trajectory.
Also, is it strange that Ellis is already on the path of wanting to "play for a contender?" I thought that was meant for aging vets in their twilight. I guess the Warriors consistent internal turmoil would do that to a player.
At any rate, with these kinds of rumors swirling and previous baggage with Ellis' Moped-gate incident, it is probably time for the Warriors to part ways with one of their best, yet polarizing — on and off the court — players in Monta Ellis
Monta Ellis speculation has run rampant in the streets the past few days. The momentum again appeared to stall once Golden State Warriors general manager Larry Riley was questioned on the issue. Basically, all the trade rumors you've heard the past few days? Bunk, pure bunk. Matt Steinmetz of CSN Bay Area reports.
"This is one of those things where there have been at least two stories that were absolute fabrications. Some of those things that are coming out are an insult to the people on the other side."
(To have an idea of the trades that have been suggested, they involve Dwight Howard, the #2 pick, and Andre Iguodala. Some of these appear to be a little ridiculous, so draw your own conclusions as to which ones Riley is referring to.)
Moreover, Riley says that teams seem to be more interested in another Warrior. Sam Amick of Sports Illustrated reports:
Riley also said the trade calls for Stephen Curry far outweigh those for Ellis: "Nobody is saying,'What will it take to get Monta Ellis?'"
This is a master work in obfuscation by Riley. The Warriors could be deflecting interest in Ellis to try and drive down interest in him publicly. They could just be trying to assuage Ellis. And while it seems unlikely that they're trying to shop Curry, but it's not out of the realm of possibility, right? Both together seems like a defensively deficient backcourt, so one has to go, and if it's not Ellis ...
All in all, don't think this saga is quite over yet. The Warriors could not make a move most of the summer, and the Ellis rumors won't die down until Golden State makes some type of move to transition to the defensive-minded basketball they want to play.
Warriors fans, would you trade Monta Ellis? If you had to trade Ellis or Stephen Curry, who would you trade and why? Let us know in the comments!
For more on the Warriors, discuss them at Golden State of Mind.
According to NBAdraft.net the Golden State Warriors' and Philadelphia 76ers' rumored deal to swap Monta Ellis for Andre Iguodala has been confirmed by sources close to the situation.
There is no deal imminent, but the proposed trade is "on the 76ers table if they want it." The deal would make sense for the Warriors who are looking for improvement on defense and ball movement, two things Iguodala does very well, not to mention they guy can definitely score in this league. Ellis could jump into a 76ers team with up and comer Jru Holiday and have a similar situation that he has already with Steph Curry, but the Sixers need a legitimate scoring threat, and Ellis certainly is that and some.
Despite the fact that the W's braintrust has stated they are not shopping Ellis and would love to keep him, the fact that these rumors keep popping up is quite the contradiction. And the longer this all goes on, I'd say the chances Monta is a Warrior next year becomes less and less of a possibility.
For more on the W's head on over to Golden State of Mind to get your fix.
In this rumor-filled offseason, the Warriors hope to continue to rebuild their team in what looks to be the basketball equivalent of ABC's Extreme Makeover. Recent trade rumors link star player Monta Ellis to just about every team in the league and a possible suitor for his talents could be the Minnesota Timberwolves, allegedly interested in trading their #2 pick for some young veteran presence.
Sporting News' Sean Deveney weighs on some of the teams rumored to be engaged in trade talks with the Timberwolves and makes some suggestions on what could possibly work. For the Warriors, Deveney believes a package of the Timberwolves #2 and Martell Webster for Warriors #11 and Monta Ellis:
WARRIORS: Golden State has been connected to just about every team in the league in trade talks this offseason, but oddly enough, not with the Timberwolves. Still, if the Warriors want a taker for star guard Monta Ellis and the Wolves want a premier perimeter scorer, a deal makes sense. Ellis wouldn't fit Kurt Rambis' triangle offense at all, but that would just give the team added incentive to replace Rambis as coach. If the Timberwolves would part with Martell Webster — whose 3-point shooting would be a good fit in Golden State, and who can play the kind of perimeter defense the team is looking for — plus salary fodder and the No. 2 pick for Ellis and the No. 11 pick, and there could be the germ of a deal there.
This trade seems rather logical for the Warriors since getting the number #2, who most likely, though not definitely, would mean landing Arizona's PF Derrick Williams with the sweet outside stroke. The Warriors could definitely use more consistent shooting threats. Monta Ellis may be a great scorer, but he has enough deficiencies in his game and size that diminish his value in the market for teams looking for more scoring. Also, getting Derrick Williams would just be more symbolic than anything fot the Warriors franchise as Lacob aims to start his regime with his own players and staff (as we've already seen). With any long term relationship, break ups, even if they were destined for failure, are still tough. Securing the #2 pick isn't chump change though.
For the Timberwolves, this could make some sense as it gives the PG of the future Ricky Rubio someone to run with. If Rubio really is the point guard, dishing out 10+ assists a game as predicted by scouts, analysts, and GMs, Ellis looks to be in a good position to score, score, and score. This team won't be playing much defense, but Ellis will be gigantic upgrade over all 1st round busts of recent memory (Wayne Ellington and Johnny Flynn to name a few).
If you're the Warriors, would you accept a Monta Ellis for T-Wolves #2?
If the new Warriors regime hasn't been exciting enough already, Jonathan Givony of Draftexpress.com reports that the Warriors have offered Monta Ellis, Andris Biedrins and Ekpe Udoh for Dwight Howard. Givony adds that it is "unlikely that'll get it done," which I interpret as the Warriors package is pretty worthless. If the Magic are in rebuilding mode, being strapped with two long-term deals in Ellis and Biedrins, a combo that has not won many games together, is hardly the way to go. And Udoh clearly has not and probably will never project as the next in line of great Orlando Magic centers.
But, Magic GM Otis Smith has a weird love for Warrior players, collecting and turning such players as Adonal Foyle, Matt Barnes, and Mickael Pietrus into important reserves. Jason Richardson and Gilbert Arenas are the two newest former Warriors to don the pin stripes, but they haven't exactly been as heralded as the others. With that said, Ellis, Biedrins, and Udoh probably won't get the deal done. But Smith seems like the guy to be open to a trade with the team he used to work for (a former Warriors front office executive). He clearly has a soft spot for the Warriors....or at least the players. If the Warriors are willing to package some first rounders with Ellis (sans Biedrins) and Udoh, I could see Smith biting if he thinks its time to rebuild.
What package do you think would likely "get it done?" Do the Warriors realistically have any pieces that Orlando, realistically, would want?
Well, it's been a fun week of circulating trade rumors for Golden State Warriors guard Monta Ellis, but it looks like it's all coming to an end. Head coach Mark Jackson has seemed to place his support solidly behind Ellis, stating that he's the third best shooting guard in the NBA. It's a strong statement, but a statement that indicates that he's going to be a Warriors starter when the next season begins.
And then Golden State general manager Larry Riley offered even stronger remarks indicating Ellis would be back in the Bay Area next season. Zach Lowe at Sports Illustrated revealed those thoughts in his conversation with Riley.
"We are not shopping Monta Ellis. It is business as usual here. I think you have to look at what just happened in the Finals — it seemed like Dallas played pretty small guards throughout that series with Miami and did a pretty good job of it. Our problem is not the small backcourt. Our problem is defense."
Well, Golden State hitched their wagons to Stephen Curry, so it looks like Curry and Ellis will be the Warriors backcourt for the near future. And although neither of them are defensive stoppers, it seems Golden State believes the problems lie elsewhere. Will the Warriors get bigger to be better?
Do you think Monta Ellis will be traded? Who will he be starting for the next time Golden State plays basketball? Let us know in the comments.
Monta Ellis of the Golden State Warriors is making the rounds in the NBA rumor mill. Due to the relatively lackluster free agent class of 2011, Ellis has suddenly become a very marketable asset for the Warriors to deal, and a potential championship piece for
One such contender is the Memphis Grizzlies. Memphis had a pretty incredible run as the eighth seed, falling one game short of the Western Conference Finals, but ultimately ran out of offensive weapons to utilize. Tony Allen and O.J. Mayo could not provide enough scoring punch, and the absence of Rudy Gay finally did in the Grizz. Also, keep in mind Monta does have a home in Memphis, so he'd probably be very inclined to a trade there.
With the Warriors looking to hone in on defense, they'd probably not be so happy to take on Gay's deal (a notably below-average defender) and focus on Mayo and Tony Allen, Allen perhaps being one of the best on-ball defenders in the NBA. The salaries, however, don't match up unless Gay is included somehow, so it's unlikely Golden State would make a trade if they were giving up one mediocre defender for another. It depends on how much defense and youth (like Greivis Vasquez, Darrell Arthur, Hamed Haddadi) they're willing to sacrifice to get the offensive firepower to lift the Grizzlies up on that end of the floor and help out Zach Randolph.
And let's not forget Jerry West once worked in Memphis. If there's anyone who'd listen to West and give him the trade he'd want, you'd figure it'd be Chris Wallace.

With Monta Ellis trade rumors linking him to almost every playoff contending team in the NBA, Warriors owner Joe Lacob tells San Jose Mercury's Tim Kawakami that what the press is reporting is far from the truth:
LACOB: I don't think he will be. I mean, you want me to give odds now? There's a tremendous amount of speculation in the press, and I can't believe where all this is coming from… because the stories are completely fabricated, by you or whoever. I don't know who's fabricating them.
They're fabrications, complete and utter. All these teams that supposedly have talked to us. It's not true. It's just not true.
We all really like Monta Ellis a lot. We think he's a great player. The question will be, like with every other player on the team–is there someone we think makes more sense, that could be better, make us a better team?
Smart move by Lacob to step in and do some damage control on, probably, the hottest trade rumor out there right now. The Warriors have done a "great" job in the past alienating its players by denying trades when they want out or trading them for below market value or at the peak of their popularity among Warrior faithful. It is definitely refreshing to see Lacob step in and take control of the situation and to show a better administrative culture in place.
But with a limited talent pool available this off-season, will the Warriors get the value they and fans feel they deserve in exchange for, arguably, their best player? As many NBA analysts have been critiquing already, SB Nation Bay Area's Avinash Kunnath included, Monta Ellis is a bad fit for many of the teams allegedly talking to the Warriors. More specifically, these critics feel that teams are unlikely to part with the pieces the Warriors want for a "smallish" two-guard that doesn't blend well with teams' existing culture and/or players. Further, the Warriors most likely won't want what these teams ARE willing to part with. Hoopsworld Joel Brigham discusses how Taj Gibson and Omer Asik are the likeliest pieces the Chicago Bulls are willing to move.
With that said, if Taj Gibson and Omer Asik are the best the Warriors can fetch for Ellis' talent, do you pull that trigger? If getting fifty cents to the dollar is this off season's going rate for Monta Ellis, do you do that deal to start "fresh?" If you were the GM/Owner, who would you be willing to "settle" for in exchange for Ellis?
Interest in Golden State Warriors shooting guard Monta Ellis has came from multiple organizations. We've reported on the possible offers from the Bulls, the Blazers, the Sixers, the Lakers. Now we take a look at the interest the Atlanta Hawks might have in the Bay Area's top guard, according to Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle.
The Hawks are an interesting group, and they did give the Orlando Magic and Chicago Bulls plenty of tests before bowing out. But again, sharing a backcourt with Joe Johnson and Jamal Crawford seems like a disastrous idea in the making, considering all three want the ball in their hands to create their shots. Sharing the rock does not seem like a valid idea.
It's also hard to see who the Hawks could deal to get Ellis. Josh Smith seems like a logical choice, but there are issues in taking him on. Despite all the blocks and steals, it's hard to see the Warriors drastically improving defensively with just Smith's services. Jeff Teague seems like another possibility to give Stephen Curry some assistance, but Ellis as a point guard seems like a disaster in the making. We'll see if Atlanta has anyone satisfactory to trade.
If the Warriors traded Monta Ellis, who should the Hawks trade to get him? Let us know in the comments!
To see what Hawks fans think of a potential Ellis trade, check out Peachtree Hoops.
Regardless of what Mark Jackson is saying publicly, the Golden State Warriors are expressing noticeable interest in dealing Monta Ellis. The Warriors have found plenty of early suitors for his services, including the Los Angeles Lakers, the Philadelphia 76ers, maybe even the Chicago Bulls. However, none of them probably have the assets Golden State would desire for a player of Ellis's offensive talents.
The Portland Trail Blazers do. Ken Berger of CBS Sports stated that the Warriors had received interest from the Blazers about a potential trade. And Portland does have a cadre of talented wing players that can possibly fill in the gaps. Gerald Wallace, Brandon Roy, Nicolas Batum, and Wesley Matthews are all names that could possibly be floated as targets for the Warriors. Portland was very strong defensively in the playoffs, but just couldn't find enough scoring to put them over the top. Ellis gives them that punch and plenty of defensive talent to help him out.
It'd be hard to see the Blazers parting with Roy, much less the Warriors wanting him and his fragile knees. Wallace is a possibility, but at 29 he's close to his prime and won't have much of a shelf life in Golden State (the contract does match up pretty well, but it's a risky move given Wallace's health issues). So if I had to venture a guess, the Warriors would probably target Matthews (a solid defender) and Batum (an up-and-coming star and also solid defensive player). While Golden State would probably have to take on a salary dump or two (Ellis's contract way exceeds the combined values of Batum's and Matthews's), and also potentially give up draft picks it'd be worth snaring one of those two valuable defensive talents.
If you were the general manager of either team, what potential trade would you make to get Monta Ellis? Let us know in the comments!

The Monta Ellis rumor mill is churning out big ones these days. The current one? The Golden State Warriors are interested in the Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose. So are 25 NBA teams, Adidas, Powerade, and many many single ladies. I'm going to guess there won't be any returning phone calls for the MVP to be dealt to the Bay Area in exchange for
But center Joakim Noah? They would at least try to pick up the phone. It would be a step toward the defensive mentality the Warriors are trying to establish with general manager Jerry West and head coach Mark Jackson. Sam Smith of NBA.com believes that Noah is the likeliest possibility, but it'd be hard to see the Bulls being interested in a guard like Ellis who doesn't bring the defensive intensity that Tom Thibodeau teams generally put on the court.
On the flip side though, it was clear that defense wasn't really the problem against the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals. It was Rose or bust for Chicago when they were looking for scoring options, and LeBron James put him on ice. Ellis (who is one of the few guys who can drive past Dwyane Wade in this league) could provide that second crucial scoring burst Chicago needs to get to the Finals next season.
Bulls fans, Warriors fans would you make a Monta Ellis-for-Joakim Noah trade? If not, what would be a better trade for both teams?
For more on the Warriors, check out Golden State of Mind. For more on the Bulls, it's Blog A Bull time.
According various media sources, the Warriors have been in trade talks with a range a teams. Allegedly, the Warriors have been interested in Memphis Grizzlies Rudy Gay, Philadelphia 76ers Andre Iguodala, and Denver Nuggets Nene in exchange for Monta Ellis.
Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury considers which rumors could make the most sense for either team and concludes that the Sixers are the likeliest partner (though by no means official) given how much they would save in salary over the couse of the next three years:
I just don't think Philadelphia pulls the trigger on this, unless it can find no better deal for Iguodala (27), who is owed $13.5M, $14.71 and $15.9M (as a player-option).
But Kawakami brings up an interesting scenario, which involves the Minnesota Timberwolves parting with their number two pick in the 2011 NBA draft.
I'd guess the Warriors would love to have a shot at Arizona's Derrick Williams with the 2nd pick, but the problem is, what else would they have to take from Minnesota to make the money work? Luke Ridnour? Wayne Ellington? Jonny Flynn?
I'm not sure Monta would be too thrilled to end up in Minneapolis, either.
Could the Warriors pull that off? A move like that would be another bold (symbolic) step this summer for the Warriors newly formed front office looking to distinguish the new post-Chris Cohan regime. The move would be very Jerry West-esque, possibly reminding Warrior fans of his 1996 moving of Vlade Divac for Kobe Bryant (not that Derrick Williams is the next Kobe Bryant, but more in terms of risk-taking draft night moves).
The NBA trade rumor mill is heating up surrounding Monta Ellis as more and more media outlets are reporting on potential deals. CBS Sports NBA columnist Ken Berger is reporting that representatives for Ellis are working with the Golden State Warriors to try and work out the optimal deal for both sides. As Tim Kawakami tweeted, if this report is true it would indicate Ellis realizes this deal is going to happen in some form, so he might as well get on board and work out something good for himself.
League sources told CBS Sports that the Trail Blazers, Hawks, 76ers, and Bulls were among the teams expressing the most interest in acquiring Ellis. Of course, as is often the case with trade rumors in any sport, there will be dozens of off the wall rumors thrown around before something actually happens (if something actually happens). Before all is said and done, Monta will have been on the verge of being traded to half the league. And that's just in the next week!
In the past year, Monta Ellis' made his way onto the national radar for his late game heroics and electrifying performances on national television. His offensive outburts versus the Los Angeles Lakers have been so spectacular that Kobe Bryant voluntarily offers his vote of approval anytime they match-up.
But as the center of many trade rumors as of late, critics have taken note, using advanced statistics, that Monta Ellis is an overrated scorer. SB Nation writers weigh in on the alleged talks between the Warriors and the Orlando Magic and Philadelphia 76ers and there seems to be a growing critique that Monta Ellis won't upgrade a team…at all.
Evan Dunlap of Orlando Pinstripe Post provides a range of reasons why Ellis is not really the scorer as advertised. But beyond his lack of scoring efficiency, numbers show that the Warriors were better off with him on the bench. Here's a brief snippet:
Over the same span, only six players have averaged more than one shot attempt every two minutes. Ellis ranks last among them in efficiency, with a True Shooting mark of 52.7. Last season, the average NBAer had a True Shooting mark of 54.3.
In short, Ellis takes a lot of shots at below-average efficiency.
Over at SB Nation's Liberty Ballers, Jordan Sams concludes through offensive statistics per 36 minutes and other advanced stats that Monta Ellis is actually no different than the Philadelphia 76ers own Lou Williams. For those advanced stat challenged folks like myself, here are the basics:
Ellis – 21.5 points, 5 assists, 3.1 rebounds, 1.9 steals
Williams – 21.2 points, 5.2 assists 3.1 rebounds, 1.0 steal
The only significant advantage Monta had over Lou is his field goal percentage of 45, opposed to 41 for Lou. However; when free throws and threes are factored in, the players' true shooting percentages are identical. Lou got to the line 2.5 more times per 36, and shot a slightly better percentage (82% to 79%). He also made 0.3 more threes per 36, but shot a slightly lower percentage than Monta (36% to 35%).
There is more nuance to these analyses about Monta Ellis' offensive value and overall value to a team when he's off and on the court, which I encourage you to read in full.
With that said, will the Warriors struggle to find a new home for Monta Ellis? And as one of the Warriors best players, what kind of value should the Warriors expect to get in return?
Just when Warrior fans rejoiced at the possibility of adding a bigger, more versatile, and more defensively oriented 2-guard in Andre Iguodala, Marc Stein of ESPN.com reports that the Philadephia 76ers and Los Angeles Clippers are considering a trade, too. Stein notes that an Iguodala for Chris Kaman trade could be in the works, especially since their salaries match. Kaman's injuries, however, could prevent this from going down:
The Sixers, according to the source, are in the market for a new big man but covet an athletic big. After a lost season, Kaman must hush concerns around the league about his injury history and foot speed. Those concerns could be an issue for Sixers coach Doug Collins, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher.
Are Warrior fans crossing their fingers that Kaman's injuries prove too huge a liability to overcome?
Dexter Fishmore of SB Nation Los Angeles weighs in on the alleged Warriors-Lakers trade talk and notes how this trade makes absolutely no sense:
To begin with, he plays the same position as Kobe Bryant. More to the point, he occupies the same role as Kobe Bryant, as a high-volume shooter who wants the ball in his hands much of the time.
Fishmore adds, via Eric Pincus of Hoopsworld, that the person the Lakers mostly likely would be wiling to give up of value for Monta Ellis is Lamar Odom.
To sweeten the deal for the Warriors, the Lakers will have to throw in Chloe Kardashian. Bad jokes aside, with Jerry West co-orchestrating, perhaps he can work his magic like he did a few years ago swapping Gasols? Can the Warriors get some real value? Can West somehow run some GM Jedi mind tricks and secure Pau Gasol? Heck, even Kobe Bryant (sight sarcasm)?
The Warriors have been making a lot of noise this off-season and, possibly, for the right reasons. Historically known to over-evaluate their talent, the Warriors this off season are making moves and trading, arguably, their best player in Monta Ellis is one scenario that seems to be gaining steam in recent days.
The trade talks began with Jerry West, recently hired advisor, mentioning that trading his favorite players, as difficult as it was for him emotionally, payed off in the end because of the talent it added to the team. Recognizing Ellis' talent, West added that scoring wasn't all that mattered to a team's success. Hint hint?
In the last few days, Ellis for Andre Iguodala trade talks swirled in addition to other discussions about the Warriors engaging in trade talks with other teams.
Some analysts believe the Warriors and Bulls could both benefit from a Monta Ellis trade given the potential size the Bulls could offer the Warriors in return. Not all, however, are convinced Ellis would fill the Bulls' void at the 2-guard spot nor any other strategies as upgrading their team against their new nemesis in the Miami Heat.
Doug Thonus of Bulls Confidential, a Chicago Bulls blog on ChicagoNow.com, believes that trade talk of Ellis for the size of Joakim Noa or Luol Deng merely recreates the size issues in Chicago that the Warriors currently have in their backcourt:
Ellis, similar to Rose, is largely an on the ball player with great quickness who attacks the rim, draw fouls, and only shoots if he can't find a seem to the basket. He's worse in terms of PG skills and a worse defender (IMO), but he's basically a small A guard (by A guard, I mean a guard who looks to score when he has the ball).
This is not so different than what Chad Ford mentioned about the size issues that a Ellis for Iguodala trade would create for Philadelphia 76ers. With that said, are Monta to Philly or the Bulls not likely to happen? Ellis as a ball-dominate player doesn't seem like a fit for the Bulls given how the team is centered around Derrick Rose's dribble penetration. Ellis could take a backseat and he managed to get his points just the same at the end of the 2009-2010 season when Don Nelson officially handed the keys over to Stephen Curry on an injury-ridden and talent depleted Warriors squad. By adding Ellis, however, the Bulls seems bent on outscoring teams and we know how far that's taken teams like Mike D'Antoni's Phoenix Suns.

How To Grow Zucchini
Zucchini, described as a type of summer squash, belongs to the Cucurbita pepo species. It is regarded as a vegetable and is, more often than not, cooked as a savory dish or accompaniment. Known as courgette in New Zealand and British English, the vegetable looks quite similar to ridged cucumber in its shape and can be yellow, green or light green in color. In a few cases, you might come across round or bottle-shaped fruit cultivars of zucchini as well. Do you know that it is possible to grow the vegetable at home only? Go through the following lines and explore more on how to grow zucchini.
Growing Zucchini Plants
Supplies Needed
- Peat Pots
- Soil
- Fence/ Garden Lattice (optional)
Planting the Seeds & Vines
- Start sowing the zucchini seeds indoors, a month before the end of the winters.
- Take a small peat pot and fill it with soil. Now, go ahead and put one seed in each of the pots and keep them indoors for one month.
- The best time for planting zucchini in the garden is after the end of winter season. As soon as you feel that the threat of frost is gone and the spring time is about to begin, you should start preparing your garden for planting the vegetable.
- Now, plant the zucchini vines in your garden. If you want, you can also place the entire peat pot in ground, since it is biodegradable in nature. This will make sure that the roots of the plant are not disturbed.
- While planting the zucchini vines, make sure to leave substantial amount of space between two vines. This will ensure that they do not end up strangling each other, when the leaves start growing. At the same time, the vines will get enough sunshine throughout the day.
- If you feel that you do not have enough space to plant the zucchini vines wide apart, choose a location that has a fence nearby. The other option will be to use a strong garden lattice for growing your zucchini vertically.
After you have planted the zucchini vines, you need to take proper care of them. In this context, the steps given below will come handy.
- Make sure that you water the zucchini vines deeply, every few days. Before re-watering them, make certain that the top of the soil has dried completely.
- If you want to have a healthy garden and delicious zucchinis, it is very necessary to keep the plant healthy and free of bugs. So, whenever you see any insects or mildew on the fruit of the plants or on the leaves and vines, wash it off as soon as possible.
- Be patient. A zucchini plant always grows plenty of leaves and male flowers, before it rewards you with the squash.
- Do not wait for the zucchinis to reach full maturity, for harvesting them. Rather, you should harvest the squash when it is less than 8 inches long, tender and full of flavor.

No one really knows why the trail, "Hospital Ridge" in Whitehorse has been named so. Its meaning lost in time and faded into insignificance, one brave photographer has taken the charge to rename this iconic singletrack to something more meaningful.
There can be no confusion as to the rightful owner of said trail. Award-winning, much lauded megastar Dan Barham has, in his infinite wisdom, allowed this stretch of track to bear his official seal of approval, by graciously agreeing to its naming after him.
