This video is from The UpTake, filmed Friday, Feb. 19, 2011.
An original version mistakenly said this video was 'live.' The live stream will resume Monday.
The headline could have otherwise said…
Today It's Them, Tomorrow, It's You!
Or it should have said, yesterday it was you, and you did nothing.
Wow, this time we don't even have to go to AlJazeera to watch it… ;)
Those 29 million of you that sat out 2010 that voted Dem in 2008. Gonna vote now? If not, just give in to tyranny.
GO MADISON! An actual grass roots movement is happening here. The media fawns all over the filthy teabaggers, and only gives this casual mentions. This is real people-power. Not corporate funded, Koch Brothers bullshit. Let this spread to EVERY state capitol!
report from WI today: Folks are pouring in, braving freezing rain. Chanting: We Are WIsconsin .,..
I love the smell of democracy in the morning.
The teabaggers should be NON-news… this madison thing is real news.. a real protest against real problems.
Nonono…no. This is George Soros and the Nazi Caliphate ushering Americans into the sharia ovens. No-o-o-o-o!!!! ArggghhhhHHHH!
I'm interested in finding links and info on how folks like myself who live far from the area, can support the people of Wisconsin.
Anyone have ideas or links?
Heard some right wing hack say the unions are trying to create "two Wisconsins." What dreck. Like teachers, firefighters, police, and janitors are living high on the hog. The protesters are trying to raise the bar for everyone.
But AlJazeera did talk about Wisconsin and had video, and last Friday the Egyptians gathered again in maydan (square) Tahrir and some of them held signs supporting Wisconsin.
This is great! On Wisconsin!
And the right wingers want to drag us all down to third world wages. I swear if this does not work peacefully it will work violently, "rhetoric" be damned.
If you have a twitter account use hashtags #wisconsin and #StateSOS and #wiunion.
Teabaggers report 15K counter-protesters…people there report around 100..
SEIU solidarity rally's this week..
My question is how long did it take for the MSM to start covering this story???? Too damned long in my estimation. Shultz and Maddow were on this from day one but the rest of the media waited until they were 4 days in before it was even mentioned. But if 25 "Tea-baggers" show up somewhere for a protest the bastards cover it 24/7. This thing that started in WI will be continued in other States because the "Reich Wing" has mounted a offensive against labor in this country.
LOL! We joke, but I find it truly frightening how many complete morons actually believe that Beck-erhead nonsense.
I wish the left would learn that elections have consequences. Just because you were not thrilled with Obama's first two years, what you see now is the consequences of not showing up to the polls to counter the screeching teabaggers.
He certainly has a lot of loyal followers for an uneducated, mentally ill, alcoholic/drug addict.
Inpeach the republican house menbers now get the ball going they been in a year and can be removed, takes that governor power away.
Phone number for Madison to buy pizza for the "protesters" :
Why are they not focussing all this energy on the banksters? Those are the criminals who stole their pension funds. Why must the taxpayers fill the gap? Let them demand repayment from the banksters.
Now that would really be a movement worthy of joining.
We need to do what they did in Iceland – this is just perpetuation of the left/right obfuscation of the oligarchs' guilt.
If not you… who? If not now… when?
Give me freedom, or give me a decent wage and a job.
People have the power. This is great to see. More to come though…
Either the koch's couldn't find 30K busses to charter, or there aren't that many TeaBaggers who can drive.
I LOVE WISCONSIN!!! (Midwest born and raised)
Those people deserve only the best!!
Protest Columbus Ohio 9am Tuesday Morning, same problem Republican Governor John Kasich and his republican controlled statehouse wants to eliminate our state employee unions.
WTF? between this site and daily kos's "upgrade" your getting too slow to be useful.
Why have a video link that when I click on it I have to go to another page that is even slower then this one?
Absolutely. Getting all emotional because Obama isn't the Messiah, is no reason to vote for the devil.
teabaggers are planning to pose as SEIU members so they can cause trouble at the nationwide protests…
The fact that our electoral system is a fraud has consequences also. And this is the result of those consequences, Dr. Matt.
We're all immune from "Tyranny" when we vote for (D)?
Progressives didn't vote for the devil- they didn't vote at all. And Obama is chiefly to blame for that.
So much energy and hope went into getting Obama elected, that when he turned out to be a fraud and a corporate puppet, the progressive base was left demoralized. But what we are seeing in Wisconsin and Ohio is the resurgence of the liberal voice. THIS is democracy in action.
Beautiful. THIS is democracy in action. This is patriotism. This is the America that I am proud of.
As an Aussie, I have trouble with some of the labels over there. They don't make sense to me. Conservatives are radicals, the liberals are intolerant, republicans are tyrants. Bizarre!
As long as it is costs 10s of millions of dollars to elect a people's representative, they will represent the money that got them there. The system needs changing. I can understand your disappointment in Obama, but I think he didn't realized until he got to the White House how things really work. Things you and I only guess about. The system is like an elderly infirm person being abused by it's selfish greedy children.
I have seen how individual contracts can reduce a real wage and living standard in a few years myself.
I am hoping the Wisconsin people will succeed their right to collective bargaining. If they fail, heaven help the rest of the country, because the republicans won't.
'not thrilled' is putting it a bit mildly. so is that last sentence…
Actually this is exactly how the system is *supposed* to work. Bad choices at election time & a lot of no-votes due to the Democrats led to the WI lawmakers attempting to push through bad policies. And that led to protests. The protests are in response to the entire terrible situation. Voting for the lesser of two evils would not have necessarily prevented this, only dulled it a bit, stretched it out over time.
Damn DUI's…
It should say, "Today it's them…tomorrow you're broke."
"I can understand your disappointment in Obama, but I think he didn't realized until he got to the White House how things really work."
I disagree. The MEDIA made him generally appear as a good guy, and his PR group, the "commercial advertising guys" branded him very well (orwellian "hope and change" bullshit).. and he did lie about a few things like being for the Public Option (a passing nod on occasion to Single Payer).. and it stuck for some people, like Bill Maher who screeched about how "he said he supported the Public Option during his campaign.. of course he's for that! .. so what he never brought it up in the actual HCR discussion, he promised us he cared about it!"..
but if you watched the full story being developed during the _full_ campaign, you noticed the DNC putting up pro-corporate tools and ignoring real progressives. Kucinich was blocked _by his own party_ from being in Primary debates.. Why? He would have called attention to the underlying pro-corporate bent Obama and Shillary had (Edwards became a non-starter as soon as his affair was leaked). The "party leadership" picked two pro-corporate tools and dressed them up as "historical! woman or black! wow!". THAT is what the bulk of the Media was talking about.. this "an historic election".
Obama knew exactly how things worked in the White House. And he knew what he needed to say to the public to get there. Once there, he abandoned all of his promises to the people, and acted on all the promises that the Media never really covered.. things the public would have had to dig around for (and I did) to know.
And it was his walking away from the promises that were hyped in the Media that deflated the base. And I think that was by _design_.. and clearly it worked. .. of course, my being contrary to most, it backfired in terms of my personal life.. I voted for the first time in my life in 2010.. to add weight and try to block the teabagger push. Unfortunately, too many Dems were too tired of fighting for liars who end up giving bailouts and not ending wars and not taxing the rich and working to undermine Social Security, etc. etc.
America gives me a headache. And its all your fault! ;)
Everything is so complicated over there. Your electoral system is so convoluted and ineffective. The Institutions built to maintain your freedoms and prosperity as so corrupt and outdated.
You feel cheated because you believed in Obama. He is slick and well trained. He must have gone to the best finishing school. All his speeches sounded like Kennedy announcing the Apollo mission and we trusted him. But no one can become President without selling their soul first. It goes with the territory.
All the Egyptian people want is electoral reform. You need the same thing. Not 18 months of campaigning and millions of $s. Primaries, Super Tuesdays. What a media circus. In the mean time, who's running the country? Six weeks is all the time you need for an electoral campaign. If you can't decide in that time, you shouldn't be voting. The rest is a waste if your life.
Why wait for a revolution to get the change you need. You are supposed to have freedom already. Get rid of lobby money. The people are the only lobbyists. I think it is time to freshen up the Supreme Court. It smells of lavender and urine.
I was disappointed in the Dem voters as well. The Devil said he hadn't changed, and that was the one thing he said, that wasn't a lie. So now they have Obama by the nuts. The system is stalling.
Love you icon:)

Ah, how secondary education has changed!
When I was a lad, school operated on a system of strict rules and severe punishment rather than incentives and reward.
Every Friday afternoon, the student with the lowest test scores in the class would plunge into a deep pit filled with spiders, stinging nettles and dog poo as the trapdoor below his chair sprang open; the soft, wet thud his body made as it came into contact with the mounds of muck marking the end of another week at Catholic school.
We worked hard, we dodged the poop. That's how we rolled.
But not this generation!
A teacher in China has shown that the promise of reward really can have a motivating effect on students' performance as one young teacher set her students an inspired challenge:
"Come out on top in the next test and I'll wear a maid outfit."
And, staying true to her word, the brave teacher dressed up once the results were in…

BISD board member Mike Neil filed the complaint against Haynes, accusing her of obstruction of a public passageway. The charge is a Class B misdemeanor.

The DA's office has requested additional paperwork and photographs from BISD police.
DA investigator Tim Smith said once that information is gathered, the review will begin.

Why Would a Person With Autism Need to See a Social Skills Therapist?One of the most significant problems for people on the autism spectrum is difficulty in social interaction. This difficulty is, of course, made more significant by problems with speech and language. But autism also seems to create problems with "mind reading" -- that is, with knowing what another person might be thinking. Most people can observe others and guess, through a combination of tone and body language, what's "really" going on. In general, without help and training, autistic people can't.
This "mind blindness" can lead even the highest-functioning person on the autism spectrum to make social blunders that cause all kinds of problems. Without knowing why, a person on the autism spectrum can hurt feelings, ask inappropriate questions, act oddly or generally open themselves up to hostility, teasing, bullying and isolation.
What Exactly IS a Social Skills Therapist?As autism spectrum disorders have become more and more common, a sort of industry has grown up around teaching social skills to both children and adults. There is no such thing as an association of social skills therapists, nor is there an official certification in the field. Thus, social skills practitioners come from a wide range of backgrounds and training.
In general, social skills therapists are social workers, psychologists, occupational therapists and speech/language therapists who specialize in working with autistic people. Over time, they have developed or learned techniques to build social interaction skills ranging from basic skills (such as making eye contact) to complex and subtle skills (like asking for a date).
In recent years, "do it yourself" social skills teaching tools for parents and adults on the autism spectrum have hit the market. These generally take the form of books and videos modeling different types of interactions, along with hints and tips for "doing it right." Drama therapists also work on social skills through literally scripting scenarios and/or improving and critiquing practice interactions.
What Do Social Skills Therapists Do for People with Autism?Since there is no official certification for social skills therapists, techniques vary. In a school setting, social skills therapy may consist of group activities (usually games and conversation) with autistic and typically developing peers. Groups may be overseen by school psychologists or social workers, and may be held in the classroom, lunchroom or playground. Generally speaking, school social skills groups focus on game playing, sharing and conversation.
Out-of-school social skills groups are similar in style, but are paid for privately (medical insurance is unlikely to cover such programs). Children are grouped by age and ability, and may make use of specific social skills curricula as developed by well-established practitioners of social skills therapy.
Drama therapy, a variation of social skills therapy, is somewhat unusual -- but where it's offered, it has the potential to be both fun and educational. Video modeling, video critiques of interactions, group therapy and other approaches may also be available in your area, and are especially appropriate for teens and adults. Typical cognitive therapy with a psychologist or psychiatrist may also be helpful.
In theory, social skills therapy will provide people on the autism spectrum with the ability to converse, share, play and work with typical peers. In an ideal world, such therapy will allow people on the autism spectrum to become almost indistinguishable from their typical peers.
In fact, social skills therapy tends to be offered no more than an hour or two a week -- and while it may provide autistic learners with specific skills and techniques ("look at a person's face when you're conversing," for example) it's unlikely to make an autistic person appear typical. A program most likely to have such an impact would be very intensive -- unlike the vast majority of existing social skills programs.
How Can I Find a Qualified Social Skills Therapist?Since there is no official certification for social skills therapists, it can be a challenge to find a qualified practitioner. Most of the best social skills therapists are not so much trained as born: they happen to be very talented therapists in their own field, with an innate understanding of how to help people with autism "get" how others think, feel, and act. Thus, the fact that someone has been trained in a particular social skills method does not necessarily make him or her an ideal therapist. Probably the best way to decide if a therapist is right for you or your child is to attend a few sessions.
Most school programs for children with autism do include social skills therapy. There is no guarantee that the person running those programs has specific training in or experience with running such programs, so it may be worth a parent's time to inquire into just who is offering such programs and why they were chosen to do so. It's not at all unusual for a school psychologist or social worker to run social skills programs with relatively little training or background.
If you are interested in finding private social skills therapy, a good idea is to start with your local Autism Society of America chapter or AutismLink, both of which offer information about local practitioners.

Former U.S. Olympic wrestler Daniel Cormier faces Jeff Monson at Strikeforce: Overeem vs Werdum this weekend. It's a main card fight on Showtime, a first for Cormier who has headlined Strikeforce Challenger cards and been on the undercard of major events but never on the big show.
SBNation's Luke Thomas spoke with Cormier in advance of the bout:
Luke Thomas: Let's talk about your fight now this weekend with Jeff Monson. Fair to say that he's the toughest competitor so far in your mixed martial arts career?
Daniel Cormier: Hands down. Hands down best guy I've ever fought. No disrespect to the other guys but they'd probably agree. Devin Cole fought him too a while back and lost so it's a constant progression. I've went from a guy with no wins and no losses in my first fight and then the next guy had five and the next guy had six, you know? It's been a constant progression for me and my career and right now I think I'm at the point where I can start testing myself against some of the people that have been in the game a long time and have had success and have fought at the highest levels of the sport. Because how am I supposed to get there? For anybody to ever advance in the sport, you've gotta beat some body. You can't continue to just fly under the radar. It's my opportunity to step up and show what I'm made of.
Luke Thomas: I want to talk about his submission game. You're one of the best if not the best wrestlers in MMA and for heavyweights it's obviously a completely different game but he is, for heavyweights, one of the best submission grapplers. Multiple titles in Abu Dhabi dating all the way back to I think '99. To what extent does that influence your decision to go to the ground? I know you're confident at all points of the game and I know that's a cliche question but I guess when elite Freestyle Wrestling meets elite Submission Wrestling, how does Freestyle Wrestling win the day?
Daniel Cormier: I'm very aware of his half guard position, whether he's on his back or pulls guard or when he shoots and then pulls half-guard. It's one of his strongest positions and you have to be totally aware and I am. I am aware that he is unbelievable in that area but with that being said, I cannot admit that or sit here and say I'm not going to wrestle him because that would be unfair to myself and the skills that I have. I'm a wrestler so I have to be willing to go to the ground with Jeff and hope that the training I've done in the gym and my partners and everything else has sufficiently prepared me for all the challenges that he's going to present. It's going to be extremely tough but we are confident in what I've done in the gym. Nobody in the gym is Jeff Monson and nobody can grapple like Jeff Monson but I've gotta believe that what I've got so far coupled with the skills I have naturally and that I've gained in wrestling, should be enough to allow me to grapple with him through everything else.
Cormier will have his work cut out for him against Monson. He was originally slated to face undefeated prospect Shane del Rosario before a car wreck forced del Rosario off the card.
If Cormier can get past Monson he'll be in an excellent position to face some of the other alternates from the Strikeforce Grand Prix.

...and as my Great Aunt once told me, "When is the last time you seen a U-Haul behind a Hearse? So let it go or share with the younger generation to pack up and carry on"....I think its time for me to do just that.July 1, 2010 at 7:57 p.m.
There's someone in town that is skilled in helping you manage all that stuff.July 1, 2010 at 12:55 p.m.
Someone once told me "You don't own your stuff, your stuff owns you"
Another person once told me"You know what you get to take to Heaven with you? Everything that you give away....."
that probably does not mean the materialistic stuff going to Heaven with you, but the good intentions of your heart by giving.....July 1, 2010 at 12:11 p.m.
Hmm...maybe I'll organize a massive "stuff" yard sale for all of us. That way we can all get rid of our stuff...although chances are good it will just end with all of us buying everyone else's stuff. :)July 1, 2010 at 11:54 a.m.
All I need is this Thermos. ... And that's it.July 1, 2010 at 10:44 a.m.
I could so relate to this article. When I left for college everything fit in my car, and the last time I moved 25 years later it took 2 days and the biggest Uhaul. And, I consider myself the one in the family that doesn't hang onto "stuff". I am thinking I need to reconsider that and will start de cluttering this weekend. Thanks for all your great articles and stories, keep them coming.July 1, 2010 at 10:01 a.m.
Another great article... I loved it.
I guess it finally hit me when the Victoria Public Library wouldn't accept my outdated books.... There has to be someone out there that still needs or wants the book " Secrets of Windows 98."
After many years, my wife has finally convinced me start throwing away things because she said" now that you are approaching 65,and if you have not used those things in years, the likelihood of you ever needing them is dwindling away.".... That's cold and true.July 1, 2010 at 9:27 a.m.
I feel like this article was written specifically for my husband and I... Something he and I have been discussing for months now that we need to get a handle on all our "STUFF". (although we use the word "crap" in place of the word stuff)....Hmmm maybe I'll use this article as a subliminal message to get motivated...Thanks April ;)July 1, 2010 at 8:27 a.m.
I love the fishbowl theory, Aprill. Very true.
I have a book that I read again and again from time to time to help motivate me to not keep things I don't need. I lent it to my mother because she is a huge pack rat.
She lost the book.
Think about how much easier life is without so much clutter. Having so much stuff takes away time from doing things that are more worthwhile. Instead of having to organize, wash and sort things, we could be spending time doing fun things instead.
Also, instead of retail therapy, maybe treat yourself to an experience like a trip or a day at a theme park. Or beer. Lots of beer.
Watching "Hoarders" is good motivation, too.June 30, 2010 at 8:56 p.m.
I would have totally said "your mom".
I've only been out of college for a year, and yet I have twice as much stuff as I did when I left. I have no idea where it came from, considering I've been dirt poor until recently.June 30, 2010 at 4:32 p.m.
Great article. I agree exactly, de-cluttering = less stress, less stress = :)June 30, 2010 at 4:26 p.m.

Brochures, Smart Phone Apps Bring Lafayette's Historic City Cemetery on Shaw Street to Life
Tim Omarzu, The Chattanooga Times Free Press
June 7, 2012
Reprinted with permission.
Walker County, Ga., Sheriff Harvey Mize's first – and last – day on the job was Feb. 14, 1879.
Mize tried to arrest a man named Brad Redding for a misdemeanor. But Redding shot the sheriff, killing him with a blast to the face and chest from a double-barreled shotgun.
There's no record of the gunman ever being caught and brought to justice.
Soon, the sheriff's story – and those of people buried at 23 gravesites in LaFayette's historic City Cemetery on Shaw Street – will be brought to life in a yet-to-be-released cemetery walking tour brochure.
"There are interesting people [buried] here," said Catherine Edgemon, the city's Main Street and Economic Development director, who's putting the brochure together. "People who are interested in having a unique tourism experience or really like history would find the brochure helpful."
The brochure is compiled from a variety of historical sources. It will include a map guiding visitors to gravesites in the 20-plus-acre cemetery and short biographies of the dead. One such is A.P. Allgood, one of three men who in 1845 founded the Trion Mill, which still operates today as Mount Vernon Mills in Trion.
His daughter, Mary Ruth Allgood, who died at age 15, has one of the cemetery's most striking gravestones – a tall monument topped with an angel.
LaFayette isn't alone in trying to make its historic cemetery more visitor-friendly. Here and across the nation, other cemeteries have gone beyond brochures with attractions ranging from actors dressing up as the dead, to smartphone apps that give tours, to live music concerts.
"At least once a year, we feature what we call 'spirit walks' through here," said Ty Snyder of the Dalton Area Convention & Visitors Bureau.
During these tours, local actors portray the dead at the historic West Hill Cemetery in Dalton. People buried at West Hill include Gen. Duff Green, who was in President Andrew Jackson's "kitchen cabinet," or collection of unofficial advisers; baseball player Harry Leon "Suitcase" Simpson, one of the first blacks in the American League; and Catherine Evans Whitener, whose cottage industry of making tufted bedspreads led to Dalton's status as the world leader in carpet manufacturing.
When actors from Dalton Little Theatre first portrayed the cemetery's dead in the summer of last year, "it was a sell-out. In fact, they had to do an encore three months later in the fall," said Debby Long, of the Dalton Area Convention and Visitors Bureau.
The spirit walk is a historical interpretation, not a ghost tour, Snyder noted.
"As historic preservationists, we found that [ghost tour] kind of disrespectful," he said.
Myrtle Hill Cemetery in Rome has 20,000 people buried in its 32 acres south of downtown, including Ellen Axson Wilson, the first wife of President Woodrow Wilson and the only U.S. first lady buried in Georgia.
"It's definitely a big draw," said Luke Chaffin, marketing assistant for the Greater Rome Convention and Visitors Bureau.
The cemetery is "next to downtown. It's like a beautiful, hillside sculpture garden," he said.
In October, the visitor's bureau leads an annual cemetery tour called "Where Romans Rest." Myrtle Hill is such a big attraction, the visitor's bureau is developing a smartphone app that will determine a visitor's location and provide information for corresponding graves.
It's probably the future," Chaffin said.
The regional leader in the making-cemeteries-friendly effort may be Atlanta's historic Oakland Cemetery. On Sunday, it was host to a Mother's Day "Love Stories of Oakland" interpretive cemetery tour.
On May 19-20, the cemetery's second annual "Tunes from the Tombs" benefit concert featured more than 100 bands on five stages plus food trucks and beer and wine for sale.
Those buried at the parklike, Victorian-era Oakland Cemetery include Margaret Mitchell, author of "Gone With the Wind"; golf pro Bobby Jones; 27 mayors; six governors; five Confederate generals; and 6,000 Civil War soldiers – 3,000 of whom are unknown, said the cemetery's executive director, David Moore.
"It didn't matter if you owned the railroad, rode it or slept under it – we've got everybody," Moore said.
Oakland's envelope-pushing events, such as Tunes from the Tombs, did "raise eyebrows," Moore said. But he contrasts today's vibrant, well-loved cemetery with its condition in 1976, when the Historic Oakland Foundation was created to preserve it.
"It was a crumbling, kind of weedy mess," Moore said. "To preserve something, you've got to use it."
Moore said the cemetery's visitors are respectful. For example, after Tunes from the Tombs, he said, "you don't see a cigarette butt. You don't see a candy wrapper."
The cemetery's revitalization has helped bring back the surrounding East Atlanta neighborhood and attract such development as condominiums and businesses, including the Six Feet Under Pub & Fishhouse that gives a discount to cemetery visitors.
Cemeteries around the country are trying a variety of tours and special events to draw people in, according to Tanya Kenevich, an editor at New Jersey-based Kates-Boylston Publications. It publishes cemetery trade magazines, including American Cemetery, Funeral Director and Funeral Service Insider.
"A lot of cemeteries are trying to establish themselves as a park," said Kenevich, who cited birdwatching, picnics, nature tours and simply enjoying lunch in a quiet, contemplative spot as some of the uses cemeteries are promoting.
The May issue of American Cemetery features a seven-page article titled "Celebrating Moms" that describes how cemeteries around the country are inviting people in to celebrate Mother's Day.
Active cemeteries are trying to bring in people partly to offset a decline in burials because of the increasing popularity of cremation, Kenevich said. Older cemeteries that don't have many burials use paid tours to generate money for upkeep.
Moore estimates the Oakland Cemetery gets 50,000 visitors a year for its various events.
"I wish we could get 800,000 [visitors] like the zoo," Moore said. "But we don't have furry animals. We just have dead people."

Soloing Over a Riff (Relative/Parallel scales)
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to understand the concept of relative/parallel scales.
First of all, would I be right in saying that relative scales is e.g. C Major and A Minor (6 steps apart) Say the riff was played in the key of C Major. Then one could play a solo in A Minor and the two together would sound well.
Parallel is when one e.g. plays a riff in C Major and solos in C Minor (or vice versa, I imagine). I imagine this is correct.
So, e.g. when one is playing a riff in a half-whole diminished scale, what would be the relative or parallel scales for that, if any? Are relative/parallel scales only used with modes?

The Secrets to Perfectly Sweet Parsnips
9 July 2013, by gj
You can learn a lot in a grocery store produce department.
It was a number of years back and in the fall, I was looking to buy some parsnips for a homemade vegetable soup. I always considered parsnips to be a rather tasteless, woody vegetable that's good for soup but not much more.
Certainly not a vegetable to waste garden space on.
"Oh no we don't carry them this time of year" the produce department manager told me. "You wouldn't want them anyway. They're much better in the spring after they have had some cold temperatures."
Of course I was intrigued, and did some research when I got home.
She was right, seed suppliers actually recommend planting in the spring and overwintering parsnips.
So in the meantime, we got some seeds and planted the following spring. We also bought some parsnips as they came in, to see for ourselves.
She was right again. We never thought of a parsnip as being sweet, but it makes sense because they are closely related to carrots.
Now if you have ever tasted how much sweeter a homegrown carrot is than a store bought one, let me tell you the same is true for parsnips. We were shocked when we pulled some the following year. They are so sweet we add them to any recipe that calls for carrots. We have even added them to pancakes (see recipe tab above.)
There's only one other secret to growing parsnips that we have found. You see, the seeds take a long time to germinate, up to a month. You just need a little patience; and be sure they get watered every day.
After that they are easy. If you find you need to thin as they get bigger, try to wait until they have had at least one or two frosts.
Here in Zone 5/6 you can plant as early as March and as late as July. We planted late May and will mulch heavily when the weather cools, pulling a few throughout the early winter months and the rest come spring.
Mmmm… now I wish we still had some from this past spring!

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – Several Civil War-era objects have been stolen from a display cabinet inside the Cape Fear Museum.
According to the museum, five items were found missing Friday morning.
"It is very distressing that we would have been targeted in this manner," said Barbara Rowe, museum curator. "We take the security of our collections seriously."
Rowe said the museum is working with the New Hanover County Sheriff's Office, the county property management, and museum staff to investigate this incident.
According to the museum, the stolen items are as follows:

Prior to last season's draft Houston had no superstar players, a few middle of the pact 1st rd draft picks, and the inability to attract any big name free agents. Aside from the above Houston was also far from a playoff contener. However, instead of following a popular ideal of "tanking" for the chance to draft a 17 year old players who wont be ready to contribute to a championship for at least 4 years, Houston aggressively pulled off a trade for James Harden using an unprotected draft pick they got from Toronto for Lowry, Kevin Martin (a player with similiar skill sets to Aaron Affalo), and one of their draft picks Jeremy Lamb. Because Houston was able to pull off a bonafide all-star with Harden they were successful with attracting the biggest free agent on the market to sign with their team and are now one of the favorites to represent the West after making a couple more transactions.
My main point is to everyone who constantly post about Magic needing to have the worse record so we can possibly draft Wiggins should pump their breaks just a little.
Orlando has a few young assets worthy of developing, a likely lottery pick to entertain trading for a superstar (Rondo) who may not be happy where they are, and the upcoming cap space to solicit the top free agents the next few years.

Tips from the public have led to several searches in the Pendleton area for a man considered a person of interest in two brutal attacks.
In each case, Danny Wu has not been found.
On Aug. 9, Karen Lange, of Pendleton, suffered critical injuries in an assault. Police started searching for Lange after she was reported missing because she didn't return from her daily walk along the Umatilla River Parkway.
She was found the next morning, unconscious in a brushy area below the walking path, and transported to Oregon Health & Science University Hospital in Portland.
Surveillance video now shows a man who police identify as Danny Wu just before the attack on Lange. Police say DNA from a pipe used to beat Lange matches DNA found at a murder scene from 2012.
In that case, police say 19-year-old Amy Jane Brandhagen was found stabbed to death in a Pendleton motel. Detectives say Wu matches the description of the killer in that case.
Wu has not been named a suspect in those cases. Instead, he is considered a person of interest for now.
Investigators searched several miles along the Columbia River and the cliffs near Hat Rock State Park on Tuesday on foot, by ATV and by boat after the caretaker at McNary Yacht Club reported seeing a suspicious man in the area.
There were no signs of anyone or remnants of camping spots found in the area.
On Aug. 22, a similar search was conducted near McNary Park and Two Rivers Correctional Insitution after a possible sighting of Wu was reported to police.
Though they have not yet led to Wu, investigators encourage anyone who believes they see a suspicious person to contact police.
Pendleton police describe Wu as a "loner" who doesn't associate with or talk to others. They said he is a frequent user of public libraries, and he typically arms himself with knives, screwdrivers or any device that can be used as a weapon.
Wu is described as an adult male, 18 to 25 years old with a tan or darker skin tone and brown or black hair. He's about 5'8" or 5'11" tall, weighing 150 to 175 pounds and was last seen wearing khaki shorts and a dark brown or black shirt.

The manager said it started in the morning with a woman in her mid-60s paying for the order of the person behind her.

On the whole the team is hitting pretty well this week, small sample size of 4 games obviously but 6 regulars slugging .500 or better isn't too bad. The Dodgers continue to get NOTHING offensively out of the SS position.
Starting pitching has been pretty good aside from Lowe, whose line only really looks bad because of the HR he's given up. Chan Ho Park's disastrous outing is the only really bad relief performance so far this week.
Just a caveat I did all the numbers by hand so there are bound to be errors. Feel free to correct me.

Wow, that is incredible how even though it is swirled, the blossoms remained! What are those ruins in the next field over?
I was wondering about that, too, Pam. It is the first CC that I have seen where a field was blossoming.
The blossoms don't llo damaged at all. I wonder if there is a closer up pi of the blossoms themselves.
The Crop Circle seems to be a molecule of something. Maybe someone knows their chemistry to identify.
The smiling mouth shape reminds me of the swing of a pendulum, suggesting a balance point and timing.
llo = look
First to see blossoms within a cc. This one is gorgeous and, for me, exudes love and joy!!! paula.cn
Aha!!! :-) Your message here triggered my own "impression", IAmAnotherYou...I am thinking this is an indicator of our "junk DNA" being activated during this time. The top bar thing is our "regular two-strand DNA", and the molecule things are what they tell us are these intermittent strands of unused DNA that scientists could never figure out (hence the term "junk"). I have learned that we were coded with these strands of "alien, super-powered" DNA during our earlier evolution which were meant to be activated when the timing was right. Well...looks like it is TIME, NOW! :-)
What is fasinating me is the little dots they keep doing, have no idea what any of them are saying.
bottom picture isn't that stonehenge mmm being in a field that is full of flowers maybe this reprsents
us blooming
yes!!! That IS Stonehenge, Sally Jane! :-) Isn't it amazing that MOST Of these crop circles are near this ancient structure (Wiltshire)? I think it is very telling, and I do really like your description of us "blooming"....as per my reply above, I think our "junk DNA" is depicted as NOW being activated! :-)
I would love to be activated Zora becoming ourselves once more
The flower symbolism associated with poppies is beauty, magic, consolation, fertility and eternal life. The Egyptians included poppies at funerals and in burial tombs. The Greeks used poppies in the shrines of Demeter, goddess of fertility, and Diana, goddess of the hunt. Poppies denote sleep, rest and repose. In modern times, poppies have been associated with Flanders fields as an emblem of those who died in World War I.
Not Stonehenge; though not far from there. Just one of the many bowl barrows of sarsen (sp?) stones strewn throughout Wiltshire. The poppies are fantastic. Odd ... I've been feeling so euphoric in recent days that I had just said to someone that I feel like I'm on opium.
Here is an aerial view of Stonehenge: Oh... how to attach a photo here???
wow that is amazing, a blooming crop circle! and with stonehenge nearby! Guess what the South American spirituality calls the Age of Aquarius? the Age of Flowers! We're here kids!

If people could see me the way I see myself - if they could live in my memories - would anyone love me?
- John Green (via kushandwizdom)
Maybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you there's a tomorrow. Maybe for you there's one thousand tomorrows, or three thousand, or ten, so much time you can bathe in it, roll around it, let it slide like coins through you fingers. So much time you can waste it.
But for some of us there's only today. And the truth is, you never really know.

MADISON (WKOW) -- A Middleton banker faces trial on child sex assault charges.
49-year old Michael Daniel of Sun Prairie waived his right to a preliminary hearing Monday. A court commissioner entered a not guilty plea for him.
Authorities say Daniel sexually touched one of his children's thirteen year old friends last month, and forced the girl to sexually touch him.
Daniel and his attorney Ian Pitz both declined comment to 27 News Monday.
Daniel's bail conditions bar him from contact with the victim.
A court commissioner Monday stated Daniel could attend the upcoming, school graduation of one of his children, as long as Daniel made no contact with the victim.
Daniel's looming trial is on two felony charges of second degree sexual assault of a child under the age of sixteen.
Daniel is listed as a business banker with Starion Bank.

Game App "Draw Something"
Game App "Draw Something"
For the Gamers in our society you will be hooked on this new drawing app which has taken off and could as successful as "Angry Birds".
Draw Something is a mobile app developed by Omgpop. It was one of the apps which won the Flurry App Spotlight Awards in 2012. In the first five weeks after its launching, the game was downloaded 20 million times. Fifty days after its release, it had been downloaded 50 million times. In March of 2012, both Draw Something and Omgpop were bought by the game giant Zynga for $180 million. In April 2012, there was a notable drop in users and Zynga's stock price declined by 50% shortly after the purchase.

This article titled "Draw Something reinvents Pictionary for the mobile" was written by Dominic Rushe in New York, for The Guardian on Friday 23rd March 2012 20.26 UTC
Hunched over their iPhones in a bar waiting for friends, fingers tracing patterns on the screen; laughing as they stare at their HTCs on the bus – have you noticed something strange going on with people and their mobile phones recently?
There's a simple explanation: they are playing a game, Draw Something, a sort of online Pictionary that has been downloaded 35m times in the six weeks since it was created by New York game firm OMGPOP. In the last week more than 1bn drawings were created on the game as people tried to illustrate words and names for their opponent to guess. It's now the top downloaded free app in 85 countries across the world.
Draw Something is the latest classic board game to be reinvented for the digital age. Words With Friends is the new Scrabble, Monopoly is a hit online. But none has rivalled the phenomenal growth of Draw. The game has been a winner from day one – it was averaging three drawings a second the day it was launched – and six weeks later the five-year-old OMGPOP has been sold for $180m (£113m) in cash to Zynga, owner of other highly addictive online games including Words With Friends and CityVille.
Draw Something was the 35th game created by OMGPOP. They had tried other drawing games but this one was an instant smash. Some words are easy for players to portray – like rainbow, sun and fish. But finger painting Daft Punk or Stephen Colbert with primary school drawing skills is more than a tad tricky.
The game has slight variations across the world. In London you might get "snog" – a word Americans don't use – while in Europe there is no chance of getting Tim Tebow, a star football player across the Atlantic. For Swedish players OMGPOP added Ikea. But what attracted Zynga was its universal appeal.
David Ko, chief mobile officer at Zynga, had been a player from day one. "There were all these really nice, surprise moments," said Ko. "The words, watching the drawings, I was really enjoying it."
Ko admits his drawing isn't that good. In the beginning he even scribbled notes in the drawing, which is pretty close to cheating. "I'm OK with chair and ring, then they'll slip in some pop icon."
He met up with Dan Porter, OMGPOP's chief executive, and the two hit it off immediately. They both had "hundreds" of apps on their phones and Ko thought Porter and his crew would be a good buy for Zynga.
It is not Zynga's first purchase – but it is the biggest. The firm handed over $53.3m for Words With Friends creator Newtoy in 2010. But with Draw Something it reportedly had to fend off rival bids from Disney and games giant Electronic Arts.
More than 1bn apps are downloaded every month on Apple devices and another billion on Android, Google's rival mobile system. To stand out, you need something special. Ko says that difference is "social" apps. "People are busy. They want quick ways to say hi, to keep in touch.
"And there is no better way to do that than through games. Maybe you don't have time to call but if you are playing a game together, to me it feels more social.
"I have lots of friends I keep in touch with on Facebook but when I do this one to one thing with Draw Something or Words With Friends, it feels a little bit more special." Clearly 35m other people and counting agree. But opinion is divided over whether Draw Something can really be worth $180m.
Michael Pachter, managing director of Wedbush Securities, described the price as "reasonable". "It doesn't require a lot of work to make it popular in several languages, and is the kind of game that will give their international growth a boost," he said.
Arvind Bhatia, managing director of Sterne Agee & Leach, disagreed. Most people choose the free version of the game, he said, and Zynga will have to convince them to spend money buying extras like new colours and drawing tools, and Bhatia is unconvinced that is a big business. On top of that, he says, being this month's hot game is no guarantee of long-term success. "You can have the bragging rights to the number one game, but for how long? And it's not that easy to make money on the games," he said.
There were mixed signals for the Draw Something school on Friday when the game lost the top slot for paid apps to the latest flight of fancy from that other mobile gaming phenomenon, Angry Birds. The free version of Draw Something still rules the free charts and Ko is promising that under Zynga's wing Draw will add new features (chat, probably, and maybe a gallery to store your images) and different games that will keep the world coming back.
It remains to be seen whether Draw can repeat Angry Birds' success. But if it does not there will soon be another game along that will have us hooked.

In January 2013, social media giant Facebook introduced a new feature called Graph Search. Unlike typical web searches, Graph Search looks only at Facebook data, accessing the plethora of information submitted by their users every day. Basically, Facebook has taken all of the personal data that people have shared, and created the mother of all searchable databases.What does that mean for Facebook users?
Essentially, if you're on Facebook, you should check your security settings to make sure that you haven't "liked" something silly, perhaps as a joke, that could come back to haunt you if someone were to search for it.
Say, for instance, that you left your Facebook account open while partying at a friend's house. While you were in the bathroom (definitely not throwing up), perhaps one of your prankster friends decided to "like" a few pages on your behalf. Maybe you find that you're now a fan of "Kicking Puppies" or "Not Washing Your Hands After Using The Toilet," but you don't notice right away.
Don't laugh, this has happened. Not to me, though… never. *Cough*
Now that Graph Search is here, anyone who searches for "people who like kicking puppies" will see your smiling face, along with your name, location, and any other information that you've made public on Facebook. As you can imagine, this kind of searching could be problematic for a lot of people. In fact, in light of recent concerns over what constitutes a fire-able offense on Facebook, the results of Graph Search can be personally and professionally devastating.Devastating, Sure, But Also Kind Of Funny
Just days after the beta version of Graph Search became available to a small portion of Facebook users, an entrepreneurial web developer named Tom Scott noticed that the Graph Search feature had massive potential for humor... along with some embarrassment. Scott quickly created a Tumblr page and started uploading screen shots of funny, ironic searches he had made with Graph Search. The blog, called Actual Facebook Graph Searches, was an instant success, and soon media organizations came calling. The blog received over a quarter of a million hits within the first 24 hours online.What's So Funny About Graph Search?
Following in the footsteps of Damn You Autocorrect, Texts From Last Night, and Sh*t That Siri Says, Scott capitalized on a current technological trend in society. Using search terms that are, as he puts it, "amusingly contradictory," Scott manages to expose people whose own public data demonstrates their glaring hypocrisy. For example, one screen shot shows a list of people who not only support an anti-gay marriage organization, but who are also fans of openly-gay actor Neil Patrick Harris (who is not only gay, but also married with children).
Some other search results posted on Scott's blog include Jewish Mothers Who Love Bacon, Employers Whose Employees Like Racism, Spouses of Married People Who Like Ashley Madison (a match site for married people who want to cheat), and Married People Who Like Prostitutes. Funny stuff... until it happens to you.What Can You Do?
Nobody likes being the butt of a joke, and considering the potential ramifications of popping up in an unflattering search thread, all Facebook users should consider this article fair warning to check their privacy settings today. Scott, who decided to quit while he was ahead and shut down the Tumblr blog after just 24 hours online, also issued this excellent reminder before taking his leave of the Graph Search exosé: "Most of the danger online comes not from strangers making half-assed joke searches: it comes from people who know you. A lot of the public data fails what I call the 'bitter ex test': can someone who hates you ruin your life with that information?"
Don't be the butt of this joke. Learn more about updating your Facebook privacy settings here.

Are you ready for some football!! The Super Bowl is right around the corner so party planning should be in full effect! Game day parties can be fun for everyone if done right by making sure the game is accessible to all guests, keeping guests entertained and having delicious food and drink. Your party will be the talk of the football season!
Here's a few ideas to help you get started.
If you're hosting your party in your backyard or arranged a block party with neighbors consider viewing the big game on an inflatable movie screen. This is an awesome way to watch the game. The large screen allows for a larger crowd to watch the game instead of having everyone huddling around your tv inside. It's definitely a crowd pleaser and makes a real statement.
It's easy to loose sight of the theme when planning a party, so try to keep all aspects of the party in sync with your original concept. Food's always an important part of the party so be sure to carry out your theme by using team colors and getting creative with your food display.
For your guest that want a break from the game or need some entertainment during half-time try a fun activity, such as inflatable football toss game.
If you have kid guests make sure to have something to keep them entertained as well. Crafts are always a win.
We really liked this decorate your own megaphone craft idea.
We love football season and look forward to partying on Super Bowl Sunday! We hope your party is a winning success and you have a blast planning for the big game this year!
