Some fruit and nut trees are not ideal for bare-root transplants. These trees tend to have large taproots with few feeder roots, which can be challenging to get started. That's why our experts have selected certain varieties to be grown and shipped in 4x4x10-inch pots, forming our Stark® EZ Start® System.
In this video, Elmer shares the benefits of trees grown in our Stark® EZ Start® Program. Find out more on our blog: http://www.starkbros.com/blog/an-ez-start-to-growing-trees/

Common figs are fruits that are enjoyed fresh or dried, and they are also easy to grow. Figs can be easy to harvest, too, although "When are figs ripe?" may be a question on your mind — especially if your fig trees are developing their first fruit crops. It would be disappointing to find out your […]

Despite being considered "off-season pruning", summer pruning of fruit trees has its place in the home orchard. For example, summer pruning may be necessary to repair damaged tree limbs. If a branch is broken by the wind or by a heavy load of fruit, then prune back the ragged edges, making a smooth cut that […]

When it comes to fertilizing plants and trees, the package label is a wealth of information for application rates and frequencies. Most water-soluble packaged fertilizers recommend that the first application be made around bud-break in the spring, once the ground has thawed. Subsequent applications can vary based on the growing season. Recommendations also differ depending on […]

As a fruit-tree grower, you will become familiar with the concept of thinning fruit trees. Thinning is the process of removing a selection of fruit from your trees while the fruit is still small. Now, it may seem counterintuitive to be instructed to pluck some of the newly developing fruit before it is ripe, but […]

Although there are several ways to grow fruit organically, organic fruit growers share this concept: don't expect "perfect-looking" fruit! The photo at right is of organically grown Jonathan apples. The average consumer likes "perfect-looking fruit", which is often achieved in grocery stores at the expense of flavor and nutrients, so don't let a few spots […]

Well-established mature fruit trees that are in good health tend to thrive regardless of the season. Regular care and maintenance isn't time consuming, but it truly makes a difference in the life and longevity of a fruit tree. Even though they're already established, mature fruit trees may require additional nutrients than what the native soil […]

One of the most important things you can do for new fruit trees is help them to become established in their environment. Once established, fruit trees are practically self-reliant! The first thing you can do to get your new trees off to the right start is choose the proper planting site. During the growing season, […]

Traditionally, roses are symbolic of beauty and love. Rose bushes are attractive additions to any landscape and their blooms come in a wide range of colors. Roses are often pleasantly scented, attracting bees and other wildlife. They can develop nutritious and harvest-worthy rose hips, the petals can be used to make herbal teas, and of […]

When spring finally arrives, plants and trees start to wake up, and the gardening world gets exciting! It is also the time of year to evaluate what survived the winter. One common misconception this time of year is that all trees and plants wake at the same time. When we compare dormant plants and trees […]
Trees that are shipped without soil to ensure good contact with soil in your yard. When shipped, they are about 3-4' tall with 3/8" or larger trunk diameter. When they mature, they will be one of three sizes*:
Matures to be about 8-10' tall and wide. Provides an abundance of full-size fruit.
Matures to be about 12-15' tall and wide. Gives maximum fruit yield per square foot.
Matures to be about 15-25' tall and 20' wide. A multi-purpose fruit and shade tree.
Top-grade, bare-root trees that give you a head start on growing. When shipped, they are about 4-5' tall with 5/8" or larger trunk diameter.
Trees in bottomless pots that allow some roots to be air pruned, so that a dense mass of productive, feeder roots can grow within the pot to make transplanting easier. Mature sizes vary. When shipped, they are about 1-2' tall.
Top-grade, potted trees chosen to give you a head start on growing. When shipped to you, they are about 3-4' tall.
*Tree sizes may vary by variety. See our Growing Guide for details.

Hi, I'm currently the Technical Director for AskThem. I'm also a long time open source contributor. Most prominently, I'm the original author and lead developer of Kete, a Ruby on Rails based collaboration tool.

Today as I read Avdi Grimm's Active Record Soup, I was reminded of how much the old folk story Stone Soup has had an impact on my life.
I was raised Unitarion Universalist which, as far as religions, was very free and open. Stone Soup was a mainstay of both sunday school and our youth groups at summer camp.
The story has many facets, but the idea that if we band together and make the smallest of contributions that what is seemingly impossible for the individual can be accomplished as a community has always stayed with me.

Think I will organize a tech meetup somewhere I would like to go rather than in my area. Hmm.— Walter McGinnis (@wtem) April 30, 2013
So I'm actually going to do it! I'm organizing two upcoming get togethers, which I'm tentatively calling "A Round" - short for "a round-the-world" and also "I'll buy you a round", in Venice, Italy and Tokyo, Japan during then end of October.
I'm planning on keeping them mostly freeform at this point. I'll pick a fun venue like a coffee shop or bar much in the spirit

The Government is enjoying Labour's leadership wobbles.
Deputy Prime Minister Bill English says he isn't surprised David Cunliffe has eyes for the top job.
The Labour caucus will tomorrow be asked to endorse leader David Shearer following recent speculation.
Mr English told the Farming Show Mr Cunliffe will look to curry favour with unions to boost his future prospects.
"This is a man who sees himself as pulling the strings.
"He doesn't have the numbers in the caucus so he's been able to get the rules changed to get the unions in."
Bill English says David Cunliffe may be getting ahead of himself.

The New York Knicks have yet to play the first game of the season and Carmelo Anthony is doing what he does best- hogging the spotlight.
He appears to now be making the same stand he did in Denver. Denver however foresaw the outcome and found a team to fleece Anthony to, yes, our Knicks, costing the Knicks core players and draft picks.
'Melo is simply being selfish in the same light of Dwight Howard.
Look what Howard did to his last two franchises. If I'm Steve Mills, I will watch the seasons and signs closely. If the Knicks get off to a poor start, Carmelo will not take the heat, he will fly the coup.
A championship team is as much built on commitment as it is to talent. To me this is a spoiled boy crying out for attention.
He should take a lesson from LeBron James, talk about the team, the season and winning only. Now if Mills and James Dolan had the guts, they would give Anthony a drop dead date prior to season's end, to either re-up or move him.
The fact his Anthony has two years remaining on his current contract but can opt out of the final season, worth $23.3 million. If he decides to opt out, Carmelo can make more money if he re-signs with the Knicks instead of another team. If 'Melo decides to opt out of his contract and re-sign with the Knicks, he can sign a contract worth $129,135,806.
Now if he signs with another team, the maximum he can earn is $95,897,372 over four years. So the 30 million dollar question is, why would he even consider to leave New York?
Because he wants to be suited? Isn't being loved and adored, the apple of the Big Apple enough?
Where would he go? Los Angeles? Did you hear that Mike D'Antoni?
With Howard gone and Metta World Peace in New York, with Steve Nash at the end of his career and Kobe Bryant coming off a serious injury, he would put himself in a rebuilding position.
As a writer and fan I feel let down, his timing is just wrong, selfish.
ESPN published:
,"I want to be a free agent," Anthony told the New York Observer. "I think everybody in the NBA dreams to be a free agent at least one time in their career. It's like you have an evaluation period, you know. It's like if I'm in the gym and I have all the coaches, all the owners, all the GMs come into the gym and just evaluate everything I do. So yes, I want that experience."
Carmelo you had that then when the Knicks handed over half their team and gave you the key to New York. Now is your turn to earn your money and fan support and say, I'm staying in New York to win a championship and that's final.
"I came to New York for a reason," he said. "I've been with you all my life, almost to a fault. I wanted to come here and take on the pressures of playing in New York. So one thing I would tell my fans: If you haven't heard it from me, then it ain't true."(ESPN)
Knicks president and general manager Steve Mills said late last month that New York has "every intention" of keeping Anthony beyond this season. This is the reason he was hired and Glen Grunwald was removed. Grunwald was just too mid-western for a street guy like Anthony.
The Knicks can begin negotiations with Carmelo on an extension in February of 2014. But if Anthony decides to opt out, New York will likely have plenty of competition for his services.
ESPN.com reported over the summer that the Lakers would target Anthony and James in the summer of 2014 if both stars decide to explore free agency.
This tells you LeBron is in the same position, yet he speaks only of improving his game during the offseason and leading the Miami Heat to a third consecutive championship.
'Melo needs to take a lesson from LeBron- just shut up, play ball and win.

Twice I saw a glimpse of heaven in separate dreams.

There were small cottages on empty streets; there love did enfold.

Building safer houses in Ecuador. Research on capuchin monkeys in Costa Rica. Helping empower girls in The Gambia. And this is just the beginning for the Johnson Scholars Program.
On Aug. 5, 1949, a magnitude-6.8 earthquake struck near Ambato, Ecuador, resulting in more than 5,000 casualties and leaving many thousands more homeless. In the rural town of Pelileo, 12 miles outside Ambato, almost no homes were left standing.
In the intervening years, construction of rural homes has not improved significantly. "Houses generally in rural Ecuador are self-built, which has unfortunately opened the floodgates to unstable and unsafe homes," says Erik McAdams '14, a civil engineering major who spent last summer traveling to rural areas in Ecuador to analyze construction. Because Ecuador is positioned on the ridge of two tectonic plates, he says, quakes are inevitable, so this problem isn't going away.
McAdams is one of seven Johnson Leadership Fellows who pursued independent research or internships last year, funded by a stipend from the Johnson Scholars Program. McAdams brought his work back home with him: To study structural integrity and pinpoint weaknesses in materials, he hauled concrete and rebar back to Santa Clara for lab testing. The research will, he hopes, help him better understand a key root of poverty from an engineer's perspective. In turn, he will be able to offer potential design improvements to help rural residents with inadequate housing.
Named for donors Rupert and Maryellie Johnson and introduced last year, the program selects 10 exemplary incoming SCU freshmen each year and awards them full tuition, room, and board; these comprehensive merit awards are renewable annually for up to four years. After the second year, students in the program can then apply for a one-time summer stipend to fund a self-defined leadership experience, such as an internship, independent research, or cultural immersion travel.
The monkey's tail
Another member of the first cohort of Johnson Leadership Fellows is anthropology major Allison McNamara '15, who conducted her summer research project at La Suerte Biological Field Station in northeastern Costa Rica. That meant rising at 4 or 5 a.m. most days to spend hours observing the behavior of capuchin monkeys in the wild. Juvenile monkeys have a much larger repertoire of how they use their tails, using them more often for grasping and supporting their body weight. McNamara focused on the differences in tail use between juveniles and adults—a comparison that hasn't been studied extensively. "Some people conclude that monkeys have a semiprehensile tail because adults don't completely support their weight by their tails," McNamara says. In a co-written paper she hopes to submit for publication later this year, she argues that theory is incorrect. "They can do it. And they have. We've seen it and collected data on it. But it's just not as common."
The aspiring field primatologist and rain forest conservationist adds that it's important to examine these details because they allow anthropologists to better understand primate movement capabilities, interpret fossils, and understand the evolution of the primate juvenile period. McNamara also presented her research at the American Association of Physical Anthropology conference in Calgary, Canada, in April.
Starfish and service
Six weeks in The Gambia, West Africa, empowering girls and women through teaching comprised a summer project for Denise Castillo Chavez '14. Working with Starfish International, a nonprofit dedicated to educating Gambian girls with a focus of instilling service to others throughout the curriculum, Chavez led classes for girls and young women from local villages. Subjects ranged from English and mathematics to goal-setting and photography—all with the intention of providing a safe learning space where these young women will be able to give back to their home communities.
The organization hopes to build a state-of-the-art academy, eventually offering educational opportunities from preschool through graduate school. "Perhaps the biggest thing that I have taken away is knowing that I am now part of a movement—a movement grounded in everyday accomplishments, along with tremendous plans for the future," Chavez says.
As future Johnson Leadership Fellows explore similar rich and varied research opportunities, they'll join a growing and impressive roster of young scholars, with opportunities that range from genetic analysis to the Northern California Innocence Project, maybe here in the Bay Area or in Beijing. As the cohort brings academic skills to bear on their research, McAdams counsels that the work itself is only the beginning: "The nonacademic aspects of my trip were often the most challenging," he says, "but they taught me the most about myself."

It's simply not possible to design 3 relevant tanking trees as it is now, and will only be made worse by the mastery system. There are already 3 clear cut tiers of tanking, Blood for progression, then Frost, then Unholy as some sort of bastardized gimmick build. This change will let them focus on PvP/DPS/Tank balance without upsetting the other 2 while they do it. It's a VERY needed and much welcome change for most people.And it's because they're lazy. It's because they want everything to fit into their neat "mastery" system that requires no mastery of anything. Not that there's been a whole lot of complexity going on here, but is it just going to come down to clicking icons on the desktop now?
Seems like they are going to make tanking classes more similar than they are now. If they really go in thsi direction, it will definitely enable a better balance between the classes and might also open the door to more interesting content.
A welcome change.
If you wipe due to a tankdeath, and he isn't Blood, you may tell yourself with Bloodspec he would be able to survive that. Chances are, nope he wouldn't have. It's like people laughing at tanks with 2k less HP than others, thinking that this will be a realistic reason for a noticeable number of extra wipes. Just doesn't work that way.
As someone said, before ICC the trees were kinda close-ish together. They don't have to be perfect, Prot Warrior vs Prot Paladin vs Feral Druid is far from perfect either, I'd argue the 3 DK specs are much closer to each other than that.
With that being said, done is done and Blood's selfhealing is certainly the most interesting of the DKs styles to preserve, as it's the only unique one.
Looking forward my main worry is exactly that: Will they dumbify the spec completely? Are they planning for the lowest intellectual common denominator between all current tanks now, making the selfhealing useless, fluffy and/or automatic? Because that would probably drive me away from it too, I enjoy the selfhealing, the challenge it presents, the rewards it offers. And I like I said in the other threat, it's the DK's "Block", there we go with extra tanking mechanics.
-- (The Death of Rats, Terry Pratchett, Soul Music)
It will be interesting to see if they decide to make blood presence the tanking presence also now since the current system with frost beeing it might prove a little bit confusing (and already is to some people). I tank as frost myself today and like it so not 100% happy about this decision but I certainly understand the need for it.
As soon as they announced passive masteries this was going to happen, the WotN buff sealed it for blood.
This is very good news for DKs. It is very good news for everyone else who either plays with or against DKs as you can expect much better balance through the next expansion rather than the massive seesaw ride that Wrath proved to be.
Will be interesting to see the DK update later on.
I am dual specced Frost DW for heroics and Blood for raid tanking at the moment, and I can't really say one of them is my favorite - I will probably miss the mass AoE threat from glyphed HB, but I'm not angry that they chose Blood as "the tanking tree".
I suppose I agree with them in that, while it was definitly possible to tank in all three specs, min-maxing will always find one that is better than the others in particular circumstances.
@PatrikL: I doubt they'll be changing around Presences (but you never know of course).
Shield + Sword, isn't the same as having to find 2x tank weapons that have 'useful' tanking stats and a good speed to bring parry haste down to the same level as a 2H dk or a warrior etc.
2.) Parry haste: Still irrelevant.
It's being sold as a good thing for "Death Knights" whereas it's only a good thing for those already specced as Blood. It's a very bad thing for the rest of them. Contrary to some people's excessively aggressive opinions, I'm not a failure as a tank because I'm Frost.
What I want to know is this: What's going to happen to Holy priests? Disc is clearly superior, right? Why do they need two healing trees?
Sure the 3 specs are not 100% balanced in between, but if your Blood tank argument is to hold up anywhere, then why oh why even have more than one single tank class, there is ALWAYS going to be the better one, and since it is of such grave important that you choose the very best one for the job, then I ask you this, WHY ever even tank as a Death knight?.
At the end of the day we could just bring the thinking of Vanilla back.
DPS: Mage, Rouge, Warlock, Hunter
Healer: Shaman, Druid, Paladin, Priest
Tank: Warrior
And then place the Death Knight in one of those rows, heck it would be easier to balance, it would limit our need to actually "Think", the road is already paved for us.
All that said, I am very disappointed in this direction, I had hoped that they would allow for more diversity in other classes as well... But I understand the complications of it in a time where resources has become limited and on top of the mastery/talent system which they will get wrong countless times before any chance of getting it right, EVEN with role centric tress...
But I guess that is me for liking the Skill system of E.g. EVE more than any other MMO system I know of, the only flaw in that system is that it is theoretically "Capable", meaning at some point you would have theoretically All skills at max...
And before you say "Then go play EVE", keep in mind I only used there skill system as a reference, the rest mostly sux in that game.
In the end, as more and more disappointing stuff is revealed, and I have yet to hear about any what so ever interesting stuff about the next expansion, then it might just be the final push needed for leaving Wow.
This doesn't really affect me personally but I can bet there's going to be a lot of Blood dps or Frost tanks that aren't very disappointed. When I do tank I preferred going Frost over Blood but it didn't happen often. I know some people that love playing Blood dps and wouldn't think of doing anything else.
Then still while there aren't 2h tank weapon, 2h's are beter budgeted to fit a tank as already has been in the past (feral druids) and 2hands still have more stamina combined then 2x 1handers.
Those who geared for dw tanking can't admit that it was easier and didn't came with a stamina turn in and then i'm not even talking about the heavy talent point investment mandatory to make dw viable.
It isn't only a good thing for just blood, please read or re-read the entire post, as you have to look at the entire picture. Due to turning it towards one tank tree it can be balanced beter and dps talents which are currently useless for us, will make us trade in talents we don't use for things as an AP debuff. Which if i'm not mistaken has been asked for for some time.
It will also reduce the 'impression' of dk's being a subpar tank due to not having a tank tree and will most likely overal be a buff to DK tanks in general.
And last but not least it will most likely stop the rollercoaster balance between tank specs and dps specs where one had to be nerfed and the other sadly got nerfed with it aswel.
The flip side of the coin would also be that dw dps would be completely removed, which currently is still a more played spec then dw tank.
Then you also have to count in that they told us, plate dpsers with some minor modifications can still tank instances just not raids.
The comparison between disc and holy and frost and blood tank is just odd, as disc and holy are 2 healing specs but both with their own healing purpose in a raid. Raid vs tank healing.
While one can argue that frost is a bit beter on aoe packs i've yet to experiece any major difference or between or issues while aoe tanking as blood, as for single target tanking, zero difference in survivability, as for raid utility blood has more then frost. (raid heal, ap buff, single dps buff)
Also i browsed over this thread and haven't seen anyone tell you it's 'fail' to be a frost tank, it's okay to dislike change but this isn't a bad thing at all for DK tanks.
As long as the developers have a concrete plan in mind, I would be happy. WotLK seemed like a bunch of ideas tossed around the water cooler. Mostly novel ideas poorly thought out. Hence the constant changes to the trees... mostly the Frost tree.
I tank Blood now mostly because I had to. Frost was gutted for a while, thus I had to move on or risk being side-lined. Never really went back to it even though I started out as Frost on XP day. Call it a bad divorce that makes me once bitten, twice shy. At this juncture, it's all about stamina anyways. Whichever tree affords the most stamina is the tanking tree. That would be Blood. Got nothing against Frost, but I'm sick of being gutted and that tree is always prime for being gutted.
Now given some time to digest the information, I suppose it's not quite so horrible that Blood has been chosen as the tank tree. I'll hold back on declaring Death Knight tanking "Ruined FOREVER" until the full scope of the changes have been released, which will be tomorrow. I'm still going to maintain a large amount of skepticism about it all, and I'm expecting blood to get a complete overhaul which is despertately needs as a tanking tree. If it were not for the fact that most tanks use blood simply because it has more health and more recently a useful buff to Will of the Necropolis.... well, things could've been quite different. What if frost was built as a 2h tree, with more health? Wasn't it originally planned as the tanking tree anyhow? I suppose it came down to choosing between a more traditional tanking spec (frost) and something rather unique (blood), and the idea of a unique tanking tree seems to be the only sensible reason.
But yes, Blood needs an overhaul. The tanking skills are split between all three trees, cumulating some of Frost's benefits which it currently has will help out Blood immensely. Those being some extra mitagation, though it should be expected that Blood Presence to become the new tanking presence as well. But Blood is currently built as a DPS tree if anything else. Dark Conviction, Bloody Vengeance, Abomination's Might, Blood Gorged (this last one is important, the tree's "passive" damage bonus condition should probably still be there but attached to something else). All DPS talents, and most aren't that useful for tanking (Abom's might seems to be the only one which really helps tanks, low-ish crit rate and constantly fluctuating health limits the usefulness of many of those talents). The lacking AoE damage/threat is also very well known. It's one of the reasons Frost is so useful & superior for tanking anything outside of raid bosses (which seems to be the only area Blood has ANY advantage in for tanking right now). Another key issue, which may be my playstyle preferrence more than anything, is the fact Blood is not that fun to play. The very idea of spamming Heart Strike is just not fun, no "oomph" to it and no variance. Frost tanking has the option to mix things up a bit. A lot of things need to be addressed, but assuming they are.... things might not be so bad. With healing not being a matter of getting up so quickly in Cata, Blood makes some more sense. Vampiric Blood becomes more valuable as a cooldown, and the steady stream of self-healing will be nice as well.
Just to speculate a bit, there is a fairly quick (or at least clear) solution to the lacking AoE threat for Blood. Quite simply, a new AoE spell named Blood Nova. Taken directly from the Deathbringer Saurfang encounter, it's actually very similiar functionally to Howling Blast. Both require a target, which gets hit by it and everything around them. Assuming that Blood will get a different condition for Blood Gorged (though likely subject to a name change), like applying a disease, it makes sense for Blood Nova to apply it. Exactly how a glyphed Howling Blast works right now for Frost Tanking. A band-aid solution of sorts, or pre-planned and hinted at?
The solutions to Blood's spammy-ness.... well, I'm not sure. But they'll have to solve that somehow. If not, my DK tank will almost certainly be shelved -- permanently.
That's another reason why Frost is still a popular tank spec, it's more fun. A subjective thing as always, but it's also what keeps a lot of Prot Warriors going too. Being "the best" tank class or spec keeps some people happy, but not all. A lot of people like Frost over Blood simply because it's more fun. IF blood can be made more fun to play as a tank spec, rather than your typical meatshield with the perk of self-healing? That will probably quell a lot of the complaints. If not, don't be suprised if a LOT of DK tanks end up leaving the class. I have a prot warrior myself, about on par gear-wise as my warrior. A crossroads, choosing which to work on more with.... so these changes are rather important. Frost tanking right now is fun, blood tanking is not. Prot warriors are also fun.... whomever ends up the most fun, wins.
So all that's left to do is wait for the full announcement from Blizz, and maybe waiting until we try it out for ourselves.
He who isn't afraid to stand by his ideals...
Isn't afraid to stand alone.
With a bit of talent-tree rehashing they can keep DW tanking viable as long as the essential talents for it aren't deep into the frost tree.
Like someone noticed, given that the presence used for tanking is frost i do find it a bit surprising that blood was chosen for tanking, oh well.
Not much else i can say with the information i have at hand right now - all i can do is wait to see how the DK talent trees will look exactly. I do however understand people who have been playing blood DPS and like the straight-forwards rotation of it (and dislike DW frost burst/proc'y style or UH dot/pet style) being concerned; as well as frost tanks being concerned about how theirs snap aggro/mitigation-oriented/DW build will be "merged" into a tree that is focused more on larger health pools and more self-heals.
The core DK playstyle won't change much in the end though, it will just lose a bit of variety in favour of better development of role.
I'm very upset with this change, and tired of Blizzard being lazy. I don't rib on them often, I don't sit there and QQ. I'm quite justified in saying that they're simply giving up. I won't be able to DW Tank in Cata most likely, thus my Blog post. No more DK Tanking for me come Cata, it simply won't be fun anymore.
When WotLK came out, Frost was often misconstrued as the "Tank" spec, mostly because of Frost Presence and the fact that it was, arguably, the best Tank spec for DKs until Blizzard fixed Blood. Frost should be the tank tree come Cata, but it won't be because Blood Tanking is already balanced towards their new vision. They'll have far less work to do to make the Blood tree the "Tank" tree than Frost. Like I said, it's laziness. I love Blizzard, I really do, but there's no way that they can justify a lot of their recent choices, especially this one about DKs, as anything other than laziness.
I'm a little bummed we lose some versatility, even though they were sub-optimal I still enjoyed tinkering with specs. I might have to do a Frost or Unholy build one last time just for ICC10 this week as a final farewell
This probably needed to happen, and a LOT of people were predicting this before it got posted. The Mastery changes need a single tree to balance tanking due to the passive benefits, and this should solve the problem of swinging from Hero to Zero every patch.
This makes the DK announcement later this week a bit more interesting for sure.
People are getting way too bent out of shape about "losing my fav dps/tank spec", you have no idea how the class is going to play in Cataclysm. Within this expansion alone the DK has morphed completely from play styles. You might be sad about losing something you like now, but to say you "hate" the changes coming with out even seeing them is a bit short sighted.

Every Mother's a Working Mother
- Friday, May 02, 2008
I guess if we got disgruntled enough from lack of appreciation, we could start a Mommy Power movement (the same seeds of discontent that began the feminist movement – only in a direction away from motherhood). We could have bumper stickers that say: If Momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy
We could sue people who put us down at parties and maybe even get a special mention as a protected minority not to be discriminated against.
But that wouldn't be very mommy-like, would it? Because there's something about mommies that should be soft where others are hard, kind where others are cruel, patient where others can't wait. We may not start out that way at all, but there's absolutely nothing like motherhood to change anything about us that needs to be changed.
At least, that's how it's been on my motherhood journey. I set out to make a home, to grow a family, and to help my children reach their potential.
The most amazing thing is that while I was helping them reach theirs, God was helping me reach mine.

By Guest Author Valerie Banks
Dogs have an amazing sense of smell which often leads them into sticky situations. It is their curiosity that makes them encounter creepy crawling creatures in dark spaces and corners, which can inflict harm once disturbed. One type of creature that has been known to attack curious dogs is spiders and they are everywhere, including in places where you least expect them to be. Although there are certain spider species that are not considered to be a threat, there are some such as the brown recluse spider and the black widow that can inflict severe pain and reactions on your pet dog.
The Symptoms And Treatment Of Spider Bites On Dogs
There are common spider bite symptoms that can easily be identified on dogs, such as hives, swollen face or muzzle and redness on the wound. Dogs are no different from people and they can also suffer from the reactions caused by the toxins present in the venom of spiders. Depending on the type of spider, bitten dogs can experience vomiting, inflamed skin, breathing difficulties and even death.
The Black Widow
When your dog is bitten by a black widow, you must bring him to the vet immediately. The venom of a black widow is lethal to dogs and it can kill a small sized dog and inflict severe reactions in medium to larger sized dogs.
Symptoms – You can easily detect the symptoms of a black widow bite. Your dog can suffer extreme pain, have rigid muscles and muscle tremors which can lead to paralysis. The worst case scenario will be death.
Treatment – In order to treat black widow bites, you will have to provide your dog with breathing assistance, and muscle relaxants or medication to reduce muscle spasms. When brought to the vet, IV fluids will be given and your dog will also be confined for a while. However, it is essential that medical attention is sought right away, because delaying medical care can only lead to death.
Brown Recluse Spider
When your dog is bitten by a brown recluse spider, he will not feel the pain initially. It will often take about two to three hours before the bite and the reactions will be noticeable. Nevertheless, medical attention must be sought immediately if you are uncertain if it was a brown recluse spider that had bitten your pet.
Symptoms – Your dog's capillaries will begin to restrict within the first several minutes, then the wound area will begin to swell within two to six hours. This is the time when pain will be felt and nausea and fever sets in. A blister will then begin to form within 12 hours. If your dog is not treated within seven to 10 days, you can expect your dog to have cell damage on the wound area.
Treatment – These bite wounds will take months to heal completely, but you will have to monitor the wound regularly when black necrotic tissue forms. If this tissue falls off it can expose the muscle thus putting your dog at risk of infection. To treat a brown recluse spider bite, you have to apply an ice pack to help reduce the swelling and pain, then bring him to the vet.
Dealing With Spiders In Your Home
The only way to make your home safe for your pet and for your family is by getting rid of the spiders. Have all the cracks and holes sealed off on the walls and along the windows and doors. Make it a point to de-clutter your storage spaces and have wood piles stored away from the house. Practice proper housekeeping methods to keep all kinds of insects away too. It is also a good idea to have a pest control professional inspect your home for spiders and other pests. Have your home treated as well if there is an infestation.

Rae Dawn Chong, who co-starred with Oprah Winfrey in The Color Purple, has blasted the talk show queen, calling her "vile" and comparing her to a slave.During a recent interview with Matty P's Radio Happy Hour, Chong said Winfrey was "lovely" to her on the set of The Color Purple, but things changed after Chong made Commando.The biggest celebrity feuds"I starred in Commando. And she just wasn't having me. She's competitive. She didn't like me. She just wasn't having me," Chong said in the audio clip obtained by TMZ. The actress then attacked Winfrey's looks, invoking slave imagery. "If you look at the way [Winfrey] looks, she looks like 60 years ago she would have been a housekeeper luckily. She would have not been a house n-----; she would have been a field n-----," Chong said.Chong added that even though Winfrey has "all the power in the world ... she only wants something that is only chemical, purely impossible": to be beautiful. The actress also included a barely veiled backhanded compliment, saying, "The thing that's really great about Oprah that you can't take away from her is that she's a great brown-noser."Listen to the interview below.

Random Affiliate AD on the subject of Unibet :
Carbon reduction commitment that is previously popular as CRC energy efficiency scheme is a must follow by all companies, which were consuming more than a fixed barrier of energy levels every year. Under this scheme new rules are designed that work parallel to legislative rules for saving our environment from the danger of excessive pollutants. The main objective of this committee is to reduce the energy wastage in various factories by using finest methods of using the energy efficiently. All the companies under this scheme have to report their carbon discharges every year with certain parameters for measuring them.
Moreover, they have to pay a certain amount to the government for every ton of carbon they discharge in the air. The government retains this money and hence it is advisable for the companies to make imperative changes to limit the energy usage and carbon emissions. A performance league table is prepared on the basis of these carbon emissions and energy usage. The firm that performs well will be listed on the top and this will bring good reputation to the organization in the committee. However, no other benefits are entitled for their achievements.
Carbon reduction An Inevitable tool to increase the companys revenue
If the carbon management program is given proper attention by the companies, then they have to deposit less money to the government, as they can self improvise their methods to reduce energy consumption. They can also actively participate in carbon reduction programs in various ways. The carbon reduction barriers are fixed by the Carbon Trust Standard, an organization formed to take care of carbon emissions. One of the preventive measures in carbon reduction is CCS (carbon capture and storage) method in which all the captured carbon dioxide is collected from power stations and sent through pipes to store them safely in deep deserted oil reservoirs or saline aquifers.
CCS is aiming at reducing the global temperature, which if not given enough importance would definitely cost much more than we expect on these preventive methods. CCS is working on different methods to deploy the wastes from factories and fight against the climate changes. This committee is exclusively working on designing a perfect plan with available statistics to reduce the carbon emissions globally. We can find successful methods from all corners to help these future companies in giving outstanding performance along with great focus and special care for the environment.

Getting Some Play: Your Freedom to Play
Welcome to Getting Some Play — the spiritual successor to Sarah Warn's excellent Good Game column — where we'll take a look at the latest releases, news and developments in the world of video games.
There's been no shortage of big news in the time since the last Getting Some Play. The biggest story of all, however, has to be the historic Supreme Court decision that video games deserve First Amendment protection.
The United States Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the video game industry and retailers in Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association (formerly known as Schwarzenegger v. Entertainment Merchants Association). The full opinion can be found here. According to Justice Scalia, who wrote the opinion: "the act forbidding sale or rental of violent games to minors does not comport with the 1st Amendment."
In plain English, the decision means that video games – for the first time – are being considered a legitimate form of expression by the highest court in the United States. This is huge – not only because it means that the court is able to actually evaluate new media without getting caught up in terrible and/or stupid fallacies, but also because, hey, games are awesome, and it's time that was acknowledged.
Feeling Dishonored
Big publisher Bethesda has announced a brand spanking new game: the oddly named Dishonored. It sounds like a Call of Duty/Medal of Honor knock off, but it's reportedly light years away from the military shooter genre. It's actually a unique-looking stealth/action adventure played in first-person, and the team making the game is comprised of some very talented individuals.
Harvey Smith, the lead designer on the original Deus Ex, is involved as co-creative director along with Arkane founder Raf Colantonio. The designer of Half-Life 2's City 17, Viktor Antonov, is also lending his talents to the project.
Game Informer even put the game on its latest cover – always a sign that they smell a hit. We don't know much (and what we do know comes largely from GI itself), but the game is due out sometime next year on the PS3, 360 and PC.
Coming Attractions
We're definitely into the dog days of summer now; though, thankfully, with all of the platforms we have now, July isn't quite the dead zone it used to be.
It's been a fantastic summer (already) for downloadable games, and two upcoming games look like they'll be continuing the trend. The first is Ms. Splosion Man, the sequel to the awesome, explosive original, coming to XBLA on July 13. Later, on July 20 comes Bastion, a fantastic looking action-RPG with a seriously trippy looking world and an awesome "play-by-play" voiceover. This one is XBLA and PC.
Catherine is an adventure title coming from Atlus (a fabulous, quirky publisher), with a particularly intriguing plot with romance, sex, and two gorgeous women named Catherine/Katherine. It's due out on July 16 for both the 360 and the PS3.
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is an ultra-stylish brawler/platformer based on a particularly bizarre retelling of a Dead Sea Scrolls tale. It's out on July 26 for the 360 and PS3.
Finally, one of my personally most anticipated games of the whole month is From Dust, a stylish, downloadable "god game" that allows you to change the landscape around a primitive people so they can thrive. It looks fresh and genuinely compelling – and it's due on July 27 on the 360, PS3 and PC.
That's all for now, players. Stay tuned for more game impressions, news and new releases!

When asked what he owed his parents, Hoskins said, "Confidence. My mum used to say to me, 'If somebody doesn't like you, f––– 'em, they've got bad taste.'"

What's next, Kamala?
The stunning issue #5 cover, on sale June 2014
I have fallen in love with Ms. Marvel.
When you talk [in interviews] about the shows that have been especially important to you, you always mention Buffy, My So-Called Life, and Freaks and Geeks. Do you think there's anything to be said about the fact that these are all teen shows, or at least shows about teenagers?
Yes! I actually have this theory that I've never written up: that teenage girls and middle-aged men are the source of the best modern television. They're both emotionally labile figures going through a period of identity formation. They're angry and horny and they bridle at the dullness of social conformity. They're unnerved by the way their bodies are changing. They feel like the world is ending.
Those two iconic figures both been the central characters in a lot of the best shows—the cable masculinity dramas (The Sopranos, The Wire, Deadwood,Breaking Bad) and the shows you mention, which are less often considered key to the Golden Age of TV [in the late '90s]. But they should be, both because these shows are wonderful and because they were stealthily revolutionary, modeling all sorts of important things: They mixed comedy and drama with a free hand; they treated family and romantic drama with sophistication (rather than melodrama or sentimentality); and, just in general, they were shows that managed to be humane without being sappy. Two of them also only lasted one season, in an only-the-good-die-young sort of way, so it seems particularly important to bring them up, so they don't disappear.
Although some of this is just personal taste, and yes, for whatever reason, I've always liked smart teen stuff.
From Why Can't I Be You: Emily Nussbaum, over at Rookie. Emily Nussbaum is currently one of my top five favorite people with opinions, and I love this interview with her, especially this part, for obvious reasons.
"I think a lot about what makes a strong female character. You know, movies and TV shows, these things have influence, my own website. So I think the question of "What makes a strong female character?", often goes misinterpreted. And instead we get these two-dimensional superwomen, who maybe have one quality that's played up a lot. Like, you know, a Catwoman type, or she plays her sexuality up a lot and it's seen as power. But they're not strong characters who happen to be female, they're completely flat and they're basically cardboard characters.
The problem with this is that then people expect women to be that easy to understand, and women are mad at themselves for not being that simple. When in actuality, women are complicated. Women are multifaceted. Not because women are crazy, but because people are crazy. And women happen to be people!"
-Tavi Gevinson for TEDTalks [x]
(via charlottesweb)
I was twelve when I first met Hermione, and as a reader of books and a lover of telling people when they're wrong, I related to her immediately. Over the course of the series, Hermione only got better: more brilliant, more stubborn, more compassionate. She is the brightest witch of her age, an outspoken advocate for the rights of house elves, a casual time-traveler, and—perhaps most importantly—the only person in the whole of the Harry Potter universe who has ever bothered to read Hogwarts: A History. I love how Hermione stands by Harry to the bitter end, risking her life for the people she loves and a cause she believes in. Even now, fourteen years after first making her acquaintance, when faced with a challenge of any caliber, I look to her. 'What would Hermione do?' I ask myself, and then I try my best to do it.Hot Key Books let me talk about my favorite topic—Girls Doing Stuff—over at their blog today in connection with my novel, Vivian Versus the Apocalypse. Read it! Do it for Hermione!
Like, those dudes in suits, whatever, who cares, yeah, yeah, I am just so eagerly anticipating the glorious return of my perfect future Manson girl.
No joke, though, this television show would be one thousand percent more interesting if it was called Mad Girl.

I don't remember my favorite class in high school, but I remember that I carried around a framed picture of Taylor Hanson to put on my desk in each class.
"Fever Pitch," by Morgan Macgregor
This essay hits a little too close to home. Recently I realized that the one thing my manuscript is seriously missing is a story about all-consuming fan love, a serious component of my girlhood. But maybe there's a whole novel in the fact that, as Macgregor puts it, "some girls just want to go apeshit."
Rookie Mag's slideshow of bedroom shrines demonstrates yet again how much weirder and smarter and more wonderful teenage girls are than the rest of us. (Especially Maddie, 17: "My greatest desire is that I might meet [Stephen Fry] before either of us dies.")
It wasn't magical, it wasn't romantic; it was just the two of us, doing what we normally did, in more-expensive dresses. But when I remember all of this, it's her I remember. More than anything else about my high school years I remember the several thousand times we rode around town in her car, going to no particular destination, circling around on the highway and singing. It wasn't cinematic and it wasn't glamorous, and the two of us were the nerdiest nerds who ever nerded, and we were treated as such. But that didn't stop us from having fun. That's the other lesson: there is goodness in all of this, too. Beneath the hideous disappointments, behind all the shattered hype, there's always some kind of goodness. It just never looks like what you expect.I wish Sady Doyle and Rookie had been around on my first day of high school, eleven years ago. Especially because I had just gotten a really cool haircut based off of Colleen from the first season of Survivor, and the realization that it did not look very good was gradual but devastating.
