OCA's Honey Bee Health Resource Page
Bees pollinate a significant majority of the world's food. Of the 100 crop species that provide 90% of the world's food, over 70 are pollinated by bees. In North America alone, honey bees pollinate nearly 95 kinds of fruits, including almonds, avocados, cranberries and apples.

Buzz About Bees: Bees Are Amazing!
Bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate.
The mysterious disappearance of honeybee populations around the world since 2006 is called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). Bee colonies affected by CCD can appear healthy prior to collapse. But suddenly the adult bees disappear from the colonies, leaving behind a box full of honey, pollen, capped brood (developing larvae), a queen, and maybe a few worker bees. Dead adult bees are often found some distance away from the hive. Since 2007, USDA data shows that 21 to 33 percent of honey bee colonies are dying each winter, and that there has been a marked increase in summer mortality when bees should be thriving. Previously , beekeepers would anticipate losing less than 10 percent of their bees each year.
The likely culprit: Pesticides
Shortly after the EPA approved the use of neonicotinoid insecticides, or "neonics," bee colonies began disappearing in the U.S. The insecticides weaken a bee's immune system. Forager bees bring pesticide-laden pollen and nectar back to the hive, and six months later the bees fall prey to natural bee infections. Many pathogens, such as Varroa mites, Nosema, and viral, fungal and bacterial infections, are found in large amounts in honey bee hives on the verge of collapse. Neonics also act as a nerve poison, causing disorientation and damaging the bee's homing ability, which it needs to find its way back to the hive.

GMOs and Bees
Neonicotinoids are primarily used as an insecticidal seed treatment. Over 90 percent of GMO corn and canola seed is treated with these systemic pesticides, as well as 50 percent of GMO soybean seed. Many factors likely contribute to CCD, including other toxic pesticides, such as glyphosate, the main ingredient in the herbicide Roundup.

Academic Librarians of Colorby Gwendolyn Prellwitz (staff) on Mon, Jul 15, 2013 at 11:46 am
Are you a librarian of color? Do you work in an academic library in the United States? If so, please add your voice by filling out a questionnaire for a study on the self-perceptions of professional and racial identity of academic librarians of color.
Despite an abundance of existing literature on diversity in libraries, as well as recruitment and retention initiatives of underrepresented populations in libraries, there has been little research on how academic librarians of color perceive themselves as professionals and as people of color. Our research will serve as the basis for a book chapter tentatively titled "Librarians of Color: Perceptions of Professional and Racial Identity in Academic Libraries" in the forthcoming ACRL publication Beyond the Bun: Librarian Valuing through Perception and Presentation (working title).
For this research, we want to define the term "person of color" beyond the literal color of one's skin. We are defining the term as individuals who reside in the United States who belong to minoritized racial and ethnic groups, including but not limited to: African American or African, Arab, Asian and Pacific Islander, Latino, Native American and Alaskan Native, and Multiracial.
We are seeking participants who are librarians working in an academic library setting in the United States, over the age of 18 years, who identify as persons of color.
Questionnaires will be collected online through the survey tool Qualtrics. Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed in the online research environment. To protect the confidentiality of survey respondents the collection of IP addresses will be disabled in the survey results. Participation is voluntary and participants are free to withdraw at any time, or may choose to only answer specific questions. The questionnaire consists of several open-ended questions and will take about 20-30 minutes to complete.

Research Forums at the 2013 American Library Association Annual Conferenceby Gwendolyn Prellwitz (staff) on Mon, Feb 4, 2013 at 12:06 pm
The Library Research Round Table (LRRT) will sponsor two Research Forums at the 2013 American Library Association Annual Conference in Chicago, IL (June 27-July 2). The LRRT Forums are a set of programs at the ALA Annual Conference featuring presentations of LIS research, in progress or completed, followed by discussion. One of the forums is broad in scope and one is on a more specific topic. The forums are:
Research: Data-Driven Services
Libraries collect data on usage of collections, services, and physical space. However, much of these data are not utilized to capacity. This session will feature three research papers that demonstrate how to leverage user-centered data to develop services. Audience members will learn about methods and techniques that they can use locally to answer questions in their own organizations. Attendees will be able to take away results that could be applied directly in local settings and make connections with presenters and one another to explore creative ways to respond to challenges.
Research: Creative Problem Solving
Novelty and innovation are needed to respond to many of today's challenges. Libraries and librarians require new and creative approaches to defining questions and finding answers. Three papers that demonstrate innovative inquiry will be selected by a committee for inclusion in this Forum. Attendees will discover methods and techniques that they previously were not familiar with, but can be employed in their libraries. Audience members will become cognizant of new questions or emerging ways to state and think about problems. The results presented will offer directly applicable solutions that can be adapted by attendees in their organizations.
This is an opportunity to present and discuss your research project conducted in the broad area of library and information science or in a more specialized area of the field. LRRT welcomes papers emphasizing the problems, theories, methodologies, or significance of research findings for LIS. Topics can include, but are not limited to, user studies and user behavior, electronic services, service effectiveness, organizational structure and personnel, library value determination, shared collections, collection assessment, digital libraries, archiving, preservation, and evaluation of library and information services. Both completed research and research in progress will be considered. All researchers, including practitioners from all types of libraries, library school faculty and students, and other interested individuals are encouraged to submit proposals. LRRT Members and nonmembers of LRRT are invited and welcomed to submit proposals.
The Committee will use a blind review process to select a maximum of six projects, three for each of the two forums. The selected researchers will be required to present their papers in person at the forums and to register for the conference. All expenses, including registration for the conference, travel, accommodation, etc., are the responsibility of the researchers/presenters. Criteria for selection are:
- Significance of the study to library and information science research;
- Quality and creativity of the methodology;
- Potential to fill a research gap or to build on previous LIS studies;
- Adherence to submission requirements (see below).
Please submit a two-page proposal by Monday, February 18, 2013. Late submissions will not be considered, and submissions must be limited to two pages in length. On the first page, please list your name(s), title(s), institutional affiliation(s), and contact information (telephone number, mailing address, and email address). The second page should NOT show your name or any other identifying information. Instead, it must include: 1) The title of your project, and 2) A 500-word or less abstract. The abstract must include a problem statement, problem significance, project objectives, methodology, and conclusions (or tentative conclusions for work in progress), and an indication of whether the research is in-progress or completed. Previously published research or research accepted for publication by February 18, 2013, will not be considered.
Notification of acceptance will be made by Friday, March 29, 2013. Please email submissions (with an indication of which of the two forums for which the abstract should be considered) to:

Posted Thursday, March 6th, 2014 --- 6:44 p.m.
The Harmony Elementary School principal is under investigation after teachers aides say she handled a student with unneeded force.
At the district offices, in Milton, they're trying to get to the bottom of this case and say until the investigation is over they can't really give out any details.
Josh Hookers 7-year-old son, is autistic. He says at times he has melt downs and needs to be secluded, but last month Josh got word of a melt down where the school principal, Jeanne Smith, intervened and allegedly held his son down in a corner and stood on his ankles.
"The first thing that went through my mind was how could someone do this to any child especially a special needs child...Personally, I hope that they decide that she is not fit to be around the children," says Josh Hooker.
Teacher's aides that were in the room reported the force to the District Administrator, who says he had to call police. We spoke with the officer who handled the case, and he says after interviewing the child, aides, and principal, there were no charges to file.
However, Smith was put on administrative leave with pay while the district began it's own investigation to make sure every child is safe.
"Everyone works together to ensure the safety and the educational needs of the students no matter what their abilities are."
District administrator, Tim Schigur, says staff at all Milton schools are trained every summer and throughout the year to make sure they know how to handle situations in ways that will keep the kids safe as well as keeping the teacher safe. Schigur says he wants parents to remember smith is innocent until proven guilty.
"I think that it's important that wile the investigation is still pending that people don't rush to judgment."
We spoke with Smith's son, he says she's sickened by the accusation. He says she still has students calling her from years ago thanking her for her selfless efforts. No word yet on when the districts investigation will wrap up but Schigur says Smith will remain on leave until that time.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor has revealed he partially tore a ligament in his knee, claiming it didn't slow him down much while leading the Buckeyes to the Big Ten title.
Pryor says he's hurting everywhere at the close of his sophomore season, which ends Friday in the Rose Bowl against No. 7 Oregon. But he says he's feeling sharper after two sluggish practices in Los Angeles with the eighth-ranked Buckeyes.
In an affable session with reporters Monday morning, Pryor admitted he has a partial tear in his posterior cruciate ligament, touching his left knee for emphasis, but not confirming which knee is hurt.
Ohio State hadn't mentioned a knee injury for Pryor, only acknowledging an injured ankle against New Mexico State.

Thoughts on DA Inquisition and Race-gated RomanceAs a fan of the Dragon Age Series and of Bioware (despite some recent fails), I'm going into Inquisition fully convinced that it will be awesome.Not only has the game been tailored and well developed with regards to criticisms towards Origins and DAII (FYI: I'll do a Logic's Insight on them soon), but much work has gone into making it a strong stand-alone game. The Gameplay looks thoughtful, fun, strategic and action packed; The story and setting retain the stark tone of previous games with the character's actions, both little and small, having gradual impacts on the people and places that they encounter; The main plot appears to be pretty interesting with an invasion from the Fade right in the middle of a war between Mages and Templars that's already tearing apart Thedas; The Role-elements are all strong as always with the nifty addition of horseback riding though it doesn't look like you can actually fight on horseback (minor bummer) and lastly; we have a strong cast of companions a
Death Battle: Kunoichi Battle Royale PreludeKunoichi.Capable of effective seduction and infiltration using their beauty, charm and wits; kunoichi are much harder to spot. In many ways, this makes them deadlier than their male counterparts. Especially when the target of a kunoichi is amply distracted by a woman's thighs, toned navel, or breasts.Especially the breasts. And their booties.In the world of the five shinobi villages, there are six kunoichi who embody the rising power of a new generation of said shinobi:Haruno Sakura: The Apprentice of Gokage Tsunade.A-Cup.Yamanaka Ino: Botanist and Heiress of the Yamanaka Clan.B-Cup.Hyuga Hinata: The Shy, yet determined Princess of the Hyuga Clan.D-Cup.

Logic's Insight: Rebuild of Evangelion 3.33 1/3Rebuild of Evangelion 3.33 is a movie that beautifully executes narrative suicide.How else could you take the Barrel of Miyazaki that the first two Rebuild films had set up and turn out this turd salad? Why did Hideki Anno completely change the entire premise of the series right at the halfway point? Granted, things were already going off the rails with the ending to 2.22, but no one thought that 3.33 would be such a disaster.Not in the mindscrew way of a disaster, fans have come to expect that type of material from legendary anime director Hideki Anno. But the type of disaster that could be best equated with Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. For context, let me give you a brief synopsis of the first two Rebuild films.1) The First Two Rebuild FilmsThe Rebuild movies are an updated, rewritten and retooled retelling of the classic anime, Neon Genesis Evangelion. They had the same characters, same setting, same mecha, same enemy, same plot, same story and...yeah...at first g

The design and delivery of effective engineering education to diverse cohorts of adult learners is challenging. The sheer volume and diversity of published literature relating to the scholarship of teaching and learning presents a challenge to teaching practitioners. A design and development framework that incorporates key principles from the literature can aid practitioners (particularly those new to teaching) in the effective design and delivery of technical courses. This paper presents a research-based framework that has been applied successfully to the design and delivery of a number of technical courses involving different cohorts of adult learners.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Next up for Salma Hayek is a wedding - and a baby carriage.
The 40-year-old actress is engaged to businessman Francois-Henri Pinault and is pregnant with their first child, her spokeswoman, Cari Ross, said Friday in a statement. No further details were provided.
The Mexico-born Hayek has starred in films such as "Frida," "Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over" and "After the Sunset." She is one of the executive producers of ABC's "Ugly Betty," in which she recently guest starred as a two-faced magazine editor.
Pinault is chairman and chief executive officer of the luxury goods company PPR SA, which owns high-end labels such as Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga and Stella McCartney.
Hayek received an Oscar nomination for her role in 2002's "Frida."

Where do i search for apartments for rent in Lagos Nigeria?
Q: Hello, I am looking for a residential apartment to rent in Lagos, Nigeria. Can anyone help me out with a reliable real estate agency? I will also like to know the possibility of renting a commercial property in Victoria Island, Lagos. Any hint? Thank you.
A: call this number and ask him to get you an apartment in lagos 08030517166.
3 Comments
or try real estate for sale
Anyways, I'm not into property but can recommend these two agency s. They've been around since the eighties, they are well established and most of all reliable. They might cost you a little more than using the average street agent but your guaranteed your money's worth.
Hope it helps.
Lagos is quite big, you may want to limit your search by either choosing to live in Lagos Mainland or Lagos Island. I will advice you live in the mainland if you run your daily activities and business in the mainland. On the other hand, i will advice that you live in the Island if you run most of your business in the Island. This is because Lagos is quite strategic and a very busy place as such. It is possible to end up spending 2 hours in traffic for a 30 minutes journey.
It is very possible to rent a commercial property in Victoria Island depending on the purpose for which you need it. I advise that you provide your agent with every detail in order to limit the search and for you to get the best of your request in the shortest possible time. A good real estate agent will ask you some series of questions before making arrangement for viewing. I can recommend two reliable estate firms in Lagos.
1.) Apro Global Realty
2.) Jide Taiwo & Co
A good real estate agent will definitely put you through

I Love Resveratrol

This is the best priced, highest dosage of TRANS Resveratrol I have ever seen. TRANS is the only active form and the hardest to obtain. this is actually 400mg of Resveratrol but NOW doesn't even count the CIS-form. If you're going to buy Resveratrol, buy this size and this brand. Nothing else comes close.
Forget sleeping pills!

I am a 52 year old post menopausal female who has not slept through the night regularly for years. I was on the verge of asking my doctor for a sleeping pill until I started taking Now Foods natural resveratrol. I now sleep naturally and fully every night without waking except for bathroom breaks. If I wake up for anything I am now able to just roll back over and go back to sleep instead of being awake for a couple of hours wishing I was asleep. There are ALOT of other benefits I get from a full nights sleep, too many to mention in this review. I would like to tell you that the over all improvement in my life is immeasurable and that I will forever be indebted (yet again) to my sister for recommending resveratrol to me.

I have been taking this for several months and feel great. there wasn't much to say the first two months but now I can tell a difference. It has really helped me loose the layer of fat on my body. My muscles are stronger and I am able to do more. I have lost several inches in my waist. Can't prove any of this is because of the pills because I also changed my eating to vegetarian - but I feel great. Oh, I sleep better and have lots of dreams now.

Taking one a day. Colonblooding and inflamation ended within a week. After 2 months with regular medicine no result. Internal gastroscope was done. Recovering after fisical is faster. More indurance. Less or no backpain anymore. I will use it the next 70 years!

SANIBEL, Fla. - A new BP claims office is already handing out checks in Naples, but many Southwest Florida business owners are still trying to figure out the complicated process to get paid.
"Phone stopped ringing. Emailers stopped writing, and we wondering, you know, they've heard (about the oil)," said Dru Doyle, manager of Ocean's Reach Gulf Front Condominium Resort in Sanibel. Even though no oil has reached Sanibel's shores, Ocean's Reach has lost customers because of perception. The business filed its first claim with BP four weeks ago.
"Immediately I received an autoresponse that said BP would be contacting me in 3-4 days," Doyle said. She still hasn't seen a check.
After seven days with no answer she called BP, and was sent a long list of details she needed to provide.
"A lot of financial information that only a bank or an owner or management company would have access to. So it's going to be very time consuming," Doyle said.
She and other sanibel business owners met with lawyers and accountants Monday, learning more about the records and details they need to claim lost income.
Adding to the confusion: the claims process will soon be turned over to the government.
"How they process the claims, I think that's going to change," said attorney Aaron Pruss of Becker & Poliakoff. "I think they're going to be stricter requirements placed on payment."
Attorneys say business owners can't expect to just walk into that new BP claims office in Naples and get paid right away. Filers need to have a claims number already, by filing already either online or by phone.
The Sanibel-Captiva Chamber of Commerce will host another informational meeting about filing BP claims on Tuesday, June 29th at 9am at the Big Arts Center on Dunlop Road.

Many young men dream of playing in the National Hockey League. Others imagine themselves becoming rock stars.
Matt Lashoff has made both of those goals come true … sort of.
The 24-year-old defenceman is working very hard at becoming a regular defenceman in the NHL. It's something he feels in his heart is within his grasp. The 22nd overall pick in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft with the Boston Bruins spent most of this past season playing in the American Hockey League with the Toronto Marlies, but gave a good account of himself in 11 games with the Maple Leafs and feels he is on the verge of be coming a full-time NHLer.
At the same time, Lashoff has released his first album, Living On Heart, on iTunes and Amazon.com. This isn't just some run-of-the-mill home recording by a kid with a few bucks and a modicum of talent. Far from it, in fact. Lashoff gathered some of the studio musicians in the business to support him and the record really packs some punch.
For Lashoff, who grew up in East Greenbush, NY, it is all part of a natural progression in his life.
"Music has been around me my whole life; just like hockey," Lashoff said. "When I was a kid my dad played in bands and held band practice at the house so there was always a surplus of musical instruments lying around the house. My dad is a great musician, who can play everything from fiddle, to banjo, harmonica, guitar…everything. It was cool for me to grow up around that.
"My mom loved music, too. When I started playing, we had a drum kit in the basement and that's what I started on. I loved the banging and crashing and I got pretty good at it, but right when I started getting serious my cousin took the kit away for the band he was playing in. I had always played around with the guitar and my dad had shown me a few chords so at that point I started taking it seriously," Lashoff continued.
"Once I heard Stevie Ray Vaughan I locked myself in the basement and tried to learn everything he had ever done. It just kind of flourished from there and I got introduced to all kinds of musicians such as Eric Clapton and Sting at the age of 10 and 11 which was pretty cool."
For Lashoff, his life was hockey-music and music-hockey. He had a passion for both and pursed each with equal vigor.
"We had a great set-up at my house," Lashoff said. "We have a lot of land so we dug the backyard up and built a rink. If I wasn't outside playing hockey I'd be in the house playing my guitar. We never really watched TV when we were kids. When people asked me how I balanced them, it wasn't really a matter of balancing the two. It was just the way I lived. If I wasn't playing hockey I was playing guitar or listening to music. I look back and think to myself that I really didn't waste a lot of time doing stupid stuff which a lot of kids do. I was never into playing video games."
Lashoff worked hard on his guitar playing and thanks his dad for helping him take his game — his musical game, that is — to the next level.
"When I was younger I was able to play songs and my dad came downstairs one day and said, 'You've got to start singing. You want to perform these songs and want people to listen to you, right?' " Lashoff recalled. "He said I'd have a lot more fun singing the songs instead of just playing them on guitar. I just sang the songs the way they felt to me. I don't know if I realize yet that I have a good voice because I'm still working on it. I'm a guitar player first, rather than a singer, but it's definitely something I work on."
"I actually worried about how this might be perceived by people; if they thought I might be leaving hockey or was my head not in the right place as far as advancing my hockey career."
– Matt Lashoff
Lashoff is a very good singer; a rich, breathy vocalist whose passion for his work comes through in every song. You can go to his website, www.lashoff.com and hear snippets of the songs on his album.
The release of Living On Heart still seems a little surreal for Lashoff who actually recorded the songs nearly two years ago. He has never hidden his love for music and once, while playing a live gig on NESN TV in Boston, he was discovered by record producer Loren Harriet. Harriet has worked with other professional athletes such as Bernie Williams of the New York Yankees, Bronson Arroyo of the Boston Red Sox, NBA star Wayman Tisdale as well as other celebrities such as actress Megan Mullally from Will and Grace, Jay Leno and Billy Bob Thornton.
Harriet gathered some of the biggest names in the business to work with his hockey player. The backing band included the likes of veteran bassist Leland Sklar (Jackson Browne; Phil Collins; Crosby, Stills and Nash; James Taylor and Carly Simon), guitarist/keyboards David Sancious (Bruce Springsteen; Peter Gabriel; Sting and Eric Clapton); drummer Kenny Aronoff (John Mellencamp; Elton John; John Fogerty and Bob Seger) and guitarist Brent Mason (12 time winner of the American Country Music Guitarist of the Year).
"Loren said to me, 'If we're going to do this, we're going to do it right,'" Lashoff said. "He said these are the people I have lined up to play with you. It was like, 'Oh my God!' To go in and record with these people knowing you are on the bottom rung of the totem pole of musicians makes you rise to the occasion and bring your game. It's the same as playing hockey with better people; you raise the level of your game. I had my ears open all the time. I asked a whole mess of questions and I really grew as a musician. The coolest thing is I still stay in touch with the guys today. It wasn't like they came in and did the record and then disappeared."
Lashoff said it was intimidating to work with musical superstars, but it was also a valuable learning experience. He wrote most of the songs on the album and said the guys in the band allowed him to control the direction of the recording.
"When I first met them I walked into the room and they were all sitting there," he said. "It was so weird because I had to be the ringleader for some of the world's best studio musicians. They asked me what I wanted them to do. They had practised the songs, but they wanted me to tell them how to play it. I would give them direction as to what I wanted, but at a certain point you just sat back and said, 'Just play it the way you want.' They were such cool and great guys it made the process easy."
Songwriting is something Lashoff takes very seriously. Asked if he had a particular favourite song on the album, he couldn't narrow it down to one.
"I'm actually quite proud of all of them," he said. "These are songs that I have been collecting for the better part of my professional hockey career. I started writing my own songs when I was 13 and we didn't use those songs, but I can listen to the record and recall what was going on in my life at the time I wrote a particular song. Save Me is definitely a song that came out really, really good and I think it's the one song that will attract people to listen to it. It's really catchy. When I listen to the songs I listen to them as a fan as well because I can pick out parts that the guys played and I remember when they were doing it in the studio."
Although the album was only released a week ago, Lashoff is pleased with the feedback he has received.
"I can't believe this is actually out there and people are listening to it because at the end of the day I am a hockey player," he said. "That's what I do. I live and breathe the game and to be able to have people look at you in a different light and see you differently is a little nerve-wracking because you are putting yourself out there. You are putting your thoughts and feelings out there. For me the best part is to be able to share it with others and to have people tell me that they enjoy it is something I'm still trying to process."
Make no mistake about it, regardless of how his music is received, Lashoff said he remains a professional hockey player first and foremost.
"I'm a hockey player at heart," he said. "I would never, ever leave the hockey for anything. Some people, when the season is over, play golf. For me, I've always been into music and it's something I could do during the season. When hockey practice ended I could go back to my apartment and play music. I could never put hockey anywhere but No. 1.
"I actually worried about how this might be perceived by people; if they thought I might be leaving hockey or was my head not in the right place as far as advancing my hockey career. I actually thought about not doing it because of that, but I worried that I'd look back when I was older and think about having had the opportunity to do this and regret passing on it," Lashoff added.
"It's funny; I was searching for old pictures to include on my website and I found a piece of paper that I had written my goals and dreams on when I was a kid. The top one was to play in the NHL and now I am changing that to play consistently in the NHL. But another one was to make a record. It's a pretty cool experience to be able to do it. I'm taking extra pride in it because I have pretty much done all of it myself, from writing the songs to getting things together and releasing it. I have been hands-on through the whole process and I've learned a lot about the music business and about music in general."
Lashoff is in the process of planning some live shows to promote his album, but said nothing he does with his music can interfere with his training for the 2011-12 hockey season.
"I think this season was a huge step in my development," he said. "Going into this year I knew I was an NHL player. Something just clicked in my head where I felt good about my game. Getting sent down early in the year was a bit of a blow, but I handled it differently. I went down and worked on my game knowing somehow or some way I'd get my opportunity which is exactly what happened at the end of the year.
"I have grown so much and in doing that I have simplified my game without sacrificing my offensive game. I think I'm at the point where I can be a full-time NHLer and I can contribute on a nightly basis."

The Cut Throat Wins!
- s
- Sal Vanilla Feb 7, 2013 09:42 PM
I try every year to sway my hubs to thin the veggie herd, but bless his loving soul he cannot thin the sproutlings. But you faint of veggie guillotine heart, they need to be thinned to thrive. Otherwise you are wasting seen, fertilizer, water and time.
Print this off and give it to your ever so loving other OR give yourself heart to ruthlessly thin your vegetable garden seedling while le wimp is elsewhere (eyes averted).
Now that I have made way - - what have you to offer me to get the Spring juices flowing??
It's so true. You prepare the mix, plant the tiny seeds and keep evenly moist...then bam! you have all these tender seedlings. It seems so heartless to cut them down when they are just beginning their life. I always think, well, maybe I can tuck another tomato in over...here!
Since we are currently in the middle of a blizzard, I have been perusing the garden catalogs. Rose porn, daylily porn, bulb porn and veggie porn and daydreaming of May. Ahh. There is no garden like your dream garden.
re: Jerseygirl111
Rose porn. Snicker. I do peony and rose porn as well. Every year I plan a spot to clear for my dream rose (it is different every year) from here: http://www.heirloomroses.com/
get the drool cup out before going there.
Stay safe during the bliz.
re: Sal Vanilla
Not many looking at the garden stuff yet, only us zealots.
BTW, you were correct about those roses. Yowza!
A few years ago, nine actually, I was crazy into roses. Then, I got a job and they got neglected. Now I only have a few still hanging in there. I have 2 Scentimentals, a Queen Elizabeth, a Jadis, an Iceberg and a Comte de Chambord. When I say hanging in there, I mean I am lucky if I get a couple roses all year from each. I really need to get outside this year and work on the yard besides the veggie garden.
re: Jerseygirl111
How I handle this issue depends on the crop. With many of my plants I go full Herbert Spencer (i.e. "survial of the fittest") in my acts, tossing in excess seed and basically letting the plants fight it out amoungst themselves. Usually I only intervene when a clear winner has emerged (i.e. THEN I'll yank out the losers) or grant a reprieve in cases of a total failure elsewhere (i.e. if one tomato pot has actualy had NO plants survive, I may take some "also rans" from another pot and transplant them into the space.
Probably the place where I am most agressive is the small beans. Each year as a part of a breeding experiment I am doing, I plant a qunatity of a small type of Asian bean, called a rice bean. Since the mixture I use is made up of whatever seeds from the previos year or years looked interesting to me, it is very genetically diverse and has both pole (climbing) plants and bush (upright) plants in it. I know from experiance that 1. the bush plants will flower and set pods, the pole will not) and 2. the pole outnumber the bush sometihng like 10-1 and 3. the pole outgrow the bush by a lot, and if left on thier own will strangle them. So what happens is that for the first four to eight weeks or so I am very careful to leave all the little plants in place (only removing those that have obviosly died) then I go literally pull crazy. Each day I go out and scrutinize the plants. If any show signs of becoming a pole type (elogating into a vine or beginning to climb) out it comes! ocassionally I will do a second thinning come flowering time, once about 10-20% of the plants flower, the rest are assumed not to be suitable for the climate and are also removed though this is onkly usually done if the amounts left after pull #1 are still large, which they rarely are (out of something like 2-300 seeds that went in last year I think two plants made it all the wat to pods and those didn't actually give me any seeds in the end (animals chewed the stems apart before the pods were mature.)
re: jumpingmonk
I like your referring to your methods as granting reprieves. Lexicon of the vegexecutioner.
re: jumpingmonk
Why are you planting the pole beans if you just rip them out? And if you rip them out, how do they go to seed? I'm confused. Are you attempting to breed a bush-type rice bean?
re: Jerseygirl111
I have a compte de Chambord on the side of my house. It is withering under the shade of a crazy azalea and an ugly ash tree my husband won't remove. The flower is so gorgeous, but I only get 3 or 4 big, full blooms and a few small ones. Also have an iceberg. I should take a pic of it for you to make you feel better. I have moved it twice trying to please it and it still refuses to thrive. I bought a bare root Sally Holmes climber when I bought the Iceberg - and I cannot cut it enough. People drive by our house and take pictures of it. Fabulous.
I can't wait until Spring.
Planting seeds for broc. romanesco, lettuce, cauliflower and cabbage today. I was told yesterday that if you tie the outer leaves around the cauli, the head will be tight. I am going to try it.
re: Sal Vanilla
Hmm. I always heard Icebergs were easy to grow and vigorous. Thought the failure to thrive was my fault, well the neglect part definitely is. Would love to see your Sally H. What zone are you?
I just read that people are recycling their K-Cups as seed starter cups. There is already a small hole in the bottom for drainage. And you can throw the grinds in the garden. Great idea.
I always feel terrible after thinning the seedlings, and I have to work my way up to it every time. Poor little plants.
Since my yard (yay! I finally have a yard to plant things! No more porch container garden for me!) is currently under about three feet of snow, I'm planning out what's going to go in my herb garden, attempting to narrow down the vegetables I want to grow, and picking out flower seeds for my window boxes.
re: zitronenmadchen
My husband is incapable of thinning. He gets depressed if he even detects I have done it. I usually try to wake before him, slip out and thin, toss the greens into the salad bin and munch down all other evidence.
This past year (that is when I started sneaking) hubs declared " See? You don't need to thin when you plant judiciously." I wanted to bonk him, but I just smiled.
re: Cherylptw
My husband thinks he does your last sentence with the carrots (he sows them). I snip their little cute frilly tops right off at the dirt and he never knws the diff! : ))
re: Sal Vanilla
Lol! My bf is only in charge of tilling and making rows; I do the planting and sometimes even he doesnt know what's out there because he's on the "thin" side of the room...
I am not good about thinning but I plant in raised beds and try to space right for that. And sometimes I can eat the thinnings. I mixed some garlic in with my favas and vice versa. I already pulled the favas, but I"m going to wait to pull the garlic until they are big enough to eat.
Over the years I have learned to resist the urge to start too many seeds. I do this mainly through using smaller and smaller "starting" trays - usually those plastic strawberry containers from the grocery store - so I only have 8-10 seedling to repot in the first place. A few get squished during transplant and then I'm down to a couple plants for my garden, and a couple for friends who forgot to start seeds.
Thinning directly-seeded plants has been even easier because my three-year-old's favorite game turns out to be "is this ripe?" and he eats a lot of the young leafy plants.
re: gimlis1mum
Love kids in the garden, they are SO curious. My 3 yo nephew was over today. He is obsessed with cherry tomatoes. Since I refuse to purchase them in winter, he ate his salad without (romaine and cuke only). I said to him, "In the summer we will plant many tomatoes and we will pick them and pop them in our mouths, right out in the garden." He clapped his hands, then lifted his shirt and said, "They will go right in my belly!" Lol. Mine too kid!
What do you think of the idea of not thinning *too* much in order to achieve smaller vegetables? For example, I'd rather keep our pumpkins on the smaller side, so that one could feed the three of us rather than having a leftover portion languishing in the fridge, often going moldy?
I've heard it discussed once before, it sounded like a good idea to me.
re: ursy_ten
You would be a lot better off planting a pumpkin variety with smaller fruit. Sugar aka pie pumpkins run small and have sweeter, less stringy flesh than most field pumpkins. In any case cooked pumpkin freezes well.
People trying to grow extra large pumpkins typically thin the small fruits to one per plant so that all energy goes into that single fruit.
Multistage thinning is commonly practiced in home gardens for crops like lettuce, turnips and beets that are good at a wide range of sizes. The first thinning is just sufficient to get spacing to support the smallest edible size. Then alternating plants are harvested for baby greens. Later plants are harvested to allow more space for the remaining plants to grow. You always want to allow enough space so that plants can keep growing and not become stunted because stunted vegetables are likely to have inferior quality compared to ones that have been allowed to grow at normal pace and harvested at smaller sizes.
re: Eldon Kreider
Ok, makes sense - thank you :)

text: Islamic Law Takes Hold in Syrian Opposition Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 21 Mar 2013 post a comment Portions of the Syrian opposition appear to have traded their original goal of simply toppling Bashar al-Assad and are focused instead on instituting "Islamic Law in areas that have fallen under rebel control." Proof of this was seen in a recent video in which a "veteran activist" named Wael Ibrahim, who remains focused on overthrowing Assad, "tossed aside a banner inscribed with the Muslim declaration of faith" and faced charges under Islamic Law for it. As result of this, Ibrahim was punished by 10 strokes with a metal pipe. Other evidences of this attempt to establish Islamic Law are found in the way "Islamic units are seeking to assert their authority over civilian life." This includes "imposing Islamic codes and punishments." In Aleppo, a large portion of which has been under rebel control since July, Jabhat al-Nursa has been successful in establishing Hayaa al-Sharia, or Sharia Authority. Under the Hayaa, matters as diverse as murder, marriage, kidnapping, and divorce are adjudicated. To be fair, many Syrians, including Wael Ibrahim, remain focused on freeing their country from Assad's grip. These believe their "real war" starts once Assad is toppled and the battle for control between various factions within the Syrian opposition begins.

Using satellite images and SMS to warn of forest fires in Nepal
A program that analyzes satellite data in near real time and converts information into instant messages and email alerts to track forest fires is a winner of the 2013 USAID Science and Technology Pioneer Prize competition. Offered for the first time by the USAID Office of Science and Technology, the prize recognizes excellence in the use of science and technology to solve development challenges.
Satellite imagery is fed into the new forest fire detection and monitoring system developed with support from the joint USAID and NASA Regional Visualization and Monitoring System program known as SERVIR-Global. SERVIR-Global was designed to improve capacity of decision-makers to access and use earth observation technologies. SERVIR operates through three different hubs around the world. The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) in Kathmandu partners with USAID and NASA on SERVIR-Himalaya
Working with the Nepal Department of Forests, ICIMOD helped design a system that uses satellite data to monitor and assess the damage of forest fires and then automatically sends SMS messages and emails to district forest officers and rangers so they are better abble to monitor a fire's growth and direction and alert populations when there may be a need to evacuate. The Nepal Department of Forests is also using data generated by the system to analyze forest fire patterns and better prepare for future fire seasons.

Matchbox 20 is currently in rehearsals for a North American tour that will visit a number of large yet often overlooked cities such as Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Augusta, Maine and Uncasville, Connecticut during February and March of next year. The tour will begin at Majestic Theatre San Antonio on the evening of Wednesday, January 30th.
TicketProcess.com currently has tickets to each of these Matchbox 20 concerts, as well as a bevy of tickets to the Carrie Underwood Blown Away tour, which is already going full steam and will visit several major North American cities over the next few months.
Underwood has promised her fans that the Blown Away Tour will be the biggest and best live performance ever, and the mature and established 29-year-old has experienced an incredible evolution since appearing on American Idol as a baby faced farm girl in 2005. She is now capable of selling out the largest musical venues in the world, and many of them will be visited in the very near future. TicketProcess.com has made a habit out of providing the general public with the most exclusive Carrie Underwood concert tickets for incredibly low prices.
Underwood's rise to fame in recent years has coincided with a large hiatus from Matchbox 20. The band rose to fame in late 1990s after quickly forming in Orlando and splashing on the scene with their debut album entitled Yourself or Someone Like You, which went diamond in America and platinum in several other countries. Matchbox 20 is one of a long list of bands that rose to fame toward the end of the last century only to take a large break at the beginning of this one before reuniting for a massive tour where they will perform in front of throngs of thankful fans all over North America. Matchbox 20 concert tickets have always been popular, and the upcoming tour is no exception.
Anyone in the market for Carrie Underwood tickets or Matchbox 20 tickets would be wise to pay a visit to TicketProcess.com, the undisputed online ticket exchange giant.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - About all Tiger Woods can say about the injuries to his knee and Achilles' tendon is that he is "good enough to play" in The Players Championship.
Woods says he practiced on the range Monday for the first time since the Masters. His first round of golf since he tied for fourth at Augusta National was on Tuesday at the TPC Sawgrass, though that was only nine holes.
He says his left knee and right Achilles' tendon are better, but he'll have to wait and see how it responds in his first tournament in a month. The Players Championship begins Thursday on a course where Woods has not finished better then eighth since winning 10 years ago.
