|I am in the planning stages of my garden. Last year my aunt recommended planting radishes in between my zucchini, as this would help ward off some kind of bug? I can't remember what she said exactly.
SO, now I'm wondering if there are certain vegetables that do well planted near eachother? OR if she's nuts? LOL!!!

|I plant radishes with almost everything. They germinate quickly and mark the rows (so I don't till where I shouldn't). Radish blooms, you'll need to let some of them go to seed, is supposed to help keep away squash bugs.
Your aunt is not nuts, at least not totally nuts. This is called companion gardening. I always plant my green bean rows(yellow and purple, also) near my potato rows, I alternate them. The bean bug doesn't like potatoes and the potato bug doesn't like beans. It confuses them.
Here's a link I use. It helps me, hopefully you too.
Mum, you're only 17 hours north of me and 882 miles (can't figure kilos).

|I find companion planting really does not work well and there is no science to back this stuff up. I also find in a market garden it is far less time consuming to have one crop per bed to harvest, feed, weed, etc.. (Though we do plant radishes with carrots because the radishes space out the carrots and are finished a good 35 days before the carrots re ready)
I also don't like companion planting because it really can throw off a crop rotation plan when you start planting say brassicas and squash together.
But a good book on the subject is Carrots Love Tomatoes by Riotte
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Wed, Feb 16, 11 at 8:26
|I don't have beds, but old-fashioned wide rows. I've only seen the potato/beans work. I still plant radishes with almost everything, as markers.
- Posted by mumsofthree none (My Page) on Thu, Feb 17, 11 at 13:00
|I think it's all worth a shot:)
Marla, I LOVE the website! Even if none of the companion planting helps it definitely points me in Some kind of direction. Now that I know you live so close maybe you could come help for a few days, LOL!
Last year I had one 20 by 80 vegetable garden on our 5 acres. This year... (I'm kinda freaking out already!)... we will start converting the 2.5 acres of field into produce, perennials, and tree farm.
I plan on doing a few markets this year, but have never tried it before. I don't think I fully understand what I'm getting myself into, LOL.
I'm at stay at home mom of 3 kids, ages 5, 2 and 1... Thankfully my husband works from home as well:)
How long have you been marketing??
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Thu, Feb 17, 11 at 13:37
|I've been doing the farmers markets since 2000. I started out with about 1/4 acre, and only planted what my family would eat. My brother-in-law suggested vegetable spaghetti squash, because he liked it, so I planted it also.
First year was a real learning experience, sales totaled $1700 in a 6 month market. It started in May, and the only thing I had was some radishes and I bought some strawberry plants and sold them 6 in a hanging basket. I think I might have sold 24-36 plants. The rest of the plants that didn't sell, went into my strawberry bed. That bed lasted 7 years without much care, it survived by me letting the runners take over.
Each year, I learned more and more, and you will too, if you are stubborn enough not to quit. Your kids will learn also. My 5 grandkids are very knowledgeble in regards to plants and veggies, along with sales techniques that work for them. My youngest, age 3, doesn't come to market much, but she is a planter. She has played with the plants since she was crawling. Not that she was helping at that stage, but she has learned to treat the plants like babies, gentle.
By the time the kids were 5, they were the ones cleaning onions (they called it, making the onions 'naked'), they can plant alot of the larger seeds and pick some of the veggies. I don't allow them to have the zucchini knives until they are at least 5 with supervision. By 7, the oldest one can decide which zuke to take or wait til the next market, and cut it himself.
Just start off slow, and don't expect to make lots of money (if any) for a few years. Enjoy yourself.

|Icicle radishes only possibly prevent the cucumber beetle if they are planted early and let go to seed around the cucurbit family members.
I really love the book Great Garden Companions since it emphasizes how much companion planting has to be done to be effective- like 50-50.
I am teaching classes next month with a lot about companion planting and its shortfalls.
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Sun, Feb 20, 11 at 18:40
|I try alot of things without knowing if they work and if they work for me, then great. Sometimes things work for some people in some areas, and sometimes they don't.
I don't teach, I just do. I don't feel that I know enouh, even with 50+ years of experience.
- Posted by mumsofthree none (My Page) on Sun, Feb 20, 11 at 20:06
|What are your thoughts on NOT planting certain things together?
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Sun, Feb 20, 11 at 20:12
|According to the companion gardening info, there are certain 'foes' but I can't tell you if it's true or not. I usually just go with the info, and think 'why take the chance?'. Same with planting according to the moon, and so far this year, it's work. I planted and transplanted according to the moon, and have had good luck with everything. Usually it's just a matter of a few days.

|Legumes and alliums are classic feuds but I have never seen truth in this presumption. I put a legume cover crop in after alliums are pulled and it does great. I assume that theory started because people felt the legumes would give the alliums too much nitrogen. I still don't plant scallions in with my peas just in case but I think it is all hogwash.
I have found beets and kohlrabi don't like interplanting with anything.
I think logistics of watering, picking and so on much more important than the idea that some plants don't get along.
- Posted by boulderbelt 5/6 (My Page) on Tue, Feb 22, 11 at 5:27
|Little Minnie is so right about the logistics. If you do a 50/50 companion plant to market crop in your market garden you will not have much to sell and it will take you MUCH longer to harvest. Snd when you are looking at harvesting for 5+ hours you do not want anything that will prolong that chore.
I used to do a lot of companion planting my first 2 years and quit because it was becoming a logistical nightmare-harvest was taking too long, it was messing up our crop rotation and frankly it wasn't working all that well so we went with other pest control techniques such as row covers which work much better and make the job of farming easier.
I think companion planting is great for home gardeners who do not have to do the sell what you sow thing but do know that a market garden is not just a super big home garden. they are different on many levels and this companion planting thing is one.
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Tue, Feb 22, 11 at 8:37
|Minnie, companion gardening isn't talking about planting after each other, but with each other.
Boulderbelt, I just plant a long row of one 'friend' next to another one in long wide rows. Since I have several acres to work with, I can have the 'super large gardens' for my market garden.
Personally, I don't like to use pesticides and I've found that some of the companion gardening does work for me and my gardens.
- Posted by little_minnie (My Page) on Tue, Feb 22, 11 at 20:27
|Boulder (are you Lucy?) you are right about companions and larger operations. Much better to worry about keeping FRC on than think woody herbs will prevent cabbage moths. A 50/50 thing that could work for everyone is the bush bean and potato trick.
Marla I know what companion planting is; I was refering to the idea that alliums and legumes do not get along. Generally companion planting encompasses, almost mostly, herbs and flowers to attract or confuse insects. When you plant a crop every other row that is intercropping. I do a lot of planting of flowers and herbs that draw beneficial insects.
|I have found that keeping a large population of various birds keeps the insects at bay.I have Robins,Cardinals and Jays and Blackbirds and some Swallows ,they all nest in various places,but seem to love flying around the garden and I have rarely lost produce to them as they tend to keep the insects at bay all-though the robins love the worms. But I still have lots of worms.
Trees are essential around your property such as Pines and cedars, especially around the buildings and the west borders.
Also , a couple or two wild cats keep the rodents out which love to bite into produce and also keep the woodchu8cks away and 1 or 2 dogs help to keep the Deer at bay.

|I�ve started reading this book on companion gardening very recently and to me does make a lot of sense. http://www.amazon.com/Great-Garden-Companions-Companion-Planting-Chemical-Free/dp/0875968473/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1298279001&sr=1-1
My mom used to plant a lot of radishes with everything too, and now I think I understand why she did it.
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Wed, Feb 23, 11 at 7:28
|Mark, we also have LOTS of birds, especially the Purple Martins, they love when we start to cultivate, they fly around the tractor just to get the birds. They also enjoy us mowing and forcing the bugs into the air.
Minnie, I've evidently used the companion gardening more than I thought, until I got into this venture. It's just the way my grandfather planted things, He was born in 1897.
- Posted by mumsofthree 5 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 23, 11 at 18:28
|Thanks so much for all the thoughts and ideas everyone! :)
I will definitely try a few things. But now knowing its more of a 50/50 issue I agree it could become a pain in the butt.
We have an obscene amount of birds. Some morning its kinda creepy. There will be THOUSANDS of black birds just sitting in our backyard. Like something you'd see in a horror movie. Not sure I like them.
ANOTHER question altogether, what other ideas do any of you have about keeping bad bugs away? I should probably be posting this is the organic forums... but you've all just been so helpful so far:)
Last year we lost A LOT of produce (come the middle of August), to mould. I have read using a baking soda/ water mixture as a preventative, (as well as good air circulation, and NOT watering in the evenings!)... would help? Has anyone tried this as a preventative?
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Wed, Feb 23, 11 at 19:17
|Definitely not watering in the evenings, it doesn't give the sun time enough to dry the leaves, plus if your area is like mine I get heavy dew almost every day even in the heat of summer.
Last year, around here, was very wet and alot of mould problems surfaced.
I'm very lucky, the bad bugs that we have the most of are the Japanese Bettles, but I did find that they like 'smart weed'(that's what my dad called it). If I let some of smart weed grow and bloom, the beetles would stay away from my gardens. I let the weeds grow away from the garden, obviously.
I'm finding the longer I grow without pesticides, the more beneficial bugs and fewer bad bugs I have.
|Dew is caused by hot days and cooler nights-I think. It,s to bad the nuisance bugs are not drowned by the dew. The birds do not see the bugs that are in our veggie plants. If you have the time, walk down your rows after the dew has dried around noon to shake off some of the bugs, maybe the birds will get them then. I hope I did not sound stupid? Fellow grower, Mark
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Thu, Feb 24, 11 at 9:06
|I get dew almost everyday, and our birds eyes must be very good. Or maybe it's the idea of our grandkids, dog, and 4 cats running around that disturbs the bugs. Whatever it is it's working.
- Posted by mumsofthree 5 (My Page) on Thu, Feb 24, 11 at 10:39
|Mark you don't sound stupid, LOL. It's always nice to find someone speaking my kind of language ;)
The bugs weren't a problem last year. The poor tomatoes caught some kind of disease. I still have no idea what it was. The plants, (all 21 of them), looked very healthy and were covered in green tomatoes. The moment each of them started to ripen, a large brown spot would form on the tomato. We even pulled a bunch with no signs, while still green, and left them to ripen off the plant. They TOO formed the spot once red. VERY sad it was to rip out and burn all the plants:(
We lost the zucchini, cucumbers, and the one pumpkin we had for the kids.
|MUMS3 ,sounds a lot like late blight maybe?if so rotate this year far away from old spot and if late blight conditions threaten ,protect with a non-systemic fungicide, maybe chlorothalinol,manco-zeb or a copper based.
i know that we hate to use these fungicides but Late blight can hurt your whole tomato-potato crop and your frends tomatos also. mark. good luck this year!
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Thu, Feb 24, 11 at 14:57
|Yes, most of the country got late-blight, this was according to a researcher at Cornell University that spoke to the So. Illinois Conference that I attended earlier this month.
Maybe I learned more than I thought I had.
|To whom it may concern,I believe that "Legend" tomato has some resistance to late Blight. Maybe check into this . Mark.
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Thu, Feb 24, 11 at 15:58
|During the conference, the researchers were saying that there was some disease that was transmitted by buying plants grown out of your area, such as buying the plants that some of the big box stores carry (some of them buy from a cooperative in AL), therefore bringing diseases into a different area. Myself, I'll either grow mine or bring from local growers.
- Posted by mumsofthree 5 (My Page) on Thu, Feb 24, 11 at 17:33
|I looked up some pictures of late blight, and YES! That's exactly what was going on! I bought my starter plants from a woman selling around the corner from us at the end of her driveway.
After reading a bit more about it I'm happy my potatoes weren't affected as well. I had a few rows of peppers in between the two that didn't seem bothered by any mold or blight.
This year I mean war! LOL!
Thanks again for ALL your help :)
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Thu, Feb 24, 11 at 18:01
|Some seeds will carry diseases also. This year, put your tomatoes, peppers, potatoes or eggplants elsewhere, as far as you can away. Keep them staked, if possible (for ventilation). Plant them with plenty of room between the plants, also for ventilation. Never water unless the sun can dry the plant before evening, try watering the ground under the plant instead of the leaves. And pray for the best.
This is my advice, even tho I don't follow all of it. I don't get my tomatoes staked (never enough time). I usually plant several times during the season, so that if one group goes bad, I have another. Year before last, we had some blight problem in an area near a woods (not enough ventilation), but those plants were the only ones that did produce. I planted them very late, after I gave up all other planting and my kids couldn't let me throw away about 500 plants.
- Posted by mumsofthree 5 (My Page) on Thu, Feb 24, 11 at 22:35
|Do you start new seeds throughout the season? Or are they all from your original batch?
We are actually grassing last years vegetable garden this spring and starting from scratch about 200 ft away into our 2.5 acre field. I hope this is far enough away. I can't wait! :) But I will definitely do a few different gardens of a few of the veggies in case some run into "issues." This year is more of a practice run I suppose.
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Fri, Feb 25, 11 at 6:17
|No, I usually start 2-3 times early, mainly just in case 1 batch would fail. I just hold the plants in pots for as long as possible, sometimes just uppotting enough for the plants not to be terribly rootbound(to the point of producing fruit). Usually only planting 1-2 times.

Submitted by: Eric Moor on Feb 23, 2014I was very fortunate to get a pup from Abbe Lane Kennels. I picked up Luke just before Christmas of ast year and he has been a great pup so far. It only took three weeks to potty train him, and he can also fetch, he has learned the kennel command, here, no, and sit. He is a bold pup that displays no fear of others and loves to go into the fields and woods (when we don't have 4-feet of snow). Additionally, Rob and Judy are top notch people and Rob has been more than helpful after the sale. I am looking forward to seeing what this pup can do as we begin training together when the weather clears up. I think I see a second GSP from Abbe Lane in the next year, maybe Spring of 2015.
Submitted by: Frank Ilijanic on Dec 22, 2010I picked up a female pup from Rob and Judy in the spring of 07 from a litter out of Zoie and Toby. Zoya has been an absolute dream to train and hunt with. I often get complimented on her wonderful temperment and ease around new people and other dogs. Through the past seasons she has just gotten better and I often find myself shaking my head and smiling at the things that she does in the field. Rob and Judy are top notch and so are their dogs. If you are looking for a new member to the family and an amazing partner in the field than look no farther.
Submitted by: D.Lee on Jun 24, 2009To anyone looking for a GSP pup. I cannot say enough about Rob and Judy and their kennel! They took the time to explain and answer ALL of my questions and are still helping me. My pup is a boy from Toby and Zoie and he is fantastic! Give them a call you will not be disappointed.
Submitted by: Bonnie and Ken Snyder on Dec 01, 2008The number doesn't go high enough - if we could we would give them a 10!! For being not only the best but surpassing what anyone would expect from a breeder!
We have owned two of Abbe Lane GSP's, and still have the boy - recently we lost the little girl at 9 years of age. She was the smartest - most loving dog - the biggest couch potato - easiest trained - both of our Shorthairs have been the best all around dogs we have ever owned. Ali was my assistant dog - would pick up anything that was dropped and bring it/hand it to me. She learned this in only 5 minutes at 4 months of age. This included metal objects as well!
Rob and Judy have been wonderful people - are fantastic breeders producing wonderful dogs. We would not have a problem getting another puppy from them, and highly recommend them to anyone wanting a personal gun dog in their home.
If you would like to contact us: email@example.com
any time we would be happy to tell you more about how wonderful Rob and Judy and their Abbe Lane Kennels are!
Submitted by: Gregg & Cindy Farmer on Nov 24, 2007In 1999, Rob and Judy provided us the opportunity to have two sisters out of Holzstrom's Hanna Of Abbe LN and Stradivarius Maximilien. The breeding with Hanna and Max produced two of the most intense Shorthairs that we have ever had the privilage of owning and working with. Great natural instinct, good conformation, outstanding temperment and wonderful Couch Potatos. We have had Shorthairs since 1980 and couldn't have asked for more.
Rob and Judy have a great program and are very willing to help with questions and have served as a valuable source of information for us over the years. They are fine folks that have made a good contribution to the breed. We will without a doubt stay in touch.
Submitted by: Troy Hodulik on Nov 16, 2007Just a quick note for potential customers of Abbe Lane GSP's. My daughter, Hannah, handled Skye to her Junior Hunter title at the age of 7 months and has several walking Field Trial placements to her credit as well. Not bad for an 8 year old girl. In nearly 15 years of having Shorthairs as part of my family, I have not had a dog with more natural ability and trainability than I have with my GSP from Mr. and Mrs. Moerman. So far, she has been the perfect blend of drive/desire and cooperation. I can not recommend Abbe Lane Kennels enough.
Submitted by: Richard Petersen on Oct 10, 2007I found Rob thru a newspaper article and stopped to visit. As others have said, he loves his dogs. Be prepared to visit a while if you stop. Both he and Judy (wife) are wonderful folks and are breeding dogs for the right reasons.
I own two GSP's from Rob's line, both are super dogs and my only complaint is sometimes you have to wait for a year to get a pup. But you wont be disappointed.
Submitted by: Troy Hodulik on Jun 14, 2007If you are looking for a great GSP, Abbe Lane is the place. Mr. and Mrs. Moerman are fantastic people and know how to take care of their customers. At only 14 weeks old, our puppy Skye is showing traits and behaviors that are nothing short of spectacular: retrieving on land AND water; staunch points on quail and pigeons; beautiful structure; good nose; boldness; drive and desire; friendliness toward new people; and intelligence. Our family could not be happier. Above all, Mr. and Mrs. Moerman are breeders that make you feel welcome at their kennel and go the extra mile to earn their customer's trust. We will be going back to Abbe Lane for our next GSP!
Submitted by: Craig JOnes on Feb 21, 2007Five years ago I purchased my first shorthair from Rob and have been happy ever since. In 2005 My dog Zeb passed the Navhda Invitational and has done
nothing but continue to get better. Zeb might be be a once in a life time dog or just one of many great dogs Rob produces either way he is the best dog I have ever owned.It is not uncommon for Zeb to retrieve a limit of ducks in the morning and point a limit of Grouse in the after noon.
Submitted by: David Horsfield on Jan 18, 2007In 1999 we sold our house in Ann Arbor, Mich.,built a house in Presque Isle,Mich.& moved in early 2000.
In 2001 we met another couple, Tim & Sue Eyth who had just retired from a veterinary practice in WestBranch, Mich.& moved to Presque Isle.A few days later we were invited to their house where we met our first G.S.P,"Raisin",who came from Abbe Lane, what a wonderful, well behaved house pet.
As we got to know Tim & Sue we would baby sit for Raisin when they could not take her out of town with them.We became very attached to such a beautiful,perfectly well mannered house guest,who was so gentle around our 2 year old grand daughter when she would visit us at the same time as Raisin.In the fall,after hunting with Tim & Raisin,I had never seen a dog that loved to bird hunt as much as Raisin.
Bonnie, my wife started to agitate me for another dog,our last dog,a Border collie cross had died at 12 years old just before we retired & it had devastated me.I swore we would never,ever have another dog but in a weak moment to Bonnie's agitation I relented & she was off to the races to find a Raisin duplicate.
Bonnie contacted Rob & Judy at Abbe Lane(after all,what better place to start to find a Raisin duplicate)who just happened to have a litter due.We sent a deposit,got on the list & a couple of months later we were on our way to Kalamazoo to pick up Mya.
She is a beautiful G.S.P,has taken over our house,our lives,loves people,has a wonderful personality & gets along very well with other dogs,Bonnie says she is priceless.At 4 months she was showing lots of interest in birds & trying to put the sneak on squirrels,doves & all manner of critters,now at 7 months she is pointing grouse.We believe Mya will grow into a good bird dog,hopefully as great as Raisin,she has already settled into being a wonderful house pet & she cetainly lives up to everything that Rob & Judy claim in their ads.about their dogs being well adjusted.
If you wish to get in touch with us about our experience with Rob & Judy at Abbe Lane,please feel free to e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Yikes! I don't think I've ever heard of lightening during a snow storm. We didn't hear any on the south end last night. Guess you'll have to take down that tree before the next wind storm brings it down. That's too bad. Glad no one was hurt.

Federal ID CardGoodbye driver's license, hello national ID
Legislation attached to the $82 billion military spending bill known as the REAL ID Act will require all adult U.S. citizens and legal residents to trade their state driving licenses for new, national, electronically readable federal ID cards by 2008. Passed by Congress in June of this year, the legislation needs Senate and Presidential approval before becoming law. Critics of the legislation say it poses a huge boondoggle at DMV counters as well as a sharp rise in fees.
REAL ID Act
Possession of a federal ID card will be required of all citizens in order to drive cars, travel on airplanes, open bank accounts, collect Social Security benefits and take advantage of most government services. The bill, which was subject to a mere up-or-down vote, faced little debate as it also approved funding for troops in Iraq as well as Tsunami relief funding.
The REAL ID Act has caused a furor among state governors of both parties. At a national meeting of governors, Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack said that the bill would send the cost of obtaining permission to drive a vehicle through the roof and predicted that such changes would drive the ordinary citizen crazy. The REAL ID Act requires states to verify that all applicants are American citizens or legal residents. Applicants for federal ID cards will have to provide photo ID (such as a passport), proof of U.S. residency (such as a utility bill), birth certificate and social security card. Each document will have to be verified by the originating agency for validity. Since DMV clerks would become document sleuths in charge of unmasking fraudulent papers, the bill will also require costly retraining.
Additionally, the federal ID program will eliminate current laws in some states that allow illegal immigrants to obtain driver licenses. Some states provide illegal immigrants with the opportunity to be tested for driving skills. Those who pass may be issued driving licenses and can purchase auto insurance.
Proponents of the bill say the REAL ID Act is a necessity for preventing the entry of suspected terrorists into the U.S. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that the bill, which authorizes cost-covering grants to states, will cost about $120 million between 2006 and 2010.
State DMVs will be required to verify all identification documents by checking with the respective federal agencies for each provided document (passport, social security card, birth certificate, utility bill, etc.) and will have to upgrade their computer systems in order to keep electronic copies of all source documents. The law will also require the creation of an interstate database, which will allow REAL ID information to be shared across states. Auto safety experts have long called for shared DMV databases to keep habitual drunk drivers off the road. The CBO estimates that the DMV upgrades will cost $80 million. The National Council of State Legislatures, however, set the cost at a far greater range of $500 million to $700 million.
Critics of the legislation point to the vulnerability of DMV offices to hackers and identity-theft rings. In March, thieves rammed a car through the back wall of a DMV near Las Vegas, NV and stole computer equipment holding personal information on more than 8,900 people. The information was not encrypted and could be easily accessed from the stolen computers. Vast data bases like CheckPoint and Lexis Nexis have recently been breeched by hackers as well. DMV examiners in Florida and Maryland were arrested this summer for selling fake driver's licenses. Funds are included in the bill to perform background checks on all DMV employees.
The federal ID card could be valid for up to eight years, although the feds might reduce that time period. Currently, Arizona and Colorado issue driver's licenses valid for periods of more than eight years. Those states will have to recall issued driver's licenses and reissue new national ID cards. The CBO says there will be no cost to the private sector, but they may not be considering the costs of replacing a lost birth certificate, social security card or passport.
The Federal ID card will store the cardholder's name, date of birth, sex, ID number, a digital photograph, address, and an item currently referred to as "common machine-readable technology," which the Department of Homeland Security will designate. One form of such technology currently under consideration by the Virginia DMV for their driver's licenses is a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip, which would be embedded in the license. RFID chips can hold more data than magnetic strips; however, someone with a RFID reader can collect this data from a distance without the holder of the RFID chip ever knowing. The card must also have "physical security features designed to prevent tampering, counterfeiting, or duplication of the document for fraudulent purposes." Additional features such as retinal scans or fingerprints can be added at the discretion of the Department of Homeland Security.
The REAL ID Act is set to take effect "three years after the date of the enactment," which is three years after the President signs the bill into law. This will likely be soon, meaning that sometime in 2008 all U.S. citizens and legal residents will need to turn their old driving licenses in for new federal ID cards.
Years of work to make the trip to the DMV quicker and more convenient could go down the drain with the REAL ID Act. Requirements for ID card applicants to present four identification documents and the process of verifying those documents may return the DMV to the days of long lines and frayed tempers. States are not required to comply with the REAL ID Act, but those that don't will find that their citizens and residents can no longer board airplanes, enter courthouses or even enjoy our national parks if, in fact, the bill is signed into law.

Emile Heskey
Higuain and Di Maria must support Messi – Heskey
Tags: Argentina, Sony Handycam ®
Argentina have not turned up for the World Cup yet, although when you've got Messi anything is possible.
Gonzalo Higuain has been disappointing – they've all been disappointing and they're too dependent on Messi. He can turn it on and off when he wants to, and that's what has got them to the quarter finals.
I was reading an article the other day and Maradona also said Argentina were relying on Messi too much. He said the rest had to step up to the plate and I agree.
Higuain is a fantastic goal scorer but he's not showed that so far. Angel Di Maria can turn it on and off as well. They both need to do more.
Argentina are going to miss Sergio Aguero, he can create something out of nothing with his close control, low centre of gravity and ability to turn. He could have been the player to step up to the plate.
But if Argentina can get this far without turning up there is no telling how far they can go when they do start putting in the performances we know they are capable of.
Romelu Lukaku was disappointing in the first game for Belgium but his goal against the USA proves his ability.
I think he is a powerful young player who knows where the back of the net is. He will be disappointed he's not been able to cement a place at Chelsea but saying that, wherever he has been, he's made a name for himself, the fans love him and that's because he's a goal scorer.
It is strange that Chelsea have been sending him out on loan when they've been struggling to score goals. The manager obviously doesn't see him fitting in.
Romelu showed at West Brom and then at Everton that he can play in different systems and still produce the end product.
It could be something as simple as subjectivity on Jose Mourinho's part that he doesn't see him fitting in with the way he wants to play but the fact he has never given him a chance is really strange.
Romelu's future could still be in England, he's been here two or three seasons and he probably feels he still belongs in the Premier League. But would Chelsea sell him to a direct competitor?
That might not be the case so he'll possibly be going abroad to whoever stumps up the money and wherever he thinks he can flourish.
Belgium have done a lot better than I expected. I tipped them to flop but although they haven't played much as a team they possibly have the capability to move up a gear.
Eden Hazard has not been as effective for Belgium as he is for Chelsea. But you've got to remember this is the World Cup, the pinnacle, and it is not easy.
Fellaini has not lit up the World Cup either but there is only a handful from all the teams that have.
The fact Argentina can still go to another level, and because they've got Messi, they'll get past Belgium. And when you have Messi, anything is possible.

Ends 12/31/15. 'An American Girl in Paris, Part Deux.' In the series finale, Carrie finds that life in Paris--and with Aleksandr--leaves her longing for the familiar faces of home. Meanwhile, Smith shows Samantha just how much he cares for her; Charlotte and Harry's adoption roller-coaster ride continues; and Miranda makes a tough decision to help Steve's ailing mother.
Carrie moves to Paris with Aleksandr; Samantha delivers a heartfelt speech at a benefit for breast-cancer research; Charlotte and Harry continue their quest to adopt a child; and Big meets with Charlotte, Samantha and Miranda to make a big decision.
Carrie considers a foreign concept posed by Aleksandr--and watches the life she used to know fly out the window. Meanwhile, Charlotte jumps at a chance to use her maternal instincts; Miranda admits her concerns about Aleksandr; and Samantha catches her maid in a vibrator mix-up.
Carrie avoids the cold weather with Aleksandr, but her friends don't warm up to him as easily. Meanwhile, Charlotte and her new 'baby' enjoy the spotlight despite the 'heat'; Miranda toasts her new home; and Samantha circulates a steamy video to counter a not-so-hot rumor.
Carrie is challenged by Aleksandr's preference for strong coffee--and for facing other bitter realities. Meanwhile, Charlotte runs to escape the pain of childlessness and bumps into a tiny bundle of joy; Miranda places a bid on more room for Brady's needs, at the expense of her own desires; and Samantha boldly embraces a new hairstyle.
Carrie considers whether or not the ultimate accessory for many women--a child--will match her lifestyle. Meanwhile, Charlotte is thrilled to baby-sit for Brady; Miranda feels pressured to enjoy her 'get-away' with Steve; and Samantha, outraged by a comment about her lifestyle choices, gets a second opinion.
Carrie wonders how many more old-fashioned romantic gestures from Aleksandr she can stomach. Meanwhile, Charlotte and Harry get sick from their own romantic French dinner; Miranda exchanges some important 'I don'ts' with Steve; and Samantha, romancing the notion of larger breasts, is given something more serious to swallow.
Carrie struggles to 'keep it light' after spending the night with Aleksandr (Mikhail Baryshnikov). Meanwhile, Charlotte volunteers to help others and finds herself in the dark; Miranda gives Robert elevator 'custody' after being confronted with some heavy words; and Samantha leaves Smith in the dark while she re-ignites a flame from her past.
Carrie has an unexpected rendezvous in the exotic world of art. Meanwhile, Charlotte receives some surprising news; Miranda's and Steve's worlds collide at Brady's first birthday party; and Samantha goes to great lengths to preserve her youthful appearance 'down there.'
Carrie's emotions are stirred by a visit from a more 'open-hearted' Big. Meanwhile, Charlotte pins her reproductive hopes on an acclaimed Chinese doctor; Miranda has a run-in with Steve and Robert (who patches things up nicely); and Samantha is uncomfortable with the thought of holding hands with Smith.
Carrie rekindles an old flame, and while it's definitely hot, it's just a little too heavy. Meanwhile, Charlotte enjoys the sport of dating, but only as a 'spectator'; Miranda finds sparks with Robert but is jealous of a cheerleader; and Samantha, desperate to be cool, sneaks into an exclusive pool club.
When Carrie's Manolos are stolen from a friend's party, it seems her single lifestyle also robs her of the right to complain. Charlotte deals with the loss of a garment (or two) as Harry makes himself comfortable at home; Miranda spots potential in her new neighbor, Robert; and Samantha loses a battle for restaurant rights...to a child.
Carrie considers the idea that a true 'catch' may ultimately be having a strong safety net to catch you when you fall. Charlotte has an important photo taken for the 'New York Times,' but things are not picture-perfect; Miranda hides at the thought of meeting Steve's girlfriend Debbie; and Samantha extols the merits of 'expiration dating.'
Carrie goes to a hot new club in an attempt to get over 'Post-It traumatic stress' caused by Berger. Charlotte claims that everything happens for a reason, even failed marriages; Miranda is ecstatic about fitting into her skinny jeans; and Samantha tries to dress her man in designer labels, but doesn't want him to 'label' her.
Carrie finds herself conflicted about her new relationship as Berger reveals more of his emotional limitations. Meanwhile, Charlotte has become the hot prospective daughter-in-law within the synagogue's Sister Society; Miranda is worried that the demands of her career are keeping her from Brady; and Samantha's new PR creation gets hot.

This product has been discontinued
This mascara is pretty good for your bottom lashes. The wand/brush is good for that purpose. However, I do not like it on my top lashes. If you want to get a different mascara for your bottom lashes, I'd give it a try. This won't make your bottom lashes look dramatic, but they will show up. This just wasn't dramatic enough for me. I like using my Loreal Voluminous Million (gold tube) on my top and bottom lashes. But, this DOES separate nicely, and it's good if you want more of a natural lash look. :)
I looooove this product! I have repurchased probably well over 10 times... Its so easy to build up with out looking clumpy and the brush is amazing! It is for sure my faaavorite mascara!
This mascara really didnt work for me. I bought it impulsively cause I really needed a new mascara. I read the reviews of this mascara after buying it and came to find a lot of girls experienced mascara flakes and smudges. I've never experienced this with any mascara before, but it really leaves little flakes beneath your lashline if you apply on the bottom lashes. Also doesnt stay put. If I compare my lashes at the end of the day with when I first applied it, a lot of mascara just vanished! It doest smugde in my crease though.
For this reason alone I would say: Dont Buy This!
The price is okay, average I'd say. At first it really did a good job separating, and not clumpy at all, but as I used it more often, it started to leave mascara lumps on my lashes.
So deninitely no rebuy for me!!

Awesome Mascara! It NEVER clumps and it adds really good volume, it takes a couple layers to get the right look but still a good product.
This mascara is great! I am lucky to have good lashes, it takes a pretty bad mascara for my lashes to look bad, but just one coat of this mascara gives them a natural length and volume. The lashes don;t get crusty, so you can add more coats later on if you feel and can build it to get standout, thick luscious lashes. It looks good either way. Normally I'm a 2 or 3 coat girl, if it's too natural looking, I don't really see the point of wearing it, but I was very impressed with how my lashes looked at one coat. It doesn't smudge or flake during the day. The only movement I got was when I was at the gym, and so far, I haven't found any mascara that doesn't do a little movement during my weight training. Overall, great product, great price.
New favorite mascara!!! Makes my lashes look instantly thicker and longer :) Never clumps and lasts a long time!!! I literally use this everyday for school, because it also looks very natural<3
This is the only mascara I use!! I'm young, and I like my lashes to look pretty natural and this product is great for that. Its a little thick but only if you apply a lot of it. Its plenty dark (I usually get blackest black), and it surprises me every time that it does not clump! It goes on pretty well and distributes equally along all my lashes. Love it!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Found this mascara sitting in my makeup drawer, and i had completely forgotten about it until i pulled it out and used it again!
First coat is pretty light. You do have to put on 4-5 coats to get a super thick last effect.
The good news is, it thickens and separates without clumping and is totally buildable.
If you don't want a thick lash just apply 1-2 coats.
I like it!!
This mascara is just okay. It is not very dark, it does not enhance the lashes very much, and it clumps.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This has to be by far the best mascara I have ever tried. Even after using high end products, I always come back to this one. Ever since I have started to use this mascara, I've received endless compliments on my lashes, and many thought i was using fake lashes because of how long and beautiful this product makes them look. It does NOT clump and it separates your lashes. It makes them a little fuller, but I think this is the best for those of you looking for length. One coat is perfect for a natural daily look, but you can apply more coats for a heavier look without it looking clumpy or cakey. It is drug store, so much cheaper than higher end products. It does dry out after a few months, but you shouldn't use any mascara for over 6 months anyways. And the brush is quite fat so it does take a little work to get the inner lashes, but it's well worth it (:

This time of year can be brutal for TV fans. In the next few weeks, a number of shows will be canceled to make room for fall's new kids. The sad reality is that for every The Playboy Club or Charlie's Angels sent to the TV graveyard with little to no fuss, there's a handful of beloved shows that we're not ready to part with just yet. Behold, here are the shows we're desperately hoping the execs will give one more chance.

Texas Football updates following the Longhorns' team meeting Sunday night, their first since the 31-27 Valero Alamo Bowl victory over Oregon State. Classes at UT begin on Monday.
• Mack Brown on the status of LB Jordan Hicks and QB Case McCoy: "Jordan Hicks and Case McCoy have rejoined the team. Obviously when you break team rules there's a certain amount of trust that has been broken, and that will be addressed with further discipline. That discipline will be handled within the team."
• Rising fifth-year seniors OG Thomas Ashcraft, TE Trey Graham and DT Kyle Kriegel have all either graduated or will graduate this spring and have elected to give up their remaining football eligibility to prepare for their futures.
• Texas has four newcomers joining the team as January enrollees. Junior college transfer TE Geoff Swaim (Chico, Calif. [Pleasant Valley HS/Butte (Calif.) Community College)] is joined by true freshmen LB Deoundrei Davis (Cypress, Texas [Cypress Woods HS]), OL/DE Jake Raulerson (Celina, Texas [Celina HS]) and QB Tyrone Swoopes (Whitewright, Texas [Whitewright HS]). The four have enrolled in school, will begin classes this semester and be a part of spring practices. Their joining of the program will be addressed in detail along with the rest of the signing class on National Signing Day, which will be Wednesday, Feb. 6.

Bikini-clad participants stroll along the Paddlefish Days parade route Saturday, July 28, 2012, in Madison Lake, Minn. (AP Photo/Mankato Free Press, John Cross)
MADISON LAKE, Minn. (AP) — Only an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny number of bikini-wearers turned out to strut their stuff in a southern Minnesota town.
Organizers had hoped for hundreds of women to march Saturday in what was billed as the World's Largest Bikini Parade.
But the number of bikini-wearing women — and a couple of men in bikini tops — at the Paddlefish Days Parade in Madison Lake fell far short of the world record.
The (Mankato, Minn.) Free Press reported Saturday the number appeared to be 39. Women were told they could wear shorts over their bikini bottoms once it was clear the record of 451 was unattainable.
A majority of City Council members opposed the bikini parade. Some said it was inconsistent with the festival's family-oriented nature.

Putting MySQL under your PHP/AJAX hood really gives your apps horsepower.
Written by Jan Jorgensen
If you've read my last two tips, you should by now have installed an Apache Server running PHP and a MySQL Database Server locally on your PC. Even if you haven't, you can benefit from this tip because if you have the installment on a "remote" Web server, the scripts provided here will still work. But you might have to do a little tweaking.
The topic of this Coffee with Carol is "What's new with V6R1 Security."
This webinar is presented by Carol Woodbury. During this session Carol will examine the new security features of i5/OS for V6R1. She will discuss new system values and how you might use them, as well as new user profile attributes, new auditing values, new commands and more. Carol will lend her experience and expertise to help you understand how best to take advantage of these new features.

Industrial Melanism in the Peppered Moth, Biston betularia: An Excellent Teaching Example of Darwinian Evolution in Action
- Michael E. N. Majerus
- … show all 1 hide
The case of industrial melanism in the peppered moth has been used as a teaching example of Darwinian natural selection in action for half a century. However, over the last decade, this case has come under attack from those who oppose Darwinian evolution. Here, the main elements of the case are outlined and the reasons that the peppered moth case became the most cited example of Darwinian evolution in action are described. Four categories of criticism of the case are then evaluated. Criticisms of experimental work in the 1950s that centered on lack of knowledge of the behavior and ecology of the moth, poor experimental procedure, or artificiality in experiments have been addressed in subsequent work. Some criticisms of the work are shown to be the result of lack of understanding of evolutionary genetics and ecological entomology on the part of the critics. Accusations of data fudging and scientific fraud in the case are found to be vacuous. The conclusion from this analysis of criticisms of the case is that industrial melanism in the peppered moth is still one of the clearest and most easily understood examples of Darwinian evolution in action and that it should be taught as such in biology classes.
