I have grown this variety for the past several years with some success. It seems to be relatively problem free. It's attracticve and, most importantly, it tastes good. I am told that it is related to Brandywine. Why does it play second fiddle to such other dark varieties such as Cherokee Purple, Black Krim, etc.? it didn't even make Carolyn Males's list of 100 Heirlooms for the Anmerican Garden! Just wondering if other growers are having problems with this variety.
P.S. It is developing fruit at the same schedule as Early Girl and Ultimate Opener. Is that a great tomato or what?? |

sc, Pruden'a Purple is not related to Brandywine. That whole story started with the blurb for that variety at Pinetree seeds where it was described as an early Brandywine, but that was meant to say that it was earlier than Brandywine and they thought the taste was about the same. Not that it was related to Brandywine genetically, but many folks took it the wrong way and I can see how they did so. No way would I compare the taste of Pruden's Purple, aka Prudence Purple as one SSE member insisted it should be spelled, with Brandywine. I'm not sure why you're comparing it to Cherokee Purple, what I call a pink/black or Black Krim, which I call a red/black. PP is just a nice dark pink and doesn't have the deeper coloration of either the pink or red blacks as I describe them. Why didn't I put it in that book? At the point where I had to make decisions about what to grow out for photograpy I had a bit over 1000 varieties I'd then grown, now well over 2000, and I had other large pink beefsteaks that I wanted to include. Heck, I had a lot more varieties I wanted to include but the subcontract to Workman, the publisher, specified X number of pages and 100 varieties and all the books in that series such as the orchid and rose books kept to those specifications. ( smile) Carolyn |
IMHO: there is entirely too much information on tomatoes out there. This website (http://store.tomatofest.com/Prudens_Purple_Tomato_Seeds_p/tf-0404.htm) said that the Pruden's Purple was developed from the Brandywine, so they must have read that information, too. I'm going to have to keep reading on this heirloom vs genetically modified thing. Man, growing tomatoes is so addictive, isn't it? |

I grew my first PP this year. I live near houston with high humidity and plenty of heat. The pp did very well for me. I usually grow celbrity's for their high production and "play" with a few heirlooms. |
That's a good question... There are only two tomatoes that I grow year after year in my garden and one of them is Brandywine. One year I did grow Pruden's Purple and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by it... but it didn't make it back the following year. Why? I'm not quite sure so I guess that it did play second fiddle to Brandywine. Like Carolyn said, maybe the taste really doesn't compare. For me, the flavor was pretty good, but just wasn't intense enough. By the way, Brandywine was only 4 or 5 days later than PP in my garden - a short wait for superior flavor. |
I am kind of with Carolyn and sylvana11 on this. PP was on my must grow list for many years but didn't make this year's cut. Just too many great varieties and just not enough space. But it's a great tomato and well worth growing at least once. I probably grew it 9 or 10 years straight...:) |

carolynp, perhaps I should e-mail Gary at Tomatofest and ask him to remove that information. Just a few weeks ago someone alerted me to the fact that Gary was equating Yasha Yugoslavian and Crnkovic Yugoslavian, two varieties that I introduced ( seeds from Yasha Crnkovic, a colleague at one time) and I e-mailed him and told him they were quite different, the former being heart shaped. He asked if I had seeds but I had no fresh ones so rounded them up from two tomato friends and sent them to him so he could see for himself. So I know he'd probably make any changes I suggested to him.Actually years ago I started to proof his tomato blurbs for him, we agreed on this, but I never finished and didn't go back and seldom look at the site these days unless someone asks me to for a specific reason. And he isn't the only one who wrongly believes that PP is genetically related to Brandywine, all b'c of that blurb that was written for PP at Pinetree Seeds. Carolyn |
I believe I have had Pruden's Purple in my tomato patch every year for at least 20 years. Brandywine, however, rarely makes the cut as, good as it is, it just has never produced enough for me to call it a favorite. So far as taste goes I'd rank Mr. Brown's, Brandywine, Pruden's Purple, German Head, Granny Cantrell, and Ponderosa Pink NK strain all in the same ballpark so far as quality is concerned but with each having a suble essense of it's own, this justifying lots of divergent opinions. Best approach might be to try them all and then grow them to the limit your space allows with the selections you favor most. |
Prudens Purple is one that I have grown repeatedly for many years, and used to be my all time favorite. For me, it has been earlier and outproduced the Brandywines, doing better in my occasional cooler conditions. At present, Earl's Faux is my favorite in taste and also does well, so I feel no need to go back and retry the other Brandywine varieties (other than Yellow Brandywine, which remains among the top yellows for me.) |

Hello folks, This is my first year growing PP. I have questions. When I prune the lower 10-12 inches of this plant of leaves and suckers - the suckers come right back within 2-3 days - even growing from below the soil. Is this a normal occurance for PP?? The plants are doing quite well and have trusses with 5-6 flowers/fruit at almost every leaf. Is this a normal occurance for PP?? Thanks. BTW - I grow in Earth**Boxes. Thanks, |

This is the best tomato we've ever grown. Had an excellent 2010 summer here in NJ. While NJ has probably the best tomatoes in the country, this was outstanding. We ordered a Cherokee Purple, but luckily they were out of it and sent the Prudence (this is what our tag stated) Purple as a replacement. The only complaint I had was that we only ordered one. |
Last year was my first to grow heirloom or OP varieties. Turned out to be a lousy year in North Texas to grow tomatoes hybrid or OP. Of the eight or ten varieties I planted, Prudence Purple performed the best with some production and decent taste. I got a few mid season fruit from four PP plants. What really impressed me was the fact that they kept on blooming and dropping the blooms in the heat while the other plants gave up the ghost and died. They kept on trying to fruit into fall, but I was feeling merciful and pulled them. I don't think they really had the opportunity to shine the way I think they could in decent weather. I'm not planting it this year, but probably will next year. Ted |

Influenza, more commonly referred to as "flu," impacts people of all ages. Influenza is a highly contagious viral infection of the nose, throat, and lungs that occurs most often in the late fall, winter, and early spring. It is a serious infection which affects more than 60 million individuals in the US every year. Common symptoms include a high fever (101ºF-102ºF) that begins suddenly, muscle/body aches, chills, tiredness, and sudden onset. Influenza frequently causes people to miss school and work but in some cases there are severe complications such as pneumonia. In the United States annually, more than 200,000 individuals are hospitalized and between 3,000-49,000 die from influenza-related complications. The best way to protect against influenza is to receive an influenza vaccination every year. CDC recommends that everyone six months of age and older receive an annual vaccination. The best time to get vaccinated is in the early fall, as soon as the vaccine is available. However, vaccination in December or even later is still beneficial because the virus that causes influenza circulates past the new year. The number of influenza cases usually peaks around February, but this peak can come earlier or later (ranging from December to May). NFID is committed to increasing public awareness of the importance of annual influenza vaccination. Learn more about influenza in adults and the vaccines to prevent it on adultvaccination.org.

At Home In Skokie
In 2006, Skokie Public Library received a grant to digitize materials documenting the development of Skokie's residential architecture.
Skokie's earliest settlers were farmers and homesteaders, and their homes were cabins and farmhouses. Skokie's first housing boom was stimulated by the development of rapid transit and good roads into Chicago in the 1920s. Land speculators bought up land and laid out subdivisions, planning apartment blocks and other multiple family housing. The population of Skokie was 763 in 1920; by 1930 it boomed to 5,007. The onset of the Great Depression brought all this hopeful activity to a halt; thousands of lots were abandoned and some were eventually used again as farmland.
After World War II, many of these titles were cleared and lot sizes were revised to provide for single family homes. This second housing boom was the definitive one for Skokie; postwar prosperity, population growth, and the rise of the automobile created incredible demand for single family housing. Once again, transportation was a factor in growth: the Edens Expressway, which opened in 1951, provided a major route to the city for burgeoning automobile traffic from the suburbs. Skokie's development as a postwar suburb is both emblematic of the rise of the suburbs in the United States and a unique history of a proudly diverse community.
This collection includes architectural drawings, blueprints, realtor's postcards, advertisements, and photographs.

Architectural Drawings
This collection consists of architectural drawings of various typical Skokie houses. These drawings typically show the front of the house as well as the interior floor plan. Some of them are labeled for the first owner of the house.
The postcards in this collection were produced and mailed by local realtors as advertisements for houses for sale in Skokie. The postcards will typically show a photograph of the house as well as a detailed realtor's listing, including number of bedrooms and baths, square footage, school district, and other details designed to attract the buyer.
This collection contains photographs of houses and subdivisions in various stages of completion.
Advertisements and Other Documents
Krenn and Dato was the preeminent developer of housing in Skokie in the 1940s and 1950s, and this collection contains advertisements published in the local newspapers as well as advertising supplements published by Krenn and Dato themselves.
This collection consists of plans for new subdivisions as well as population-density maps of Skokie.

Missouri reclaims name of top meth-maker in United States
ST. LOUIS (AP) - The state of Missouri has regained a dubious distinction – the highest number of methamphetamine lab seizures in the United States.
Missouri regained the top national spot for lab seizures in 2011 with 2,096, according to an Associated Press survey of the nation's top meth-producing states.
Missouri had been the nation's No. 1 meth-producing state every year from 2003 to 2009 until falling behind Tennessee for one year.
RELATED | The 10 states with the most meth lab busts in 2011 http://bit.ly/xINDMQ
Meth lab seizures rose nationally again in 2011, further evidence the powerfully addictive and dangerous drug is maintaining a tight grip on the nation's heartland, the survey showed.
Combined, the numbers indicate nationwide meth lab seizures rose at least 8.3 percent in 2011 compared with 2010.
The numbers even rose in Kansas, which saw 172 meth lab busts in 2011, compared to 149 the year before. The number for the entire state of Kansas was lower than that of Jefferson County, Mo., south of St. Louis, which saw 253 seizures.
Jefferson County's number was also higher than the combined number of busts in Texas, Florida and California, which saw just 219 total.
The total for Missouri lines up with preliminary numbers AP obtained this week from the Drug Enforcement Administration, whose data appeared to show meth lab seizures remained about even during the past two years. But the totals for each of the other states surveyed by AP reveal the numbers are higher than the federal data.
Experts blame the continued increase on the drug's addictiveness and the growing popularity of the meth-making shortcut known as "shake-and-bake," in which the drug is concocted quickly in a soda bottle. The method results in smaller labs, but more of them.
Clandestine meth labs are most common in the Midwest and South. U.S. users who don't make the drug themselves get it from Mexico, but experts say the drug made in homemade labs is more addictive than the often-diluted product that crosses the border.
"When they're manufacturing it locally they're making the purest form and the strongest form they can make," said Sgt. Niki Crawford of the Indiana State Police Meth Suppression Team.
Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Tim Hull attributed the state's consistently high seizure rate to law enforcement agencies' focus on addressing the meth problem.
Police in many Missouri counties stake out pharmacies and watch for "pill shoppers" who go from store to store to purchase decongestants containing pseudoephedrine, a vital meth ingredient, now that tighter state restrictions have limited how much of the product they can buy in one place at one time. Many Missouri agencies also have officers focused solely on meth.
"Is Missouri that much worse or does Missouri just take a more aggressive approach? I think Missouri law enforcement just aggressively deals with the issue," Hull said.
Indeed, Missouri and Kentucky are among a handful of high-meth states that developed their own programs to train local police to better handle meth cleanup and take the hazardous waste to container sites placed around the state.
The programs helped those states continue with busts after millions of dollars in federal funding set aside for cleanup suddenly was cut in February 2011. Many local police agencies in states without their own programs all but stopped seeking out meth labs because the local governments couldn't afford cleanup costs.
An AP analysis in August found the number of labs seized plummeted by at least a third in several key meth-producing states within six months. The federal money then was restored late last year.
"When we lost the funding Feb. 22 lab seizures fell approximately 75 percent," said Tommy Farmer, director of the Tennessee Meth Task Force. "They stayed down for the next four months."
Tennessee adopted a state container program similar to Missouri's and Kentucky's, which took effect July 1. "Then lab seizures rose 73 percent," Farmer said.
Farmer projected that if not for the loss of cleanup funds, Tennessee would have had more than 2,300 seizures last year. The state already had 200 seizures this year through Feb. 7.
At least three-quarters of meth made in the U.S. is now believed to come in small "shake-and-bake" batches due to the pseudoephedrine sales crackdowns. In some states, the figure is even higher.
"I would comfortably say 99 percent," said Mark Woodward, spokesman for the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics.
The AP's tally of the top meth states is unofficial because while the DEA's El Paso Intelligence Center (EPIC) compiles meth lab seizure data, some states are slow to report complete figures and final data for 2011 won't be made public until mid-year, said DEA spokesman
Rusty Payne.
However, the Missouri State Highway Patrol has access to the preliminary EPIC lab seizure data and provided it to AP this week.

Pyramid Research Analysis
Mobile Number Portability in the USA: 18 Months Later
Mobile number portability (MNP) was first instituted in the US on November 24, 2003 – a date wireless carriers feared most. US mobile operators braced themselves for what they expected to be one of the largest challenges within their industry. Eighteen months after its introduction, number portability has been more of a lumbering elephant and less of a roaring lion.
At the onset, the FCC, wireless operators, and many industry analysts expected 30m subscribers to transfer their wireless number within the first 12 months of MNP's introduction. Only 7.8m actually did. The top five national carriers have all added customers during this time, with AT&T/Cingular growing by about 5% on the low end, and T-Mobile growing by more than 33% on the high end. Overall, Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile have been the biggest winners as they have focused on improving network quality and customer service
However, The New Cingular may soon become MNPs largest beneficiary as it has become the nation's largest carrier. Pyramid Research Senior Analyst Taha Rangwala commented, "I expect to see a significant number of existing mobile subscribers to be lured by Cingular, as the operator boasts the largest free in-network calling base of 50m subscriber in the country."
Verizon will continue to reap the benefits of MNP as its network and customer service continue to improve, proving time and again that subscribers in the US are willing to pay a premium price on mobile telephony as long as they receive quality customer service and superior network coverage. Moreover, since Verizon wsa the first to launch a 3G (1xEVDO) network and currently has the largest 3G network in the country, trend-setting youngsters and high data-usage subscribers have an even greater incentive to port their number over onto its network.

Looks like Negroponte got some bad intel too, because he thought the town and the academy were named for the Catholic saint, St. John rather than who the school is actually named for, French author Hector St. Jean de Crevecoeur.
Negroponte's spokesman said it was an innocent mistake.
Fronting Reagan's phantom war in Nicaragua apparently is fine, but mess up the history of the school you're speaking at and everyone turns on you.

I am in the middle of a kitchen remodel. I need 2 boxes of Florida Mendocino Tile in 13 x 13 Cellar. Unfortunately it has only been manufactured in 12 x 12 tiles since about 2008. Any suggestions where I might find the 13 x 13 tiles or other ideas? |
Follow-Up Postings:
what about doing an internet search-just google the name in quotes, maybe you will get lucky. Did you try calling the company? If you cant find it can you put the larger tiles so it is not as noticable-like laundry room section? also, the coloring might be off so i would be careful where those last tiles go. |
I'm in the same fix as mbmk--In the middle of kitchen remodel that's exposing bare floor where we thought there was tile. This is a from Daltile's discontinued Rocky Mountain series; the tile (color) is Nero, 12" x 12". I have the original invoice, listing the item number as (9999) 723518. I need 30 to 50 (but I'll take what I can get). The photo makes it look a little more earth-toned/brown than in person. If anyone can help me find the tile, someone who has the tile, or even someone who might know how to find the tile, I'd be very grateful. |
mbk, any luck yet? I've spent way too much time on my search and keep coming up empty. I even paid thisoldtile.com $14.95, but that just got me another, "sorry, no." |
mbmk, I'm wondering if you've had any luck in finding the tile you're looking for. I'm running into dead ends looking for mine. Sorry about the typo in my last post. |

Short-haired Bumblebee Project
Short-haired bumblebee report 2013
2011 Annual Report
THE SHORT-HAIRED BUMBLEBEE Bombus subterraneus
Queen B. subterraneus - Nikki Gammans The 2011 Project Report is available for download here
The short-haired bumblebee, Bombus subterraneus, was once widespread across the south of England, occurring as far north as Humberside, but post-1950's its population distribution became isolated and patchy. This bee was last recorded in the UK in 1988 near to Dungeness, Kent and officially declared extinct in 2000.
The short-haired bumblebee project involves Hymettus working in partnership with Natural England, RSPB and Bumblebee Conservation Trust with the aim of reintroducing Bombus subterraneus back to the UK. In order for a successful reintroduction to take place suitable forage habitat must be in place around the planned initial release site of Dungeness and Romney Marsh. The project also aims to engage the public in bumblebee conservation more generally, locally through outreach events and nationally through various media.
To date the project has had enormous success with bumblebee habitat creation and improvement prior to the reintroduction of B. subterraneus. The project has created, advised and assisted in the management of over 550 hectares of flower rich habitat within the release site of Dungeness and Romney Marsh. This has involved working closely with farmers, conservation groups, small holders and other land owners.
Worker B. subterraneus - Andy Tibbs
The project originally intended to reintroduce this bumblebee from New Zealand where it was deliberately introduced for the pollination of clover crops over 120 years ago. However, there have been problems with captive rearing and hibernation of queen bees in New Zealand. Also, the results of genetic analysis of the B. subterraneus population in New Zealand show high levels of inbreeding are present potentially reducing the fitness of any reintroduced stock. Therefore the decision has been made to change the source of the reintroduced bees from New Zealand to Sweden. Sweden is the only country with a strong population of B. subterraneus within its native range. An initial visit to Sweden was made in May 2011 to establish population numbers and to collect animals for disease screening to any attempt to move the bees. The project is hoping for its first release of translocated bees in 2012.

Adrianople, Battle of
Adrianople, Battle of
(AD 378) Battle fought in what is now Edirne, Tur., that marked the beginning of serious Germanic incursions into Roman territory. It pitted the Roman army under the emperor Valens against the horsemen of the Visigoths, Ostrogoths, and other Germanic tribes. The Roman army was annihilated and Valens died on the battlefield. His successor, Theodosius I, and the Goths agreed in 382 that the Goths would help with imperial defenses in exchange for food subsidies. The treaty set the pattern for later barbarian intrusions.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Griffin!
Facts about Griffin
- Breed: Beagle/Setter (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Griffin's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Griffin is a 6 month old beagle/setter mix. He was a stray. Griffin is very loving and affectionate.
He is great with adults, children and other dogs.
Griffin needs a foster home or a forever home. He is an adorable puppy who will
be a wonderful family pet.
If you are interested in meeting Griffin.
Please contact: email@example.com
Other Pets at Angel Dogs
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Griffin, a Richmond Beagle/Setter (Unknown Type) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Beagle/Setter (Unknown Type) for sale in Richmond, or seeking a Beagle/Setter (Unknown Type) dog from a breeder in Richmond.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Richmond already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Richmond breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Beagle/Setter (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Beagle/Setter (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Richmond paves the way for another one to be saved.

Dorothea Lange American, 1926 Gelatin silver print 7 1/4 x 7 3/4 in. 84.XP.912.4
Dorothea Lange made this portrait study not as a social document but rather as a Pictorialist experiment in light and shadow, transforming a character-filled face into an art-for-art's-sake abstraction. This image bridges the two distinct phases of Lange's work: her early, soft-focus portraiture and her better-known documentary work of the 1930s.

Labor Day of 2002: dozens of termites were swarming in my 2nd bathroom. Rental office was called and they sent up a maintenance man with a can of spray. I told them I wanted a professional exterminator, and one was sent a few days later. He found termites and extensive wood damage on the balcony, which he treated (sprayed). He told me that the whole building needed to be tented. Wood was replaced by landlord. I learned that numerous other residents (in my bldg. and others) had found termites inside their apts., which were sprayed by apt.'s maintenance man.
Fall of 2003: a kick-out hole was discovered in living room which means termites are inside wall. Maintenance man was sent to spray and patch hole. I've noticed several areas damaged by termites throughout the complex and seen lots of balcony railings replaced the last two years. Labor Day of 2004: return from out of town to find that termites have again swarmed in 2nd bathroom. Find them throughout the apt. (alive) for the next few days. I obviously need to find another place to live because the owners seem to be contented with "band-aid fixes." My main concern is my furniture. What if termites have gotten inside and I don't find out until after I've moved? Can I request the owner to "microwave" my furniture now? |

Termites can't colonize without a source of water ... your furniture is safe. And before you leave, call the city housing or safety department. The thought of TERMITE infested balconies sounds like some serious accidents waiting to happen. |

Thanks for your response, lazygardens. We have a lovely species of termite in California called drywood termites, which doesn't require a water source (like the subterranean termites you're probably familiar with). Drywood termites are commonly found in furniture. I talked to Orkin when I was visiting family in Georgia (they were doing a termite inspection at my Mom's) and was told that the only time they see drywood termites is in furniture that has shipped from the Southwest. So it's a legitimate worry, especially since they are very difficult to detect. I could not realize termites are within my furniture until several years down the road when it's been destroyed. That's why treatment (tenting, microwaving, etc.) should be done with my furnite inside because it kills the undetected termites. However, if the owners continue to ignore the problem and won't have professionals treat the whole building, what can I do regarding my furniture?? |

"However, if the owners continue to ignore the problem and won't have professionals treat the whole building, what can I do regarding my furniture??" Ask a termite professional. |
- Posted by buggybumper (My Page) on Fri, Sep 24, 04 at 12:32
I have. Orkin (in Ga.) told me that they have vaults to treat furniture. I contacted Orkin in California and Terminix, and they don't have vaults. I will continue to look for a way to treat furniture. However, I would like to know if the owners can be held liable and have to pay for the treatment. There's nothing in my lease regarding termites. Thanks again... |

Part of a landlord's obligations (by law, not by lease) is to keep the premises in good repair. If their failure to act correctly caused damage to your stuff - yes, they are responsible. Just as if you reported a problem with a toilet not flushing correctly and it overflowed and soaked your stuff. However, you will probably have to sue them to get your money. |

I have, recently,(on a saturday) discovered termites in my apartment. They were all over my kitchen and entire living room -wall to wall. When I found out that I had termites, I immediately phoned my landlords "contact numbers". I was hung up on and afterward refused to have someone come and inspect the situation until the next business day. Their excuse was that there was no such thing as a 24 hr. pest control service and the next available date would be a monday. Monday came, I called the landlords' phone from my job (leaving the number 2 times)and asked him to please call back my work number before he planned anything. Needless to say, he never called me,instead he entered my apartment when my boyfriend was home (never calling me) and never made it a point to fix the problem. He told my boyfriend that he had spoken to me before unlocking the door and he was not going to have anyone to check the termites until thu. or fri. Since then, I have tried many of times to get in contact with the landlord. I have left many messages in regards to my furniture being only a couple of months new and the termites eating even the sub-floor below the carpet. Do you have any advice for me and the situation that I am currently in? |
Do you have renter's insurance? Contact them, and tell them that believe that your furniture has been infested with termites from your building and the landlord has not done anything since being contacted by you when you informed him that his building was infested. They will contact your landlord. Maybe his response to them will be quicker. |

As a busy bachelor without any time or ability to cook, Healthy Bites is an ideal solution. Whereas I previously subsisted on pizza, Chinese food and sandwich deliveries, Healthy bites got my eating habits back on track. Lean proteins, fresh fruits and vegetables, and snacks helped me to lose over 20 pounds in 3-4 months. Thank you! --W.B., Washington, DC
"I wanted to tell you how amazing Healthy Bites has been for my husband and me. I work a very stressful job and my husband is a teacher. So when we get home to stay neither of us feel like cooking is an understatement! By the time I got home, cooked dinner, ate dinner, cleaned up, made lunches for the next day and packed my gym bag for the morning it was 9:15 before I ever got to sit down and breathe! I wasn't sleeping great because I was eating late from cooking, and I just did not have any down time before bed time.
Healthy Bites has changed all of that. The food is amazing. Better than I can cook! And we eat, clean up, make lunches..the same as before but I am done by 7:30-8. I have even had time to take a bath a night! I am sleeping so much better because I am not going to bed stressed out and overwhelmed. I just wanted to say thank you so much!" --Jennifer B., Arlington, VA

Forecast: January
Sourpuss Edgar Allan Poe didn't care for his Hub roots. B.C. is toasting the 200th anniversary of his birth anyway.
The First Draft on Deval
Remember the commotion last year over whether Washington Week host Gwen Ifill was fit to officiate the vice presidential debate because of the Obama book she was working on? That tome is out today, and despite its title (The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama), it's not an "Obama book" per se, but rather an accounting of a whole generation of new black leaders, among them our own governor.
In her breezily paced chapter on Deval Patrick, Ifill is particularly struck by his come-from-nowhere candidacy in 2006. ("I certainly know that I cut the line by running for governor," Patrick says.) But while her treatment is generally celebratory, Ifill resists the temptation to credit the governor with mission-accomplished. She quotes one very interested observer, potential GOP challenger Charlie Baker, admitting to keeping a close eye on Patrick. "People are making a mistake if they are presuming there is a trajectory here that is clear and defined," Baker says. "I think it could go in either direction."
Ifill, a Simmons College grad and former Herald writer, also interviews Patrick family members, including his generally reserved wife, Diane. Recounting the governor's past PR missteps—like the plush Cadillac DeVille DTS that he ordered to replace Mitt Romney's Crown Vic—Ifill quotes Mrs. Patrick seething at the Herald's racially tinged contention that the car was "tricked out." It's all interesting stuff for Patrick watchers, if not entirely juicy. But then, Patrick is no doubt holding on to his best material. After all, he's under a $1.35 million contract for a book of his own, slated to drop next year.

The point person on Governor Patrick's big biotech-incentives fund starts handing out $1 billion worth of state cash this month. Here's what else she's got on tap:
The highlight will be attending the inauguration. We'll go down the Friday before, stay with friends, attend some of the galas, and just soak up the great energy. What does someone wear to an inaugural ball? My wardrobe decisions tend to be last-minute, but I'll probably bring my favorite peach-colored Calvin Klein.
I go through six or seven books a month, usually a couple at a time. I read everywhere: in the tub before bed, on the plane en route to various board meetings. I'm looking forward to finishing The Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. It's all about randomness and uncertainty, about how you have to watch out for things that are totally unpredictable. It's especially thought-provoking, given the change in the economy. Who would have thought about that last July, when I took this job?
This month will also be my first chance to go skiing in Vermont, either to Sugarbush or Okemo. My husband and I started dating after a ski trip. I'll do a diamond run to avoid being a wimp, but at this stage, I prefer the blues.- AS TOLD TO BRIGID SWEENEY
Frost/Nixon…and Zelnick
Hot on the heels of Ron Howard's big-screen adaptation, the acclaimed theatric re-creation of the 1976 Frost–Nixon television interviews visits the Colonial for a two-week engagement. Students of BU journalism professor Bob Zelnick will be impressed to see their teacher at the center of the play. It was a young Zelnick, then an out-of-work radioman with a law degree, who was drafted for the job of prepping the lightweight British interviewer David Frost for his showdown with Tricky Dick. At the time, Zelnick called the spectacle "the trial that Richard Nixon never had," and as a part of his gig on the prosecution team he formulated questions and then rehearsed with Frost by playing the part of the ex-president.

Out Of Town News is On Deadline
When the owners of itty-bitty Harvard Square newsstand Out of Town News announced last fall that they would not renew their lease, the city of Cambridge stepped in to throw a lifeline. At the end of this month, that, too, runs out. The possible demise of this icon is a bummer, another blow to the square's quirky, intellectual, locally owned character—or so we've been told. But it's also worth remembering that Out of Town has for the past 15 years been run by an out-of-towner, the Hudson News chain, which supplies every airport in Christendom with glossies and broadsheets. And there is a bigger, arguably better (if less cute) newsstand right across the street.

Logos vs hashtags? Well, how about micro-memes?
Simple answer? Hashtags: Word/Phrase prefixed with "#" to enable Twitter searches.
Usage? Add a hashtag to Jeep (#jeep) in your Twit & presto… instant cross reference & searchable on Twitter! Jeep knows, too!
Makes a hashtag a tad more valuable… almost as important as your logo!
Think "Trail Rated 4×4″ and "Team Mud Nuts" is "hashed"? Nope.

SACRAMENTO, CA — At the California Democratic Party convention in Sacramento Saturday, Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom called for marijuana legalization and described the war on drugs as "an abject failure."
The famously well-coiffed former San Francisco mayor is one of the key contenders for the Democratic Party gubernatorial nomination in 2014 — if Gov. Jerry Brown (D) decides not to run again. The other leading contender is state Attorney General Kamala Harris, who did not broach the topic in her convention address.
"It's time to decriminalize, tax, and regulate marijuana," Newsom said to raucous cheers and applause. "In 2011 alone in this country, three quarters of a million people in the United States were arrested for marijuana law violations, 87% of them for simple possession. And listen to me closely on this — African-American children are ten times more likely to get arrested for drug crimes than their white counterparts even though white children are more likely to abuse drugs."
"You can't make this up," Newsom said. "We send a higher percentage of African American males to prison and jail in this country than we send to colleges and universities in California. After 42 years of failure, I think it's time we concede that if we continue to do what we've done, we'll continue to get what we've got. I think you and we deserve better. It's about standing up on principle, having the courage of our convictions, about saying publicly all too often what we say privately."
The lieutenant governor's speech wasn't all high seriousness. Jokingly referring to his role as acting governor while Brown is on an overseas trip, he said, "I'm thrilled to be here… on the sixth day of the Newsom administration," he said. "This is the right time and the appropriate time to reflect on our cornucopia of landmark accomplishments over these magical six days." Among those was the creation of hundreds of new jobs, "notably in the now-booming hair gel industry," he said, patting his hair.
"All of these wonderful achievements will one day be studied by scholars at the Newsom Acting Governor Library, currently being constructed in the back of a medical marijuana dispensary in the Haight-Ashbury," he said to laughter and applause. "I'm looking forward to it as well," Newsom said, smiling.

Brandyn Dean Stanbary Sentenced in U.S. District Cour
Bill Mercer, United States Attorney for the District of Montana, announced today that during a federal court session in Helena, on December 3, 2009, before Senior U.S. District Judge Charles C. Lovell, BRANDYN DEAN STANBARY, a 33-year-old resident of Belgrade, appeared for sentencing. STANBARY was sentenced to a term of:
- Probation: 2 years
- Special Assessment: $25
STANBARY was sentenced in connection with his guilty plea to willful failure to supply information.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Paulette L. Stewart, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
On August 7, 2008, officers with the Belgrade Police Department were called to STANBARY'S residence to investigate a disturbance call. While there, officers noticed a rifle in STANBARY'S living room that appeared to have a bull barrel. When questioned, STANBARY told the officers that he had made his rifle quiet - meaning silenced.
The officers notified the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). ATF verified that STANBARY did have a silencer and that STANBARY had not provided ATF with the required information about the silencer.
STANBARY was required by law to notify ATF about the silencer by providing his name, address, and information about the silencer including manufacturer and serial number. STANBARY was also to pay a registration tax for the silencer because the silencer is subject to registration under the National Firearms Act.
STANBARY later admitted that he willfully failed to supply the required information regarding his shortened rifle and silencer to the ATF.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that STANBARY will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, STANBARY does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
The investigation was a cooperative effort between the Belgrade Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 At dawn's first light, the high priests, with the religious leaders and scholars, arranged a conference with the entire Jewish Council. After tying Jesus securely, they took him out and presented him to Pilate. | 1 Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, reached a decision. They bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate. |
2 Pilate asked him, "Are you the 'King of the Jews'?" | 2 "Are you the king of the Jews?" asked Pilate. "Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied. |
3 The high priests let loose a barrage of accusations. | 3 The chief priests accused him of many things. |
4 Pilate asked again, "Aren't you going to answer anything? That's quite a list of accusations." | 4 So again Pilate asked him, "Aren't you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of." |
5 Still, he said nothing. Pilate was impressed, really impressed. | 5 But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed. |
6 It was a custom at the Feast to release a prisoner, anyone the people asked for. | 6 Now it was the custom at the Feast to release a prisoner whom the people requested. |
7 There was one prisoner called Barabbas, locked up with the insurrectionists who had committed murder during the uprising against Rome. | 7 A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising. |
8 As the crowd came up and began to present its petition for him to release a prisoner, | 8 The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did. |
9 Pilate anticipated them: "Do you want me to release the King of the Jews to you?" | 9 "Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?" asked Pilate, |
10 Pilate knew by this time that it was through sheer spite that the high priests had turned Jesus over to him. | 10 knowing it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him. |
11 But the high priests by then had worked up the crowd to ask for the release of Barabbas. | 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas instead. |
12 Pilate came back, "So what do I do with this man you call King of the Jews?" | 12 "What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?" Pilate asked them. |
13 They yelled, "Nail him to a cross!" | 13 "Crucify him!" they shouted. |
14 Pilate objected, "But for what crime?" But they yelled all the louder, "Nail him to a cross!" | 14 "Why? What crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, "Crucify him!" |
15 Pilate gave the crowd what it wanted, set Barabbas free and turned Jesus over for whipping and crucifixion. | 15 Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified. |
16 The soldiers took Jesus into the palace (called Praetorium) and called together the entire brigade. | 16 The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. |
17 They dressed him up in purple and put a crown plaited from a thorn bush on his head. | 17 They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. |
18 Then they began their mockery: "Bravo, King of the Jews!" | 18 And they began to call out to him, "Hail, king of the Jews!" |
19 They banged on his head with a club, spit on him, and knelt down in mock worship. | 19 Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. |
20 After they had had their fun, they took off the purple cape and put his own clothes back on him. Then they marched out to nail him to the cross. | 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him. |
21 There was a man walking by, coming from work, Simon from Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus. They made him carry Jesus' cross. | 21 A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross. |
22 The soldiers brought Jesus to Golgotha, meaning "Skull Hill." | 22 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means The Place of the Skull). |
23 They offered him a mild painkiller (wine mixed with myrrh), but he wouldn't take it. | 23 Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. |
24 And they nailed him to the cross. They divided up his clothes and threw dice to see who would get them. | 24 And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get. |
25 They nailed him up at nine o'clock in the morning. | 25 It was the third hour when they crucified him. |
26 The charge against him - the king of the jews - was printed on a poster. | 26 The written notice of the charge against him read: the king of the jews. |
27 Along with him, they crucified two criminals, one to his right, the other to his left. | 27 They crucified two robbers with him, one on his right and one on his left. |
29 People passing along the road jeered, shaking their heads in mock lament: "You bragged that you could tear down the Temple and then rebuild it in three days - | 29 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, "So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, |
30 so show us your stuff! Save yourself! If you're really God's Son, come down from that cross!" | 30 come down from the cross and save yourself !" |
31 The high priests, along with the religion scholars, were right there mixing it up with the rest of them, having a great time poking fun at him: "He saved others - but he can't save himself! | 31 In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. "He saved others," they said, "but he can't save himself ! |
32 Messiah, is he? King of Israel? Then let him climb down from that cross. We'll all become believers then!" Even the men crucified alongside him joined in the mockery. | 32 Let this Christ, this King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him. |
33 At noon the sky became extremely dark. | 33 At the sixth hour darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. |
34 The darkness lasted three hours. At three o'clock, Jesus groaned out of the depths, crying loudly, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?" | 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, ""Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? ""--which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" |
35 Some of the bystanders who heard him said, "Listen, he's calling for Elijah." | 35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, "Listen, he's calling Elijah." |
36 Someone ran off, soaked a sponge in sour wine, put it on a stick, and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Let's see if Elijah comes to take him down." | 36 One man ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to Jesus to drink. "Now leave him alone. Let's see if Elijah comes to take him down," he said. |
37 But Jesus, with a loud cry, gave his last breath. | 37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. |
38 At that moment the Temple curtain ripped right down the middle. | 38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. |
39 When the Roman captain standing guard in front of him saw that he had quit breathing, he said, "This has to be the Son of God!" | 39 And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, heard his cry and saw how he died, he said, "Surely this man was the Son of God!" |
40 There were women watching from a distance, among them Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of the younger James and Joses, and Salome. | 40 Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome. |
41 When Jesus was in Galilee, these women followed and served him, and had come up with him to Jerusalem. | 41 In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there. |
42 Late in the afternoon, since it was the Day of Preparation (that is, Sabbath eve), | 42 It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). So as evening approached, |
43 Joseph of Arimathea, a highly respected member of the Jewish Council, came. He was one who lived expectantly, on the lookout for the kingdom of God. Working up his courage, he went to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body. | 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body. |
44 Pilate questioned whether he could be dead that soon and called for the captain to verify that he was really dead. | 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. |
45 Assured by the captain, he gave Joseph the corpse. | 45 When he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. |
46 Having already purchased a linen shroud, Joseph took him down, wrapped him in the shroud, placed him in a tomb that had been cut into the rock, and rolled a large stone across the opening. | 46 So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. |
47 Mary Magdalene and Mary, mother of Joses, watched the burial. | 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid. |

text: I've had the Poly's famous Tonga Toast at Kona Cafe and totally love it. However, I know that Captain Cook's has it for breakfast in the morning also. Does anyone know if there is any noticeable difference between the two? We're headed for WDW in August, and I have to get my fill of Tonga Toast while we're there, but if Captain Cook's is just as good as Kona's, we may as well go there and save $$, since Kona is more expensive.
