Well done. It's amazing how a little planning and fabrication can make the work easier. I like the idea of the bucket seats - do not think I have ever seen that done. One of these days we should start a thread of our homemade/modified equipment for small farms. I bet there are a lot of brilliant ideas floating out there. Tom |

That's alot of garlic. Could you attachment the roller to the back of your tractor? Might save a few more minutes. |
Very nice! I like the dibbler. I knew another market garden grower who built something like that. There wasn't as many dibbles, but it is cheap and with the right tools, easy to build. You could build several different barrels for different crops, if you wanted too. Did you till the whole area and then just drive to compact your paths down and leave the raised beds? Wish I had ground cleared to plant garlic. The pig weeds got away from me this year. I need to mow them off and then see what to do. Jay |
Just curious, but is there a great advantage to planting so early? I always try to get it in the middle of Oct. One year, I couldn't get it in until December, and it did almost as well as my usual October plantings. I don't know what happened, but the worst garlic I EVER raised was last year. It was an exceptionally mild winter with a horrendously cold, wet spring and early summer. I also planted it near a fencerow, which may be pulling too many nutrients away and providing too much shade. |
i like the planting. very well thought out. but i don't plant garlic until around halloween in zone 7a. if planted now the garlic puts on a lot of growth until it gets cold enough to freeze the tops.not sure if that makes a difference. |
I'm in zone 8 here and the winter temps rarely go below 20F. I've never lost the garlic tops to a freeze even in the worst years. Usually I plant sometime in early October, but in years like this when the fall rains come early i've planted as early as Sept. 15th and had good results. For me it's important to get the garlic planted before steady rain sets in. That way the the roots are established and the garlic won't wash away if there is any flooding. Also, there's a point in the fall when I can't use the rototiller anymore due to saturation. I try to get the overwintering plantings done and the cover crop seed sown before my tractor gets shut out. And maybe the most important reason is that it's one less thing that I have to do this fall...... Also, Jay, yes the semi-raised beds are from driving the tractor to mark the bed widths. -Mark |
before i had hoophouses/high tunnel fall was relaxing time. now it seems like the fall pressure to get things planted is as much as the spring pressure to do the same then. i believe we could sell a lot of elephant garlic (regular garlic floods the market here)but not sure we can get it planted. |
Mark, are plans available online for the rolling dibbler? There might well not be, so here are a few fabrication questions about the dibbler's construction: First, what have you done for the axle and the hubs? (Axle is steel pipe, I presume - or tube steel?) Does it just turn in holes in the sheet metal of the bottom and lid? Or did you use something there to reduce wear, over time? What about limiting side-to-side slippage of the drum within the lengths of tubing you used as part of the frame sections that connect to the cross-piece.handles? Second, what are the dibbles made from? Again, I'd guess steel pipe sections, or steel tube. What diameter? You welded the dibbles to the drum - I presume you used a MIG welder, with small-gauge wire? Thanks. |
Mark I like the ugliest thing you have ever made Thnx. Rina |
Thanks for the comments folks. Quick answer about the water. No it doesn't need any additional weight to mark the holes. Second. The axle is the same galvanized conduit tubing the handles are made from. I'm pretty sure it's 1". I drilled holes on either end of the drum and welded on some beefy washers with holes wide enough for the tubing to slide through. The washers will take wear off the thin drum metal and keep it from squeeking too much while rolling. I considered bearings, but it doesn't really get used all that much. The dibbles are the same conduit, welded with my stick welder set on low. Towards the end of the welding I wasn't burning through the drum or conduit nearly as much as in the beginning..........I would have preferred to use MIG but don't have one and stubbornly didn't want to take it all over to my neighbors shop. Hope this helps, |
Nice gadget. Any relation to Cut-me-own-throat Dibbler? (Pratchett) |

Deputies arrest sex registrant sweep in Mojave, Boron and North Edwards area.
Registrant failed to report new address
MOJAVE, Calif. - A registered sex offender from Los Angeles County was arrested in Kern County, according to deputies.
On Feb 20, deputies from the Mojave and Boron substations conducted sex registrant compliance checks in the Mojave, Boron and North Edwards area.
Officials said a total of 14 residences were checked by deputies. 11 registrants were found to be in compliance with registration requirements, according to officials.
The deputies said two registrants were found to be out of compliance and their cases are being submitted to the District Attorney's office for filling of criminal charges.
During the checks, officials said they received information from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department regarding a possibly sex registrant, 69-year-old Thomas Wheetman, living in the North Edwards area that was previously registered in Los Angeles County. According to officials, Wheetman had failed to register his new address in Kern County.
Deputies said they went to a house in North Edwards and found Wheetman.
Officials said Wheetman was arrested and booked into the Mojave Jail for failing to register as a sex offender in his new county.

Could Ilya Bryzgalov become a Toronto Maple Leaf this summer? The media speculation has already begun.
Lyle Richardson (also known as Spector) wrapped up articles by Damien Cox and Adam Proteau on the subject this way:
If Bryzgalov is available this summer Burke should absolutely pursue him and lock him up for at least three seasons. Yes, Reimer has shown plenty of promise in his short tenure with the Leafs, but I agree with Cox that it wouldn't be a smart gamble on Burke's part returning with Reimer as the starting goalie next season. If Bryzgalov isn't available, Tomas Vokoun could be, and if he's unavailable Dwayne Roloson, Jose Theodore and Ty Conklin would also make affordable, short-term investments, with Reimer in the backup role. If the Islanders don't attempt to retain Evgeni Nabokov next season he might also be a good option, as could Ray Emery.
I suspect that probably reflects the consensus of Leafs fans. James Reimer has had a strong season, but he has a short track record and it would be a risky bet to assume that he's ready to run with the ball he has so ably carried to date.
Is Ilya Bryzgalov the answer?
As much as I would like to disagree with Adam Proteau and Damien Cox, I can't argue the fact that Bryzgalov is a legitimate star goaltender. In three of the last four seasons, he has a save percentage of 0.920, and over his career has a very good 0.915 SV%. He and Tomas Vokoun are clearly the class of this summer's free agent crop.
However, despite Cox's contention that "goaltending matters more than any other position," goaltending has never mattered less than it does now. Virtually every team has a quality goaltender, and despite that quality goaltenders abound. Despite all that quality, last year's Stanley Cup finals featured waiver-wire selection Michael Leighton and soon-to-be summer castoff Antti Niemi. The Detroit Red Wings have employed nobodies in net for years. An elite starter isn't a necessity.
This isn't an argument against signing Bryzgalov – this is an argument against giving Bryzgalov lots of money and many, many years. The market has changed, and the Leafs aren't in a position where they need to go crazy trying to add a goaltender. They can add one of the other names that Richardson mentions, play him in tandem with James Reimer, and reassess next summer.
In short: yes, the Leafs should look at Ilya Bryzgalov. If they can sign him for a reasonable – not a cheap, simply not excessive – contract, they should do it. If they can't, they should avoid overpaying, sign one of the other 300 goaltenders out there, and see what happens/

Willa Cather - The Early Years, 1873-1890 |
Page 2 of 8
The Early Years, 1873-1890Cather was born in Back Creek Valley, Virginia on December 7, 1873, the eldest of an eventual seven children raised by Charles and Virginia Cather. Cathers had been in the area since the 1700s and Back Creek, near Winchester west of Washington, was a place deeply affected by the Civil War. It was a border area, one of the counties in Virginia adjacent to the new state of West Virginia, and the contending armies had vied for control there (Winchester shifted between sides multiple times). The Cathers, who had a sheep farm, were sympathetic to the Union and some of Cather's relations were officials of the reconstruction. Emotions ran deep and the effects of the tumult were slow healing.In this place Cather's first litmus years were impressed with memories of rural Virginia and of the deep culture of the South while the war's discord, still near at hand when Cather lived there, remained a great fact. This, the place she started out from and eventually returned to in her last novel, Sapphira, gave her memories and imaginative effects which she carried throughout her life. They embody her own repeated "relation with the earth itself." Probably owing to the ongoing frictions caused by the war, when Willa was nine years old Charles and Virginia decided to leave Back Creek for Webster County, Nebraska northwest of Red Cloud. So in April 1883 Cather moved with her extended family--mother, father, three siblings, her maternal grandmother Rachel Boak and two of her grandchildren, and the family's hired girl Margie Anderson and her brother Enoch--to Nebraska. There they joined Cather's paternal grandparents, William and Caroline and her Uncle George and Aunt Franc, who were already homesteading. A district known locally as Catherton. Cather alighted with her family at the Red Cloud train depot and drove the twelve miles by team and wagon into the country. The family then stopped at the home of Cather's grandparents, where they would live for the next sixteen months. Cather's first impressions of the prairie filled her with awe and fear, as she once told a newspaper interviewer in 1913: We drove out from Red Cloud to my grandfather's homestead one day in April. I was sitting on the hay in the bottom of a Studebaker wagon, holding on to the side of the wagon to steady myself-the roads were most faint trails over the bunch grass in those days. The land was open range and there was almost no fencing. As we drove further and further out into the country, I felt a good deal as if we had come to the end of everything-it was a kind of erasure of personality. When she offered this description Cather had just published O Pioneers!, her first and far more literary novel focused on prairie pioneering. It would be followed in 1918 with the more personal My Antonia where the narrative proper begins with the very autobiographical experience Cather described. Transposed to Jim Burden, the narrator, these memories inform his first impressions of the Nebraska prairie-he is newly orphaned, removed to this place which seems otherworldly: "I had never before looked up at the sky where there was not a familiar mountain ridge against it. But this was the complete dome of heaven, all there was of it." "Between that earth and that sky I felt erased, blotted out" (My Antonia 7, 8). Cather's removal from the settled and deeply felt culture of postwar rural northern Virginia to the pioneering prairie of the Nebraska Divide--a sensitive child at a critical age--was in many ways her making as an artist. Dropped into such a place at such a time, naturally curious, young Cather made the very most of it during her first year in Nebraska. As she made clear repeatedly after O Pioneers! was published, she had been afforded a rare opportunity for an incipient writer: though sparsely settled, the Divide between the Republican and Blue rivers offered her multiple opportunities to meet and gather information from immigrants and other pioneers who spoke different languages and engaged in other cultural practices. The young Cather, whom Joan Acocella has rightly described as "one of those genius children-a show-off, an explosion, a pest" (Politics 7), listened to these stories and stockpiled the details, not knowing the use she would later put them too in some of her novels. During her time on the Divide, Cather attended a one-room school house, but Charles Cather was not suited to be a prairie farmer so after about a year and a half in Catherton the family moved into Red Cloud--a decision made in part so the children could receive a better education at the town's school. At that time, Red Cloud was a division point on the Burlington railroad and so sustained a population of about 1,800. Eight passenger trains and several grain trains passed through Red Cloud daily, and a horse-drawn streetcar transferred passengers to and from the depot south of town. The Red Cloud Opera House, now restored by the Willa Cather Foundation, was built in 1885 and was the cultural center of the town--it hosted concerts, speakers, and performers. There the young Willa Cather developed her love for the stage, for musical performance, and for artistry of all sorts. When they moved to Red Cloud Cather's parents rented a house on Third and Cedar streets and Charles Cather opened an office to deal in real estate, insurance, and loans. Their neighbors, an educated Jewish couple name Wiener, spoke French and German and gave Willa access to their personal library. Mrs. Wiener read her French novels and interpreted them as she went along. Cather's other neighbors, the Miners, quickly became her closest friends. Cather heard serious music for the first time in the Miner house; she would often listen to Mrs. Miner--a talented musician--play the piano. Both the Wieners and the Miners served as prototypes for figures in Cather's fiction--the former appear as the Rosens in one of her best short stories, "Old Mrs. Harris," and in My Antonia Cather recreated the atmosphere in the Miner home by her creation of the Harlings, whose home draws Jim by its activities and society. In the novel Jim is also drawn to the Harlings by the presence of Antonia Shimirda. Growing up in Red Cloud, Cather had also met the Miner's hired girl, Annie Sadilek. Sadilek, an immigrant from Bohemia, had moved to Nebraska with her family where they had initially lived in a dugout house before moving into town; her father had committed suicide. That suicide would become the basis for Cather's first published story, "Peter," and Annie herself would later serve as central to My Antonia. As Cather grew into adolescence in Red Cloud, she continued to explore the countryside, meet new people, and remained an active presence in the town. As one of "those genius children," it was clear to all that the Cathers' oldest daughter was going somewhere, that she had a future. Cather had befriended the local doctors, so initially she seemed to be defying norms by heading toward medicine. She cropped her hair short, referred to herself as "Willie," William, or "Wm" Cather, M.D., and adopted a generally male form of dress. In 1890, at the age of sixteen, Cather graduated from Red Cloud high school along with two others, both boys. Each delivered a graduation speech on the stage of the Opera House. Cather's--published in the Red Cloud Chief--was an answer to local people who had evidently been critical of her interests in biology and medicine. James Woodress, who published the whole text, called it "a ringing defense of scientific inquiry" which "ranges from the dawn of history to the present moment" (60). Ironically, the Chief foresaw great accomplishment for the two boys but was silent on Cather's prospects. |

In my offhand judgment, Justice Breyer's argument about the ATS and its "fit" with the presumption [against extraterritoriality] has force. (The Chief has an answer, but it's a very close call.) What this is actually about, though, is a monitoring problem; and on that, the Chief is right.
The ATS has become a playpen for a cabal of international law enthusiasts and plaintiffs' lawyers. Couple the former's wild-eyed global aspirations with the latter's eagerness to drag corporations through our one-of-a-kind tort system, and it's Katy, bar the door. The Chief's rule blocks all that: if it happened abroad, that's it. Justice Breyer's position, in contrast, would compel the Court to monitor all the places and institutions where this stuff gets out of hand: the Ninth Circuit; the wildest district courts in the country; the folks who are in charge of the Restatement of Foreign Relations; and the people who crank up "customary" international law (which becomes "customary" when someone at Yale Law School says it is, and the Swedish Minister of Foreign Affairs agrees). If some foreign employees of a U.S. company sue other employees of that company over tortious sexual harassment at the company's foreign plants, has the defendants' conduct "substantially and adversely affect[ed] an important American national interest," that of serving as a beacon of sexual equality in the world? You tell me.
To ask the Supreme Court to keep an eye on this is to declare surrender. So it's good that the Court has drawn a line. Whether it'll hold, we'll see.

Dragon Soul normal and heroic nerf begins Jan. 31 {WoW}
Jan 25th 2012 1:06PM @Moonflaxx
The issue is there's no distinction between turning the nerf off or on. It'll still count as the raid was done.
The point about Firelands and the nerf, was players were trying to do it before the nerf came as a measure of skill. I especially liked the raid because it was about communication and coordination, which encouraged the raid to actually work more as a team (not every man for himself). It was rough, but I was there for hours (8hrs one night, even), and enjoying the experience.
Being in a small guild I have to PuR to raid and enjoy LFR for that purpose, but honestly would prefer to raid normally (and if ever, to do HMs). It's the sense of accomplishment that LFR and the nerfs kill, and that's why progression raiders moan when nerfs do come. It's then everyone wants to do it (those who would not do it when the raid was hard) and with little discipline, too. It goes from a more adult atmosphere to talking strat and all, to kids wanting to race through and if *they* fail blaming everyone else. The closeness raiding can offer is lost, to just be replace with a larger LFR type group. Spoils the fun.

What the Raid Finder's success means for the future of accessible content {WoW}
Dec 22nd 2011 4:30AM This is something that has been asked for for a long time, and a welcome change.
As MMO players get older, and the internet offers more things to do, we just don't have 15hr days anymore to do old skool raiding. We could manage a marathon on the weekends or so, but the standard raid times like Tuesday at 8pm -- and every week -- just is too much for many to deal with.
Secondly, as Cata has taught everyone if you're raiding most of the time on your main, those alts aren't getting geared (or getting geared late in the patch). WoTLK was such a success in getting alts geared out, that the result was wall-to-wall raids were available almost 24/7. LFR will be an excellent way to gear out alts so even more raiders will be available.
Overall, this was needed like yesterday, and glad to see if finally implimented. It brings out everyone to participate, which is a good thing!
Your first Battlegrounds as a PvP healer {WoW}
Dec 22nd 2011 4:21AM One thing to remember as a PvP healer: you w-i-l-l die and die often. There's no Holy paladin invincibility when 4 mages are critting you for 50+k each with over 4k resil!
It's a role you have to love well to tolerate being the #1 target on the BG as soon as the gates open.
Make use of any cover you can -- mines/buildings/bushes -- to stay out of the LoS of DPS. Even if they have the HHTD addon, you can count on the "fog of war" to keep most of the enemy off your back. Most players in a BG will be preoccupied with easier targets, so use their distraction to your advantage.
Don't be tempted to run the flag even once you are more geared (seen this too many times), it's very tempting at times, but it's like having a pinpoint radar on you. Not only are you the #1 target on the BG, if you're carrying the flag every rogue would be there with a smoke bomb with your name on it (if they don't stun lock you). Leave that to melee, especially DKs and Warriors.
Mana conservation isn't as critical in PvP as in PvE, as PvP is designed that you're not expected to live long (sad but true). If you're alive for 5+ mins while in the thick of the fight, the other team just sucks. In those times when you can stay alive for longer (like on a skirmish line in AV -- those are really fun to heal), you can peel away and safely drink.
Usually you don't heal pets as you do have to save mana to keep players alive, but there's rare times when there's an OP hunter with a serious enemy eating pet. Such pets are basically tanks, and if you heal it, it can clear the BG by itself (especially true on lower level BGs). Remember some BGs when a hunter brought such a beast along, it would almost own midfield all by itself over and over and over.
Pay attention of who you're travelling with on the BGs. Ideally you want to team up with those classes that compliment yours and has what your class lacks (especially CC heavy classes so you can freecast -- if you can freecast you are golden and can rack in some serious HPS [and it's what you aim for in both regular PvP and arenas]). Good partners are those that can peel well, too.

Activision Blizzard: RIFT players will come back to WoW {Massively}
May 11th 2011 9:29AM @Puremallace
I'm playing both WoW and Rift.
For me the appeal for WoW is the reason I came to the game -- to play a Holy paladin (a paladin that can actually heal, not offheal). But the 4.0.1 healing changes, and all that was learned about this sub-class healing from the devs, have left a bitter taste about the game. All that was said that healing wouldn't be the same as in WoTLK, guess what? Players are reverting right back to the WoTLK habits, complete with stacking haste to spam HL again. -_-
Cata is so repackaged. On one hand the devs tell us XYZ will be different, then on another we find out that it isn't. The healing haste issue is but one sign that no matter how much people complain about WoTLK game/class mechanics, *they* still return to it. It's like speaking from both sides of the mouth, and frankly, resent the double speak.
After all this, is Blizzard even surprised that players are finding other MMOs to play...and some to never return?
Love my Holy paladin to pieces, yet the love of the class alone isn't enough to keep me with WoW for long. Want to do more, but PuRs are gone with the new guild system and I love to raid. Rift for now with the many invasions is a raid replacement, and I'm happy with the blend of WoW and EQ2 (SHINIES!!!) and even logging into to a game with a theme song. Rift feels more epic, and lord, is it a tougher game to play.
Hope Rift takes the best of WoW and EQ2 and weaves a newer MMO. Because it's about time classic MMOs have a new direction. Don't want to read about backburners (like guild housing and appearance armor) want a game that the devs say, "Sure, we'll be doing it", instead. A more "can do" attitude to offset the no-no-no.
Blizzard needs the competition anyway, just like SoE needed it.

Galene makes searching twice as fast and a new feature "instant results and suggestions" predicts what the user is going to type.
LinkedIn has finally introduced the photo sharing feature on mobile devices, a year after getting into the business of photo sharing on desktop. The professional social networking site confirmed in a blog post that mobile users can now use the share box on the top right corner of the home page to upload images in their status updates.
LinkedIn has announced the launch of a new way to let companies with a presence on the site share their content. The new Showcase Pages will allow companies to create dedicated pages to the more prominent brands, initiatives, and businesses.
LinkedIn, the social network for professionals is rolling out a new feature that will allow users to mention and hyperlink people as well as companies in their status updates & conversations.
The Facebook-style tool will allow you to mention and hyperlink the contacts present in your network. The feature will suggest you a name from a drop-down menu, the moment you begin to type it.
LinkedIn has a healthy membership of 175 million or so members and to ensure they can connect and network better, the social network has redesigned its profile pages. These pages will ensure that networking and connecting will be made smoother for all on the network including the 175,000 new user profiles being created every day. Profile pages are central to the social network's functioning as they form the basis of people's decision to make connect or move on.
LinkedIn has announced the roll out of a new notifications feature to allow users real time connectivity. The new feature will allow users to see a flag and an envelope icon at the top of the homepage whenever there is a comment/like on a post, profile views, accepted and new invitations etc. And whenever a new activity happens, a red circle would show up.

I'm finally re-doing each window. (1911 colonial revival- reglazing, repainting, re-hanging...).
On the sash-stops, which hold the lower sash in place, the screws that hold this trim-stop to the jam have washer/grommet type brass rings that keep the screw recessed. They are 5/8th in diameter and about 1/2" deep. they have all been painted over and over, and I would like to replace them w/ shiney new brass ones.
If anyone knows what i'm talking about at all, please post a response.
Follow-Up Postings:
I know exactly what you mean but don't know the name for the piece. Have you tried vandykesrestorers.com or www.wmjrigby.com? Both have loads of window hardware. A hint to remove the paint - boil water in a pan you'll never use for cooking. Mix in some baking soda. Then drop your rings in and let them cook for 10-15 minutes. Pull them out one at a time and the paint will peel right off. In our old house, our window trim was originally stained dark brown and the rings were the color of the stain. Good luck. |

Oooh, ooh, tom, I do so wish I had your answer. I'll add my name to those seeking this exact same item. I have a 20's bungalow and have stripped years of white paint from all of the trim. In the process we removed all those sash stops (or window jambs? what are they called exactly?) and are now also dealing with trying to replace the dozens of crudded-over, oxidized brass finish-washer trim-grommet thingees in order to replace 'em on the windows. Mine have 2 slight little teeth on the back to keep them tight in the wood. They are more like trim washers than like grommets, except with teeth, slightly deeper and with an ovoid hole for the screwhead. I fear I've lost many of them in the stripping process, but perhaps I can still try the boiling trick. Do they retain their shininess at all, post-boil? |

Holy Toledo! I found 'em! I am forever indebted to you, patser. Via wmjrigby.com I discovered their name: *drumroll* stop bead adjusters With this info I can now surf my way to the right size, metal, etc. (These folks offer lots of finishes, for instance.) Many many thanks! |
Here is a link that might be useful: stop bead adjusters at wmjrigby

I'm glad I could help! Yes, the boiling trick takes the metal piece right back to it's original finish. I've used it with eastlake pieces and tiger striped metal. Both came out copper and black. I'm 10 years into old houses and between this forum, oldhouseweb.com and ambungalow.com, I've picked up lots of info thanks to others who have been there before me! |

I wanted to report back in: just received my stop sash grommet order from killian hardware, and they are absolutely perfect matches for my old ones. The brass-coated steel (cheapest option, and look perfectly nice) cost about $0.50 each and come in boxes of 100. Hurrah for Gardenweb! |

*Disclaimer: The information hereinbelow is taken from an Xbox 720 design document written in 2010. Some of the details will have been revised, perhaps extensively. For more information on the reliability of the data, go here
2. Microsoft's final bid to create the first definitive media hub
Since the first PlayStation, console manufacturers have sought to evolve their games systems into all-encompassing media centres. Xbox 720, the new data suggests, is Microsoft's attempt to offer an unprecedented consolidated entertainment device.
All-in-one"XTV" is the 2010 working title of existing plans to encompass online services such as TV streams, music and video catalogues, and various entertainment downloads. Blu-ray playback will also be supported.
Yet Xbox 720 will go one step further by allowing customers to mix applications together. Users can overlay sports feeds onto movies, game guides onto games, along with various other transmedia initiatives.
A significant step for Microsoft will be the system's form-factor, which the document suggests will closely resemble a set-top box. The consumer psychology is to present adults and non-gamers with a device that appears familiar to the living-room set-up.
Background recording, multi-streaming
The standout feature is the recording and playback technologies. Xbox 720 will allow customers to record live TV in the background while a game is playing. The footage can then be watched on the console at a later date, or it can be streamed to other devices in the household such as a tablet or smartphone.
All such content will accessible across devices, and users will theoretically be able to stream a movie from Microsoft's cloud servers through Wi-Fi, continue to watch the footage on 3G- and 4G-enabled smartphones, and finish the programme by watching through a PC.
Xbox Live will be a unified service that underpins all activities across mobile, computer, tablet, TV and console.
(The document also briefly suggests that "XTV" will be a service embedded into other, non-Microsoft set-top boxes and Smart TVs - a further suggestion that Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business believes that Xbox Live has the clout to take on Google and Apple's next-gen television sets.)
NEXT: 3. Kinect version two: Four players, two sensors

And just as serifs are supposed to help letters stand out from one another, Griffith is never one to get lost in the crowd. He was the first in his circle of friends to get an iPod, though the fingers he used to fiddle with it were usually stained with old printing inks.
"His is not a slick hip; his is a knowing hip," says Ken Bloom, the former head of the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, the first Colorado museum to showcase Griffith's work. "His is the original hip."
And Griffith is at every hip event around: shmoozing at gallery openings and design symposiums, serving on the mayor's Create Denver advisory committee, swapping programming stories at Boulder tech meet-ups, roaming the halls at one local college or another (he's taught graphic design and typography at the University of Colorado Denver, the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design and the University of Denver). No matter where he is, he's undoubtedly holding forth on one esoteric topic or another — the relative merits of Helvetica, the most ubiquitous modern typeface, and Futura, the most popular; the ongoing relevance of the Russian avant-garde artist Kazimir Malevich; the comedic perfection of Derek and Clyde, a British act from the 1970s; the physics involved in the original Asteroids arcade game.
"I think what you get from Rick is a kind of impresario in the city," says Adam Lerner, director of the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver. "He's a new hybrid creative who cuts across the bounds of graphic design work, the art world, the music world, youth culture and the professional world of design. It feels like he is at the center of so many events in the Denver creative community."
Often that creative center seems to overlap with the MATTER studio, a 14,000-square-foot, onetime printing-supply warehouse. (Griffith and his family live in another former print shop in northwest Denver: "My life is easily connected by all these things that have to do with printing," he says.) The space acts like a magnet for creative flotsam and jetsam: A friend gifted Griffith with a malfunctioning, decades-old sandwich vending machine that sits in a side room, waiting to be transformed into a machine that will vend "thoughts," no correct change required. And one day, someone dropped a complete set of tiny metal foundry type, all in Chinese characters, on the counter of MATTER's shop, a storefront where passersby can purchase greeting cards that read "I'm sorry your Cyclops died" and "I've always fucking hated your work."
The "sentiment" cards are just a tiny sample of the work the studio is constantly churning out. Under the brand MATTERIAL, the company produces type-focused apparel such as a poodle skirt decorated with a poodle pooping out "M"s, as well as hand-bound writing pads and other paper products geared toward designers' needs. Fueled by pitchers of latte pulled at all hours from a restaurant-grade La Marzotco espresso machine, MATTER's six employees and two adjuncts work with both the latest technology and age-old crafts. While they digitally film client meetings and tweak corporate logos on top-of-the-line iMacs (Griffith's is the biggest, a 27-inch monster), they're also skilled at hand-rolling ink onto wooden type and operating machinery so unwieldy and treacherous that the mechanical throwbacks are known as "widowmakers."
"It's the kind of place where someone who is motivated will have a chance to do something awesome, and someone who isn't in it for the love will feel overwhelmed," says Peterson. "Everything we do has to be fucking perfect."
That perfection extends to the way people converse. Use of the word "just" is frowned upon because, as Griffith explains, "'Just' is the word that people use when they don't want to recognize your effort or don't want to pay you back." People who employ "font" and "typeface" interchangeably are quickly corrected; typeface refers to a design family such as Arial, Helvetica or Times New Roman, while a font is a particular style and quantity of a typeface. And, as explained in Practical Matters: A Guide to the Benefits and Obligations of Being a Client at MATTER, a 56-page manual provided to the studio's clientele, sarcasm has been banned from the premises except on Wednesdays. "I view sarcasm as a cruel method of communication," explains Griffith. "People shouldn't doubt the words they're saying to each other."
Or the worldview he espouses with those words. "As far as I am concerned, language rules everything around me. Language rules the whole game," Griffith says. "When most designers look to photography or illustration to solve graphical problems, we look to words. Words are the power I choose to wield; words are the tools I choose to use. We have faith in words."
Griffith's favorite time to work with type is when no one else is around. "Amongst all the designer/printers, the letterpress designer/printer is uniquely vulnerable," he wrote in an introduction to Pressed!, a letterpress exhibit he curated at the Denver Pavilions last summer. "Most have been trained and practice in manners which resemble monastic life — entirely reliant on antiquated tools using obscure measurements, large, heavy equipment almost impossible to accommodate, and an ever-shrinking resource of parts and type."

The Wyoming Transportation Department did everything right in the late 1990s when it began planning for a four-lane road west of Casper, an attorney for the state said Tuesday.
But the owners of property south of the North Platte River wanted more than what the state was willing to offer for their land for the 7.5-mile West Belt Loop, Special Assistant Attorney General David Ditto said during the opening statements of a scheduled three-day bench trial in Natrona County District Court.
So the Wyoming Transportation Commission had to file a lawsuit to condemn 29 acres of the property of Robert and Cynthia Schlidt, Ditto told District Judge Scott Skavdahl.
The Schlidts' attorney, Pat Crank, agreed Natrona County needs a two-line highway to connect U.S. Highway 20/26 at the business bypass to Wyoming Highway 220 near the Gothberg subdivision.
But, Crank said, the state violated the law when it sought a wider right of way for a four-lane highway that won't be needed for many years and acted in bad faith in dealing with the Schlidts .
"If you're going to take private citizens' private property rights, you have to do it right," he said. "They cannot go beyond statutory authority. That alone is fatal to this condemnation action."
The state wanted excessively wide easements, such as a 510-foot easement in one area that is larger than the 300 feet needed, Crank said. The land taken would include a hill set be razed for fill material, and the state was doing this to obtain the dirt based on a per-acre price instead of paying the greater cubic yard price, he said.
Crank added WYDOT officials deposed for the case did not know about the requirements of Wyoming's eminent domain laws.
However, Ditto focused the state's case on WYDOT's extensive work beginning in the late 1990s, when it hired HDR Engineering Inc. to conduct an environmental assessment that included determining the necessity of the West Belt Loop, designs and alternatives, public comments including those from the Schlidts and peer reviews from other engineers.
The state, Ditto said, acted in good faith in appraising the property, saying WYDOT shifted the alignment for the road after protests from the Schlidts, who then bought the 147 acres within the highway corridor.
Construction is set to begin in 2011.
The road would increase mobility and safety, reduce congestion and divert truck traffic around Casper, according to WYDOT.
Crank had said WYDOT officials and others associated with the project did not know when the two-lane highway would be expanded to four lanes.
Ditto responded that making preparations for a four-lane road -up to but not including gravel and paving -will save money and avoid another lengthy environmental assessment.
"If the scope of the project is cut back, the department will have to start again," he said.
The trial is scheduled to continue today.

The Mayo Transform Symposium was inspiring, yes. People from design, healthcare and corporations all came together and talked about what is going on in healthcare, and how we can work to change it. As mentioned in the first post on the conference, the complexity of changing that system is daunting, but several groups and individuals are tackling it in their own ways.
John Thackara further emphasized the theme of breaking out of a static hospitals-as-institutions structure, attacking the Mayo directly for the giant physical energy-depleting structures it embodies. He pointed out that 95% of healthcare happens outside the medical system—between caregivers and families (just as most of life happens outside the medical system.) Thackara argued that we need to see health and well-being as properties of a social-ecological context. His key point was that healthcare should not be about intervening in peoples' lives when needed, but rather being in them at all times, which then subverts any need for interference.
Architect Michael Murphy, co-founder of MASS Design Group, presented a perfect example of healthcare becoming part of the community in which it works with a project on a hospital he worked on in Rwanda. The Butaro Hospital was built in a beautiful, mountainous region where 400,000 people were underserved by 0 doctors. One of the biggest concerns in designing the hospital was to combat Extremely Drug Resistant Tuberculosis, which is contracted via the air, when two strains of TB mix. In the design of a standard hospital ward in Rwanda, hallways provided an ideal mixing place for this deadly strain of TB.
To minimize air mixing, Murphy and his team designed the hospital itself as a preventative mechanism for TB. They created the hospital with several separate buildings, essentially removing all hallways from the basic architecture. Additionally, they used simple architectural methods to increase ventilation, with fans, UVGI lights in the ceiling to clean air, and high windows to move air in and out. Additional considerations were made toward patient experience, by designing rooms with patient beds pointed at windows rather than other sick patients.
Mayo Clinic's Center for Innovation
Just as Murphy's Butaro Hospital is an example of Thackara's notion of healthcare being in communities at all time, so is the Center of Innovation itself. What may have been most inspiring about the whole conference is the work they are doing at CFI, their existence and the fact that they hold the Transform Symposium each year. Lorna Ross, Creative Lead and Manager of the CFI and her team are working on that exact principle of being in the community that they are working to change—in one of the most advanced medical facilities in the world.
Although both Lorna Ross and Maggie Breslin, Senior Design Researcher at CFI both spoke, we unfortunately didn't get a lot of concrete example case studies. But we did experience the open, transparent, collaborative nature of the CFI throughout the rest of the conference (or maybe it was just everyone in Minnesota being so darn nice?). Those nice people of the CFI gave a few tours of the studio during the conference, which helped make visible the team's mission to "transform the experience and delivery of health care."
The Center for Innovation is purposefully housed in the Gonda building, which otherwise is home to strictly clinical occupants of the Mayo practicing outpatient healthcare. Like many design studios, CFI inhabits a large, mostly open space, with no cubical walls to divide individual work zones. These zones fill the middle, and are ringed by various non-traditional, focused meeting space. One side against the windows has long, tall tables and various playful exercise balls. Others are used temporarily as pin-up areas for specific projects. A sequence of about 5 small rooms are designated for each big project the teams are working on, from Community Health Transformation to Healthy Aging and Independent Living. There is also a small gallery corner and a "new tech" area, where possibly relevant tech like Fitbits and the Kinect are displayed for testing.
The CFI is not the most creative or playful studio we've seen, but its exciting to see a space like this in a medical context, living among the work they are doing, and working to change it. Lorna Ross spoke of the challenges she and her team have faced in their work, and made an apt comment. She talked of designers' quick tendency of making maps to define and guide, and recently realizing that what is needed most in navigating healthcare is a compass. Rather than plotting a path and pointing the way with maps, those combining design and healthcare need to be self-aware, with knowledge of our surroundings but the ability to maneuver as we go. This concept fit nicely with Thackara's of being in the community rather than intervening—aware and interacting, but not blindly guiding.
True to the open nature of the nice folks at CFI, they have kindly posted all video of all the speakers on the Transform site.

In in northwestern NJ and purchased the above roses in June. They are still in same pots since purchase and I want to know if they can be planted in the ground, or should I put them in larger pots. If ok to plant in ground, when is best time? It's Sept. now and getting cooler. Thanks, Kathie |

You should still be able to plant them in the ground now, as you should still have a few months before you get a freeze. If you repot them, you will still need to provide winter protection. Liz |
Put them in now. First frost for your area is targeted for 1 October (ours is 15 October, I'm in Monmouth Cty.), but it has never gotten that cold that early here. The roots will actually like the cooler weather. Don't fertilize now, though, unless you just add a little bone meal in the hole. No more fertilizing until next year. |

I live in VA and i have a three year old Mars grape vine. I always get lots of leaves and it looks like it is growing very well. Between year 1 and year 2 i just let it do it is thing, no pruning. Last year, i pruned around November when all the leaves were gone. I finally have little grape buds, however they look like the same size for about a month straight, no real growth. is that normal, or is there something wrong?
the buds are about the size of a crumb of cake. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The clusters do indeed take quite a while to grow. Long as they aren't shriveling up and falling off, you're doing fine, just leave 'em be. |
thanks, i am a novice grower and was getting worried. Either way, fruit or no fruit it is still a joy |

This is Teri, another sweet, sweet girl who is looking for someone who will love her and keep her safe forever. In turn Teri said she will sit with you and love you right back.
Teri enjoys quiet time sitting in your lap while being brushed or petted, she just enjoys the time she spends with humans. Teri gets along with other cats well and enjoys playing.
Please come meet Teri and give her the love and attention she deserves and craves.
You can visit me 7 days a week at PetSmart in Bethlehem / Winder, Georgia. We are over in the cat section of the store, just look for me in my pretty hammack.
We rotate our cats/kittens in and out of PetSmart to give them a break and allow them freedom to run around our shelter. If you are interested in a certain cat please call Jill before your visit to PetSmart and tell her which cat/kitten you are interested in so she can make sure the cat/kitten is there for you to visit.
You can also call Altered Feral State if you want more information on me, just ask for
Jill (770) 876-0659
And of course all the nice people at PetSmart will be glad to help you adopt me here at the store. At Altered Feral State, we work with feral cat colonies.
All of our kittens were removed from the colonies and completely socialized when they are less than 8 weeks old. We don't offer them for adoption until they have been tested, vaccinated and spayed or neutered. Our adoption fee of $100.00 only covers a very small portion of our costs, but to us, it's all about finding the best home for these wonderful kitties.
Please make an appointment with your personal Veterinarian for a well cat check up, your Veterinarian may recommend additional vaccines depending on the cats/kittens age. These costs are your responsibility

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Teri, a Monroe Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Monroe, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Monroe.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Monroe 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 Monroe 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Monroe paves the way for another one to be saved.

Hello all, I am very new to gardening in Eastern Tennessee and am wanting to plant strawberries for ground cover in a big bed in my front garden. Thanks to one of your TN posters I found a long list of fruit suppliers which mentioned Krohne plant farms as an excellent supplier of strawberry plants. I found another post mentioning the benefit of surecrop, and Krohne do have them. However they also have the following offer: http://www.krohneplantfarms.com/index.cfm?Action=ViewDetails&prd_id=38 Are these varieties any good for my location? The varieties are Albion. Jewel, Earlyglow and Seascape. Thanks for any replies! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Krohne's all season strawberry offer
Follow-Up Postings:
Possible sources of info: Your local agricultural extension office: Select your county here. (You may also want to ask them if they can put you in contact with a specialist that deals in this type of fruit - and, yes, there is one.) Local growers: Choose your region for a local list. (You may find that expertise varies greatly, but some of these farmers may really know their stuff.) Websites of other strawberry suppliers: This may be the list you mentioned. (Hartmann's Plant Company, Indiana Berry & Plant Co., Nourse Farms Inc., Sakuma Bros. Farms, and Simmons Plant Farm all have info on the strawberry cultivars they offer. Do keep in mind that they are trying to sell their stuff though.) GW's Fruit and Orchards Forum: You can also try the search function. (The advise here probably won't be local and may not be professional, but it might be useful.) |

Thank you so much for the information, Brandon. The list I referred to was actually one of your posts on this forum! |
I've recently moved from MI to TN, and I've grown Earliglow in MI. They were spectacular June bearing plants, and produced the best crop of 7 varieties I've tried, including Mara DeBois. Mara DeBois had nice fragrant flavors, but it was everbearing and didn't produce heavy sweet crops like Earliglow did. I've tasted Jewel from a farmer's market, and it was ok, but it couldn't beat Earliglow especially when they were vine ripened in your own garden. |

Review: The Worst Movie of 2013 Race Ends Early With 'InAPPropriate Comedy'
Movie Reviews By Kate Erbland on March 22, 2013 | Comments (8)Perhaps the only thing you need to know about Vince Offer's InAPPropriate Comedy is that (spoiler? can you spoil a film that you sincerely hope no one you've ever met sees? beware?) it ends with the reveal that everything that has taken place previously, every deeply unfunny sketch, every ham-fisted attempt at stirring up controversy, every minute of offensive material presenting itself as shocking cultural commentary, has taken place in Lindsay Lohan's vagina. To be fair, about three minutes or so do take place in Offer's wraparound storyline (one so nonsensical that it makes me regret ever poking even the tiniest of holes in the wraparound storyline of V/H/S, a film that should be lauded as one of the greatest cinematic achievements of our time in comparison to the wretched tripe that is InAPPropriate Comedy), which features the ShamWow spokesperson/director/writer living in a sewer where he operates some sort of magical iPad that apparently controls sketch comedy in Lindsay Lohan's nether regions. Offer's choice to place himself in a La-Z-Boy in an actual sewer is the only wise decision he makes in the entire outing, and it's still weirdly indicative of the level of humor in InAPPropriate Comedy, which is to say, incredibly stupid and gross and totally convinced that it's subversive and cool and insightful.

Mouse ears dress up for 'Pirates'
Scott Powers
Sentinel Staff Writer
June 20, 2006
Now all those Mickey Mice can dangle hoop earrings from their big, round ears.
In a tie-in with the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest movie, the Walt Disney Co. is releasing a pair of its iconic ears fashioned for a Mickey Mouse pirate and a Mickey Mouse pirate princess. Both sport a hoop dangling from the left ear.
The hats are the latest in a rapidly generating, new line of multicolored, decorated versions of the old standby. For 50 years, the ears came with the same color palette that Henry Ford used to insist on for his cars: black. No more.
Think faux fur ear hats. Princess ear hats with lacey veils. Tinker Bell ear hats. Ear hats with stars for the Fourth of July.
Disney first started messing with the traditional version last year as part of the company's "Happiest Celebration on Earth." People loved them, so in recent months more and more versions have been introduced, said Dara Trujillo, Walt Disney World's manager of merchandise franchise and synergy.
But Mickey Mouse with an earring?
"We are so 2006," Trujillo said.
