Hi guys!
I got the best package in the mail, a box STUFFED with cuttings from Cindy, she ROCKS!! So I have 90% rooted in 4" pots and 3 in 12" pots that have a good root system on them. I lost one to rot, I think it was too green of a cutting but pretty good for my first time rooting cuttings! Please confirm for me (once they are 10-12" tall): Plant in good well draining potting soil. Fertilize with MG (Easiest because it is on my watering lines) once or twice a week Keep in morning and afternoon sun and try to avoid the noon-day sun Watch for snails and slugs (I have sluggo on hand in case I see a problem) Keep them moist but not wet Look at them 200 times a day to see if they grow :) Only expect blooms after a 'Y' is developed- could take a year or so. 1-2 gallon pot, I only have room for 3 in the ground this year ??? Am I on track? Last question... 'dropping buds' I am not up with the lingo. What is that? When I think of dropping buds it means they finally are starting to form. But reading some posts, now I think it is because they get too hot and the buds drop off.... Let me know Thank you so much in advance : ) Keriann~ |

Sounds like you have it down pretty well, lol. Watch for little green worms (caterpillars) on the undersides of the leaves too. You will need larger pot sizes after they get root bound but you have a while to go yet. You could have flowers on many by this fall if they were taken above the Y on the mother plant and some fast growing ones and grow and make a Y in that time as well. If you feed them well and often you will be pleasantly surprised. Epsom salt is good to give a tablespoon per gallon of water to help green them up if they start looking pale as well. Yes the bud drop we refer to is when they fall off before they open. Skirt drop is what we look for especially in doubles refering to if it drops down fully or stays stuffed up inside. Some of us refer to curls on the edges of the bottom of skirt twangers, lol. Welcome to the madness. |

Great, thanks for clearing all that up! Why do the buds fall off before opening? Too warm? Skirt dropping.. I will be sure not to yell that in the front yard :) ha ha ha Skirt twangers: that should be on a T-Shirt! Thank you! Keriann~ |

You could have blooms within weeks. It just depends where on the original plant the cuttings were taken from. They can drop buds from a multitude of reasons, not a good root system, temp, uneven watering, etc. I have a couple that have been dropping buds for a couple weeks now but they are still fairly small and it's been miserably hot here. Honestly I think MG products are crap but they are easy to find and cheap. I won't use them but that's me. Some people swear by them. Did you just sink the pots for your inground plants? If not you might consider doing that next year because it's much easier to lift them in the fall. You can aclimate your plants to whatever exposure you want providing you have at least a half day of full sun, preferably in the earlier part of the day. Sounds like your plants are off to a good start. Good luck. |

I agree with MG when it comes to soil or other products, but I am pleased with their 'general' fertilizer. I so stich it up a bit and feed according to individual plant needs ie; blooms, foliage, minerals ect. Wow.. weeks! how fun! I am not sure where they were cut from, I am just very thanful I received some to say the least. Cindy sent me one that was rooted and it already had a 'Y' but I am not sure if it has to make another one to bloom or that is considered the true 'Y'. Yes, I sunk 1 gallon nursery pots into the ground, I may need to pot them up one or two larger in mid summer but I think it may work for this season. Thank you for the good luck wishes! Keriann~ |

Oh thats good if you have one with a Y already it can flower soon! I misunderstood about the pot size. If you sunk the pot they don't require that large a pot the roots will travel out the holes. You will be surprised how fast they grow in the ground even in sunken pots. To make it easier do dig in the fall use pots with holes in the side near the bottom and plug the bottom hole then you can sever them with a shovel to take in for the winter more easily. Someone had a good idea to make a collar above the root ball and fill with soil then you can just cut the plant at ground level and have a rooted plant and the main rootball will send up new shoots as well depending on your zone. |

That is a great idea, thank you! I will have to modify some smaller pots for next year. I am super nervous about the fall, I have worked so hard to get these guys to root and be happy.. I am so worried I will lose some over winter. I will have to do more research so I find the best way. I think I am going to take cuttings and keep them in moss and saran wrap as well incase the main plants do not make it. Oh- I see in most pictures the legs of the plants have no leaves. Do they fall off naturally or do you pull them off in order to see the blooms better? Keriann~ |
- Posted by karyn1 MD 7 (email@example.com) on Fri, Jun 18, 10 at 11:24
You can sink very small pots and there's no need to put them in larger pots once sunk as the roots will grow out of the pot. Before sinking you should close up the bottom drainage holes and cut new holes in the sides of the pot. This facilitates digging them up in the fall as all that you need to do is take a sharp spade and cut the roots around the sides then just lift the pot. You can't leave the plants outside over the winter in your zone. |
- Posted by keriann_lakegeneva (My Page) on Sat, Jun 19, 10 at 9:56
Thanks! Yep, I am going to bring them in. I will force most into dormancy and keep a few in the greenhouse depending on the bug situation. So what about those naked legs? Keriann~ |
- Posted by karyn1 MD 7 (email@example.com) on Sat, Jun 19, 10 at 14:11
As for the bare stems it's both. Some naturally just have foliage towards the top and other times people strip the lower stem. Some brugs will grow more like a bush no matter how much you try and strip them. I bet that helped a whole lot. LOL |
- Posted by keriann_lakegeneva (My Page) on Sat, Jun 19, 10 at 20:35
That makes perfect sense. Thank you! Keriann~ |
- Posted by fool4flowers Copperas Cove, Tx 8 (email@example.com) on Sun, Jun 20, 10 at 1:32
Yes, some just lend themselves better to either a bushy form or a tree form. The ones that grow multiple root stalks and branch a lot will not make a good standard but ones with just one or up to 3 main stalks look nice just leaving the umbrella sort of look at the top. You can just run your hands down the trunk to remove the tiny leaves that form there so they won't branch in wierd places, lol. They tend to lose the older leaves anyway and a lot of people just pluck them off to make them look neater. |
Keriann, just wanted to welcome you to the brug site! Congrats on your rooted brug cuttings. |

Summertime (song)
"Summertime" is an aria composed by George Gershwin for the 1935 opera Porgy and Bess. The lyrics are by DuBose Heyward, the author of the novel Porgy on which the opera was based, although the song is also co-credited to Ira Gershwin by ASCAP.[1]
The song soon became a popular and much recorded jazz standard, described as "without doubt ... one of the finest songs the composer ever wrote ... Gershwin's highly evocative writing brilliantly mixes elements of jazz and the song styles of blacks in the southeast United States from the early twentieth century".[2] Composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim has characterized Heyward's lyrics for "Summertime" and "My Man's Gone Now" as "the best lyrics in the musical theater".[3] The song is recognized as one of the most covered songs in the history of recorded music, with more than 33,000 covers by groups and solo performers.[4]
Porgy and Bess[edit]
Gershwin began composing the song in December 1933, attempting to create his own spiritual in the style of the African American folk music of the period.[5][6] Gershwin had completed setting DuBose Heyward's poem to music by February 1934, and spent the next 20 months completing and orchestrating the score of the opera.[7]
The song is sung multiple times throughout Porgy and Bess, first by Clara in Act I as a lullaby and soon after as counterpoint to the craps game scene, in Act II in a reprise by Clara, and in Act III by Bess, singing to Clara. It was recorded for the first time by Abbie Mitchell on July 19, 1935, with George Gershwin playing the piano and conducting the orchestra (on: George Gershwin Conducts Excerpts from Porgy & Bess, Mark 56 667).
The 1959 movie version of the musical featured Loulie Jean Norman singing the song. That rendition finished at #52 in AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema.
Musical analysis[edit]
Musicologist K. J. McElrath wrote of the song:[7]
"Gershwin was remarkably successful in his intent to have this sound like a folk song. This is reinforced by his extensive use of the pentatonic scale (C-D-E-G-A) in the context of the A minor tonality and a slow-moving harmonic progression that suggests a "blues". Because of these factors, this tune has been a favorite of jazz performers for decades and can be done in a variety of tempos and styles."
Heyward's inspiration for the lyrics was the southern folk spiritual-lullaby All My Trials, of which he had Clara sing a snippet in his play Porgy.[8][9] While in his own description, Gershwin did not use any previously composed spirituals in his opera, Summertime is often considered an adaptation of the African American spiritual Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child, which ended the play version of Porgy.[9][10][11] Alternatively, the song has been proposed as an amalgamation of that spiritual and the Ukrainian Yiddish lullaby Pipi-pipipee.[12] The Ukrainian-Canadian composer and singer Alexis Kochan has suggested that some part of Gershwin's inspiration may have come from having heard the Ukrainian lullaby, Oi Khodyt Son Kolo Vikon (A Dream Passes By The Windows) at a New York City performance by Oleksander Koshetz's Ukrainian National Chorus in 1929 (or 1926).[13]
Other versions[edit]
There are over 25,000 recordings of "Summertime".[14] In September 1936, a recording by Billie Holiday was the first to hit the US pop charts, reaching no.12.[7] Other versions to make the pop charts include those by Sam Cooke (US no.81, 1957), Al Martino (UK no.49, 1960), The Marcels (US no.78, 1961), Rick Nelson (US no.89, 1962), and the Chris Columbo Quintet (US no. 93, 1963).[15][16] The most commercially successful version was by Billy Stewart, who reached no.10 on the Billboard Hot 100, and no.7 on the R&B chart in 1966;[17] his version reached no.39 in the UK.[18] In Britain, a version by the Fun Boy Three reached no.18 on the singles chart in 1982.[19] Lynda Carter covered this song on her 2009 jazz album At Last. Scottish singer and ex-Eurythmics member Annie Lennox covered "Summertime" on her album with jazz standards Nostalgia in 2014.

Rather than waiting to see if domestic migrant workers show up, more growers are using the H-2A program to make at least part of their workforce more secure, he said.
The program also provides skilled workers that are highly motivated, Gasperini said.
"After the first couple of years, even though the costs are more, the (H-2A) program becomes more profitable because of their dependability and their reliability and the productivity," he said.
Big growth
The Washington Farm Labor Association's report said the number of employers who are trying H-2A for the first time increased nearly 50% last year. Fruit crops, particularly apples and cherries, are driving demand for guest workers.
For 2014, Fazio said he expects more than 7,000 H-2A workers will be requested by Washington growers. Several new applications have been received from growers by the association, and all the members who used the program last year want to increase their commitment to the program in 2014, he said.
"What drives everything is the apple crop," Fazio said.
During the two-month window of apple harvest, growers need a dependable workforce, Fazio said.
In the past, growers turned to the H-2A program only after failing I-9 audits that match workers with their Social Security numbers, Fazio said. Now, however, larger growers have been ramping up their commitment to the H-2A program, and Fazio said the association has been working with smaller growers to help make the program more affordable by sharing workers between growers. The program also benefits foreign workers, Fazio said. While in Mexico, those workers might earn $10 per day, but by working in the H-2A program picking fruit they can earn $100 per day, he said.
Fazio said the Washington Farm Labor Association also wants to attract domestic workers to the H-2A program as well, since foreign and domestic workers can benefit. Because domestic workers must be recruited before foreign workers are hired, domestic migrant workers also can gain from a higher guaranteed wage and free housing if they sign a contract to work during a specified period, Fazio said.
Fazio and Gempler said growers hope Congress can provide them a legal domestic workforce in addition to providing a way to source foreign workers through the H-2A program or another option when needed.
NOTE ON CORRECTION: The original article incorrectly linked the Washington Farm Labor Association with a labor contractor. The association has no affiliation with the contractor.

'Bad Teacher' Red-Band Trailer
Posted on Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011 by Russ Fischer
Ah, spring. The time when young peoples' fancy turns to what they've been thinking about all winter. It's a time for red-band trailers promoting sex-themed comedies, and for those trailers to feature snippets of music by those sexy scalliwags, the Eagles of Death Metal.
In this case, the movie is Jake Kasdan's Bad Teacher, the song is 'Solid Gold,' and the content is all about Cameron Diaz proving that she's not a comedic stick in the mud. Or, at least, that she can hang with the mean kids. Check out the trailer after the break. Read More »

WrenNew York, NYHairBlondeThick or Coarse HairNot As ExpectedI ordered this flat iron after reading the great reviews. I was also excited because the temperature goes up to 450 degrees. It didn't work nearly as good as the Sedu flat iron I previously had. My hair was still a bit frizzy after ironing and I don't believe it actually went up to 450 degrees. Also, the buttons are on the side of the iron so everytime I used it, I would accidentally turn it off. Very annoying! I sent this iron back for a Sedu because that had always worked great for me in the past!posted Mar 5, 2011Link to this post

I really liked how shiny it made it though,however I did just send it back for my refund because my hair is not very curly, just thick and after about four hours after using the flat iron my hair was ratty and not very straight. Also, everytime I flat ironed I could just see the damage it was doing. Every stroke down created so much steam.
not for me.posted Feb 21, 2011Link to this post -

BriJust What I NeededI was at an interview to be hired at a salon as a hairstylist and I completely forgot to bring my flat iron for my model. The salon kindly let me use this flat iron and without any oil or hair products in the hair, this flat iron gave amazing shine to my models hair. It was awesome.posted Feb 14, 2011Link to this post
CheyanneNew OrleansHairDark BrownThick or Coarse HairGreat Performance!I always have a part of my hair in the back that's difficult to straighten, but this new straightener makes it very easy! I love the high heat functionality, which also seems to make it glide through the hair. It doesn't get caught like in some.

KateHairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairSo Sad!!My CHI of 6 years died, so I decided to try something new. Got this BaByliss and was so excited to try it. Used it once on my bangs, and I loved it; two days later, I turned it on and nothing. The digital display came on, but it was as cold as ice--I even took it all around my house to make sure there wasn't something wrong with my outlet!! This will be going back ASAP.posted Jan 29, 2011Link to this post

It helps make my hair pin straight and it stays that way!! I love it and wont even consider buying a different brand when this one wears out.posted Jan 18, 2011Link to this post
TamCharlotte NCHairLight BrownColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairLove It !!!! Great For Coarse Natural HairThis flat iron is amazing for natural hair, after I straighten my hair it last for two weeks...I've had my flat iron for three years and it still works the same. If your hair gets damage from using a flat iron then you do not know how to use one and you are doing something wrong. You should always use a heat protection and never set the temp to high for the texture of your hair or press down to hard when flat ironing your hair. Better then any other flat iron I've used. Black women the Chi doesn't even compare to this flat iron. It's worth every penny.

One-Bite Challenge: Lip Smackin' Cracklins
April 8, 2013
Nothing says the South to me quite like cracklins. Here Meathead breaks it down for us in a One-Bite Challenge like no other!
It is often said that nothing on the hog is wasted except the squeal. The bristly hairs are used for paintbrushes; the ears are used for dog treats (and people treats in some restaurants); the fat, called lard, is coveted by bakers for flaky pie crusts; pickled pigs feet are found in jars in bars and smoked trotters are used for flavoring soups; cheeks are chic in hip restaurants; intestines, called chitterlings (a.k.a. chitlins), are an acquired taste in the South, but the fatty layer streaked with muscle beneath the skin of the belly is everybody's fave, bacon; and the skins are used to make cracklins and rinds.
Cracklins are not the same as pork rinds or pork skins which are made from just the skin of the hog (see sidebar at right). Cracklins are the skin with the layer of fat beneath.
Cracklins are deeply woven in Southern culture, especially among African American and Mexican immigrants. In Puerto Rico, Mexico, and the Philippines, they're chicharrons con gasa. In New Orleans, they're called grattons. I call my radically different crispy, salty, and crunchy chunks "Gold Nuggets". No matter what you call these cousins of bacon, only chocolate is more decadent and only crack is more addictive than home made cracklins, and there is a big difference between storebought and this recipe.
My recipe is a vast improvement over store bought or any home made cracklins recipe you'll find. It is not traditional. Just better. And here's why. They are not deep fried and they won't break your teeth. They take longer, but they are worth the wait.
My Gold Nuggets are addictive when served warm and fresh as a snack with beer, perfect for watching the game. They can also be added to beans, greens, soups, stews, eggs, or as a salad topping, mixed into cornbread batter adding a tasty crunch. Here's a picture of a loaf of bread into which we baked them. Use them wherever you might add bacon. I once floated them in a cream and pumpkin soup. They. Were. Incredible.
Meathead's method
I started with the traditional recipe: Deep fry the skins and subcutaneous fat layer in oil for about 6 to 8 minutes until they are GBD (golden brown and delicious). And doubly greasy. And the skin can get really, really, hard. Like shard hard. And frying them also makes a horrible mess. They can pop and spatter all over the stove and floor. I wanted to avoid the mess, tame the hardness of the skin, and add some flavor. So, of course, I took them outside.
I decided to try to tame the hardness by pouring about an inch of water and an inch of oil in a Dutch oven and placing it on my grill. My theory was that the water would boil first and much of the fat would render out of the rind leaving softened skin and fiber until all the water boiled off and then they would fry the traditional way with the remaining oil.
Well, it almost worked. After the water boiled off after about 60 minutes at 212°F, the surface of the liquid got still as the temp rose to about 300°F and then the cubes of skin and rind started exploding. We're talking serious percussive bangs here. Pork skins flying four feet in the air followed by plumes of hot oil that burst into flame when they hit the burner. The skins bounced on my deck and drenched my grill in oil. I had to don safety glasses and my grill gloves, and when I was done, I had to power wash the deck and fend off the dog at the same time. But the cracklins were good.
So I next took a batch and boiled them in water sans the oil, and then moved them to my grill at 225°F. I put wood chips (try Kingsford Smoke House Briquets) on the burners to make smoke. Within an hour the skins turned a nice dark golden brown, but the fat remained gelatinous. So I cranked it to about 400°F to render more fat. Bingo. Killer cracklins. Crispy, chewy skin that was not painfully hard. Rich unctuous, juicy, crunchy, bacony fat, and slightly smoky meat.
The final step was to buy a whole sparerib section, skin on. This is the section from which a lot of bacon is made. I used my filet knife to remove the skin, fat, and left a thin layer of meat on. I set the ribs aside for another meal.
Meathead's Gold Nuggets Recipe
Preparation time. 2-3 hours
Pork skins with fat attached and, if possible, a little layer of meat at the bottom. You can order from a butcher or just order a raw shoulder or raw ham and specify you want it "with skin on". Do not get a cooked or spiral ham. Then cut the skin and fat layer off the meat. Leave a little meat on them if you like. I like.
The Spice Blend
1 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder or cayenne powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Do this
1) Combine the spices in a bowl.
2) If there is some hair remaining on the pig skin, burn it off with a butane lighter. Do this outside. You know what burning hair smells like. Then wipe the skin clean. The skins are hard to cut, even with a sharp knife, so put the skins in the freezer for 30 to 45 minutes and they will stiffen and be easier to cut.
3) With a sharp knife, cut the skins into strips about 1″ wide. Don't cut them into squares yet or they will fall through the grill grates into the fire. If you have a perforated pan or a mesh grate (see photo) you can cut them into squares. Otherwise, leave them as strips.
4) In a large pot, cover the skins with water and boil for about 30 minutes with the lid on. Discard the water and rendered fat. This step renders a lot of fat and breaks down the fibers that make the skin impenetrably hard.
5) Place the now puffed up strips fat side down in a smoker or grill and smoke over indirect heat at about 225°F for an hour. Then crank the heat to 400°F to render more fat for 45 minutes or more until they are GBD, but not dark brown. If you have charcoal grill, move them over direct heat and put a pan with water between the cracklins and the flames or they will make a blazing inferno. Now you have a choice. Once again, think bacon. You can cook them until they are really crispy, or you can remove them when they are still moist and juicy. You pick. Try some both ways and decide which you like best.
6) Lay some clean newspaper the counter, cover with a layer of paper towels, and dump on the cracklins. If you've done it right, there will be little grease to absorb. While they are still warm, transfer to a bowl and sprinkle liberally with the spice mix. Let them cool for about 15 minutes and cut them into squares if you cooked them as strips. Serve.
You can store them in the refrigerator in zipper bags for a week or two. After then they tend to get rancid. To reheat them, warm at 200 to 250°F in the oven or grill. But not the microwave. They can explode!

"I hate going there," says Will Oldham, who recently returned from an overseas jaunt in support of Master and Everyone, his latest release as alter ego Bonnie Prince Billy. "It's just a pain in the neck, you know? There's probably certain folk music and certain culinary items you can't get over here, but I like being here because I like being able to communicate with people. When you go around the U.S., you can talk to people at the shows. When you're over there, it's very difficult. It's very lonely when you're traveling over there."
Loneliness is a familiar realm for the man known variously as Bonnie Prince Billy, Palace, the Palace Brothers, Palace Music and Will Oldham. So is self-contradiction. For example, despite the abundance of names he uses -- which could be seen as a device to throw up walls between himself and the world rather than fostering the connections he claims to crave -- he's found a fairly consistent character standpoint from which to tell his tales. The guises change, but the themes remain: Much of the time, he sings as a solitary, flawed man trying to stave off his obsession with death by relentlessly drinking and chasing women -- and chasing love.
His search began in his native Louisville, Kentucky, in 1993, with There Is No-One What Will Take Care of You, his first full-length record under the Palace banner. Released on the heels of the well-received seven-inch "Ohio River Boat Song," the disc is an assemblage of tales of lust, booze and guilt, tinged with old-fashioned wordplay but stripped of the innocence of an earlier time. Oldham's warbling, fractured, Appalachia-stained vocals often caused people to mistake him for an old man. (A former actor who wrote plays as a child, he actually played an old man in John Sayles's 1987 film Matewan, a grim dramatization of the coal-mining labor wars of 1920s West Virginia.)
After issuing three more records as Palace -- Days in the Wake, Viva Last Blues and Arise, Therefore -- Oldham switched to his given name and released 1997's Joya, an album that solidified his low-key, Gothic Americana sound. As Bonnie Prince Billy, he gave the world one of the most unrelentingly bleak records in the history of Western music, 1999's I See a Darkness, a desolate montage of ruminations on death and the living death of loneliness. He followed that with 2001's slightly more upbeat Ease Down the Road, a record that also may have glanced off the outer edges of mortality but mostly concentrated on Oldham's other obsession: sex.
With Master and Everyone, Oldham seems to have finally found love -- or, at least, a unique sort of contentment -- and a place to stow his restlessness for a while. If Darkness is the Bonnie Prince Billy death record and Ease is his sex record, then Master is his love record.
"It definitely feels like the songs come from some kind of different place than the last two records," the notoriously guarded Oldham says. "And maybe it is from an 'inside' perspective versus an 'outside' perspective. I hear different people say different things."
Regardless of its warmer point of view, Master and Everyone is a lean affair, musically. It's easy to imagine the album being recorded in a small, bare room with wooden floors, a stained mattress in one corner and a single dirty lightbulb dangling from the ceiling. The frugal arrangements can be partly credited to the involvement of Mark Never, guitarist and engineer for avant-country band Lampchop. Oldham's voice is rendered so intimately that it sounds as if he's whispering in the listener's ear; his tales of the imperfections of love and being human are sung over simple, finger-picked guitar lines. Seemingly untouched, the straightforward recordings carry the creak of floorboards, the zing of fingers sliding up the strings and even the saliva-smack sound of Oldham opening his mouth. The songs feel effortless, airy and almost remote in comparison to Oldham's earlier work; in descriptions of the album, the word that keeps coming up on fan Web sites and in the music press is "smooth."
"That's great," Oldham says. "'Smooth,' especially if it's in writing, probably means more units moved, because people will read it and be like, 'Oh, I can handle smooth. That sounds good. Honey, let's go get this smooth record.' I'm surprised listening to some of the earlier recordings just how discordant they can sound, because at the time, they didn't sound that way at all. So probably it just comes from, the more you sing, the more control you have."
Master and Everyone may be smooth, but it is not the kind of record that can be cracked with one listen. At first blush, "Ain't You Wealthy, Ain't You Wise?" comes off as almost hymn-like, a sweet-sounding paean to love with warm harmonies and understated delivery: "Ain't you wealthy/Ain't you wise/Ain't you made to give to me/Ain't it all good/Enough to sing?" But in typical contrarian fashion, Oldham throws in one last line that negates all the warmth that came before, a sudden knife thrust that slides in smooth and cold after a series of tender, petting strokes: "It's a wondrous day to see/The joy I hold in me/While I leave."

Mary Agnes Leider, accused of throwing her toddler out of a moving pickup truck south of Hardin, denied murder charges Tuesday.
During a brief arraignment before U.S. Magistrate Judge Carolyn Ostby, Leider, 24, of St. Xavier, pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder.
Leider appeared in court earlier this month on a criminal complaint filed in the case. Second-degree murder, which is knowingly killing a person with malice aforethought, carries a maximum penalty of life in prison and a possible $250,000 fine.
Leider's daughter, Tenielle Ameryl Big Day, 3, died Dec. 3 of blunt-force trauma, Big Horn County Coroner Terry Bullis said earlier.
Court records allege that Leider, who was in the front passenger seat of her pickup truck, which was being driven by her brother, Wally Leider, opened the door and threw her daughter onto Highway 313 on the Crow Reservation.
Law enforcement officers responded to a call shortly after 4 a.m. and found Leider and her brother, Arland Leider, sitting by the side of the road and crying. Officers responding to another call on the highway about eight miles away found Wally Lieder, the dead child and Georgiana Denny, the Leiders' mother.
Wally Leider told investigators that while traveling south to St. Xavier, Mary Leider opened the passenger door and threw her daughter out. He stopped as fast as he could, removed his sister from the truck and went back down the road to where the child lay.
Mary Leider was taken to Hardin Memorial Hospital for treatment of facial abrasions and to have her blood drawn. Blood results showed her alcohol level was 0.24 percent, three times the legal limit for driving. She also gave conflicting statements about what happened.
Ostby continued Leider's detention. The case will be heard by Chief U.S. District Judge Richard Cebull.

The Island Trust hits the ground running...
- Details
- Category: Latest
- Published on Monday, 06 February 2012 12:25

Following the merger of Cremyll Sailing and The Island Trust reported last year, the new organisation, The Island Trust, has hit the ground running at the start of 2012.
Following the merger of Cremyll Sailing and The Island Trust reported last year, the new organisation, The Island Trust, has hit the ground running at the start of 2012.
The Island Trust scooped both Maritime and Coastguard Agency awards at this year's ASTO conference; the MCA Award for Safety Preparedness and Awareness, and the MCA Award for Command Commitment, presented by Captain Amir Esmiley and organised by David Ralph, both of the MCA.
Business Manager Peter Morris won the MCA Award for Command Commitment having been nominated by one of The Island Trust's own skippers. This is richly deserved after demonstrating a life long commitment to sail training. His efforts can be best recognised by the appointment for 2012 of two ASTO skippership scheme graduates; Conall Morrison and Jim Whiteford to full time skippers positions within the Trust and by fielding two candidates on this years scheme, Kate Henderson and Darren Long. Peter is an ardent supporter of the ASTO scheme and believes strongly in the growth of younger members of staff and in presenting training and opportunity to further their careers.
Operations Manager Diggory Rose, received the MCA Award for Safety Awareness and Preparedness after the crew of Moosk were interviewed at the 2011 Small Ships race. Though honoured to receive the award he said "In reality, I am personally just a figurehead; The Award reflects the hard work and conscientiousness of all our staff, in particular Conall Morrison and Tom Walker in this instance, to ensure that the trainees in our care are given the best possible sail training experience. The award is made to the boat, not the individual but the same standards of safety and education will be found on all three of our vessels"
In a further demonstration of The Island Trust's commitment, it has purchased the 1906 Gaff Yawl "Moosk" from her previous owners who leased her to the Trust.
Chief Executive Dick Lloyd said "Purchasing Moosk for ourselves safeguards her future and ensures that we have the means to continue to deliver the high quality sail training that The Island Trust has prided itself on for the last 40 years"
The Island Trust operates the Pilot Cutter "Pegasus" and the former Cremyll Sailing vessels "Moosk" and "Tectona" from it's base in Cornwall.

I am looking for a soil tester that will give me the percentages of NPK thats in my compost. I would like to spend less than $100 for it. Is this possible? |
Follow-Up Postings:
For under $100? Not a snowball's chance in hell. |
There are any number of soil testers that cost less than $100.00 and give readings in percent, but whether they are any good is the question. Few are reliable enough to be of much use, and most all of them rely on an electric current to determine soil chemicals. |
It looks like I am not really going to find an inexpensive way to get NPK readings by doing my own soil test, can anyone recommend a soil testing laboratory I could use? |
Where are you? Each states university that has an Ag school may provide that service, although some don't. The link below provides a list of them throughout the United States |
Here is a link that might be useful: USDA Cooperative Extension

You should be able to get a lot of lab analysis done before you cross the $100 mark. What kind of compost volume are you producing per year, and how many tests would you be running? In 20 years of (suburban garden) composting, I've analyzed my soil twice and my compost once. Unless there are problems occurring, I figure if I put good ingredients into the compost, good compost comes out. So far it's worked pretty well. Of course I have no idea what your operation looks like, so I'm not saying you don't need to test, just sharing my experience. |
- Posted by tropical_thought San Francisco (My Page) on Mon, Jul 21, 14 at 12:16
That was just my point on the other thread, if you put good things in and you make compost yourself, you are ok, but if you buy it somewhere and have it trucked in then you should test it before adding it, as once it is added, it is really hard to undo anything to the soil. Unless of course, someone before you, added something bad, or there was meth lab waste located in your garden. |
- Posted by toxcrusadr 5 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 21, 14 at 15:53
I think I saw that on H&G Network - "Make a Lovely Garden Meth Lab!" Seriously though, I have used a multitude of imported compost products and have never noticed any problems in the garden that I could attribute to them. I look for good appearance and aroma, and I vary the types rather than using just one source. I've never felt the need to test any and all imported compost. YMMV. |

Hudson Printing : Filling the Mid-Range Void
August 2011"That has really made our customers happy. No one has time to sit around for half a day doing press checks anymore. If we can free them up and make their jobs easier, it benefits all of us."
In addition to a more efficient production process, Hudson has also been able to improve overall quality, reduce time and cost of makeready, and work with a production platform that is much easier to operate. "And the quality has been unbelievable," he adds.
Carrero points out that the 52DI filled a hole in the company's production process. "It was one more tool in our toolbox, assuring that we could meet demand for small- to mid-sized runs that were not economically feasible with our existing toner-based or conventional offset presses. We had the firepower to do the very short runs with our digital presses, and to do large runs with our conventional presses.
"But you can't afford a two-hour makeready for those mid-range runs. It threw our costs out of whack," he adds. "Now we can address it all, from ultra-short-run work all the way up through runs of a couple hundred thousand with an extremely versatile platform."
Hudson's new configuration also allows the firm to produce projects on stocks ranging from onion skin to 24-pt., and the company is now seeing quite a bit of demand for heavy posters and special mailers that use these thicker stocks. Carrero cites a confectioner that wanted to produce giveaways for its stores using 24-pt., and notes that he has found more opportunities to produce shelf-talkers and other point-of-sale materials.
He attributes at least 30 percent of Hudson Printing's growth in 2010 directly to its new investments "In addition, just having something this new to talk about with customers and prospects opened more doors for us, whether or not they ultimately had a need for those specific capabilities.
"We are prepared for the economic upturn. If I had one word of advice for my peers, it would be—don't sit back and wait. Make those investments now, if you can." PI

Lexham English Bible (LEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen who are residing temporarily in the dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, | 1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To God's elect, strangers in the world, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia, |
2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and [for] sprinkling with the blood of Jesus Christ. May grace and peace be multiplied to you. | 2 who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by his blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance. |
3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, | 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, |
4 into an inheritance imperishable and undefiled and unfading, reserved in heaven for you | 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade--kept in heaven for you, |
5 who are being protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time, | 5 who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. |
6 in which you rejoice greatly, [although] now for a short time, if necessary, you are distressed by various trials, | 6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. |
7 so that the genuineness of your faith, more valuable than gold that is passing away, but is tested by fire, may be found to [result in] praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ, | 7 These have come so that your faith--of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire--may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. |
8 whom, [although you] have not seen, you love; in whom now you believe, [although you] do not see [him], and you rejoice greatly with joy inexpressible and full of glory, | 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, |
9 obtaining the goal of your faith, the salvation of [your] souls. | 9 for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. |
10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace meant for you sought and made careful inquiry, | 10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, |
11 investigating for what [person] or which time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating [when he] testified beforehand to the sufferings with reference to Christ and the glories after these [things], | 11 trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. |
12 to whom it was revealed that they were serving not themselves but you with reference to the same [things] which now have been announced to you through those who proclaimed the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, {things into which} angels desire to look. | 12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things. |
13 Therefore, {when you have prepared your minds for action} [by] being self-controlled, put your hope completely in the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. | 13 Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. |
14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former desires [you used to conform to] in your ignorance, | 14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. |
15 but as the one who called you [is] holy, [you] yourselves be holy in all [your] conduct, | 15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; |
16 for it is written, "You will be holy, because I [am] holy." | 16 for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy." |
17 And if you call on [him] [as] Father who judges impartially according to each one's work, conduct yourselves with fear during the time of your temporary residence, | 17 Since you call on a Father who judges each man's work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear. |
18 [because you] know that you were redeemed from your futile way of life inherited from your ancestors not with perishable things like silver or gold, | 18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, |
19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like [that of] an unblemished and spotless lamb | 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. |
20 who was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has been revealed in these last times for you | 20 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. |
21 who through him [are] believing in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. | 21 Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God. |
22 Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for sincere brotherly love, love one another fervently from the heart, | 22 Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart. |
23 [because you] have been born again, not from perishable seed but imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. | 23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. |
24 For "all flesh [is] like grass, and all its glory like the flower of the grass. The grass withers and the flower falls off, | 24 For, "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, |
25 but the word of the Lord endures {forever}." And this is the word that has been proclaimed to you. | 25 but the word of the Lord stands forever." And this is the word that was preached to you. |

to VMK:
This is the second time I've tried to reach you guys, and I must say, you should drop that "we'll respond in 24 hours" since I've yet to see it.
I had chosen the vmk game name, "Tampa", a name that I'm well known with on numerous disney sites, and non-disney sites to where I do a GREAT job getting people interested in the game. I even help people find hidden mickey's by clues, I've helped people get their firework pins many times, and am working on playing my 200th mix and 100th pirate win. I even run WDW question games in my guest room and lead winners to a skull rock room to pick out a prize.
As you can see I spend plenty of time, and now money with the purchase of gold ears and visiting the park more to go on quests, in order to play your game to the fullest.
And now my name "Tampa" has been taken from me with no warning. This is a huge disappointment considering it has been accepted since the first day. And not to mention my friends from the game, disney sites, and non-disney sites cannot find me. And playing VMK games has become disenchanthing, becase I no longer (or my friends) see my name in games. I've even seen some comment things like, "I wonder where #### went? Wow! Even his id is gone!"
I understand that my name describes a real location and you guys don't care for that, but it is my internet name, and really, nothing else will do. When I got the message to change it, I put in "TampaJoe" as a hopeful comprimise, but again I plead with you, please don't change my title, for my sake, and for my friends that I get involved with vmk.
Thank you and I really hope to hear a response, "Tampa" Joe.

Side Projects or Band Members section
They need to have an entire section devoted to the side projects.
From there they have individual boards for Albert, Nickel Eye, Little Joy, and Julian.
They can just have a section where each band member (and maybe Ryan too) can have his own respective thread about anything related to that person (side project, TV Appearance, romantic news, or anything else people talk about). For example, the post in the General Discussion about Albert's new house would go in the Albert thread instead.
just ideas.

I got an Edgeworthia 'Ake Bono' for a steal this summer. I've read they don't like to be moved. Should I plant it now or wait until it's gone dormant? I potted it up when I bought it, so there should be plenty of room in the pot. I've also read that it wants full sun, a western exposure, and afternoon shade. What does it want here in the Seattle area? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Akebono is one word and means daybreak or dawn etc. Edgeworthia tends to be slightly tender and should have a warm nook. There is probably some variation in hardiness, it seems the bigger-leaved forms that have been on the market are probably more delicate than the older, smaller-leaved type that was around to a limited extent here before these came on the market. At the Seattle arboretum it was growing in a frame, although during the years I new the specimen I don't think the frame was being covered anymore. It is true that the biggest specimen of one of the big-leaved forms I have seen was growing in the open, across the lane from the house, at Lakewold Gardens. It was near the lawn but the site does have stands of trees around it. There was some kind of problem that made me think it might fail, something like a Hellacious mite infestation and maybe something else going on as well - I don't remember it specifically now. I've also seen a row of low-pruned, almost tuft-like ones in a narrow curbside bed, think this was at Seattle University. Good blooming with this treatment seems doubtful. |
"New" should be knew. Obviously. |
i have an edgeworthia that i have moved every year. it doesn't seem to mind much except that it requires a fair amount of extra water, even beyond what i would expect from keeping its roots relatively small. that might be where its reputation started. i grow mine in full shade with some moments of dappled shade. |

Simply put, my Players have their eyes on becoming Inquisitors, Primaris Psykers, Crusaders, and Vindicare Assassins. They have been reading and gearing themselves towards that goal ever since Rank 3.
They are Rank 5 currently.
Now beyond the obvious 'Don't run Ascension,' or 'Convince them not to play Ascension' arguments, I would like to know before hand what I can do to try and fix some of the glaring holes with Ascension I've read about on this forum with House Rules and I would like your suggestions and help.
I've read that the Vindicare Assassin and Primaris Psyker are loads of poor implementation of rules and that in general Ascension level characters become extremely powerful and mow down foes physically with ease.
Some suggestions I've thought of for these problems are:
1) Vindicare:
- Can't Dodge Hordes
- Can't Dodge or Use Special Abilities/Talents when in Armour above 7 Points that is not the Vindicare special armour
2) Primaris Psyker
- Can't Overbleed when Fettered, only when Unfettered or Pushing
Anything else I've missed from Ascension or good House Rules you have used as GM's in the past to make it workable?

Hi there,
I moved into my new house this week and it's right in the heart of garden season but I fear too late for a lot of things. For example, I"d like to plant some sunflowers, and have read they are 90 days to maturity. What does everyone think though, if I live in the east bay area where it says warm (70s) until mid to late October? Of course if I could have started earlier, I would have, but can I plant things that take 3 months at this point here in zone 9? Many thanks. I have tons of sun and space to work with. |

Yes, you can plant sunflowers, cosmos, and amaranth. You may be able to do zinnias- maybe someone else knows about those. I plant amaranth and cosmos every year at this time. Smaller sunflowers usually take less time to bloom. Renee |
Lots of what you are looking for you may be able to find in four inch pots. They will cost 3 or4 dollars but will save from 6 to 8 weeks growing time. Al |

Arizona Golden Retriever Connection needs your help. Please read the whole post. Today our shelter walker, Dana, went to the Westside shelter to check on a possible Golden Retriever. There was Mandie, a 6 year old Golden Retriever whose owner had passed away and Mandie had been turned into the shelter. The story continues with not only Mandie being turned in but her best pal, Gypsy, an 8 year old Weimaraner, AND Merlin a 12 year old cat. Arizona Golden Retriever Connection could not just take the Golden Retriever and leave the rest of her family at the shelter so we took all three. We are desperately looking for a foster or forever family for all three or at the least Mandie and Gypsy staying together. Please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com if you would consider fostering or adopting. You would still have to go through the approval process but we would fast track the application. Please share with your friends that might be interested in helping this fur family stay together. They have lost their owner and their home and need to get out of Boarding and start putting their lives back together

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