TUCSON - A cool start to the day, with the Tucson International Airport recording a low temperature of 34° this morning. Santa Cruz and Cochise Counties woke up to subfreezing temperatures and some patchy fog.
High temps remain on track to reach the upper 50's this afternoon under mostly sunny skies. Fringes of Metro Tucson may drop to the freezing mark overnight, with mid 30's possible for downtown, Marana and Oro Valley.
Models continue to show our late week storm system staying just to our north, bringing a slight chance of mountain rain/snow Friday afternoon. Warmer weather returns early next week.
Chief Meteorologist Matt Brode will have your full True View 4 forecast tonight on News 4 at 4, 5, 6 and 10.

These 5 plants have sat out in the yard in the tray right threw the winter. They've been buried in the snow 4 times, once to 4 feet. They stayed the same size they are now. So in Honor of their survival I place them in they're own Squad |
Follow-Up Postings:
Those are some hardy plants. I'd hate to chew their stalks. |
Ain't that the truth. But and this is the saving grace. We won't have to chew them . Just think on the leaf matter it will produce. |

The Soho Grand Hotel black goldfish is an option for hotel guests who might be craving companionship during their stay. Their website says, "If travelers cannot bring their pets, the Soho Grand offers surrogate animal companionship in the form of goldfish in your guestroom."
This is a cute idea, having a little black goldfish to keep you company when you face loneliness in your hotel room, but what happens when you grow attached? Is this something that's easy to steal like the towels?

I have long thick eyebrows to begin w/ but I do have bald spots (tmi) and this brush really saves me when I'm too lazy to spend a lot of time doing my brows. The hairs are not as firm as other brow brushes so it's good for lightly filling in brows w/ powder. I love how thick and long the hairs are so I can do my brows in less than a minute. I use my lightest brow powders when I use this brush to keep them from looking like caterpillars. Its great for grooming brows are blending out if I've made them too dark. For $100 though I expected it not to shed but it does sometimes, only when I wash it. I don't regret purchasing it because it does a great job in little time but if you want a cheaper alternative get the Royal & Langnickel Silk Pro Brow Shaper C550! I think everyone should have one. I'll do a review on it.

Blame the ubiquitous hum of country music (guitar-wielding singers are everywhere, from airport bars to downtown street corners), but we fell hard for this Southern capital's rugged denim spots, indie record stores and—yep—vintage cowboy-boot dealers.
Grimey's New & Preloved Music
If your only references for culty indie music shops are Empire Records and High Fidelity, you need to visit this beloved store, jam-packed with thousands of LPs and staffed by hardcore music nerds (sans Rex Manning).
1604 Eighth Ave. S., 615-254-4801, grimeys.com
H. Audrey
There isn't a Barneys or Bergdorfs in Nashville, but Holly Williams—daughter of music legend Hank Jr.—fills the void with her two-story shop, which offers a department-store-style range of J Brand jeans, Rick Owens leather jackets and Clare Vivier clutches.
4027 Hillsboro Pike, Ste. 703, 615-760-5701, haudrey.com
This airy boutique carries Matta embroidered tunics, Susana Monaco maxi dresses and chunky turquoise necklaces—basically, your perfect beach vacation wardrobe.
2209 Bandywood Dr., Ste. H, 615-292-9399, facebook.com/habitboutique
I See London
This dreamy lingerie boutique nestled next to Habit (the two shops share a space and an owner) sells sweet underwear for every occasion—from Hanky Panky boy-shorts for lounging to Eberjey lace bralettes for honeymooning.
2209 Bandywood Dr., Ste. G, 615-292-9399, facebook.com/habitboutique
Imogene + Willie
From the outside, it looks like a dilapidated gas station. Inside, it's the HQ for Matt and Carrie Eddmenson's vintage-inspired, loved-by-cool-kids jeans, all designed, custom-tailored and sold on-site.
2601 12th Ave. S., 615-292-5005, imogeneandwillie.com
Old Made Good
Two DIY-minded girlfriends—one restores '50s armchairs, the other turns antique coins into pendant necklaces—launched this store for homemade creations, vintage housewares, and witty cards. In 2013, they expanded to a 2,500 square foot space and did what any sensible people would do: covered every inch of the floor in gold glitter.
3701B Gallatin Pike, 615-432-2882, oldmadegood.com
Goodbuy Girls
This teeny vintage spot specializing in gently worn cowboy boots is the perfect place for your "when in Nashville" purchase. Our pick: a red '70s pair—though some white-fringed Dolly Parton–esque ones were seriously tempting.
1108 Woodland St., 615-281-9447, goodbuygirlsnashville.com
Wonders on Woodland
Shopping this rambling East Nashville Victorian-turned–antiques shop is like exploring Grandma's frozen-in-time house—if Grandma had saved all the right retro things ('70s ceramic lamps, '50s board games, '60s wrought-iron patio chairs).
1110 Woodland St., 615-226-5300
Local Honey
The coolest part about this Hillsboro vintage-mixed-with-new-stuff boutique: The new stuff—White Rabbit tunics, Ren feather earrings—is all made by young, independent Nashville designers.
2009 Belmont Blvd., 615-915-1354, facebook.com/localhoneynashville
Peter Nappi
This year-old leather-goods line is located in an abandoned Germantown meatpacking plant that's really hard to find. So activate your GPS—the handstitched boots and buttery totes are worth the hunt.
1308 Adams St., 615-248-3310, peternappi.com
The Cosmetic Market
Picture Sephora—then add a heaping dose of Southern charm. This beauty megastore features Lorac and Stila makeup counters, a salon, a candy counter and Southern-belle saleswomen who couldn't be friendlier.
4015 Hillsboro Pike, plus other locations, 615-298-7759, thecosmeticmarket.com
The Trunk
Riding the food-truck wave, this new boutique sells hip gifty items (Seraphine pyrite chokers, Seamless clutches) out of a converted UPS-style truck.
Check Facebook for location, 407-497-4631, thetrunknashville.com

@Keeley - Jennifer is an awesome sewing teacher!!! I don't sew a lot, but what I do sew is because of Jennifer and taking classes from her!
@Jennifer - That turtle is unbelievably cute!!! I LOVE it! And I would love to learn how to make button holes on that shirt. Well, maybe I would practice on something else first :-) - April 30, 2011 at 4:12 AM

Thank you Margaret! I don't think that's true but thank you! You totally made my day:)
Mrs. Barr: I have thought about it! I hated teaching classes at the store in Stuttgart but have thought about doing one-on-one with ladies in the community. Are you serious about taking classes? I'll email you!
Corinnea: you now how long it took to make that Turtle?? So I'm not sure anyone would want to buy one with what I'd have to charge. Unless I got faster ...and the 2nd one would go faster since I have the kinks worked out...We'll see...:)Thanks for the encouragement! - April 30, 2011 at 11:05 AM

After raining mockery down on the likes of David Eckstein and just about every other scrappy white baseball player who wears high socks and a dirty uniform, we sometimes forget that there are a couple of really, really good baseball players who illicit praise for their appearance and supposed quantities of heart as much as for their talent.
Most notable among those select few is New York Yankees left fielder Brett Gardner who not only steals bases like Pac Man munches pixelated dots, but also avoids outs at a rate among the best in baseball. His walk rate is above average, his strike out rate is below average and since the beginning of last season he's contributed more to his team defensively than Ichiro!, Michael Cuddyer and Alfonso Soriano have contributed with their respective bats and gloves.
As if he hasn't already done enough harm to the bats of his opposition, Gardner is now punishing his own wooden sticks.

I'm still pinching myself, thankful as I can be, that I've been blessed to be a young adult author. Life is so full of twists and turns that you never know where a road might lead you. Just think about it. I went to college to become a pediatrician, but ended up majoring in writing instead. Good thing because I absolutely did not have what it took to be an MD. I won't give you the details here—we'll talk about that when I visit your school or group. But know this: you would not want me to be your doctor! That's cool with me, because being a young adult author is the best, most marvelous, most incredible thing to ever happen to me in life, besides giving birth to my daughter, Brittney.
I have written many books and received numerous awards and recognitions. You may read about them under the books section of this site. However, there's one thing you should know—authors are more than the books they write and the recognitions they receive. We're people too. For instance, I'm a mom as well as a daughter. I was raised in Philadelphia and have two older sisters, two older brothers and a younger brother, who by the way used to have tea parties with me when we were young. I was shy growing up, but I'm over most of that now. I'm still a little bit quirky though, so if you're ever in Pittsburgh and see me walking in my neighborhood trying to catch raindrops on my tongue, or laying in the snow chilling out, don't worry. I'm just being me.
Okay. What else? I like music—rap, elevator lite, country (oh yeah I said country), and gospel. I believe in giving back and helping out so I'm always up to something good I hope—which doesn't make me perfect, but does make me like myself a little better. I am an inner city girl and I still live in the inner city, but there's something about seeing cows and chickens, barns and corn growing that I like a lot too. When I was young I wanted to own a pig and an elephant. I was deprived—I never got either. But I did get a lot of love, laughter and great story telling from my parents and older relatives.
I am a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, with a degree in English. I once was a house parent for youth placed temporarily in shelters. I also worked with young people in a foster care program for about eight years, and then I skipped off to work for the University of Pittsburgh where they really believed me when I said I could write press releases and do public relations. I spent eighteen years at Pitt—some of the best years of my life by the way. While there, I wrote The Skin I'm In, but not on their time—I don't think. Several years ago I left the University in order to become a full-time author. Now I work from home in my PJs or two-day old clothing.
Well, I'm sure that's more than you want to know. But it's me—some parts of me anyhow. If you need to know more, there's tons written about me on the internet. Otherwise you may always e-mail me, but know this, I won't do anyone's homework. But I will e-mail you back and be as helpful as I can.
Hope. Dream. Believe. I do!
I am the author of six books:
I was born in Philadelphia, PA, and have resided in Pittsburgh, PA, for thirty years.
I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 1978, with a B.A. in English.
I was once a house parent, a counselor with youth placed in foster care, and a public relations representative. You may read about me and my work as an author in the following publications: The Kids' Book Club Book, The Ninth Book of Junior Authors and Illustrators, and Something About The Author (Volume 166).

I finally got my 'from chile to bonsai' guide finished, here it is:
http://www.fatalii.net/growing/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=95&Itemid=105 -J
Here is a link that might be useful: Chile to bonsai -guide
Follow-Up Postings:
great looking plants J you got the bonsai thumb dan LET IT BURN |
- Posted by smokemaster_2007 (My Page) on Mon, Nov 26, 07 at 9:49
Cool. Bhut Jolokia would be a good pepper to Bonsai. You only need a few pods at a time because of their heat and a small plant might produce a constant supply of fresh ones year round when grown indoors. |
- Posted by fatalii.net (My Page) on Mon, Dec 3, 07 at 4:04
The ones with a tiny pods look cool, like small apples on a tree or something! :) BTW. it's a good idea to give some extra light for the stem before cutting the plant down. Just to get some fresh leaves out there before cutting the plants. |

Cohabitation of a man and a woman without the full sanctions of legal marriage. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, the term concubine has been generally applied exclusively to women; Western studies of non-Western societies use it to refer to partners who are sanctioned by law but lack the status of full wives. See also common-law marriage; harem; polygamy.

I think this addon is booming right now, after the success of PMDG NG series..And the good thing is iFly has made an options in configuration setting by allowing users to choose and set the eyebrow setting and winglet setting..especially in the near future ifly will launch an ER series of Boeing 737-700 and 900 even there are still a few bugs in their product. iFly managed to satisfy FS2004 users desires to fly 737-900 with winglets. Because for now on the only 737-900ER for FS2004 only produced by Ariane, which we'll have to pay for the repaint texture…(gimme a break!).
The paintkit is quite interesting, but there is little constraint on the paintkit, I found asymmetrical lines between the left and right sides of the fuselage so shis makes it difficult for repainters to connect between tail section to body and body to belly section on each sides..If the left side is connected so the right side is not connected. Do you get wadda mean? it's ok, forget it…:)
Okay now about this aircraft..Garuda indonesia also phasing out their classic series with Boeing 737-800 NG series. This plane with registration PK-GMF delivered on December 2009. And for now Garuda Indonesia already has over 30 of Boeing 737-800 NG in their fleet.
Enough for the stories and lets flyyyy with the iFly (Do i'll get money by saying this??..hahaha)! Move your ass to Download page and enjoy it!

Greetings -- I'm in the NoVa area and received the following quote for a new Lennox HVAC system. The home is a rental unit - a 4-level town home. I'm wondering if the quote -- $7200, including rebate -- is reasonable. The firm will honor the recently expired Lennox rebate if installed before Sep 10. If after, they tell me that Lennox will have a new rebate but I will have to wait 6-8 weeks for a check from Lennox.
Thanks in advance for any replies. -One Lennox SL280UH090XV48B (80% AFUE/88,000 BTU Input), 2 stage gas valve, variable speed blower, gas furnace.
Installation To Include:

What is size of rental town home? What is size of existing furnace and AC? Town home is detached or shares common walls with other units? Why the more expensive XC17 and not the XC14? Any air filter cabinet? Post back. IMO |

Any heating and cooling issues with existing equipment? A few suggestions. I would want a whole house air filter cabinet especially for rental unit. No need for the more expensive XC17 condenser, go with the. XC14. You need a true two stage thermostat with that furnace. Thermostat should control the staging, not timer on furnace control board. Discuss with dealer. IMO |

XC14. >You need a true two stage thermostat with that furnace. Thermostat should control the staging, not timer on furnace control board. Discuss with dealer. Thanks for all of your feedback. Does the pricing look right? |

How many returns do you have now? At least one on each floor? How do you filter your return air now? Here are the the advantages to a whole house air filter cabinet. And probably the most important, you don't have to rely on renters to change 1" filters on a regular basis which they are notorious for failing to perform this chore which can cause expensive service calls to correct. The filters in whole house media cabinet last up to one year. Put it on your calendar and give them the filter to replace. Changeout is easy and quick. As to thermostat, you should discuss with dealer. There are several good models to choose from including WR and HW. Not certain about the Lennox. You definitely do not want a timer controlling the staging but rather the thermostat based on demand. This is not an area to take a cheap shortcut like many dealers do and homeowners aren't educated enough to know the difference. Pricing seems reasonable. Suggest competitive quotes from another dealer though. IMO |
Thank you so much tigerdunes, your advice makes eminent sense. Appreciate the time you put in here. |

I assume the renters pay gas and electric? |
They do. You are suggesting I am a skinflint landlord by not installing a more efficient system? I haven't talked to the dealer about a higher efficiency unit but I would likely run afoul of the HOA if I have to exhaust through the wall. And I am trying to keep costs -- and subsequent rent increases -- down while providing a durable system that frees me from weekend calls. Don't know if I'm there yet. |
- Posted by tigerdunes (My Page) on Wed, Sep 5, 12 at 12:38
Usually HOA covenants for condos and Town Homes restrict gas furnaces to 80% eff non condensing models. Daniel is on the correct path. Daniel, you might want to get a price on a Lennox Ext warranty to cover labor costs for any problem encountered the first 10 yrs. Usually the cost is about 10% of the purchase cost of new system. Price can be negotiated with some dealers. I have mixed opinions on these warranties and their worth. Depends on what kind of peace of mind you like versus spending more bucks. IMO |
- Posted by cindywhitall (My Page) on Thu, Sep 6, 12 at 13:24
I actaully meant that if the landlord pays the bills he might want higher efficiency. There may be some renters who look at efficiency, but probably not many. A new reliable system should be good for most renters. What will happen with condos etc in the north when the law requires high eff? The hvac companies should be marketing to those complexes now to tell the owners they might want to be replacing older units now to avoid added expense and hassle later. |

More tablets and on different operating systems
It sounds obvious, but 2013 should see not only an increasing number of tablets in business, what also of these being increasingly split between iOS, Android and Windows 8.
Indeed, when Gartner recently detailed its top 10 strategic technology trends for 2013, mobile device battles was right in the mix.
Furthermore, recent research from the company suggests that business purchases of tablets will more than triple from 13 million units in 2012 to 53 million by 2016, with Windows 8 taking a 39% stake at the end of that time frame.
Plus with Android 4.1 now bringing useful business features like multi-user sign and supporting the provisioning of internal business apps, there are signs that Google isn't about to throw away any further advantage to Apple and the iPad anytime soon.
True enterprise content creation on tablets
"This is the start of the realization [for tablet's being used to create content in business]," said ScrollMotion CEO Josh Koppel.
"We're going to see companies want to offer touch-content to their teams and to do it themselves. They don't need an agency to build the tools for them."
More enterprise app stores
A report from one research firm at Apps World in London earlier this year put enterprise app stores generally fairly low down the list of IT priorities, but this could change in 2013.
2012 after all has seen HP, Lenovo and SAP roll out enterprise app stores, a plethora of MDM vendors offer them to clients as standard and even one analyst reckon Apple could release custom enterprise version of the official App Store going forward.
Research giant Gartner adds to all this by believing that most organizations will deliver mobile apps to workers via private application stores starting from 2013 but progressing to 2014.
Faster product life cycles
There is the view that trends such as consumerization (and with that BYOD) are pushing enterprise and business away from multi-year device lifecycles.
"Gone are the days of yearlong sales cycles, lengthy POCs and 12-18 month implementation plans," says Vineet Jain, CEO of cloud file sharing provider Egnyte.
"Enterprises will have to catch up to the craziness caused by BYOD, BYOW, and all the other acronyms that crowded 2012. And what's more, IT will have to do it at warp speeds or get lost in the ether."
Businesses to increasingly push out internal and external mobile apps
Forget the days of 'gimmick' apps or of workers purely relying on consumer offerings, enterprise developer Mubaloo recently explained that internal and external mobile apps for business will be in trend in 2013.
"An increasing number of businesses are preparing a suite of apps, both for internal and customer purposes," said Mubaloo's CEO Mark Mason.
"I think that this is really the end of the [app] gimmick and that we'll see 2013 as the start when businesses really start to understand the value of apps."
Windows 8 to force the introduction of HTML5 mobile apps
Industry professionals believe that the arrival of Windows 8 could see businesses concentrate on HTML5 apps, in order to deliver applications cross platform at a much reduced cost.
Adding weight to this theory was Mobile App Management vendor Apperian. "There will be a shift to HTML5 apps because companies will say 'It was OK when he had two operating systems but supporting a third is just crazy'," said the firm's Alan Murray, SVP of products.
PC-like governance on the use of tablets in business
Tablets for now may have been restricted to relatively minor roles within organizations, but Apperian's Murray thinks that the rise of devices like the iPad will force businesses to introduce PC-like compliance on how these goods are used.
"We're in conversations with folks around what compliance looks like, and how they can measure and enforce compliance. They have to recognize that this is a post-PC world where there is as much high-sensitive data on tablets as on PCs."
The cloud is everywhere
Researchers appear to agree that the cloud will become the 'center of our digital lives' in 2013, housing our apps, content and preferences and making devices generally less important.
Indeed, the Yankee Group says that over 50% of companies will look to cloud for their mobile app deployments in 2013, with software-as-a-service (SaaS) leading the way.
"Demand‐side pressures and supply‐side innovations are accelerating enterprise deployments of mobile applications in the cloud. Next year, the majority of enterprises will be deploying their applications using software‐as‐a‐service (SaaS), as opposed to on‐premises software," read the company's predictions report.
Surprises: Two new iPads, $99 tablets and Microsoft helping out developers
Life is always full of surprises and they will almost certainly continue to be the case for tablets and mobile computing in business in 2013.
For smartphones we're likely to see the arrival of the iPhone 6, new phones running BlackBerry 10 and the continuing presence of Android vendors from a mix of vendors.
On the tablet side, there could be two new iPads, $99 tablets from Asus and Acer, and the first Nokia tablet, while one researcher (Yankee Group) even reckons Microsoft could cut its 30% developer fee to boost Windows 8 app development.

As I write this, I'm sipping coffee from my local coffee shop. I walked past two chains for this cup. Why? Thanks to the strong Think Local First campaign here in Santa Cruz, when I need to buy something, I find myself thinking, "What is the locally-owned option?" I didn't always think this way. Often, I used to assume the big chain store was going to have the best price and selection. I wasn't really thinking at all. I was on consumer autopilot.
Then these stickers featuring our city's landmark lighthouse and Think Local First started appearing on the doors and windows of downtown shops and restaurants. Seeing the badge, I found myself thinking about that real person, the fellow member of my community who owns that business. Before, it had just been another store, another option.
Over the 2011 holiday season, the Think Local First organizers put together a strong campaign declaring a peak week of holiday shopping season, Local Holiday Shopping Week. It was everywhere—from newspapers to social media feeds. Downtown had a particularly festive air that week as resident retailers held special events. Community and connection were strong enough motivators for me to take their think local suggestion, but when I started learning the specifics of the economic impact these kinds of campaigns can have, I made shopping local my top spending priority all year.
I sat down with Karl Heiman and Michael Olson, two organizers of Santa Cruz's Think Local First campaign. Heiman explained that the biggest economic impact chain stores impose is the "dollar leakage," i.e. the tendency of most of dollars spent at national chain stores to leave the community. Study after study reveals similar results. A 2011 report out of Portland, Maine found that $100 spent in locally owned stores yielded $58 to the community versus $33 from national chains.
Where big box revenue tends to drain from the neighborhood and out of the state to corporate offices and non-local suppliers, revenue from local stores is likely to keep circulating close by as they rely on local vendors and utilize local services for banking, accounting, repair, Internet and advertising. Meanwhile, the primary contribution back to the community in a national chain store is simply the wages and benefits paid to employees.
Another of the biggest economic benefits to a vibrant vicinity lined with independent stores is the strong tax base and savings in infrastructure and services to local governments. Independent businesses tend to set up shop in existing structures, such as downtowns, and make more efficient use of already existing public services. Meanwhile, big box stores often require development of outlying real estate, necessitating new service infrastructures like roads and utilities. Some local governments, including Santa Cruz and those above us in Washington, place so much value on supporting homegrown operations that they have established a 5 percent leeway for local businesses bidding on government projects. In other words, if a local business comes within 5 percent more than an outside bid, officials may choose local even though it's not the lowest. The project generates more community jobs and the state gets the tax benefits of the related sales.
Recirculation of dollars is only one way independently owned businesses create a solid economic foundation for a community—these are the real job creators who not only generate opportunities within, but make employment possible all along their supply and service chain. They also help bring in tourist dollars. When people travel, they want to go to somewhere, not just anywhere.
They want to experience the unique character of a place, have the signature dish, ride that terrain, see that particular style of artisans work.
So much so that one box retailer is attempting to craft such a scenario in their stores. I just saw an ad for a new department called The Shops at Target, a concept that plucks products from small businesses around the country and incorporates them in the mix for a "unique hometown shop- ping experience." Even Target recognizes the value in a little local flavor.
With the holiday shopping season coming up, now is the time to start focusing on a shop local campaign in your area. If one already exists, it is likely run by very dedicated and overworked volunteers who will be thrilled for more support. Get involved. One credit card company may be able to help.
The big stores have Black Friday. The online merchants have Cyber Monday. American Express felt locally owned businesses needed a day (Nov. 24, 2012, smallbusinesssaturday.com), too. Because so many of its customers are independent business owners, American Express wanted to encourage holiday shoppers to spend at least some of their dollars with locally owned retailers. In doing so, the company provides proprietors with tools, such as signage and social media strategies, to market Small Business Saturday in their area. In past years, customers who spent $25 at local independent retailers on this day received a $25 credit on their statement. Stay tuned for this year's incentives.
If your area still needs leadership in educating consumers on the positive impact shopping local can have on their community, here's an overview on how to get started. For the nitty-gritty, visit American Independent Business Alliance (AMBIA) and Business Alliance for Local Living Communities (BALLE).
1) Learn about all the benefits of shop local programs. I only have room for the tip of the iceberg in this article. There is enough information on the subject for BALLE to host an annual five-day conference.
2) Don't reinvent the wheel. Many communities across the country have done it. Google "shop local" and sites for campaigns all over the country come up. Check out programs in communities similar to yours to find out what's working for them.
3)Find the leaders. Shop local programs tend to start with a group of 4–5 people passionate about and dedicated to the cause. Find these people. It may be they just don't know it yet. Start sharing what you learn about the power of shop local campaigns.
4) Brand it well. Your campaign needs a great slogan, short and sweet that pops up in people's minds when they shop the way that Santa Cruz's "Think Local First" does for me. Create a logo that tugs at residents' sense of place.
5) Define your membership. What does local mean to your campaign? In Santa Cruz, franchises are not included.
6) Create your campaign kit. Your welcome wagon for business joining your alliance. Their window decal, flyers for customers, etc.
7) Set a kickoff event. A rally, an economic barn raising for the community, a big event letting people know about your mission.
8) Build the community. The fun of the kickoff event is just the beginning. It takes a whole village to create an effective shop local campaign, the best of which are those that form an alliance of businesses that work together to educate and engage consumers, local media and government leadership.
Shop local campaigns are, I think, the most successful strategy for local communities to recover from the economic turmoil, inoculate against future downturns and shift from mere survival to economic thrival. As Heiman points out, "Local business owners are the glue of the community." AOB

December 11, 2012
This morning greeted me with a long anticipated email, a quick note from the mail center explaining I had a package to pick up. The postman had delivered to Hamilton a humble box with my address emblazoned across the top; none could have guessed the contents that waited inside. Gladly, I strode to the package window and received my mail.
Inside the box was an assortment of scattered items I forgot at home over the Thanksgiving holiday—some old shirts, a hefty handful of socks, but most importantly, my water bottle. This blue and white Hamilton Nalgene has been the object of all my longing over the past three weeks.
I have been forced to walk awkwardly from water fountain to water fountain, taking minute-long drinks from the stream and forming quite a line behind me. I used a measuring cup as a mug, filling it from the faucet and carrying it back to my desk to sip from. The whole time, the lost form of my water bottle haunted my memory.
But now everything is back to normal; my old compatriot is reunited with his home.
My misery, however, was slightly assuaged by the compassion of other Hamilton students who recognized my plight. They understood the water bottle was a form of identity, part and parcel of my life as a student. Losing the Nalgene was losing a mainstay of my (still brief) Hamilton College career.
I've witnessed water bottles on the Hill decorated with stickers from our student-run radio station WHCL, from Opus cafe and from the Campus Activities Board (CAB). I've seen names brushed in white-out and colored sharpie. I once saw a Nalgene covered on all sides by fluorescent yellow tape.
Mine is a simple, plain Hamilton Nalgene. No frills, no designs, though there is a series of white scratches on the side from dropping it down the stairs; it was quiet and dignified. It held my seat when I left the room, it complemented my cluttered desk, and most importantly, it quenched my thirst whenever I wanted it.
It's good to be reunited.

I planted this plumb tree last fall. I did no soil amendment other then compost in to mulch. I dug twice the width of the pot(5ft), and dug a 3inX6in trench around the perimeter. It's planted quite literally in rock(backfilled with top soil). We have webworm here but they pretty well stick to the elms. I've picked two webworm "egg sacks" off the tree. Leaves were fine until it got cold. Leaves fell off like normal, now has three new growth branches, healthy looking green limbs and leaves. I don't know anything about fruit trees. I planned to thin the tree back this spring. Why are the branches exploding? I would say 80% of all(big and small) branches have this... design? I've spent roughly 10 hours browing pictures and reading but it doesn't seem to match any diseases... Any ideas would be appreciated. I don't have any other fruit tress for at least a block. Just oak. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Looks like bacterial canker. If there is a lot of that already in the tree after one year, then the tree isn't going to last long. I'd cut it out if you can. If there is too much to cut it all out, well sadly you might as well cut the tree down. Could be wrong so wait another year or two. You'll either get fruit or a dead tree. |
Thank you for the response Fruitnut. I read recently that there is a lot of training involved in the first few years. So I planned a pretty severe pruning this spring anyhow. Worst case scenario is it dies. I will prune out all that is diseased and if it come back great, if not, not a huge loss. |

do think about sterilizing your pruners after you work on this tree.. before using them on other trees ... if you have a warranty. you might want to talk to the seller ... since you are w/in one year ... ken |

Misinformation from Mayo Clinic
The Mayo Clinic is a recognized center for excellence in both clinical medicine and research. They also maintain one of the best medical information websites on the net. I often find myself there when searching for information on a topic with which I am not familiar.
The Mayo Clinic also represents the current problem with academic medicine and the current fad of so-called complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) – they just don't get it. They do not seem to understand what CAM really is, its history, its current practice, and the state of the evidence. But they know it's out there and people are interested in it (because they are told they should be) and so they feel the need to address it.
When they do address CAM, however, they have apparently done what most academic centers have done in my experience – they turn it over to "CAM experts," which ends up being CAM proponents. The result is that CAM propaganda and shameless promotion becomes endorsed by an academic institution (what my colleagues and I have come to call "quackademic medicine").

Has anyone had experience with the A series windows? We are on the East Coast, and an Andersen dealer said these windows have been used out West and are now available in the East. They seem like a step up from the 400 series but i don't remember all the particulars now. Just looking for comments, pro or con. Thanks. |

Seems to me they are a builders grade window, no real options available, standard and semi custom grille patterns only in GBG and only available with a white interior regardless of the exterior color does not make it appear they are an upgrade to anything except low end vinyl single and double hungs. |

A panda walks into a restaurant, gets his food, consumes it, gets the bill, throws down some money, takes out a gun and fires it into the air as he turns to exit. The manager comes running over and yells, "what are you doing?"
The panda snaps, "I'm a panda! Look it up!"
He tosses a mispunctuated wildlife manual on the table. The manager flips to "panda" and sees: "A tree dwelling marsupial of Asian origin. Eats, shoots and leaves."
Love the response! Way to go quick wit.
lol ah my generation of today
This is one of those times when not using the f-bomb might be more practical.
This says he is either going to a huge party and expects to get laid or he is about to get out of jail and expects these girls will be allover him. What a loser.

At Pottery Hollow, kids and adults alike find inspiration to create ceramic works of art from a fanciful story about a potter in need of an apprentice to help him and his fairy friends adorn ceramic mugs, platters, and knickknacks with colorful paint. Guests enter the potter's enchanted hollow?complete with twisted tree trunks and brightly colored chairs?to work on the unpainted pieces stored deep beneath the forest. While guests create their masterpieces, staffers keep them supplied with paints and brushes and take finished pieces to be baked in the kiln.
In addition to walk-in sessions, Pottery Hollow's three locations host parties and events such as mommy-and-me sessions, bridal showers, and corporate events. And on Friday nights until 9 p.m., ladies can create beautiful works of art while sipping on their favorite BYOB drinks.

In 1898—the same year Marie and Pierre Curie discovered radium and composer George Gershwin was born—the Wyman Center opened its doors. Founded in St. Louis by a group of citizens intent upon granting the city's children a respite from the often sweltering tenements, the organization's first programs were designed to furnish participants with fresh air, healthy food, and fun-filled outdoor activities. Though the world has changed radically since the Wyman Center's inception, it continues to uphold and expand upon its founders' original mission of providing teens from disadvantaged circumstances with opportunities, support, and educational programs.
Today, powered by a dedicated staff of community leaders and volunteers, the Wyman Center's numerous initiatives revolve around leadership and outreach programs. Amidst 250 acres of sylvan land, the Eureka campus serves as a base for outdoor education programs available to a variety of organizations from educational camps to team building retreats. Under the watchful eyes of supportive staffers and any fruit bats flying overhead, outdoor adventurers can tackle challenges afforded by ziplines, climbing walls, and orienteering activities. Along with skill-building programs, a variety of getaway packages invite groups to revel in the alfresco amenities of the Eureka campus while celebrating birthdays, weddings, or family reunions.
