IRS has $3.4M in unfiled returns from Del. The IRS is hanging on to more than three-million-dollars for Delaware taxpayers, who didn't file their taxes several years ago. The I-R-S says 4-thousand Delawareans have until April 15th to file their income tax returns and collect the money they were owed in 2009. The I-R-S estimates half the potential refunds due amount to more than 560-dollars. |

This Sunday marked one year since Portland, Texas, couple Mollie Olgin, 19, and Mary Kristene Chapa, 18, were shot by an unidentified gunman in Violet Andrews Park. Despite an influx of leads, no suspect has been apprehended in the shooting.
It's been nearly three months since two teenage girls were shot at Violet Andrews Park in Portland, Tex. Mollie Olgin, 19, died at the scene; her girlfriend, 18-year-old Mary Kristene Chapa survived and helped police develop a sketch of the shooter. The sketch generated an influx of leads, police have sent a batch of DNA samples from persons of interest to a forensics lab for testing. The lab, however, is backed up, and it's unclear when the results will be ready.
Portland, Tex., police have released a composite sketch of a suspect in the June 23 shooting of Mollie Olgin, 19, and Mary Chapa, 18.
An unnamed eyewitness in the shooting of Mollie Judith Olgin, 19, and Mary Kristene Chapa, 18, has provided a description of the suspected gunman. The assailant is described as a dark-haired white male in his 20s, who stands at about 5'8″ and weighs about 140 lbs.
Two teenage girls were shot in a Portland, Tex., park Friday. Mollie Judith Olgin, 19, was pronounced dead at the scene; her girlfriend, 18-year-old Mary Kristene Chapa, survived after suffering a gunshot wound to the head. Hikers found the girls in a patch of tall grass Saturday morning.

I have a quilt that has a burnt area and would like to know if taking that part out and replacing it is the best idea. The top and the batting is the area that is burnt and the back is still is place. I would take apart the area that is burnt and cut out new pieces and put it back together.... Any other ideas? It survived a fire and was made by a Grandmother from old fabrics that they had. Please advise! |

Hi,auburnmary. I can't help with your question but it might be a good idea to post it in the discussions section. Lots of times members don't visit the conversations area. Just click on discussions at the top of the page. ~Geraldine |
Hello Auburnmary, it may be possible to replace the burned area. Can you post a picture so we can see where and how badly it is burned? Depending on how it is quilted and the pattern, it may be necessary to piece the batting and applique over the burned area. I put a link to your post on the discussion side so more people will see it. beverly |
Conservators would say that modifying a valueable antique quilt would devalue it. However, if a repair is well done, and with period fabrics, I would think it would preserve the quilt and prevent further damage. Imagine a non-quilter would see the burned area and decide it was destroyed and toss it in the trash. If this is your quilt, and repairing it will make you happy as well as save the quilt from further damage, I would say do it! Even if you cannot find period fabrics, you could probably find some modern reproduction fabrics that will work nicely. BlueBars |

I'd repair it, using either vintage or reproduction fabrics and a batting compatible with what was originally in the quilt. You say it was made by your Grandmother from old fabrics. How old are we talking here? Annie |
There was an article in a quilt magazine a couple of years ago regarding making repairs like this - to a damaged vintage quilt. The article was about using your scanner to scan fabric prints from intact parts of the quilt, then using your graphics or photo editing software to make the fabric patch larger (by copy and pasting parts of the print) and to adjust the color, and print test pages until the color matched the original fabric. Then print out the scanned image on a photo fabric sheet, and use the "new" fabric to patch the quilt, even creating new pieced blocks, if need be. If I remember correctly, the repair method was to make up the piecing you needed to do the repair, put new batting in the spot (perhaps whip stiching the edges) then you applique the new "replacement piece" in place, with needle turn applique, so the edges of the replacement piece would look like seam lines in the original patch-piecing pattern. Then hand quilt the repaired area. If there's one thing I learned from watching Antiques Roadshow is that to preserve any monetary value in a damaged item, any repair or conservation work should be reversible -- and certainly, another 100 years from now, your great-great-grand-daughter would be able to remove your patch with a simple seam ripper and replace it with something else, if need be. Although I realize that monetary value is not really the issue here. CMC |

If it was old & or of potential value even if only historically, I might try to contact & consult w/ a Textile Dept. at a Museum of some kind. They could most likely give solid advice abt reversable repairs & potential impact on value. |

Holman Christian Standard (CSB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 It is necessary to boast; it is not helpful, but I will move on to visions and revelations of the Lord. | 1 I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. |
2 I know a man in Christ who was caught up into the third heaven 14 years ago. Whether he was in the body or out of the body, I don't know; God knows. | 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know--God knows. |
3 I know that this man-whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows- | 3 And I know that this man--whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows-- |
4 was caught up into paradise. He heard inexpressible words, which a man is not allowed to speak. | 4 was caught up to paradise. He heard inexpressible things, things that man is not permitted to tell. |
5 I will boast about this person, but not about myself, except of my weaknesses. | 5 I will boast about a man like that, but I will not boast about myself, except about my weaknesses. |
6 For if I want to boast, I will not be a fool, because I will be telling the truth. But I will spare you, so that no one can credit me with something beyond what he sees in me or hears from me, | 6 Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say. |
7 especially because of the extraordinary revelations. Therefore, so that I would not exalt myself, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to torment me so I would not exalt myself. | 7 To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. |
8 Concerning this, I pleaded with the Lord three times to take it away from me. | 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. |
9 But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may reside in me. | 9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. |
10 So because of Christ, I am pleased in weaknesses, in insults, in catastrophes, in persecutions, and in pressures. For when I am weak, then I am strong. | 10 That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. |
11 I have become a fool; you forced it on me. I ought to have been recommended by you, since I am in no way inferior to the "super-apostles," even though I am nothing. | 11 I have made a fool of myself, but you drove me to it. I ought to have been commended by you, for I am not in the least inferior to the "super-apostles," even though I am nothing. |
12 The signs of an apostle were performed among you in all endurance-not only signs but also wonders and miracles. | 12 The things that mark an apostle--signs, wonders and miracles--were done among you with great perseverance. |
13 So in what way were you treated worse than the other churches, except that I personally did not burden you? Forgive me this wrong! | 13 How were you inferior to the other churches, except that I was never a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong! |
14 Look! I am ready to come to you this third time. I will not burden you, for I am not seeking what is yours, but you. For children are not obligated to save up for their parents, but parents for their children. | 14 Now I am ready to visit you for the third time, and I will not be a burden to you, because what I want is not your possessions but you. After all, children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children. |
15 I will most gladly spend and be spent for you. If I love you more, am I to be loved less? | 15 So I will very gladly spend for you everything I have and expend myself as well. If I love you more, will you love me less? |
16 Now granted, I have not burdened you; yet sly as I am, I took you in by deceit! | 16 Be that as it may, I have not been a burden to you. Yet, crafty fellow that I am, I caught you by trickery! |
17 Did I take advantage of you by anyone I sent you? | 17 Did I exploit you through any of the men I sent you? |
18 I urged Titus [to come], and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take advantage of you? Didn't we walk in the same spirit and in the same footsteps? | 18 I urged Titus to go to you and I sent our brother with him. Titus did not exploit you, did he? Did we not act in the same spirit and follow the same course? |
19 You have thought all along that we were defending ourselves to you. [No], in the sight of God we are speaking in Christ, and everything, dear friends, is for building you up. | 19 Have you been thinking all along that we have been defending ourselves to you? We have been speaking in the sight of God as those in Christ; and everything we do, dear friends, is for your strengthening. |
20 For I fear that perhaps when I come I will not find you to be what I want, and I may not be found by you to be what you want; there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder. | 20 For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder. |
21 I fear that when I come my God will again humiliate me in your presence, and I will grieve for many who sinned before and have not repented of the uncleanness, sexual immorality, and promiscuity they practiced. | 21 I am afraid that when I come again my God will humble me before you, and I will be grieved over many who have sinned earlier and have not repented of the impurity, sexual sin and debauchery in which they have indulged. |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The source says that Nikolai Patrushev relayed an important message
from Russian president Dmitri Medvedev to Iranian president Mahmud
Ahmadinejad. The Russian envoy urged Ahmadinejad and other Iranian
officials he met with to restart the stalled nuclear talks that
collapsed last January. He says Patrushev told Ahmadinejad that
Russian intelligence information suggests that the U.S. has given
Israel the go ahead to launch an attack against Iranian nuclear
installations. Both Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S.
president Barrack Obama stand to benefit from an attack on Iran. This
would be the only way for them to survive politically in the face of
mounting economic problems at home. The Iranians are aware of the
gravity of the situation and this explains why Ahmadinejad mentioned
that a nuclear bomb is too expensive and is worthless. He expects the
Iranians to agree to restarting the nuclear talks.

Based at Tufts University's Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, ChildObesity180 merges the best in public health research and practice with the expertise and experience of business, government, and non-profit leaders. When these perspectives come together, a creative tension exists that balances the academic focus on discovering what works and why, with the entrepreneurial perspective that quick action is needed above all else. What we see is that when these perspectives and experiences are blended, big things happen.
Multi-sector Leadership
and Collaboration
ChildObesity180 is using its cross-sector composition, deep connections, and expertise to generate urgency, traction, and impact to drive change on a national scale. We continue to work toward accelerating the pace of change and preventing childhood obesity across the nation. Our commitment to multi-sector collaboration is reflected in the composition of the membership, core leadership, staff, and partners. Our People
From the inception of an idea to the implementation of our national initiatives, ChildObesity180 is focused on sustainable, long-term impact. Innovative partnerships and engaging diverse funders are two of the strategies we emphasize in order to develop and implement our initiatives. Over time, we envision that the types of solutions developed by our initiatives will be embedded and sustained in childhood obesity prevention efforts across the nation. Funding Partners
ChildObesity180 is committed to using the best available scientific evidence to inform our decisions. This means that we use evidence-based research to develop our initiatives and monitor and measure our performance against established goals. Whenever compelling new evidence is generated, through our own research efforts or through the solid work of other recognized and unbiased experts, we update our approach and adjust our future practices based on this new knowledge.
Diverse Portfolio
of Initiatives
Recognizing that no one solution will solve the childhood obesity epidemic, we are committed to executing a diverse portfolio of high-impact initiatives that will collectively influence a child's daily energy balance. We evaluated more than 100 childhood obesity prevention recommendations from leading organizations including the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the White House Task Force on Childhood Obesity Report to the President.
Recommendations were evaluated based on seven characteristics to determine organizational priorities: evidence base, scale, equity, impact, feasibility, multi-sectoral contribution, and time to results.
- Active Schools Acceleration Project
- Healthy Kids Out of School
- Restaurant Initiative
- Breakfast Initiative
National Knowledge Dissemination
ChildObesity180 continues to generate and disseminate knowledge related to the organization's impact and application of innovative and collaborative strategies. To date, ChildObesity180 leadership and staff have presented at multiple scientific and public policy conferences:
"- CDC's Weight of the Nation Conference
- American Society for Nutrition at Experimental Biology Annual Conference
- Annual Meeting of the International Society for Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity
- Partnership for a Healthier America Building a Healthier Future Summit
ChildObesity180 has published in a peer-reviewed publication and is continually working to contribute to the research base. See our library. ChildObesity180 also continues to pursue conferences and peer-reviewed publications that serve as valuable forums for sharing the organization's unique model, evidence-based approach, and research findings.

Are You A Praise Junkie?
Though we need to take responsibility for how we turn out as people, undoubtedly, our parents are usually the root cause of how we interact with the world, from a very early age. There was a girl in my school who nobody really liked because she was so full of herself. To protect her identity, let us just call her Lily. She had this disdainful air about her because things came too easily. I felt almost sorry for her because she was so spoilt as a child that nothing really excited her. Too much of a good thing, can be a bad thing, as the saying goes.
When my class had a school excursion, one of the stops was at a local theme park, and I absolutely could not wait to get out there and try the rides. One of our classmates' mothers had fixed up special passes for us, since she worked there. We were all really excited when we arrived, with the exception of Lily. She said ungratefully, "It's so small. This is nothing compared to Disneyland!" Lily was fairly oblivious to the way she was. She was born into the lap of luxury and chauffeur driven to school every day and she did not appreciate the value of things. She was not as independent as her peers because she rarely did anything on her own. Every problem in her life seemed to be solved by someone else, and any latest gadget she wanted was given to her on a silver plate.
When she started failing her subjects, that's when her parents stepped in, to make some drastic changes to her life. They suddenly cut off her allowance. Despite the fact everyone thought this would finally help her 'wake up' and stop feeling like the world owed her something, I still felt sorry for this girl. In my humble opinion, her parents should have thought to disciplin their daughter long ago because she had a bad attitude, rather than just bad grades. And it was not her fault she was so spoilt. She had grown up with parents who indulged her every wish and now suddenly without word or warning, withdrawn their approval of her as well as all the luxury 'benefits' that went with it. Lily did not adjust well to her new circumstances. She was simply not prepared for this sudden change in her lifestyle. However, in the long run, it did make her more independent and she eventually became more sociable and less conceited.
I realise that any extreme in life is not healthy. It is not good to spoil a child to a point that they cannot deal with not having things their way. Interestingly, this also applies to how much praise a child gets. According to an article from NBC news online, Dr Ruth Peters explained how new research suggests that complimenting children in certain ways may set them up to become 'praise junkies' because they will start searching for approval and validation on everything that they do instead of developing an internal barometer for self-esteem and feelings of accomplishment and achievement. A friend of mine who has a three year old was telling me all about the dangers of raising 'praise junkies' because she had seen parents who praised their children to a point that their kids became less motivated to try so hard because whatever they did, seemed good enough.
Once, her three-year old daughter was on the floor of her bedroom doing a puzzle and there were six parts to it. When she completed the first part, her daughter clapped her hands together congratulating herself "See what I did!! Mommy, look here!" My friend's instinctive reaction was to praise her but she held back saying, "Well, you're actually not finished yet. There's another five parts to it dear." That made her daughter go back to the task of completing the whole puzzle and only then, did her mother praise her for a job well done. A study from the Department of Psychology at Columbia University in New York City discovered that, what children are praised for makes a significant difference in how they later fare when faced with challenges or perceived failures.
For instance, encouraging a child for their efforts seemed to be more productive than praising them for innate characteristics they had no control over, like being beautiful or smart because they may feel a need to preserve this image of themselves. According to research by Dr Carol Dweck, a professor at Columbia University, she said that praise, can hamper their level of risk-taking as they may choose less challenging tasks in the future to avoid making mistakes. So, if you have children, it can backfire when you overdo the praise. Encouragement uses a slightly different lingo. For instance, if your child came in first in a race, instead of saying, "You're a born winner. I'm so proud you got the gold", perhaps it might be better to say (so that your children keep challenging themselves), "It was all that hard work that paid off. Well done!"

Show the Republicans how democracy works.
Join Team Obamacare
Unbelievable, Mitch McConnell thinks he can just waltz into Minnesota, buy Senator Al Frankens seat and ram the GOPs extreme agenda down our throats.
We dont need more crazy Tea Party ideas.
It's the familiar and distinctive tone of mass political email campaigns that clog personal accounts. They slam the right or left; they ask for campaign contributions, and the messages begin to pile up when election season is upon us. No matter which side a person is on, the messages are familiar, but these emails came to the inbox of a local government employee.
After stumbling upon a host of partisan emails in a local government employee's email account during an unrelated search, the Winona Post examined one year of the employee's emails that mentioned words like "campaign," "GOP," "DFL," or "election," and found the local government employee received 145 political emails during the 12-month period. They ranged from frac sand protest information to mass emails from President Barack Obama, and the employee contributed money to the democratic party at least once from that government desk.
While it might seem innocuous to send or receive political emails and make donations while at work at a government job, the recent controversy surrounding the "Governor Scott Walker/John Doe investigation" shows just how quickly the act of playing partisan politics while on the government payroll can escalate into criminal charges and public scandal.
State statutes and local government policies prohibit government employees from partaking in political or religious promotional activities while they are on the taxpayers dime. Yet, local government officials admit, it still happens.
State law
Minnesota statutes, chapter 43A, prohibit government employees from soliciting or receiving political funds, or to pay or promise to pay any assessment, subscription, or contribution or to take part in any political activity, while on the job.
Winona County
Winona County has a policy that dictates how employees may use email and internet privileges that explicitly states employees can use email for personal reasons, but may not use email or work resources for "political, religious, personal financial profit, or other promotional activities." The policy also states that any personal internet or telephone use must be done during work breaks or other personal time.
"We've had issues over the years," admitted Winona County Personnel Director Maureen Holte. She said problems with personal or political use of county email accounts has not been "extensive," but said both warnings and disciplinary action have been taken against employees who have violated the policy. No county employee has been fired for such email use, she said, although violations of the email policy have contributed to the termination of employees in some cases.
"For the most part, it's just emailing family and friends," she said. "We had one where we had an individual with potential for gain attempting to run a personal business."
Holte said that they do not routinely monitor employee email accounts, but its policy reserves the right to inspect any and all such information.
Winona Area Public Schools
Winona Area Public Schools (WAPS) policy is the least restrictive and most vague of the local government email and internet policies. District employees are governed by the same rules that regulate WAPS students email and internet capabilities. The policy does not specifically ban employees from using their government provided email accounts for partisan politics, rather it restricts online bullying and other inappropriate uses of the internet. The lengthy policy states that employees should not have expectations of privacy. Because email is not private, employees should avoid sending personal messages that are sensitive or confidential. Any violation of the policy is grounds for discipline or termination.
We dont deal with this issue very often there are typically no issues or concerns with employees, WAPS director of human resources Pat Blaisdell said, but admitted that she does not monitor employee emails on a day-to-day basis.
City of Winona
The city of Winona also has a policy that dictates the way employees may use email accounts while at work, and, similar to Winona County's regulations on the issue, the "promotion of political or religious positions or activities" is prohibited. Employees may use email accounts for occasional employee purposes that [do] not result in any additional costs of loss of time or resources for their intended business purpose.
City employees computers and emails may be monitored, read, examined, seized, or confiscated as necessary in the citys judgment and discretion.

Mesa Arizona Short Sale Specialist Realtors
What is a Short Sale?
A short sale is a transaction in real estate in which a borrower must prove to his or her lender that they are
no longer able to pay for their home. The lender then agrees to accept a discounted payoff on the loan, forgiving
the borrower of the debt. In most cases the home owner owes more on the home than it is actually worth.
How can a Short Sale benefit you?
A short sale can get you out of your home and free from debt! The entire process is free to you. Many home owners
who have lost their jobs or have experienced a reduction in income believe they are stuck with their home, even
though they can't afford it, simply because they can't sell it for the amount they owe the bank. This is not true!
Struggling to pay your mortgage each month while eating up your savings is only delaying the inevitable. Short sale
your home before foreclosure is an option!
Why would a bank agree to do this?
On average, it costs a lender at least $58,000 to foreclose on a home. In addition, it looks bad to a bank's investors
if they have a lot of foreclosures. Therefore it is usually in a lender's best interest to accept a discounted payoff
on a loan.
Contact us today for more information on short sales.

HAFA went into effect April 5, 2010, and offers qualifying home owners $3,000 cash back at closing. In addition,

Yet again, with Lucid Lynx, Ubuntu has shunned a much better technology for no good reason other than what appears to be NIH syndrome. Ubuntu 10.04 came out last week, and included a movie editor in the default install for the first time. The movie editor they chose: PiTiVi.
Now PiTiVi has been around for a long time, but has progressed very little. It can do very basic video manipulation. It can cut and split files, and move them round on a time line. That's pretty much it. Furthermore, as far as I'm aware, it currently does not support the most popular HD video format used in cameras today – AVCHD. It lacks any video or audio filters, does not do transitions, nor titling. I know that Ubuntu tries to provide basic tools that will appeal to the average user – hence the replacement of GIMP with F-Spot in the default install, but in my view support for HD video formats, filters and transitions are the bare minimum features anyone looking to do video editing in the current environment would require.
Furthermore, these features are provided by kdenlive in an interface which is just as simple as PiTiVi. But under the simple exterior, kdenlive has much more sophisticated features:
- Capture from any source, including DV
- Import and organise media files with folders
- Drag and drop media to the time line
- Render to a large number of formats using a wide variety of codecs
- Support for DV, HDV, AVCHD, H264, mpeg, avi and mov
- Support for uncompressed PCM, ac3, mp2, mp3, vorbis and wav
- Predefined export settings
- Heaps of effects, transitions and filters
- Title creation tool
In my view, Ubuntu is doing desktop Linux a huge dis-service by putting in basic, buggy tools and then advertising its product as having "video editing" capabilities. The short point is that it hasn't, and users moving to Ubuntu on the basis of this promise will be bitterly disappointed, tainting their overall view of Linux.
So why did Ubuntu do this? Either they are not aware of kdenlive and its capabilities – which can't be true, because it's available in their repositories, or they have an aversion to including anything in the default install that requires the KDE libraries. While I can understand that approach – there is only so much space on the CD – why substitute for a clearly inferior application. In my view this is both a poor technical and marketing choice. They would have been better leaving PiTiVi off the default CD rather than tainting user's impression of the readiness or otherwise of Linux for the desktop. Whilst I'm not saying that video editing for Linux is as healthy as on other platforms, I am saying it is a hell of a lot more advanced that Ubuntu and PiTiVi would lead the average person to think.

Is the Tarbais pole bean an extremely late-season bean?
It has produced no flowers (or beans) yet. Our first frost date is two months from now. I planted about 25 Tarbais seeds on May 31 (using fresh inoculant). For some time now, they have bundled over the top of a ten-foot trellis. Most leaves are healthy-looking, but one third of the lower leaves have yellowed and are not healthy looking anymore. They get strong midday/afternoon sun for 4-5 hours daily. I planted edaname in front of the Tarbais: three rows Tarbais next to the lattice, and three rows Gardensoy in front of the Tarbais. The Gardensoy is now four feet high and shades the feet of the Tarbais. All the soy plants are healthy-looking and are producing pods. Three years ago, Meraviglia Venezia pole (with very large yellow Roma pods) produced abundantly in the same location. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Marquette, I had to look up Tarbais beans. But it appears that they are a p. vulgaris variety (related to most common beans). I wish I could help you! I've found wide variation between different bean varieties and their reaction to day length. The fact that these only receive 4-5 hours of strong sunlight might have something to do with it. It's also possible that they will suddenly start blooming, as did my Black Greasy Beans last September. I have a garden between two out buildings. In this garden, if I plant beans all the way at the back, or all the way up front, they behave normally and flower right on time. But if I plant pole beans in the middle of the garden, whether it be where they receive plenty of sunlight, or if they are on the North side of one shed, they don't flower until very late. I've found this, so far with two varieties. I can't explain it! George |
I grew Tarbais last year and got a good yield. Unfortunately, I don't keep good notes and cannot remember the date of harvest. This will encourage me to make notes. Jim |
Marquette, it sounds like the garden location is mostly shade. The soybeans should not be that high... depending upon which Gardensoy you are growing, all but Gardensoy 2 should be no higher than 30". The shade (from both above & below) may be taking its toll on your beans. I can't speak for the Tarbais, since I have not yet grown them... but I have grown both pole beans & soybeans in half-shade, and they performed poorly. Fortunately, I was only growing them for seed; had I been expecting snap beans or edamame, the yield would have been disappointing. I ended up pruning some branches, to get 8 hours of full sun, give or take an hour. You might need to make a similar choice. |
I was beginning to think that Tarbais was day-length sensitive, but if Jimster grew it sucessfully in Mass, that theory goes out the window. So the failure to bloom is probably the location and lack of sun. I also have a theory that it could be a soil deficiency (never did a soil test). Yes, I know. Roll out the Guillotine. Zeedman: Gardensoy 12 grows in front (it has purple flowers, so I may have mixed up my notes and planted Gardensoy 02). Those two were the only edaname I planted (in two different locations). Neither are impressively prolific. The soy covercrop I planted last year was more prolific and produced tasty treats. Thanks Macmex, Jimster, and Zeedman for your comments and suggestions... |
FWIW, my Tarbais was grown in FULL sun. FULL. I like this bean. It's worth finding a way to accomodate it. Jim |
Today I saw the first Tarbais flowers - white. Will there be time for mature shellies if frost comes on October 10? Unfortunately I don't have a ful-sun location, but the spots that are the sunniest are now in veggies with, at the most, 8 hours/day. |
Marquette, if you are still around, did you get beans in time? I have two Tarbais from two sources, and they are only now setting tiny beans. I also wonder if there will be time to get mature beans before frost. |
Last year I grew a 14 foot row of Tarbais in the Seattle area. They had full sun. The vines were unusual in that they spread about 5 feet wide before they began to climb much. Dry seed was harvested in early October. |
While researching another question elsewhere, it led me back to this thread. I see great similarity in the descriptions for "Tarbais" and another pole bean I grow, "Tetovac". The appearance (flat, white, like small limas) and the width of the plants at the base mentioned by Drloyd match my observations of "Tetovac". The base width,though, might depend upon the spacing & available sunlight. Some beans I have described as "half runner" at wide spacing have performed as "pole" for others. It would be interesting to grow them both for comparison... hopefully I'll be able to get a real garden in next year & find out. |
Zeedman, last year I grew two sources of Tarbais and two sources of Tetovac. They are a different bean. The most obvious difference is that Tetovac is bigger. |
Zeedman, all my trellises have been spaced at 4 feet in recent years following what I thought was your lead. I think I read on another thread that you now sometimes go as close as 3 feet? I grew Tarbais in 2009 which was the nicest summer here in years. They were spaced at 4 feet and they used it all! It might be hard to save seed here in a cooler summer. - Dick |
Drloyd, after a discussion with Gardenlad several years back, I increased my default row spacing for pole beans from 36" then, to 42-48" now. The range reflects adjustments for variety; less vigorous climbers & those with more open foliage get the closer spacing. With rows at 36", I still got a good yield... but due to shading, the foliage & pods in the inner rows were concentrated in the upper half by late summer. At the wider row spacing, the pods are borne from top to bottom. |
Thank you Zeedman for the update. The wider spacing is probably even more important here. - Dick |

When it comes to online porn, it acts like both, as evidenced by a new directive to stop employees of the Missile Defense Agency from browsing porn sites. It is only the latest offensive in the military's open-ended war on wanking.

As in the best of Jules Verne or Albert Sanchez Pinol, The Balloonist is a gripping and surreal yarn, chilling and comic by turn, that brilliantly reinvents the Arctic adventure.
It is July 1897, at the northernmost reach of the inhabited world. A Swedish scientist, an American journalist, and a young, French-speaking adventurer climb into a wicker gondola suspended beneath a huge, red-and-white balloon. The ropes are cut, the balloon rises, and the three begin their… (more)
Every so often, one discovers a novel that simply stays with you, that haunts your imagination for days after it's closed and put back on the shelf. "The Balloonist" is that kind of book. It is also perfect reading for winter.

The Raspberry Pi project hits a new milestone. The Foundation has announced that they have sold more than two million tiny computers as of the last week in October.
An official blog post said: "It took us almost exactly a year to sell the first million Raspberry Pis. Going on that basis, we calculated that we might, if we were lucky, reach the second million around January 2014, or slightly afterwards – we were confident we'd get there by the end of February 2014. So it was a bit of a shock at the end of last week when we got the latest sales figures and discovered that the 2,000,000th Raspberry Pi was sold in the last week of October."
The credit-card sized computer was launched in February last year. Initially, the device was made in China but production was later shifted to Sony's Pencoed facility in South Wales.
The Raspberry Pi Foundation last month announced its one-millionth board manufactured at the Pencoed factory. It also said that 1.75 million total Raspberry Pi boards have been built so far.
"Add these to the existing Chinese ones, and that makes one and three quarter million Raspberry Pis out there worldwide, the majority of them made right here at home," the Foundation then said.

Planning a budget Colorado Mountain Wedding? Colorado brides and grooms don't need to spend thousands of dollars to exchange their wedding vows in a spectacular location with million dollar views. When looking for an inexpensive venue, make sure that there are no hidden fees or requirements. Venues often have a "preferred vendor list," so using your own caterer (or other service provider) may be more expensive or not allowed at all. Sundays tend to be less expensive too. So if you're flexible on days of the week, stay away from Friday and Saturday wedding ceremonies and that will help you stay within your budget.
Below is a list of some of our favorite budget wedding venues.
Are you adventurous and looking for a unique and inexpensive way to kick off your new life together? KODI Rafting will take you on a wild, whitewater raft trip, and officiant Campy Campton, owner of KODI Rafting will perform your marriage ceremony. In partnership with the Petal and Bean, the ceremony will include flowers, live music, a beautiful riverside ceremony and a champagne toast.
How about the most spectacular /most budget-conscious wedding venue you can find in Summit County, Colorado? For about $100, you can reserve Sapphire Point, (between Frisco and Breckenridge) the only designated wedding site in the Dillon Ranger District. Exchange your wedding vows on a rocky outcropping with a panoramic view of the Ten Mile Range in the background, and Lake Dillon just below. You'll want to be sure to check out our photographers page to find the right person to document this momentous day. Follow your ceremony with a wedding reception at the Silverthorne Pavilion, or an outside reception on the grass at Point Dillon Park & Lawn.
(Up to 450 Guests) Owned and operated by the Town of Silverthorne, the Pavilion opened its doors in 2001 as an affordable, stylish venue to serve the local community and visitors. Whether you're hosting a wedding, reunion, or sales meeting, your guests are sure to appreciate the Pavilion's location. With convenient access to I-70, it is in the heart of Summit County, and within minutes of Keystone, Copper Mountain, Arapahoe Basin and Breckenridge ski resorts. The Pavilion sits at the edge of the famed Blue River in the heart of the Town Center and boasts nearly 12,000 square feet of space. Learn more about the Silverthorne Pavilion. Cost of renting out the entire pavilion runs between $500 – $3100, depending on day of the week and time of year. Summit County residents are eligible for a discount, and the site fees includes use of all Pavilion grounds and indoor furniture, set up and take down time before and after your event, set up of indoor tables and chairs, and an attendant on hand to help oversee your event.
(40 – 180 Guests) The Meadows at Marshdale offers several venues ideal for weddings. Used for receptions and retreats, this Rocky Mountain oasis combines elegance and charm, setting the stage for an unforgettable wedding ceremony.Depending on the size of your group, you can choose from the Red Barn, Grandview Terrace or the Guest House. 20% discount for ceremonies taking place Oct. 16 – April 14.

(Maximum 100 Guests ) With spectacular views of Mt. Sopris, and a 1/2 day (four hour) rental at only $100, the Missouri Heights Schoolhouse may be the best budget Colorado wedding venue we've found yet! You can rent it for 3 days straight for only $350! The schoolhouse is the only remaining historic building on the mesa that is available for public use.

There are restrictions, and the use of these areas are not exclusive…but, the views are incredible. Guests can stay in Grand Lake, camp at RMNP or lodge in Estes Park.
Snow Mountain Ranch offers stunning mountain ceremony sites, a variety of reception options set up the way you choose, guest lodging, and over five thousand acres to play on. They keep their sites affordable so that you can make your vision of a mountain wedding a fun and memorable reality.

Located on Clear Creek, The Golden Hotel features a mountain lodge ambiance with a wealth of full service amenities.

The opportunities, like the natural beauty of the Colorado Mountains, are endless.
