I have 3 beautiful red raspberry plants (Caroline) which need planting. I originally thought I'd like to plant them near my raised beds for convenience - they would be about 1.5 - 2 ft max from the nearest bed which will have strawberries and possibly asparagus. Am I going to have a problem with the raspberry roots invading the nearby bed? Will that create too much competition for the strawberries? Your help and suggestions are greatly appreciated! Anybody out there growing raspberries near other food plants? How are you keeping the roots in-bounds? I gather from other posts that even if I make a raised bed in that location solely for the raspberries, the roots may spread out all over anyway...? |

You can keep them under control easily. When you see them intruding into another space, just pull them out. I run a small tiller down the side of the row, this trims the roots back so they don't spread. I am just moving a row, needs re-newing, and they haven't spread away from their original space. You could use the plants removed to expand the row. |
This post was edited by beeman_gardener on Mon, May 19, 14 at 12:58
I wouldn't plant raspberries near strawberry bed. They grow most vigorously at time of strawberry harvesting. If you pull out at this time, you, first, disturb much more shallow strawberry roots in the hot weather and, second, disturbing the soil can start gray mold spreading on you berries. Only choice you have in this case not to pull, but just cut the green parts. It will not stop them from growing, but will let sun to get to your strawberries. Raspberries like reach soil. If you have well cultivated row and original soil outside of it, they will not spread much assuming you do proper pruning . But as soon as there are some better or equal places to grow - they will start moving. I have shoots here and there as far as 5 feet from original planting side. |
Thank you both for your responses. Sorry it took me so long to find my way back to this post! So, doesn't look so hopeless after all. I think I'll try it. If it doesn't work, I can always move 'em, I guess. Thanks again! |

The Niger Government on Thursday announced the revocation of contracts for six road projects under the government's 10km Road per Local Government programme.
The Niger Commissioner for Works, Alhaji Muazu Bawa, made the announcement after state executive council at Government House, Minna.
Bawa said the contracts were revoked because of poor performance by the contractors.
He listed the affected local government areas as Shiroro, Gbako, Kontagora, Rafi, Magama and Bida.
He said the contracts would be re -awarded to competent contractors, who had completed their jobs.
Bawa commended the Federal Government for awarding the contract for the construction of the 86km Kontagora-Rijau Road after it was abandoned for 20 years by past administrations.
Meanwhile, he said the state government had awarded a N39.3 billion contract for the extension of electrification from the FM radio station in Maitumbi town near Minna to Gurusu Village.

"It hit me like a ton of bricks," he goes on. "I realized what a lasting impact that environment had on the sound that I do, that I'm attracted to. It's always been really stripped-down stuff."
Born James Frederick, the 28-year-old artist abbreviates his music as radically as he does his name. Like a sculptor who sees the statue at the middle of a block of marble, he's been unflinchingly chiseling away at his musical vision over the course of thirteen years and nearly thirty releases. And now, with two brand-new CDs and a series of ambitious performances showcasing his conceptual minimalist technique, j.frede is finally hitting his core.
Frede's first experience playing music was at age fifteen, when he was the bassist of a goth band in Albuquerque. He soon dropped out of school, however, and wound up homeless, hopping trains and living on the streets of L.A. and Texas. And although many troubled street kids wind up drunk or strung out, frede has been straight-edge -- drug- and alcohol-free -- his whole life. "It's not better or worse," he says of his abstinent philosophy, one codified by '80s hardcore punk bands like Minor Threat and Youth of Today. "It's just a different choice. I had already made that decision before I found out what straight-edge was, when my older brother turned me on to Minor Threat."
In 1995, after frede settled in Denver, he started Halopane, a band that, though derived from goth, favored a stronger experimental approach. As he remembers: "Halopane had two basses, a drum machine and some weird tape loops. We were completely unaccepted by the goth scene, ostracized by all the goth kids who just wanted to hear typical death-rock stuff.
"All my sounds have always been of a darker tone, just not in a ŒScary Sounds of Halloween' kind of way," he continues with a laugh. "Not cheesy, but more like old-school, early horror-movie soundtracks."
During a year-long sojourn in San Francisco, frede immersed himself in the mystical, almost psychedelic drones of Sleep Chamber and Psychic TV, both of which inspired him to form two major vessels for his creative restlessness: the music project Chapter 23 and the record label Ritual Document Release. Upon returning to Denver, he began playing live and putting out limited-edition cassettes dressed in elaborate, handmade packaging -- displaying his knack for graphic design, a preoccupation he believes correlates directly to his music.
"A lot of the noise stuff that I was getting into at the time came in special packaging, and it really floored me," frede remembers. "It just seems so much more appropriate for this type of music to be presented in a non-traditional way. I would do an edition of 25 tapes, and every tape would have different music on it and would be hand-painted, with no labels. I would just give them out to people." He soon moved on to even more involved packaging that incorporated silk-screened fabrics, stitching, Army-surplus materials and even white decal letters painstakingly arranged on blank LP sleeves.
As the wrapping around frede's releases grew more sophisticated, so did the sounds inside. Generated at first by cassette-tape loops ("Because of a lack of funds, I couldn't afford equipment or samplers," frede remarks), Chapter 23's music was mantra-like yet abrasive, an instrumental mélange of jagged noise and jaw-snapping static reminiscent of the more abstract work of Merzbow or Einstürzende Neubauten. But as he built up an arsenal of hardware, frede's output ironically became more minimal. He began enveloping his harsh electronics in arctic washes of ambience, conjuring a bleak, hypnotic soundscape that owed a debt to twentieth-century avant-garde luminaries like Terry Riley, LaMont Young and Brian Eno as much as the post-shoegazer narcosis of Main and Flying Saucer Attack.
But frede's turn from chaos to tranquility was simply an outgrowth of his own character rather than a conscious stylistic decision. As he explains, "I'm really not interested in being very demanding or like, ŒLook at me! Look at me!' If you get what I do, okay, that's great, but I'm not going to shove it down your throat. I like using a more subtle approach to presenting something. I was never very interested in the idea of demanding people's attention."
The subtlety of frede's approach became even more apparent with his discovery of field recordings -- the process of capturing and manipulating environmental sounds that was pioneered by composers like John Cage and David Dunn. "I've done just about every field recording you could imagine at this point," he says. "I've been interested in lots of field recordings that actually sound synthetic. If I can find natural sonic atmospheres that sound like something someone created with a synthesizer or software, that's what I'm really drawn to. For instance, I did recordings in my parents' windmill, down inside the pipe. It creates this unbelievable effect that sounds like a really heavy, rich, gritty chorus. I also did a recording of desert insects out in the middle of nowhere on the drive between Los Angeles and New Mexico. I had to pull over; it sounded just like an electronic buzz everywhere.

I like the foliage of Bengal Tiger. It's really unique. I also bought a Tropicanna last week but it was very horrible. I saw them underneath a shelf. I've been watching it for 2 months, hehehe. I still bought it because it was so cheap, $3.99. I think I have 5-to-6 2 ft trunks per pot. This morning, I saw some new seedlings. I bought 2 pots. Next year, I know, it will look beautiful. When I saw it 2 months ago, it was very lovely. Not sure why 70% of people here in our area ignore them. I think, people think they're just accent plants since they die if not dug. :) |
Canna "stuttgart" Variegated white and green,similar to Ae Ae banana plant.This beautifull canna gets peach colored flowers in late spring! |
Never met a canna I didn't like. If canna were men, I guess I'd be a slut! I simply adore The President with its huge lucious red flower. I didn't have any of this variety this year as they all met their demise in my basement this winter, and it was too late to remedy, and I had already ordered others. I bought a yellow one that I wish I could remember the name because it performed very poorly. Lady Di was beautiful with nice size peach/salmon blooms, colorful foliage and dwarf size. Cannas in the garden are like stars in the heavens! |
Wish I was a CANNA!!! |

Team: North Carolina Tar Heels
Head Coach: Larry Fedora (8-4; second season)
Returning Starters: 13 (6 Offense, 7 Defense)
Last year appeared uneventful for the Tar Heels from the opening whistle: A bowl ban prevented them from going anywhere in the postseason, they had a new coach in Larry Fedora and in an ACC Coastal Division dominated by Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech since its inception, it looked as if they had no shot. But then the team caught on to Fedora's spread offense quicker than expected, halfback Giovani Bernard put together one of the country's best all-around seasons and the team road a very manageable schedule to a tie for the division title (despite not being able to compete for it). After all that, now the stakes are much higher for North Carolina — a team that's spent several years knocking on the door of upper-level success, and may finally be able to break through this year.
Offensively, the Heels were only really stopped by themselves last year. A lack of focus here and there, and no true top receiving target left things to question more often than likely anyone would be comfortable with. And yet, in a completely new scheme, it's frightening to think things could've gone better than they did last year. But they honestly could this fall. Before Fedora arrived in Chapel Hill, Bryn Renner was a simple pro-style passer, accurate and methodical in his delivery. Now, he appears to be a master of the spread, losing very little in accuracy while throwing 72 more passes (in one less game) and increasing touchdown and yardage numbers while decreasing sacks to a paltry 11. He still doesn't have a top-flight wideout this season, but there's thought this team's progressed on that front too (a welcome sign for the senior QB). Quinshad Davis showed off some flashes of brilliance as a real deep threat receiver last year, and tight end Eric Ebron is being talked about as one of his position's best in the country. Even if just those two pass-catching options can make good on some preseason hype, that'll be more than enough for Renner to work with. Despite losing standout guard Jonathan Cooper to the NFL, this year's group is still strong, and should be able to protect their quarterback just the same as always.

Any student or departmental vehicle left on campus during this time should be parked in Pearce Ford Tower (PFT) lot. PFT lot will remain open and lit throughout the break. PS1 & PS2 will close following Commencement on Saturday, December 14th. They will remain closed and dark except for dates that basketball games are scheduled.
In addition, Facilities Management will be upgrading light fixtures in all parking lots to more energy-efficient LED lights during the December break. Utilizing LED technology for lighting will reduce energy consumption by 45% in parking lots and is the latest of a series of energy savings investments led by DFM. For information on WKU's other sustainability efforts or to learn how you can get involved, visit the Office of Sustainability.
Additional parking and transportation information is available on the PTS website at www.wku.edu/transportation.
Thank you and we wish you a safe and happy holiday!

Port Orleans French Quarter.
We like it because it's a smaller, more intimate resort than the other mods. The rooms are nice, the food court is decent, there's only one bus stop, and you have boat transportation to DTD.
We have stayed at all the mods numerous times and this is our favorite.

Well the industrial food complex won this latest round in the fight to have a safe food supply. The IFC pumped enough money into the California proposition 37 to convince people that labeling GMO foods, as such, was not warranted.
It passed by a slim margin so there is still hope. The fight will go on, those of us dedicated to safe, sustainable food supply are growing. More people everyday are learning about the ills of GMO foods. More research is coming out pointing to the flaws of GMO food. Studies that report findings of GMO corn in the placenta of pregnant women and in there blood samples.
Unfortunately, for the uneducated American consumer some of them or their family members will end up being a statistic in the whole GMO debate. There is just too much information out there that suggests we need to re-evaluate the use of GMO food. Why are we the only industrialized nation in the world that allows GMO's in our food supply?
Could it be the lobbyist that the IFC spends millions on to peddle influence when it comes to food policy? Or is it the government relying on studies conducted by the IFC that prove GMO's are safe?
Either way it should cause you some concern. Corporations are not people; they have no heartbeat, no endocrine system, no feelings and no regard for human safety other then what their insurance policies dictate. Okay, so I am cynical, but I know the bottom line and we as a nation have become so bottom line driven that the human equation is not even taken into account. Actually, a car company made a car that when it was rear-ended the gas tank exploded. That car company did a cost benefit analysis and found that it would be cheaper to pay for death and personal damages then to recall all the cars and put a ten-dollar part in the car (Elkhart County, Indiana v. Ford Motor Company). That was back in the seventies before the real greed and bottom line decision making got worse.
I will ask again, if GMO is not bad for the human body, which predictor species show is not the case, then why doesn't the IFC open up the research findings? Why have the EU, Mexico and other countries outright ban the use of GMO seeds, let alone food for human consumption? This battle was lost, but it is just but one bump. As long as there are concerned foodies fighting for a safe food supply, we will prevail. Lobbyist or not we will prevail.
By Local: By organic and you will know it is not GMO.

There are a ton of reasons all of us love playoff hockey and recognize the NHL Playoffs as the most grueling tournament in sports.
The game is faster, the hits are bigger, the goaltending is out of this world, the ice seems brighter and cleaner, the fans are louder. We know that with emotions running high and the intensity level soaring, there are bound to be some unfortunate injuries and some questionable hits, not to mention some questionable calls.
But what's happened so far in the 2012 Playoffs, and what is overshadowing the great hockey we've seen, is absolutely ridiculous.
What started as a crazy first couple of nights quickly became a nasty weekend, and now we've reached a week of devastation on the ice. Malicious hits from behind, driving opponents' heads into the glass, cross checks to the throat and face, and now Raffi Torres' reckless airborne hit that sent Marian Hossa to hospital.
And we've barely reached the halfway point of the first round.
Some people blame the freakishly growing size of the modern day players. Some people blame the speed of the game. A lot blame both, and say we need to find some reasonable ways to slow the game down just a tad, and perhaps even find ways to shrink equipment without minimizing players' protection.
Here's a simpler idea. Make players think twice before acting like gutless idiots on the ice. Shea Weber received no suspension for that aforementioned driving of an opponent's head into the glass. Arron Asham got four games for the cross check to the throat and subsequent sucker punch while Brayden Schenn lay on the ice, and that was considered a heftier punishment.
It seems Brendan Shanahan and the NHL have forgotten that deterrence is the main objective of a suspension, and are simply handing out these Mickey Mouse bans to follow a precedent, instead of to set one.
Here's an idea. Throw precedents out the window the same way goons like Asham and Torres throw common sense and responsibility out the window before a cowardly action, and start handing out ridiculously sized suspensions that actually make a statement.
I'd rather be sitting here in the future with a slightly toned down postseason debating if a suspension was too severe, instead of sitting here in the future wondering how a near deadly on ice incident wasn't punished enough.
Other than that, here are some morning links to lighten the mood:
- Right on cue, the NHL should suspend Torres for the remainder of the playoffs (ESPN). I was hoping for the same thing for Asham, so I'm not holding my breath.
- For the record, Torres has defended his hit as a "hockey play" (Puck Daddy).
- Marian Hossa was released from hospital last night and is recovering from an "upper body injury" (Reuters). Lost in the debate and anger over the hit itself is that an exciting and talented player is now out of action.
- Daniel Sedin may play when the Canucks try to stave off elimination in Game 4 against the Kings tonight (Windsor Star).
- Daniel Alfredsson is likely to miss Game 4 against the Rangers tonight (Postmedia News).
- Can one win change everything for the Canucks? (The Province). The obvious advantage higher seeds have if they win Game 4 to avoid the sweep is that they get Game 5 at home. If the Canucks (and Penguins) can survive the night and then take care of business at home, they'll suddenly find themselves one win away from a Game 7. Let's see if they can get Game 4 first.
- Sidney Crosby is putting himself in unnecessary danger (Canada.com).
- Matt Cooke is proof that you can deter violence in hockey (National Post).
- The Flyers know better than to rest with a 3-0 series lead (Yahoo!)
- Safety has taken a backseat in the playoffs (Calgary Herald).
- Can we say that Pekka Rinne is stealing the series against the Red Wings for Nashville? (The Tennessean). A 3-1 record with a 2.00 GAA and a .942 save percentage? I think you can say it.
- Former New Jersey backup goalie Scott Clemmensen came back to haunt the Devils (The Star-Ledger). It's not often you see both starting goaltenders pulled in a playoff game, let alone one Martin Brodeur is playing in.

How can you honor and encourage senior adults in your church and community? We offer a variety of tools — consultations, training events, leader training, a network of leaders, recommended reading and downloadable resources — all aimed at helping Kentucky Baptists celebrate the lives and contributions of senior saints.
We are pleased to provide consultation aimed at providing churches the tools to establish and/or enhance senior adult ministry.
Planning a Day Trip
A day trip can be a wonderful time of fellowship and growth for senior adults! The opportunity to learn, share new experiences and fellowship together may strengthen and encourage senior saints—and give them a great opportunity to reach out to unchurched friends. Ron Wilburn, a senior travel consultant, offers the following simple steps to planning safe and successful day trips:
- Set date for trip and plan three to four weeks ahead with promotion and announcements in newsletter, bulletin, etc.
- Have a "Sign Up Sheet" in a room or on a bulletin board.
- Consult the Kentucky Travel Guide for phone numbers and detailed information on the event or attraction. If specific information is not available, ask about what is required, such as reservations, advanced deposits, and discounts for seniors.
- Ask about the times for openings and closings, and whether they are in the Central or Eastern Time zone. Outside of Kentucky, ask about Daylight Savings time.
- Be sure to indicate that your group is a group of senior citizens and not high school seniors.
- Give the name of your seniors, name of your church, address and phone numbers. This should also include the office and home phone of the senior adult director.
- Ask for the name of the person with whom you are speaking and ask if they will be present the day of your arrival. If not, get the name of the person who will be in charge of the tickets, tour guide, etc.
- Let them know the approximate number of seniors in your group. If there are last minute cancellations, it may be necessary to call the day before your arrival or the morning of the trip, to indicate the total number arriving for the trip or tour.
- Inquire about how much walking is involved for the tour or event, and if their facilities are accessible for those with handicaps.
- In cases where there is no set time required for your arrival, let them know the approximate time they can expect you.
- Take photos of each trip, either by prints for an album collection, or slides for a presentation to the church.
- Be sure the van/bus is thoroughly inspected before the start of the trip, with a checklist including: gas, oil, tires, transmission, etc. Standard equipment should include: cell phone, first-aid kit, toolbox, flashlight and paper towels. Also, an updated official Kentucky Highway Map, and city maps of major metropolitan areas such as Louisville, Lexington or Cincinnati, should you schedule trips to these areas. In addition, be sure there is always a backup driver for all trips.
- Note: Much of the above may also apply when making reservations for dining in restaurants, cafeterias, etc.
- Don't forget to pray at the start of each trip, asking God's blessings and protection on you all day, and for a safe return home!

If your hip has been damaged by arthritis, a fracture or other conditions, common activities such as walking or getting in and out of a chair may be painful and difficult. Your hip may be stiff and it may be hard to put on your shoes and socks. You may even feel uncomfortable while resting.
If medications, changes in your everyday activities, and the use of walking aids such as a cane are not helpful, you may want to consider hip replacement surgery. By replacing your diseased hip joint with an artificial joint, hip replacement surgery can relieve your pain, increase motion, and help you get back to enjoying normal, everyday activities.
First performed in 1960, hip replacement surgery is one of the most important surgical advances of the last century. Today, more than 193,000 total hip replacements are performed each year in the United States.
How the Normal Hip Works
The hip is one of your body's largest weight-bearing joints. It consists of two main parts: a ball (femoral head) at the top of your thighbone (femur) that fits into a rounded socket (acetabulum) in your pelvis. Bands of tissue called ligaments (hip capsule) connect the ball to the socket and provide stability to the joint. Normally, all of these parts of your hip work in harmony, allowing you to move easily and without pain.

Normally, all of these parts of your hip work in harmony, allowing you to move easily and without pain.
Common Causes of Hip Pain and Loss of Hip Mobility
The most common cause of chronic hip pain and disability is arthritis. Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and traumatic arthritis are the most common forms of this disease.
The most common cause of chronic hip pain and disability is arthritis. are the most common forms of this disease.
Is Hip Replacement Surgery For You?
The decision whether to have hip replacement surgery should be a cooperative one between you, your family, your primary care doctor, and your orthopedic surgeon. Although many patients who undergo hip replacement surgery are age 60 to 80, orthopedic surgeons evaluate patients individually. Recommendations for surgery are based on the extent of your pain, disability and general health status, not solely on age.
You may benefit from hip replacement surgery if:
- Hip pain limits your everyday activities such as walking or bending.
- Hip pain continues while resting, either day or night.
- Stiffness in a hip limits your ability to move or lift your leg.
- You have little pain relief from anti-inflammatory drugs or glucosamine sulfate.
- You have harmful or unpleasant side effects from your hip medications.
Other treatments such as physical therapy or the use of a gait aid such as a cane don't relieve hip pain.
Orthopedic Evaluation
- A medical history, in which your orthopedic surgeon gathers information about your general health and asks questions about the extent of your hip pain and how it affects your ability to perform every day activities.
- A physical examination to assess your hip's mobility, strength and alignment.
- X-rays to determine the extent of damage or deformity in your hip.
- Occasionally, blood tests or other tests such as a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or a bone scan may be needed to determine the condition of the bone and soft tissues of your hip.
Your orthopedic surgeon will review the results of your evaluation with you and discuss whether hip replacement surgery is the best method to relieve your pain and improve your mobility. Other treatment options such as medications, physical therapy or other types of surgery also may be considered.
What to Expect From Hip Replacement Surgery
An important factor in deciding whether to have hip replacement surgery is understanding what the procedure can and cannot do. Most people who undergo hip replacement surgery experience a dramatic reduction of hip pain and a significant improvement in their ability to perform the common activities of daily living.
Following surgery, you will be advised to avoid certain activities, including jogging and high-impact sports, for the rest of your life. You may be asked to avoid specific positions of the joint that could lead to dislocation.
Even with normal use and activities, an artificial joint (prosthesis) develops some wear over time. If you participate in high-impact activities or are overweight, this wear may accelerate and cause the prosthesis to loosen and become painful.
Surgical Procedure
The surgical procedure takes a few hours. Your orthopedic surgeon will remove the damaged cartilage and bone, then position new metal, plastic or ceramic joint surfaces to restore the alignment and function of your hip.
Many different types of designs and materials are currently used in artificial hip joints. All of them consist of two basic components: the ball component (made of a highly polished strong metal or ceramic material) and the socket component (a durable cup of plastic, ceramic or metal, which may have an outer metal shell).
Special surgical cement may be used to fill the gap between the prosthesis and remaining natural bone to secure the artificial joint.
A non-cemented prosthesis has also been developed which is used most often in younger, more active patients with strong bone. The prosthesis may be coated with textured metal or a special bone-like substance, which allows bone to grow into the prosthesis.
Your Stay in the Hospital
You will usually stay in the hospital for a few days. After surgery, you will feel pain in your hip. Pain medication will be given to make you as comfortable as possible.
To protect your hip during early recovery, a positioning splint, such as a V-shaped pillow placed between your legs, may be used.
Walking and light activity are important to your recovery and will begin the day of or the day after your surgery. Most hip replacement patients begin standing and walking with the help of a walking support and a physical therapist the day after surgery. The physical therapist will teach you specific exercises to strengthen your hip and restore movement for walking and other normal daily activities.
Possible Complications After Surgery
The complication rate following hip replacement surgery is low. Serious complications, such as joint infection, occur in less than 2 percent of patients. Major medical complications, such as heart attack or stroke, occur even less frequently.
Blood clots in the leg veins or pelvis are the most common complication of hip replacement surgery. Your orthopedic surgeon may prescribe one or more measures to prevent blood clots from forming in your leg veins or becoming symptomatic.
How Your New Hip is Different
You may feel some numbness in the skin around your incision. You also may feel some stiffness, particularly with excessive bending. These differences often diminish with time and most patients find these are minor compared to the pain and limited function they experienced prior to surgery.
Your new hip may activate metal detectors required for security in airports and some buildings. Tell the security agent about your hip replacement if the alarm is activated. You may ask your orthopedic surgeon for a card confirming that you have an artificial hip.

Anyone fruiting Wickson: I would be grateful to hear your average harvest date relative to some other mid-later season apples...Honeycrisp, Northern Spy,Black Oxford, Reine de reinette (thats for you Scott;)) or any other benchmarks I can use. I gather it is a late season apple, but have not determined how late. And while supposed to be Z4 hardy, I am not sure I can fully ripen it this far north. |

Wickson is a late apple, its a touch later than Reine Des Reinettes for me. Its just before GoldRush, Orleans Reinette, and Rubinette. Scott |

Well I know the timing and sequence won't correspond exactly but that is helpful Scott. I just came across one chart that has it just prior to or with honeycrisp, which overlaps RdR for me. If that's the case I shouldn't have any trouble with it. Scott, are you saying Rubinette ripens close to goldrush? I thought it was quite a bit earlier? I had heard folks are getting ripe rubinette in the north, but to my knowledge goldrush just is not happening. Perhaps the cultivars behave differently moving north? |
- Posted by scottfsmith 6B-7A-MD (My Page) on Mon, Feb 18, 13 at 20:20
Rob, in looking at my logs more I would not put Rubinette so late - the year it was late the tree was young and young trees don't ripen on as reliable a schedule. I should have looked at other years, for example this year Rubinette ripened before Hewes, Hawaii, Blenheim Orange, etc. This last year RdR did not set so I was not looking at that year when comparing logs for you. This last year Wickson ripened even later though, it was similar to GoldRush and Winesap. Scott |

thanks for taking the time to look at that scott I appreciate it. It sounds like wickson may be stretch on some years....I can work with that.....just makes them more of a treat! |

Our favorite synth-punk group has just released a LOL-able video for the crazy infectious "Get A Job" off their latest album A Joyful Noise. The video features the Beth, Nathan, and Hannah dancin' around the pages of the classifieds, acting as cat groomers, phone sex operators, masseuses, telemarketers, dentists, and way more. The idea behind the song and video was inspired by growing up around rich kids whose parents paid for everything in their lives, while the band members of Gossip were sweatin' it and working hard for the money at fast food chains. ("I'd love to stay and party but I gotta go to work." I think we can all relate to that, amirite?) I know I won't be able to get that beat or Beth's voice out of my head for the rest of the day.
Enjoy the amazing video above and while you hum "Girl! You need to work real ha-a-a-ard" take a gander at this list of former jobs the band have had over the years:
NathanMcDonalds Burger King Phone Psychic TelemarketerCustodian at the Evergreen State College Mail order at K Records and at Kill Rock Stars I'm a farmer now and there's no money in it.
HannahPaper boy Dishwasher at a German retirement home Condom store employee Dildo salesperson (This is real and was actually different than the condom store.)

I need to cut the bottom off of several interior doors. These are solid wood paneled doors, poplar, painted. I'll probably cut them off with my 7-1/4" circular saw blade, using a clamping straight edge as a guide. What is the best type of blade to buy for this use? Type, number of teeth, and brands would be appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Type - Sharp # of teeth - Doesn't really matter as long as they are sharp. Brands - Not the cheapest you can find. |
- Posted by sombreuil_mongrel (My Page) on Thu, Jun 20, 13 at 23:35
40 tooth blade with a low hook angle. zero hook angle is good, too. Using a guide should be adequate because you will also bevel the cut slightly afterward with a plane and that will de-fuzz the cut. If it were a veneer door I'd suggest scoring it on top with a sharp knife. Casey. |
Plywood finish blade is another name for what Casey listed. Ace Hardware makes a decent one---mine cost about $30 as I recall. Freud makes a good thin kerf circ. saw finish blade. |
- Posted by sombreuil_mongrel (My Page) on Fri, Jun 21, 13 at 8:12
The low hook angle blade I have used (7 1/4") was not a thin kerf. It was a freud.They cut very slowly and need a lot of pressure but there is no tearout on either side. You can get a 40 tooth thin kerf from Freud that has a normal fast-cutting hook angle, but there will be more tearout on the top side of the cut, so scoring with a knife takes care of that. Casey |
- Posted by mike_kaiser (My Page) on Fri, Jun 21, 13 at 8:38
I have a Freud industrial blade with, I think, 40 teeth that works really, really well. Unfortunately the model number is long gone from the blade. Freud has a couple of 7" blades available. The LU79 should do it ($42 from Amazon). I haven't tried anything in the their Diablo line for a circular saw, although I have used ones of their 10" blades in a SCMS and was less than impressed. Forrest offers their Duraline blade in 7" as well but it's $125. Running a layer of blue painter's tape over the cut line helps too. Actually 3M's green painter's tape worked even better (it had slightly higher adhesion) but it's not as easy to find. |

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. Gary |
You're both cross cutting and ripping at the same time. Scoring first is a great idea. So it tapeing first. Sharp is the key and don't assume a new blade is sharp. And remember it's the bottom of a door. Not a lot of close inspection there. |
- Posted by CabinetHardwareEtc (My Page) on Wed, Jul 24, 13 at 9:07
Since you're using a guide, you may want to raise the blade to score the door first (in order to prevent chipping). Then lower the blade for your final cut. |
- Posted by ourwebsmartinfo (My Page) on Sat, Feb 8, 14 at 6:35
You'll really be needing more than 2 saw blades if you want to do things right. Get yourself a general purpose carbide tipped blade for the rough work. Buy a fine tooth blade for things like paneling and other thin stuff and get a hollow ground blade for the close work. Most any cheap carbide tipped blade is fine for the rough work but you'll want to buy better stuff for the close work you'll be doing. Sears has a good selection of blades to choose from and that's where you can get the best idea of what to buy too. site link |

SAN DIEGO, November 26, 2012 – It will all come down to the fans to decide who takes home the Mirror Ball Trophy as the winner of "Dancing With The Stars: All-Stars" Season 15 after Monday night's results, a very close competition among the three finalists.
Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovoloni are sitting atop the leaderboard after two perfect scores of 30 for a total of 60 points. Kelly Monaco and Val Chmerkovskiy are second with 59 points; and Shawn Johnson and Derek Hough are in third with 57 points.
In the first round, couples danced a routine from earlier in the competition they felt they could improve upon. They could change up the music and choreography.
Kelly and Val danced their paso doble. It received a 9.5 from Carrie Ann Inaba, and 10s from Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli. It showed significant improvement in speed and crispness, but Kelly had a few obvious errors, missing at least one hand hold. It was enjoyable to watch and if graded only on improvement it was the most improved performance.
Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovoloni repeated their samba. Not only did they improve on their original 27 points by getting a perfect score, the two invited everyone to the party and lit up the audience. No one charms a crowd like these two performers and you can't help but be drawn in. The big difference is in Melissa's confidence level. It's sky high. Well done.
The controversy of the night was Shawn Johnson and Derek Hough's quickstep to "Hey Pachuco." They broke two quickstep rules the first time they performed it by breaking hold, and by performing two lifts. This is the reason they only received 26.5 points the first time, even though Carrie Ann called it the best single routine she had ever seen on the show in all 15 season. It was spectacular.
Shawn and Derek repeated the dance with only slight variations, but the breaks in hold and lifts were still there. Once again, the judges penalized them for breaking the rules. It's a calculated risk. Fan votes have the potential for putting a lot of distance between the competitors, much more than the judges can. If Shawn and Derek get more fan votes because they want to be sure and "save" them from low judges' scores, going for the crowd pleasing showstopper will reward them in a big way – with a Mirror Ball Trophy.
On to the freestyle round, where fans are told to "expect the unexpected." But the three choices were not at all unexpected. We knew that Kelly and Val would play up their chemistry, Melissa and Tony would play up her beautiful legs and lines, and Shawn and Derek would play up their athleticism. The routines suited the competitors well and they were well executed.
Kelly and Val danced to the hit "I've Had The Time of My Life" from the movie "Dirty Dancing." Kelly performed an aerial act while Val played the violin (he really does play) as the routine opened, and the couple made use of the professional troupe in the routine. It was pretty and easy to watch but not especially inventive. They received tens from Carrie Ann and Bruno, and a 9.5 from Len.
Melissa and Tony danced a contemporary routine that challenged Melissa to hold perfect positions with beautifully extended legs. It was well staged on multiple level platforms and well choreographed. It was a bit risky as it's easier to cover up any mistakes in faster moving ballroom styles. But there were no mistakes, and Melissa and Tony received a perfect score of 30.
Shawn and Derek pulled out all the stops for their energetic, action packed freestyle which featured members of the Fierce Five U.S. women's Olympic gymnastic team as the "troupe" dancers. While the tumbling was expected, it was sprinkled throughout with traditional ballroom steps, many of which came from Shawn and Derek's routines throughout the season. It was a brilliant piece of choreography from Hough and was the only routine to create the kind of excitement that gets fans on their feet.
Fellow pros and competitors from across the seasons made their favorites known to Twitter followers. Current champion Donald Driver said "All are good friends. I will let you decide" meaning the fans. He's no fool.
Competitors will have once last chance to impress the judges, the "Instadance." They will draw either a samba, cha cha cha or jive at the beginning of Tuesday night's show, and have 20 minutes to put together a routine. These fast paced dances favor Shawn and Derek and Melissa and Tony.
Who will win? Shawn Johnson is the best athlete; Melissa Rycroft is the best pure dancer; Kelly Monaco is well-liked. But it's not all about perfect steps, it's about getting the audience excited, risk taking, and charisma.
It's hard not to root for Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovoloni to win; neither ever has held the Mirror Ball Trophy at the end of the season. But it's hard to bet against an Olympic gold medalist paired with the show's best choreographer. It's up to the fans and I predict they will send Shawn Johnson home Tuesday night with her second Mirror Ball Trophy.
Voting remains open until 11 a.m. Eastern Time/8 a.m. Pacific Time online at http://vote.abc.go.com/shows/dancing-with-the-stars/vote and on Facebook at https://apps.facebook.com/votedwts/ Phone and text voting close one hour after the show airs.

OBC Holding files for bankruptcy
Posted onOBC Holding Co., the parent company of Olympic Boat Centers in Redmond, Wash., has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
The voluntary petition was filed last Thursday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California. The filing will allow the company to continue operating while it reorganizes under the protection of the courts in an effort to pay off its creditors.
The dealership has 21 West Coast locations from San Diego to British Columbia, and sells several Brunswick Corp. boat brands, including Maxum, Meridian and Trophy boats. Brunswick spokesman Dan Kubera said the boatbuilder is following the case closely to ensure its customers will continue to be serviced in this area.
"Brunswick intends to make sure the outcome will allow its brands to retain and increase their market-leading positions," Kubera told Soundings Trade Only in an e-mail this morning. "We are confident our consumers and brands will end up with healthier West Coast service and distribution as a result of this process."
Brunswick owns a 12 percent stake in OBC Holdings Co., according to court documents.
Olympic Boat Centers has between $50 and $100 million in assets, and owes creditors between $50 and $100 million, according to the bankruptcy petition.
Other affiliates that filed for protection are Olympic Boat Centers Canada Ltd., also in Redmond, and Marine Center in Canoga Park, Calif. Both listed assets and debts as much as $100 million.

@artificial- Never looked at it like that... but I really like that theory.
Maybe the emerald dream is a reflection of this. We "kill" Cthun in vanilla, and in TBC we hear about the dream growing darker. We "kill" Yogg and afterward we get the Stormrage Novel.

Shadman Islam (126 not out) and Joyraz Sheik (81 not out) helped Bangladesh waltz to a ten-wicket victory over Afghanistan in its Under-19 World Cup Group B game in Abu Dhabi on Saturday (February 15).
After winning the toss and inserting Afghanistan at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium Nursery 2, Bangladesh overhauled the 213-run target without hardly having to break a sweat.
Islam hit 14 fours and a solitary six in his 142-ball knock while Sheik struck 11 fours. The duo was watchful against left-arm spinner Sharafuddin Ashraf, who conceded only 32 runs in 10 overs, but did not spare the rest as they reached the target with 45 balls to spare.
Earlier, Afghanistan's openers, Usman Ghani and Mohammad Mujtaba, provided the team with a sturdy 69-run opening stand before Ghani was run out by Mosaddek Hossain for 27. Mosaddek, the offspinner, then bowled Mujtaba for 47 and Bangladesh effected three more run outs as Afghanistan's innings began to unravel quickly.
Mosaddek returned figures of 3 for 19 and Rahatul Ferdous, the left-arm spinner, grabbed 2 for 38 as Afghanistan was restricted to 212, a total that Bangladesh chased down with consummate ease.
Afghanistan faces Australia next at the same ground on Monday while Bangladesh's next match will be against Namibia at Sheikh Zayed Stadium Nursery 1 on the same day.

Last yr. Country Woman June/July 2007 page 50 had some cute strawberry suncatchers- I saw xmas ornaments. I made 1 up & didn't think I wanted to use embroidery thread so changed it to 2 in headpin, finished it at top after everything was stacked & tight into loop & made a gold colored hanger so it was ready to go on tree. Some of my starbursts were irridicent but the plain red & green was fine, I just used up what I had. You may need to add a small red bead over headpin when you start . If someone has the issue & could show what they look like it would give you better idea. Also the xmas tree earrings I posted are kind of upsidedown version of these so would give those folks better idea of how they look. I'm trying to figure this all out. The strawberries are about 1 1/2 in. long & I gave 3 to each of my relatives,as I made up something for them each yr. They like them. Jan |
