Corporate apologies, customer power are rife with story potential
The last few weeks have offered no shortage of corporate moves resulting in mass consumer umbrage, bad PR and utlimately a financail toll on the companies making the misstep.
Think Netflix and its short-lived, New-Cokesque "Qwikster" faux pas. Think Bank of America's backpedaling on its $5 debit-card fee. Think JetBlue and its hungry passengers suffering lack of lavatories aboard stranded aircraft.
And now, we have Safeway in the crosshairs for allegedly throwing the legal book at shoppers who may or may not have intended to abscond after an unpaid-for in-store snack. This story in particular has lighted up blogs, message boards, comments sections on news sites and other venues of public discourse. And my unscientific survey shows that in tens of thousands of comments, sentiment is running about 90 to 1 against the supermarket chain.
If you want to jump aboard the corporate bungling story, here are a few ideas for relating some local coverage to the headlines:
SUPERMARKET SHRINKAGE. I've been boggled, in following the Safeway story and commentary, at the overwhelming number of shoppers who think it's A-OK to consume unpaid-for food during a grocery-buying trip. There's a term for it — grazing — and ABC News reports that one in five shoppers admits to it. The "What Would You Do?" TV show also aired an episode about the trend; here it is on YouTube.
Given the notoriously low profit margins at supermarkets — I can't help but wonder what this short of shrinkage costs food stores, and what they feel they can and cannot do about it. Are stores and shelving designed to minimize it? Are tactics like cash registers at deli counters designed to prompt noshers to pay? I think a behind-the-scenes report on preventing, spotting and dealing with supermarket theft would be fascinating in any market, especially with the big holiday food season — rife with luxury items and splurges — coming up. You could even include graphics of supermarket design elements, special packaging or display units and other theft-prevention strategies that stores use.
Philadelphia-based Checkpoint Systems just this week released its Global Retail Theft Barometer report showing that retail theft is up 6 percent in the U.S. this year; much of the losses though, are attributed to employee dishonesty rather than shopper theft. Again, how do the stores in your market work against this costly liability?
NEGATIVE PUBLICITY AS AN INVESTMENT LIABILITY. Through a bit of Googling it appears that companies ranging from Spirit Airlines to Goldman Sachs are including "negative publicity" in disclosure statements made in SEC filings. You might poke around among the corporate filings of companies you cover to see if they've had to similarly warn investors.
ARE COMPANIES ALWAYS THE BAD ACTORS? From a journalistic ethics standpoint, I've followed much of the coverage of the Netflix, BofA, Safeway, etc. stories and found some of it to be knee-jerk and sadly lacking in objectivity. There seems to be a tendency among reporters to give the benefit of the doubt to the consumer or patron or passenger and to omit some facts or circumstances that could mitigate the black eye to companies.
For example, in the banking fees coverage, I read few stories that acknowledged the prevalence of fees in previous banking eras, or that made the effort to report how costs of banking compare these days than it was even in higher interest-rate eras or pre-ATM. I can remember paying $5 a month a couple of decades ago for the privilege of having a passbook savings account, for example, and I had to schlep to the bank to make a cash deposit! Financial products and technology are a lot more convenient and plentiful — an objective reporter might want to ask, why do we expect to not pay for them? Do we not pay for Internet access, or cable TV, or roadside assistance, or a cup of coffee from other local businesses?
Same with the JetBlue story; the airline is being blamed but — did it have the means or the authority to physically unload passengers snowbound on the tarmac? You might take a pre-emptive look at what would happen should a stranded plane be sitting out on a taxiway this winter at your airport — what's the chain of command, specifically who controls the shuttle buses and ground traffic, what contractors are in use and what are the bad-weather clauses in their contracts, and what other factors and staff contribute to getting a planeload of people off the jetliner and into the terminal? I think a real outline of the roles and accountability would be a neat pre-travel-season look at the issue rather than a knee-jerk blame-the-airline response afterward.
Same with Safeway; common sense says that the grocery chain had little to do with a police decision to send a toddler to protective services, or several of the other factors that made this story a somewhat dubious national talker. What is the industry's point of view? Are grocery stores now supposed to exempt expectant moms from shoplifting suspicion, or suspend their pilfering policies when children are in tow? Should they post prominent signs outlining in-store eating and payment rules? Do zero-tolerance policies like the one applied in Hawaii reduce exposure to profiling charges even as they open the company to heckling when a sympathetic person is charged?
I didn't see many of these questions asked or addressed in coverage of the corporate gaffes. But keeping in mind that companies have the right to be profitable (on behalf of shareholders like you and me) and to minimize their losses help make stories more well-rounded.

Steamboat Springs District
Many insects and disease concerns exist throughout the Steamboat Springs District.
Insects and Diseases
Common Insect & Disease Concerns
Bark Beetles
Bark beetles are insects that feed on the cambium (the layer beneath the bark) of trees. Most bark beetles breed in trees that are severely stressed or dying. A few beetles are capable of killing trees, either through mass attacks and/or through the introduction of disease causing-fungi. The two most critical beetles on the Steamboat District are mountain pine beetle and spruce beetle.
Mountain pine beetle (MPB) is prevalent throughout Jackson and Routt counties and increasing annually. MPB only affects larger (i.e., >8 inches in diameter) mature lodgepole pine or ponderosa pine trees. Current areas of concern include:
- Jackson County - the area around Rand and northwest of Walden
- Routt County - the Morrison Creek drainage, Lynx Pass area, Fish Creek drainage, Soda Creek Highlands Subdivision, Steamboat Ski area, Steamboat Lake area and Seedhouse Road area
Signs and Symptoms
- Popcorn-shaped masses of resin (pitch tubes) on the trunk
- Reddish boring dust in bark crevices or adjacent to the tree base
- Reddish needles (Crowns of successfully attacked trees usually turn off-color beginning in May or June following the previous summer's attack.)
Control & Prevention
- Maintaining a healthy, vigorous tree or stand is critical
- Natural controls include woodpeckers and a few insects (limited application during high levels of attack)
- Infested logs can be treated in various ways to kill developing beetles:
- Burning, removing bark, burying or intense solar radiation
- Chemical options, unfortunately, are greatly limited. Prevention options are limited to carbaryl (Sevin) and permithrin (Astro). Apply to high value living trees in early summer prior to beetle emergence
Spruce beetle (SB) is similar to mountain pine beetle in all aspects expect one — spruce beetle differs typically prefer blowdown material. Under normal circumstances they don't attack live trees.
Because of the Routt Divide blowdown, a current spruce beetle epidemic is occurring. We can expect to see beetles eventually attacking live trees as they start leaving the main blowdown area in search of suitable standing hosts. Current areas of concern for the spruce beetle are the Buffalo Pass area, Rabbit Ears area, Seedhouse Road area and the Steamboat Ski Area.
Additional Information
White Pine Weevil
White pine weevil can be the most serious insect pest to Colorado blue spruce in landscape plantings. The insect larvae feed underneath the spruce leader, girdling the plant and causing a stunted top. Once the top leader is killed some side branches will begin growing skyward to replace the old terminal leader. If this occurs, train the best one by removing other competing branches so that only one new terminal leader remains.
Insecticides applied in the spring when the weevils feed and lay eggs can provide control for that year. Standard bark beetle or wood borer insecticides (Sevin, Dursban, Astro) applied at the recommended rates should provide control. Application will need to occur annually to prevent annual attacks.
Additional Information
Poplar Borers
Poplar borers primarily affect aspen, but cottonwood and poplar can also be hosts. Damage is associated with moist bark areas and is generally indicated by the presence of sawdust, a result of the insect tunneling into the sapwood. Chronically infected trees exhibit a black varnish-like stain on the bark below points of attack.
Control: Because of the long life cycle, poplar borer is difficult to control. Standard borer treatment of insecticides (Sevin) applied to the trunk should provide coverage throughout the activity. Application to existing areas of attack (where egg laying is concentrated) should be thorough.

Aspen Leaf Spots
Several types of fungi can cause spots on aspen leaves. None of these are detrimental to aspens unless several consecutive years of defoliation occur. The best method of control and prevention is by removing the infected leaves on the ground to reduce available spores for future spread.

Tier GOD: Your best/main champion. nothing else to say...
Senior Member
So true. Sick to sh^t of all these tiers being created. It's the summoner, not the champion.
If you blame the enemy champion for you getting dominated, 9/10 times it's your fault.
wrong ^
I have to agree with Lixa here even though Lixa is a bit snarly these days. There are just some champs you WON'T see at high levels. As the competition gets tighter and the player skill levels approach "as good as you can get" the inherent champ abilities, overall damage output, damage mitigation, CC and utlitily, become more and more critical. For Example RANGED DPS > TANKS/BRUISERS> MELEE DPS > SUPPORT in TT. Having one of each of the first 3 is probably your best bet for synergy.
See, if the skill is as good as it gets, surely people would be playin to the enemies disadvantages and not letting themselves get caught out? For example, you don't chase singed with a squishy, you don't let trynd get within melee range of you and you dont initiate against ad sion if his stun and ult are up. It just seems like people who can't adapt for situations or play to disadvantages always cry about how op the champ that ruins them is. I'm not saying counter picking isn't a big part of this game, an some champs like Eve are nerfed on purpose, but even if your whole team is counter picked you just wait till you've got the jump and poke teir towers where they aren't. Iv won a game which literally had only 2 or three kills on each team because they spent half the game having to figure out where we were and by the time they did we had poked a tower 1/2 health and were b2b in preparation for a Backdoor. It just seems people rely too much on "zomg op champ" and not enough on tactics and smart plays

"My name is Cheesesteak, and First Descents saved my life. I was diagnosed with Stage IIIA ovarian cancer in December, 2007. In August, 2009, I went rock-climbing in Jackson, Wyoming with First Descents. When I arrived at camp, my life as a survivor was still very much defined by fear, sadness and anger. My body had been debilitated and weakened from my treatments. I was unsure how to go on living. Through First Descents, I was given the opportunity to connect with other young adults who truly understood my struggles. And through First Descents, I realized that it was possible to live fully – and joyfully – after cancer. I truly cannot imagine my life as a survivor without First Descents. It means the world to me. Through Team FD, my hope is to raise enough money to give another young adult this same second chance at life." —Cheesesteak, 2009
In 2001, ten young adults took to the rivers of Colorado in white water kayaks. For seven days, they learned the basics of the sport, eventually conquering Class III rapids before the week's end. They were there to prove themselves and to prove a point: that cancer, no matter how aggressive, dormant, advanced, or invasive, would never be stronger than they were.
First Descents offers young adult cancer fighters and survivors (ages 18 to 39) a free week-long outdoor adventure experience designed to enable them to climb, paddle and surf beyond their diagnosis, defy their cancer, reclaim their lives and connect with others doing the same.
During the week-long First Descents experience, young adult survivors are empowered through conquering legitimate outdoor challenges to push their limits and face their fears, and by doing so, they are able to regain the confidence and self-efficacy lost to cancer. First Descents places an emphasis on each individual's experience and provides the right support for every participant to achieve their goals for the week. The experience is designed to allow healing to happen naturally and organically – no forced conversations and no structured group sessions or therapy. Each program is limited to 15 campers, ensuring individualized care, medical attention and an intimate experience with fellow survivors. First Descents programs are available to young adults with cancer regardless of their financial means. All meals, accommodations and program activities are provided free of charge, including travel scholarships, when needed. In 2011 First Descents will host 27 week-long programs in 7 states (ID, MT, OR, CO, NC, UT, CA) and Canada.

"Our volume has been increasing because we're able to get more accounts," he said.
"Our business is substantially up," said Verne Lusby, president of FreshPoint Southern California, Industry, Calif.
"Same store sales are growing, not dramatically, but we went through five years of straight decline," he said.
The company's main products include greens, tomatoes, potatoes and onions, but the firm also distributes a number of specialty items that are cropping up in more restaurants as a result of "cross-cultural and infused menus."
"Even some of the casual dining restaurants that used to be pretty much meat and potatoes now have spring rolls or some kind of Asian (offering) on the menu," Lusby said.
Much of the growth in foodservice business is from restaurants that are doing new things with traditional core items, like kale, brussels sprouts, green onions, beets and parsley, said Mike O'Leary, vice president of sales and marketing for the fresh-cut division of Boskovich Farms Inc., Oxnard, Calif.

Exposition (narrative)
Narrative exposition, or simply exposition, is the insertion of important background information within a story; for example, information about the setting, characters' back-stories, prior plot events, historical context, etc.[1] In a specifically literary context, exposition appears in the form of expository writing embedded within the narrative. Exposition is one of four rhetorical modes (also known as modes of discourse), along with description, argumentation, and narration, as elucidated by Alexander Bain and John Genung[2][further explanation needed]. Each of the rhetorical modes is present in a variety of forms and each has its own purpose and conventions. There are several ways to accomplish exposition.
Information dump[edit]
"Information dump" occurs when background information is not interwoven with the narrative.[3] Scenes in a playscript are often introduced with a brief information dump to explain the situation the characters are in. In serial television dramas, information dumps often appear in episodes as a brief montage of scenes from earlier episodes, prefaced with the phrase "Previously on [name of series]".
"As you know, Bob" or "idiot lecture" are terms that describe a situation where characters use needless language for expository reasons.[4][5] For example, actors in a movie may call their spouse "wife" or "husband" instead of by their first name so that the audience knows they are married. "Villain speech" is a form of idiot lecture wherein villains describe their sinister plans to the hero they have caught.
Incluing is a technique of world building, in which the reader is gradually exposed to background information about the world in which a story is set. The idea is to clue the readers into the world the author is building, without them being aware of it. This is in opposition to infodumping, where a concentrated amount of background material is given all at once in the story, often in the form of a conversation between two characters, both of whom should already know the material under discussion. (The so-called As you know, Bob conversation.)
Both incluing and infodumping are forms of exposition and are frequently used in science fiction and fantasy, genres where the author has the task of making the reader believe in a world that does not exist. Writers in other genres have less use for these techniques, as they can often depend on the reader's familiarity with the "real world".
Incluing can be done in a number of ways: through dialogues, flashbacks, character's thoughts,[6] background details, in-universe media[7] or the narrator telling a back-story.[6]
The word incluing is attributed to fantasy and science fiction author Jo Walton.[8] She defined it as "the process of scattering information seamlessly through the text, as opposed to stopping the story to impart the information."[9]

I need ideas for some little doodad or other to get a deplorably unacquisitive relative who has a landscape business. Most of his time in the field is spent selling and supervising, but occasionally he gets hands on, usually when there's an ice storm or flood or some other awful thing befalling his clients' manicured properties. I've been reduced to browsing the Lee Valley site and wondering if he'd like a pair of Silver-Gripper tweezers or whether a set of magnetic cord holders might not someday be just what he needed... Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! |

Check out Duluth Trading Company. They have some cool stuff. I bought a cab commander, which is an organizer for a truck. Around $35, maybe more than you wanted to spend. They have some cool leather business card cases, and cell phone cases, and pages of doodads too. Have fun! |
I don't know what your budget is, but the best $100 I spent in the last couple of years (aside from Patriots tickets) was for a laser measuring device that is sold at most home improvement stores. It is by Black & Decker and called "Fat Max". It saves an incredible amount of time taking measurements out in the field. About $90 at Home Depot. |
I love my waterproof clipboard. |

deplorably unacquisitive? sounds like the first order of business is practicality. Anything from Duluth Trading. If you are not familiar with this company, look it up. If nothing else, the catalogs are amusing. Ditto on the cab commander. Also, anything fire hose. The best jacket I have is their fleece-lined fire hose shirt-jac. The most comfortable jeans I can remember wearing are their kevlar jeans (with a five year! warranty). SmartWool socks. Wow. I work with a woman who says they are like sex for your feet. A.M. Leonard. Gempler's. Also known as soft-core porn for hort people. (The hard core is the trade shows.) |

How about one of the better grade lasers. They make great pointing tools. I keep one to point to good limbs, or defects out of reach. And mine is only like a $20 one. There are nicer ones available, and I heard that green is a nice color to use too. One company makes one that you could start a fire with, so I hear, for about $200. Probably too intense for a pointer. Are the Felco hand pruners with the disinfectant spray bottle to big and to much? About $300 - but unique. M. D. Vaden of Oregon |
I think that our OP is looking for something in the $10-$20 range, judging by the items she was wondering about in her post. My vote would be a 30X lighted hand held microscope. Ideal for identification purposes, they can readily be found for less than 20 bucks. |

It sounds like a two piece rain suit would be a good thing. I know you can never get enough of them. They are never where you are, if you're in the truck and it's raining, they're in the garage or office. If you're in the office, they're in the truck! |
Thank you guys so much. This is just what I needed, and perhaps even more because now I'm in that shopper in the candy store stage. The price range is actually fairly open under $150 because I was going to let his wife choose a main present and then add some little thing to it, so literally all the suggestions are open. Just have to find out what he already has to settle on something. And quick since I've let the last few days get away from me and because I'm no longer going to have to have her choose something there locally. Happy Holidays everyone! |

Last night on my daily walk, I found the cutest little bike set out for the trash. It's a red Radio Flyer 2 wheeled bike, with tires only about 10" in diameter. I can't imagine why anyone would throw such a sweet thing away. They had other good looking stuff, and if I'd not been on foot, I'd have taken more. The kicker was that it was beginning to rain, and by the time I got it home (only 2 blocks, but it was awkward to wheel/carry), I was drenched. When I get back from vacation, I plan to buy it(or find it) some teeny baskets and plant it. Since it's red, I'm wondering about replacing the plants with greens and Xmas balls at Christmas. Have you ever seen this done? My husband discovered my treasure this morning, and the eyerolling has begun again! |

I have in fact seen an older bike with greenery and Xmas lights in the basket up front. It was a larger, woman's bike though, it looked fantastic and I have seen that idea in decorating magazines. Hope you'll take a pic for us and share. |

By Mike Hutton 613-0141 or email@example.com November 3, 2013 9:38PM
Lisa Schreiber/Post-Tribune Gary Wirt head coach Omar Vasquez laughs as he coaches in the final minute of their regional semifinal win against Western at Plymouth High School in Plymouth Saturday, March 10, 2007.

Updated: November 5, 2013 1:04AM
GARY — Of all the people, it had to be Craig Morris.
Or it appears it's Morris.
At least someone really wants Morris to coach the Lew Wallace girls basketball team.
"What is he going to do, break some girl's jaw if they don't rebound better," former Wallace coach Omar Vazquez said. "This is crazy. It's ridiculous."
Vazquez is incensed for multiple reasons, but one huge one stands out.
Morris, a reserve police officer, was accused in February of punching a 20-year old Gary resident in the face and breaking her jaw after she was arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting law enforcement. The girl, Hamikah I. Qualls, ended up in the hospital. Morris resigned from the reserves after the incident.
Morris was running practice last week, according to Ronald Hearns, an assistant for Vazquez last year.
Both Hearns and Vazquez are furious with the school system for undoing their good work from the last season and for failing to recognize what is best for the girls.
Of course, it's not even close to being that simple.
Hearns and Vazquez both want the job.
Vazquez thought he had it after turning around a program that was struggling to field a team into an 11-6 program last year.
However, they tried to fire him last year for reasons that are unclear. Public outrage broke out when Vazquez was shut out of practice and he returned again with Hearns as his assistant.
Vazquez found out a couple weeks ago that he had to interview for the job again.
He said it was a joke.
When Vanessa Nichols, the athletic director at West Side who was filling in for Wallace while they were between AD's, asked him for references, he knew he didn't have a chance.
That's when Hearns, who has worked as an assistant for 24 years at Horace Mann and Wallace, thought he had the job.
Both Nichols and Melvin Yancey, the boys basketball coach, had recommended Hearns for the job. Hearns said afterward that Nichols even gave him a contract that he signed.
But Earl Smith III, the son of former Gary city athletic director Earl Smith, Jr. wanted Morris. Smith is the Dean of Students at Lew Wallace.
Smith apparently got his wish — at least for now.
Hearns, a soft spoken loyal assistant, is furious about the situation.
He had been told by Charles Patch, the Director of Transportation and the acting city athletic director before he went on sick leave with a broken ankle, that he was going to get the position.
Patch had asked him to start scheduling games and getting stuff in place for the season.
Hearns did that. Last year, he also spent money out of his pocket for laundry detergent to wash the uniforms. Vazquez said he bought basketballs and secured donations for the cost of the uniforms, which was $500.
Hearns knew that Vazquez was doomed after he refused to let the principal reevaluate him. Vazquez said he got a positive evaluation from the athletic director, but that the principal refused to sign off on it. She wanted it changed and he wouldn't let that happen.
Hearns said they want him to be an assistant, but he's done even though it hurts him to quit.
"They just did me wrong," he said.
Yancey said a decision hasn't been made on who the new coach is yet even though Morris is at practice. Hearns believes they are lying. They are lying, he said, because they needed him to give them information about the schedule.
They'll make a call, according to Yancey, at the next board meeting, which is on Nov. 12.
That's the day after the season started.
Vazquez stated emphatically that he's the best person for the job and by definition, he should be the guy in charge. The school system gives preferences to coaches who work as teachers in the system.
He's right. He is, but that means little in the Gary school system, where circumventing the law and defying common sense and failing to recognize that the kids come first is regrettably fairly normal.

EU Patents Won't Stay Dead
Zonk posted more than 9 years ago | from the like-legislative-zombies dept.
410sconeu writes "Apparently the EC is ignoring the restart directive, and has placed software patents as an A-Item on the Council of Minister's agenda with an aim for approval on Monday." From the article: "The directive is pitched as offering greater protection for software developers. Opponents, including many in the European parliament, fear it will simply provide big players, including America's powerful and litigious software giants, with a very large stick to batter upstart developers and the Open Source movement." Update: 03/04 22:04 GMT by Z : And just as quick as you please Denmark stops things in their tracks. Denmark's objection means that there will have to be further debate before the patents get the stamp.

These Nintendo Christmas stockings will help the inner geek let loose this holiday season.
Holidays are a great time to legitimately let out the inner nerd and decorate the room, home or office in all the geeky things your heart desires. While other times, it may be overbearing for fellow friends, Christmas is a time to share and accept, so rub in all the geekiness you can muster. The 8-bit is a lovely festive homage to the old school games from the '90s and even comes with a Nintendo game controller—no, not the actual one—in a cute pixelated design. They say nerds are making a comeback and they definitely are. While everyone else has a normal red and white fluffy stocking on the mantel this year, all eyes will be on your cool retro stocking.

Hardy nails are called cement siding nails. They are galvanized with fairly broad heads. The length is like a #8, IIRC Casey |
IIRC, a pilot hole is required as well... can't just drive it through "virgin" as with real wood. |

- Program Description
In the minds of many, Butler High School has fallen on hard times. Enrollment is down, public image is less than ideal, and we want to change that. We want to Re-imagine Butler. This has led to the creation of the Butler Theatre Project.
The Butler Theatre Project seeks to revitalize Butler by bringing a high quality arts program back into Butler High School. Our students will not be held back by chronic low expectations and will be able to become critical consumers and creators of art. We seek to change the way the community views education at S.R. Butler High School. We seek to extend to our students a new pathway of opportunity that is community driven, innovative, and transformational.Butler High School has an amazing opportunity to change the way theatre is done in urban, public, schools. We have an auditorium, recalling the old legacy of Butler, that if repaired can host world class theatre. We have students, talented and eager students, waiting for an opportunity to bring art to their community. By revitalizing this department we can realize the talents of our students, bring arts back to the school, and re-imagine Butler High School and the communities we serve.

(Feb. 6, 2:53 p.m.) Despite California's continuing drought, Salinas Valley grower-shippers do not expect supply gaps in the spring lettuce crop from Huron.
Fresno-based Westlands Water District (the state's largest), which serves Huron, expects no water this year from the federal government because of a combination of low rain falls and federal endangered species law, said Sarah Woolf, a spokeswoman for the district, though no official allotment decisions have yet been made.
"It just seems impossible this can actually be the case," Woolf said Jan. 30.
Woolf said this will affect growers in Huron where most major Salinas growers and shippers transition their fall and spring lettuce crops between Salinas and Yuma, Ariz., to maintain supplies of leafy greens for fresh-cut processors, retailers and foodservice companies.
It's the first time the district will not receive an allotment, Woolf said, after seeing its water supply severely restricted in 2008.
With spring lettuce crops already planted, Salinas-area companies said they have enough water to cover their crops in Huron during the three to four week spring transition in March and a similar transition in November, though they expect to pay more for less water.
"We're pretty sure we'll have the lettuce we want this year in Huron, but beyond that, we don't know," said Joe Pezzini, chief operating officer at Ocean Mist Farms, Castroville, Calif.
Steve Church, sales manager and principal of Church Bros. LLC, Salinas, said the company hasn't reduced acres or changed the varieties of its Huron crop but said future cut backs aren't out of the picture, especially with the cost of water.
"It will be more expensive because of the water," Church said.
John D'Arrigo, president of D'Arrigo Bros. of California, Salinas, said this year will be the first time the company doesn't plant lettuce in Huron during the spring or fall. The company has phased out its Huron crop over the past several years, he said, because the rising cost of water.
"This the first year we're not going to be in Huron for 40 years," D'Arrigo said.
Avoiding Huron, D'Arrigo said, means planting and harvesting lettuce for longer in Yuma and Salinas and hoping the weather doesn't ruin lingering crops. If it does that could create supply gaps in lettuce, he said.
Drought conditions in California last year are estimated to have cost the state $308 million in agricultural production, according to the California Department of Food and Agriculture. $98 million of that was lost in vegetable, melon and nursery plants.

There's Still Time to Apply Lime"This time of year, limestone quarries are either out of limestone or have frozen piles of ag lime which can't be accessed until the spring thaw," says Dr. Andrew Hoiberg, Director of Research and Development at Calcium Products. "In many locations, snow prevents lime applications. These are just a few complications from an unusual 2013 weather year that started with an extremely wet and late spring and ended with a late harvest. Cool fall soil temperatures caused many growers and dealers to choose anhydrous application over limestone application." According to Hoiberg, applying more nitrogen fertilizer (the main source for acidity) and skipping limestone application is a recipe for lower yields. Soil pH of 5.7 can cost a grower an additional $200 per acre of income at today's prices, even more if the pH is lower. A University of Wisconsin study cites low pH as reducing yield up to 40% (1). As soil acidity is lowered, corrective measures to bring soils back to optimal conditions for crops are harder to achieve. Managing soil pH on a yearly basis is the most effective way to maintain optimal soil pH. "Ignoring one of the most important agronomic factors like pH correction will cause yields to suffer," says Hoiberg. "Growers have many inputs to balance, and pH is one issue that's often pushed to the back burner. Generally speaking, growers may decide to apply lime every three to five years. If conditions are not optimal for an application of ag lime, they usually wait until the next year. No other farm input is treated in this way. Growers should take a proactive approach to managing pH, as they do all other inputs for maximum yields." Heading into spring planting season, ag lime application ceases as dealers transition into fertilizer applications. There is an option to help growers increase soil pH and protect yields. "With our SuperCal 98G advanced engineered lime, growers can see soil pH improvement in weeks instead of years," says Hoiberg. "This means that even if growers cannot apply lime until spring, they can still protect yields and improve nutrient utilization." SuperCal 98G is a unique pH correcting material. It is made from 98% pure calcitic limestone that is finely ground to fully react in the soil. During manufacturing, the product is passed through 100-mesh screens to create extremely small lime particles. The size impacts the spread throughout the field, how quickly the lime reacts in the soil solution and how quickly and completely it moves through the soil profile. The smaller the particle, the more surface area it will cover. For example, one ton of 30 mesh standard ag lime covers one acre. One ton of 100 mesh SuperCal 98G covers five acres. SuperCal 98G is pelletized to be applied like any dry fertilizer at any time. |

I would like some input on paint brand and type (latex vs. oil-based) for kitchen cabinets. I have seen Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams, Pratt & Lambers, and Dunn Edwards suggested. I have kids, so the paint needs to be durable.
Also, should I apply a topcoat over the paint? Any suggestions on what to use? Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Latex ENAMEL from any of those paint companies would do you well. (I myself prefer Benj Moore and I'd avoid Behr like the plague!) I did put a top coat of Minwax' "Water Based POLYCRYLIC" over the paint. It adds to the "cleanability" and does help strengthen the surface. Steve |
Ditto. I've had just incredible success with Sherwin Williams Proclassic Waterborne Interior Acrylic Enamel. Great, great stuff for woodwork, furniture, cabinets. Smooth as glass when applied, looks great, stands up to 3-year olds. Check it out. |
Unfortunately the SW ProClassic doesn't come in deep colors. Neither does the new BM Waterborne Impervo. I am painting a deep color with a satin finish. Any suggestions? |
- Posted by Back_Yard_Guy (My Page) on Mon, Apr 11, 05 at 21:26
Like Putz, I've had great luck with Benjamin Moore. I also wouldn't touch Behr with a 10' pole. I've had equally great results with Pratt & Lambert, and based on some recent experiences, I have put Sherwin Williams in the same category as Behr. |
- Posted by Cathy(email@example.com) onWed, Sep 13, 06 at 22:16
How does the BM Waterborne Impervo and Cabinet Coat compare? I'm trying to do as much research as I can before I paint my cabinets. Any Opinions??? |
I don't usually follow this forum but will throw in my $0.02 worth. Prep is often more critical than the topcoat. Have the cabinets been primed, sanded etc? Are you recoating over old paint? |
- Posted by patches123 (My Page) on Mon, Oct 16, 06 at 12:30
A lady on the kitchen forum used BM Imnpervo in a deep dark chocolate color and is very happy...her name is girlwithaspirn. You might try checking her posts over ont he kitchen forum. |
I'm using the Cabinet Coat paint on my kitchen cabinets and woodwork. I discovered this wonderful paint in the Home Decorating forum and the following link will give you more information about it: |
Here is a link that might be useful: Cabinet Coat Paint
I've used CC and it's great but it only comes in light/pastel colors. We painted our cabinets a deep Tuscan Red using BM's oil-based enamel (Impervo I think). Clean up was more difficult, of course, but they turned out nice and the finish has withstood pounding from my granddaughter's push toys. |
- Posted by silvergold (My Page) on Sun, Nov 12, 06 at 16:41
We actually have had excellent results with Behr. We have painted cabinets in two bathrooms as well as a TV cabinet in our bedroom. We lightly sanded the surface to rough it up and then primed with Zinzer (make sure it says 'for glossy surfaces'). We have had them painted for a couple of years now with no sign of wear. Prior to that we had used a paint called Quick Solution Acrylic. The nice thing about it is that it does not require a primer. The colors are very limited, though, and it isn't available locally any more. |
Having millwork done in my entire house (remodel...), want my kitchen painted, and possibly some other built ins as well. Is enamel paint better than lacquer and varnish? Would you also use it in living room or children's room? We're using BM-paints. We don't have small children, I'm more worried about splashing water around the sink-area... |

Has anyone used the Krylon Transitions kitchen cabinet paint kit? |
"Is enamel paint better than lacquer and varnish?" Generally. One of the problems with just about all the paints now on the market is the reduced VOC rules making the pait excessively thick and preventing good leveling after application. Add Floetrol to latex paints and Penetrol to alkyd paint to improve the handling and leveling. About 4-8 ounces per gallon seems to be right most of the time. I usually add it in a paint bucket to the paint and leave the can of paint 'straight.' |

"I would also LOVE A GREAT shine to them." There are number of full gloss acrylic paints available. The need some Floetrol for leveling, but dry to a hard glossy surface. |
Stick with an enamel paint, one of the hardest. Save some paint. |
I went to ace hardware to buy benjamin moore paint for old kitchen cabinets. paint person said kensington clark was much better for old cabinets than benjamin moore, so I bought it. I don't see anything on this forum about using Kc. ?????????? do I need to just write off this gallon of kc and go back and buy benjamin moore? joann |

If you will notice, some of these comments are as far back as 2005, so I would not ditch what was suggested to you at the store just because some people like other products. Maybe this is the new kid on the block, and very good. I don't think in a case like this there is one "best" product. Like someone said, sometimes it depends on your individual surface, and also prep work is very. very important. Also, there are tools involved. If you are using a brush to apply, what is the best size, type, bristle material, etc... Some people will tell you that you will not get a good result doing it yourself, and to hire a professional. Experience is 20/20. |

Just curious why some don't like Behr? I've used a lot of it in my home, and other than the one time I tried the pain and primer in one (don't) I have been very happy with it. What don't I know? |
- Posted by CabinetHardwareEtc (My Page) on Wed, Jul 24, 13 at 9:11
Definitely stick with latex. Granted, oil paint goes on smoother and leaves a great finish, but it yellows a bit over time. You won't even notice it until you go to touch something up. I like Muralo paint. Yes... I know... you've never heard of it. But still, it's great stuff. Hard to find, but worth it IMO. See the link below. |

I think latex, but I'm no professional. I am about 3/4's done with painting my kitchen cabinets, and believe it or not, I used spray (from a can) on the doors and matching latex on the bases. It's been about 4 months since I started it, I'm embarrassed to say since I can do only a small section at a time, but here's what I use: 1. sanding block (easy and quick since I have mostly flat surfaces) 2. Rustoleum ultra cover satin espresso spray and brush-on (2 coats each) 3. Minwax polycrylic protective finish (3 coats each) I'll post a link to the pictures |

Small said he'll gladly take a lower price if it means getting rid of all his melons.
"I hope somebody buys them at some price," he said. "The last eight years we've been able to get rid of them. I hope we can this year."
Fresh-Pik expects to begin harvesting watermelons about July 1, with shipments continuing through mid-September, Sharp said.
Production of specialty sprite melons will likely begin in late June and wind up about Sept. 1, Sharp said. Boasting brix levels of up to 17, the sprite is like a honeydew but, at 1 ¼ pounds, much smaller, he said.

Meatloaf in a Muffin Tin is the perfect way to cook meatloaf. My husband LOVES meatloaf and it is a super easy meal to prepare however when prepared in a loaf pan it takes so long. It heats up the house and often times I have to worry about if it is "done" in the middle or not. When I mentioned it to my Mom she reminded me that she used to make meatloaf this way when we were little to save cooking time (always listen to your Mom). I knew immediately by using meatloaf in a muffin tin my meatloaf worries were over. Be sure to Re-Pin this post.
Instead of using a loaf pan use a muffin tin! It cuts your baking time down to only 20 minutes (bake at 400 degrees) AND best of all it is perfect for portion control! It is not always easy to cut traditional meatloaf into large slices but with this method you can really watch your portion size and serve them nicely. You can easily use them later in the week or for leftovers. I found that there was little fat that rose to the top that I was able to remove with a paper towel
Another tip is to use plastic gloves when you prepare your meatloaf. It really cuts down on the clean up! You can also flash freeze the muffin cups (raw) and then bake them when you are ready. A great freezer cooking technique. Read this post on how to freeze meatloaf.
You can use ANY meatloaf recipe for this process. Here are several that we love!

Butterfly Colors
Name: Danielle Status: student Grade: K-3 Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: March 2007
I am in grade one and doing a science project, I am wondering what the average number of colors each butterfly has. And what is the range of number of colors each butterfly have.
Your project you will find is very interesting. Generally, the "color"of butterfly wings is NOT due to the presence of a colored material in the wings, but rather, to the spacing of layers of butterfly wing tissue. So what you "see" as color differences is due to different spacings of the layers of butterfly wing tissue. You can see the same effect from gratings that are available from suppliers of materials for science projects such as Edmund Scientific (This is not a recommendation of this particular company, but just a suggestion.) There are other suppliers of similar optical gratings that you can find on the Internet.
The different "colors" you see are due to the various spacing of colorless layers, not due to the presence of dyes or pigments. The number of colors each butterfly has is very wide from red to blue.
Vince Calder
More than you can count! Just like you can mix blue and yellow to make green, butterflies can mix many colors in their wings. Every butterfly is slightly different, so the color range is as broad as can be!
Butterflies can also see colors that people can't see. There's a kind of light called "ultraviolet" that people can't see, but some birds and insects can see. Butterflies have colors we can see, and they also have "ultraviolet" colors on their wings that they can see but we can't. So even if you wanted to count all the colors on a butterfly wing, you wouldn't be able to!

I brought 3 tuberous begonia plants inside right before a frost 2 weeks ago. All were blooming heavily. Now they are all dropping leaves. The leaves turn pale, dry up and drop off. But there are still plenty of flowers.
I know I'm supposed to store the tubers until spring but I don't know when to dig them up. I grew some last year and they started declining as soon as they were inside, ending with the stems dropping off or rotting at ground level. When I went to dig up the tubers they had rotted. It's looking like these are going the same route. Do I withhold watering at some point? When, when they are still blooming? |
Follow-Up Postings:
bump |
I have dug the tubers and stored them in a cool dark place in my house. I have not watered them and 2 of the 5 are now starting to grow slightly again. My question is when to replant them in the house to start them so I have a good size plant to put outside in the spring. Can you help me please? Thanks |

This is what I have done with my Begonias, in the fall we get a lot of rain so I don't wait for the frost to hit them before I bring them in. If in pots stop watering and the tops will eventually dry up and fall off or dig with a clump of soil and put in flats until the tops fall off. When this happens dig them out clean off the old potting medium and inspect for weevil damage or rot. I've pulled weevils out with a toothpick. I usually store my tubers in a styrofoam box in peat moss or shavings in a cool dark place until the end of February. If you are going to start these in the house you can do it now, remember they need good light or they will be straggly, florescent lights, or a window with very good light will do the job. If they start to stretch they're not getting enough light. A |
Beckswife, the begonia probably received sufficient light and maybe you sprinkled them did you, but they would have preferred the cool, dark, and being left alone. Now...its February, the sun is fast returning, so it is OK to bring them out now and start them --either in soil, or out of it, by simply placing them ontop of the fridge where the heat from there will slowly start them rooting. Yours evidently has already begun that...so its OK to pot them up, water them well to drainage, dump the excess, put them in a sunny window where they will sit and wait to come to something....a little fuzz will show on the surface...that's them, popping up....water them only when the soil stops feeling damp...and water only to keep them damp. Planting them only JUST UNDER the soil....JUST! It'll take months before they come to something...but by mid May they should be able to go outside. And for readers that when they look at the bulb, they cant decide which end is up.....not to worry, just plant on their sides. The bulb knows which end is up. |
Hi, It is such a useful stuff and I found a lot of useful information here. Thanks for sharing. Stella |
Linnea, Next fall, let your begonia be touched by frost. Much like dahlia, the frost will kill the foliage. That's your cue to bring them in --- to a garage or other place, where they have the stalks removed, flowers go too, and let them dry for a couple days before they go into storage. Just like geraniums, they can be stored where it is cool, dark, and dry. There left to spend the winter. No sprinkling, no water of any kind, no light which can initiate growth, no heat...just cool, in the range of 38 - 50şF.... AT this time you might make note of the color of the flower on each bulb so that next spring, you can plant accoridng to that wish. If the bulb doesn't have a particular look showing which side is up, put them on a shelf designating which end had the roots. Most times though you can feel the concave end---that's the top. Now I believe the frost treatment allows the bulb to send its starches and sugars back down into the bulb....much like why we let the tulips wilt on the vine, to do the same. If the begonia goes inside to enjoy the bloom for as long as it will, then do much the same, remove the foliage, let it dry, then store it where cool. As far as why the foliage wilted, the distinct temperature change from out of doors to indoors, is probably what caused it. Keep cutting back the water and let the bulb use less and let it go dry. |

Church of San Pedro Apóstol de Andahuaylillas

It looks like a pleasant village church, but the doors open to reveal an interior that is relentlessly decorated, covered in frescoes, with a ceiling of a thousand medallions and an altar all silvered and gilded and mirrored, rather churrigueresque, and ingeniously harmonious.

I am so excited to have gotten out of the city shelter. I am thankful that Austin Siamese Rescue has given me a chance to find a new forever home. I am super friendly and can't get enough petting. I will even let you pet my belly for a little bit. I love to purr. I am also gorgeous!
I am not overly fond of the idea of sharing my to be new home with other kitties. Foster mommy keeps telling me to give the others a chance. After a couple of weeks, I kind of get used to the idea of having them around, but it takes a lot of screaming for me to get my point accross. I really need a home that will have some patience with me for a few days if there are other kitties involved.

These WILL germinate with extra work!

Comments about Shooting Star Seeds:
I bought a packet of seeds and was so disappointed that none of them germinated. The pkt said they had been cold stratified already to insure fast germination, but I had absolutely no success simply planting the seeds in peat pellets within a covered flat. When I contacted American Meadows to report problems and to inquire about cold-stratification, AM sent me replacement pkt of seeds and later emailed instructions. I tested the replacement pkt of seeds in the same way that I test all seeds I buy. I used peat pellets in a covered flat, but none germinated. So, I followed the instructions for cold stratification with the remainder of the packet. I used a mixture of vermiculite and sand wetted but not so much that I could squeeze water from it. I added these teeny seeds to the mixture, placed it in a plastic ziploc baggy and stored it in the refrigerator for 1 month. I removed the baggy a week or so ago, and spread the mixture on top of potting soil mix, and within days I have oodles of sprouts. I am simply amazed. I am also uncertain what to do with this mixture next, as I have always used covered flats with cells to germinate seeds in their own precise growing cubicle when I am not using wildflower seeds that I just broadcast upon outdoor soil. Now, I have all of these sprouts growing together on a larger surface. I presume I will need to carefully remove them and pot them in their own cells when they are large enough to handle, and I can see that this will be a tedious process. If shooting star fails for me this time, it will be due to my lack of expertise handling the seedlings and not because of germination problems. I am simply amazed to have experienced success with cold stratification, as I have never tried it before. I am also impressed with American Meadows. The company honored its guarantee, stood by its product, and even educated me on how to achieve success with a second trial. I would indeed recommend buying these seeds if you are willing to cold stratify them before planting. I would most certainly recommend American Meadows to a friend, because their products have typically be good quality performers, and because they have always honored their product guarantee for the few things that I have had problems with. I have had few problems.

No luck germinating these
By UrbanFarmer

I've had no luck germinating this seed. One seed almost germinated, then it died. I'll keep trying, but so far, it's below American Meadows usual standard.

Nontrivial to Germinate
By Gallifreyan Jedi
from Laurel, MD
Since American Meadows' seed packets do not include plant-specific germination instructions (and I was too lazy to look some up), I have had trouble germinating these seeds. However, I did some searching and discovered that they germinate best when sowed on the soil surface and kept at 50 degrees. Most of the other seeds I bought from AM germinated fine (the other two that didn't are apparently also finicky germinators), so I'm sure these seeds will also do well once I stop mistreating them.

Many banks will give you an ATM (automated teller machine) card, also called a debit card, when you open your account. This card allows you to withdraw money from your bank account when you cannot get to your bank or use a check. While these cards are a great convenience, please be aware of the security issues presented by ATM use.
