When does it make sense to just buy the things? It seems like the way to go about right now!
Who do people buy them from?
Dealing with any transplant smaller than a six pack type is totally new to me. I bought 10 ea. of 72 and 128 cell trays.
Actually I did start basil and pepper in 72's last spring. Potted up the peppers before moving them into the garden, and stuck most of the basil in the garden from the 72's. I read people are doing these things in much smaller cells! What do you guys and gals do with these trays? Where do you work with them...in the hoop houses? Can the 72's go right into the garden? With what types of plants? One more thing, do you succession plant onions and leeks? I am buying some transplants from Dixon something farms in Texas and their whole site seems to be set up around on planting per zip code? and.... |
Follow-Up Postings:
rustico---First thing,please give us some info on the size of your operation. Do have a green house to start your own plants? You must figure 72 count trays are great for lettuce transplants but too small for fruiting plants such as Tomatoes, Peppers, Etc. Personally I use 36 count trays for Tomatoes and Peppers. Eggplant, Etc. These 36 count trays have enough soil to have strong rooted plants for transplant and they do not get leggy(weak stems). As far as Onions I plant all my Dixondale plants here in the thumb of Michigan around April 15 and they are usually ready and full size by July 15.(By the way Dixondale gives great instructions on how to plant when you receive your order) |

When you get those 128-512 trays, plan on transplanting into larger cells within 2-3 after receiving your shipment. I've done marigolds in 128s into 4 pks and they did great. Of course, you need to transplant again a few weeks later if you still have them. I had used the 72s again for any small seeds. I use 50s for melons/pumpkins. The seeds are just so large for the smaller cells. I will be using some 128s this year to begin my toms and peppers. Soon after first leaves, they'll be transplanted into larger cells. Just takes less room inside, since I start my planting so early. These early planting give me the huge plants that my customers want and will pay for dearly. Marla |

Hey Cowpie51,This is pretty much a family deal with me doing most of it. The kids are still in the tag along years for the most part and my better half has a career. We have a terraced acre rabbit proofed,of the 20 rolling acres total. I have another area that is being set up for a low density chicken run for egg layers. I am pretty up on growing spring through fall with some room for improvement. It's a blast growing here in the summer. The garden is very underutilized at the moment. Right now I am just selling butternut squash and have decided to use them to help me hold a spot in a good market as I hopefully get better at this fall/winter thing. I think with some improvement,I can do two average farmers markets by the end of next year around $300 week each. Do a couple hundred a week in restaurants Next calendar year's goal is 10k or so from the acre, chickens, plus the few fruit trees.Maybe double or triple that in the following year. I have a 40 foot row of blackberries that looked very good on the first fruiting last spring,so, I am adding to that. Maybe we will end up with several good rows of blackberries. Waiting to see what it is like to sell them. I don't have anywhere decent yet to do lots of transplants. The couple of hundred transplants I have so far were started in uncovered box outside. I just did several new flats today that are in an unheated cold frame. I have lots of supplies and a little money to start building small structures, maybe a 120Sqft dual pain glass green house, germinating tables, a potting shed and perhaps a wind blocked shade house.Zoning allows for poly tunnels by right. Stud framed structures over 120 Sqft. are not allowed without permits which come with deal killing code requirements, fees and taxes. I can't see doing lots of tunnels because of our good climate but one or two could help in the fall, winter and early spring? Pest pressure drops of tremendously about now because the first rains have ended our yearly 8 month drought and the varmints can forage sprouts in the wild as easily as in the garden. I can't afford a kit so will have to do a cheapy with the ideas one can find on the internet. I am asking for ideas on that in the "structures" forum. Anyway, I am basically not up to speed for the FM position that I seem to be welcome to have. That's why I think it might be better to buy transplants....to try to make a better showing at the market as early as I can this year, even if it is at low profit. Of course there are worries about the stress that off farm seedlings have been through too. Our Dixondale date is Jan. 9th. Short day onions, plus leeks. Thanks, |
I think the worth of buying plugs depends on your marketing stance, where you stand in terms of organic/or not production, land base, etc. If you are marketing yourself as an old-fashioned market gardener - no machines, no chemicals, minimal plastic, hyperlocal - like we are, then buying plugs defeats some of that purpose. Buying plugs may also affect your level of satisfaction as a producer. 'I kept this plant alive' vs 'I nurtured this plant from seed to sale'. We are buying plugs for a few items next year that are difficult to start or cannot be propagated by seed. Sweet grass and a specific ornamental oregano. I am also buying plugs for mint because I don't have any yet and I want to market it for the weekend of the Kentucky Derby next year. Will push it for mint juleps (and also mojitos since a lot of people travel to Cuba in the winters and it would be novel). We bought a whole bunch of onion sets in July from Rona for 50 cents a package and succession sowed them until the beginning of September for green onions. It worked well and we will most likely do it again. We are growing intensively on 1/4 acre so my view is from a very small production standpoint. I tried growing a bunch of things in 128s last year and I found them to be a PITA. |
- Posted by rustico_2009 CA 9 (My Page) on Sat, Nov 19, 11 at 10:23
HI Maggz88, I've been busy. 3 months of succession planting on the onions sounds pretty good. I just checked a good reference for bulbing onions and it says we can do sets Oct/April and seeds Nov to Feb so probably transplants would work until somewhere from Jan to around March/ April? Every philosophical concern you mention has ran through my mind, good points. I am just an average no spray, non-certified plant animal and mineral based amendment guy.I won't go so far as to worry about whether a seed is treated or not or if a drop of miracle grow was in the seed starter from the nursery(I don't use it). |
Plugs and their use are really dependent on the size of your operation. I grow everything from seed. I never transplant. All plugs go straight to the field. Onions my first year were in 128's. That was a HUGE waste of space. They have been in 288's this year and that was borderline too large yet. Tomatoes, Peppers, Melons are all in 72's. They get transplanted directly to the field when they are the proper size. No repotting on toms or peppers. It is a complete waste of time. None of the larger growers would bother with it. Time your plantings so that the plugs are ready to go into the field at the proper time. I was the ONLY grower in my area to grow onions from seed. Everyone was aghast that I did not by from dixondale. That was until they saw the size and quality I got and my cost. You ARE paying for someone else to produce your plants AND ship them. I have found that most people don't care or won't pay a premium for organic in my area, so I don't try. I use IPM and try to avoid most commercial pesticides, but I do use fertilizer, etc. |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Sun, Nov 20, 11 at 8:42
when do you start your onion sets in the plug trays? I'm interested, but need some details. I don't have alot of room in heated area, but plenty (I think) in hoophouse. Marla |
I grow all my own plugs. It is alot of work, but if you can make a set up that works, it is easier. We have a light shelves with 4 or 5 shelves, with 4 florescent shop lights on each shelf. We can put 8 flats on each shelf. We plant using 50's and 72's. There can be 2,000-2,880 plugs on these shelves. I pot up tomatoes, it does make a stronger plant. Jay |
- Posted by rustico_2009 (My Page) on Sun, Nov 20, 11 at 11:39
JrslicK do you have a picture of your light set up handy. I am hesitant to bother with lights because our lowest average lows in the winter only 44 and I think they will do fine in a greenhouse, all theory at this point. Days dip to just below 10 hours at their shortest. Thanks for plugging along on this thread, great info. Actually, when I live closer the coast in San Diego and had a small garden, I direct seeded my tomatoes and pepper in the garden dirt. The were amazing. Super long growing season. Plenty of my tomatoes here in the foothills last year were from volunteers. Pat Welsh has a good video about starting onions from seed on youtube. Webcajun covers it even more.Both of them live in mild climates at about 32 deg. Lat. I agree making ones own transplants looks easy. I am afraid it is getting late for me, probably not, but going to try Dixondale this year anyway. I started three pots of leeks a few weeks ago in a research and development effort. The last two years I have bought these tiny little bunches of onion seedlings in six packs from the local nursery and they made respectable but not huge bulbs quickly(don't remember the variety). Sets(small bulbs), seem a waste of time, (Pat Welsh concurs) |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Sun, Nov 20, 11 at 17:59
rustico, you could most likely just use your greenhouse. Where Jay and I are at, our lows get below zero at times. My lights are just 4' flourescent lights, I'm using 4 bulbs per shelf this year. I get a 4' wide commercially made shelf, the heavier the better then hang the lights with hooks and chains. I use chains so that I can adjust the height of the lights off of the plants. Marla |
Here is a picture, it isn't the best (or the prettiest) but you get the idea. I turn the flats each time I water. This way the plants won't always lean only one way. Jay |
Marla, I start Onions in Late March to Early April. I grow them in a double poly hoophouse with propane heat when needed. Onions are pretty hardy. I have let the hoophouse get down to 35 at night and they don't seem to care. The key is to control temps when the sun come up. You CAN NOT let the temp swing to 85 within an hour or two or you will have leggy plants. If you transplant into plastic mulch you can start seeds a week to three weeks later and make up the difference in the field. I lost my heater last year for THREE HOURS at night when the temp was zero in late march. I lost about half of the plugs and had to replant. I use a germination chamber to get seeds going. This can be something as simple as a covered bench with a small space heater. The key is to keep the temp at optimium (usually 70-90 degrees) until the seeds spout. You then move them to the greenhouse/hoophouse to continue growing. I usually get 99% germination on most things this way. You can also use bottom heat, but it costs more to setup. |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Mon, Nov 21, 11 at 18:23
Thanks moon1234, I have bottom heat, large enough for a 1020, probably plenty big enough for me for germination of onions. I guess I should have asked where you were at, to help determine when I should start. Jay, I turn my trays the opposite way and add more lights per shelf. I space the lights about 6-8" apart, I could put a light reflector between, but I haven't enough. Note to self, try that. I can get alot more trays by turning them opposite of what you show. Marla |
Actually with a 1020 tray they take up the same space going long ways under the lights or across the lights. Since they are 10 inches by 20 inches. Jay |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Tue, Nov 22, 11 at 7:49
No Jay, I turn them where the 20 side is sticking out. Yes 2 10x20 takes up the same space either direction. It looks like you have the 20 side turned the same as lights, I use the opposite. I'm telling a math teacher??? think about it. 10/10/10/10 versus 20/20 see what I mean, along the lenth of your shelves. Marla |
Yes, I turn them in my picture I have them 20/20/20/20 then when I water them I turn them to 10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10. The next time I water, I turn them back to 20/20/20/20. I am sure we are saying the same thing. Jay |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Tue, Nov 22, 11 at 18:35
I don't turn them them, I'm just adding another light, so that each tray will have 2 lights. That way, I'll have more light for them and less leaning plants. I still have to set up my new fixture in a new room. The whole room will be just plants. Marla |
Marla, I am in Southern Wisconsin. I think the methods you use to start seeds really depends on your size. I start around 50 flats at once in a smallish covered table, (which is really just cement blocks with 2x4's for shelves and double poly over it. I use a single small space heater and a small fan to circulate the air. Most seeds germinate in 2-10 days. Remember that you can stack your flats this way as the seeds have NOT popped out of the soil yet. Make sure your growing medium is at the proper temp before your place it in the germ chamber. I usually stack the flats 3-4 high per shelf. You can get an amazing number of flats in a small chamber and get really good germination. I don't use lights at all, just normal ambient light. I don't start brassicas until early april. Most people around me are planting them in april, but they also have real greenhouses where heat is less expensive. It is usually very wet in the spring based on the last few years here. Transplanting into black plastic mulch has more than made up for my being "late". I also get to skip some of the normal onion maggot and other early spring pests that others deal with. My input costs are a little higher, but I just charge a little more. |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Wed, Nov 23, 11 at 15:08
I don't double stack my flats, I guess I'm just too anxious to see those little necks popping. |
- Posted by rustico_2009 (My Page) on Tue, Nov 29, 11 at 21:24
Following up with progress. I ordered a bunch more trays to do plugs and also am halfway done building a 4'x8' cable heated germination table/cold frame hybrid(16 cell trays). This should be enough, unless I want to sell plants. From there the trays will go into unheated wind blocked, low tunnels with agribon by day and plastic at night or if it is going to be a cold rainy day.Although we has 5-10 light frosts a year an an occasional dusting of snow, the big threat to seedlings is that we can have a 90-95 degree day any month out of the year, for that I'll be ready with shade cloth and lots of water. Probably get a regular hoop house within a year. |
- Posted by sandy0225 z5 Indiana (email@example.com) on Fri, Dec 16, 11 at 18:37
next time don't order plug trays. just go to some greenhouses locally where they sell a lot of proven winners and petunias and stuff like that in the spring and they will have big stacks to get rid of. I know all of us around here have a lot. I'd give some away if anyone came and asked. When I first started, I wasn't buying anything in plugs, and I got some like that. |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Fri, Dec 16, 11 at 19:40
Our local greenhouse isn't giving those away any longer, they hooked up with a recycler to reduce their trash. Now they are taking people's old pots and giving the customers a 10% discount on their purchases. I got alot of them while my son worked there. I will miss that. Marla |
- Posted by rustico_2009 (My Page) on Mon, Jan 9, 12 at 0:58
Time flies, I can't believe I started this thread a month and a half ago! I refer back to your helpful comments as I practice with my outdoor germination tables and the plug flats. It's working pretty good. The biggest problem is the surface of the cells drying out to near seed depth in a matter of hours on some days( we have been having lots of warm dry windy days). I can't cover them to hold moisture, because heat will build up. I am afraid if they get enough bottom water to make it through the day, they will be too wet a lot of the time. Maybe misters will be needed. The great thing is is the apparent lack of transplant shock with the plugs on those same dry windy days. On the topic, Here is an interesting photo of watermelon ssedlings in 128's! |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Mon, Jan 9, 12 at 8:54
I do mine inside, so the wind hasn't been a problem. I do have bottom watering and 90% it's not a problem. If I was you, I'd try it and watch them carefully. Otherwise, can you cover them with a light colored sheet to help with the wind problem. The light color and fabric won't add much on the heat. Hubby suggests a frost blanket, you don't need the frost protechtion, but it's close to a sheet. Marla |
- Posted by rustico_2009 (My Page) on Mon, Jan 9, 12 at 12:13
Those are good ideas.I'll experiment with the bottom watering on some of the current batch. I have been using agribon, plastic, or shade cover depending on the weather situation. The tables have low hoops over them which are bolted to the sides to facilitate changing the covers. Maybe stacking them, like has been suggested earlier, would actually help insulate them from wind and drying.I'll try that with a chest cooler over the top of a stack. |

Rusty, that looks like what we've done INSIDE of our hoop house. We used PVC instead of metal hoops. FYI, one of my books that I've been buying this year, suggests bubble wrap in addition to the frost blanket and plastic. Marla |
- Posted by rustico_2009 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 1, 12 at 10:33
Pvc is a good idea, I used that on the back table. Bubble wrap "tek foil" is covering a tray of pepper seeds and has another tray stacked on top to hold it down and even more heat in. Going to have to come up with a few tricks to keep taller and more heat loving seedlings happy at night. I have thought about building a small greenhouse or tunnel around this thing, but I am not sure it is needed since it is relatively mild here with very rare snow. The front table is not even plugged in, and those cool weather plants are growing great. |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Wed, Feb 1, 12 at 15:13
They were talking about just regular bubble wrap without the foil wrap. We are having a nice heat wave, highs in 50 and lows around freezing. Normal is highs around freezing and lows in teens/20s. Marla |
I like your set up rustico. Looks so warm there, too. |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Wed, Feb 1, 12 at 18:27
Rusty, we just put our tables 8' apart (in a line) and installed joist hangers to put 2x4 and another piece of plywood, making the whole thing (so far) 4x24. If we add the other 2 tables with extenders, we could get to 4x56 and that's longer than the greenhouse. Oh well, change that thought. We have some frost blankets that are 7' wide, and some extra poly plenty wide enough. Decided that with our age and bad backs, we definitely want to use the tables, instead of placing everything on the ground. Marla |
- Posted by rustico_2009 (My Page) on Thu, Feb 2, 12 at 0:42
Thanks magz, It is nice here, it dips just below freezing for a few hours now and then. Our lowest day time average over a month is something like 64 and that's for Jan. I am glad you like your tables too, Marla. Definitely a nive relief from all the hard work. Once you have the tables and heat, you have lots of choices. It's good for modified "winter sowing". I have the milk jugs up there for that and get really nice temps. I like the tek foil stuff because it holds the heat cable warmth in at night while keeping the containers from getting too hot in the day time(probably not a problem for most people). For taller heat loving seedlings I'll put insulated boxes or blankets over them at night. |
- Posted by rustico_2009 9 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 25, 12 at 20:44
Well, as my plug starting continues the only thing that has really not come through is fennel, the bulbing type. Is this hard to start in flats? I know it doesn't need good soil. Perhaps my starting mix it too rich or too damp at times. Anyone have tips on proper culture for plug starting fennel? I can direct seed it now. I did that a few years ago and got decent bulbs. I've read that for my it is a better fall crop, started while it is still warm...haven't done that yet. |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Sun, Mar 25, 12 at 22:01
Rustico, With the tables and heat, I will be much better. Yesterday, we went to an auction and brought home a 127,000 btu Modine propane heater. The fan works great, but will have to wait til we get some propane to find out how the heating works. Supposed to work, the facility had changed over to natural gas, so they said. I keep going, and I'll have a full fledged greenhouse. Marla |
- Posted by rustico_2009 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 25, 12 at 22:10
I hope propane is cheaper there than it is here, or else that you can convert it to natural gas. |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Mon, Mar 26, 12 at 10:06
We can't convert, no natural gas lines in my area. I won't use it much, just to help out with the sudden drops. It does have a really good fan for ventilation, which we are using without the heat. Lucky, again, for the son that worked in the greenhouse (he also did some of the maintenance) so he knows more about it than the average person. He bought for his 1/2 also. We only paid about $60-70 for each of them. |

I have to go with Lena Dunham for worst. I'm sure she's a nice gal and all, but this is show is beamed out to kajillions of people, and she could have at least tried to stand up straight. And maybe she should have practiced walking in heels a bit ahead of time. Ugh, I am saying only negative things today.
Well put. You hit on one of the main things that bothered me about it — the double message that she is a super-powerful, successful star, and also that everyone should leave her the hell alone. And also understand her deeply. Everything about it just screamed out-of-touch privilege. And the lack of humility bothered me, too.
Yes. When the camera was cutting to people in the room who had been moved to tears and were watching in rapt concentration, I thought, "Are these people watching the same thing I am?" It was surreal. Maybe it came across differently to the people who know her personally. I don't know. All I know is that I was mystified.
I am genuinely surprised by all the major media outlets saying how moving Jodie Foster's speech was. I watched it with mounting horror as the speech moved firmly into the realm of meandering self-indulgence and self-aggrandizement, and showed no sign of slowing down. I think my face was making the same expression that Mel Gibson's was making, and I hope that is the last time I ever have to compare myself to him. Yes, she had some very good points to make, but she could have made them in a way that didn't make so many people feel sweaty and cringing. To me it seemed like she had a captive audience and she was not gonna give up that stage for anything.
'Night, everyone! It was fun!
OK, but I'm not sharing a minutes plan with her.
I really wonder how much longer this is going to go on.
Oh, that little giggle fro Michelle Dockery was so endearing.
They are bringing up latent rage in me.
I usually like Target ads, but I have kind of had it with these supermodels in white.
That dress is seriously amazing.
Surprisingly, I find this less annoying than Anne Hathaway's speech.
YES. I can't even stand to look at his face.
Wow, Costner looks overwhelmed with joy!
What a sweet and refreshing speech from Adele.
You should definitely try it. What's the worst that can happen? This is actually not a legal question, but a philosophical one. There's no potential loss, but there is potential gain. And you might get some amazing people-watching in. I drive by my county courthouse every day on my way to work, and hoo boy, there are some fascinating-looking folks going in there.
I think it entails watching Bob Ross daily at 6:30 a.m., to not only get excellent art advice but also to start out the day with a generous dose of Zen calm.
That's so weird — my hand was twitching earlier this week, too. Maybe the government is testing out some new neurochemical on us.
I've seen all the episodes, like, 7 times each but I just started watching them all this week from Season 1 (Christopher Eccleston Season 1, I mean) because it's the 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF DOCTOR WHO THIS YEAR! You guys, this only happens once in our lifetime. The Royal Mail is even doing a special set of stamps to commemorate the occasion: http://bbc.in/13kFjjP
You should join flanny in the 6:30 a.m. Bob Ross Challenge and get some tips.
Sad face indeed. You should have joined the night parade with the Obamas. That was some fun stuff.
I have had some kind of terrible stomach flu for three days, which has been awful, but the fever + half a sleeping pill I took last night made for some pretty amazing dreams early this morning. In one, David Tennant and I were walking around in Edinburgh and it was obvious that he was crushing on me pretty hard. In another, I was on an airplane with David Tennant and Danica Patrick, and we were talking about Plato. And in a third, I was watching a big night parade led by Barack and Michelle Obama. So yeah, I'd say that was worth the puking and the chills, and the eating nothing but plain Rice Chex and applesauce since Tuesday.
I know. I have a close friend who gets the same kind of strong reaction watching characters lie. There could probably be an entire branch of analysis based on what makes you deeply uncomfortable in fictional scenes.
The thing that makes me feel squirmy on TV and movies is when people get into trouble — like, sent to the principal's office, or arrested, or even just caught in a lie. That episode of the Tudors when Catherine Howard and so many of her friends were arrested? Oh man. I was still upset the next morning.

It's nearly time to make some crazy money once again. Sega today announced that its HD remake of the Dreamcast and arcade driving game Crazy Taxi is set for launch on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network next month.
The Xbox 360 version of the game will launch in North America, Europe, and Australia on November 24. In Europe and Australia, the PlayStation 3 version will hit the same day, although American gamers will be able to download it starting November 23. When it launches, the game will sell for 800 Microsoft points ($9.99, £6.29, €7.99, or AU$12.95).
Crazy Taxi is the second Dreamcast revival to arrive on downloadable services from Sega, following on from last month's release of Sonic Adventure. Like that game, Crazy Taxi has been updated with 720p HD visuals, leaderboards, and achievements/trophies. Like the original game, the rerelease features 16 minigames as well as arcade and original game modes.
For more on Crazy Taxi, check out GameSpot's 2000 review of the Dreamcast original.

Charity Navigator, an independent charity evaluator that evaluates the financial health, accountability and transparency of approximately 6,000 of America's largest charities, has bestowed one of the top ratings possible for United Way of Bradley County Inc.
The respected local organization received four stars out of a possible four, one of only three in the state to receive that designation and one of the top point ratings in the country. According to Charity Navigator records, United Way of Bradley County received an overall point rating of 64.70, the highest in Tennessee.
"We know what a great job our United Way does, but when an organization like Charity Navigator gives us such high marks, it just reinforces that we are doing things right," said Matt Ryerson, United Way of Bradley County president and CEO. "Of course, this is an honor that is given to United Way, but is only possible through the great community support we receive, as well as the outstanding partnerships we have developed locally."
That includes, Ryerson said, the many campaign partners that receive funding from United Way each year, as well as those that receive grants from the Bradley County Health Endowment Fund.
One of the highlights of the Charity Navigator report is that United Way of Bradley County's fundraising expenses are only 5.3 percent of budget. With the exception of a small percentage going toward United Way Worldwide for use of the United Way logo, other materials and educational training, these fundraising expenses stay in the United Way of Bradley County service area.
"Thus, the only money that is not either distributed to our partner agencies or spent on campaign materials locally, relates to about 1 percent of budget, or 1 cent out of every dollar contributed," Ryerson said. "Ninety-nine (99) cents out of every $1 pledged to United Way stays here, and helps here."
The Charity Navigator profile for United Way of Bradley County also states that for every 5 cents spent on fundraising, $1 in contributions is raised.
"We are pleased to be ranked so high by Charity Navigator, and I believe it shows that we are doing what our community expects and deserves — as much of the contributed funds go to worthy causes in our area," Ryerson said.
He added, "It is truly a reflection on our volunteers, particularly of the board of directors, who are committed to ensuring that the infrastructure of our organization meets best practices and that everything we do is done with excellence."

To the Editor:
In response to Kathleen Cole's letter, printed on Oct. 4:
Kathleen, I completely agree that hate speech is wrong, just as I agree that many other legal freedoms we have here in America are wrong, such as the dumbing down of our children in our schools and universities, and GMOs, and the sick protection lying politicians get.
However, among many other arguments most of us have who cling to our freedom of speech, I am wondering if you have the same anger towards those who attack other religions. Or, are you one of those bent only on protecting the Muslim religion? Protecting them, at the exclusion of not protecting any other religion, and at all costs is rather popular, these days.
Allow me to point out that by omission of mentioning any other religion, it could appear that you are okay with the hate, attacks, tortures and murders of, for instance, Jews and Christians, worldwide. Radical Muslims/Islamists/jihadists attack and kill and torture anyone who will not submit to their religion. And some who call themselves Christians blow up abortion clinics and kill their doctors; consider, too, atheists who spew hatred, daily, over the Internet towards people who believe in God.
Are there any other religions that you feel this strongly about protecting? Where else does your outrage extend? Just because one mob kills, supposedly over a video that offends them (which we're now learning was not the case at all there was no protest of the video), does that mean the speech police need to now put microphones in every household/church/private meeting, censor everything that goes on the Internet, ad nausea? Where would you, personally draw the line?
By the way, that mob had already made numerous threats, and our embassy commissioners had asked for more security several times, yet were denied it every time. It was the very entity who denied extra security that at first claimed the movie trailer caused the murders. They ended up back paddling and confessed that it was terrorists, with their plans having been made months and possibly year's prior. (It DID happen on 9/11 not a coincidence but an obvious clue.) The movie was a scapegoat for that "entity" our current White House Administration, but I digress, sort of. I wonder when the man who made the film will be released from jail.
I hope you can accept this letter as my demonstration of an attempt at "stopping the hate" (your hatred, that is, of our freedom of speech). I fear you and others like you have already severely eroded our freedom of speech in most areas of our lives. Enough is enough, yet I don't expect you to understand that until you are shaken out of your boots by finding out letters like yours are also censored due to government suspicion of those you omitted, or due to your lie about the video causing the deaths. You have quite a bit to think about.
Perhaps you can start with thinking about our very own president refusing to beef up security at that very embassy where some of these murders occurred. Maybe then you can also learn that it wasn't the video that caused this. Please, before you start complaining again about what someone said or did, try at least to be informed about the subject instead of perpetuating ignorance while dancing on your censorship soapbox. We've already lost too much of our freedom of speech. Enough is enough.
There will always be malice and hatred in our world, as we know it. Remember Hitler? How did he manage to dupe the Germans into believing in him? Through censorship. The Germans had no clue what their government was doing until it was way too late. Besides, our mainstream media already censors enough so much so, that those who only listen to/watch mainstream media also have no clue as to what our very own government is about. Please, think about it.
On a side note, I recently posted a picture and joined in a worldwide call for support of a severely deformed child in a third world country. My daughter pointed out that Facebook censors such "offensive" posts. "Are you serious?" I asked, incredulously. It's a call for support, and a picture to back up the desperation of the poor child, for heaven's sake.
Where do you, personally, and those like you draw the censorship line?

Had NPR on during lunch and there was a duet, man and woman. Leone said, "sounds like Nelson Eddy and Jeanette McDonald". Surely we aren't the only ones who remember them. Been a while. Some one else please say they also remember them. Believe thy started shortly after sound came to the movies. |

Oh yes I remember them well. Seems just like yesterday. Turner Classic Movies shows their films occasionally. What ever happened to good music?? Steve in Stevens County. |
- Posted by west_gardener (My Page) on Mon, May 9, 11 at 20:03
No, I don't remember them, but then again, we did not get a replacement radio after WW11, until 1947 and the only station we could get was from Liechtenstein,and they played the classics, day and night. No American music. Re: the question about where the good music has gone? While watching the royal wedding, I was so impressed by the children's Choir, that was beautiful music. |
gandle, I remember them! Beautiful team. Mom wouldn't let us listen to 'modern' 50's music, so we heard a lot of the older tunes. When we moved to Va, she had the juke box fellow keep tunes such as Sleepy Lagoon, Alice Blue Gown, Jalousie, Stars Fell on Alabama, etc on the jukebox, also---of course, thanks to the customers, we were also able to hear 'modern' music, --a lot!! Thanks for the memories! :o) |
---forgot Les Paul and Mary Ford---whadda a team! I can hear them as I type....somewhere there's music....! |
Who? HA! I'm kidding. |
"When I'm calling you-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-, will you answer too, oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo?" Of course I remember them! I can picture Nelson Eddy in his Royal Canadian Mounties uniform, embracing Jeannette McDonald and singing to the wilds! She'd answer in the next verse, and then they'd sing, together. A little corny, perhaps, but a lovely sound. |
Having grown up in a musical family we listened to and had records of every thing from big band and opera to bar records that an uncle who serviced juke boxes would leave for us. Being younger than many on here I was still aware of many things kids older than me enjoyed, yes I remember them. |
- Posted by anneliese_32 6 (My Page) on Wed, May 11, 11 at 14:15
Taking in consideration where I come from, a lot of music I did not know, especially from the US, but boy, did we make up after 1945. AFN was a constant for me especially jazz (as long as my father was not around), and of course all the singers of the pre- and war years. I too ask myself whatever happened to melodies instead of volume to cover the lack of it. |
Grew up in Chicago and saw all their movies at the Saturday matinee's those were the good old days. Then on the way home my gal pal and I would sing all the songs when we'd go under the train tunnels beautiful acoustics. |
I went to a grandson's chorus concert last night....there were 4 groups participating, roughly 1/3 of the student body and they sang traditional chorus as well as choral music,,,it was wonderful. Kids are participating in "Good Music"....and it's a pleasure to hear them. A week ago sunday I attended another chorus concert, with adults, highschool kids and college kids, singing everything from Hayden to folk music....and loving it. They weren't compelled to be part of the chorus. And yes I remember Jeanette and Nelson as well as Kate Smith and a few others. |
During my teen years when I was sure every other teenager in the entire USA was out on dates and parties and having all kinds of fun on Friday nights, I watched a local channel that showed movies from the 30's. I became hooked on them. Thank goodness for TCM so I can still watch them. So of course I know who Jeannette Mcdonald and Nelson Eddy are. And do you remember Maurce Chevalier musicals? He stared in some with Jeannette before she was hooked with Nelson. |
---Thank Heavens for leeettle gurls..... My DGD's would roll their eyes every time I'd do a take off on Chevalier.... (I like TCM, also--old movies are great--well,some are. |
But do you remember Phil Spitalny and his all girl orchestra? |
- Posted by anneliese_32 6 (My Page) on Sat, May 14, 11 at 13:47
OK, now you have me flumoxed! Something else to look up. |
I remember Phil Spitalny! |
I remember Phil Spitalny! And his beautiful all girl orchestra yeah!!! |

I mentioned last week that I had an awesome outfit planned for a new skirt and this is it! When I was looking through my closet to see what would go with this skirt (a bunch of things) this jumped out at me as what I wanted to try first! A bit risky going with two snakeskin pieces but I think the fact that they are different colors makes it work. What say you?! (I said that like Aragorn in Lord of the Rings for those of you who can hear it in your heads...no one? Oh well, I'm just crazy)
For some reason the Beatles song in my title ALWAYS gets stuck in my head. I find myself singing it in my head while I walk to the train. That happens with a few songs, but this one is my mind's favorite...very odd. I was humming it while taking these photos so it's only fitting that it be the post's title.
I took these photos on Friday but I am wearing it today to work! Woohoo :)

The Rolling Stones reportedly planning 18 date US tour
The Rolling Stones are apparently set to head out on an 18 date tour of the United States this year.
Rolling Stone writes that a 'concert business source' has confirmed to them that the band will play the 18 North American shows. A Billboard report previously quoted a similar source saying the Stones would play "fewer than 20" dates in the States in the first half of 2013.
This follows Serge Pizzorno of Kasabian heating up rumours that The Rolling Stones will be playing this summer's Glastonbury Festival.
Speaking to MTV News, the band's chief songwriter was talking about Kasabian's headline slot at Hard Rock Calling, which takes place the same June weekend as Glastonbury.
Pizzorno said: "I hope ours is the most talked about performance of the weekend, but that would be a miracle because The Rolling Stones are playing Glastonbury."
Previously, Ronnie Wood of The Rolling Stones said that he was hoping to persuade his bandmates to headline Glastonbury.
Mick Jagger had already dropped hints about the possibility of the band playing the festival and Ronnie Wood then revealed that he was also keen.
"Wouldn't it be nice?" he said when asked about playing the festival by The Independent.
He added: "It's something I've always been interested in. I'm going to twist their arms. I've got lots of high hopes this year, now that we're all rehearsed - let's get it cracking this summer!"

I get very happy ever time I check the number of photo likes (we are at over 19,000,000 right now) in the community. After liking a photo I asked myself, what photo did this person like recently? I checked it out and wondered again. So I decided to make a database query: start with one photo, show me a photo this photographer liked recently, and so on – but exclude all previous liked photos and people (this reads like I am barking commands at my computer – well, sometimes I do, but not in this case). -

There's never a dull moment in the apparel business. When you're going to have time to read the trades and watch TV is anyone's guess--though not ours--because you'll practically live at your store, especially in the beginning.
"No one day seems to be exactly the same," says Meridian, Mississippi, store owner Robert L., who adds that he can't ever remember a dull moment in his apparel store. "Day to day, you'll be wearing many different hats, whether you're managing people, receiving merchandise or creating displays. One minute you're on the phone with a customer, and the next minute you're talking to a radio station about your advertising. Then you might have your nose in the books wondering why your expenses were so high last month."
What's Inside
- Introduction
- Target Market
- Startup Costs
- Operations
- Marketing
- Resources
Your Policy Position
One of the things that will help balance your daily juggling act will be to establish your store's operating policies, or the rules under which you decide to run your business. It's not until you actually start your own apparel store that you'll realize how many decisions you'll be making on a daily basis, and for that reason, you want to make sure you have a plan. Believe us; a plan will eliminate making last-minute reactionary decisions that could result in some costly mistakes, like maybe losing a valued employee. We suggest sitting down, writing up your store's operating policies and supplying copies to your employees. You may also wish to post some of these policies, such as those involving cash and credit card acceptance, for your customers to read.
A seemingly endless number of these "policy" questions will arise when you enter the apparel business, among them issues surrounding pricing, consignment, purchasing unsolicited products, credit, cash layaway, returns, special orders, damage, children in the store, credit cards, gift wrapping, gift registry and hours of operation.
We put hours of operation last for emphasis, because when your doors are open will be a big factor in your success. Most apparel stores that don't conform to a mall's shopping hours stay open a minimum of six days per week, usually Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. or 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Frequently, stores will stay open until 9 p.m. or later on certain, or even several, days of the week, typically Thursday and Friday. Flexible hours allow for lunchtime and evening shopping, and in this business, flexibility is your friend.
Choosing a Location
In choosing a community in which to open your store, you'll want to consider a number of location "whether" factors (this will serve as a review of our marketing chapter), including whether the community has a large enough population, whether its economy is stable enough for you to make money and whether the area's demographic characteristics are compatible with your target market.
Almost all apparel store lessors, or landlords, require a square foot rental from their lessees, usually paid on a monthly basis. Apparel store rent can run as low as $8 per square foot in certain parts of the country, and close to $40 per square foot in big malls or shopping centers in high-traffic areas or in higher-rent metropolitan areas, like New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago and Dallas. Landlords also sometimes ask for a percentage of the tenant's monthly gross sales--above a certain specified amount--on top of the minimum monthly rental.
In addition to paying flat rents and sales percentages, apparel store owners who decide to locate in a shopping center or mall may be asked to pay what's known as an add-on charge. This per-square-foot charge or small percentage of a store's gross sales covers advertising and promotion costs for the shopping area and upkeep of the common areas surrounding the businesses (parking, sidewalk, walkways, sitting areas, patios, restrooms).
Do all the following before you choose a location for your apparel store:
- Look at several locations before choosing your store site.
- Check into any local ordinances and zoning regulations that apply.
- Determine your store's parking needs.
- Decide whether the site is worth the rent.
- Define the selling point of your store's location.
- Determine whether the location is an area of potential growth.
- Define your store's space needs.
Hiring Employees
Your store needs will vary according to your store hours and customer traffic, but a good rule of thumb is one full-time and one part-time person for a 1,000-square-foot store.
When hiring sales staff, sales ability and personality come first. With both of those traits upfront, you can always train your salespeople to track inventory and handle apparel. Hopefully, with that combination, your salespeople will also be able to deal with the everyday apparel pressures of customer personalities and demands that require a thoughtful combination of tact, persuasiveness and a sense of humor. You also want a person who is mature and honest, one who will not only help you move merchandise out the door but also one you trust to handle your cash and to keep careful and complete records.
"You obviously have to be particular about who you hire," says apparel entrepreneur Robert L., "because ultimately it's customer service that separates us from the mall stores."

Hello...I am so pleased to find that out of 10 bulbs that I bought from a fellow gardener last year of the lycoris squamigera (naked ladies) that I have one that just popped up over night...so beautiful...I have admired these for so long but I found it very difficult to acquire some...any of you familar with these bulbs? Do they multiply very fast...Of course, I am happy with one but sure would like MORE!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Never fear! In no time at all you will have Naked Ladies galore. If they like where they are, they will multiply quickly. |
yep they multiply quickly :) mine are Sooo pretty this year, i love the shimmery bluish/lavendar/pinkish color of them. split mine up earlier this spring they were so crowded, and i am pleased to report they bloomed this same year. wasn't sure if they would or not. mic |
I love these plants! I just bought some bulbs at a flea market today. Dummy me did not ask how deep to plant the bulbs though. Can anyone tell me? Thanks in advance. |
Linda, I think the suggested planting depth is about 5 inches deep. These bulbs will thrive and spread nicely for you without much work on your part. :) Diann |
Thank you! |
PLEASE share with me some sources for your lovely naked ladies!!!!! Our local garden center never has any in and I've not had much luck when I'm looking elsewhere. Thanks so much! Bobbie |
Bobbie, just get to know someone with these surprise/naked lady lilys and I'm sure they would give you some in a heart beat. I gave away bushel baskets of these things earlier this Spring. I think if you order them over the net they will cost you anywhere from $5.00 up to $10.00 per bulb. Where are you in Zone 4? If you're close to the Mt. Vernon/Lisbon area you could stop by and I'd dig you some. (Of course, I might make you weed for your lilies! *just kidding*) Diann |
Just got to thinking. There is a guy that sets up for the Flea Market at What Cheer that usually sells them At the October show. Second weekend in October at the Fair grounds. He sits around the track. Bought some from him for 25 cents a bulb. |
Riverats, that's the way to buy 'em. :) I think that they are pretty and all, but I don't think I'd be paying the price many nurseries want for them!!! Bobbie, are you anywhere close to What Cheer?? Diann |
I'm a couple of hours from there, and our October is filled so for now they're on the back burner. We just prepared another 150' bed and we're about planted out for this year anyway! ;-) Bobbie |
What time of year is best to thin them out? |
I dug some this spring when the foliage was just beginning to come up. I would think that Fall would be the best time, tho.... Diann |

Ive had these in 2 different yards for 20 Years. I never took the time to see if the "seeds" would germinate from the withered flowers. Well Last Oct (2004) my wife cut off the stems, and when I started to trash them, I noticed a lot of "seeds" on the old blossoms. I cut them & put them in a cardboard box. Around the first week of Dec (2004) I noticed these things were germinating. So I have over 100 about 1 inch high in small plant containers. Will have to "babysit" these to Arizona from Jan thru July 2005, but will bring them back to CA in July. They would not survive 120 degree heat in AZ desert soil. Will keep the board posted on how well they do. They realy thrive here in So Calif. Had at least 30 blooming all at once in a 3 x 6 Ft space & they were very pretty. |

W-League News Release
Wednesday, June 12, 2013
TAMPA, Fla. – The W-League announced its Team of the Week for Week 5 of the 2013 season today, honoring Seattle Sounders Women goalkeeper Erin McNulty as Player of the Week after she backstopped the Sounders to a 2-0-1 week on the road.
McNulty, a former Florida State and Penn State standout who led the Nittany Lions to the 2012 NCAA College Cup finals, started the week with seven saves, including a game-saver in the final minute, as the Sounders Women defeated the LA Strikers 2-1 on Wednesday. Seattle traveled to Santa Clarita Friday, where McNulty recorded nine saves in another 2-1 win, before finishing the trip at Pali Sunday, where McNulty made six saves to shut out the 2012 league runners-up in a scoreless draw.
McNulty's teammate, Melissa Busque, stood out at both midfield and forward this past week to earn selection, putting in three dominating performances and scoring at Santa Clarita during the undefeated road trip.
Toronto's Kadeisha Buchanan leads the defensive selections, having filled in at forward and scored the game-winner against London before leading the Lady Lynx to their fifth consecutive shutout in a scoreless draw against Ottawa. Buchanan is joined by Pali's Elizabeth Eddy, who led the way in a shutout vs. Seattle, and Carolina Elite's Blakely Mattern, who assisted on the game-winning goal as the Cobras defeated Atlanta to take the Southeastern Conference lead.
Virginia Beach had a pair of players chosen after posting back-to-back wins at New Jersey and North Jersey, with Meaghan Dullea selected in the midfield after her two goals were the difference at North Jersey and Shan Jones chosen at forward following a two-goal performance of her own against the Wildcats. London midfielder Chantelle Campbell scored a stoppage-time equalizer against Quebec City to earn her spot, and Charlotte's Leah Fortune was selected in the midfield for the second consecutive week after her goal led the Lady Eagles past VSI Tampa Bay.
Long Island's Grace Hawkins and North Jersey's Danielle Schulmann both tallied two goals and an assist in their teams' victories this past week to lead the forwards, and they are joined by Virginia Beach's Shan Jones, who scored twice in the Piranhas' 4-1 win at New Jersey.
W-League Team of the Week
Honorable Mention – Carolina Elite - Claire Joyce; Colorado Rapids - Rebekah Patrick, Brooke Spence; Dayton - Juliana Libertin; Laval - Genevieve Richard; London - Miranda Horn; Long Island - Gabby Charno; Ottawa - Amanda Fancher; Pali – Sasha Andrews, Makenzie Doniak, Ashley Freyer; Quebec City - Josee Belanger, Melissa Roy; Seattle - Sara Campbell; Toronto - Rachel Melhado, Kailen Sheridan; Virginia Beach - Odishika Chukwuji.

Drue's attorney asks for change of venue
UPDATE: The defense
attorney for Dennis Drue, who is accused of causing the crash that
killed two Shenendehowa High School students and seriously injured two
other teens, has filed for a change of venue for Drue's upcoming trial.
Steve Coffey believes a change in venue would be better to have the case heard in a county with no influence in the case.
The District Attorney has 8 days to respond, but could ask for more time.
Then the Appellate Division can decide.
District Attorney Jim Murphy stated on twitter on Thursday that he opposed the venue change and is confident the county residents would be fair and impartial.
If the venue change is approved, the trial would be rescheduled. If denied, the trial will continue.
SARATOGA SPRINGS -- A hearing was held Friday ahead of Dennis Drue's September trial. Drue, 22, is facing 59 charges for causing the December 1, 2012 crash that killed two Shenendehowa High School students and seriously injuring two other teens
Prosecutors said Drue drank alcohol and smoked marijuana prior to the accident.Four members of the New York State Police testified during the Huntley hearing about their interaction with Drue. Two troopers said they observed he had "glassy" eyes and showed signs of intoxication. One roadside test found he had a Blood Alcohol Content of .08, equal to the legal limit to drive. A second test found it at .068. Neither test is considered acceptable by court standards, but they can be used by a trooper as an indication to continue their DWI investigation. An EMT testified she smelled alcohol on Drue's breath when she put a collar around his neck. Drue told police he had a one gin and tonic at a restaurant and did not smoke marijuana.
District Attorney Jim Murphy III has previously said the presence of marijuana in Drue's system eliminates the .08 threshold.
Investigator Rodger Kirsopp, who transported Drue to the Saratoga County Jail following his arrest in January, testified Drue used an expletive to describe the arrest and said 'those kids slammed on their brakes. You just need someone to parade around.'
The defense then called Drue to the stand, who claimed all he told Kirsopp was that 'it was an accident.'
"When you look at the outcome of this case and who has the most to gain and who has the most to lose, this is Rodger Kirsopp's job he has no benefit in the outcome of this case, but when you look at the defendant he obviously has a lot to lose," said Murphy.
Defense attorney's also focused on Drue's statement to police when he claimed he hit black ice on the Northway, which caused him to lose control and hit an SUV carrying Chris Stewart, Deanna Rivers, Bailey Wind and Matt Hardy - all 17-years-old. Stewart and Rivers, both Shen seniors, were pronounced dead at the scene. Wind, a Shaker High School Senior from Latham, and Matt, a Shen junior, survived the crash. Drue walked away with minor injuries.
Wind and Stewart were dating at the time. Rivers and Hardy were also a couple. The foursome were on their way home after attending the Albany Cup basketball game between Siena College and the University at Albany.
But Drue's attorney Steve Coffey said no crime was committed and pleaded not guilty to all charges in January. Coffey argues that although blood tests show Drue had alcohol in his system, it is not high enough to be charged with a DUI and he was legally able to drive.
According to family members, Drue's life had been going in a downward spiral since his fathers sudden death in 2003. He was charged with unlawful possession of marijuana at 18. Drue also lost his license from February 2009 to January 2010 because of three speeding violations within an 18 month period.
Drue is facing 59 charges, 52 of which are felony charges, including Aggravated Vehicular Homicide, Vehicular Manslaughter, Vehicular assault, Criminally using Drug Paraphernalia, and Driving while under influence of combined substances. If convicted, Drue could spend 25 years in prison.
A judge is expected to rule in the next few weeks if statements made by Drue and his prior record are admissible in the trial, which is scheduled for Sept. 30.
Drue remains free on bail.

The wreck occurred between mile markers 114 and 115, about two miles east of the Clarkson exit. A black Chevrolet Cobalt, traveling west on the parkway, left the roadway, the driver over-corrected, flipping into a six foot deep ditch, ending up facing the opposite direction of travel. There were three passengers in the car. Two refused treatment at the scene, with one person being transported by EMS to Twin Lakes Regional Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.

SEO Tracking – Bing in Google Analytics (and other custom search engines)
Plugins & Hacks, SEO & AnalyticsAs you may have heard, bing.com is the new search engine from Microsoft. Although tracking bing.com visitors in Google Analytics will take place automatically, the caveat is, that at present it is reported as a standard referrer – as if a link from another website. That means it is not grouped with other search engines in your reports and no keyword information is available.
This update allows you to track Bing.com as a search engine in Google Analytics with visitor keyword detail.
April 2011 – New async hack launched
This hack has been completely revised for the latest GA async code. Further info >>
Search still has a long way to go in helping people efficiently find information other than for product search, so reading the Bing press release certainly caught my attention. Also see my latest post tracking regional search engines.
Although Google will no doubt apply a bing.com fix in the near future, the "Tracking regional search engines" hack is a script that allows you to define your own specific list of search engines for Google Analytics. For example, by default, Google Analytics groups all Google organic searches a 'google / organic'. But what if you wish to separate google.com versus google.co.uk versus google.cn and all the other country specific domains? This hack enables this and allows you to define other regional specific engines such as naver.com (Korea), Eniro.com (Sweden) etc. In fact, over 100 regional specific search engines are now included, and you can easily add your own (or ask me to add them here!).
The Bing hack for Google Analytics
Using the script is straight forward – simply call it in your GATC before the function call _trackPageview(). For example, a modified GATC is as follows:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 | <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www."); document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E")); </script> <script type="text/javascript"> var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-123456-1"); </script> <script src="http://www.advanced-web-metrics.com/scripts/custom_se-ga.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> pageTracker._trackPageview(); </script> </code> |
Don't forget to change to your account number (UA-123456-1). If you are using the legacy urchin.js GATC, refer to the corresponding script in the Hacks section of this site (Hack #2).
Your Traffic Sources > Search Engines report will then look something like this:

August 19th, 2009 at 8:30 pmthanks a lot for the tip, already used it on my server, google analytics is the second tool i use to analize, and this post was usefull for me
BClifton Says:
July 28th, 2009 at 2:35 pmJen: Yes, hosting the script (any script) locally is the best way to implement. It gives you more control and allows you to troubleshoot easier. See also comments #2/3
Good luck.
Jen Says:
July 28th, 2009 at 12:18 pmOk, thanks Brian; I have to be honest I got a programmer in to clean up all my code.
He also advised me to host the custom_se-ga.js file under our own domain.
Despite not knowing so much code I manage to find my way with the help of your book and these posts.
Speaking of your book: on the next cover maybe try making the word "Google" stand out more. I had missed it the first time, even though it was exactly what I was looking for.
BClifton Says:
July 28th, 2009 at 9:59 amJen: As with all my "Hacks", the order of the code is important. So you need to place the call to custom_se-ga.js in the same place I have it.
SEM Expert Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 1:02 pmGreat post, thank you! I think soon GA will become a number 1 web-analytics tool in the internet
Jen Says:
July 2nd, 2009 at 12:15 pmGreat stuff, thanks for posting this.
Question (as a newbie): will it also work if I put the code before the UA number, like this:
(as there is no other /script to put it behind)
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-9586547-1″);
} catch(err) {} -

anyway thanks again.
BClifton Says:
June 15th, 2009 at 9:36 pmRussell: No problem at all – I am glad that you highlight this
Pedro: Thanks for the YouTube link – if you believe the hype Bing certainly worth a look…

Robert K Says:
June 5th, 2009 at 7:58 amThanks for this article – I'm not sure whether or not bing will take off like google – might be interesting to see though. Getting tracking stats from bing is very nice though. Thanks for the article and the script.
Russell Smith Says:
June 4th, 2009 at 11:55 pmOh, okay! You'll have to excuse me, jumping into this topic a bit prematurely as i haven't read the previous posts. Great, thanks for following up!
BClifton Says:
June 4th, 2009 at 8:39 pmRussell: Yes feel free to download and host locally. The original posts on this script recommend that, as does the book (I am also banking on all webmasters wishing to do that anyhow). I use the call direct here to simplify the description. Thanks for the feedback.
Russell Smith Says:
June 4th, 2009 at 5:57 pmGreat post, however doing so would create a dependence on your server, right? The other obviously being Google called to serve the initial ga.js? Depending on the adaption rate, this could have a pretty significant toll on your site's bandwidth, in turn affecting all the adopters.
Wouldn't it be a wiser approach to allow downloading of the script locally? That way people could place it on their servers cutting out that dependence altogether.
Just an observation. Thanks again.

Since December we have been considering the purchase of leather furniture. After several months of basic research and reading here - we are ready to start shopping. We are looking at Hancock and Moore, Bradington Young, and Smith Brothers (not made in NC), we are not firm on these manufacturers. Can anyone tell me in NC the best places to shop that are fair priced, customer service is good, etc.? We did outlet shopping about 6 years ago (one mart in particular) and we did not have a good experience once our purchase was made. We are not so sure about outlet shopping anymore, but are willing to try it again if a mart has a good recommendation. We are not interested in online shopping. Thanks for any help/information! |
Follow-Up Postings:
So you want the best of both worlds, wolfpackmom! Your best bet is to come to NC, not to buy from the outlets which offer poor customer service after the sale, but to buy directly from the manufacturer. You can visit their plant, sit in their furniture, choose your leather or fabric and they will build it to your specifications and then ship to you. If their is any problems you will know exactly who call at the manufacturer to have it taken care of. The problem is none of these manufactures H&M, BY or Smith Bros offers this, but their is some you can buy direct from. |

rmanbike, I guess I do want the best of both worlds! I live in eastern NC and will never return to one outlet that we have done business with. But just like any other profession/business, one bad apple doesn't mean they all are. Since we are not firm on any manufacturer, I would love to visit a plant, can you give me a few names you can visit in NC and buy direct from? |
Leather furniture can be a beautiful addition to any home.There are many beautiful leather furniture sets that are affordable and are conveniently available online. In choosing the best leather furniture though, it is important to consider the quality of the furniture.A well made piece of leather furniture can last a lifetime. |

Joseph002, We made our purchase today and went with Smith Brothers of Berne. |
Most factory direct manufacturers are local to your area, but their are a couple that can ship anywhere. Try searching the web: " factory direct custom sofas " Factory direct means that you are buying directly from the owners of the factory, no middleman markup. So they will only offer their brand of sofa. If they offer more than one brand, their not factory direct. |
Here is a link that might be useful: factory direct custom sofas

Lucky Editors Are Obsessed With These Boots!!!
These boots are nowhere on our list of dream shoes for spring. Instead, they're the shoes our editors are actually wearing.
Half of our staff—or, realistically, a quarter of it— saddles up to their desks every day in some version of these Western-skewing boots (Dolce Vita, Isabel Marant, American Eagle, whatever).
That wooden heel is solid enough to prevent 4pm shoe regret, the fatal hour when the choice to slip on heels in the morning seems so achingly stupid. Literally. And equally important, they're simple. Amazingly, perfectly simple.
Some of our editors wear them with jeans and chunky cable knit sweaters for a laidback, "Kate Bosworth on a shopping outing" vibe. Others wear them with tights and little dresses when they have fancy things to do after work. Either way, the boots don't steal attention from their outfits. They just fit. Which, I think, makes them more of a dream shoe than any 7-inch stiletto cobbled from raffia, glitter, acetate or magic.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Butch!
Facts about Butch
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Orange Or Red Tabby
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Butch's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Rescued along with Shylo, Butch is probably the friendliest of the three, cassidy is the other sister, her foster mom is working with her
Other Pets at Precious Paws, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Butch, a Vails Gate Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Vails Gate, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Vails Gate.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Vails Gate already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Vails Gate breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Vails Gate paves the way for another one to be saved.

By Paul Waugh
Tory backbenchers are set to be allowed a free vote on a Commons motion opposing prisoner voting rights, PoliticsHome.come has learned.
Faced with possibly his biggest ever rebellion by Conservative MPs, David Cameron is looking closely at allowing the Government payroll vote to abstain on the motion tabled by David Davis and Jack Straw.
With just over a week to go before next Thursday's Backbench Business Committee debate on the issue, Government whips are set to effectively concede they would lose the vote and instead allow MPs to express their personal views, sources say.
Meanwhile, the cross-party campaign against voting rights for prisoners hardened its stance today as Mr Davis and Mr Straw published the wording of their Commons motion opposing the Government's plans.
The motion states that "no sentenced prisoner", other than those on remand or in jail for contempt or debt default, should be granted the vote.
The European Court of Human Rights ruled last year in favour of John Hirst, a prisoner who had been convicted of manslaughter and argued that the voting ban was incompatible with the Human Rights Act. The Ministry of Justice and Number 10 concluded that to fight the ruling could result in lengthy and expensive litigation.
But that decision triggered fury among both Tory and Labour MPs.
The Straw-Davis motion stresses that Parliament, rather than the European courts, should decide the issue. It exploits the fact that the European Court of Human Rights conceded that there had been no "substantive" debate on the topic by Parliament.
The motion, which has been amended to fit with Parliamentary counsel's requirements, reads:
"That this House notes the ruling of the European Court of Human Rights in Hirst v the United Kingdom in which it held that there had been no substantive debate by members of the legislature on the continued justification for maintaining a general restriction on the right of prisoners to vote; acknowledges the treaty obligations of the UK; is of the opinion that legislative decisions of this nature should be a matter for democratically elected lawmakers; and supports the current situation in which no sentenced prisoner is able to vote except those imprisoned for contempt, default or on remand."
It is signed by Mr Davis, Mr Straw and Tory backbencher Dominic Raab.
Government sources have hinted that David Cameron is ready to bow to pressure from his own backbenchers and curb voting rights.
Whitehall lawyers had originally suggested that the law could be complied with if prisoners with sentences of four years were given the franchise, but recent reports suggested that prisoners with one-year sentences may only get the vote.
However, fresh figures released last week showed that even if inmates with one-year sentences were granted the vote, that would include upto 1,780 criminals convicted of violent and sexual offences. Tory and Labour MPs are ready to vote in large numbers to oppose any extension of the franchise.
The European Court set the government a deadline for a change in the law of August 2011 and ministers are expected to table legislation for first reading as late as possible. Some backbenchers believe that the Ministry of Justice could even table its legislation on the last day of the summer term before the Commons breaks for recess.
The former Tory Shadow Home Secretary and former Labour Home Secretary persuaded the Backbench Business Committee last month to debate the topic in one of its Backbench Days. The committee has 27 Commons days at its disposal this year.

Dimsy, I purchased this pattern. Why should I give it to you for free? Just go to www.patternsonline.com and purchase it. It is only $3.25. Not a lot and a great way to support the designer who already gives us so much free. Newbie157, the last letters are just as beautiful as the others. I can't wait for the border and accent designs to make it into a sampler. |
I want to do the alphabet on an afghan. I have to finish my Stoney Creek one first. LOL |
